Since there were many people dining, lunch was simply steamed rice.
The rice was steamed, a few dishes were stir-fried, the portions were larger, followed by cooking a pot of soup, which made up the lunch.
It may sound simple, but a lot of effort was put into it.
With a mix of meat and vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, and pork were all included.
Such a lavish spread wasn't to entertain Pei Baoshu's family, but because during the New Year, one shouldn't let the sudden appearance of other people lead to neglecting one's own family.
During the New Year, the meals ought to be more lavish.
With so many people, if everyone sat in the dining room, it would be impossible to fit, so it had to be divided into two tables.
Fortunately, the coffee table in the living room was also large enough to accommodate a table.
Since they were seated at two tables, logically, one family at one table would suffice.
However, Xu Yufen and Pei Baoshu were determined not to do it that way.
