If Zihan's Mother's actions left the other mothers at the table feeling disdainful, then when they saw Jingyi's Mother scarfing down the leftover sauce from the Mei Cai Kou Rou with rice, the other women suddenly had an epiphany!
"You all sit tight, I'm going to get myself a bowl of rice too."
"Oh dear, my stomach feels a little off as well, I need to get a bowl of rice too."
All of a sudden, the mothers all got up from the table and went over to Chen Mo at the workstation to ask for rice.
"What's this all about...?"
Things going awry is always suspicious.
Chen Mo looked over at the table and saw two mothers with rice bowls, their faces almost buried into them, and suddenly it all clicked for him.
Were they eating directly with the rice?
Oh well, since the guests requested it, Chen Mo couldn't say much, lest someone go home after the feast complaining that they weren't even given a mouthful of rice, now that would indeed be a joke.
