However, a second group soon came to the kitchen looking for something to eat: Qingmu and Zhang Huai.
Juhua asked in astonishment, "Brother, you didn't get enough to eat either?"
Qingmu and Zhang Huai exchanged a helpless smile. "Everyone was practically fighting over the food. We couldn't eat as fast as them and only got two bowls. They had three bowls each and even snatched a piece of the rice crust. I just don't get it—it's like those guys don't even have throats."
Juhua and Liu Xiaomei found this hilarious.
Hearing this, Mrs. Yang hurried to the main hall to ask if everyone had eaten their fill. If not, she said she would bring out the fruit pastries for them and make a new batch in the afternoon.
Everyone insisted they were full, saying that fighting for the food just made it more fun and taste better.
