This must have been the village chief's wooden table used for entertaining guests, which now served as a dining table for the group.
The villagers had provided pickles, which Sasa ceremoniously arranged a bit of each kind.
However, the pickles without any additional flavor were definitely mediocre; most importantly, they had underestimated the potency of the pickles—they were the strong kind of dish that could easily accompany a large bowl of rice with just a tiny bit!
Even though Bai Sasa had cooked four pounds of rice, resulting in thirteen bowls, two per person still felt insufficient, and most of the pickles were left over.
It was the first time everyone had leftovers, and they were all stunned.
Just then, children happened to come by for a visit.
The children were holding sorghum buns with no vegetables or seasoning, but they were happily nibbling away, anxiously picking up even the smallest crumbs that fell to the ground to eat.
