The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 165 – Poem

Chapter 165: Poem

Old Madam Xu was not willing to be outdone. “Fine, let’s hear it. I do wish to know what kind of poem can you make out of food!”

The old madams from the Xiao and Lin Families looked at each other and sighed. Old Madam Xu and Old Madam Mo had been at each other’s throats since they were young. Even at this age, they were still the same.

“Is it because of that matter?” Old Madam He whispered to ask. Back then, the military art troupe came to recruit talents to perform for the soldiers. Old Madam Xu wanted to attend the audition and she dragged Old Madam Mo along with her. But in the end, it was Old Madam Mo who was picked and not Old Madam Xu.

When Old Madam Mo joined the training, she asked Old Madam Xu to look after her pet parrot and rabbit. When Old Madam Mo returned, her parrot died and she was served rabbit during dinner. It was since then that their feud was formed.

“Okay, this is how the poem goes.” Old Madam Mo looked at Old Madam Xu and coughed lightly.

“Little Bratz Aged Buffed Hoon

“Stew Pig At Stew Pit Tact

“Four Sam Fore Sa

“Bee Ok Ful Ass Yew Dew.”

When the guests heard the poem, they were stunned. Old Madam Mo sat down after she was done with the recitation. She bent down slightly to sip at the tea. The faces of the Xu Family people were visibly red. The meaning of the poem was quite clear.

“Little brat, aged buffoon;

Stupid act, stupid tact;

For shame, for shame;

Be a fool as you do.”

None of them expected Mo Li and Old Madam Mo to have come up with something like this. Old Madam Xu glanced at Mo Li and grumbled under her breath. “I refuse to believe actual dishes have such impossible names! If that’s true, I’ll eat the entire silverware on this table!”

“Old Madam Xu, then I shall hold you to that.” Mo Li heard her and smiled. “Let me introduce you to the dishes grandma and I have prepared.

“Starting from the left, we have pickled little olives, pan-fried bratwurst, chicken cooked in aged wine, buffalo wings and fried beehoon.

“Then there’s a fish stew, pig‘s feet, deep-fried muskrat, beef stew, pig‘s ear soup, air-fried chicken breast with skin intact. Followed by steamed four season beans, Samai rice and four-colored cakes, as well as sesame chicken.”

To make things more humiliating, as Mo Li rattled off the dishes’ names, Mo Yu loaded the dishes one by one on Old Madam Xu’s plate. Staring at the mountain of food on her plate, Old Madam Xu was infuriated but she didn’t dare to explode in public. The Mo Family sure knows how to bully people!

The eldest Young Master Xu knew about the history between the two elders. He coughed and looked at Mo Li awkwardly. He was about to interrupt her when Mo Yi asked his daughter. “What about the last few dishes? What are they?”

“Lastly, we have honey bee pancakes, fried okra, tasteful yam, spiced chicken ass, yew-smoked bacon and honeydew melons.”

Then Mo Li turned to Old Madam Xu, “Well, Old Madam Xu, are you going to clean up the table and the silverware?”

“You, you…” Old Madam Xu pointed her shaking finger at Mo Li but for a long time, she was at a loss for words.

Just as everyone was stumped by the awkwardness, a voice came from the door. It sounded derisive. “So these are the spread the famous Mo Family used to serve their respected guests? Aren’t they just normal convenience store food? How embarrassing.”
