The flowing banquet, as the name suggests, means that while people at the table are still eating, there are already people waiting behind them.
Almost every person at the banquet has one or a few people behind them, eyeing their seats eagerly.
Eating slowly would invite a few complaints from others.
If they had thin skin, being stared at like this would make it nearly impossible to continue eating.
Of course, those who could attend the flowing banquet were not thin-skinned.
Especially those formidable women, holding one child in their arms, another on their back, and leading yet another, swarmed around the table.
The people eating would go to fetch a bowl of rice or a bun, and once they returned, their place would be occupied.
The good-tempered ones would just smile, stand aside, and finish their meal without fuss.
The ill-tempered ones, started to quarrel, and truly could say anything.
