What does that bold part mean?




Well, you figured it out, but I'll make a proper answer since nobody else
seems to be writing one.

> 高田くんのお兄さんは、菜ばしを“サービス”という形に動かした。
>
> 高田くんのお兄さんは _Takada's brother_ -- subject
>
> 菜ばしを _chopsticks_ -- object
>
> 動かした _moved_ -- verb
>
> 高田くんのお兄さんは、菜ばしを動かした。 _Takada's brother moved (his) chopsticks_
>
> “サービス”という[形]{かたち}に _into the shape of_ 「サービス」

サービス means 'freebie' in this context. He was making a gesture with his
chopsticks to inform that the food was "on the house".

What that gesture looks like, I don't know. If someone happens to know, please
comment.
