It's the evening when it's a big banquet.￥f.￥f

The chefs in the provincial capital are all the chefs who cut vegetables and all the veterans who are good at cutting vegetables.

According to local customs, the chef is responsible for red envelopes at wedding banquets, because whether the wine and food are good or not depends entirely on the chef. In the past, there were often chefs who kept half of the dishes and secretly took them, so it was necessary to give red envelopes to the chef for insurance.

In addition, you need to contact the chef to cut vegetables, otherwise the two sides will not be together, and the people below will show the chef's face.

However, the chefs dare not act rashly today. This is Jie Yuanlang's wedding banquet. Not to mention the number of officials from the fourth to seventh ranks. Among Lin Yanchao's classmates in the same year, there were many scholars and scholars. If they offend these juren, as long as they say a word, their reputation in the provincial capital would be ruined.

So the chef dared not be careless. He got up early in the morning to prepare materials and asked about everything himself. In addition, the reward given by the Lin family was quite generous, so he took a twelve-point level.

After you hire a chef, it’s the venue. The Lin Mansion is definitely not enough to place it, and it’s not OK to place it on the street.

Because the banquet is placed according to the top seat, flat seat, and water mat. The water mat may not be given special attention, but the flat seat and the top seat cannot.

Especially when you come to the table, wait for the senior officials to come, and you let others sit on the open-air table where the wind is everywhere, that will definitely not work.

Therefore, the Lin family directly borrowed a place called Hongyun Restaurant at the entrance of the alley to organize a wedding banquet. The chef used his own, serving dishes, and the venue to use the restaurant. In addition to the restaurant, he also borrowed a lot of family affairs from neighbors and set up a flowing table nearby. In the end, more than 60 tables were placed.

Then there is the dishes on the table, so we have to pay attention to it.

At that time, there was a saying that "eat for three days with a meal." In this era when people generally eat clear soup and water, they had to eat a meal when they went to the meal. If they were still hungry after eating, they would be scolded by the backbone.

The Lin family specially added 20% of the portion of the dishes. According to the customs of Fujian, eighteen bowls should be placed at wedding banquets, that is, eighteen dishes.

Among them are both red sturgeon and hard dishes like sea cucumbers, as well as home-cooked dishes like cucumbers and jellyfish skins, as well as river food, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, etc., which makes people feel rich and honorable. They are also remarkable and will not deliberately show off like the nouveau riche in the imperial examination.

When it was time to attend the banquet, as the groom Lin Yanchao, he and the officials of the Lin family wanted to welcome guests at the entrance of the restaurant.

The first ones were neighbors, the aunts and aunts in their hometown, grandfather and uncle in the officialdom, and the aunt and the family of the third aunt also came together.

The aunt's father, Mr. Xie, and the aunt's brother, Xie Laosan, looked at Lin Yanchao with diligence.

Even if they were beaten to death, they would never have thought that the young man who had been with him in court actually knew Yuan, and the uncle and his family would rely on Lin Yanchao.

They are always worried that Lin Yanchao will still hold grudges for the past and take this opportunity to please him now.

However, seeing the two of them showing their diligence really made Lin Yanchao unable to stand it, and he added three-point negative reviews.

As for the third aunt's mother's boss Ma and his wife, they were also surprised. The third uncle and the third wife had only been married for less than a year, and then the scholar was suddenly won the juren.

From my husband to my master, both of them shouted respectfully.

Lin Yanchao hurriedly said, "Both are elders, please call me Yanchao."

The two hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not."

They competed with others to meet Lin Yanchao. The old neighbors and relatives in their hometowns were much more peaceful. Of course, everyone was forced to praise Lin Yanchao when they saw Lin Yanchao, but they did not regard Lin Yanchao as Jie Yuanlang, but instead joked.

This is how Lin Yanchao became much more comfortable.

Soon Lin Chengyi arrived, Lin Yanchao was overjoyed and went forward to salute Lin Chengyi.

Lin Chengyi looked at Lin Yanchao up and down. Nodded and said, "I finally grew up and became a human being. It depends on you when I go in the future."

Lin Yanchao heard this and hurriedly said, "If it weren't for the mentor, how could there be disciples today?"

Lin Chengyi smiled and said, "I have been tributed and I will go to Shuntian Prefecture in some time."

Lin Yanchao heard that although Lin Chengyi failed the provincial examination, he was able to enter the Imperial College, so he couldn't help but say happily for him: "Disciple, congratulations to sir first."

Lin Chengyi smiled and said, "After Issuer graduated from the Imperial College, I will go to the spring exam. If I fail, I will go to the Ministry of Personnel to discuss my position. When the time comes, you will go to the capital to go to the mortal exam, and you will see you and I will see you."

"Disciples will definitely visit."

Lin Chengyi smiled and encouraged, "I think I have read the books of sages for half my life, but I am mediocre. It is really the most conscientious thing for me to accept disciples like you in this life."

The master and apprentice said a few more words, and the guests arrived again. Lin Yanchao asked his uncle to lead Lin Chengyi to sit in the seat.

Lin Yin and Lin Liao came together again. Lin Yin saw Lin Yanchao congratulations first, and then asked, "When are you planning to enter Beijing?"

Lin Yanchao said: "If you go back to the mountain leader, you will be ready to enter Beijing next year or the year after."

"Can there be a place to join us in Beijing?"

Lin Yanchao hesitated and said, "Yes."

Lin Yin said: "I have one or two officials from the same age who are in Beijing. They still have letters to communicate on weekdays. You can take my letter and go to the capital to visit me."

Lin Yanchao knew that Lin Yin was paving the way for him and lending his connections to him. He said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Shan."

Lin Yinfu Xu sighed: "The mountain is getting older and she is in poor health recently. I really want to see you one day earlier."

Lin Yanchao knew that he and Lin Chengyi might have a chance to meet again, but it was difficult to meet Lin Yin again. He went to Beijing to take the exam, and it would probably take three to five years to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives. His teacher is old and really can't see him again.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Lin Liao hurriedly said, "Master, the happy days, why bother to say these? Yanchao, you know Yuan very well, and you will live up to the teachings of the mountain master and me, but you should not be careless. You need to remember to go further with the head of the 100-foot pole."

Lin Yin smiled and said, "You are. You still say this on weekdays, and Yanchao is the groom's official today."

Lin Liao laughed and said, "I am used to it on weekdays, so I will be harmonious with Yanchao and your husband and wife, and let you grow old together!"

Lin Yanchao nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Shan Chang, you must not return without getting drunk today.

At that moment, Lin Gaozhu invited Lin Yin and Lin Liao to the table.

As everyone entered the venue, the officials and nobles arrived behind him.

Master Shen arrived first, and when he saw Lin Yanchao, he smiled and said, "Little brother, Jie Yuanlang, I'm here to congratulate you."

Lin Yanchao stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Shen, you are so polite. What kind of friendship do we have?"

Master Chen smiled and said, "Well, if you say something false, you'll be polite. But I'm happy to see you before returning to my hometown in Shaoxing." (To be continued.)
