Cooking a banquet at home is really different from that in a hotel. You have to prepare all the dishes by yourself. Some dishes have to be prepared first, such as the braised pork bar. The meat must be marinated first, and there are some other dishes such as roasting.
Things like whitening have to be done first... Anyway, it's a lot of steps.
Chen Yang had had many banquets before, but he had never participated in them. Seeing them busy like this, he felt a little helpless. He could only watch from a distance, but he could not help much.
And this busy time is never-ending.
After breakfast on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the place became even busier.
But fortunately, the people in the village were very experienced in making banquets, and they immediately came to help.
For example, if there are no tables and chairs, then everyone will bring the tables and chairs used for eating at home.
The space in Third Grandpa’s house was definitely not enough to put these things, so we started from the yard and put them outside, placing them on the road.
There are not many cars in the village, so they can put them on the village road so that everyone can eat there and so on.
Chen Yang sat there and began to prepare to receive the gift.
As the time came to around ten o'clock, the guests slowly arrived.
So, the ceremony came slowly.
Chen Yang sat there and began to receive gifts and write names on the outside of their red envelopes.
Because their village is really rich, there are a lot more people and relatives in the village, especially people like Third Grandpa who are already very famous. This time for his 81st birthday, more people will come.
.
Chen Yang memorized it quickly, but despite this, he still couldn't remember it.
Fortunately, I still have a deputy to help me write.
After all this, it was almost twelve o'clock, and Chen Yang's bag was already full, filled with red envelopes.
"Okay, it's time to serve the meal..." At this time, someone was already calling for help.
So all the guests found their seats to eat.
According to their order here, the important relatives sit inside, while other ordinary friends can sit wherever they like.
Chen Yang relaxed his muscles, put away the pen and red envelope, and then said to the others: "Okay, let's sit down quickly, we have to eat too..."
The third grandfather's son came over and pulled Chen Yang and said, "Xiaoyang, sit inside."
But Chen Yang refused with a smile and said: "No need, we are all welcome, you let them sit first, I will sit here with the people in our village..."
"Sit with me!" Liu Yingxin came over and pulled Chen Yang to a table very domineeringly.
When I looked over, I saw Gao Xin, Li Hanyan and the others all sitting there.
They are all women and there is not a single man.
Chen Yang looked around, and finally smiled and said: "That's great, I can just sit here."
The third grandfather's son also knew what kind of character Chen Yang was, so he had no choice but to leave.
"Come, have something to eat!" Li Hanyan gave Chen Yang a piece of meat and said, "You've been busy for a long time today. It's not easy. Come on, come on, eat."
When dinner time arrives, the banquet officially begins.
In fact, if you sit at the same table as the old people in the village, there are many rules. But their table is different. Everyone doesn't have so many rules at all. As long as you sit down, you can eat whatever you want.
You don’t need to talk about so many old table rules when it comes to what to eat.
What Chen Yang likes is freedom, so I am very happy personally.
Everyone had a great time eating, and everyone was happy to eat.
When it was almost time to eat, Chen Yang picked up the wine glass and went to find the third grandfather.
"Third Grandpa, come, let me have a drink with you. I wish you longevity as long as Nanshan Mountain and happiness as the East China Sea!"
With a smile on his face, the third grandfather stood up and said: "Okay, okay, Xiaoyang, I won't say much else. At your age, there is only one thing you can do, and that is to get a wife and have children as soon as possible."
child!"
Others immediately nodded.
"That's right, other people in our village have already had children at your age!"
"You have to hurry up!"
Listening to their words, Chen Yang felt ashamed and quickly drank a glass of wine.
I can't afford to offend you, these people are still urging you to get married on such an occasion.
"The Third Grandpa is right..." Liu Yingxin said to Chen Yang with a smile, "At your age now, you can indeed get married. By the way, tell me if you are interested in anything.
I'll introduce it to you."
Li Hanyan took a sip of water and said calmly: "Yes, if you like anyone, you can tell me, there are many beauties in our company."
Gao Xin had a smile on his face: "Don't say it's Mr. Li's company, we have quite a few of our own companies."
Long Danyang just ate his meal quietly and did not join in the war between these women.
Chen Yang suddenly regretted it.
What am I running for? Why do I have to find this place to eat? Am I just looking for trouble?
Chen Yang simply pretended not to hear what they were saying. Anyway, no matter what you said, I didn't want to answer you, let alone discuss it with you. I just closed my eyes and pretended I didn't know anything.
Seeing that Chen Yang stopped talking, the others didn't pursue it any further, but just glanced at him from time to time.
Chen Yang looked embarrassed and continued to eat.
This third grandpa's birthday banquet ended just like that.
After eating, Chen Yang had to follow them to open the gifts. After finishing this work, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Yang returned to his home.
Not long after, Lu Xuewei and Aunt Xiu also came back.
The two women have been busy there every day, and they are too busy to leave home.
It was really tiring for the two chefs to direct the banquet for so many people.
But the food they prepared was also recognized by the villagers.
I have to say, it is indeed delicious.
"Are you tired?" Chen Yang saw their tired faces and immediately stepped forward and said, "Come on, you guys should take a rest first, tonight..."
"I have to go back for dinner tonight." Lu Xuewei lay on the sofa and didn't want to move. "I told Grandpa Third that I don't want to go, but he will definitely come over and call me. I just want to sleep a little longer.
…”
"Me too!" Aunt Xiu also lay there motionless, and said to Chen Yang, "Xiaoyang, if they come to call us again, please tell them not to call us, and let's take a good rest."
Chen Yang felt a little distressed, "Okay, go sleep inside, don't sleep outside here, I just ask them not to disturb you, you guys go to sleep quickly."
The two women looked at each other and immediately went into Chen Yang's other room to sleep.
The two of them were really sleepy, so they fell asleep not long after entering.
Chen Yang was also sleepy.
He fell asleep soon after.
Until around six o'clock in the evening, the third grandfather's son was already shouting outside: "Xiaoyang, come and have dinner soon..."
Chen Yang then stood up in confusion and came outside: "Uncle, we won't go. Look at how sleepy we are now. You can eat first and don't worry about us."
"You really don't want to go?" Third Grandpa's son asked.
"I'm not going, I'm too sleepy. My sister-in-law and Aunt Xiu are sleeping there and don't want to move. You guys can eat first."
