Chapter 614: Banquet Preparations

After a while, Li Shuning came in wearing a small military uniform, "Master, the clothes are very good-looking, I like it." ”

"If you like it, it looks just right. Li Shenzhou looked up and down, and according to her eyesight, she could naturally see at a glance whether the clothes fit or not.

"It's the master and the Shen Yuan master who chose it well. Li Shuning couldn't put it down and touched the clothes on his body.

"Okay, you go and call Li Shuzhi and a few of them to practice martial arts! ”

Li Shuning said, "Yes, master, disciple is going to practice." ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Shuning turned around and walked out of the room and ran out of the courtyard quickly, while Li Shenzhou drank all the water in the cup and followed him out of the courtyard.

After arriving in the front yard, he found Li Mingchen and Li Shenyuan, "Hello uncles." ”

"Why did Shen Zhou come here?" Li Mingyuan raised his eyebrows at her.

Li Shenzhou said with a smile: "I came here to ask if there is any extra wood in the village, and I want to put some plum blossom pillars next to the original plum blossom piles in the back; ”

"Yes, there is, basically every household in the village has some leftover wood, and I will ask you about it in the next year. Li Mingchen answered casually.

"Then thank you Uncle Tang. ”

Li Mingchen chuckled, "No thanks, you just came here for this?"

"Yes. Li Shenzhou bowed his head.

"Then sit down and listen to the engagement wine too. Li Mingchen pointed to the position next to him.

Li Mingjin shook his head, "Zhouzhou is a girl's family, let's discuss the matter of engagement wine, it's inconvenient for her to stay here." ”

Li Mingyuan didn't think so, "Third brother, when the sinking boat is big, you will always know about human relations in the future; although the engagement wine is only once in a lifetime, they can still use it in the future, and they still have to understand what they should understand, and they can't be blinded temporarily." ”

Li Mingjin was silent for a while.

"Daddy, it's okay for me to stay and listen, it's all my engagement anyway. Li Shenzhou stepped forward and sat beside him, stretched out his hand and took his hand, "I'll just listen, don't speak." ”

"Okay then! Li Mingjin sighed, saying that he was sorry for his daughter, if his wife hadn't died, she would have been in charge of her daughter's engagement and marriage at this time, and she would naturally teach her these things. Now that his wife is gone, her daughter can only learn from him if she wants to learn something.

In today's era, it is still very guaranteed, and many families still use the habits that have been handed down, and the Li family is no exception, and the female dependents basically follow the elders to learn, and the most important thing is the relationship between people. If the elders of the family pass away, they can only learn from the daughters of the same generation as their fathers or mothers.

Li Mingchen pointed at him amusedly, "Ming Jin, you, you're just blindly worried; Shen Yuan is not an outsider, Shen Zhou stayed to listen to what's wrong? Could it be that Shen Yuan still dares to say that Shen Zhou doesn't dare to listen to it?"

"Don't dare. Li Shenyuan shook his head with a smile, and the smile in his eyes softened when his eyes swept over her.

Li Mingjin looked at him seriously several times before relieving his heart, "Since this is the case, then you should listen carefully; there are hundreds of people in our clan, and when you set up the engagement wine, unless there is something that can't come, you will definitely come." At least forty or fifty tables must be set up in this village, plus women who marry out of the village, there are many people who drag their families with them. We discussed it, and for fear that there would not be enough for the feast, we tentatively set up seventy tables. ”

"Chicken, duck, fish and pork should be served, four plates of cold dishes, three kinds of green vegetables, three soup dishes, and the staple food is dough cake and wowotou. It costs about ten yuan for a table, and maybe there are more than that, but these are not counted first, but only ten yuan. ”

The face of a family represents the face of a family, and their family is not short of money and things, so it is natural to be generous.

"That's probably it, Shen Yuan, do you have any other opinions? Li Mingjin turned his gaze to Li Shenyuan and stared at him fixedly.

Li Shenyuan silently calculated it, and felt that these dishes were enough before nodding, "I have no opinion, Uncle Li and your uncles are naturally proper." ”

"Okay, that's it for the banquet; chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, and other meats have already begun to be prepared by the people in the village; these things are not easy to buy, and now every household has a number of livestock. Dozens of chickens and ducks can be collected in the village, which is not enough, and you have to go to the meat factory in the county to see if you can prepare everything you need from them. After Li Mingjin finished speaking, he paused and looked at the others.

Li Mingchen and Li Mingxin nodded one after another, "It's okay to arrange it this way, it's more convenient for you and Mingyuan's identities to get some meat back; If it is not enough, borrow some from the village and buy it later and return it to them. ”

Li Mingshan smiled and nodded, "It's not a big problem with the banquet, but which cook should we invite? There are three cooks in our clan, one is good at meat, one is good at pasta, and the other is good at chili." Each has its own characteristics, and the banquet can be done well, and people can't talk about it. ”

Throughout the ages, banquets have been talked about; if you do it well, everyone will praise it; if you don't do it well, you will be talked about behind your back.

"Let's invite the three of them together! This will make it easier for them, and how they should distribute it depends on how they are good at it. Li Mingjin gave an idea.

"It's not in accordance with the rules, if you invite one, you can't invite a second one. Li Mingxin shook his head.

Li Mingjin said: "We are all people of the same race, make it clear to them, just say that there are many banquets, they are too busy alone, please invite two more." As for how to distribute it to them, if they don't agree, then give up, let's just ask from outside the village. ”

What he said is not false, there are indeed many banquets, and one person will definitely not be busy, and if they are willing to come, they will choose their own meat and vegetables to make, and no one will smash their own signboards.

Besides, everyone has the same roots, so what's wrong with working together once?

"Ming Jin's words are reasonable, there is no one in our clan who does not respect who does not respect, the three of them invite together, let's do what we should do, that family is not lazy, as for whether to come or not, that is their business. Li Mingchen was on the side to help.

Li Mingyuan also thought this idea was good, "That's true, you can't write two Li characters in one stroke, then invite together, let's go together, go one by one, and show respect to them." ”

"Okay, that's it. Li Mingjin made a decision.

Everything else at the engagement banquet has been discussed, and even Xu Hongqi and the others have already begun to prepare.

Several big men discussed who would invite, and finally Li Mingyuan, Li Mingjin and Li Mingchen went to the three cooks' homes to invite people.

The results were very gratifying, and the chefs of the three families all said that they would come, and they were very enthusiastic.
