Chapter 120: Preparations
Chapter 120 Preparations
The next day, Li Junge took Ayin Liang Huili to the ancestral hall to discuss the matter of the forty-fifth grandfather's ninety-fifth birthday, the longevity of the old man in the village to hold a big birthday, it is also a big event in the township, and the people on the scene should not invite which ones should not be invited, they have to inquire, as well as the protΓ©gΓ©s of the fourth grandfather, these should also be inquired, whether people come or not is one thing, and it is another thing if Li Jiagou can't count the rites.
After explaining this, Li Junge took out his mobile phone and called Hu Yonggang again, asking him if he could come back a week later. Then I called a group of colleagues in Chongqing and asked them when they could come, the authentic Jiudouwanba Dam Banquet, don't miss it.
The so-called "guests go to the prosperous house", the more people at the Baba banquet, the better, Li Junge made an appointment, and called his own merchants, first of all, Yu Xiaorong, this girl helped herself a lot during the period of lychee sales.
The phone was connected, and a gurgling voice came from there: "Brother Caige, I haven't seen each other for a long time." β
Li Junge's mind was full of black lines: "Yu girl, don't make trouble, get serious, my farmhouse here has been repaired, and I invite you to play." Next week, we are going to hold a nine-bucket bowl banquet for our Li family ancestors, I think this can also be regarded as one of the intangible cultural heritage, are you interested in playing?
I've read all your websites, are there really so many kinds of wild animals in your mountains?"
Li Junge said: "Yes, yes, but it is impossible to see them all, pheasants and rabbits must be fine, and the rest depends on luck." But the food must be good, there are a lot of wild mushrooms!"
Yu Xiaorong was even happier: "Ouch, you dead skin, you don't know what I'm doing? With this good thing, hurry up and go to the supermarket on the cold chain! This is a rare thing in a big city!"
Li Junge said: "Ouch, why is it involved in business again, okay, let's talk about it when you come, I will definitely not be in a hurry this year, and it is going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival." When you come, we'll discuss what to do next year!"
After finishing speaking, she was about to hang up the phone, and Yu Xiaorong hurriedly shouted: "Brother Erpi, wait, I have a few Beijing businessmen who want to come to travel, can you bring them over when the time comes?"
Li Junge said: "The more people at the Ba Ba banquet, the more lively it is, no problem, bring it over, it's not hot now, you can have a good time in Lijiagou." β
After hanging up the phone, I went to the uncle again, and I had to discuss this matter with him.
When I came to the uncle's house and told the uncle, the uncle thought about it: "This dam banquet is not an ordinary big one, it is estimated that most of the entire township will come, and the people in the city you said are just fragments, not even a small head." β
Li Junge was stunned: "How can there be so many?"
Uncle said: "The elders in the township have four ancestors, and the two branches of the upper and lower rivers account for half of the township, which is thousands of households, and there are more than 2,000 people in each family. β
Li Junge suddenly felt that his brain was a little tight, and he couldn't turn around, oh my God, five hundred tables, and said, "There are so many people, how can you notify them?"
The township attaches great importance to family affection, and everyone remembers the birthdays of the elders, so they don't need to be notified at all, they themselves will come to the ancestral hall on that day." β
Li Junge said: "Then how to prepare for this banquet? Not to mention pork, don't you have to bring thousands of chickens, ducks, and fish?"
Uncle said: "Count two tables of a chicken, a duck, I estimate that each of the three hundred is almost appropriate, and then the fish prepare five hundred two catties or so, you don't have to worry about these things, you come over again in the evening, I called the oil kitchen team in the township, we discussed this matter together, by the way, hurry up to find Ermao, pull him to buy, this tobacco, wine and candy and the like are ready first." β
Li Junge turned around and ran, the data of the good guy is completely different from the dozens of tables he originally considered.
ran out of the door and turned back, and asked, "Uncle, how can these five hundred tables be opened?"
Uncle waved his hand: "If the table is full, you will open a table, you have eaten less at this flowing water table?"
Li Junge slapped his head at this time, and when he got nervous, he forgot about this stubble!
ran to the small supermarket again and shouted at the door: "Ermao!
Li Ermao drilled out and shouted: "Erpi, what's going on?"
Li Junge said: "Hurry up and follow me into the city to pull goods, tobacco, alcohol and sugar, good guy, I am thinking about hundreds of people, just now the uncle said thousands of people, this scared me to death!"
Ermao haha, and said: "I just thought to myself when you should come to me, you haven't said that I'm embarrassed to mention it, this is the fourth grandfather's birthday, right?"
Li Junge scolded: "You didn't remind me earlier, I thought that a week was enough time to arrange, but it turned out to be so big." β
Ermao said: "Don't worry, your uncle is familiar with these things, don't worry, I guarantee it properly." β
The two of them went into the city and called the two dogs in the lobby and went directly to the sugar and wine wholesale market.
The people in the villagers by the Hongshui River drank a lot, and there were two bottles on a table, which was also a thousand bottles, a pack of cigarettes on a table, that is, fifty pieces, and melon seeds, peanuts, candy and pastries, seventy or eighty thousand flowers went out, and the things dragged two whole cars.
In the evening, Li Junge and his father went to the uncle's house, and the Li family gathered together.
The uncle spoke first: "Brother Siyuan over there of the Fourth Ancestor is in the United States, and he is also old, so it is estimated that he will not be able to come back this time, so we have to deal with this matter." β
Dad said: "That's it, this year, my side of the baby is back, there is nothing to do all day long fishing and walking the dog, and the eldest brother just orders the errands." β
Li Junge has a black line in his head, why am I a negative model again.
Uncle said: "Piwa went to the city today to bring all the tobacco, alcohol and candy, which cost seventy or eighty thousand, I think about this trivial matter of chickens, ducks, pigs and fish, just let me come." As for your eldest aunt and second aunt, just do what it means, after all, it's a married daughter. β
Brother Lobby also said: "This is a major event in the clan, and it is not appropriate for your family to produce the second skin, so let's give a part of each of our families." β
Dad was not hypocritical, and said: "That's it, just listen to the eldest brother." However, the two pigs in my house are too big to occupy the pigsty, so this time I will solve them so that I can make room for the wild boar baby. β
Two people came in while talking, one was a big fat man, and the other was a black and thin old man.
The big fat man had a loud voice, and when he entered the door, he shouted to the uncle: "Brother, the ninety-fifth birthday of the fourth ancestor, you called me here for this matter, right?
Li Junge was about to laugh when he heard it, looking at his figure, isn't it three high?
The uncle introduced to his father and Li Junge: "This is Lao Liu, the head of the oil kitchen team in Panao Township, Lao Liu, this time about the birthday of the ancestor, then I have to trouble you to do more." β
Liu Sangao said: "Such a big banquet, it was the face that the master gave me, I thought I couldn't be blind, so I brought the team leader of Baimi Township, it was this, Wang Yuhua." β
Li Junge laughed secretly, as black as carbon, and returned to Yuhua.
smiled in his heart, and quickly got up to scatter cigarettes for the two, which can't offend people because of this.
Wang Yuhua stood up and took it, and said: "The banquet in this township, two or three hundred tables is a big seat, and I can greet Liu Fatzi's subordinates with twenty or thirty people, and these are all appropriate, but the four chefs are still a little insufficient, I heard that my brother, your family is also running a restaurant in the city, I don't know if you can help?"
Brother Lobby said: "No problem, when the time comes, I will also call Liu Sanwa and Wang Fatzi over, plus me, seven chefs, is it enough?"
Liu Sangao laughed and said, "Seven chefs, then we can open sixty tables, that scene, think about it, it's all lively!"
Generally, the banquet is held in nine bucket bowls, and the main family has to start raising chickens, ducks and pigs a year and a half in advance, which can reduce costs, but it is definitely not suitable for this banquet, fortunately, Liu Sangao and Wang Yuhua are both old team leaders, and they are familiar with these ways, plus the appeal of the uncle in the township, a few people talked and laughed and decided the matter.
There are still a lot of things, such as the menu needs to be finalized, for example, Baimi Township is on the opposite side of the Hongshui River, and the guys in Wang Yuhua's team can't move the seats, so half of the tables, chairs, pots and stoves have to be made up in Lijiagou.
It is necessary to build a shed, and sixty tables of tables are opened at the same time, and this noodle ancestral hall cannot be placed, and some of them have to be placed on the threshing floor, which is the real dam feast.
Grabbed the deposit in front of the uncle and paid the deposit to the two team leaders, Li Junge returned home to prepare an invitation list, which was not needed in the township, but the people in the city paid attention to this and had to deliver it one by one.
Next, I went to the city, sent invitations to some important guests, built a stove next to the ancestral hall, built a shed, and was very busy.
Sun Lao and Senior Brother are still inspecting Panao Township, Li Junge asked Liang Huili and Ayin to accompany them, and they drove a pickup truck to pull chickens for a while and ducks for a while, but they really couldn't take care of it.
Within two days, the fourth grandfather came and was very happy: "Piwa, hurry up and go to Shudu, Yuhuai and Yuxiang will go to Shudu tomorrow, you go and pick them up." β
"Ahh
These two are the last relatives of the fourth grandfather, and they flew over from the United States before their birthdays.
It's another big deal, Li Junge directly pulled his boss Xingzhun and said, "This matter depends on you!"
Si Xingzhun rolled his eyes: "You know how to drive yourself, why do you want to pull me?"
Li Junge said: "I'm going to get lost in Shu, by the way, by the way, ask Yu Yatou if they can come back together." β
The two of them went to Shudu that night, but Si Xingzhun didn't go home, and drove directly to a military management area, which was the residence of his grandfather, the old man Si.
Through layers of checkpoint access control, the car stopped under a small red brick building, Li Junge carried the big bag out of the car, and said to Si Xingzhun: "You are a fool of the baby, right?
