Chapter 881: The Engagement Banquet
Dai Qiping, who participated in the engagement ceremony, greeted his familiar peers, and then looked at the dishes served on the round table one by one, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He is the boss of a local chain tea franchise store in Qinghe City, last year he took a fancy to the design style of Heterodu Greening Company, and renovated all his own chain stores to make the indoor green plants chic, fragrant grass, and was well received by customers, so he became a regular customer of Heterodu Greening Company, and was invited to participate in the opening dinner of Heterodu City Farm yesterday.
It just so happened that he was also a relative of the man's mother at this engagement, so he didn't expect to come to this banquet hall again tonight.
Last night's opening party left him with a very deep memory. He also had a big explosion of luck and got his hands on a new type of mobile phone that claimed to use plant power. Today he can't wait to buy a new card and use his phone.
He remembered that at the dinner last night, there was not much socializing, and after the cauldron of food was placed, everyone seemed to be hungry for several days, and they threw themselves into the arms of eating and drinking.
This feeling can be described in only one word, it is so refreshing.
It seems that except in his childhood, he no longer has the sense of pleasure in eating at the feast and forgetting everything.
At this time, he was at this grand engagement performance, looking at the step-by-step speeches, and the traditional food delivery mode, he always felt that it was not as interesting as last night's opening dinner.
The nine-section shrimp tower that has just been served on the table is only five floors. Yesterday's buffet nine shrimp towers, but the prawns with a height of one meter, red and bright, hung on the shrimp tower, and the big sturgeon crab pot piled up on the next table complemented each other, looking more appetizing than the small plate of shrimp towers on the table and the crab meat sliced and plated.
"Alas!"
Today's appetite is much worse than yesterday's.
The middle-aged man sitting next to Dai Qiping was his cousin, who seemed to be eating happily.
After sandwiching a nine-section prawn, he turned his head to Dai Qiping and said, "The banquet in this hotel is very good, next time you can consider coming here to set the table." ”
Dai Qiping shook his head, and secretly said that this kid didn't know.
Yesterday's opening banquet of the Heterogen City Farm was not bad, and next year's birthday of his old man, he considered adopting that form of self-help.

The traditional engagement banquet in Qinghe City is much simpler than the formal wedding, which is basically to entertain the guests, distribute cakes and sweets, and send the invitation to the formal wedding banquet to everyone.
Ordinary people will only order a few tables of meals in the hotel, and they will not be too grand like the Feng family.
At the beginning of the banquet, Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua were arranged by Pan Ruoming to be next to Dean Pan.
There were not many people who were familiar with Dean Pan present, so he could only pull Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua to talk about the joy in their hearts, and their radiant expressions made people happy.
"I really didn't expect to see Sister Pan get married so early, Xiaofeng is a very good child, he comes to the house to eat with me from time to time, and he will do moxibustion for me. "Dean Pan's body, under the care of Pei Yuancao, has recovered very well, plus he is in a happy mood, and he can also rub mahjong with the aunt and uncle in the community in his spare time, and the whole person looks many years younger.
"Aunt Pan, Sister Pan is the treasure of our company, and whoever she marries is his blessing. Lin Zeng scooped a spoonful of blood eel soup for Dean Pan, and followed her words.
This blood eel is the treasure of his own ocean restaurant. The appearance of the blood eel is dark red, the flesh is pink, extremely delicate, the soup presents a faint crimson color, there is no fishy smell of ordinary yellow eel, it is the best tonic in autumn and winter.
It is a specialty of Dong Binh Island in Haixi Province, and because it is scarce, it is extremely expensive. Lin Zeng specially asked someone to find a few, raised them in family ecological water bubbles, and gradually cultivated them into a group of blood eels, with more than 20 family ecological water bubbles. He plans to grow this fine breed into a huge blood eel bubble tree.
Yesterday's opening dinner, I didn't want to take it out. If it weren't for Feng Yanming's high price, and at the same time for Pan Ruoming's sake, he wouldn't have let go. Don't look at the twelve people at a table, in fact, in the small bowl of soup plate, there are only two blood eels with thick fingers, which is not enough for one bowl per person, a piece of meat the size of a coin.
Rao is so, this dish was brought out, and everyone at the table secretly exclaimed, it was worthy of the Feng family banquet, and it was a luxury ingredient that was difficult to find at a high price. People living along the coast are very knowledgeable about these tonics, and they have started to scoop the soup.
Dean Pan took a sip of the soup gently, it was sweet and delicious, but she was not as eager as the other guests at the table.
Pan Ruoming brought her a few of these nourishing expensive blood eels, and Feng Yanming cooked them, although the taste was not as good as the chefs here, they were also extremely delicious.
After the old dean Pan finished talking about Pan Ruoming, the newcomer, he pulled Jiang Hua and talked about Lin Zeng.
"Mr. Lin has an excellent temperament and a kind heart, and the children in the welfare home have grown up nourishing this year thanks to him. There was meat, fruit, fresh vegetables, and milk, and I didn't know how to say how to thank them. As he spoke, Dean Pan's eyes moistened, and he smiled contentedly.
Lin was praised by her, and the old face didn't know where to put it.
Facing the curious eyes of the table, the roots of his ears turned red, and he could only desperately serve vegetables to Jiang Hua and Dean Pan.
When Pan Ruoming took Feng Yanming to various tables to toast, Lin Zeng was relieved from the praise that Old Dean Pan couldn't stop.
The life of a woman, from the old man to the praying mantis, is simply stored in a warehouse, and when it shakes out, it can drown people.
Fortunately, our painting sister seems to have too many interesting hobbies in this warehouse, and her speech is much more neat.
Lin Zeng hurriedly raised his glass, thinking with tears streaming down his face.
Well?
Lin Zeng stared at the wine glass that Feng Yan Ming respected, and raised his eyelids to look at this kid with a smile on his face.
Two glasses of wine in front of you.
A glass of purple, pure red wine, from his wine valley, has been purified by crystal bottle grass, and the alcohol content is much higher than that of ordinary fruit wine, about 30 degrees.
A glass of slightly amber that looked like some kind of foreign dry white wine, in fact, Lin Zeng, who had a keen sense of smell, had already discovered that it was actually a pear wine with a lower degree than beer, which also came from his wine valley.
The front cup is in Sister Pan's hand.
A cup in the back was held by Feng Yanming.
Well, why did he have a feeling that he was not at all surprised.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, come on, come on, I'll toast you. Feng Yanming was the first to salute Dean Pan, and then raised his glass to meet Lin Zeng, "Brother Lin, you are the big matchmaker between me and Sister Pan, without you, I don't dare to expect this day." ”
Lin Zeng glanced at the pear wine with no degree, reluctantly touched the wall of the cup with him, and said: "Remember to be very good to Sister Pan, the housework is all-inclusive, and the kitchen belongs to you." ”
"Brother Lin, you don't know it, not only that, but I will also pinch a full set of muscles, clothing matching, pastry baking, moxibustion recuperation, ......"
“……”
Lin Zeng glanced at Jiang Hua, hoping she hadn't heard.
Compared with this fan brother, will he be too wasteful?
