According to the practice of holding a banquet in southern Xiangnan, there are eight people at one table, and when these twenty or so people sit at Zhang Chu's house, there will be three or four tables, so Mr. Liu will ask like this. They used to eat for the purpose of seeing and shopping.

"It's okay to eat, and it's okay to have another twenty. If I want to buy New Year's goods, I have to ask my mother, I don't know much about things at home, and I will reply to you later. ”

The new house built by me is big enough and spacious enough to set up a dozen or so tables. It's just a little troublesome when cooking, but it just so happens that Lu Xiaomao is also back, and tomorrow he will ask him to do his family a favor, and he will be in charge of the kitchen.

When Zhang Yong got married, the chef was also Lu Xiaomao. The people who came to the banquet praised them after eating, feeling that this chef who had come back from outside was different, with all the color, flavor and taste.

After chatting with Mr. Liu for a while, Zhang Chu told his mother about it. When Zhang's mother heard that so many people would come to the house tomorrow, she was immediately dumbfounded.

Especially these people are all people who do big business in the south, and even some are mayors, this scale is not ordinary, she can't usually see it.

Originally, she was still thinking about Zhang Chu's blind date, but she couldn't take care of it when Zhang Chu interrupted her like this. How many things to prepare at home, this has to be discussed with Zhang Chu.

There are also those New Year's goods, how many Zhang Chu's mothers have to think about whether they have enough for their own family, and they have to prepare some packaging things. You can't just hold these things, you have to pack them up.

Like meat, fish, chicken, and duck, this is easy to say. They sell pork here by rubbing it directly with straw and passing it through the pigskin. Fish make an opening in their lips and hang them with straw, and chickens and ducks can tie their wings and feet.

But other things, such as sun-dried daylily, eggs, tea oil, these have to be packed with other things. And one person can't give much, only about two or three catties, and there is no more Zhang Chu's family.

"Ask them if they want beef? The family was going to kill one cow, and if they wanted to, they would kill a few more. Next year, your dad is going to raise some sheep, and he says it's very popular in the south. ”

The scalper was bought by Zhang Chu's father and Zhang Chu's uncle with money, and then killed and sold beef during the New Year to earn the difference in price. Zhang Chu's uncle used to do this, and a cow could earn a lot of money.

Zhang Chu's father saw that his family's reservoir wasteland was big enough, so Zhang Chu's uncle cooperated to do this. In this way, he can still eat some beef at home, and Zhang Chu's father is also ready to raise some cattle by himself.

This year's bumper harvest at the reservoir gave him a lot of confidence, so he became more and more interested in these things. Dad Zhang is in his forties now, and he can still be busy, so he also wants to raise it, and he also wants to raise it.

For this, Zhang Chu didn't care, just tossed with him. If you can't toss, just spend money to ask someone to help, as long as his father doesn't mess around, so it saves him from having trouble with Zhang's mother.

The mother and son discussed it, but fortunately, there are a lot of things at home this year, and those people came to buy New Year's goods. Zhang Chu called back to Mr. Liu, and he was very happy after hearing it.

The meat quality of the cattle is good, and it is more expensive than the buffalo meat sold by Zhang Chu's family, and it doesn't matter to ordinary people, and the owner of the family may not be willing to sell it. As soon as Mr. Liu heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately said that he wanted it.

In the middle of the year, Zhang Chu brought some of his fellow villagers things from his home, very practical things, and the taste was also good, which was reassuring. So they are too lazy to buy those things that they don't worry about during the New Year, just come to Zhang Chu's house to mention it.

The next day, on the twenty-eighth day of the new year, Zhang Chu was going to the city in the afternoon, and their junior high school classmates were going to have a class reunion. This time was roughly discussed, and most of the people went home by this time.

Mr. Liu and the others came very early, and more than 20 people drove more than 10 cars to form a convoy to drive to Zhang Chu's house. So that those who come and go can't help but look at it.

This scale only existed when Zhang Yong got married, and he had never seen it before in Zhang Chu's family. Some children in the village gathered around curiously and watched the people getting out of the car.

Mayor Huang and Chairman Lei walked in the front, and there was no need for Zhang Chu to say that after they arrived in the town, they saw the two houses here and drove over directly.

Mayor Huang didn't come alone, there was a girl next to him. Zhang Chu was stunned when he saw the girl, it turned out to be Huang Yan!

Zhang Yan on the side also saw Huang Yan, the corners of her mouth curved, and she whispered in front of Zhang's mother. After listening to Zhang Yan's words, Zhang's mother deliberately glanced at Huang Yan, but she didn't say much.

Zhang Chu was slightly stunned, and immediately greeted them. Greet them for tea first, the people who kill pigs and cattle on the other side of the reservoir are busy, in addition to these people, there are also many people nearby.

"Let's stop drinking tea for now, let's look at things. It's good to count after reading things, otherwise there are so many people, and your family won't be busy today. ”

Mayor Huang couldn't see the appearance of an official at this time, just like ordinary people. This reminded Zhang Chu of what Chairman Lei said, saying that Mayor Huang doesn't like to put on a show, and he doesn't stretch out his hands very much.

Now, it seems, it is. Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed President Lei and them to Zhang Chu's house, he just had to call Zhang Chu, and Zhang Chu would have no problem sending him over, and he wouldn't have to spend money.

"Then let's go to the reservoir and catch the fish when we leave. If you want chickens and ducks, you can catch them yourself, and you want that one to catch that. Let's choose the pork and beef yourself, and take that part if you want it. ”

Other people also mean the same thing, this is the New Year, every household is busy preparing for the New Year, and they naturally won't delay much time.

Tea oil and other things, Zhang Chu's mother directly divided them and packed them, and they just carried them back when the time came. In addition to daylily, tea oil, there are also some dried fish and shrimp.

"I heard my uncle say that I went to Zhang Chu's house, and it happened that my family also needed some New Year's goods, so I came over to have a look. It turned out that I really came to your house, I thought it was the same name. ”

When they went to the reservoir together, Huang Yan found an opportunity and walked up to Zhang Chu and smiled. The two of them really said hello before, and they didn't have a deep chat.

"Aren't you doing a lot of business outside, why are you still doing this at home?"

"My parents did it, and I just gave them some money and some advice. I don't spend most of the year at home, and I can't do any of these things. ”

After glancing at this girl, Zhang Chu replied stubbornly. This has come to his own house, Zhang Chu can't be too rusty. Let's deal with it first, and we'll talk about what happens later.
