Round 14: Food Extravaganza (2)
When the greenhouse is busy, the front lawn of the house is even more lively.
As Feng Ming's veritable dock bearer, Chen Hanzhong's connections are so wide and his prestige is so high, today is his birthday, and there is no doubt that there are many guests.
Relatives, friends, neighbors, road partners, people who are mixed up in the rivers and lakes, government workers, whether the friendship is deep or shallow, in short, there are a lot of people who come.
Ordinary people set up a birthday banquet, and there are only a dozen tables, but the scene in the flat at this moment is really terrifying, at least a hundred tables are the base.
At this moment, it is almost the time of the banquet, all the tables are full of people, and all the guests are shocked and sighing when they look at this formation, and sigh that Chen Hanzhong is better than the cow, and if you can eat openly, the characters are the characters.
In the middle of the shop, the top seat is naturally sitting today's birthday star Chen Hanzhong.
There were seven people at the same table with him, and needless to say, these people were either special in status, or had enough weight, or had an unusual relationship with him.
Of these seven people, two on the left are two old men, one is his only living ancestor, his own uncle.
The other is the retired old principal of Fengming Primary School, this eighty-year-old man has an upright temperament and excellent morality, and has dedicated his life to this school, and the peach and plum are all over the world. He taught Chen Hanzhong back then, and later taught Chen Hui and Chen Lu, and also taught Ye Hua, he is definitely qualified to sit here.
On the right are two people of the same age as Chen Hanzhong, Ye Hua knows them, they are Chen Hanzhong's brothers, they are all shining figures, but their territory is not in Fengming.
Sitting opposite is the first or second in command of the town, and all the public servants in the town are here today, but these two are qualified to sit at this table.
Today's table is the focus of everyone's attention, and the most concerned position at this table is the one next to Chen Hanzhong, which is on an equal footing with Chen Hanzhong!
The person sitting here is none other than Ye Hua's old son, Ye Qingshan, from which it can be seen what kind of existence Ye Qingshan is in the Chen Han Center, and what kind of status the Ye family is.
Ye Qingshan was very reluctant to sit here, Nima was too eye-catching, he was really a little unaccustomed, but he couldn't resist Chen Hanzhong's persistence, and he even said a sentence that shocked the audience: "Qingshan, if you don't sit in this position, then this table can only be empty." ”
"Who is this?" Everyone who heard this sentence was surprised and puzzled, after all, Ye Qingshan was a small fisherman, and there were too few people in the town who knew him.
"Who is this?" The two people in the town were even more confused, looking at Ye Qingshan, who was dressed plainly and looking like a peasant, and really couldn't understand what this person was about, and let Chen Hanzhong treat him with such high courtesy.
But they won't ask here, it's too rude, anyway, just remember this one, and go back and ask.
"Crackling ......"
Amid a string of firecrackers, the feast officially began.
The person who brought the assistant chef to help Erhan brought the wine to every table early, this is exquisite, or it can be said to be an unwritten rule.
There are three kinds of wine moisture, a bottle of big drink, two bottles of beer, a bottle of liquor, of course, the number can be added, but the variety can not be less, which should take into account the preferences of each guest, some people like white and some people are yellow, and some people do not drink, then drink drinks.
The cooks began to serve cold cuts and fruits.
In Fengming and even northern Hunan or the entire Hunan province, cold dishes are nothing more than spicy or braised vegetables.
Spicy little fish, Feng Naruto's must-serve side dishes for wine.
This is a specialty of Hunan Province, in fact, the most authentic spicy little fish is from northern Xiangbei, which is adjacent to Dongting Lake.
These spicy little fish cubs on the table are freshly made bulk goods bought from the market, and the taste is much better than those packaged, spicy and enjoyable.
The second side dish on this occasion is toothpick beef, which is also freshly made in bulk, which is more enjoyable, spicier and more vigorous to eat, and no one who has eaten it does not miss it.
The third is braised tofu seeds, and the fourth is braised beef tendon, both of which are on point.
In addition, there are two pots of fruit, a pot of cut watermelon and a pot of cherry tomatoes.
"Four cold cuts, two pots of fruits, the average person only has two cold dishes and one fruit, tsk, Chen Hanzhong is Chen Hanzhong, atmospheric!
"These cold cuts and fruits are all high-quality, and the taste is very good, by the way, who is in charge of the kitchen today?"
"Yes, who's in charge?"
The guests were eating, drinking, admiring and chatting, and the topic of the chef was always the most interesting to the people who ate the banquet, especially today was Chen Hanzhong's birthday.
And after the hors d'oeuvres came up, many tables were talking about this.
"I don't know, I guess it's the chef. "Most people are melon-eating people.
"I heard that it was invited by the county town, and the cooking skills are first-class, and today we are going to have a good time. "Some people take it for granted.
"Then it's cool, Chen Hanzhong's wine is worth it. Many melon eaters were overjoyed when they heard the blind pyridium.
Yes, there are rules for going to a banquet in Fengming, that is, to be favored, that is, to give red envelopes.
Leaving aside the relatives or close friends of the main family, people with special status, just talking about ordinary visitors, in Fengming, they are basically a hundred people. Someone will be responsible for receiving these favors and recording them in the account books, and these masters have to pay them back one by one, which is the so-called exchange of courtesies.
And then like this kind of longevity, the host family in the process of eating the guests is to give gifts of red envelopes, regardless of adults and children, but anyone on the table, each person has a copy.
However, some of them are delivered when the guests are favored, which is also done by shrewd or stingy people, because of a favor, there may be several mouths to eat the banquet.
There are also some people who come in to eat and drink without relatives and for no reason, it is said that there are many such people, Ye Hua used to go to Wu Gangmeng many times when he was in junior high school. At this time, the personnel are mixed, and generally they will not be discovered by the master's family, and even if the master's family is discovered, it will be laughed at, and no one will account for it.
However, there are no absolutes in the world, and there are accidents in everything.
There was once a farce in Guangdong Province.
There was a wedding banquet, in the hotel to set up wine, but also someone to rub, the result of the people at the same table are talking and laughing, but this person is like hungry for three days and three nights, burying his head is hard, and it is difficult to eat.
When the people at the table saw that this man was very out of place, they asked him if he was a relative of the man or the woman, and what kind of relative he was.
This person's experience is obviously insufficient, and he didn't deal with it well, revealing his feet.
The people at the table then called the two newcomers over, and it was fun, and the true form of this person was revealed.
Nima, rubbed on our wedding banquet?
This is also an interesting person for newcomers, and they call the police directly.
Then Uncle Rub came, and the final verdict was that the person who rubbed the food could be exempted from the death penalty, and the living crime could not be escaped, and he would have to pay for it
Real money, real money!
This incident spread on the Internet, and netizens laughed when they saw it.
It's a bit of a stretch, let's get back to the chef topic.
"Chef of wool, I went to the kitchen to see it earlier, and it is Liu Erhan who is in charge of the kitchen today. "There are people who know the truth.
"Isn't it, Liu Erhan takes a spoon?" The melon goods who learned the truth were frightened, Fengming Town is so big, and there are only a few people who cook, besides, who doesn't put wine?
Most people still know each other.
"Really, I'm lying to you about this, it's necessary. Ah, you ask him. The guy who told the truth pouted and pointed to a cook who happened to be serving the dishes.
Everyone hurriedly asked, making sure that Liu Erhan was correct, and immediately everyone's high interest wilted.
"It's over, I'm going to be hungry at noon today, Liu Erhan's craftsmanship is going to choke on a dozen or so tables, these more than 100 tables, damn, don't even think about what shit he will make......
"Yes, why did Chen Hanzhong invite him? Damn, I'd better hurry up and eat more cold fruits. ”
Liu Erhan's cooking was like a gust of wind, and it quickly spread in the pingli, and everyone was surprised and puzzled, and then lamented, and then ate the cold dishes and fruits......
A lot of weird eyes fell on today's protagonist Chen Hanzhong, and he smiled: "Why are you looking at me? Liu Erhan's cooking is not delicious, I think it's delicious, you all have to give me a face, eat more." ”
Looking at this old man who willfully reversed black and white, everyone was directly speechless
The atmosphere of the whole birthday banquet changed at once, some funny, some weird.
