Chapter 0085 - Uninvited Guest
The next day, just after breakfast, guests arrived, and my father took Zeng Cheng to receive guests in his yard. Su Yuemei, the woman, followed Zeng Cheng with a smile on her face, as if she didn't know that Zeng Cheng had an opinion on her.
Last night, Zeng Cheng finally had no choice but to sell some rice to the Yuemei Hotel. However, the price he gave was not 100 yuan a catty as Su Yuemei said before, but the lion opened his mouth and directly quoted 200 yuan a catty, and finally came with a sentence Do you like to buy it.
Originally, Zeng Cheng thought that this price could scare off Su Yuemei, after all, this price was already four times that of the most expensive Japanese Koshihikari rice and the top black province Wuchang rice in the world today. Who knew that Su Yuemei was ruthless enough, so she agreed without hesitation, and said that she would buy as much as Zeng Cheng had.
Seeing that her son had reported the price so high, Su Yuemei still wanted to buy it, Zeng Cheng's parents were very happy and said that they would sell all the rice at home to Su Yuemei.
Of course, Zeng Cheng couldn't agree to such a ridiculous thing, and in the end he only agreed to sell 10,000 catties to Su Yuemei. In any case, the rice that my family eats next year will be kept.
Being able to knock out 10,000 catties of rice from Zeng Cheng's mouth, Su Yuemei was already very happy. immediately called Zhang Shulin, who was far away in Chongqing, and transferred 2 million to Zeng Cheng's account, saying that it was in case he regretted it.
Su Yuemei's thought was very simple, even if she bought it from Zeng Cheng at a higher price, she could sell the rice at a higher price.
Zeng Cheng's parents and two sisters saw that in such a short period of time, they earned two million, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. But when they came back to their senses, they couldn't wait for Zeng Cheng to sell all the remaining 4,000 catties of rice in the house to Su Yuemei. Two hundred yuan a catty, your own rice, one catty can buy two or three hundred catties of other rice.
But at this time, Zeng Cheng refused to let go, he was used to eating this kind of rice with aura, and Zeng Cheng didn't want to eat ordinary rice anymore. Now he is not short of money, and naturally he will not abuse his stomach.
Everyone saw that Zeng Cheng never let go of his mouth, and they could only admit this fact.
There were more and more guests, and Zeng Cheng found that his previous estimate was probably too conservative. Even according to the maximum estimate of 120 tables, it would not be enough to arrange the next guests, because many people who had not moved around each other at all before, but only knew each other, also came to Zeng's house to congratulate them.
Zeng Cheng estimated that according to this trend, one hundred and fifty tables would not be able to hold it.
As a result, all previous plans had to be overturned.
In desperation, Zeng Cheng had no choice but to find his second brother-in-law, who had just rushed back, to go into the city to buy cigarettes and alcohol, aquatic products, and some vegetables that were not available at home. At the same time, he called the village butcher and slaughtered a big fat pig urgently. The meat of the three fat pigs slaughtered at home before was simply not enough.
Because in recent months, Zeng Cheng's family has fed pigs food and water containing aura, and even the air is rich in aura, so Zeng Cheng's pigs have grown very quickly, and the big fat pigs that were originally planned to stay for the New Year have a gross weight of more than 400 catties. It was originally planned to be kept for slaughter next spring, and now the gross weight is nearly 200 catties.
There are exactly four big fat pigs. The original plan was to enter the new house this time to slaughter three heads, and leave one head to kill again for the New Year. But the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and the four big fat pigs had to be killed all this time when they entered the new house.
However, there is no need to worry about the New Year's Eve without fat pigs to kill, I believe that those slightly smaller pigs, left for the New Year, have grown into a big fat pig with a gross weight of four or five hundred pounds, and can be killed for the New Year.
Because there were too many guests, the start time of the flowing water banquet had to be brought forward. Zeng Cheng decided to advance the originally planned opening time from half past eleven to eleven o'clock.
Even so, time is a bit tight. Even if the flowing water banquet is held in 40 minutes, a round of 25 tables, and a round of 150 tables and six rounds, the banquet must continue until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon. And I don't know if the six rounds can be arranged in the end. If there is any exceedance, this time will have to be delayed.
Just as the banquet was about to start, several unexpected guests came one after another.
The first to arrive was the seventeenth uncle Zeng Chuihang, because of his special status, Zeng Cheng only formally told him about his family going to the new house, and did not hope that he would come. Unexpectedly, at the time when the banquet was about to start at eleven o'clock, he drove in person.
And the one who came immediately after him was his eldest cousin Cheng Guang. Zeng Cheng didn't expect that he could come, just like Uncle Seventeen, after all, as the chief housekeeper of the district government, there are more things to do in one day than Uncle Seventeen, and the possibility of coming is even less.
If Zeng Cheng was still mentally prepared for the arrival of these two guests, then Zeng Cheng didn't think about the next few guests.
It's not that the identities of these guests are more noble than Uncle Seventeen and the eldest cousin, but Zeng Cheng had no intersection with them before, and even Zeng Cheng's parents had no intersection with them. These guests were none other than Ren Dali, the head of Jiuli Township, Xu Dengkui, the deputy head of the township in charge of agriculture, and Deng Jie, the director of the township government office.
With so many distinguished guests coming in a row, the previous plan had to be changed. Zeng Cheng accompanied these people to talk, asked his father to go into the villa, apologized to the few guests who arranged to eat in the villa, and asked them to move back.
Fortunately, these guests are not outsiders, they are all close elders, who understand Zeng Cheng's family very well, and promised to let these VIPs eat first, and then move back.
After his father arranged it inside, Zeng Cheng took these guests into the gate of the villa and prepared to eat.
When he entered the door, the village chief Cheng Huangmin pulled Zeng Cheng's sleeve and motioned him to wait.
Zeng Cheng was a little surprised, but he still unconsciously lagged behind, this village chief is Zeng Cheng's grandfather's generation, he is not bad, and his relationship with Zeng Cheng's family is not bad. Since he has something to find himself, he must have his reasons.
After the others went in first, Zeng Chengcai asked in a low voice, "What is the matter?" ”
Ga Ga is the name of the local grandfather in Jiuli Township, just like Ga Po is the name of the grandmother.
Cheng Huangmin saw that the others had already entered, so he said a little anxiously: "The matter is not clear in a few words, I just knew, I don't have time to talk to you in detail." But no matter what happens for a while, please be sure to calm down. Okay, I'll go first. Remember, be sure to hold your breath. ”
Regarding Cheng Huangmin's somewhat headless words, Zeng Cheng was very puzzled and didn't know what he meant. But seeing that everyone was already seated, Zeng Cheng had no choice but to hurry over, and he still had to accompany the guests.
