Chapter 176: Preparation for the Banquet (continued)

The winter in the north is dry and cold, and the howling northwest wind hits the face, as if it has been scraped by a knife. Especially the wind in sunny weather carries a chill that makes people cold to the bottom of their hearts.

The sun had risen high, and the whole village had long since awakened from its slumber. Industrious people always get up at dawn to boil water for cooking and feed their poultry.

Puffs of cooking smoke wafted in the air, enveloping the entire village like a light veil, making you unable to see clearly from a distance, with a natural sense of mystery.

In the northern countryside, there is no one to sleep in. Because the weather is too cold in winter, there is no way to survive the winter if there is no big kang in the empty house.

And because of the constraints of economic conditions, people who are reluctant to turn the heating at all, no matter how much they burn the kang, the house is always cold, people sit in the house, if they don't go to the kang, then they have to be fully armed with cotton clothes and cotton pants.

However, this situation is different in Wangjiazhuang.

Because the pipeline laying and equipment commissioning were completed ahead of schedule, Wangjiazhuang has enjoyed the same 24-hour heating as the people in the city when it is about to end this winter.

The small boilers that each family originally bought for themselves were either dismantled, thrown aside and discarded, or given to relatives and friends in other villages.

The biggest advantage of central heating is that you don't have to stare at the fire yourself to enjoy 24-hour uninterrupted heating, and the radiators at home are hot all the time.

Everyone no longer has to be fully armed when they stay in the house, and they can't stand the heat in a cotton coat. Many people take off their thick cotton clothes at home and only wear a pair of autumn clothes and pants, especially the bear children at home, who are angry and proud every time they shout that they can't take it away from the heat.

Today is the day when Mrs. Ye feasts guests, Wang Hai's family got up early in the morning and came to Mrs. Ye through a moon gate.

The Ye family, who also got up early, had already freshened up and dressed up. I started to help the cook make breakfast.

"How is it, is this big kang still in the habit of sleeping? Didn't get the ass balls, did you? ”

Wang Hai faced Ye Baoguo, a big leader at the vice-national level, without any restraint, the two families have been dealing with each other for a long time, and they can't be familiar anymore. No, as soon as they met, Wang Hai made a joke about Ye Baoguo.

The status of a big leader at the level of Ye Baoguo is now. It is absolutely too rare to dare to joke with him so unscrupulously, or even make fun of him, and even say that it is unique.

Wang Hai's appearance gave him a little more warmth. At least in Wang Hai's mind, at this time, he was not a general with military power, but only his eldest brother.

"When Lao Tzu first joined the army, he was on the northeast border, why didn't he suffer? Not to mention sleeping on the hot kang burning, thinking about the past. When on a stealth mission at the border. ”

"What?"

Wang Liang suddenly burst out with a sentence, staring at this uncle who had only met once with shining eyes, and asked without the slightest sense of strangeness.

"Hey, your kid is still young, when you grow up, my uncle will take you to see what ice and snow are! The snow can reach people's waists! ”

As he spoke, he gestured at his waist. At the same time, he gestured to Wang Liang again. Immediately, Wang Liang was frightened. Just kidding, Ye Baoguo's waist position is almost beyond his height.

"At that time, the latent son was on the border. It's a few hours in the snow! Imagine that such deep snow can bury people! ”

When Wang Yong heard this, he paused for a moment, and then immediately pouted and rolled his eyes at Ye Baoguo.

You're blowing too much, aren't you?

Then the snow fell to the ground. What else can you see? It's been buried in the snow a long time ago. How many hours is still lying on the ground? I'm afraid I'll have to freeze you into an ice sculpture when I dig you out!

"Uncle, you're bragging!"

Wang Liang, the little ghost, is not so easy to fool, he directly stuck out his tongue at Ye Baoguo and made a grimace, which made Ye Baoguo "furious", and as soon as he caught him, he began to tickle him.

Wang Liang, who couldn't stand the tickling and torture, immediately began to say good things and beg for mercy without a position, but Ye Baoguo didn't plan to let him go like this.

In the end, Mrs. Ye heard the movement and came out. can be regarded as rescuing Wang Liang, a pitiful little man. provoked Wang Liang to complain to the old lady about Ye Baoguo's atrocities, and asked his grandmother to help him avenge his hatred.

The two families are really like a family, without any barriers, laughing and playing after breakfast, they began to entertain the villagers who came to help one after another.

Because he had already considered the possibility of windy conditions, Wang Hai deliberately went to the city and borrowed more than a dozen large military tents by virtue of his good relationship with the troops stationed in Hong Kong.

These large tents, which are used as command centers or conference rooms, can hold six or seven large round tables after each one is erected.

This kind of big tent that can shelter from the wind and rain immediately joined the attention of Chen Kuiliang, the person in charge of the village wedding company, and now the Wangjiazhuang wedding company has become quite famous in the whole Hong Kong city because of its thoughtful service and inexpensive price.

Especially in the past six months, wedding photos, wedding ceremonies, wedding car rentals, bridal makeup and other businesses have been doing well, and even many newlyweds in the city have come to them for marriage.

Especially for wedding photos, as the only professional wedding company in the city that can provide professional wedding art photography and provide rental services for dozens of various wedding dresses, this business has long been busy.

"Erhai, can you help me get a few big tents like you? We have just developed a new business, renting cutlery, and providing private table service. If you can have this kind of big tent, then you don't have to worry about having no place to put tables and chairs. ”

"You can really think about it! But it's not a big problem, you can take it away directly when I go back! ”

"Is this good? Is this an army thing? ”

"You can use it, and I'll take care of it."

After speaking, Wang Hai saw that another truck that went to the county to buy various ingredients and seasonings came back, so he immediately threw down Chen Kuiliang and greeted him.

"Hurry up, you're all left. Tell me why you guys are so abrasive? It's been more than an hour since they came back, and you've just arrived? ”

"Conscience of heaven and earth, second uncle! How many things did they buy? Look at the list in my hand, I have written two big articles! They were good, and directly pulled two pigs and more than a hundred chickens. More than a hundred fish and that's it! ”

Before the car stopped, a young man in his thirties sitting in the co-pilot held up two densely written pieces of paper in his hand and looked at Wang Hai very aggrievedly.

"Okay, okay, your uncle has wronged you, do you want me to bow to you and apologize?"

Speaking of this, Wang Hai really had to bend down and salute. The young man in the terrible car was frightened, opened the car door and jumped down to support Wang Hai, and said with a crying voice.

"Second uncle. Spare me! Am I wrong? ”

"I know what to do if I am wrong, hurry up and unload the car and go to dinner!"

Mrs. Ye's big courtyard has eight rooms in the main house alone, and the gatehouse and the west wing room together also have an area of three rooms. At the same time, the large courtyard in the middle is really not small, and it is estimated that it can be 145 square meters.

Now in the whole courtyard, there are twelve large iron stoves in the first class, and the three most famous masters in the neighborhood are each looking at the four pots, and they are busy in full swing.

"I said Old Lou. You'll have to show your housekeeping skills this time, if you don't do it well. In the future, you won't have the face to come to Vaughn Wangjiazhuang again! ”

Wang Hai turned his head to a master who was holding a big spoon and preparing to make fish. His words immediately made Lao Lu's face change, and his face was as white as a blank piece of paper.

"I said Boss Wang, what did you say, don't you know who my old Lu is?"

"Who are you old Lou?"

Another master next to him came with a smile, saying that their peers were enemies, and they were the best country banquet chefs in the neighborhood. Naturally, it is inevitable that peers will be light. No, this one began to fall into the well as soon as he seized the opportunity.

"Old pick!"

Several of the women in Wangjiazhuang who were helping around shouted almost in unison, which suddenly made Lao Lu blush again.

"Hey! I said, what are you doing here, why do you want to bully my brother-in-law, right? Boss, where did you die? Didn't you see someone bullying our brother-in-law? ”

Wang Yong's neighbor Chen Kuisheng's wife Tian Guihua shouted at the top of her voice. All of a sudden, everyone burst into laughter.

Chef Lao Lu's slamming of the door is well-known in these dozen villages nearby, and it is said that their family never buys meat or fish during the Chinese New Year. The year before the year is the peak of all kinds of feasts, especially wedding feasts.

He is good at craftsmanship and can help the owner's family save money, so he often does business one after another.

Every time they finished their work, in addition to their wages, the host would give them some leftovers.

In the countryside, after a feast, take home a leftovers, which is a treatment that only the guests with the best relationship with the host's family can enjoy.

Not being able to eat and walking around is not an uncommon thing in the countryside. Farmers who have been living a hard life since they were children, and who rarely have access to any oil and water, are not easy to get a good meal!

At this time, if the host is face-saving or very satisfied with his craftsmanship, he will often give him the whole fish and chicken that have been prepared and not used.

Therefore, there is never a shortage of delicious food in his family all year round, and he never has to spend his own money to buy fish and meat, etc., and the host's family is enough for their family of four to eat.

"Old Lu, let's say okay, today I will prepare according to a hundred tables, if you can't use it up, the rest of the things, you three will look at it!" Speaking of this, Wang Haiyou hurriedly added: "Of course, yours is going to satisfy everyone, and if there is one person who is not satisfied, it will not work!" ”

"Just look! My old Lu's craftsmanship, you can put a hundred hearts! ”

"Boss Wang's atmosphere!"

"Atmosphere!" (To be continued......)
