The banquet of the new house was placed in the courtyard of the Shen house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Danyao and the others got up before dawn to get busy, because of the banquet, Shen Leshan and Wuxian didn't go out, and both of them asked for leave to help at home.
And the few families invited by the Shen family to help also came at dawn, and Shen Sihai was the first to arrive.
followed by Wang Erni's family, Yunwa's family, Dachun's family, Xinghua's family, and Mrs. Zhang's family.
They didn't talk nonsense when they came, they just started and started to help.
The fire that started the fire, the water that fetched the water, the chicken who killed the chicken, the vegetable picker, everyone was not idle.
Of course, they won't just work hard, but a few families get together to chat, talk and laugh, talk about recent gossip or something, but it's a little more fun.
As for Yu Jingchen's side, as half of the owners of the new house with the Shen family, he also brought someone over to help early.
To be honest, the people he arranged were quite thoughtful, and before Shen Danyao could think of it, he had sent someone to move the tables and chairs, dishes and chopsticks, cleaning basins, etc., and put them in the right places.
In addition, it was said before that Shen Danyao was mainly responsible for the things on the stove, and the cooks and mothers-in-law sent by Yu Jingchen to help obeyed Shen Danyao's dispatch one by one, without Shen Danyao's orders, no one dared to come forward and make an assertion.
Shen Danyao felt that Yu Jingchen did have a way of controlling people, look at these subordinates, these servants, all of them are well-trained, their words and deeds are quite orderly, but they really have some ability.
Of course, with the help of the cooks and mothers-in-law sent by Yu Jingchen, Shen Danyao's efficiency was much higher.
She doesn't have to worry about chopping, side dishes, ingredients, decoration, carving, serving and other work, she only needs to be responsible for cooking.
And the busy ones were busy until noon unconsciously, and at this time, the invited guests came to Shen Mansion one after another.
Shen Leshan and Shen Lechi accompanied their second uncle without a trace, and Yu Jingchen, who was half the master, greeted those guests at the door.
This time, the guests who arrived were eye-opening for the villagers of Shenjia Village.
First, the village head, Li Zheng prepared a generous gift, and then the county magistrate of Wuxi County accompanied the master to prepare a big gift.
Then there was Han Mochi, the eldest son of Han Mansion, and his mentor, and Xue Baiyi, who was also Shen Leshan's mentor, came with a generous gift.
Shen Leshan was really a little surprised by the arrival of his mentor Xue Baiyi.
However, after noticing the details, he soon discovered the eye contact between his mentor and his neighbor Jing Gongzi.
It seems that they know each other.
This realization made Shen Leshan suddenly understand one thing.
He was able to enter Qingfeng Academy and become Xue Baiyi's disciple, thinking that it was not the relationship between the second uncle at all, but the connections of this Jing Gongzi.
At the moment, although he didn't know what this Jing Gongzi had for their Shen family, at present, he had no ill will towards their family.
As long as he knew this, Shen Leshan would no longer delve into anything.
There are some things that he knows very well, and it may not be good to dig deeper.
When people should pretend to be confused, turn a blind eye.
Thinking about it, he didn't say anything, smiled and thanked his teacher, thanked Han Mochi, and politely and thoughtfully took the two of them to the table.
That Yu Jingchen looked at Shen Leshan's posture, and smiled slightly at the corner of his lips.
It seems that he got Sun Qizhi into Qingfeng Academy, and using him as Shen Leshan's whetstone has worked.
In this life, Shen Leshan should no longer be as innocent and innocent as in his previous life, and he will not let the little girl worry too much when he steps into officialdom in the future, and he will worry about her as an upright big brother all day long.
However, although the eldest brother of the little girl has changed, which is a good thing, her second brother seems to be more troublesome.
A guy with a tendon, a simple mind and well-developed limbs, what should I do with him?
He had to think about it, after all, he couldn't let the little girl worry about her second brother for the rest of his life.
Yu Jingchen was planning how to train Shen Lechi, and Shen Lechi, who was facing the guests, suddenly felt a chill.
He couldn't help but shrink his neck.
It's a bit cold.
Of course, this feeling was soon thrown out of his mind, and his eyes were all fixed on the banquet.
At this time, there were fifteen tables lined up in the courtyard, and twelve tables were already full, and there were three tables reserved for help, but it was estimated that it was almost the same.
And on each table, the hot dishes have not yet been served, and the cold dishes have long been placed on the table.
There are eight cold dishes, namely osmanthus salted duck, pickled pepper phoenix feet, five-spice sauce beef, cold salad kelp shreds, fried small sweetfish, secret soy sauce peanuts, fried chicken meatballs, and drunken dates.
Also, a pot of rice wine and a pot of white wine.
Originally, Shen Danyao was still preparing a pot of red wine, but to make red wine, he had to take out the grapes.
And at this time, grapes should not appear, so Shen Danyao didn't think about preparing red wine.
However, she put a pot of milk on each table, which was for women and children.
And this milk that was disposed of by her with a fishy smell was rushed by children from the beginning when no one moved the cup to the end.
Fortunately, Shen Danyao prepared a lot, enough for them to drink.
Of course, now that the guests have been served, the hot dishes will be served one by one.
The mother-in-law who serves the dish will also report the name of the dish when it is served.
"Ten fragrances."
The so-called ten spiced ruyi is a dish made of ten kinds of ingredients, including winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, white radish, enoki mushrooms, soybean sprouts, dried beans, green peppers, carrots, kelp, and lettuce.
"It's all smooth sailing."
The so-called smooth sailing is a dish made of sea cucumber, yam, pork, ginger and green onions.
"There are fish every year."
The so-called annual fish is a dish made of a large yellow croaker with winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, ginger and shallots and other condiments.
"The hall is full of gold and jade, rising step by step, Danyang Chaofeng, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, lotus seeds are round, flowers are clustered, and Shoubi Nanshan."
Ten hot dishes that imply perfection.
After the mother-in-law who served the dish finished reporting the name of the dish, Shen Danyao finally instructed the mother-in-law to serve two plates of dim sum.
A plate of crystal steamed dumplings, a plate of red bean cake rolls.
Then, Shen Danyao also arranged for them to sit down for dinner.
At this time, although Xue Baiyi, the head of Qingfeng Academy, was here, Han Dagongzi was there, and Wuxi County's county commander was there, the villagers could not hide their surprise, and they immediately talked about it, and they exchanged their heads and ears.
They have rarely seen so many dishes at the village banquet, and they have never heard of these beautiful names.
Even Xue Baiyi and Han Mochi were a little surprised to hear such a dish when they saw such a dish here.
Especially the red bean cake roll at the end, this dim sum, they have never seen it, let alone the villagers of Shenjia Village.
At this time, they only have those dishes in their eyes, and they keep swallowing their saliva.
The chopsticks in their hands moved almost at the same time.
They eat very fast, for fear that if they eat slowly, they will eat less.
For a while, only the sound of chopsticks and eating food could be heard at the dinner table.
And Rao is Yu Jingchen, who has already prepared in his heart, saw Shen Danyao cook such a table of dishes and make snacks that he had never eaten, and there were still traces in his indifferent eyes.
It turned out that he didn't know enough.
