Chapter 139 The Luo family held a banquet

Old Man Luo: "Do things tomorrow, this is a big deal, you have to give me some care, don't stumble." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Then he said, "I estimated just now that there should be a lot of people coming tomorrow, so I will prepare for ten tables." I'd rather have more dishes leftovers than less preparations, which makes people laugh. ”

Here, the management of red and white ceremonies is called doing things. Under normal circumstances, when preparing a banquet, the host will estimate how many guests can come, and make an extra table or two for the banquet in case of emergency. Otherwise, there will be more guests than expected, but there will be no banquet for people to eat. It's not good for the reputation of the owner's family to spread it, and maybe it will end up with a stingy and quite embarrassing thing.

Luo Youxiao also smiled and said: "Dad, the literary name Zhongxiu is a great joy for our family, and this is also the first time we have held a banquet in the village, not only for the literary name, but also for our Luo family, this banquet has to be done well." ”

"I know, if you want me to say, let's do twenty-eight seats. Spend a little more and be decent when the time comes. ”

Twenty-eight seats are eight plates and eight bowls. Among all the banquets in the village, it can be regarded as a first-class banquet. Twenty-eight out of ten tables are to be made. But it costs a lot of silver. However, the Qin family did not save less money in his hands. Luo Ran still remembered that there must have been a lot of windfall of dozens of taels of silver on the way to escape, and the Qin family had controlled the Luo family's financial power before, and there was also a lot of silver.

"After the name of the article, it will be Xiucai. If you want me to say, you should have a running water banquet with three meals and three copies. That's enough to save face. These twenty-eight seats are too aggrieved. Hey, it would have been better if my father and mother had come up with more silver. Luo Youfu said.

Luo Youxiao listened to Luo Youfu's words, although he didn't nod, but his face showed a useful expression, obviously they felt that Luo Youfu was right.

Old Man Luo: "Twenty-eight seats are enough." In the future, the name of the article will go further, and we will do a better job when the time comes. When Old Man Luo said this, he thought about that scene in his heart, and he was in a better mood. Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with my persistence over the years.

He also instructed the Qin family to hurry up and let a few daughters-in-law buy vegetables and meat to kill chickens, and asked people to invite Chef Liu from a nearby village to come over and cook a banquet.

Rural people hold banquets, and they can't afford to hire a master chef in a restaurant, and they don't know from what year and month they have had a kind of chef who specializes in helping people make banquets. Most of these chefs have apprenticeship experience in restaurants, and some are completely self-taught. No matter which one it is, if you can make a reputation, and someone invites you everywhere, it is all genuine.

This Chef Liu is like this. Some people in villages near and far do things, and most of them invite him to run the banquet, trying to save him cooking and save materials, and the money he collects is not much, but the food he makes is very in line with the taste of the villagers, and the banquet noodles are also decent.

Old Man Luo said again: "By the way, we have to build a few more big stoves and build a shed today." Second, you're good at building a stove, and you'll write a few of your brothers in a while. ”

Luo Youli nodded.

Old Man Luo said again: "Ming is still relatively busy, and the second family also brought a few children to help." ”

Zheng also responded. Usually, the Qin family's various unreasonable demands, Luo Ran's consistent attitude is to ignore them. Today, Luo Wen's name is a great event for the Luo family, and helping the handle is nothing, so he readily agreed.

According to the custom, the chefs who run the banquet are all single, and they are only responsible for stir-frying, washing, picking, and cutting vegetables, and other tasks need to be done by the host's family.

Zheng's hands and feet are diligent and clean, and he is used to doing this.

There are still a lot of things waiting for the family, so the Zheng family led Luo Ran home, leaving Luo Youli to help build the stove.

Luo Youli didn't come back until the evening.

"Why did you come back so late? I'll keep the food and give it to you hot. Zheng said and went to heat the rice.

"Dad stayed to eat, I didn't want to eat there, I wanted to come back, but Dad was happy today, so I had to stay. I'll eat some later. Luo Youli said.

Zheng: "Is this not full?" ”

"I just didn't feel very strong, so I didn't eat much and came back."

Luo Ran: "Dad, did grandma say something again?" ”

Luo Youli just knew that his little daughter was smart, so he touched his nose and said, "Your grandmother is like that." Anyway, I don't say anything, just listen. ”

Dad has also learned to be smart, Luo Ran couldn't help but snicker, and quickly turned around and went to the study.

Before breakfast early the next morning, Old Man Luo asked Luo Youfu to call Luo Ran's family for help.

Many dishes for doing things in the countryside must be prepared in advance, so that the banquet can be arranged on time at that time. For example, the meatballs must be fried in advance, and the meat and some stir-fried vegetables must also be oiled a day in advance, that is, they are half-cooked, and then steamed and fried in the pot before the feast, and they can be served on the table, and it does not affect the deliciousness of the dishes at all.

So the daughters-in-law of the Luo family began to prepare all kinds of things.

Seeing that the time was not early, Zhao and Liu made breakfast. Mixed rice and stewed tofu, a pot of stir-fried bean sprouts, the dish is simple, but the portion is full.

Old Man Luo said that it was like when the family was not separated, and the family ate together.

Luo Youli Zheng responded with a smile. Although the Qin family still didn't give a good face during the meal, the Zheng family had a lot more confidence in being at home for such a long time, and they didn't want the Qin family to care, so they didn't see or hear.

After breakfast, many daughters-in-law from the village came to help.

If the people in the countryside are too busy to do things, they need a lot of people to help, and there are people who get along well with them who will come to help, which is called busyness. When a family does things, the more people come to get busy, it means that the family has a good relationship and has more face in front of others.

Not to mention the relationship between the Luo family and other people in Xinzhuang Village, let's just say that Luo Wenming won Xiucai in this matter, and he will have a future in the future, and he went to Xiucai's house to help, and it was decent to say it, so there were still a lot of people who came to be busy.

Everyone was busy. Luo Youfu took a few children and a few young people from the village to help, and pulled the borrowed tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks. Zheng, Liu and several young daughters-in-law are responsible for helping Chef Liu, that is, picking and cutting vegetables.

Most of the people who can come to work are diligent, clean and neat, and cheerful young daughters-in-law, and everyone chats with each other while working. Most of the words are short-lived. The whole thing is the kind where the mouth doesn't stop and the hands don't stop.

Chef Liu rolled up his sleeves and was mixing the noodles and fillings of croquettes.

The courtyard was full of people and laughter. It was the first time for Luo Ran to see the Luo family doing things, and he was very curious, so he also pulled Wensheng to join in the fun. I didn't ask Wenxuan to ask for leave, so I didn't come over. When Old Man Luo asked, Luo Ran found a reason to answer. (To be continued.) )
