【104】Birthday banquet rush food
Qin Shuang was the first to laugh, and greeted the old man with a happy face: "The old man wants to drink the tofu brain in our village? It just so happens that breakfast hasn't finished yet, so if you want to eat, go to the fast food restaurant for a meal before going to the banquet court. ”
Hearing this, the old man's eyes brightened, and he looked at Qin Shuang and said, "Are you?" ”
Qin Shuang said: "I am one of the bosses of Ruyi Village. ”
Just as he was thinking about introducing Ah Chen, the old man patted his thigh and said to his son next to him: "Son, look at the girls who look like Peugeot!" My little grandson is almost time to get married, what do you think of this girl as my granddaughter-in-law? ”
Son: "......"
Qin Shuang: "......"
Ah Chen's brows jumped, he originally had a smile on his face, but after listening to the old man's words, his face immediately darkened, he pulled his face and took Qin Shuang into his arms, gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, this is my daughter-in-law!" I can't be your granddaughter-in-law! ”
Ah Chen's previous good impression of this old man disappeared with such a sentence! How dare you think about his daughter-in-law!? It's too much to take him seriously!
Xu Hong looked at the old man helplessly and said, "Dad, you heard, this young lady has already married." "This has offended the owner of Ruyi Village before entering the door, can it be good?
The old man said with a regretful face: "Why are you so anxious to get married at such a young age." After speaking, he glanced at Ah Chen critically, pouting and underestimating: "It looks like it's not better than my little grandson, it's cheaper for you." ”
“!”
If Qin Shuang hadn't pulled the person in time, Ah Chen would have almost exploded, what does it mean to be cheap for him? Qin Shuang was originally his daughter-in-law, obviously this old man was whimsical, but he dared to talk nonsense with his eyes open?
Qin Shuang whispered: "The old man is just joking, don't be so serious, they are guests, you can't quarrel with people before they come in." ”
Ah Chen glared aggrievedly: "He actually dares to beat your idea!" ”
Qin Shuang was helpless, "It's just a joke." ”
Xu Hong also heard Ah Chen's words, and hurriedly echoed Qin Shuang's words and explained: "Your wife is right, my father is just talking about playing. ”
Ah Chen looked at Xu Hong with a solemn gaze, grinded his teeth and said, "Can my daughter-in-law talk and play!" ”
"Uh...... That was not what I meant. Xu Hong's face was full of embarrassment, "My youngest son has already been married, and he will be married in two months." ”
Ah Chen's expression changed, first his mood was relieved, and then he was tight, and he looked at Ruyi Zhuang with a curious face, as if he had completely forgotten what he said before, and since he was married, he still said such irresponsible words! This old man can't be Alzheimer's! Or do you want to slap him!?
Ah Chen's gaze was too strong, it was difficult for the old man to ignore it, he turned his head to look at it, and he was also startled, and then looked at the subtle expressions of his son and Qin Shuang, there was also a touch of embarrassment in his eyes, and he muttered in a low voice: "What are you doing so seriously, just talking, and you won't lose the meat, I just thought that if the owner of this Zhuangzi was my granddaughter-in-law, he would be able to make tofu brains for me every day in the future." ”
Qin Shuang looked at the old man who was quite serious in the second half of the sentence speechlessly, and saw that he really thought so, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this will disappoint the old man, Ruyizhuang's special breakfast is not made by me, but by other girls in our kitchen." ”
The old man's eyes lit up again, girl? Just haven't gotten married yet?
"That's—"
"It's just that your grandson, old man, has already married, and you can't want to marry someone from our village anymore."
Xu Hong was afraid that the old man would say something more embarrassing, so he hurriedly helped humanity: "Okay, Dad, it's not early, don't you want to eat the hot breakfast that Ruyizhuang just baked, let's go in quickly?" If it's too late, you won't be able to eat it. ”
How can you do it if you can't eat breakfast, the old man doesn't have the heart to continue talking nonsense, and urges the two words: "Then don't hurry up, don't bother, hurry up and go in, eat!" Today I still want to drink that kind of preserved egg and lean pork porridge, as well as tofu brain, and soy milk is not missing! ”
The old man simply threw aside the 'granddaughter-in-law' and Ah Chen who had just been thinking about him, and started ordering directly as he walked inside, while Xu Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
His old man is good at everything, but he is a little bit of a wind is rain, what to say, I don't know how to think about it, my granddaughter-in-law or something I won't say, people have said that breakfast is not made by her, and she actually has the idea of making breakfast? Fortunately, the youngest son had already been married, otherwise the old man might have asked his youngest son to marry someone back for those delicious breakfasts.
Although their Xu family is only a businessman, it is not very noble, but it is also a relatively famous family in the county, his eldest son is married to the daughter of a rice shop owner in the city, and the second daughter-in-law's family background is not very rich, but it is also considered to be born in a scholarly family, and he is very virtuous and filial to his in-laws.
Their family doesn't have any opinions, and they have to match their family's background to think that they can get married, but at least they have to be innocent and have to be a good citizen, right? The work in Ruyi Village is to sell himself to the owner of Ruyi Village, which is known to many people, and he no longer has a personal opinion, and it is impossible for his son to marry a daughter-in-law who has no free body, right? Even if you redeem the deed of sale in the future and restore your free body, it won't sound good to say it.
What's more, the old man has never even seen people's faces, and he doesn't know his character or age! How dare you think about it!
"I heard it, people are just talking and playing, don't really take it to heart, and be angry with yourself." After everyone in the Xu family went in, Qin Shuang patted Ah Chen's shoulder to reassure.
Ah Chen snorted: "Fortunately, he just said it, otherwise I don't care if he is doing big business in the county, and he will not discuss it directly!" If you dare to worry about your guests, we won't accept them in the future! ”
Qin Shuang felt funny in her heart, but she was more happy that Ah Chen valued her so much, and she didn't blame him for eating flying vinegar, if he waited until one day he would no longer be jealous, she should be worried, although she didn't think that there would be such a day.
"Alright, the guests should be coming soon, let's go in too." The work of greeting the guests did not need to be done by the two of them, and the subordinates were explained, and they and Xuan Shen went to the banquet hall to prepare.
The old man specially asked for a banquet in Ruyi Village is thinking about being able to eat a freshly baked breakfast, today in his own good days can be regarded as wishing, the banquet did not start, and I have eaten a beautiful breakfast and I already feel that it is worth the trip recently!
Xu Hong looked at the old man's satisfied appearance, he really couldn't cry or laugh, and felt that he had really wasted so much effort before, and it was better to let the old man eat Ruyizhuang's meals every day to make the old man happy.
After breakfast, the father and son arrived at the banquet courtyard, and as soon as they walked into the courtyard, their eyes widened in surprise.
I saw that there were a lot of potted plants that could bloom in this season in all corners of the banquet courtyard, and the window flowers were pasted with red Fushou stickers, and the doors of each private room were also written on both sides to show joy and good words and good poems, as Qin Shuang expected, the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Xu family did not have a high level of education and literacy, but they did not understand the poetry and songs of those literati who were vassals and elegant.
But they didn't have any trouble understanding the meaning of the words that Qin Shuang had prepared, and they could see that Ruyizhuang had taken a lot of effort.
The old man is actually very impatient to meet a lot of people he doesn't know much when he celebrates his birthday, noisy and shouting, every time the food eaten on the birthday is almost the same taste, this year is to welcome guests, next year is the spring of the garden, there is a passenger transport before, the son is thinking of giving him the best, but the best restaurant in the county is so three, but the old man will go to eat when he is fine, he has long been tired of eating crookedly, this year not only has a joy building so that he can usually change the taste, but also this Ruyi Village!
The original intention of the old man, who particularly admired the breakfast of Ruyizhuang, decided to hold a banquet here, not to lie, it was really to have a breakfast in person, and it was he who had a birthday, so he couldn't let him come on this day, right? No, he got his way! Not only did he succeed, but he also found that Ruyizhuang was so agreeable in other aspects!
Compared with the Spring of Man Yuan and the kind of welcome guests who basically prepare meals for the guests who set up banquets in their restaurant, the layout in the building is much fresher and looks intimate! Now the old man has a better impression of Ruyizhuang, and he regrets even more that the hostess of Ruyizhuang got married so early!
Xu Hong originally just followed the old man's mind to settle here, in the past let the inn guys run errands to buy breakfast or other fast food, he himself because he is very busy every day, so far this is the first time to come to Ruyizhuang to eat, hearing is false, seeing is believing, it is really true, this Ruyizhuang whether it is the interior decoration or the guy's plain zhì, all kinds of details of the banquet considerations, all make Xu Hong look at Ruyizhuang with admiration.
Ruyizhuang is worthy of being a dark horse that can affect the business of one of the best restaurants in the county, and it does have some strength!
Later, as the guests appeared one after another, the meals on each table began to be served, and most of the dishes that could not be named made Xu Hong's evaluation of Ruyizhuang higher again.
In addition to the father and son, the Xu family also has the three sons of Xu Hong mentioned above, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law, the eldest son's daughter who is less than three years old, and the old wife of the old man Xu has passed away more than ten years ago.
Not long after the Xu family came, the invited guests began to appear, and most of the people who came early were relatives and friends of the Xu family or business partners who were quite close to Xu Hong.
Among the guests, there are no people who have patronized Ruyi Village, and some regular guests will greet the guys who have been arranged by Qin Shuang to come to the banquet courtyard very familiarly, and ask about these arrangements by the way, and the people who were inquired about it did not hide it, and according to Xuan Shen's instructions, they praised how they prepared these things carefully.
Listeners may be a little suspicious that they are Wang Po selling melons and boasting about herself, but in fact, the beautiful and festive potted plants they saw, the good words and couplets with excellent meanings and easy to understand, all show that they have indeed made sufficient preparations, and the Xu family is also very satisfied.
When Ruyizhuang first opened, some guests heard that this banquet courtyard only entertained ten guests every month and wondered, how could this Ruyizhuang not be happy to make money, thirty days a month, and entertain ten guests? Isn't that pushing the money out? But today, it seems that people have decided to make this decision so that every guest can enjoy the final service! At a glance, it will take two or three days to get these arrangements right, and if there are guests every day, I am afraid that the decoration may not be so exquisite.
Because it is a flowing water banquet, the guests can also eat if they don't arrive, and they will also worship their birthday after eating, and those who have something to do can go first, and continue to eat later, and the dishes are enough! So it didn't take long for the guests who came first to eat all kinds of delicacies carefully prepared by Qin Shuang!
The result is directly directed, the normal banquet is indispensable to push the cup and change the lamp, the staggered entertainment scene is almost gone, one by one with their heads down and hard work, only occasionally sighing 'It's so delicious' 'What is this, it's so fragrant!' And then go on and on!
You said that they are here to celebrate the old man's birthday, is this too rude? No, no, not at all! Why, because-
The Xu family, headed by Mr. Xu, is also ruthless without raising his head! Those who don't know see their scramble because they have been hungry at home for days! Even the youngest doll of more than one year old in the family was hugged by her mother and ate the steamed egg custard with some meat floss!
For the sake of the birthday star, half of the dishes at the old man's table are relatively easy to chew, so that the old man can only watch a table of delicacies being eaten up by the juniors in the family, and he can only stare dryly, and it is precisely because Qin Shuang is particularly concerned about the old man that the Xu family actually competes for that meal.
"Hey, eldest grandson, that's grandpa, I'm going to keep it for the last time, why did you take it! Give me my elbows down! ”
"Grandpa, this elbow is too greasy, it's not good for you to eat too much, grandson help you eat it." said that before the old man made a move, he opened his mouth and bit it directly, and the old man who was stained with his saliva would definitely not rob it if he wanted to eat it.
"You stinky boy! Today is your grandfather's birthday party, and you just grabbed food with me!? Looking for a fight, isn't it? ”
"It's okay, grandpa, if you really want to eat, let the people of Ruyizhuang serve another plate, don't you see that the empty plates that have been eaten at other tables will also be removed and another plate will come up not long after, our table must be fast."
"But I want to eat it now! You-" The old man was about to continue to accuse the unkind eldest grandson, but he caught a glimpse of the second grandson reaching out to the dish in front of him, his face changed, and he directly picked up the dish to protect him, glared and said: "The boss and I will grab it, why are you like this!" This is mine, you go eat that green vegetable over there! ”
Xu Hong's second son stretched his neck to look behind the old man, but unfortunately the old man hid it too tightly, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't help but look away regretfully, and he didn't distinguish with the old man, seeing that the food on the table was getting less and less, and it was true that he hurriedly continued to eat something else with chopsticks!
Old Man Xu also found that it was better to eat the vegetables directly in his stomach just by thinking about hiding, and he didn't talk nonsense, but also rolled up his sleeves and continued to grab the vegetables!
If you want to say that what Xu Hong's eldest son said is also reasonable, the flowing water table is flowing water, and the empty plate after eating will continue to be served, this time I didn't eat enough, and I will continue to eat after a while, but this time the situation is different!
In the past, every time the old man celebrated his birthday or someone in the family celebrated his birthday, Xu Hong's eldest son's daughter's full moon birthday banquet either invited a celebrity chef to eat at his own home, or in a restaurant in the city, and the old man was tired of eating and they were tired of it! It's easy to change places, every dish is so fragrant, more than half of them are dishes that have never been eaten, and the names that have been eaten in other restaurants are obvious, and the ingredients seem to be the same, but the taste is more fragrant than others! You can't stop chopsticks at all!
If you want to hold a banquet in Manyuan Spring this time, the rest of the Xu family will definitely not grab vegetables with the old man, who will let it be Ruyizhuang!
The old man's birthday banquet today can be described as both happy and tangled, the first plate was not eaten and the next plate could still be eaten, but he couldn't grab it and was still unhappy, and then he went to grab his grandson's favorite food and didn't let him eat it, you robbed me and I robbed yours, the atmosphere was more lively than usual, even Xu Hong, who was quite calm and mature outside, couldn't restrain himself from frequently putting down chopsticks, and the speed of his hands was not slower than his three sons, but he could still remember to take care of the old man, don't really make the old man angry.
The people at the other tables are not necessarily sitting in the people they are familiar with, and they can be a little restrained compared to the Xu family, and they also grab, but if they meet two pairs of chopsticks to grab a dish, they will let each other pretend to let go, and then shoot again like lightning, each table is almost the same, and the people who call Ruyizhuang to serve at any time on the side can't help but laugh, and at the same time they are happy that the guests are so happy.
Most of these dishes are made by their hosts themselves, and those who come to book a banquet in the future may not have this treatment!
Also because these meals are so delicious, in the past, every time they came to participate in the old man's birthday banquet, more than half of the guests who always left early for some reason decided to stay, who let the people of Ruyizhuang say that the meals in the morning, afternoon and evening are different, and in the afternoon, there are special foods specially prepared for the old man in the evening!
After eating so many delicious foods, there are even more? Whether it's real or fake, I'm not happy to go! The people of Ruyizhuang can say that these dishes are the specialties of the banquet courtyard, do you know what this means?
It means that if you don't eat today, you will have to wait for their own banquet or when they are invited to a banquet again, but there are really not many opportunities to have a banquet and eat all year round! Some small festivals at home are meant to be over, and it is completely unnecessary to come over to have a big feast, and there is not so much spare money to spend!
Since I know that there are not many opportunities to eat, I naturally want to eat enough today, and I can have more aftertaste when I am hungry in the future.
The Xu family is more simply, as soon as they heard that so many delicious dishes are only made when the banquet is placed, they immediately shoot the case, but behind the chair, if they need to set up a banquet outside, the location is set in Ruyizhuang, for which Xu Hong also specially asked whether the banquet courtyard only receives dozens of tables of the kind of big banquet, if the family gathers relatives and friends, only need a private room, seven or eight tables of the kind?
Ruyizhuang's answer is that no matter how big or small, as long as it is a banquet, they will accept it! But no matter how big or small, you still bring 10 guests a month.
In other words, it is very likely that there will be people who want to put up a big banquet because there are more than ten people in the back because there are more than ten people who can't line up, and it feels miserable to think about it.
After these guests are familiar with the procedures and rules of the banquet court, they will naturally understand, so I will not go into detail here.
The banquet in the morning was eaten until near noon, and at this time, whether it was the Xu family or other guests, they were all full, and it didn't look like they could continue to eat, but even if they ate this, unless there were really 100,000 urgent things to deal with, few people left the table! Old Man Xu touched his round belly, but he also looked like he was unfinished and wanted to fight again.
"The morning meal has been served, and the afternoon meal will start in half an hour." Ruyizhuang's guy suddenly announced.
Everyone present sighed 'huh', their faces were full of surprise, including the Xu family, who had never heard of a meal at dinner time, and had never heard of a meal that was not served at dinner time!? What does this mean?
Xu Hong, as the person who booked the banquet, naturally wanted to ask, Qin Shuang knew that someone would definitely ask, so he had already ordered, and the guy from Ruyizhuang replied with a smile: "You are full in the morning, our host is worried that the guests will not be able to enjoy more food in the afternoon, so we decided to rest for half an hour at noon and ask you to empty your stomach, although this half hour will not continue to serve, but will serve you tea that helps to consume, Boss Xu can also take advantage of this time to talk to the guests." ”
Qin Shuang's arrangement is not intimate, she even took into account the lack of time to socialize for these guests who have eaten novel food for the first time, and also gave time to consume food and exchange feelings, ensuring that Xu Hong and the guests will not delay the relationship between them and eat food for their birthdays!
Ruyizhuang's guys deliberately amplified their voices, and the other guests also heard these words, and many of them quickly thought of Qin Shuang's intentions, and their good feelings for Ruyizhuang doubled, where to find such a caring boss! Even the places they didn't expect were taken into account for them! As a result, many people secretly decided that if they want to hold a banquet in the future, they will choose this place!
Hmm, I heard that the banquet courtyard of Ruyizhuang receives ten guests every month? It just so happened that in the last month or two, there have been some happy events that need to be feasted, and people have already thought about setting the date in advance when they leave.
The guys removed all the empty plates, and put away a lot of food or mimeographs, and looked at the tablecloths that were a little dirty, replaced them with clean new tablecloths, and served two pots of tea to the guests at each table to help them consume, Xu Hong and the guests also began to talk to each other in a friendly atmosphere, in addition to about their daily life or business-related, unexpected and expected, many people said about the topic of Ruyizhuang.
At the other end, the kitchen of the banquet courtyard.
Ah Chen looked at the appearance of the crazy old man lying at the door of the kitchen with his round belly, and rolled his eyes: "Old man, how many things have you stolen from other people!" Eat such a big belly! ”
The crazy old man glared and said, "What a steal, it's so ugly!" Isn't that all from our farm! How can it be considered stealing! ”
"Those are for the guests of the banquet house! If someone pays money, it's someone else's thing! Ah Chen snorted coldly, "If you want to eat, you can go to the Sichuan Cuisine Courtyard or the Fast Food Courtyard to eat, don't you also love to eat?" Go get something over there, I promise I won't talk about you. ”
The crazy old man pouted, "Although the food over there is also delicious, but the banquet courtyard is all new dishes that the frost girl has never made, how can it be compared." ”
Ah Chen glared, "Then you can't eat the banquet courtyard!" Frost is tired enough to cook so many dishes to entertain the group of hungry ghosts outside who have been hungry for several lifetimes, and you add to her burden! ”
The crazy old man looked in the direction of Qin Shuang, who was holding their own lunch, and happened to see Qin Shuang cooking all morning and felt that his arm was sore, and pressed the acupoint on his arm to relieve the soreness, which made his face a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "Then I will eat it all, it's a big deal if I don't eat it in the afternoon, hmm...... Eat less. "It is said that there are still good things in the afternoon, so he can only watch a little still, which is indeed too difficult.
Ah Chen was so angry with the crazy old man's unchanging nature that his face turned even darker.
Seeing this, Qin Shuang pulled him over to the long table and pressed his shoulder to let him sit down, "Okay, didn't you already know that the old man was greedy, just eat some, anyway, it's better to give it to outsiders than to give it to yourself, I see that those people in the Xu family are eating very happily, and they don't react to say that the food is not enough." ”
Sitting opposite Honghua, Zhang Qiaoting and Liu Qianqian secretly said with their rice bowls: Why didn't people react! Let them promote these dishes in the banquet courtyard to the Sichuan cuisine courtyard or fast food courtyard anywhere, as long as they can eat it on weekdays, they can buy it.
But they all know that Qin Shuang (the master) specially explained that these dishes can only be used as banquet dishes, it is precisely to attract enough stable customers for the banquet courtyard, the more the guests want to eat what dishes the more they can't be satisfied, they have to hang them all the time, so that they can't eat enough, the more they can't eat, the more greedy they are, the more they want to eat, and if they can't hold back, they will try their best to book a banquet, no matter if they definitely need to set up a banquet or find a random name, there will definitely be many people rushing to come! When the time comes, don't worry that the business of the banquet house will not be prosperous!
Don't look at bringing ten guests directly, each time the guests spend an average of hundreds of taels of silver, and there are more than 1,000 taels a month, if you come to a banquet like Xu Hong with such a big amount of money as 500 taels a month, the income will not be less than that of fast food and medicinal food hospitals!
It's exciting to think about!
"Old man, the afternoon meals are all new tricks, if you still want to eat, try to eat before the table reopens." Qin Shuang gave Ah Chen some food, and said to the crazy old man who was lazy and half-lying without looking back.
The crazy old man said, "Then bring me some tea, too." ”
"The effect of the tea is too slow, you go and deliver a meal to the North Second Courtyard, and then bring a few bags of ingredients in the warehouse to the kitchen by the way, by the way, the rice is almost gone, let's bring a few bags too."
The crazy old man pointed his finger at himself in a daze, and said in astonishment: "You let me be a porter?" And send food to the bad old man who didn't have a good mind in the North Second Hospital!? Frost girl, why are you doing this to me!? You weren't like this before! ”
Ah Chen's brows jumped, why did this sound so awkward? It made his fists itch again.
Qin Shuang just glanced at him calmly and said, "People who don't work don't have food to eat, do you think those meals are eaten for nothing." ”
Crazy old man: "! ”
Ah Chen's heart suddenly felt comfortable! Just say, how can you let the old man take the food casually! She made at least a dozen more dishes! It is light to only let him bring food to others and move some things by the way, with the skills of the old man, such a little work will not hinder him at all, and he will not need to make much effort, but the effect of activity and food consumption can still work.
The crazy old man's lips squirmed, but he didn't say the sentence 'too partial', got up stupidly, and went to serve the food to the North Second Courtyard with a sad face.
Qin Shuang and the others could finally continue to eat.
Speaking of which, the reason why she left half an hour for Xu Hong and the guests was to say that there was an ingredient for them to digest their feelings and tie feelings, but well, the proportion was not very high, and it was more so that she and Ah Chen, as well as the other people in the kitchen, would not continue to be hungry and have a world to have lunch.
The people outside have eaten all morning, each of them has a rounder belly than the crazy old man, and they don't know how their stomachs are rising, those people are satisfied, but they get up early in the morning before dawn to work, breakfast is just a casual pad, and they are busy all morning, even she is so hungry that her chest is close to her back, not to mention other people.
How can you work without a full meal!?
"Frosty, when are you going to make that big birthday peach cake?" Ah Chen asked as he ate.
Qin Shuang said: "The cake must be lit with candles, and it is necessary to make a wish and blow wax, and it is not suitable to take it out during the day, so wait for it to get dark." ”
Ah Chen said: "At that time, it is estimated that they will be able to eat and walk without moving, right?" Can you still eat it? ”
Qin Shuang chuckled: "The cake is big, but how many people are outside?" Why are there six or seven hundred? At night, there will be two or three hundred left, and when the time comes, a cake will be taken out, no matter how big it is, everyone can eat one or two bites at most, and the taste of the cake is already excellent, and they will only be too little and not too much. ”
Ah Chen then remembered that although the cake was big, there was only one! How does it compare with the dishes that used to make hundreds of tables?
In fact, Qin Shuang didn't say anything, in the previous life, the birthday cake was not so much to eat, but to play, the elders' longevity peach cake was still almost, how many young people could really eat the cake in their stomachs after their birthdays? It's all on the face.
Oh, if she has the opportunity, she really wants to subtly adapt this custom to this era, and it feels very interesting to see the ancients rubbing cream cakes on people's faces.
Ah Chen inexplicably felt a little cold, and glanced at Qin Shuang suspiciously, and found that she was revealing a ...... The indescribable weird smile, I don't know if I thought of some tricks again? I don't seem to be seriously looking for their faults lately, huh? Could it be Zhao Da's side?
Half an hour later, the feast continued, and half of the afternoon meal was a new one, and the guests who digested the morning meal were once again unable to resist the many extraordinarily tempting meals, and they were not afraid to eat them vigorously! Fortunately, Qin Shuang specially prepared some medicinal foods for them that were easy to digest or nourish the stomach, so that people would not really have problems eating in their village.
Originally, it is not auspicious to use medicinal food during the birthday, whether it is good for the body or for other reasons, a stain on the word "medicine" will inevitably make people think of physical discomfort, how can someone put this kind of thing on his birthday? But Qin Shuang did it! Just to avoid annoying the Xu family, she didn't tell them which are medicinal diets, she used medicinal diets that can be eaten by the public without taboos, and the medicinal herbs used in them taste light and warm, as long as the cooking is good, you can't eat a little medicinal taste at all, and those with a keen sense of taste will at most think that it is some kind of special spice for cooking.
When Shen arrived, the guests began to say goodbye to the Xu family one after another, and once again sent their blessings to the old man Xu, and left, the remaining guests suddenly lost more than half, and those who had left after eating in the morning were counted, and the rest of the people were almost just enough for eight tables in a private room, most of these people were relatives and friends who were close to the Xu family, many of them were not locals, or married far away or moved the family to other places for development, in order to celebrate the birthday of the old man, he made a special trip to come, and he also had to live in the Xu family for a few days after the birthday banquet. Naturally, he will stay until the end of the banquet and go back with the Xu family.
When night fell, all the dishes of the entire banquet had been served, and the guys of Ruyizhuang served them tea again after removing the table, and said: "There is still one last snack left, and it is also a birthday gift carefully prepared by our host for Mr. Xu, please wait patiently, the surprise will come soon!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, dim sum? Surprise?
Someone asked Xu Hong: "What kind of name is this dim sum?" Did you order it? ”
Xu Hong said: "Didn't that guy just say it, it was prepared for my father by the owner, and I don't know what it is." ”
Old Man Xu said with a smile: "No matter what it is, everything that Ruyizhuang takes out tastes very good, and this time it is deliberately left for the end, it must be a good thing for the finale!" Tut-tut, those who left ahead of time are afraid that they don't have a mouth! ”
Others were also curious and looking forward to this last snack.
Just when they were speculating about what Ruyizhuang was doing, the candlelight in the private room was suddenly blown out, and the room instantly fell into darkness, and the guests were startled.
"What's wrong!"
"What's wrong? What's going on? Why did the lights go out? ”
"The wind blew it out, right? Don't worry, just let the guy re-order it. ”
"Man! Where's the man? ”
"What about people? Why didn't it happen? ”
The guests didn't wait for the guys of Ruyizhuang to light the candles again, and began to have doubts in their hearts, the guys of Ruyizhuang are famous for their thoughtful service, and they have also experienced it themselves, it makes no sense that the house is dark at this time, so half a day's work actually doesn't light the lights, right?
And there was no response after calling for a long time.
At this time, some smart people thought that maybe it was the aftershow prepared by Ruyizhuang for Mr. Xu, but I didn't know what it was?
Before I could think of a reason, there were footsteps outside the door, or several, and there seemed to be a faint candlelight gradually approaching?
When the door was pushed open, a cappella was heard.
"I wish you good life and health, celebrate your happy birthday, every year has today, every year has today, every year has a present day, congratulations, congratulations; I wish you good things on your birthday, and I hope that you will have good luck, and that you will be healthy every year, and that you will be happy every year, and that you will be so happy-"
The festive tunes, the auspicious lyrics full of blessings, and the surprising huge longevity peach that appeared in front of you along with the song are all eye-catching.
In ancient times, there was no birthday song, as soon as the birthday song was said, Qin Shuanglai's hand can be said to be unprecedented, and there is no need to mention how many people will compete to imitate it in the future, but at this moment, everyone is calm, shocked, and happy!
Old Man Xu almost pounced directly after seeing the big longevity peach cake and Qin Shuang pushing the cake, and asked excitedly: "Girl, did you make this longevity peach?" It's huge! And what kind of tune was that just now, it's so good! The old man has never heard such a beautiful tune, and the meaning is good, I like it very much! ”
Qin Shuang smiled and said: "If you like it, Qin Shuang is here to congratulate you again, I hope you have this day every year, every year you have today, when you want to eat our Ruyi Village's breakfast in the future, you are welcome to come and taste it at any time." ”
"Good, good, good!" Old Man Xu said three good words in a row, and his face was red with joy, and he only felt that the birthday banquet that he had lived for more than 70 years was the happiest this time! In comparison, the previous birthday banquets really had no merit.
Xu Hong looked at his father's face and was afraid that he would be too excited and would hinder his body, so he hurriedly walked over to give the old man a good breath, but his eyes were also full of curiosity at the huge Shou Tao that he had never seen before, and the other guests also came up one after another, surrounding the Shou Tao in the middle, and his face was full of strangeness.
"This longevity peach is really big!"
"And it's so fragrant, what does it smell like?"
"This glove doesn't look like the previous Shou Tao milk steamed bun, the milk steamed bun is milky, but the taste of this big Shou peach is a bit like milk, and there seems to be something wrong."
"It looks even better than those little peach milk steamed buns......"
Qin Shuang smiled and explained to them: "This thing is called a cake, it is a dim sum specially designed for people who have a birthday banquet, the taste is fragrant, soft and sweet, everyone wait first, I will ask you to cut it into small pieces for you to taste." ”
Ah Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, held a special bamboo knife in his hand, and simply stabbed down from the middle of Shou Tao, his movements were so fast that Old Man Xu couldn't stop it when he saw that Shou Tao was split in two!
What a peach, cut into two like that! Old Man Xu was full of regret, but then he thought that this thing was meant to be eaten, such a big three-foot-tall longevity peach, if you don't cut it, no one can eat the whole one, who has such a big mouth.
It's just that I still think it's a pity, if only there was a way to keep it intact and leave a memory, Old Man Xu thought.
If Qin Shuang knew his thoughts, maybe he would tell him, he could take a picture, even if he couldn't take out the camera, he could draw it, although it felt weird to draw a big longevity peach on purpose.
Ah Chen cut a big longevity peach cake into very small hundreds, Qin Shuang asked the three groups of people to divide the cake to each guest, these people couldn't wait since they saw the longevity peach, the whole cake was cut and waited for a while, as soon as the cake arrived, they couldn't wait to dig it with a spoon and put it in their mouths.
Qin Shuang beat the cream very delicately, almost melted in the mouth, and considering the age of Old Man Xu, he was afraid that eating too much sugar would not be good for his health, and the sugar content of the entire Shou Peach Cake had decreased a lot, sweet or sweet, but it was not so greasy, and young people who had never eaten cakes with higher sugar content would not feel sweet enough for the first time, and it was a taste suitable for all ages.
"It's delicious!" Although he had already decided to be married, Xu Hong's youngest son, who was actually one year younger than Qin Shuang, was the first to exclaim.
Immediately afterwards, more people praised loudly, "It's so fragrant!" What is this white thing? It's soft, sweet, and melts in your mouth, I've never tasted anything so good! ”
Xu Hong doesn't like sweets very much, but after tasting the taste of the cake at this time, he couldn't say 'it's not delicious', but he ate a piece of cake not long after, and he wanted to have another one! The unstoppable taste made him wonder if he actually liked sweets?
Old Man Xu seemed to be very fond of eating cakes, and he didn't raise his head when others were full of praise, he finished a piece one step faster than Xu Hong, and he didn't open his mouth, only handed the empty plate to Qin Shuang, his eyes shining with anticipation.
Qin Shuang asked Ah Chen to cut another piece for the old man, and Ah Chen probably still remembered that the old man wanted her to be the 'granddaughter-in-law', and snorted: "You can't eat too much cake, be careful that the sweetness is too sweet and your teeth will be ruined." ”
Old Man Xu glanced at him, ignored him, and quietly said to Qin Shuang: "Girl, you see how poisonous your mouth is, on a good day, I actually cursed me to eat bad teeth, such a man is unreliable, girl, you really don't think about my little grandson?" ”
Qin Shuang: "......"
Ah Chen's forehead suddenly burst into green tendons, and it exploded completely!
"Old man! What do you say? ”
Qin Shuang looked at the sky speechlessly.
