Chapter 210: The Honored Guests at the Engagement Banquet

On the ninth day of the middle of August, it is the so-called zodiac auspicious day among the people, and today is the opening of the engagement banquet between Wu Dao and Xu Yiyi. Early in the morning, the Wu family was busy preparing for today's noon banquet. As for Sandaogou Village, which is a surname itself, naturally the whole village went out to come over to help Wu Dao with this engagement banquet.

Originally, this kind of engagement banquet was only invited to the immediate family in the village, and ordinary relatives with the same surname would not come. It's just that this time is different, Wu Dao, the big boss of Taoyuan Company, is engaged, and all the villagers who enjoy the benefits of Taoyuan Company. is still very affectionate, and the whole village is busy with this engagement banquet for Wu Dao. So much so that people who don't understand still think that today is Wu Dao's marriage!

Considering the large number of guests who came today, Wu Dao invited the chef of Laotan to come over to be the town, and Ma Gongcheng was a bad friend. Several chefs from the hotel were also sent to the village early in the morning to hold this engagement banquet for Wu Dao**. As for the banquet, it was also divided into two places, one was the Wu family compound used to entertain those guests of the Xu family.

The other is a relatively ordinary but large number of villagers. Just to run these banquets, Wu Dao's family prepared for three days. After the last plan, I found that at least nearly 100 tables of banquets were needed to invite all the villagers to an engagement banquet.

Fortunately, Wu Daojia's current situation is different from the past, and there is a full-time chef team responsible for the ** office, even the wine and ingredients needed for the engagement banquet are also prepared by the purchasing department of Longfeng Hotel, according to the menu prescribed by Wu Daojia with quality and quantity. Then followed the chef army and came to the ancestral hall square of Sandaogou Village, and set up a banquet for the whole village.

If it is replaced by ordinary people, this banquet of nearly 100 tables alone is enough to bankrupt some families with poor economic conditions. Of course, there is also a lot of courtesy when you come to eat this kind of banquet. It's just that the ** banquet in the countryside is held, and most of them are a family of several people going out together, but one gift will be given. In this way, it is unlikely that you will want to subsidize the loss of the banquet with gift money.

Although the place where the guests are invited is divided into two, the dishes prepared on the banquet are the same. Most of these are good ingredients that ordinary people can't buy even if they have money, and they also allow the villagers to really enjoy a big scene of complete mountain and sea delicacies.

As for the wine used in today's engagement banquet, it was the ordinary beast bone wine that Wu Dao was going to hand over to Ma Gongcheng for sale. The quality of this beast bone wine is ordinary in his opinion, but in Ma Gongcheng's opinion. Most of the people who can afford to consume this kind of wine are rich people who are either rich or expensive.

At least the effect of this beast bone medicinal wine is countless times better than the high-priced medicinal wine currently on the market. Even if the average low-level martial artist drinks it for a long time, it can also have a certain effect of strengthening the body and bones. With this kind of animal bone wine sold at a high price outside, so many guests are entertained. It is enough to prove that Wu Dao is still relatively open in terms of money.

Good wine and good meat entertained the whole village, which naturally made the villagers of Sandaogou Village miss Wu Dao's friendship again. It stands to reason that people nowadays like to hold banquets outside, such as Wu Dao, who puts the engagement banquet in the village for a big event. Sandaogou Village has not experienced it for a long time. Therefore, after getting up early in the morning, the villagers spontaneously brought tables, chairs and benches to the square in the hope of helping a little.

But when the villagers arrived at the square, they saw the professional chef team, and there was really not much they could help. Fortunately, there are always some cumbersome little things in this kind of banquet, so the villagers who came to help were more engaged in some work of tidying up tables, chairs, dishes, chopsticks and washing vegetables.

In any case, a little help is always a help, and no one cares too much about the size of the matter. After all, this kind of help is a voluntary surname, and Wu Dao will not give red envelopes.

When the professional chef sent by Ma Gongcheng cooperated with the local chef of Sandaogou Village to discuss how to hold this engagement banquet, breakfast was just after breakfast. Although there were no police cars to escort the convoy from the provincial capital to Yunling Town, the vehicles looked unusually solemn when they were moving, which also attracted the attention of many private car owners. have avoided these, the car has an ordinary license plate and the driver is not an ordinary team.

In this convoy, Hao Yunlai, who was invited by the Xu family, and Secretary Qian of the Political and Legal Committee, plus the provincial military region invited by Wu Dao missed Huang Chengguang, and they were all sitting in this convoy at the moment. It's just that today they are not the protagonists who went to celebrate Wu Dao's engagement, the real protagonists arrived on the Han River in a private name, and even Hao Yunlai, the No. 1 of the provincial party committee, received a notice after the other party arrived. It can be said that he was caught off guard!

Fortunately, this old man who suddenly visited Hanjiang Province only deliberately made an exception for a day out of public interest and a little respect for Wu Dao, a junior on behalf of himself. With a few old people who had also been invited, they arrived at the Han River to attend Wu Dao's engagement banquet.

Because of the special surname of the old man, even if he emphasized not to alarm the local political axe before traveling, he was still notified by the relevant departments of Hanjiang No. 1. During the arrival of the elderly on the Han River, the corresponding protection work should be carried out. After all, the old man's other identity is that of the prime minister, who is deeply loved by the people.

The reason why the old man attended Wu Dao's engagement banquet in a private capacity this time was because when he went out on a mission last time, he said that he would come over in person when the mission was successful and congratulate Wu Dao. Second, I came to talk to Wu Dao about how important the upcoming martial arts conference will be to the country.

If these scattered martial arts people can complete the reunification and alliance in a real sense, it will play an infinite role in the country's control of more non-scientific and technological nuclear deterrence. Especially at this conference, Wu Dao will take out the barrier-breaking pill for auction, which the state attaches great importance to.

Even among the high-level members of the state, there are many high-level people who hope to obtain the exclusive right to this elixir to entrap or control these mostly unruly ancient martial artists. Of course, everyone knows that the technique of refining pills is in the hands of Wu Dao. The alchemy medicinal materials submitted by the Special Affairs Office alone, and even the amount of medicinal materials that can be collected by the National Mobilization Reserve are also pitiful.

This is also enough to prove that in this situation, Wu Dao abandons the young innate master, and the identity of this layer of alchemist is enough for him to gain more attention from this country.

From the national level, as long as Wu Dao is well encircled, it means that the country is cultivating a group of new innate powerhouses who are obedient to the command and dispatch of the state, and it is very likely that it will fall on Wu Dao. If we fail to find outstanding reserve talents before the three innate masters of the special affairs office fall, it will also be a loss for the country's soft nuclear deterrence.

In addition to Guozi No. 2 personally arriving on the Han River, Academician Su, who was rescued by Wu Dao and returned to China last time, also accompanied the old man to attend Wu Dao's engagement banquet this time. In the words of this master of genetics, who is highly respected in the international community, that is, Wu Dao owes him a lot of animal and plant samples that have not been returned, and he pulled the old man together this time to go to Wu Dao to get those things back!

In fact, everyone knows that aside from the fact that Academician Su is a well-known master in the field of genetics at home and abroad, the signboard of the Su family in Beijing alone is enough for many Chinese officials to look at him. Although the Su family now has no direct relatives holding positions at the top level, the Su family, as the first batch of military and political families in the founding of China, has still stood firm after decades of political changes, which is enough to prove that the heritage of this family is extraordinary.

Although Academician Su is more engaged in scientific research, the genomics engineering he researches is itself a national-level scientific research task. As the leader of the group, he is naturally highly regarded by the country's high-level officials. This is also the reason why, as soon as there was a situation in the dense forest, the state immediately sent a special team to carry out the rescue.

In the context of the end of the Cold War, in addition to the superficial competition of economic strength, various countries are also engaged in scientific research and other aspects. As a late start, the Chinese science and technology community has experienced some progress, and the research in the field of genetics is still behind other developed countries.

As an academician of the Soviet Union who once studied in the former Soviet Union, he devoted himself to studying the knowledge of genetics after returning home, and took the initiative to publish several academic papers on genetics, which also attracted the attention of developed countries. Let them know that China has not only made great progress in military strength, but also has academic leaders in this field of studying human beings and various genes.

It is clear that Academician Su himself is a workaholic, and he can let him put down his work and attend someone's engagement banquet over the years. Those who were familiar with his surname were really taken aback. Fortunately, Academician Su went to Wu Dao to ask for something in the name of following No. 2 to the Han River. But no matter what, the travel of his well-known Chinese and foreign academicians, together with No. 2, undoubtedly shocked the leaders of the Han River.

Originally, according to Hao Yunlai's meaning, it was best to send a police car to escort the trip, but No. 2 was very disgusted with this method. In addition, he didn't want to attract the public's attention, so he rejected Hao Yunlai's kindness. Knowing that Hao Yunlai and several provincial leaders had also accepted Wu Dao's invitation, they originally planned to drive over later, although No. 2 frowned a little.

But considering that this was an invitation letter from the Wu and Xu families, they still asked them to arrange the work at hand, and try to return to work as soon as possible after celebrating in Sandaogou Village. After all, people like them, even if they attend the banquet in a private capacity, but the label attached to their bodies makes them destined not to have much private space.

It is precisely because of this that the No. 2 chief traveled with Hanjiang No. 1, and there was no police car to open the road. However, the convoy responsible for leading the way and escorting the front and rear was occupied by the commissioner of the Special Affairs Office and the national security guards who protected the prime minister.

Not to mention how strong these people's marksmanship and combat effectiveness are, this driving skill alone is that many private car owners can't catch up. So much so that more than a dozen cars are like a car on the highway, which really shocked many private car owners who were overtaken! (To be continued.) )
