40 Contemporary feasts
Chinese After everyone greeted each other for a while, the clerk standing beside the county magistrate used his best strength, shouted quietly, and then said that the county magistrate Xie had something to say.
After everyone entered the banquet and quieted down, County Magistrate Xie said the reason for the banquet, introduced He Xiaojun, a young hero, to the people at the scene, and then said something about public security, stability, unity, persistent efforts, future planning, etc., and finally, toasted all the people present with a glass of wine, and announced the opening of the banquet.
There are a total of eight tables for the celebration banquet, I don't know if there are just so many people invited to the banquet, or is it a good intention to take the number "eight"?
The table used for the banquet is the "Eight Immortals Table" that seats eight people in the old days; The bowl used to hold vegetables at the banquet is the old "octagonal bowl"; The dishes on the banquet were the most elaborate "nine ghosts" in Lingnan in that era.
Nine bowls of dishes for eight people, plus unlimited wine, tonight's banquet is not rich, and, judging from the expressions of the characters in the city who ate with relish, the dishes on the banquet should be well cooked. Only He Xiaojun had a feeling that it was nothing more than that.
Although it was the first time since he came to this other world to have a banquet in a tavern and the most exclusive tavern in the city, He Xiaojun, who had come from the era of food everywhere in his previous life, was of course not interested in the things in front of him that were inferior in color, fragrance, taste, and shape for more than half a century.
and it has been said that it is the best wine that can be obtained in the county, not to mention that it is comparable to Moutai and Wuliangye, and even the general wine of twenty or thirty yuan a bottle in later generations cannot be compared.
On the contrary, it was the surrounding decorations, utensils, and the atmosphere and environment at this time that made He Xiaojun, who had never seen such a scene, still have a trace of curiosity and a hint of playfulness.
The table where County Magistrate Xie was located, judging from the clothes, could already tell that it was a government official. When everyone was half-full, the county magistrate Xie, the host of the banquet, took his table of people and toasted the guests table by table.
After County Magistrate Xie saluted, the atmosphere at the banquet immediately came up. Because, according to the rules of the banquet, after the host takes the lead in toasting, the time to come down is the time to toast freely, so many guests stand up and toast to people they know and have a relationship with.
Platoon Commander Yang and their garrison seem to have a good impression on the people in the city, perhaps, it is also due to the important role of soldiers in the troubled times, and many people present rushed to toast Platoon Commander Yang and Squad Leader Liu.
The people who serve in the army are generally the ones who can drink, and Platoon Leader Yang and Squad Leader Liu are no exception.
Wine can be a great way to cheer up, especially when there are people who drink booze, and the atmosphere of the banquet is sure to be pushed to the highest level. Sure enough, after seeing the arrogance of Platoon Leader Yang and Team Leader Liu, more people stepped forward to toast them, and they also gave toasters one by one.
Fortunately, the drinking cup is the kind of porcelain cup that is half a dollar a cup, and twenty cups are only one or two, if you use a larger cup, Yang Platoon Leader and Liu Squad Leader, who have already drunk more than 100 glasses of wine, are not foreign.
He Xiaojun also made the three of them toast in the toasting link. These three people, one is the county magistrate Xie, the other is the director of the county police station, and the other is the helmsman of the gang, Boss Hong.
The toast of the county magistrate Xie and the police chief, He Xiaojun is not surprised, after all, his brilliant thing this time is related to the stall they manage, and it brings benefits to their management stall, so it is reasonable for them to toast themselves.
And Boss Hong's toast surprised He Xiaojun.
Boss Hong toasted He Xiaojun by the way after toasting Platoon Commander Yang and Squad Leader Liu, and he only had one toast to He Xiaojun, that is: I have never only toasted men, and I can clean up so many bandits with my own strength, you are a man.
Although he felt sudden, He Xiaojun, who had experienced many such occasions in the post-society, was not rude, and he replied respectfully: "You have praised the hall owner, I can clean up these bandits, it is the result of squad leader Liu and the villagers helping each other. I have long heard of your prestige, and it is a blessing for me to have the privilege of knowing the owner today. I salute you with a cup, and I ask the owner to give me advice in the future.
Obviously, Boss Hong was very useful to He Xiaojun's words, and happily accepted the glass of wine he gave back.
He Xiaojun also paid tribute to the county magistrate Xie and the police chief. Come and don't be rude, this is the rule of the wine table.
The banquet ended in this warm atmosphere.
In the banquet, County Magistrate Xie, who was the host of this banquet, Platoon Commander Yang of the garrison, and the president of the Fat Chamber of Commerce were respected the most, so at the end of the banquet, several of them were already a little drunk.
The rostrum was in the innermost part of the hall, so when they withdrew, He Xiaojun and County Magistrate Xie walked last.
It was not late to settle down from Tao Ran, it was about six o'clock in the evening, and the sun had not yet set in the middle of summer.
He Xiaojun had just come down from the restaurant, and he saw an object in front of the restaurant, which surprised and curious him. Because, in front of the restaurant, he saw a jeep parked without a tent.
Although this motor vehicle that He Xiaojun saw for the first time after coming to this world was already dilapidated, He Xiaojun knew what it meant to have a motor vehicle in that era, so he was very curious about whose car it was? How could such a rarity appear in such a small place as theirs?
What also made He Xiaojun curious was that there were two young girls sitting in this car. The two girls were looking in the direction of the restaurant, looking at the people who had come out of the restaurant, as if they were waiting for someone.
It seems that the owner of this jeep should be among the guests of today's banquet. Seeing such a scene, He Xiaojun had already vaguely guessed who the owner of the car was.
He Xiaojun's curiosity was quickly solved, and after the two young girls in the car saw County Magistrate Xie, they almost called out in unison: "Dad, have you drunk so much again?" Mom doesn't worry about you, let's call the guard to pick you up. ”
Sure enough, as He Xiaojun expected, this car was the car of the county magistrate Xie, the boss of the county.
After knowing that this old car was the county master's car, He Xiaojun was still surprised.
He Xiaojun, who is familiar with contemporary history, knows that at this time, even such a jeep can only be qualified to sit in a senior official at or above the division level or at the provincial level. Can a small seven-grade county official have a special car with the same treatment as the division level of the army, can he not be surprised?
When the county magistrate Xie and He Xiaojun greeted them and said goodbye, the two girls called the county magistrate's father followed their father's line of sight and unconsciously glanced in the direction of He Xiaojun, so that He Xiaojun, who was approaching the car, could witness the faces of the two girls head-on.
What He Xiaojun didn't expect was that County Magistrate Xie, who didn't look good, gave birth to two daughters who were like flowers.
In a short glance, He Xiaojun seemed to feel a trace of strangeness in the gazes projected by the two women on him.
However, He Xiaojun quickly denied this feeling. I don't know the two girls, so why do I have a strange gaze? Cat flutter Chinese
