Chapter Seventy-Six: The Buffet
Wang Ke made a combination of Chinese and Western ceremonies, and the brazier was completely exempted. (He was mainly afraid that the charcoal fire in the basin would lead the wedding dress)
However, worshipping heaven and earth, Wang Ke still retained. He feels that these rituals are still healthy, and they also contain China's long-standing tradition of respecting the elderly. So, he didn't care about it at all.
After the ceremony, Wang Ke did not let the bride enter the 'cave' room to sit and wait for him, but asked them to change out of their wedding dresses, put on the cardigans he made for them, and changed out of their military uniforms, and put on the clothes called Tang costumes in later generations, and the three of them appeared in front of the guests together.
Next, whether it is a Chinese wedding or a Western wedding, they all enter the same procedure, that is, eating.
Instead of moving out one table after another and placing seven or eight plates on the table as is the Chinese tradition, Wang Ke decided a few days ago that he would entertain the people who came to congratulate him in the form of a buffet.
He could imagine how many people would come on the day of marriage. When the time comes, I'm afraid that there will be people everywhere in the front and back yards. If all these tables are set up, how many tables will have to be set up to sit down.
And in this era, they are all very particular about identity and status, if you use a flowing water seat, then whoever eats first, who eats later, who sits in the front yard, who sits in the backyard, will have to give Wang Ke and his son a headache for half a day. So Wang Ke thought about it, but he still felt that it was better to use the form of a buffet, so that who would eat where and what to eat would be decided by himself. What the Wang family has to do is nothing more than to ensure the supply and not let the food be cut off.
Speaking of which, although it is a little tiring to prepare for this, on the wedding day, the descendants of the Wang family will be much more relaxed, and there will be much less things to wash afterwards.
At first, the family didn't understand what was going on, and everyone objected. After Wang Ke explained all the reasons thoroughly, he understood. After carefully calculating the accounts, they all felt that Wang Ke's idea was not bad.
Especially Wang Si, now he has complete immunity to Wang Ke's new 'trick' from time to time, so he has also turned around to support Wang Ke's idea.
Now that this ceremony is over, everyone is muttering in their hearts, when will this wine and food come up?
They all know now that the kitchen of the Wang family, after Wang Ke's training, makes dishes that are comparable to the master chefs in the restaurant. Especially those old killers, they have long made up their minds that they want to come to Wang's house today and drink a good drink of the Wang's self-brewed wine.
But today is the day when Wang Ke got married. Besides, Comrade Li Er, Empress Changsun, and the crown prince are all here, no matter what, this official body still needs it, so although they are all thinking about this issue, no one has said it.
At this time, several subordinates of the Wang family brought a few tables, lined up and put together, and the table was covered with a piece of red 'colored' red silk, and then someone began to put vegetables and chopsticks on it.

Everyone had never seen this kind of scene, and they didn't know what Wang Ke was doing, so they all whispered there in twos and threes.
Comrade Li Er didn't know what was going on, so he had to ask Wang Si who had been by his side in a low voice: "Wang Qing, what are you doing?" If you don't have a feast now, what are you 'getting'! ”
Wang Si lowered his head and explained in Comrade Li Er's ear, and Comrade Li Er said in surprise: "Is there still this way of eating? Then I'm going to have a good time seeing it today. ”
Wang Si said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't say that you haven't seen it, it's just that the ministers are at home, and today is the first time to see you." I only found out when Ke'er said it a few days ago. ”
Empress Changsun sat on the sidelines, and when she heard him and his ministers talking so happily, she unconsciously asked, "What are Your Majesty and Lord Wang talking about, talking so lively." Can you talk to Hongu? ”
Wang Si hurriedly said: "The minister is introducing Ke'er's 'get' method of eating to the emperor, and Ke'er calls him a buffet. ”
"Oh?" Empress Changsun also began to be interested, and turned to Comrade Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, you have to take a good look at this, if it is good, let's try it in the palace." Now I cook so many dishes at every meal, and I can't finish it and 'waste' money. This seems to be a good idea. ”
Comrade Li Er also felt the same way about Empress Changsun's words, nodded and said, "Well, it's okay." If it really doesn't work, he will ask the boy from the Wang family to come into the palace to teach. ”
While speaking, all kinds of dishes have been put on the table, wine, and naturally someone has brought it over and put it aside. None of the people present knew how to start this banquet, and they all looked at Wang Ke, who walked up and looked like Wang Ke who was about to speak.
Wang Ke walked to the front of the steps, and first saluted Comrade Li Er, the eldest grandson, and the crown prince who were sitting on it before saying: "Today, the boy inherits the favor of the emperor and the queen, and marries the two princesses to me." The boy is here to thank God first, and then thank you all for coming to the boy's wedding today, which really gives the boy a lot of face. The kid 'made' a buffet today, which means that he can eat whatever he wants, take as much as he can, and help himself. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the dishes on the table and continued: "Next, please ask the emperor, Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highnesses, princesses, concubines, and all the adults to take them by themselves." ”
After speaking, Wang Ke said to Comrade Li Er: "Please ask the emperor to do it first." ”
Comrade Li Er stood up and said to the Empress Eldest Sun beside him: "Come on, I will go with you and see what is delicious." ”
Empress Changsun stood up, Nanping and Lanling immediately stepped forward to help her obediently, came to the table with Comrade Li Er, picked up a large plate, and picked up everything she wanted to eat and seemed to be able to arouse her appetite to the plate, and then walked back to her seat and slowly got out.
After Comrade Li Er and them took it, the ministers began to come over and choose what they wanted to eat.
The old killers were not in a hurry to get the food, but first carried several jars of wine and moved them to a place of their own choosing, and then called a few people to bring them everything on the table.
