Chapter 739 [Get up close and personal with traditional Chinese culture and customs!] 】

After talking about the new company at his uncle's house, Xing Feng thought that tomorrow was the last day to prepare, according to the custom of holding a banquet in the countryside.

A few respected elders will come to the village to add some details that need to be paid attention to according to the customs and sophistication of the village.

Relatives, friends and juniors who are helping the birthday feast will also follow the traditional customs and come to receive their respective jobs at the birthday feast.

Purchasing and rural chefs will also come over to discuss the dishes they have decided, the various banquet items they need, etc., and compare them from beginning to end.

Rural banquets are not like those in the city, run to the hotel to book a few tables, and don't worry about the rest, it looks simple and convenient.

However, compared with a large group of relatives and friends in the countryside who work together to celebrate the happy event, it just lacks an atmosphere and a traditional Chinese culture.

The human touch of you helping me in the countryside!

Overall, tonight will be the last night of all work decisions, and many people will gather together, and the Xingfeng family will be very lively.

Thinking that this was his father's most important birthday banquet, his son would look faceless if he was not present, so Xing Feng did not stay at his uncle's house for too long.

After the matter was discussed, I took my sister-in-law and drove back home!

Because the sister-in-law drank too much at the brother-in-law's house, she was taken back by her brother when she got out of the car, and the brother-in-law and the eldest uncle and others thought that his parents already knew about the punishment and did not call to do more.

Therefore, Xingfeng's identity as a billionaire is not known to Xingfeng's parents now.

Seeing the eagerness of a large number of people in the family to discuss, and the fact that he didn't know the model of the rural birthday banquet, Xing Feng simply started to eat melons.

When the time came to nearly 11 o'clock in the evening, everything was basically settled, everyone dispersed, and preparations began officially tomorrow.

And the relevant information of this birthday banquet, Xing Feng also had a preliminary understanding through the onlookers in the past few hours.

There are a total of 30 tables for this birthday banquet, plus 5 tables reserved, and the guests include relatives, friends of the father's generation, friends of the younger generations, and distant relatives and neighbors in the village.

As well as some guests who have sent love before, and will come to return the gift this time.

In terms of birthday banquet dishes, the same is according to the customs of the countryside!

Two bottles of drinks, four bottles of beer, and one bottle of liquor per table not only meet the needs of children, but also meet the needs of young people and middle-aged and elderly people.

4 open table cold dishes, 12 main dishes, a total of 16 dishes!

In the customs of the countryside, this move represents two good meanings!

The four cold dishes represent the four seasons, and the 12 main dishes represent the 12 months of the year, adding up to 16 numbers.

It means that all four seasons and 12 months of the year, all of them are healthy and "smooth all the way"!

And dividing 16 by 2 equals 2 8s.

8 represents "hair" in Chinese customs, and the meaning of two 8s is "both developed".

In addition to these, there are many small details, such as a small birthday gift bag for everyone after the banquet.

In the older generation, it was common to put a towel, four glutinous rice dumplings printed with the word longevity and a small piece of evergreen leaves, a small red envelope for a few yuan, and so on.

Bits and pieces of all sorts of festive things, add up to a small bag!

Now that the times have changed, and under the impact of various new things in the new era, the things in it have basically changed, except for the glutinous rice cake and towel.

Usually there is a bottle of eight-treasure porridge, a bucket of instant noodles, a canned drink or milk tea, etc., plus a red envelope upgraded to double digits.

18,28,58,88……

There are no hard and fast money rules, rich people put more, and those who don't have money put less.

It's nothing more than a matter of face!

There are many more details like this, and Xing Feng didn't remember them all, he only knew that he had a "difficult" task.

Wake up early tomorrow and post couplets!

The birthday banquet is a festive celebration.

In the Chinese tradition, the couplet is almost impossible to escape as long as it is a good day, and it will be pasted with various couplets corresponding to consciousness according to the good day.

This is the characteristic culture of China!

……

Early the next morning!

My sister temporarily closed her breakfast shop and came back to be the chief financial manager of the birthday banquet, carrying a big leather bag and her brother-in-law who served as the "chief head" of pulling goods.

With the chef and procurement staff, they set off en masse and went out into the street.

The mother held the little cute baby and served as the "general dispatcher" of the birthday banquet, sitting at home to arrange various things big and small to ensure that everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

The elder brother took some relatives who came to help him to make an earthen stove for building a large pot, put down a large kitchen board for cutting vegetables, and borrowed 35 square tables and benches from nearby villagers.

Xing Feng took his sister and brother to the house, a total of 5 little children of all sizes, happily holding all kinds of couplets, and on both sides of each door of the whole house, festive couplets were pasted.

As for the criminal father, as tomorrow's birthday star, he naturally receives visitors at home.

The whole family can be described as busy, full of festivity, especially lively!

At eight o'clock, my sister-in-law, who had drunk last night, seemed to be woken up by the group of little children around Xingfeng.

As if he hadn't woken up yet, he came to the hall from the second floor.

Seeing that Xing Feng was pasting couplets, the family was still holding a birthday banquet in the traditional way, rubbing his face to refresh himself, walked to Xing Feng's side and said with a smile: "This is Dad's 60th birthday, our big boss, don't you make it a little more lively?" It's too cheesy to follow the rural set. ”

"Cheesy? I think it's okay, it's very atmospheric! ”

Xing Feng pasted the horizontal union with rice paste, pulled his sister-in-law to the house, and said with a mysterious face: "Don't say anything you know, I prepared a big surprise for my father, and promised to let him celebrate his 60th birthday in style." ”

"Big surprise? It's very exciting, or ...... I'll reveal it to your sister-in-law in advance! The sister-in-law said with a smile.

"No problem, absolutely."

Xing Feng agreed, pointed to the barn in the village, which was blocked by other houses, about two hundred meters away, and said: "The surprise is in the barnyard, it should appear soon, if you are interested, you can go over and wait." ”

"Yo, it's so mysterious, then I'll wash my face and take Hanbao and the past."

Since learning the identity of Xing Feng, my sister-in-law looked at Xing Feng's eyes, and there was a trace of absolute trust and a trace of hidden awe.

After all, she hadn't even seen a million-dollar fortune, and suddenly faced a billionaire, even if this rich man was her brother-in-law.

But the psychological pressure brought about by this unattainable identity is not so easy to resolve.
