After setting the menu, Ning asked Dong Bo to discuss it with him, and then let them go out to buy meat and vegetables. As soon as the things were bought, the whole back house was busy.

On the other hand, Yang Yanwen's posts were also sent to every household one by one. The person who gets the post can come or not, but after all, it is a post made by the magistrate, and basically everyone who receives the post will give face. Prepare your gifts and come to congratulate them.

The whole back house is busy, and Lemon is raising the fetus with peace of mind.

In the past two days, occasionally someone has come to apply for the book boy and Yang Ningchen's husband, Ning will have an interview, and if she thinks it is appropriate, she will first write down the name and characteristics of the person and the address, so that it will be convenient for her to choose in the future. If you think it's inappropriate, Lemon will directly veto.

In this way, on a clear day, the banquet in the back house began.

Early in the morning, the subordinates all got up, and under the leadership of Dong Bo and Zhai, they cleaned the yard.

After that, everyone gathered in the back kitchen to help.

The feast was set for the evening, so they had a whole day to prepare the dinner. In the morning, all the dishes are washed, and after lunch, the chef is invited to cook some meat in the pot.

In order to make the dinner party start in the middle of the unitary time, in addition to the three pots in the kitchen, three cauldrons were also set up in the courtyard of the back kitchen.

After a long time of meat, the chef began to mix cold dishes.

By the time the cold dishes were ready, it was already mid-afternoon, and the chef had started to cook the hot dishes. When the hot tea is ready, place it in a steamer and cover it to keep warm.

If it's cold by then, just put it in the pot and heat it up.

As for the banquet, Ling can rest assured that by the beginning of the unitary period, people had already come over one after another. The banquet is set up in the lobby of the back house, not the traditional table of eight immortals, but the long several.

The main house sits in the main seat facing the door, and the other houses sit on either side.

There can be three people at one table, for a total of twenty-four tables. Two rows on the left and right, six sheets in a row.

In addition to the banquet in the lobby, there are also four tables in the warm pavilion in the back hall, but this table is the Eight Immortals table. In the front lobby was a place for men to drink, while women and children were greeted by Ling in the warm pavilion.

The twenty-four families invited, except for the four county officials, wardens, master bookkeepers, and masters, all the rest are people with heads and faces in Linxia.

They came with gifts, Dong Bo greeted the guests at the door, recorded their names in the book, and then Yang Yanwu came forward to lead them into the hospital, and Yang Yanwen and Ning greeted them in the lobby.

Standing beside the master Wang Lianchun.

Wang Lianchun introduced the two sides.

Congratulations, politeness, and then Wu Kai led them to their seats. The seats were all arranged in advance, and Wu Kai had already memorized the seat where their name was.

Since it was Yang Yanwen who posted a treat, everyone who replied to the post would come over, except for Peng Jicai's four, Yang Yanwen sent a total of 20 posts and came back with 20 posts, which means that all the people will come. And these people didn't dare to be late, one after another, seeing that it was time for the unitary, basically everyone came.

People from the Peng family also came.

Peng Jiliang led his wife Miao and his two sons, Peng Yue and Peng Nian, over.

Peng Jiliang is Peng Jicai's younger brother, only in his early forties, and he looks better than Peng Jicai, at least not so fat.
