Chapter 81: A Succession of Happy Events (4)
After returning to Chenjia Village, Mrs. Yang immediately took action.
Since both the man and the woman are satisfied, then she just needs to add another fire. The first is to find a long-term partner to combine the eight characters of the two, and unsurprisingly, the eight characters of the two are extremely compatible, one is water, one is wood, in short, Ye Ermei has a prosperous life.
Then, quickly, under the guidance of Mrs. Yang, the two families completed all the procedures, set a good day and an auspicious day, and carried out a grand marriage ceremony.
Finally, after deliberation and reading the yellow calendar, the date of marriage was set on October 18.
Chen Qianshan even took out his own savings, and still purchased the things for marriage beyond the standard of etiquette, which made the girls to be married in Yejia Village envious. It is said that the silver hairpin alone is exquisite, bought in Zhenbao Zhai, there are three or two, whether it is the color or the style is everyone has never seen.
And that's not all.
Since the marriage, Chen Qianshan began to choose a site to build a new house, wanting to build a house in a few months, and marry Ye Ermei in the new house. But Chen Qianshan chose a few places, but he was not satisfied.
He first prepared to choose a site near the village chief's house, but the population density in the vicinity was too high, almost a few steps away, and it was too crowded. There are many woods in the middle of the village, and it is always strange.
If Ye Feng is replaced, he will naturally choose the vicinity of Chen Jixing's house or in the middle of the village. Chen Jixing's house is next to the official road, and in his development concept, this will be the center of Chenjia Village in the future.
As for the woods, the air is good, and it is just right to build a villa or something.
Unfortunately, none of these ideas are suitable for the people of Chenjia Village. Next to the village chief's house, or next to the ancestral hall, is the first choice.
Seeing that Chen Qianshan was in a hurry for this matter, Ye Feng was a little unbearable, knowing that he was in a hurry and wanted to show it.
So he pulled him aside and said, "I have a suggestion, but I'm afraid that you won't, or that I will interfere with your ideas." I mean, my sister and your fiancΓ©e have always had a good relationship, and they will inevitably come and go in the future. When you become relatives and the second sister is pregnant, my sister can also help guide you. So, if you really don't have a choice, you can consider choosing a place to build a house in the vicinity. Of course, it is better to stay away from a few acres of land, or build directly on the opposite side. I'm going to buy all the mountains and land around here. β
At the end, Ye Feng added: "These are my personal ideas, where to choose in the end, you still have to make your own decisions." By the way, don't tell anyone about my idea of buying land. β
When the peanut harvest was abundant, Ye Feng planned to buy a few acres of land near Chen Jixing's house and about 20 acres of sloping land next to the backyard. The land near the house is used to build houses, and as for the slope land, it is used as a gardening experiment base.
Chen Qianshan was a little surprised by Ye Feng's generosity, and solemnly promised not to spread it. Just thinking about it for a while, with the help of a feng shui master, Chen Qianshan chose a piece of land opposite Chen Jixing's house to build a house. If it is completed, the two families will only be separated by a small road, a piece of land about one acre in size.
If you walk in a straight line, the distance will not exceed a kilometer.
Seeing that Chen Qianshan finally chose a good place, Liu was relieved. In the past few days, he has been in a hurry, which has made her anxious.
When he learned that Chen Qianshan had chosen the place opposite Ye's house, he was a little embarrassed, and when he met people, he said, "Who said that girls are extroverted, I think that if men are extroverted, they are much more powerful than women." β
Seeing that Liu said it funny, all the women laughed.
Now, everyone likes to chat with Liu more and more, she is refreshing, loves to laugh, and likes to make jokes about her son, everyone finds it interesting.
But after laughing, when I thought about it, in fact, Liu didn't say anything, he really could speak, and he couldn't hinder Chen Qianshan at all.
As soon as the place is decided, the rest is done quickly. As long as there is silver, there is naturally no shortage of people to help with things.
Chen Qianshan is a proper man of action, but within three days, he found the required bricklayers and other craftsmen, bought all the bricks and tiles and other materials needed to build the house, and started work in full swing.
Seeing the bricks and tiles on the open space, and seeing the posture, for a while, those families who asked matchmakers to come to the door to say goodbye were a little red-eyed. With these materials and this piece of land, it seems that at least seven or eight rooms will be built.
It would be great if my own daughter married in, and she could live in a new house as soon as she got married.
On the other hand, Yaya Township Kitchen also ushered in the first business after the change.
This time, it was a solid family in Wujia Village, which was only seven or eight taels away from Chenjia Village, to make a banquet. Coincidentally, this is a three-happiness door.
One is the 100-day banquet for the grandson, the second is the wedding banquet for the new daughter-in-law to enter the door, and the third is the old lady of the Wu family who turns seventy. It just so happened that all three happened to be on the same day. These three events, no matter which one of them is a great joy, let alone happening at the same time.
Except for the banquet at Mr. Lan's house in Yejia Village, this is the first time that the Yaya Township Chef has felt huge pressure.
If you do a good job, your name will be more and more famous, and there will only be more and more business in the future. However, if it is not done well, the reputation that has been accumulated with great difficulty will be ruined. Therefore, as soon as the people from Yaya Township Kitchen were summed up, they chose Chen Jixing's house for a meeting.
Here, after all, it is the birthplace of Yaya's village kitchen, and everyone is used to holding meetings here whenever there is something.
The Zhu family naturally came, and after the Ye family's publicity, everyone knew that she was going to quit and be topped by the Zhu family.
Da Niu's mother seemed to be the core person, and when she saw that everyone was coming, she stood up and said loudly: "This banquet is all-inclusive!" Although they make more money, I wish they could buy the ingredients themselves. You think, it's really unprecedented to do three happy events together. Aunt Wu said that this banquet will be held for three days in a row. Come to think of it, how much do you need for this ingredient alone? β
Zhu was a little excited, he didn't expect to encounter such a grand event when he participated for the first time. It's really a lot of pressure, but if you do it well, wouldn't you be able to make a lot of money?
So he said a little euphemistically: "Aunt Wu is really generous, and she paid two hundred taels of silver in advance at once." said that if it was not enough, she would just ask for it. I think it's tiring to buy ingredients, but it's not impossible. If you are tired, you will get more, and it will be worth it. β
Zhu's words were tactful, especially the last sentence, which expressed everyone's thoughts. People like Chen Qianshan and Ye Ermei, who are about to start a family, can't wait to have business come to their door every day, take advantage of the opportunity to earn more money before they get married, and live a little more nourishing after marriage.
Zhao Shi looked at the excited crowd and said with some concern: "This task is too heavy, and it needs to be done for three days in a row. As I say, how about we bring in another person? I've just counted it, just a few of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it. β
Although the Ye family withdrew, he still wanted to give advice to everyone, and after listening to Zhao's worries, he said: "What you said also makes sense, but if you recruit another person just for this banquet, I don't think it's worth it." If you want to say that there are already a lot of people now, recruit another one, and everyone will get less in the future. β
For a while, everyone was talking about whether to recruit people.
In the end, it was Chen Qianshan's brain, and he suggested: "I think we have to find someone to help this time, because the work is too heavy." But we can also make it clear to the other party that he only does it this time, and he usually doesn't use it. When you encounter something like today, just call him over. Also, like before the Chinese New Year, there were many banquets at that time, and he could also come over to help, and as for the money, it was still evenly divided. β
Even Ye Feng thinks this suggestion is good, it is equivalent to finding a temporary worker or hourly worker, not using it when he is not busy and the duck duck village chef can cope with it himself, and when the task is heavy, he will come to help temporarily.
Moreover, if the duck and duck village chef wants to recruit someone in the future, this person will be given priority.
After Ye Feng's supplement, everyone unanimously approved this suggestion.
But here comes the problem again, who to find? Every time this candidate is determined, it is the most difficult time for everyone.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Da Niu's mother said again: "I suggest finding someone who lives not far away, so that he doesn't have to toss back and forth, and it is convenient for us to notify." β
Da Niu's mother's words directly blocked the Zhu family, who was thinking about introducing her sister-in-law.
Everyone also agrees with this suggestion.
Seeing that everyone was deadlocked and there was no candidate, Ye Feng said: "In this way, everyone will propose a candidate, and then everyone will add up to see who is the most suitable." The reason why he said this was that Ye Feng felt that the people here were all veterans, and if he wanted to recruit people, he naturally had to take care of his own people first.
As for the others, let's wait.
There is no one in the Ye family to choose from, and people like the Huang family can directly skip it. As for the third sister of the Ye family, they can't cut the dishes, and they can't do it.
That's fine, Ye Feng felt that in this way he and the Ye family could be referees, anyway, his family was not outstanding, and there was no such thing as favoritism.
Zhu was originally depressed that she couldn't recommend her mother's family, but when she heard Ye Feng say this, she felt that the opportunity had come again, so she began to organize her language in her heart, ready to say all the advantages of her sister-in-law.
Da Niu's mother was the first to speak: "There are no suitable people in my family, a few of them are kids, not suitable." Besides, my family and I are both here, so we won't recommend candidates this time. β
This is the manifestation of self-consciousness, Ye Feng thought.
To say that the consciousness of the big cow mother is high, thinking that both of them are working in the Yaya Township Kitchen, they are not greedy, and they did not recommend their mother's family to come. It stands to reason that Da Niu's mother has three older brothers, all of whom are married, that is to say, there are three sisters-in-law, but she didn't recommend any of them.
Chen Jiwan has no opinion on Da Niu's mother's decision.
His mother gave birth to two children, and in addition to him, he also had a daughter, that is, his sister, who married into Lijia Village. Although life is tight, it can go on. The village chef has been doing it for so long, and his sister has never proposed to add anything.
And since Da Niu's mother has set the tone, he doesn't think about these things anymore. Thinking that if there is a next time, it is not too late to recommend it.
Seeing that Chen Jiwanjia gave up directly, Chen Qianshan was a little silent for a while. Originally, he wanted to recommend his mother Liu to come in. However, now that he and his eldest brother are here, his second brother has learned carpentry work again, and he follows Ye Feng to sell cutting boards. If you count the second sister Ye, his family is really the one with the most staff in the Yaya Township kitchen.
After thinking about it, I felt embarrassed to call another person in.
However, he did not say that he would give up the opportunity, he decided not to say anything about it for now, and then wait and see how things develop. So, Chen Qianshan said, "Let me think about it again." β
The Zhao family is also a mother, and after many years of hard work by her in-laws, now that she has the confidence, she naturally will not recommend these people, and she gave up directly.
In the end, it was Zhu's turn.
Originally, she had always planned to recommend her sister-in-law, because when she was not married, her sister-in-law treated her very well, so the relationship between the sister-in-law and sister-in-law was very good. Seeing that one by one gave up the opportunity to recommend, she was even happier in her heart and felt that she had a great opportunity.
However, when she saw Chen Jiwan and Da Niu's mother, she suddenly thought, why do you have to be a member of her mother's family, wouldn't it be better if she recommended her own man. Not to mention that it is convenient for the husband and wife to work together, just the income is one more.
She wanted to make money so much.
So, after weighing it again and again in her heart, she made a difficult decision: "Don't laugh at me, everyone, I want to recommend my family." Everyone also knows that my two children are like a day old and are about to get married. I also want to earn a little more money and become a mother-in-law as soon as possible. β
At the same time, I said to her sister-in-law in my heart that I couldn't help it.
The Zhu family is used to talking, and this person is the second brother of Chen Jixing and the Ye family, for a while, Ye Feng was a little speechless.
I thought I could be a referee, but now it's good, it's too late to avoid suspicion.
Da Niu's mother is a rectum, and seeing that Chen Qianshan is the only one who has not spoken so far, she said to Chen Qianshan: "Hurry up, you also recommend someone, everyone decides on the candidate." β
Da Niu's mother didn't mean anything else, she just urged Chen Qianshan not to waste time, after all, there are still many things to be done in the future. But when Zhu heard this, he felt that Da Niu's mother had something to do with her.
If Chen Qianshan gives up, wouldn't there be no need to decide, and Chen Jida can go directly to work.
Chen Qianshan was just hesitating, but now he was the only one left, so it was not good to delay any longer, so after thinking about it, he had to say: "I don't have a suitable candidate." We don't recommend it this time. β
Anyway, there will be a chance in the future.
Because Ye Feng said that if the business is too good this year and he can't be busy, he suggests setting up another team. The two teams do their own thing and do not interfere with each other.
Anyway, whoever is invited is whoever is invited.
If such a team is really established at that time, the recruitment will definitely be like now, recruiting acquaintances first.
As soon as Chen Qianshan's words were finished, Zhu immediately became the happiest person, and she was the only one in the audience who recommended the candidate.
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief directly, this ending is not bad, there is no need to vote. And I have to say that Ye Ye is crooked. So far, it is basically a family of two people who have joined the ranks of duck and duck village chefs.
Due to the withdrawal of the Ye family, Chen Jixing is currently the only one left, but Ye Ermei's identity is special, and she is still a member of the Ye family. In addition, Chen Jixing and Ye were originally greedy people, so they didn't care.
Once the person is chosen, the task is assigned.
Considering that there were more ingredients to be purchased this time, an ox cart was not enough at all, so Chen Qianshan's ox cart was also requisitioned.
Everyone discussed and decided to go out early tomorrow morning and send it to the market for big purchases.
After thinking about it, it was decided that Chen Jiwan and Chen Qianshan would catch the car, and Zhao, Da Niu's mother, and Zhu's would follow to purchase. After thinking about it, there were too many items, and Zhu remembered to call Chen Jida.
Everyone knows that Chen Jida's tendons and flesh are not white, and it is just right to call him to move things.
When the meeting was over, the crowd dispersed.
Zhu can be said to have returned home with a full load, and she couldn't wait to tell Chen Jida the good news. Just now, fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise, it would be her sister-in-law who would follow her to purchase tomorrow.
The fact that Zhu went to Chen Jixing's house for a meeting in the morning naturally couldn't be hidden from Huang.
Early in the morning, Huang began to lose his temper, and he didn't like anything. At this moment, when he saw Zhu coming back, he had the heart to scold her a few words to relieve his anger, so he provoked: "Yo, who is this, isn't this a brother and sister, why did you come back, I thought they would leave you to eat before coming back." β
Zhu didn't bother to bother with it at all, and she had more important things to do. Anyway, I'm in a good mood today, so let her say whatever Huang likes to go.
Therefore, with a faint smile, Zhu went back to the room.
Huang slammed his fist on the cotton, and without even a response, she felt bored, everyone was gone, and she could no longer find anyone to be angry. As for Mrs. Liu and Fifth Sister Chen, she didn't dare to provoke them.
Therefore, I just feel that there is nowhere to vent my belly fire.
In the evening, after listening to Zhu's words, Chen Jida was really happy. However, in order not to make enemies, the two of them unified their calibers, only saying that this time the banquet was special, very busy, and there were not enough people, so they needed Chen Jida's free help.
When Huang and the others heard this, although their hearts were sour, they also felt that it was just like that, and they just got a red envelope afterwards. How did they know that Chen Jida was going to share the profits with everyone this time.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Chen Jida took Zhu and waited at Chen Jixing's house, which made Da Niu's mother look very pleasing to the eyes.
This kind of big event, at a critical moment, it would be bad if you met two lazy people.
The ox cart was already ready, and the group got into the cart and walked towards the market.
For procurement, Da Niu Ma and Zhao have rich experience. Although it was the first time for Zhu to participate in procurement, he listened to the teachings of the two on the road and instantly understood.
Who doesn't know how to bargain, she usually goes to the market. And when he heard that the harder the cut, the higher the profit, Zhu was even more eager to try.
I have to say that this time the chef recruited Zhu to come in correctly.
Although it was the first time to purchase, because it was an acquaintance, and the amount was large this time, Zhu's bargaining skills surprised even Zhao's, because she cut the price to an astonishing extent, that is, Da Niu Ma was able to compare with it.
Because I had to start cooking in the evening, and the weather was hot, I didn't dare to buy too much meat at all, so I estimated the amount I bought for a day. By the time the crowd gathered again, the ox carts were already full.
This made Chen Qianshan a little depressed, originally he wanted to drive an ox cart to pick up Second Sister Ye by the way. Now it's okay, the whole car is full, and there is no place to put your feet.
It seems that there is only one more trip.
Everyone thought about it, it was almost noon at the moment, and it must be too late to go home for dinner. As soon as they were summed up, they discussed eating a bowl of noodles and a bun for each person and then set off directly to Wujia Village.
This saves a lot of time.
Zhu said: "Anyway, we got a lot in the morning, and we ate a bowl of noodles." She can see it, no wonder the Yaya Township Chef can make money, just by purchasing.
However, she was only half right.
In fact, this cooking is hard money, and procurement accounts for a large part. Now it's just procurement, and it's time to start with the stove for a while, and that's when the real hard work has come.
Da Niu's mother said: "This is not necessary. Aunt Wu was generous and counted our lunch money. Let's just order noodles to eat, the Wu family's aunt has wrapped it. But don't order those expensive ones, we also have to save for others. β
What a simple thought, the master is good, and they didn't think to take the opportunity to knock on a pen.
In the end, everyone ordered a bowl of their favorite meat noodles, plus a steamed bun. In fact, it is obviously not enough to be like Chen Jiwan, Chen Jida and Chen Qianshan, but after going to Wu's house for a while, setting up a stove, and having to eat at night.
Seeing that the Zhu family and Da Niu's mother broke half of the bun for their own man, Chen Qianshan was a little red-eyed for a while, thinking that he would urge and urge when he returned after cooking, and strive to build a good house as soon as possible and marry Ye Ermei into the door.
After the meal, several people still took an ox cart to Wujia Village.
As a result, when passing by the official road outside Chenjia Village, I saw that Ye Ermei was already waiting on the side of the road, and I didn't know how long I had been waiting.
Chen Qianshan was overjoyed, and hurriedly stopped the car to let Ye Ermei come up, although it was crowded, there was no way. Fortunately, it's not far off.
When it arrived, everyone was used to doing it, building a stove, setting up a high bench and putting a stool on the board, washing vegetables, choosing vegetables, washing dishes, and it was very lively for a while.
Da Niu's mother even took out a set of porcelain printed with flowers and wealth that the pottery master from Ye's treasure had given before, which attracted everyone's attention.
According to Ye Feng's instructions, this set of dishes was only used at the birthday star's table. The rest was still on the dishes of the Lord's house.
Ye Feng's idea is very simple, those who can sit with the old birthday star are either senior or old, or have status. This kind of person is generally the top spokesperson in the family, and if there is one who likes it, the duck duck village kitchen can buy it on behalf of him.
To put it bluntly, it's an advertisement.
I have to say that Zhu is really a good cook, anyway, tonight is to entertain the guests who came first, and there are not many people, so Zhao and Da Niu's mother are almost all made by Zhu in addition to making specialty dishes.
Seeing that Zhu was so capable, everyone was completely relieved.
Ye Ermei made her own dish, carved some flowers with cucumbers, and then began to make chili oil. Seeing Chen Qianshan's gaze, he never left him, and his face turned red with shame for a while, which made several married women of the Zhu family laugh.
Gradually, a strong fragrance wafted out of the yard.
In the evening, when everyone worked together to serve the meal, it was unsurprisingly well received. Especially at the main table, those dishes are already very pleasing to the eye.
The snow-white porcelain plate, with carvings of different colors, coupled with Ye Ermei's deliberate plating, makes people appetizing.
Everyone was fine, but Zhu and Chen Jida were very excited, because it could be seen from the smile of the Wu family's aunt that this banquet was a success. Before, they had always been a little apprehensive, but now it seems that they are too worried.
The next day was the main seat, and a few people got up early to start preparing. If last night was just a small fight, today is the time to test their strength.
Thinking of what the Wu family's aunt said last night, "If you do well, everyone will have a red envelope", everyone worked very hard.
Chen Jida is a studious person, and he has been following Chen Qianshan to learn to build a stove after doing physical work. After setting up the stove, I went to chop firewood, in short, there was no idle moment.
Chen Qianshan knew that this was the elder of the Ye family, and he could be regarded as the elder of the second sister of Ye, and he did not hide his secrets when he was teaching, and what he said was dry goods that had passed through the vein.
The efforts of everyone were not in vain, and the lunch was well received by the guests.
Considering tomorrow's banquet, after lunch, everyone discussed, and Zhao took Zhu and the two of them to the market to purchase. Although there will still be a lot of guests tomorrow, there are some leftovers today, and they can be used as flowing water seats.
Zhu knew that the reason why he took himself to purchase was because he bargained hard. Therefore, my heart is even happier, and I forget about fatigue and everything.
For three consecutive days, the people of Yaya Township Kitchen united and cooperated, worked tirelessly, fully carried forward the style of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness, and finally successfully completed the task.
