On November 3, the famous restaurant Liuyunxuan held a grand banquet called the "Longevity Fruit Banquet", which was attended by almost all officials and celebrities in Qingshan County. The movement is so big that it is really rare.

On the same day, because Baizhi County also participated in the banquet, Boss Wang ingeniously invited leaders from all walks of life to attend, so some people called this banquet "a banquet with the people".

This is destined to be a banquet that will be remembered by everyone in Qingshan County, not only because the food of long-lived fruit is the first time that it has appeared on people's tables, but also because it has created a precedent for the catering industry in Qingshan County and even the whole country to open a buffet model.

Since then, the banquet has radiated outward with Qingshan County as the center, and restaurants in many places across the country have followed this practice, and even spread to the capital for a time.

It's just that people in this time and space call this a joint dish, not a buffet.

On this day, Chen Jixing's family got up early in the morning. However, Ye did not go into the kitchen to cook, but came together and began to freshen up. Her belly is now very large and will give birth in three months.

Because it is a twin, Ye's belly is a little scary. I don't know, I thought she was going to give birth at any time. Therefore, Chen Jixing asked her to do something at all. Even if he is idle every day, he always complains of back pain. I can't sleep at night, either cramps or lower back discomfort.

After finishing the makeup, Ye began to dress up Qianyan and Ye Feng again.

Since the family was financially well-off, the Ye family subconsciously cultivated Qianyan in the direction of a lady. She is not allowed to go out to play when the sun is shining, so as not to get tanned. Of course, it is not allowed to go up to the tree to dig out bird eggs and go down to the river to fish.

Gradually, Qianyan's face became whiter, and it was no longer as dark as before.

In addition, Ye also bought some headdresses and new clothes for Qianyan. Ye Feng is stubborn, has his own unique aesthetics, and is a boy, so Ye didn't force him much.

It's just that Chen Jixing and Qianyan all the decorations on their bodies were bought by the Ye family. The father and daughter accepted it, but in Ye Feng's opinion, it was really not good.

When the family finishes grooming, they are all brand new. looked at each other, and they all saw satisfaction in each other's eyes, so they took all the items, locked the door, and walked towards Ye Ermei's house.

Last night, everyone discussed it, and this morning they had breakfast at Ye Ermei's house.

When she arrived at Chen Qianshan's house, Ye Ermei was serving the boiled peanut noodles to the table, and when she saw the Ye family coming, she smiled and said, "This is a coincidence!" I want Chiyama to call you over for noodles. Ah, you look very different today. ”

As he spoke, he pulled a thousand words over and looked up and down: "Well, not bad, not bad." If you want to say that this girl is dressed up, she looks like a big girl. As I say, let's wear it like this in the future, how beautiful it is. ”

Qianyan, who was praised, was both happy and worried, and his heart was extremely conflicted. She also likes to be beautiful like this, but it's really awkward to dress like this, and she doesn't dare to walk fast, which is really inconvenient.

Hearing this, Ye sat down firmly, and then said: "According to me, you and Qianshan will also change their clothes for a while, and if you are young, you will wear such an old age." Last time I bought a flower for this girl, and I wanted to buy you that dress, but you don't want it, it's too expensive. If you want to say how beautiful that dress is, call you the best. ”

Ye Ermei said: "Sister, have you forgotten that I didn't like to wear those bells and whistles since I was a child." If you really want to buy it for me, I'll just pick one after the longevity fruit banquet in a while. ”

Seeing that the sisters had a good relationship, Chen Qianshan and Chen Jixing were also happy. The family happily began to eat peanut noodles, thinking that after eating, they would take the car to the city to attend the banquet in Liuyunxuan.

Originally, after these peanuts were dried, Chen Jixing still learned from last year, packed them in three bags, tied them up, and hung them on the beams of the house. However, last night, Second Sister Ye ran over and said that she suddenly wanted to eat peanut noodles, because she saw Liuyunxuan's chef make it once that day, and she never forgot it in her heart.

Ye Shi heard her say that she would drool when she thought about it, and she was shocked, and she had a vague idea. But after thinking about it, the two have been married for less than two months, and they are observing first, if not, Chen Qianshan will probably be disappointed.

Therefore, he only secretly paid attention to her movements, and did not let her climb up and down. In this regard, Ye Ermei was unaware of it, and only felt that the Ye family cared about her.

Several people are eating peanut noodles for the first time, especially Chen Jixing said with feeling: "If you want to say that this longevity fruit is magical, I thought it could only be used for cooking, but now I look at it, making noodles is also so delicious." Hey, it's a pity that those seeds are at home. If it goes down in the spring next year, it will all be in the village. ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng said: "What are you afraid of, those are our seeds, and how to use them is originally our freedom." But when you say that, it reminds me that when you think of the whole village, you forget about ourselves! ”

"Haha, you just remember now? Late? After all, we promised the village chief a long time ago. Forget it, anyway, when the time comes, we can divide the silver, and that's enough. ”

Since selling the longevity fruit and having savings in the family, the Ye family has become more and more confident, and many things are not so careful.

However, Ye Feng disagreed, thought about it and said: "In this way, let's take ten catties out in advance, and we will plant one acre by ourselves in the spring next year." Of course, this is counted as our two families, not in the part of the village's dividends. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qianshan and Chen Jixing were very happy. In this way, the income of the two families next year is simply considerable. But at the same time, he said with some concern: "Is it really okay to do this?" If only others knew......"

What he meant Ye Feng understood, it was nothing more than that he agreed to the village chief first, and then informed the people in the village, and it would be a little inappropriate to do this again.

Who knows, I only heard Ye Feng say: "What if you know?" Speaking of which, no matter who I owe, I don't owe to the village chief or the other villagers in the village. This longevity fruit was originally left to me by my father, and it was up to me to decide how I wanted to dispose of it. I promised the village chief to take out the seeds and make seeds to help the villagers get rich. But I didn't say I was going to take it all out. And I only kept ten pounds myself, and no one else can take care of it. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt that what Ye Feng said was quite reasonable, and they became happy again. If the two of them alone own the immortal fruit of one acre of land, they can do whatever they want.

After eating noodles, Ye Ermei went to the stove room to wash the dishes with the bowl, and the rest of the people sat under the eaves and chatted. As a result, before I was happy for a while, I heard a banging knock on the door.

Who could it be so early in the morning? Before everyone could speak, Ye said, "Hey, it must be her, you said we all hid here......"

Chen Qianshan hurriedly got up and went to open the door, and when he saw it, it was actually Huang.

Subconsciously, Chen Qianshan shrank back, leaned against the door and leaned in, and then shouted: "Sister-in-law Huang, you are here, is there something wrong?" ”

"What, I can't come if it's okay?" No matter when, Huang can always seize the flaws in your words and make trouble with you.

"How could it be! Sister-in-law, please come in! With that, Qianshan hurriedly gave way and stood aside, as if waiting for the Huang family.

Huang didn't speak, leaned in, smelled the fragrance in the air, pouted and said, "Look, I'll just say that you must be here, my mother just doesn't believe it." I don't know what to eat! Come out quickly, my mother is waiting at your door! Didn't you say it yesterday, let's take a car to the city for a banquet today. ”

Huang's words successfully made Ye's chest rise and fall in anger, and he was about to reply to her a few words, seeing this, Chen Jixing hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you go and let your mother get in the car first, and we will arrive later." ”

Yesterday I did say that we were going to go to the city together, but I didn't say that we were going to take the same car. Mrs. Liu can take the car, but the others are not in the scope of Ye Ermei's consideration.

Now it's all right. It seemed that except for Chen Qianshan, several men were going to walk, Ye Feng thought in his heart. But that's fine, he doesn't want to sit in the same car with Huang.

It is estimated that before he arrives in the city, he will be able to be dyed by her.

After the two sisters of Ye finished cleaning up, everyone went to the ox cart together. There were only Chen Jixing's eldest brother and second brother standing on the ground. As for Mrs. Liu, Chen Wumei, Zhu, Huang and others, they must have been sitting in the car for a long time.

As soon as Ye's anger came up, he wanted to turn around and leave. She wanted to see if any of her pot-bellied women were still sitting with their faces steady, and she was walking hard underneath.

But thinking that if he was like this, Chen Jixing would really not be able to do it. For the sake of his man, he had to hold back his anger and get into the car with the support of Ye Ermei.

Seeing this, Chen Jixing breathed a sigh of relief, and then took Ye Feng and a few people to walk behind the ox cart. Gradually, the ox cart disappeared.

Strictly speaking, Ye Feng is also to blame for this soft-heartedness. Otherwise, there wouldn't be what we do today.

This Huang family is also considered to have great magical powers, and I don't know where to find out about this banquet in Liuyunxuan. I heard that all officials, young ladies and ladies were going to attend, and this banquet was still Ye Feng's idea, and his eyes lit up for a while.

Yesterday afternoon, they came to Ye's house early, hoping that Ye would take the whole family to see and see, but they also wanted to see what the county magistrate looked like. And they all took Chen Wumei and Mrs. Liu with them in and out of the words.

said that Mrs. Liu was old and didn't go out all day, but this time she offered to go and see. A few children also want to go and see the world. And Chen Wumei is about to leave the cabinet, and she will definitely not have a chance to go out after she gets married.

In short, Huang didn't mention himself a word, no matter how he sounded, it seemed like he was thinking about other people.

Ye Feng felt that Mrs. Liu was fine, and there were more opportunities to go out, so she didn't necessarily have to go with her tomorrow. However, Chen Wumei, as Huang said, as soon as she goes out in January next year, it is estimated that it will be difficult to go out.

Speaking of which, the freest time in a woman's life is before marriage.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng agreed. And Boss Wang had already agreed with Ye Feng that his family was welcome to attend, all of which were free of charge, and there was no need to make an exception.

In the ox cart, the atmosphere was very eerie. Mrs. Liu and Ye's closed their eyes to recuperate, Huang took Ye's second sister's hand to look at her newly bought table, and Zhu pulled Qianyan, afraid that she would hit Ye's stomach.

Although the faces looked quite harmonious, everyone barely spoke.

Later, it was Mrs. Liu who was the first to open her eyes, looked at Qianyan, who was dressed well-behaved, and praised it from the bottom of her heart. Her granddaughter, who was so ugly when she was a child, is now a little like an aunt. So he said that he would buy food for Qianyan in a while.

Hearing this, Ye's expression also loosened a lot, speaking of which, this is the first time that Mrs. Liu is looking at Qianyan and wants to buy food. Her family does not lack these now, but it lacks this heart.

Chen Qianshan has been here several times, so he naturally knows the way, so he arrived a long time before Ye Feng. It's just that when they arrived near Liuyunxuan, several people decided not to get out of the car first.

Because everyone knew in their hearts that without Ye Feng, they couldn't get in at all, at least it was impossible to go in without giving money. Just kidding, two or two for one person, their group of people will cost a lot of silver.

When he saw Ye Feng and the others arrive, Chen Qianshan jumped down from the ox cart, and slowly helped Mrs. Liu and Ye Shi out of the car, and then said to Ye Feng: "I'll go and park the ox cart first, you take them in first." ”

There was no need for Ye Feng to say it, and several people were quite particular about dusting off the dust that did not exist on their clothes, tidying up their clothes, and then followed Ye Feng to Liuyunxuan. Looking at the vast family, Ye Feng was a little embarrassed, instead of being free, it was better to give the silver, he didn't lack this money now.

It would be bad if it was said that he deliberately brought people to eat.

Today's Liuyunxuan was deliberately decorated by Boss Wang, so it can be called a new look. Even the floor at the door was bright, I don't know how many times Feng Er had wiped it. On both sides of the gate, there are two pots of pine bonsai brought by Ye Feng. Coincidentally, the two trees are facing the direction of the door, and the branches sticking out are more like hands, which means "welcoming guests".

Feng Er also wore a new set of clothes today, standing up straight, and looking very energetic. Seeing that Ye Feng was coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "You can be regarded as coming, the owner and the shopkeeper have been waiting for you for a long time, saying that they will immediately go to them as soon as you come, and they are in the hall." These are ......"

"These are my family members, please bring them in and settle them, and I'll go find Boss Wang myself." After speaking, Ye Feng turned back to Zhu and said, "Second sister-in-law, you don't have to give silver, just go in and just find a place to sit down." It's okay to look at the flowers and plants, but it's still a while before you leave the meal. ”

Zhu Shi hurriedly nodded, she had long known that Ye Feng would not be able to let them pay.

Under the leadership of Feng Er, several people entered the hall, but it was the first time they had seen such an arrangement, and they thought that the family could sit at a table.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu said: "This arrangement looks novel, but these positions, can you sit anywhere?" ”

Zhu was about to reply, when he heard Feng Er say: "Yes, you can sit anywhere." ”

After placing several people, Feng Er stood at the door again.

However, when Boss Wang saw Ye Feng coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Oh, why are you so late." Help me see if there is anything that needs to be improved, the magistrate will be here in a while. ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng said: "Okay, it's already good, don't be nervous, just do what you discussed before." It's just that why didn't there be a merit box at the door, and who was sent to guard the first floor? ”

Boss Wang patted his head and said, "Look at me, I'm so busy that I forgot about this." What should I do now, and I can't just take money at the entrance. ”

After thinking about it, Ye Feng said: "This is also simple, immediately bring two tables and put them at the entrance of the hall, and put the merit box on the table, I will help you keep it." Anyway, if they want to come in, they have to give money. As for those who go up to the second and third floors, they naturally won't come here to join in the fun, and they won't get confused. ”

Boss Wang said happily: "Thank you, thank you, thank you when the banquet is over." ”

Just do it, and when everything is arranged, Ye Feng will become the toll collector in the hall on the first floor. However, this feeling is also good, and there is a feeling that "if you don't pay for the road", you won't be allowed to go in.

Although the Huang family was sitting in the hall, eating some pastries and snacks hard, his eyes were always staring at Ye Feng. God, what is the relationship between this Boss Wang and Ye Feng, and he is actually relieved to let Ye Feng collect the money.

One after another, many people came to the first floor, listening to the sound of silver crashing in the merit box, Ye Feng was very satisfied, no matter how much income he earned today, half of it would always be donated to the Salesian Bureau.

In this way, it can help those poor babies somewhat.

Ye Feng understood in his heart that except for the few representatives from all walks of life who were going to discuss with Bai Zhi County for a while, the rest of the people on the first floor voluntarily signed up to participate in the banquet. Anyway, according to Zhao Da's shopkeeper, after his publicity, the location on the first floor is simply hard to find.

No, it's only about eleven o'clock, and the first floor is almost full.

After a while, officials of different levels came one after another, surrounded by families and servants. When these officials came, they didn't cause much of a sensation, people just hid behind Ye Feng and looked at it from a distance, and at the end they chatted a few words.

But when the ladies and ladies passed through the hall, it was very lively. The Huang family squeezed forward even more. Seeing that those who were blocking in front of her refused to let her, Huang said: "Let Rang, let Rang, I have something to do with my brother?" ”

Someone squeezed and asked, "Who is your brother?" ”

"That's the one at the front, see? Don't let me soon, I have something, it's hard to say if it's delayed. ”

As soon as everyone looked at Ye Feng, they knew that this must be Boss Wang's henchman, so they hurriedly let the Huang family squeeze forward.

Ye Feng didn't know that he had become the Huang family's "shield", and when he saw her squeezing to stand beside him, he asked: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here, your position will be occupied for a while, and I can't help you." ”

"I want to see what these official ladies and wives are wearing. The man who was sitting next to me just now said that he was dressed like us, and I thought, how is it possible, they must be wearing gold and silver. I just looked at it, but it's not, I don't know what the face is made of, it's bright, it's just good-looking. Huang looked envious.

One plan didn't work, Ye Feng thought of another plan: "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, the magistrate is about to arrive, and when he comes, the banquet will officially begin." You don't know yet, today's dishes are all arranged in a row, and you can pick up whatever you like. You hurry back and tell the eldest brother to tell them, let them take the bowl first, and pick up what they like as soon as the food comes up, but it will be eaten up when it is late. Especially those that are expensive, the amount is not much. ”

Ye Feng was really afraid of the Huang family's frivolity, and he might cause something. Which of those wives and ladies and officials, big and small, is easy to mess with?

Sure enough, there's nothing more tempting than getting a head start. As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, the Huang family was gone. When he went back, he lowered his voice and said what Ye Feng said to a few people again.

Ye Shi rolled his eyes in his heart and did not answer. Anyway, it was inconvenient for her to squeeze, and she had Chen Jixing and Ye Ermei to help.

Everyone saw that the Huang family was holding plates and bowls, and they looked dazed.

However, a few wise women seemed to sense something, and they also took the dishes and chopsticks in advance, and they decided what Huang did, and they followed suit. Just kidding, someone's younger brother must know something about doing things here.

One after another, some officials also came, but they were all unusually kind today. When he saw someone watching, he waved his hand to the onlookers on the first floor, and he was very happy. Like beating chicken blood, he happily declared that he had waved at him just now, and he felt that two taels of silver were worth it, and he finally saw the big official.

By the time Bai Zhixian arrived, the atmosphere of Liuyunxuan had reached its peak.

First, the sound of firecrackers sounded at the door, and then, I saw Bai Zhixian walking in with Gu Xixi's hand.

Seeing the eager eyes of the onlookers on the first floor, Bai Zhixian knew that he had come to the right place today. Mrs. Qin's words couldn't help but ring in her ears, and for a moment she felt that it was really an old witch, and she had calculated everything.

In this case, you have to behave well.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhixian took Gu Xixi's hand and stopped, and said cordially to the onlookers: "Folks, hello everyone, we want to thank Boss Wang of Liuyunxuan for providing everyone with such an opportunity. I'll be on the second floor in a moment, and if you have any questions or problems, you can come up to me, and I'll do my best to help you solve them. ”

After speaking, he pulled Gu Xixi and left.

Hearing this, the crowd immediately erupted in earth-shattering applause, and those pre-elected deputies took the lead in shouting slogans. For a while, slogans such as "Qingtian is in the world" sounded, and Bai Zhixian was overjoyed when he heard it.

These men have no money, and they cannot give him any benefit. However, when the big exam was three years later, if they could shout like this, coupled with the political capital provided to him by Zhenbao Zhai, then what was he worried about?

Last time, I only blamed him for waking up too late.

And next time, he won't miss it.

However, Gu Xixi and Ye Feng, the two of them looked at each other for a moment. Ye Feng took care of her, but he felt that she looked so gentle, and he didn't know what his mother looked like.

And Gu Xi looked at Ye Feng, but thought that if that child was not lost, it should be the same size as Ye Feng. It's just that Ye Feng came out to do things at a young age, and the conditions for coming to the house are not very good.

Back and forth, both of them looked at each other a few more times.

Seeing that Gu Xixi was looking at himself again, Ye Feng knew that it was rude to stare at Mrs. Renzhi County like this, so he quickly looked away.

When Bai Zhixian was seated, a chef walked out and shouted to the still excited and noisy crowd in the hall: "Folks, everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet." I'm the chef of Liuyunxuan, and I'm making today's dish. Today, instead of following the previous table-by-table model, we immediately bring out all the dishes and put them on this row of tables. After a while, when the dishes are ready, you line up to get the dishes from this side in turn, and take the dishes you like to eat in turn. Don't crowd it, if it's not enough, we'll continue to cook. When we're done, we'll have a big pot of noodle soup to serve. ”

With that, he stood at the table where the meal was prepared to maintain order.

The Huang family was even more happy, but fortunately, they had already taken the dishes and chopsticks after listening to Ye Feng's words. Now, as soon as the chef's words fell, she led a few people to stand behind him and began to line up.

Mrs. Liu was also in the queue.

Originally, she could sit and wait for her son and daughter-in-law to help her, but as soon as she heard what Huang said, she felt very interesting and insisted on trying it.

Everyone saw that Mrs. Liu was so old that they were honestly standing in the line and patiently waiting for the dishes to be served, and they were no longer crowded.
