On the day of the birthday ceremony, shortly after six o'clock in the morning, Luo Jiang's house gradually began to be lively. The neighbors who helped saw that there was movement in the main house, and they went out to Luo Jiang's house to help, and there were several tables for breakfast, so they had to prepare quickly.

The juniors of the Luo family came to the door of Grandma Luo's room in full bloom under the dress of their parents, and the two daughters-in-law of the Luo family were waiting for Grandma Luo's dressing, washing her face, and brushing her teeth, and the three daughters were working on the side, and Luo Jiang didn't even have the opportunity to serve tea and pour water.

After a while, Grandma Luo, who had cleaned up, slowly walked out with a gold-painted dragon head cane, sat down on the right hand of the Eight Immortals table in the hall, and watched the children and grandchildren kowtow one after another. Luo Jiang prepared a box of red envelopes in advance and put them on the table, Grandma Luo could get them with a raised hand, and the red envelopes were all brand new unity, and everyone had a share.

The first meal in the morning was simple and exquisite, and the meals on the dozen tables were all made by the village party secretary himself, fresh and spicy, and the taste was better than what Luo Jiang had eaten in the outer building.

Grandma Luo put a bowl of clear soup and longevity noodles in front of her, lay a poached egg, and sprinkled some chopped green onions, which is simple. The egg of the fried egg was picked up by Luo's mother from the chicken coop yesterday, and the village party secretary knocked a small hole on the stove, and only to find out that it was a poached egg when he hit it into the pot, which is a good omen!

The bowl of noodles is not ordinary, it is still older than Aunt Luo Jiang, and it is Grandma Luo's dowry. The bottom of the bowl is a red lotus flower, and the two carp swimming on the wall of the bowl are very festive, and the fish in the soup seem to be alive when you look at it.

After eating, I started to get really busy, lunch was scheduled to start at 12 o'clock, tea would be made at about 11 o'clock, and the guests should come at a little after 10 o'clock.

Luo Jiang put a warning sign five hundred meters before and after the road, with eight big characters in black pen on a red background: There is joy ahead, slow down and go slowly. The people who hold banquets on the side of the road do this, and the drivers are also very cooperative, and they will not honk their horns in case of traffic jams, because the host will send red envelopes to apologize for traffic jams.

Despite this, the Luo family still led the children to sprinkle water every half an hour, after all, the guests came to eat wine, not to eat ashes.

The fog is very heavy in the morning of late autumn, and if the sun can come out on a foggy day, it will be a sunny day, otherwise it will be gloomy all day. From nine o'clock, the sun slowly showed a smiling face from the clouds, and the fog all over the world dissipated, and today was a good day.

The sun is out on the birthday, and the birthday star is healthy and smooth throughout the year, which is a meaning, and rural people pay attention to these. Everyone who saw Grandma Luo would smile and say a few words of blessing, and Grandma Luo was also very happy.

After the sun came out, the temperature also came up, Luo Haojiang breathed a sigh of relief, it was still quite cold at ten degrees, and the outdoor guests had to prepare a charcoal pot to roast the fire. There are nearly forty charcoal pots, in case a child plays with firecrackers or something, it is easy to get into trouble. The weather forecast says that the maximum temperature today is 26 degrees, and it seems that there is no need for a charcoal basin, and you can be more comfortable when eating.

There were more and more guests, and the Luo Qing brothers who were responsible for setting off firecrackers had a layer of firecracker ash on their bodies, and Luo Jiang sent a few hats in time, although they were all ladies', it was always good to have hats to wear.

The banquet is to let the guests eat and drink enough, enter the door with a cup of tea to warm up, the Luo family has prepared poker, bridge, mahjong, those who don't know each other, get together with four people to open a table, there are always a few staff officers standing next to them.

It's the same when eating tea, individual customers are ready to eat, and people who play cards think peanuts, melon seeds, and fruit plates are in the way, so they directly give the Luo family a dried fruit gift bag packed in a packaging bag in advance, of course, this is also everyone's share.

The firecrackers kept going, Grandma Luo's little red envelopes were also endless, and the guests who should have come at eleven o'clock had almost arrived, and the old village chief read a birthday greeting and announced the opening of the meal.

The first dish must be shou mein, from the elderly to the children like to eat noodles, a large pot of noodles will not be long after you can see the pattern at the bottom of the bowl. The kitchen hurriedly made a second course, and the little brother in charge of serving the dishes went out with a tray full of plates, and came back with a tray full of empty bowls.

The aunts who were in charge of washing the dishes hurriedly removed the empty bowls, wiped the trays clean and placed them on the board, helped the kitchen lift the lid of the pot that was open in the cauldron, and separated the stir-fry dishes that were kept warm in it with a big spoon.

The Luo family prepared twelve dishes this time, and the rural vegetable bowl was full and could be divided into two plates, so the amount should be enough.

Chicken, duck and fish are mandatory, meat can only be beef and pork, mutton and dog meat cannot be used to entertain guests. The first two dishes must be appetizing chili dishes, chopped duck meat and chili stir-fried meat are the first choice, followed by a dish of green vegetables to remove the greasy, the more you go to the back, the more big dishes, and the last dish has to be green vegetables with less oil and salt, so that the feast is enjoyable.

The Luo family was not stingy with the money to buy vegetables, nearly ten yuan a pound of red peppers bought a few sacks, and the lotus root was dug out of a pond, which was so fresh, and the cooks were saying that if there was something left after the banquet, they would buy it. The Luo family didn't agree, and dug out the lotus root in half a pond, and then each family sent a dozen catties, how could they ask the villagers to pay for it.

Basically, there is no need for tea when holding banquets in rural areas, and the host's family prepares wine. Grandma Luo's 90th birthday banquet prepared peanut milk, orange juice, Sprite, Cola, beer, and liquor just for drinks.

In the middle of the meal, the old village chief took the five brothers and sisters of the Luo family out to smoke, regardless of adults and children, they were all one pack of white sand cigarettes per person, and the old aunt who smoked would give two more to pass the mouth. The smoke was prepared separately by Luo Haojiang and Luo Wujiang, representing the intention of being a son. The three daughters prepared birthday gift bags, and each of them prepared sixty-six tables, so many things that the Luo family couldn't put down, and they hired a big truck to deliver them this morning.

The gift was handed out by the five brothers and sisters of the Luo family with both hands respectfully, and the guests stood up and took it with both hands, adults and children alike, and the old village chief would smoke it with a cigarette stick when they received something with one hand. Of course, the old village chief's cigarette stick has always been pinned to his waist, and he hasn't had a chance to take it down today. Children can also draw gourds in the same way.

The braised pork is the main dish, the braised pork banquet is almost over, the braised pork of the Luo family has been steamed for a long time, the meat skin is fat but not greasy, the fat meat melts in the mouth, the lean meat is chewy, and everyone has added a bowl of rice, and the sauce cannot be wasted.

Originally, the last vegetarian dish was chicken ribs, but the village party secretary used bone soup to eat the radish, and the bone broth that had been boiled for a long time turned white, and the large radish became transparent. The bite is soft, the drink is sweet in the mouth, the guests who are full of food unbutton the unbutton, the loose belt of the loose belt, and the direct food support.
