Lu Yao was asking someone to help, but Lu Mingyi learned the news, he personally found Lu Yao and suggested: "Ah Yao, since you want to set up a banquet at noon, why don't you just set up a flowing water banquet!"

"Flowing water table?" Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment and said, "How many tables will you probably have to set up?" ”

Lu Mingyi thought for a while and said: "The problem of ingredients is easy to solve, a few villagers went out to sea to fish in the morning, and we will collect their seafood when the time comes." ”

"As for the vegetables, it's very simple, just pick them directly from the ground, and how much money you spend is converted to them. Chef's words, didn't Ming Shun come back? Let him close the restaurant for a day today. ”

"Let's go to the guest house and set up dozens of tables of flowing water seats, so that the tourists in the village can also have a lively time, how about spending a part of the village at that time?"

Lu Mingyi mainly saw that the tour group came to the village today, and they had to eat when they came back at noon, and now the guest house was preparing to make lunch for them.

If it weren't for hearing that Lu Yao was also asking someone to help set up the banquet, Lu Mingyi would not have the idea of setting up a flowing banquet.

When Lu Yao heard Lu Mingyi's proposal, he pondered it in his heart, and felt that there was really a big deal at this time, but in fact, this was also advertising Xiasha Village in disguise.

He estimated that it wouldn't cost a few dollars, so he nodded and said, "Uncle, I think so, just do as you say, let's go to Uncle Ming Shun to discuss what is still missing? ”

Immediately, the two of them walked towards Lu Mingshun's hotel, which had just been renovated for two days.

He was about to take advantage of the large number of tourists in the village today to prepare for the opening, when he suddenly saw Lu Mingyi and Lu Yao coming to the door together, Lu Mingshun asked curiously, "Why do you two have time to come to the door?"

Lu Mingyi said his intention, and suddenly Lu Mingshun's face was a little hesitant, which completely conflicted with his plan to open today.

Once this flowing water seat is set up, it will be busy for at least half a day, and the most important thing is that the tourists have gone to eat the flowing water seat, who will come to eat in their own restaurant?

Lu Mingyi has been the village chief for decades, and he is usually very shrewd, so he naturally sees what Lu Mingshun is worried about.

"Mingshun, don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, the village will give you the chef's money. In addition, you can also advertise your hotel on the spot, and if the flowing table is successful, it will definitely bring a lot of business to your hotel. ”

Since the village chief had already said so, Lu Mingshun was naturally not easy to refuse, he pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll get ready, but it's less than two hours before lunch, and I may not be able to do it alone, so I'll have to arrange a few more people to help. ”

Lu Mingyi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Don't worry, I'll assign you a dozen helpers, if you see what else you need, just ask, I'll prepare." ”

Next, the three of them gathered together to discuss the matter of the banquet, the authentic flowing water seat is characterized by sour, hot and clear mouth, a total of 24 dishes, divided into eight cold and 16 hot.

However, this time in Xiasha Village is going to be different, because the time is too urgent, and the chef is not enough, it is definitely impossible to serve 24 dishes, usually 8 people per table and 10 dishes are about the same.

Although there are fewer dishes, the specifications and quality of the dishes cannot be reduced. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, Xiasha Village is by the sea, so it is natural to focus on seafood products.

Lobsters, crabs, oysters, and all kinds of marine fish are available, and they are certainly not as big as those carefully selected in the market, but they are full.

But a table of dishes can't be purely seafood, you have to take into account the appetite of some people who are not used to eating seafood, and prepare additional braised chicken and braised pork, and stir-fry a few green vegetables, which is enough.

Lu Yao's assigned task was to buy pork, and it happened that his off-road vehicle was big enough, and it would not be a problem to pack three or five hundred catties of pork in the trunk.

In fact, it doesn't take that much at all, even if all the tourists plus the people in the village will not exceed five hundred, and a table of forty or fifty is almost the same.

The time is a bit rushed, and there are so many tables that Lu Mingshun can't be busy with as a chef, and he also has to ask someone to help.

It just so happened that he had often helped people from several other villages in the town to hold banquets before, so he knew many of his peers, and he would usually call each other for help when he was too busy.

Lu Mingshun was no exception this time, and directly called five cooks to come over to help, and each person was responsible for stir-frying, three hundred a day for one person, including meals.

Lu Mingyi began to beckon the people in the village who were idle and had nothing to do, and began to move out the Eight Immortal Tables in their own homes, and all of them were moved to the open space outside the guest house.

The area is no smaller than the square, and I heard that the hotel built by the tourism company and the Manching Hotel will be built here, but it is still in the design stage, and the official construction has not yet started, but everything that should be cleaned around has been cleaned up.

Fortunately, there are many people who have returned to the village to work in recent times, otherwise they will leave behind the old and weak, women and children, and no one will do such manual work.

The women of each family began to go back to their own vegetable fields to pick vegetables, and finally Lu Mingchang, the village accountant, registered the quantity, and subsidized the vegetables for each family when the time came.

The picked vegetables are concentrated outside the built greenhouse for unified cleaning, and inside the greenhouse is ten cauldrons lined up, and each chef is responsible for two pots at that time.

In addition, there are rows of simple chopping boards made of dismantled doors or various wooden boards, which are specially used to place dishes, chopsticks, and plates.

As the saying goes, there are many people to do things, and in less than half an hour, all the things needed for this flowing water mat have been prepared.

Some tourists who have not gone to sea heard that the village is going to hold a large flowing water banquet at noon to entertain everyone for free, and they also spontaneously ran over to help.

Some of them are helping to set up the dishes and chopsticks, some are washing and chopping vegetables, and some are taking photos and videos with their mobile phones, promoting Xiasha Village on the Internet.

For those who come from the city, I have eaten a lot of banquets at the hotel, but this is the first time I have participated in a real rural banquet, so I thought it was very interesting.

Lu Yao drove to the town to buy pork, some killed chickens, and moved several boxes of various drinks.

Lu Yao didn't plan to prepare the wine, four or five hundred people ate together at noon, if someone drank too much and went crazy, it would be bad.

On the way back, Lu Yao happened to meet Chen Donglin and Lu Yujie who came from the provincial capital, Lu Yao smiled and said to them: "You are lucky, just in time for our village to set up a flowing water banquet at noon, and then eat first, and talk about other things later." ”

Chen Donglin laughed and said: "It seems that we came quite coincidentally, do you have anything to ask us to help with? The trunk of our car is still in the air." ”
