In the early morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Fuwang was lively. Today is the day when Zhu Wang gets married.

When he came back from Liuwanli that day, Zhu Wang sent some meat to the Wu family to express his gratitude to Wu Yong. At the same time, I hope that Wu Yong can help make the wedding banquet in a few days.

They are all villagers, and Wu Yong is not easy to refuse, so he agrees.

After Zhu Lidian learned about this, he specially came to Wu's house and instructed Wu Yong: "This time Zhu Wang's wedding banquet, you must do it beautifully, what is missing, just tell me, I will prepare." You don't have to worry about anything, just do it, and our folks will help when the time comes. ”

Wu Yong didn't know why, so he asked with a smile: "Uncle, what does this mean?" It's just a simple wedding banquet, I'm alone, and two more helpers, it's almost fine. Why bother. ”

Zhu Lidian shook his head and sighed: "You haven't been back for long, and some things may not be clear. I won't hide it from you, so I'll tell you the truth. In recent years, the weather has been changeable, and our fields here are basically middle and low-grade, so the grain is often poor, and several families in the family have said that they are good, so they have been withdrawn inexplicably. Therefore, I want to use this wedding banquet to show outsiders that our current life is no worse than any other. ”

Wu Yong was in awe after hearing this, it is really difficult to see that a lidian can work for the villagers to such an extent.

Therefore, he patted his chest and assured Zhu Lidian: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will definitely handle it carefully at this time, and he will not lose face in our recovery." ”

After Zhu Lidian left satisfied, Wu Yong began to plan everything for the wedding banquet.

In the past few days, Wu Yong has been thinking and meditating for a long time according to the large number of ingredients that can be found at present, and confirmed the number of guests with Zhu Wang and his family, and finally determined 30 tables, with 12 people sitting at each table and 18 dishes!

When Father Zhu saw the menu planned by Wu Yong, there were not only chicken, fish, meat and eggs, but also all kinds of green vegetables and bean food, and he suddenly had a bitter face, and said with some frustration: "Virtuous nephew, let's change it, my family can't afford such a big expense!" ”

Wu Yong had no choice but to take the menu and ask Zhu Lidian's opinion.

When Zhu Lidian first saw the menu of these eighteen dishes, he was also shocked on the spot, but finally decided: "Just follow this menu!" As for the ingredients, you go to Li Tiandian and borrow them from the villagers first. If there is still something missing, you go to Ren Laosan to discuss, he now goes to Wancheng every day to kill pigs and knows a lot of people. ”

Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare me for fifty tables, I will show my face, go to the head of the family with the five surnames to help, let them help, and invite some people with heads and faces in the nearby townships to come to our Fuwangli for a banquet." ”

Wu Yong was a little embarrassed, and talked about the table, bench, dishes, chopsticks, plates and spoons.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Lidian waved his hand and said: "Tables and benches are ready-made in each family, and they will be seconded when the time comes, and they will be used." As for the dishes, chopsticks, plates and spoons, some time ago, I ordered a batch, which was originally intended to be distributed to various families, and now it is just the right time. ”

Wu Yong admires him so much that he is a five-body caster, and it seems that not everyone can be a pawn here. The size of this Zhu Lidian is so small that people can't find any faults.

In this way, the two separated, each busy with their own business.

What Wu Yong didn't know was that the head of the family with the fifth surname himself didn't plan to be present this time, after all, it was just a junior getting married, and they could send a family representative over, which was already enough to save face.

However, Zhu Lidian suddenly came to the door, saying that he had prepared a banquet with eighteen dishes, and they were also interested, and threatened on the spot that they would invite more people close to them to come, and even asked Zhu Lidian if there was anything he needed help with.

But Zhu Lidian politely declined, he didn't want to use the power of others to organize the wedding banquet in Fuwangli.

Fast forward a few days, and everything is ready.

Wu Yong thought that he was the busiest person today, so he also got up early in the morning. However, when he arrived at the newly built stove of Zhu Wang's house, he found six unexpected people busy handling the ingredients.

"Why are you here?" Wu Yong asked with some surprise. The six of them were the cooks he knew when he was teaching food at the banquet in Taishoufu.

All six of them stopped what they were doing and greeted Wu Yong. Among them, two of them are from the Taishou Mansion, two are from the Anzhonghou Mansion, and two are from the Zongzheng Mansion.

One of them, a chef surnamed Zhao from Taishou Mansion, said with a smile: "A few days ago, I learned from Master Ren that the little chef was going to try to make new dishes again, so I couldn't wait to come over and learn." ”

"That's a real request!" Wu Yong laughed. He also knew that this was an excuse for the six to come over and help, after all, if they were really just learning to cook, there was no need for them to come over and suffer today.

With the help of six cooks, Wu Yong doesn't need to do it at all, just need to command. Both sides have already worked together to make a lot of dishes, and this is even more handy.

When Zhu Wang's family heard the identities of the six cooks, they all hurried over to thank them.

The six cooks also wanted to give some gift money, but Zhu's father resolutely refused to accept it, so he gave up.

As time passed, more and more people came to Fuwang.

I don't know what went wrong, but before ten o'clock the table was full of fifty guests.

Seeing that there was still an influx of outsiders, Zhu Lidian had no choice but to let people add more tables.

When the food was about to be served at noon, he counted, good fellow, there are almost eighty tables of guests, and this is still the result of withdrawing ten tables of villagers in Fuwangli, otherwise there will be ninety tables of guests, almost catching up with the population in their Fuwang.

Zhu Wang rode to Liuwan early in the morning to pick up the bride, accompanied by a sedan chair and a sedan chair driver. It will take at least two or three hours to come and go.

With the explosion of firecrackers, it means that Zhu Wang has returned from his relatives, which also indicates that it is time for the banquet.

Wu Yong was very curious about this firecracker sound, and deliberately ran to take a look, which suddenly made him a little embarrassed, this is the real firecracker sound!

I saw that section of bamboo, as someone roasted it on the fire, suddenly made a crackling sound!

It really opened his eyes, and it turned out that the sound of firecrackers had begun to be used for happy events in the Han Dynasty.

"Eat!" Zhu Lidian shouted, and immediately everyone began to mobilize and serve the cold dishes prepared in advance.

Then, as the various dishes were served, exclamations were heard everywhere.

The dishes at the banquet were an eye-opener for everyone who came to the wedding banquet, and every dish was something they had never heard of or seen.

"Good fellows! It's actually bean food and fish, which is too luxurious! It's hard for nobles to eat, but we've picked up a big bargain today! A guest was secretly stunned when he saw the fish stew and tofu that was served.

Everyone has heard of bean food lately, but few people have eaten it, and now they are surprised to see it at a wedding banquet in the countryside.

Tofu is rare, but in fact, this fish is similar. Nowadays, people have a very obsessive affection for fish and meat, and few people can eat it during non-major festivals. In order to make a living, ordinary people catch big fish and sell them in the market, and some people don't know the taste of fish for many years.

The fish and meat for this banquet were bought by Ren Laosan from a familiar businessman after spending a lot of money.

Because of its rarity, everyone will be surprised by this fish stewed tofu.

"And this mutton, I don't know what mutton can do, what is this one by one, it tastes strong and refreshing, and it is full of fragrance. In particular, the sour taste makes people appetize. ”

If Wu Yong is next to him, he will know that this is talking about mutton stewed hemp dumplings, which is a classic way to eat in later generations.

"This pork is delicious, I was fortunate to taste mutton in Guangming Township, compared to mutton, this pork is softer and rotten, and it is more suitable for a certain appetite!"

A guest ate chopsticks one after another, for fear that he would eat less if he was slower, and at the same time couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue, what is going on in this re-hope, how can he become so rich if he doesn't come for a month.

"It's nothing, you look at this bowl of soup, the round stuff in it is so delicious, what the hell is this made of, I feel like I can't eat anything else."

"I didn't think duck meat could be eaten like this! How this duck meat is grilled! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, dip in some sauce, so that people can eat a bite and have an endless aftertaste. ”

"Haha, this big meat skin is the most suitable for a certain appetite, one bite down, the mouth is full of oil, it is really satisfying!"

The guests all expressed their opinions, and they felt that the wedding reception was really worth it. At the same time, I felt a little reluctant to go, thinking that I ate so well, so I followed that little gift money, and it didn't look good!

"Will this Zhu Wang's family lose money? I was a little embarrassed to eat so well for us, and I was only twenty dollars just now. ”

"Well, probably not, I heard that these foods are made by Wu Yong in them, and the ingredients are not valuable, it is really rare to be able to make this effect!"

"I just heard that Zhu Wang's family also invited the cooks of the Taishou Mansion and the Hou Mansion to make these things, I wonder if it's true?"

"It's true! One of the cooks I know, she works in the Taishou Mansion, I have sent ingredients to the Taishou Mansion, and I have met her. ”

The crowd was amazed again, and then someone put forward a different opinion.

"You've all noticed the eating, don't you see that the table, chair and bench are the point? I'm willing to bet that this kind of hospitality will soon spread, and if anyone has a happy event in the future, they will have to entertain guests like this! ”

"Scared! When you say that, it's really like this, I want to find someone to make a set after I go back, and stay at home for dinner! ”

"Hey! I don't care about these, I'm afraid that someone will compare this wedding banquet in the future, we little people have a few banquets that can put down eighteen dishes, if the woman insists on this, our life is really unbearable! ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and some even began to sigh.

Of course, there are some people who are indifferent to this, but they just feel that something is wrong with today's dishes.

"I'll talk about these things later, I just think that the food at this wedding banquet feels so little, I haven't eaten a few bites of eighteen dishes, and they are gone in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the fact that this relief bun was enough, and the dishes were all ready, I would still be hungry. ”
