Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 110 Marriage in Yuan Day 2

If Wu Yong heard this, he would definitely be embarrassed, because he had prepared fifty tables of ingredients according to Zhu Lidian's instructions, but he didn't expect that eighty tables of guests would come!

Helpless, Wu Yong could only reduce the amount of the main dish and add more side dishes.

For example, there is a cold pork head meat, which was originally intended to be eaten entirely with meat, but it turned out to be half of the radish slices and half of the meat slices.

The eighteen dishes at this banquet are basically made in this way, so the guests will feel that the amount of dishes is a little small.

This is not Zhu Wang's stinginess, they didn't know that there would be so many guests, they originally only planned to hold thirty tables of banquets, and even half of the guests were almost all villagers in Fuwangli.

In the end, it was Zhu Lidian who decided to open fifty tables, but no one expected that there would be eighty tables of guests in the end. It can be seen that throughout the ages, people have always had a soft spot for what they eat.

However, although the amount of dishes is a bit small, everyone eats with relish and is very addicted.

The first is that the banquet in Fuwang today makes them feel novel, one table, four benches, everyone gets together, while eating their favorite dishes, while talking and laughing, the atmosphere is very good.

The second is that most of these dishes are eaten for the first time. Each dish made them get carried away and made them linger for a long time.

The guests were happy, but Wu Yong and the six cooks were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink saliva. As soon as this dish comes out of the pot, the next dish must be prepared immediately, almost non-stop.

Wu Yong just commanded the side dishes to cook, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

Not to mention the six cooks who had to make 80 tables, and in the end, they were all exhausted.

Even the women serving the food were so tired that they looked out of breath.

However, it was Zhu Lidian who was the busiest today, not only having to deal with the many guests, but also dealing with the guests invited by the heads of the family.

Although these people are all well-known figures in the township, they are also the first time to see these ingredients and dishes, and today they can come, one is to see the face of the head of the five surnames, and the other is to come for the banquet of these eighteen dishes.

After tasting it, they were full of praise for each dish. Especially this way of feasting guests, it makes their eyes shine even more.

They all agreed that this way of eating together was more relaxing than sitting on your knees and then eating your own meal.

Therefore, when Zhu Lidian came here, he was immediately stopped by everyone and asked one after another.

"Zhu Lidian, you hide deep enough! I didn't expect you to do such an earth-shattering thing quietly, if you don't say that you are ugly today, don't blame me for being small, next time you have a banquet in Fuwang, we won't come. ”

"This brother is right! If Zhu Lidian hadn't told me how to wait for these dishes, we would have gone to his house today and not left. ”

"Yes, Zhu Lidian, you can't eat alone in Fuwangli, they are all villagers, if you are the only one here to make such a banquet, let me wait for how to entertain guests in the future!"

The more everyone talked, the more outrageous it became, some people were joking, talking casually, and some people really hoped that Zhu Lidian could pass on these dishes and they could also get a piece of the pie.

Zhu Lidian naturally didn't dare to offend them at will, so he smiled bitterly: "You also think too highly of me Zhu, these dishes are all made by Wu Yong in our Fuwang, and even the way of feasting guests is also proposed by him." ”

After hearing this, a group of people looked at each other, and immediately someone asked tentatively: "But that Wu Yong, who was only twelve years old, had been wandering too empty, inventing bread and noodles to relieve worries, and vowing to help the homeless, and who could become a poem in five steps?" ”

"That's him!" Zhu Lidian nodded.

The crowd suddenly began to make noise like a fryer.

"What a man! I heard that Taishou took him very seriously, and he visited him several times. ”

"The news I heard was that he taught the homeless people to cook Taixu food, which was appreciated by King Chen. said that after he won the crown, he could go to Chen Guo to choose a position! ”

"This is a proper prodigy! I don't know if it's a marriage match, if not, the little girl happens to be twelve years old, beautiful and well-behaved, but it is very compatible with him. ”

This sentence was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and it exploded suddenly. Everyone began to recommend their daughters and nieces.

Hearing this, Zhu Lidian broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly shirked and said that he couldn't be the master.

Everyone was a little regretful, but they also knew that this matter could not be forced, not to mention that there were five family heads watching from the sidelines, so they could only give up.

At this time, someone began to change the topic, and asked Wu Yong to help make the banquet on the spot.

"I will convey your kindness to Wu Yong. As for those who want to learn how to feast, you can also come to my review. Zhu Lidian didn't refuse this time, he didn't want to do too much, and he didn't intend to prevent Wu Yong from passing on the banquet to outsiders.

"Zhu Lidian is righteous!" Everyone praised Zhu Lidian one after another.

Zhu Lidian spoke to them again, and then left, and went to another place to continue entertaining the guests.

Although he was very busy, he was very happy, and as soon as this kind of banquet spread today, they could be said to have gained fame and fortune in their recollection!

For example, when he first came to this table, someone immediately asked, "Zhu Lidian, are there any unmarried men in your Fuwang?" ”

Zhu Lidian was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and immediately introduced a few young men to this person.

Next, many guests asked Zhu Lidian on the spot if there were any eligible young people, who were happy to marry their daughters after eating the banquet in Fuwangli now.

After a few times, Zhu Lidian was a little big-headed, so he simply invited the parents of these unmarried teenagers over and asked them to talk on their own.

Originally, the villagers in Fuwang were very envious of Zhu Wang's family, and at the same time regretted it very much, they all knew that Zhu Wang's family could have today's grand banquet, all thanks to Wu Yong and Zhu Lidian's great efforts.

When Zhu Wang's family received the gift money, many people stood aside and saw it clearly.

The head of the family with the five surnames gave the most, and each of them contributed 200 yuan. Most of the people who were invited by the head of the family with the fifth surname paid between fifty and one hundred yuan. Most of the remaining guests paid between twenty and fifty dollars.

They roughly estimated that Zhu Wang's family received at least 50,000 yuan in gift money this time, which was equivalent to their family's income for ten years. And that's not even counting the gifts brought by the guests, which are worth a lot of money.

Let these families with unmarried men regret it immediately. But now I hear that many rich and noble families want to marry the people in Fuwang, and I am immediately overjoyed.

If you don't say that the ancients were smart, those who have daughters can marry the men in Fuwang, but those who have sons can also marry the little lady in Fuwang.

Therefore, a good wedding banquet will immediately become a blind date banquet.

Zhu Lidian was also happy to see it come to fruition and did not participate too much.

But Liu Lidian in Liuwan, not far away, was in an extremely unhappy mood.

Seeing Zhu Lidian being praised like the stars and the moon, this made Liu Lidian, who came to participate, so jealous that his eyes were red. But in front of so many people, he couldn't do anything, just smiled reluctantly.

The feast lasted until about 2 p.m., when the guests left.

What made Wu Yong speechless the most was that there were no leftovers left at today's eighty table banquet. Even the soup was divided among the guests.

After the feast, many villagers didn't even drink the soup. Fortunately, they are all from the same township, and they don't care.

Seeing that it was a little late, the six cooks said goodbye, and they had to rush back to Wancheng while it was dark.

Wu Yong wanted to send them off, but they refused. Even the thank you gifts from Zhu Wang's family were also dismissed by them one by one.

"The little chef doesn't have to send it, we specially found a familiar driver to pick it up today, so I won't trouble you."

Wu Yong could only give up, and said with a smile: "Thank you for a few uncles and aunts today, there will be a new way to eat in the future, the kid will write it down and let Ren Laosan give it to you." ”

"Hee-hee, then thank you little chef." The six cooks left satisfied.

Wu Yong was found by Zhu Lidian again and went to see off the last guest together.

The reason why the heads of the five surnamed families left last was because they wanted to see Wu Yong. But Wu Yong has been busy in the kitchen.

Therefore, before leaving, he specially called Wu Yong to him and warned him a few words.

"You should be low-key in the future, you are still young, don't rush to progress. Think twice when you encounter something, it's not a good thing to be famous too early! It will be attacked and annihilated by a lot of people. ”

Wu Yong could only nod, in fact, he didn't want to do this, but the matter found him, and he couldn't say anything if he didn't make a contribution.

After the head of the family with the five surnames left, the guests were almost gone, and the villagers in Fuwang began to help Zhu Wang's family clean up the mess.

Since all the ingredients were entertained to the guests, this made Zhu's father very embarrassed.

Everyone also understood this and didn't say much.

The success of Zhu Wang's family also means that they will follow in the future, there are not several families with sons, who have already made a family appointment with someone, as long as they exchange each other's birthdays, they can give a dowry.

After everyone left, Zhu Wang's house suddenly became deserted.

At this time, Zhu Wang was counting the gift money with his family, and Zhu's father drove him to the cave room several times, but he didn't drive him away, so he could only let him stay.

After counting the money, the family was stunned, there were 56,347 yuan!

After a long time, Zhu's father spoke: "Tomorrow, we will pay off the debts owed by each family first, and give Zhu Lidian 500 yuan, Li Tiandian 500 yuan, and then send 1,000 yuan to Wu Yong's family." ”

Later, he promised to give Zhu Wang some money for their newlyweds to live in the future. Only then did Zhu Wang excitedly go to the cave room.

After he lifted the bride's red hijab, Liu Xiaoniang asked with some confusion: "Why did the husband come here so late?" ”

Zhu Wang talked about what happened today and said about the gift money, and then he said a little impatiently: "My father said that he would buy me a cow and leave it for me to use in the future." ”

Then he said a little depressedly: "But my father still has to give Wu Yong's family a thousand dollars." ”

Liu Xiaoniang frowned and said: "Since the banquet is so popular, the concubine feels that her husband might as well take this opportunity to propose to Wu Yong that she want to learn to make a banquet, I feel that this banquet will not earn less than farming in the future." ”
