Gradually, when it was almost noon, Silly Zhu had almost prepared the meal, and the table in the courtyard had already been cleaned up, just waiting for the food to be served.

This time the full moon wine, the Jia family was well prepared, and Silly Zhu also showed his ability, wanting to earn a face in front of the neighbors in the yard.

Two pots, one person wandering around in front of the pot, and in half a noon, he made four meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes, and two cold dishes.

The meat dishes are stir-fried meat with cabbage, stir-fried meat with mushrooms, stir-fried meat and boiled pork slices, which are multiplied on small plates.

The vegetarian dish is spicy cabbage, dried distilled shredded potatoes, stewed vermicelli with radish, fried eggplant, served in a large bowl.

The cold dish is the pickled cabbage contributed by the stupid pillar, the pickled radish of the first aunt, and the two plates are full.

Finally, there is a pot of Erhe noodles per table, which is large and filling.

The pots and bowls borrowed from each family were filled with food one by one, and they waited for someone to come and serve the table.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao made two meat buns at home, and the palm-sized white flour steamed buns were baked in the oil pot, with a half-inch thick fat residue in the middle, and a layer of Pixian bean paste was smeared on top, and a few cabbage leaves were sandwiched, which tasted full of oil, crispy and dry.

Holding a small bench, Yang Xiaotao sat at the door, with a meat bun in one hand, and a kettle beside him, eating and watching at the same time.

There is quite a posture of showing movies and watching big dramas in the village.

In the middle courtyard, the five tables that had been put together had been set up, and Jia Zhang saw that the time was not early, so he urged people to help set up the dishes.

With the help of the first and second aunts, the food was served quickly, He Yushui also came over to serve tea and pour water, and several people quickly brought the dishes to the table.

Jia Zhang looked at the festive atmosphere, and the little bit of slamming in his heart was much lighter.

Originally, the cost of a table was calculated to be less than three yuan, but when I started cooking, I found that the ingredients prepared were not enough at all.

Full moon wine is used to eating noodles, so the original wowotou was replaced with noodles made of white noodles, which cost twenty catties.

Considering that there was not enough to eat, some vegetables were added, but fortunately, the meat was not added.

However, there was wine on the table, and after all these calculations, there were more than five yuan per table.

Five tables twenty-five or six, but the cost has doubled.

Fortunately, these people came to eat and earned a lot, especially Yang Xiaotao's twenty yuan, which was earned for nothing.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang's family also let go of his old roots, and his eldest grandson has a full moon, which is to be done brightly.

Let those crooked melons and oblique dates take a look, her Jia family is heroic.

On the other side, the three masters saw that they had already started to serve the food, so they got up and walked to the throne of Yang.

Of course, the three masters took the first step, came to the small table on the side, tidied up their clothes, sat down, and then took out a pen from their pockets, and then opened the red book on the table.

"Yan Laoxi, your business is really timely."

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong joked, Yan Fugui was not annoyed, and raised his head, revealing the appearance of a cultural person.

"No way, I was born to eat this bowl of rice."

"Hurry, I'll write your name first."

Liu Haizhong listened to this very much, this uncle hasn't spoken yet, if his name is written, then he will be the first to leave his name on it.

In the bangs that everything is compared with Yi Zhonghai, he feels that this is very necessary, and only in this way can he show his status in this compound.

So, I didn't think about it, and I didn't have time to greet Uncle Yi, so I even took out five yuan and handed it to Yan Fugui.

Yan Fugui was surprised, it was five yuan when he came up, how much did he let him take?

I was a little surprised, but I was not slow at hand.

"Second uncle, bangs, five yuan of congratulations!"

Bangs watched as he finished writing, then nodded happily and walked towards the main seat.

Jia Dongxu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and Jia Zhang's on the side also showed a smiling face.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai, an uncle, took out ten yuan from his arms.

"Oh, why don't you talk about the grandeur of the uncle."

Yan Fugui said, but he raised his hand to write the name of the first uncle in front of his bangs, which made Yi Zhonghai full of relief.

The ghost is as expensive as Yan Fu, how can he not leave some back?

When he was in the bangs, he deliberately left a little blank in order to please Yi Zhonghai.

In this way, both of them feel that they have face, and both of them are not offended and make good money.

That's the benefit of calculating.

When the Jia family heard that Yi Zhonghai directly gave ten yuan, they immediately walked away from the bangs and came to Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, please, sit down!"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, "Just go and get busy, not an outsider." ”

Jia Dongxu was even happier, but he didn't walk away but respectfully greeted people.

The bangs bowed his head and drank water, and his heart was not a taste.

Today, it's a head shorter again.

I knew I should have given it later.

On the other side, Yan Fugui wrote down his name, then took out a red envelope from his arms, put it into the box proudly, and then wrote his name on the back of his bangs.

"Three masters, Yan Fugui, three pieces!"

These three yuan, but I went to the little daughter's full moon wine, and I won't lose it anyway.

Otherwise, he would feel distressed when he took a piece.

The people around not only did not laugh, but were a little surprised.

When did Yan Laoxi stop slamming the door?

Regardless of everyone's reaction, Yan Fugui felt to himself and waited for the people behind him to come.

Jia Zhang's fingers were pulled and counted, these three families came together, it was eighteen yuan.

It's about to pay off.

Look at the people around you, as long as everyone comes, you will make a lot of money.

However, Yan Fugui sat there in front, waiting left and right, and no one stepped forward.

The strange thing is that the people around them gradually dispersed, and some people went back to the house directly, closed the door and never came out.

Yan Fugui didn't say anything, he was just an accountkeeper, and if others didn't come, he really couldn't care about it.

On the main table, Yi Zhonghai looked at the stupid pillar who was busy and smiled happily, "Pillar, you hurry up and go to the backyard and carry the old lady here." ”

Silly Zhu heard this, nodded with a smile, and was about to run to the backyard, but he remembered something, walked up to Yan Fugui, and took out two yuan, "Third master, write it down." ”

Originally, the stupid pillar was going to take more, but today he is already worthy of the Jia family for this effort, not to mention that there are two yuan of money, which is only a lot more than the three masters.

"Okay."

"He Yuzhu, two yuan."

The third master pulled a long tune, and his voice came out, hoping that the people in the courtyard would come over quickly, and don't let themselves wait too long.

Otherwise, you won't be able to catch up with the hot meal.

The stupid pillar ran away, and Yan Fugui continued to sit, a little anxious.

The eyes swept over the people around them, there were fewer people at this time, only a few and a half children were left, looking at the lively old women and daughters-in-law, I didn't see one who could be the master of the house!

Yan Fugui suddenly thought of something, and he also realized what was going on.

Looking back at the smiling Jia family at the main table, he suddenly felt an urge to watch the play.

Raising his head, he greeted Yan Jiecheng, and quickly muttered a few words in his ear, and then Yan Jiecheng walked away with a confused face and said to Yan Jiefang.

When Jia Zhang heard that the stupid pillar gave two yuan, he was not very happy.

In her opinion, the stupid pillar has nothing to spend money on, so he should give more, at least like the second master, and pay five yuan.

But thinking that this noon is all the craftsmanship of a stupid pillar, this reluctance is buried in my heart.

After a while, the stupid pillar came from the backyard with the deaf old lady on his back, and Yi Zhonghai hurriedly ran over and helped the deaf old lady to the main seat together.

"The ancestral inheritance is continuous!"

"The Jia family is considered to have settled. In the future, there will be no shortage of incense kowtows! ”

The deaf old lady said to Jia Zhang's with a smile, today, no matter how many good things are said, no one will dislike them.

"Old lady, you are the most respected person in the compound, and you are here today to add color to our Jia family."

Jia Zhang responded with a smile, and Yi Zhonghai helped beside him, "Yes, old lady, this is the treasure of our courtyard, with you, our courtyard will have the Dinghai Divine Needle, the treasure of the town." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the silly pillar with a smile on his face, and he was satisfied.

What he did to the deaf old lady will be able to do to him in the future.

With the help of the Jia family, even if you are old, you don't have any worries.

A few people were polite, and then beckoned to sit down, and soon the main seat was full.

The deaf old lady sat in the middle, with Yi Zhonghai on the left and Jia Zhang on the right.

Yi Zhonghai is down the bangs, Yan Fugui (empty), Jia Dongxu, Silly Zhu, the first aunt, the second aunt, the third aunt, Qin Huairu.

A table of eleven adults plus two children, a bit crowded but extremely harmonious.

Jia Zhang sat down, and then looked to the side.

Instantly, frowning.

The table, which was supposed to be full, was empty, with only a few young children sitting there.

After a closer look, Liu Guangqi led Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and the brothers occupied a table.

The three of them had already picked up chopsticks around the table and started eating.

What's even more infuriating is that Yan Jiecheng has a table by himself, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang run to another table, and He Yushui on the other side occupies a table by himself.

Seven people, occupying four tables.

"W-what's going on?"

Jia Zhang stammered, and everyone at the table immediately looked at it, and then followed their gazes.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at it, and his face was like sinking water.

Looking at the people around me, at this time, the kung fu is even more walking, laughing and laughing, watching the excitement, but half of the people who entered the banquet did not enter.

Yi Zhonghai only felt angry, and naturally knew in his heart that it was the money that made the ghost.

I thought that for the sake of my own face, the big guys could drink a full moon wine in a friendly manner, even if someone didn't come, then half of them could come.

But now, except for a few of the three of them, none of the other families participated, which is not to give face to the Jia family, and even he, the first uncle, has lost face.

Yi Zhonghai's face was pale, but considering that his face had been swept several times recently, if he really committed public anger, it would not be a matter of face, and it would be a matter of whether this uncle could do it.

So I suppressed the anger in my heart and sat there coldly.

The second uncle next to him looks like he is watching a play, and he, like Yan Fugui, is a person who can't see the scenery of Yi Zhonghai.

The people in the compound can lose the face of an uncle, and it is too late for him to be happy.

Yan Fugui also lowered his head, wondering in his heart which table to go to, he would definitely not be able to eat much at the main table, or go to He Yushui's table, how much can she eat at a little girl's house?

The rest, not to take home.

The three uncles didn't speak, the deaf old lady seemed to have entered the time of the sage, and her eyes were a little sleepy due to her bad ears, no one cared about it, but Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu were in a hurry.

If there is no one to eat, where will the money come from?

Jia Zhang's Hula stood up, looked around, stared at the people around him, and casually pointed to an old woman.

"Second aunt, why don't you come, hurry up and eat, it's all ready?"

The second aunt who was sitting on the bench next to her listened but did not move.

"Oh, his aunt, it's not morning, it's late, it's not hungry!"

Jia Zhang's anger knotted when he heard this, you can come if you are not hungry, as long as you give money.

The second aunt didn't speak, and Jia Zhang looked to the side again, "Xiaoshi, tell your dad to come out for dinner." ”

A teenage boy touched his nose and said, "My father went to his godfather's house and won't come back." ”

Jia Zhangshi almost didn't catch his breath, "Daughter-in-law of the Liu family, what about your family?" ”

"Aunt Jia, my family is working overtime temporarily, so I won't come."

"Ah, then you can eat, it's all a family anyway, and no one is the same."

"Oops, I forgot that there is still boiling water at home, you eat first, and I'll be here later."

After saying that, he turned around and picked up the child and ran into the house.

The action is fluid and unobtrusive.

The trick of the little daughter-in-law of the Liu family also brought a chain reaction, and several little daughters-in-law around who were watching the excitement led the children to the house, not giving Jia Zhang's chance to speak at all.

"You, you, you~~"

Whew

Jia Zhang gasped, Jia Dongxu on the side turned pale, looked up at the closed door, picked up a fist and smashed it on the table.

"If you don't come, forget it, it's not fucking rare."

The table thumped and my wrists were numb.
