Chapter 201 Weddings are an important social event
Sure enough, as my father-in-law expected.
Since that day, Baixiang Town has become more and more lively day by day, all the inns and restaurants are full of people, and I was going to invite a flowing water banquet for three days in a row, but it started half a month in advance.
After all, the VIPs traveled thousands of miles and came to the wedding half a month in advance, so they couldn't afford to bear the cost.
If it weren't for Chu Qianqiu's golden finger and the recent fat, his face would have turned green when he looked at the daily bills.
Now the Chu family is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the guests, as well as the personnel expenses for the wedding, which costs at least 1,000 taels of silver per day, such a huge expense is undoubtedly quite amazing.
"Uncle Xiao, will this silver be a little more?" Chu Qianqiu looked at the bill and couldn't help but ask.
It's not like someone is filling their pockets.
"Lord Chu doesn't know, if you only invite for three days, you naturally don't need to spend so much silver."
"But if you ask for more than ten days from now on, there will not be enough chicken, duck and fish meat near Baixiang Town."
"Since half a month ago, I have asked people to buy meat everywhere, and when I heard that the young master was going to have a wedding, the price of pork with me more than doubled."
What kind of character Xiao Changfeng was, he immediately realized that the current owner needed an explanation, and hurriedly told Chu Qianqiu that because the standard of the banquet was too high, the surrounding meat reserves had declined rapidly.
"If adults feel that the cost is too heavy, you can add more grains, steamed buns, rice porridge, and less refined grains and meat."
"That's it, it's just a little thing."
"Let the people gain and change their reputation, why should they care about the amount of money." Chu Qianqiu shook his head, and he didn't bother with this problem anymore, 1,000 taels of silver a day, even if it took a month, it was not worth as much as his own elixir.
The logistics of the classical dynasty were not developed, and their meat depended on local supplies, and it was extremely rare for Chu Qianqiu to make meat with large hands, so the price of meat continued to rise.
Considering that ordinary people didn't have much opportunity to eat meat, the rise in meat prices was good for them as a whole, so Chu Qianqiu didn't bother to spend more money.
And it was this banquet that made the entire Baixiang Town and even the surrounding people know him and Huang Xiaoxiao, and his reputation quickly skyrocketed, reaching the level of household names.
"Young Master Chu is kind-hearted, and Miss Huang is merciful, the two of them must be the reincarnation of the golden boy and jade girl in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva." Liu Danping of the second-hand clothes store praised daily.
"How can it be Guanyin Bodhisattva, clearly under the seat of the Buddha." And her guest retorted today.
"Yes, yes, I heard that this wedding, Abbot Nagakumi will personally pray for the blessings of the two."
"Amitabha, the abbot of Na Juemi has the heart of a bodhisattva, and only the wedding of the two can make the abbot go down the mountain to pray for blessings."
The people in the town talked a lot, and even some people in Woniu Village came back and boasted after a trip to the town:
"Young Master Chu is a very good person, and he invites the people in the town to eat and drink for free."
Hearing the word free, the farmers in the village couldn't sit still and hurriedly asked:
"What can be delicious and delicious?"
"Hey, you don't understand, the chicken, duck and fish you eat, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, the wine you drink, the juice, and so on, you haven't eaten or tasted it."
"Now even the beggars in the town who beg for a living can get a few meat buns to eat."
"Look at this food box, it's full of braised meat and meat buns."
"It's all the chefs in the town who let us bring it back and give it to everyone in the village."
The young people in the town opened the food box, and the aroma of the food came to their nostrils, including garlic and white meat, crispy chicken, steamed fish, etc., even if it cooled down a lot, it was a delicacy that they had never eaten.
As soon as the villagers heard that it was for everyone, they were immediately unwelcome, and they were about to grab it, but the young man hurriedly closed the lid of the food box and scolded loudly:
"Wait, everyone has a share, whoever robs has no share, follow the rules!"
Woniu Village instantly became like
After all, for the farmers in the village, except for the celebrations of the imperial court and the festivals of the Buddha, their lives are boring and boring most of the time.
Such a grand wedding is enough to become a frequent topic of conversation among the villagers for more than a decade.
Not only ordinary people, but also the classmates of the martial arts hall were also amazed, just like classmates who were living in difficulty, they looked like they were going to receive poverty subsidies on weekdays, and when he was about to get married, he was surprised to find that he was a local tyrant, and he was also a super tyrant who could spend 1,000 taels of silver a day to feast all the residents of the town.
Some of my classmates asked in surprise:
"Qianqiu is so generous, how can I hear that the relationship between him and the eldest lady is upside down?"
When Zhao Lingyun heard this, he hurriedly picked up a piece of chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, and then scolded with some gritted teeth:
"Yu Hongen, if you can't speak, you don't have to speak."
"You are the son of the elder, how can you despise Chu Baihu like this?"
"Do you want to be honored as Lord Chu, do you understand the honorific title?"
"But, don't everyone say that?"
Yu Hongen bit the chicken leg twice and said without bad intentions.
"Now Brother Qianqiu is Liu Dutong's righteous son, and his identity is no worse than that of Miss Huang."
"The Chu family is just inconspicuous, in fact, the largest bookstore in Baixiang Town, the store that sells Buddhist scriptures, is theirs."
Zhao Shengli put down his chopsticks first, and then corrected him very seriously.
"So you keep your mouth shut and eat more, you don't eat that well in training on weekdays."
Another classmate hurriedly chimed in:
"That is, the food prepared for us by Lord Chiaki is even better, and there is a lot of medicinal food in it."
"I feel that the speed of True Qi condensation is much faster, and the foundation building in 100 days will be completed soon."
The so-called one person ascends to heaven with a chicken dog, Chu Qianqiu held such a grand wedding, and at the same time, it was also to show his strength to his classmates, exchange a little more feelings, and be in the Shenwei Army system in the future, it will never be wrong.
A sufficient supply of meat is still a luxury for ordinary martial artists, not to mention taking pills, medicinal food has become a compromise choice for ordinary martial artists, so the classmates eat more energetically.
Even Qing Fen and his gangsters have been afraid of seven or eight pounds in the past few days.
"I've told you a long time ago, follow Young Master Chu, there will be meat to eat and wine to drink." Qingfen gnawed on the chicken leg while saying to his subordinates, hating iron and steel.
"Yes, Boss Qing!" Each thug wants to have two more mouths and three bellies to eat all this food.
The prelude to the wedding has made such a huge expense, and the hidden benefits are naturally rich.
Chu Qianqiu received the officers, colleagues, and soldiers of the Li Ren Battalion every day, and the relationship between them in the army became increasingly close.
It's like my father-in-law said.
"A wedding is not just a matter for two people, it's an important social event."
If you simply calculate the income, you will make a lot of money.
For example, Cao Zizhen, who picked up a life, actually went to Chunfeng Tower for a few days first, and then came to visit without heart and lungs, and asked Chu Qianqiu to receive him at home.
"Brother Shi came from afar, I don't know if Uncle Cao is in good health?" When Chu Qianqiu saw this prodigal child coming, he couldn't help but feel a little cordial.
After all, he had picked up his body several times, and now he was very happy to see a living person, and he stepped forward with a bear hug.
At this time, Cao Zizhen seemed polite, and hurriedly said:
"My father has always been in good health."
"This time Brother Chu got married, my father wanted to come in person, but he was troubled by trivial matters in the gang and couldn't get out."
"Please accept this gift."
"Brother Shi is really polite."
This congratulatory gift on the surface is 1,000 taels of silver, but in fact it is 20,000 taels of silver tickets
The girls of the Wind Building.
Chu Qianqiu didn't plan to care, and accepted it with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, from the Dajiang Gang to the Heavenly Sword Gate and so on.
Although this Cao Zizhen is prodigal by nature, his eloquence is quite extraordinary, and his serious treatment of people and things is the best choice, and it is no wonder that Cao Gangster has many sons, but he must let this prodigal child take over the position of the gang leader.
The two chatted for half an hour, and Cao Zizhen showed an expression of wanting to say something, which made Chu Qianqiu feel a little funny.
"Brother Shi has something to say, if it is something that can help, I will never refuse."
"After I came to Baixiang Town, I met a friend who said that the person in charge of Baixiang Town is no longer Lord Huang, but Brother Chu."
"He wants to ask Brother Chu for something."
