At four o'clock in the morning the next day, Zheng Fei heard someone calling him outside.

Getting up from the bed, Zheng Fei opened the courtyard door.

The people who came were Hu Chunyan and his husband Liu Haitao.

"Master Zheng, let's go now."

"Okay, you guys wait a minute, I'll go lock the door."

After locking the door, Zheng Fei and the three of them drove towards the vegetable market more than ten kilometers away.

Qinghe Town is a well-known vegetable planting base here.

More than a dozen villages around it make a living by growing vegetable greenhouses.

Because of this vegetable planting base, the vegetables here are much cheaper than other places.

After several years of development, the vegetable market in Qinghe Town has become the largest and most comprehensive farmers' market within hundreds of kilometers.

In addition to vegetables, meat, seafood, and mountain goods have also been added over the years.

Hu Chunyan asked, "Master Zheng, what are we going to buy?" ”

Zheng Fei took out the recipe he had written last night.

He asked, "How many tables are you going to prepare?" ”

He had to decide how many tables he needed before he could buy groceries.

"We've prepared sixty tables."

"Sixty tables!"

Hearing that there was going to be sixty tables, Zheng Fei suddenly felt that his hands began to hurt.

"How many dishes are going to be prepared at that table?"

"Twenty-four dishes, just make three or eight of our seats here."

As her father's 80th birthday, Hu Chunyan and her sisters and sisters decided early on, and they did it according to their highest here.

Not only did the banquet run well, but they also invited his father to invite a famous opera troupe from the next province to sing for three days.

Although Mr. Hu is eighty years old, his eyes are not deaf or his ears are not flowery, his body is tough, he can eat and drink, and there is nothing wrong with him.

When I heard that my four daughters were going to celebrate their 80th birthday, I couldn't stop talking happily every day.

Walking around the village, everyone is smiling.

There were no secrets in the village, and soon someone knew that Old Man Hu's daughter was going to give him a big 80th birthday.

Hearing this news, the old people in the village counted one by one, and they were all envious.

But there is no way for them to envy him, some of them are not older than him, and some are lower than him, and they can't do it if they want to.

Although it can't be done now, many old people have already decided that they will do it when they are eighty or ninety years old.

Since there are 60 tables, the menu has to be changed.

There is no need to change it drastically, just change a few dishes.

"Okay, I have a plan in my heart, let's go to the place and talk about it."

After a while, they came to Qinghe Town.

Although the genius has just dawned, there are already many people in Qinghe Town.

Most of these people are merchants who come here to pull vegetables.

When they came to the vegetable market in Qinghe Town, the three of them got out of the car.

Zheng Fei took a look at it and decided to buy meat first.

Sixty tables, twenty-four dishes per table, then pork can not be bought less.

Zheng Fei decided to buy three fans.

Elbows, whole chicken, carp, beef, mutton, prawns, pork offal, and soft-shelled turtles are all indispensable.

Because it was a birthday banquet, Zheng Fei decided to make some more festive dishes this time.

After buying the meat, the three of them went to the vegetable section again.

I bought several kinds of dishes, about more than a hundred catties.

After buying vegetables, Zheng Fei took the two of them to visit the mountain goods area and bought some mountain delicacies.

The three of them went around the vegetable market, and finally bought all the things.

Fortunately, Hu Chunyan drove a pickup truck when she came, otherwise they would not have been able to take these things they bought.

"Shall we go back after we have dinner here?"

Hu Chunyan saw that the time was not early, and proposed.

Seeing that the two were looking at him, Zheng Fei nodded: "Okay, don't worry." ”

I found a shop selling mutton soup outside the vegetable market, and the three of them drank a bowl of mutton soup.

During the meal, Hu Chunyan also said that the mutton soup here was far from what Zheng Fei cooked.

Hearing this, Hu Chunyan's husband Liu Haitao said with a smile: "In the past few days, I have always heard you say how delicious the banquet made by Master Zheng is, I must taste it today." ”

As a husband, Liu Haitao knows who his wife is, and he is not interested in anything else, so he likes to eat.

Most of their family's expenses are to buy food.

Because of this, their two children love to follow her.

Because they know that if there is something to eat, it is really bought.

Zheng Fei smiled and didn't say anything.

After eating and drinking, the three of them did not delay, got in the car and left.

As soon as he entered Hujiazhuang, Zheng Fei heard the sound of singing from the village.

is really worthy of being a famous opera troupe in the province next door, it is dedicated, and it started singing so early.

Driving to the intersection to Hu Chunyan's house, Zheng Fei found that the front was already full of old people.

Looking at the bicycles and tricycles and electric vehicles parked on the road, you can know that the elderly people who can move in the vicinity have come over.

The car barely passed, drove a few hundred meters further, and finally arrived home.

Hearing the sound of a car, a group of people walked out of the courtyard next to it.

"Master Zheng, let me introduce you."

There are still a lot of people in their family, and the introducer alone introduced them for more than a minute.

After getting to know each other, Zheng Fei went to the kitchen under the leadership of Hu Chunyan.

"Master Zheng, I know you don't have tools, these tools are all borrowed by me, do you think there is anything missing?"

Zheng Fei took a look, there were pots and pans, and there was nothing missing in spoons and fences.

"Enough things, by the way, don't forget the tableware for eating."

Sixty tables, if this is missing, it will be troublesome.

"Don't worry, Master Zheng, we have bought all these things, and we have bought a lot more."

That's good.

"I can't put things in this kitchen, so I think it's better to do it outside."

Zheng Fei tried it and found that their kitchen was relatively small and couldn't let go of things.

Hu Chunyan took a look and found that this was indeed the case, this was still pots and pans, and those ingredients had not been put in yet.

If you wait for the ingredients to come in, there will be no place to put your feet.

This is a big deal and cannot be delayed.

Hu Chunyan called her brother-in-law and brother-in-law over and asked them to build a shed outside.

The weather is nice these days, so you don't have to worry about rain, so just build a shed.

It just so happens that there is a vacant lot outside their house, and the place is very large where you can cook.

After setting up the shed, a group of people moved the pots and pans used for cooking.

Put the things away, and then put the ingredients you bought.

"Master Zheng, do you think you want anything more?"

Wait until everything is moved outside, Hu Chunyan's sister Hu Lihua asked.

Zheng Fei took a look and found that a water pipe was missing.

You can't do it without washing water.

"Pull a water hose over and wash it."

Pull the water pipes out, and everything is finally ready.

Seeing the people in a circle, Zheng Fei decided to show them a hand.

He had just heard their suspicious looks.

In this case, if they don't show them a hand, they don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has.

After rinsing the board and taking the kitchen knife, Zheng Fei directly lifted a fan of pork with one hand.

"it!"

"Awesome, so much strength."

"Uncle is amazing."

Seeing that Zheng Fei easily lifted the pork carried by the two of them with one hand, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Before they came to their senses, they saw Zheng Fei holding a kitchen knife and dividing a fan of pork by dividing it by two.

"Damn, this knife work is too awesome."

"(⊙o⊙) Wow, uncle is so amazing."

"This pig is just separated? It's also magical. ”

"After a few cuts, the pork is separated, just like in the movies."

"No wonder the second aunt must ask Master Zheng to come over and burn the big banquet, this is too powerful."

"With such knife work, the cooking skills must be no worse."

After everyone saw Zheng Fei's knife work, the doubts in their hearts disappeared in an instant.

With such knife work, how can cooking skills be poor.

Hu Lihua saw Zheng Fei alone, and hurriedly said, "Don't look at it, help Master Zheng quickly." ”

Except for watching the children, the rest of the people came over to help Zheng Fei.

"Put the pork belly away first, and I'll clean it up in the afternoon."

"Okay, Master Zheng, leave it to me."

Hu Lihua's husband Cao Ping said.

"By the way, let's burn the hairs on these elbows."

When he bought the elbow just now, Zheng Fei took a look and found that there were still some pig hairs on it that had not been cleaned up.

I have to clean up after buying it.

"I've done this job, leave it to me."

Liu Haitao walked over and said.

Then, Zheng Fei handed over the work of killing fish to Hu Chunyan's second brother-in-law, Dong Qiang.

And the women, who are not idle, wash the vegetables in a few of them.

After the arrangement, Zheng Fei was much more relaxed.

Begin to separate the remaining two pork fans

After dividing the pork, Zheng Fei chopped the ribs into pieces.

Chop the ribs and put them in a basin to wash them well.

Zheng Fei took a look, he did a good job, and he didn't need his help.

Bringing the soft-shelled turtle over, Zheng Fei took the knife and began to deal with the soft-shelled turtle.

Time flies quickly, and it takes a morning to process half of the ingredients.

That's a bit slow.

Zheng Fei told everyone to see if he could find some more people to help.

After all, there are too many ingredients, and a few people can't finish them at all.

Hu Lihua thought about it too, and hurriedly rode a bicycle to call back the old man who was watching the big play.

This is the first time Zheng Fei has met Old Man Hu, a very ordinary little old man in the countryside.

Hu Lihua told him what Zheng Fei said.

Hearing that he was going to find someone to come and help, the old man smiled and said, "You wait, I'll go find someone for you." ”

Why did the old man go, because they all took turns to accompany her father.

Although they grew up here, after all, they have been married for so many years, and many people don't know each other very well.

It is definitely not as convenient for them to find someone as her father, and his father's seniority is also high in the village, so there is no problem at all in finding someone to help.

Everyone waited for a long time, and then saw the old man come back leisurely.

"Dad, how's it going?"

Old Man Hu touched his goatee and said, "I found three people for you to come over, and I already said just now, they came over to help after eating at noon." ”

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Fei saw the ingredients on the ground that had not been cleaned up, and with the help of three people, he would definitely be able to get these things done this afternoon.
