Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Vietnamese Eat a Big Feast

By the time all the dishes have been bought, it will be dark.

Coming out of the farmer's market, Zheng Fei found that the private growers who bought vegetables outside had disappeared.

Looks like they're all back to sleep.

The trio put the pork and mutton on the body and covered it with a cloth.

"Let's go, let's go eat."

It's past six o'clock in the morning, and it's time for breakfast.

After eating at a mutton soup restaurant, the three of them drove back.

When I got home, it was just over seven o'clock.

Li Fengxia came out of the house with a bowl, saw Zheng Fei and the three get out of the car, and asked with a smile, "Xiaofei, you are here to buy vegetables."

"Yes, auntie, you just eat."

"Ah, I just ate it, you're going there to make a big feast, and you've bought a lot of things."

Li Fengxia looked at the meat and vegetables in the car and said.

"Go to Sanliqiao tomorrow, there is a marriage."

Hearing the Sanli Bridge, Li Fengxia looked around and asked in a low voice, "Do you still want to serve food?"

"Yes, do you have time tomorrow, auntie?"

"If you have time, my aunt will be fine tomorrow."

In fact, Li Fengxia is going to water the ground tomorrow.

But when she heard Zheng Fei's words, she felt that it would be okay to water the ground two days later.

"That's okay, tomorrow aunt, you have an early meal, and you make my car over."

Since Li Fengxia has time, Zheng Fei doesn't need to find someone else, just count her as one.

In addition to her, there are two more people to find.

Three people served food to thirty-five tables.

Zheng Fei said to Fan Hai and the others, "You guys take down the dishes first, and I'll go find the person who will serve the dishes tomorrow."

"Go ahead, just leave it to the two of us."

Wang Ming rubbed his waist and said.

Seeing his movements, Zheng Fei smiled.

Putting down the ingredients in his hand and coming out of the house, Zheng Fei went directly to Aunt Liu's house next door.

Aunt Liu was sitting in the hall eating, and when she saw Zheng Fei coming over, she hurriedly took a bench for him to sit down.

"Auntie, are you free tomorrow?"

Seeing that she was eating, Zheng Fei asked her directly.

When Liu Jinxiu heard this, he put down the bowl and asked happily, "Is this alive?"

"Yes, there will be a wedding banquet in Sanliqiao tomorrow, see if you are free."

"It's free, it's free."

Liu Jinxiu hurriedly said.

"That's okay, tomorrow Auntie, you have an early meal, let's go early."

Zheng Fei stood up and said.

"Okay, I see, I'll wake up early tomorrow."

"You eat, auntie, I'll go to Xiulian's sister-in-law's house."

Seeing that Zheng Fei was leaving, Liu Jinxiu said, "Then I won't keep you Xiao Fei, I'll get up early tomorrow and won't let you wait."

"Don't come out, auntie, let's eat."

Leaving from Aunt Liu's house, Zheng Fei walked a few steps along the asphalt road and came to a jujube red gate.

I pushed the door, but I didn't push it open, but the movement of pushing the door startled the dog.

"Wangwang~"

Smelling the aroma of vegetables coming from home, Xiulian's sister-in-law should be stir-frying.

"Sister-in-law Xiulian, are you at home?"

"Who? Here it is."

"Who?"

"I, Zheng Fei."

The door opened from the inside, Gao Xiulian looked at Zheng Fei and asked with a smile, "It turned out to be you, brother, why are you here, come in."

When she saw the shovel in Gao Xiulian's hand, she knew that she was cooking.

waved his hand: "No, sister-in-law, there is a wedding banquet in Sanliqiao tomorrow, I want to find three people to serve the plates, I don't know if you have time, sister-in-law?"

Gao Xiulian didn't expect Zheng Fei to come over to work for her.

When I was playing mahjong at Li Fengxia's house two days ago, I heard Li Fengxia and Aunt Liu talk about it

After this incident, she was envious when she heard it at the time.

She also thought about whether Zheng Fei would look for her, but after so many years, she found that Zheng Fei was not looking for anyone, so she had no idea, who knew that Zheng Fei would be looking for her today.

"Sister-in-law has time, when will she leave tomorrow."

Gao Xiulian said happily.

Seeing her happy look, Zheng Fei smiled and said, "Let's go over early tomorrow, you get up early, I'll call you when you leave."

"Okay, okay, I know, I'll get up early tomorrow."

"That's okay, sister-in-law, you're busy, I just came back from grocery shopping, so I'll go back first."

Zheng Fei didn't say anything about the salary, because the whole village knew about finding someone to serve the dishes.

Not to mention people, dogs know everything.

When he got home, Zheng Fei let the two of them rest for a while, and he moved the board out from under the shed. Chinese Net

Connect the water pipe to the faucet and clean the board.

Last night, the wind blew and a layer of dust fell on the board.

Later, you will have to chop the meat on it, and it will not work at all if you don't clean it.

After cleaning the board, Zheng Fei took the mutton out of the bag.

He bought a whole sheep, which was cleaned from the slaughterhouse.

The sheep is in a plastic bag, and when you take it out, you have to tear it open.

This sheep weighs more than fifty pounds and is a common goat for them here.

Seeing that he was starting to divide the mutton, Fan Hai did not sit still, got up and took out the basin from under the shed and began to clean the ingredients.

The king took out a flamethrower tomorrow and cleaned the pig's hair from his elbows and trotters.

The division of labor between the three is clear, stable and not chaotic.

Zheng Fei is very satisfied with this state, such a team is what he needs.

Washing vegetables next to the water pipe, Fan Hai suddenly thought of something.

"Xiaofei, it's very popular to shoot videos now, you said we should also shoot some videos of making big seats and upload them to the video website."

Zheng Fei paused and said, "Don't need it, right? We're so busy, we have time to shoot videos."

"You can find someone."

Hearing Fan Hai say that he was looking for someone, Wang Ming asked, "Looking for someone?" Who to look for? It's just that I found it, how do I calculate the salary?"

"This..."

Hearing this, Fan Hai didn't know what to say for a while.

What Wang Tomorrow said makes sense, it's no problem to find someone, but how to calculate the salary?

Is it the same as them?

It's simply not possible.

If it was as much as they did, Van Haty wouldn't have mentioned it.

"That's right, that's what I said."

Fan Hai also decided that his own ideas were not considered.

Zheng Fei said at this time, "Your idea is right, but those who shoot videos have time, but we don't have time at all.

Besides, with my current fame, we don't need to make videos to increase our popularity."

I don't know if it's a coincidence, as soon as Zheng Fei finished speaking, the mobile phone rang.

Seeing that it was a local unfamiliar number, Zheng Fei guessed that he was looking for him to be a big seat.

He Xinchao sat on a stool, next to his father He Zhanyuan and two uncles, He Chunshan and He Wengao.

They sat outside, dressed in white clothes that only white things wear.

His uncle died in the early hours of this morning, and according to the rules, after the death of a person, he must be mortuated at home for three days.

The time for the "outing" has been determined, and it will be on the 24th, four days later.

Everything else is easy to say, only the chef is the most difficult to find.

After all, his uncle's wish before his death was to let the guests eat the flowing water banquet of Caiyun Province once.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to find a master chef who could cook Caiyun Province's big table dishes and flowing water seats.

The phone was connected, and He Xinchao told Zheng Fei at the time he said at the beginning.

When Zheng Fei heard what He Xinchao said about Liushui Xi and Caiyun Province, he knew who it was.

I asked about the time of "going out", and then I asked about something else.

"No problem, there is no conflict in time, forty tables, right, the price of four hundred yuan a table? No problem, that's enough."

Okay, yes, I've made a note of this, I'll be looking for ingredients these days, and I'll call you if there's a problem."

Seeing that the phone hung up, Fan Hai couldn't help but ask, "Pick up the job again?"

Wang Tomorrow also looked at him expectantly.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Zheng Fei smiled and said, "Yes, you still remember the young man yesterday, who asked me if I would be the one who made the flowing water seat."

"You know, is he looking for you?" Wang asked tomorrow.

"That's right, his uncle passed away in the early hours of this morning, and he went out on the 24th."

"Forty tables of running water? How many people are there?" Fan Hai suddenly thought of this.

Zheng Fei thought of what He Xinchao said to him yesterday and said, "The whole village should go."

"Village-wide !!"

Hearing this, Wang Mingming and Fan Hai were shocked.

Flowing water mats are common in the south, but there are differences.

For example, after these guests finish eating, let the waiting guests go up, and then re-serve the food, and so on.

There are also places where a dish is served and a dish is removed.

In this process of serving and removing the dishes, it is like flowing water, so it is called a flowing water seat.

Zheng Fei, the flowing water seat of Caiyun Province, really didn't know which one it was.

I asked He Xinchao just now, and they didn't know.

This made him a little difficult, and he didn't know which one to do.

Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes, and ask the master what he is saying.

Let the master choose for himself, and he will do whichever one he chooses.

Thinking about it, Zheng Fei opened the memo on his phone, wrote down this matter, and then turned on the reminder, don't forget.

After dividing the mutton, Zheng Fei put the mutton and lamb chops in two pots.

One is stewed lamb soup and the other is made with finger lamb chops.

That's two dishes.

"Third brother, you soak these cut mutton and lamb chops in water."

Zheng Fei said to Fan Hai.

"Oh yes, you can put it there."

After dividing the mutton, Zheng Fei took two bags.

The bag was heavy and contained fresh beef.

Pouring out all the beef, Zheng Fei took a knife to remove the fascia on the beef.

Large pieces of beef are cut in half, and when they are marinated, they can quickly absorb the flavor.

After eating, Li Fengxia brushed out the pot, washed her hands, put on an apron and locked the courtyard door.

Just now she saw that Zheng Fei had bought a lot of ingredients and wanted to come over to help.

Hearing the movement, the three of them turned their heads to look at it and found that it was Li Fengxia who came over.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

Seeing the apron on her body, Zheng Fei had a guess in his heart.

Li Fengxia smiled and said, "I'll come over to help you."

As he spoke, he squatted down beside the water pipe and washed it.

Seeing this, Zheng Fei couldn't say what he wanted to refuse.

Forget it, wash it. …

The four of them cleaned for almost two hours, and finally cleaned all the ingredients.

Zheng Fei put the last piece of pork in the basin and finally put down the kitchen knife.

Seeing that the time had not yet reached noon, Zheng Fei asked the three of them to rest.

"Let's rest, I'll do the rest of the afternoon."

In the afternoon, I make time-consuming dishes such as elbows, roast chicken, fried fish, and beef sauce.

These dishes are prepared in advance, so you won't have to be so busy tomorrow.

"Xiaofei, you guys rest, I'll go back first."

Li Fengxia said and walked out.

"Auntie, I'm walking with a piece of watermelon."

"If you don't eat it, I'm going to go to school to pick up the tiger, you eat."

Let's go."

Originally, he wanted to pull her back, but when he heard that she was going to pick up Huzi at school, Zheng Fei stopped.

Picking up children is important.

Zheng Fei thought about it, tomorrow is Saturday, time flies so fast.

After lunch, the three of them rested for a while, and when the temperature was not so high, the three of them began to cook.

Lift the pots out one by one, wash them clean, and put the elbows in one by one.

Pour in water, add seasonings and simmer over high heat.

After getting the elbows, the next step is to roast the chicken and beef.

The roast chicken should be fried until golden brown on the surface, and then stewed, which is very good.

After frying the chicken and fish, more than an hour has passed.

"Is this roast chicken going to be done now or tomorrow?" Fan Hai asked from the side.

"I'll do it tomorrow, and I'll put it in Westinghouse now."

Zheng Fei said.

Carrying the roast chicken and carp into the West House and putting them away, Zheng Fei took out the soaked pork and began to slice and chop the filling.

These minced meats are made with lion's head, Sixi meatballs, and pork egg rolls.

He didn't need to chop the stuffing, Fan Hai did it.

Smelling the aroma emanating from the gap in the lid, Zheng Fei took a deep breath.

"Dididi~"

"Master Zheng."

Hearing the sound of the car horn, Zheng Fei looked outside and found that it was the person who rented the table and chair.

"I'll leave it to the two of you here, I'll go to Sanliqiao."

"Go ahead, and we'll leave it to us."

Holding his mobile phone, Zheng Fei walked out.

"I'm driving in front, you follow."

Zheng Fei said to the driver.

"Okay, no problem."

The driver made an OK gesture.

Ruan Lynn sat in the courtyard with a small table in front of her with fruits and snacks.

In the courtyard, Ma Ming and his father Ma Guodong were discussing tomorrow's banquet.

"In the past two days, I have heard that people from our village want to come over, and I have a hunch that the thirty-five tables we have booked may not be enough."

Ma Ming remembered what he had heard in the past two days, and his expression was a little serious.

Tomorrow is the day he gets married, and the number of banquets has already been agreed with the master.

If you suddenly increase the number of tables now, it will be too late.

Ma Guodong smoked a cigarette with an expressionless face.

He'd heard it too, and last time he thought five tables would be enough.

But looking at it this way, five tables is far from enough.

"I can only talk about it tomorrow, if there are too many people, we will find your grandfather."

Ma Jianguo is a well-known steward in their village, and everyone in the village is looking for him.

If you really can't sit down, you can only let the steward come forward.

"By the way, great, when will Master Zheng bring the table?"

Ma Ming asked.

Ma Guodong looked at the time, and it was almost time to speak.

"It's time, it should be almost up."

"By the way, why didn't you see your mother? Where did she go?"

Ma Ming shook his head, he didn't know.

"I don't know, I should go to my uncle's house."

Ma Guodong glanced at Ruan Linen, who was eating, and asked, "Her parents arrived tonight, right?"

"Yes, I'll be here tonight, and I'll drive them to the airport to pick them up later."

Ma Ming said.

At the thought of meeting his wife's family, Ma Ming was a little nervous.

"Dididi~"

Hearing the sound of the car, Ma Guodong and his son walked out.

Seeing the table in the car, Ma Guodong hurriedly asked Ma Ming to call his mother and ask her to come back.

Zheng Fei got out of the car and curiously glanced at Ruan Linen, who heard the movement and walked out of the house.

Is this a Vietnamese girl?

The long one is beautiful.

Her skin, in particular, is so white.

If you can find a wife like this, you don't care what country people are.

That's it.
