This is the first time Zheng Fei has encountered such a thing, and in order to be able to eat the big banquet he made, he even postponed the promised day.

There's nothing to say about that, but I'm going to have to live this one alive.

"I have time on the twentieth, Su Jiagou, right, how many tables are you going to prepare?"

"Thirty tables, one table for four hundred dollars."

Originally, he wanted to get a table of 500 yuan, but his son said that he didn't need to make it so high, just 400 yuan a table.

The two of them also said a few words about their son, saying that he would have to get a more expensive banquet when he got married, but his son didn't agree to anything.

He had no choice but to get four hundred yuan a table.

The two discussed a few more things on the phone, and then hung up.

Writing down this matter, Zheng Fei opened WeChat and agreed to Su Liansheng's friend application.

As soon as his friend passed, Su Liansheng sent a deposit of 1,000 yuan.

After accepting the deposit, Zheng Fei got up and went to the bedroom, came to the cabinet, and opened a drawer on the left side of the cabinet.

Open the drawer and take out a notebook from inside.

Coming to the living room with a notebook and sitting on the sofa, Zheng Fei found the menu.

Since it was a happy event, and the wedding time was changed in order to eat the big banquet he made, Zheng Fei couldn't live up to their trust.

Therefore, this time Zheng Fei decided to show his best craftsmanship.

Remembering all the dishes he is best at, Zheng Fei even set a special reminder on his mobile phone for this matter.

After finishing this, he lay down on the sofa again and swiped his phone. ……

Time passes.

Five days passed quickly.

In the past few days, three people have called him to ask him to make a big banquet.

But I don't know why, they worked either on the 18th or 20th.

There was even a person who asked for the nineteenth, but that day he was busy handling the ingredients at home, so he definitely couldn't pick it up.

Therefore, none of these three jobs Zheng Fei received.

Although he didn't get a job, Zheng Fei was also very happy.

This means that the closer to the Chinese New Year, the more people will ask him to be a big feast.

On the morning of the 18th, because he was going to Guo Limiao Village to have a big banquet today, Zheng Fei got up early.

When I woke up, it was just slightly bright, and it was the coldest time of the morning.

After eating early, Wang Ming and Fan Hai haven't come over yet.

Yesterday I was at home to deal with the ingredients, and everyone was busy until late, and they were tired.

It's normal to be late today.

Taking advantage of the fact that a few of them didn't come, Zheng Fei turned on the courtyard light and came to the Westinghouse to check the ingredients that had been processed yesterday.

Zheng Fei's main thing is to check the meat to see if it has been eaten by rats.

After checking them all, Zheng Fei did not find any traces of gnawing on these meats.

It seems that having a cat at home is different, don't look at the cat is still small, but those mice just don't dare to come out.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

While looking at a room full of ingredients, Zheng Fei suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of his house.

"Here we are."

At this point in time, it is definitely not an outsider.

Sure enough, when I opened the door, I saw Wang Ming standing in front of the door pushing an electric car.

"Just now I thought you were coming over, and it was fast enough."

Wang stopped the electric car tomorrow, looked at the yard, and found that it was only him.

"Am I the only one?"

Wang asked tomorrow.

Zheng Fei nodded, came to the Westinghouse, and said, "Yes, only you came the fastest, they haven't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Fei saw Aunt Li Fengxia walk in.

Li Fengxia came in and didn't speak yet, and followed closely, Gao Xiulian's sister-in-law and Aunt Liu came over.

Seeing the three of them coming,

Zheng Fei looked at the time and found that there was still some time before dawn.

"Xiaohai hasn't come here yet?"

Liu Jinxiu didn't see Fan Hai's car when he came over just now.

Now seeing a few people in the courtyard, I guess that Fan Hai has not come over yet.

"No, I called him just now, but I didn't answer, it should be almost there."

Wang Tomorrow said with a glass of water.

Gao Xiulian saw Zheng Fei inspecting the ingredients in the Westinghouse and walked over.

"Xiaofei, this meat hasn't been eaten by rats, has it?"

Zheng Fei shook his head.

"I just checked it, and there is no problem with the ingredients."

"Do you want to put these things up?"

Gao Xiulian pointed to roast chicken and fried fish on the shelves.

"Pack it up, just put it in the steamer as before."

As he spoke, Wang Mingming and Li Fengxia also walked in.

Taking advantage of Fan Hai's lack of effort, the four of them quickly put the ingredients they had made yesterday into the steamer.

As soon as the four of them finished their work, Zheng Fei heard the sound of a car stopping outside.

Hearing this voice, Aunt Liu Jinxiu said, "Listen to this voice, it should be Xiaohai coming."

Sure enough, as soon as the car turned off, the four of them saw Fan Hai walk in.

As soon as Fan Hai came in, he saw Zheng Fei and the four of them standing under the corridor looking at him directly.

Seeing Li Fengxia and the three of them coming over, looking at the oil stains on their hands, they should have been here for a while.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

Fan Hai said embarrassedly.

"You're not late, there's still a little time to go."

Zheng Fei said.

"Let's rest for a while, and then we'll go."

The people rested for a while, and waited until dawn before setting out.

Guolimiao Village is located in the southeast corner, and the nearest town from there is Qinghe Town, which is about ten miles away.

To go from home to Guo Li Temple, you have to go through the provincial road.

Go out from the Lijiazhai intersection, then go straight, passing Liuzhuang and Zongzhuang. …

Guo Li Temple.

Today is a good day, in addition to Guo Dongliang's son Guo Longgang getting married, today is also their annual temple fair here.

Since it is a temple fair, then singing is indispensable.

As a famous temple fair in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, it is necessary to sing a big opera for half a month in a row.

The troupe invited was none other than the troupe invited from Central Plains Province.

I heard that this time it is the largest troupe invited.

The troupe came very early, and arrived last night.

As soon as it was dawn today, the members of the troupe had already gotten up and started to prepare.

Today is the first day of the temple fair, and they are going to sing the opening scene.

Before singing the opening scene, the main singers such as the head of the troupe also put on makeup, put on singing costumes, and came to the temple to invite the gods.

In some places, it is not called inviting gods, but worshipping temples.

Why does the troupe have to worship the temple before the play?

There are many theories, but there are two main reasons.

One is the rules, and the other is because there is a temple here first, and then there will be a meeting.

This also means that this radius of several miles is the territory of this temple god.

Since you have come to someone else's territory to make money, you must notify others, so there is a temple worship.

In addition to kneeling and worshipping, the temple also has to sing operas.

It's nothing else, it's mostly some good words.

For example, there is a cloud on the West Heaven Road, and a true God sits on the cloud, and the Buddha sits on the West Heaven Buddha, waiting for people who eat fast and do good deeds.

This is a song for worshipping a Buddhist temple, and in addition to that, there is also a Taoist song.

At the end of the worship at the temple, they have to say a few words of worship.

For example: I will give you three peaches, three jars of wine, a cash cow, etc.

There are a lot of rules for worshipping the temple, and the costumes worn by the lead singers of the troupe when worshipping the temple are also versatile.

For example, there are clothes and hats and other items on the body from three kinds of opera, which means that only three kinds of opera will be sung this time.

Another way is to open all the chests, and take out one of the contents of each box and wear it on the body, which is to please the luck.

I hope this drama will go smoothly.

This is also why, after the troupe started singing, the following is the reason why no one has ever stopped and will not stop.

The temple outside Guo Li Temple Village is dedicated to the Dragon King.

Therefore, the lead singers of the troupe cannot wear Nezha's outfit.

After all, the story of Nezha's troubles has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

After buying things, passing by in front of the temple, Guo Dongliang stopped the car and looked curiously for a while.

I heard that this troupe was invited by the brigade, and I heard that it cost a lot of money.

No wonder the village cadres collected money door-to-door a few days ago, and they knew that they were looking for a troupe, but they didn't expect to find a troupe that was very famous in Central Plains Province.

Seeing that there were several people on the stage who were checking the equipment, Guo Dongliang knew that there were a lot of people in the troupe without guessing.

Because the members were changing clothes backstage, Guo Dongliang couldn't see anything.

When she returned home, her wife, Li Meilan, also stopped talking to her neighbors.

When she got home, before he could say anything, Li Meilan took the lead in speaking.

"Why did you get so big? Didn't you come back a long time ago?"

Guo Dongliang parked the electric car and took out the things he had just bought from the front basket.

"Isn't it a temple fair today? The troupe invited by our village from the Central Plains Province has already begun to prepare. So I stopped and looked at it for a while."

Hearing that he was watching the troupe outside, Li Meilan didn't say anything.

"By the way, since there is a troupe, there will definitely be a lot of people in that area to watch the big drama in a while.

You said that there are too many people, what should I do with the wedding car?"

Li Mei knew what they were worried about, and organized her language to speak.

"Don't worry, let's take another way, we will definitely be able to get there."

Guo Dongliang waved his hand.

"You just need to know." …

When he came to Guolimiao Village, before entering the village, Zheng Fei heard the sound of gongs and drums.

Wang, who was sitting on the side, heard this voice and sat up straight.

"Is there still a white thing in this village today?"

"We'll find out when we go in."

The car drove into the village, and not long after driving along the village road, I saw a large stage in front of me.

Not far from the stage, there is also a temple.

Seeing this temple, Zheng Fei suddenly thought of something in his mind.

"I see, it seems to be a temple fair today."

Zheng Fei heard the old people in the village talk about this place, but he didn't think about it at first.

When it comes to the temple fair, Wang Ming also remembers.

"It turns out that the old man in the village said that he came here to go to the theater."

The stage was in the open space on the side of the road, and when they drove to the stage, the two slowed down and looked at the stage curiously.

Apart from a few staff members, not a single person in costume was seen.

When he came to the intersection of the east side of the village, Zheng Fei stopped the car, got out of the car and asked an old man sitting outside for directions.

"Uncle, where is Guo Dongliang's house?"

"Go there, and there's the one in the middle, the red wooden door."

After thanking the uncle, Zheng Fei started the vehicle and turned into the left side road, and within a minute of driving, he saw Guo Dongliang's house.

Guo Dongliang and Li Meilan, who were cleaning up the yard at home, heard the movement and hurriedly put down the things in their hands and walked out.

When I came outside, I saw two cars parked at the door.

Seeing Zheng Fei sitting in the car, Guo Dongliang hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed it over.

Zheng Fei swinged

Hand.

"Uncle, don't smoke."

Zheng Fei got out of the car, looked around, and asked, "Where are you going to cook?"

What he meant was to ask Guo Dongliang if he had found a good place to cook.

"Master Zheng, do you think it's okay to cook here?"

Guo Dongliang carried him a few steps forward, and saw an alley in front of him.

This alley is very wide, especially the courtyard wall of the first house of the alley has also collapsed, revealing a yard overgrown with weeds.

Looking at the bricks and tiles that had been cleaned up, Zheng Fei nodded.

"Yes, it's spacious enough."

Hearing Zheng Fei say yes, Guo Dongliang said with a smile: "Then I'll rest assured, the location of my house is not very good, except for this alley, there is really no place to cook in this area."

"You drive the car over, and I'll go back and get you the water truck."

In rural areas, basically every household has a wire, and this wire has no other use, only one is for watering.

Because the fields are so far away from the village, long wires can only be used to pull them over the electrical boxes in the village.

Now better, the village has installed meter boxes on the poles on the roadside of the fields, and the wires are no longer functional.

While everyone was busy, the people in the village also knew.

At this time, most of the people have just gotten up and are standing outside talking.

Zheng Fei and the others came from the west of the village to the east of the village and were seen by many people.

The conspicuous tool behind the car was so conspicuous that at first glance it was the person who made the big seat.

"I heard that the master that Dongliang is looking for is the master Zheng who is looking for Zheng Zhuang with good skills."

"Really? In that case, I'll go to the feast."

"It's true, I saw the person in the car just now, and it's the Master Zheng who is driving."

"By the way, are you going to dinner?"

"Definitely going for sure. I wanted to go to the theater, but I know it's a big banquet made by Master Zheng, and I'm sure I'm going to try it."

"They all say that the dishes cooked by Master Zheng are delicious, and the people at the banquet can't wait to eat all the plates, and I came today to see how delicious it is."

"Okay, call me when you go after dinner, and let's go together."

"No problem, I'll call you then."

…

Carrying everything down, Zheng Fei opened the steamer and changed the dishes on the steamer.

Take out the fried fish and place the roast chicken knuckle on top.

"Xiaofei, is this little crispy pork put in the car first?"

Liu Jinxiu asked with a pot of fried small crispy meat.

"Auntie, let's put it in the car first."

Zheng Fei looked up and found that there was no place to put it around, so he could only put it in the car first.

"Brother Tian, this steamer will be handed over to you, and I will debug the boiler."

Wang Ming nodded, and together with Fan Hai, he carried the steamer and began to put it on the boiler.

After putting the steamer, the two sat down in front of the board and began to cut things.
