Time passed like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the opening of the banquet.

Yu Shui's previously finalized dishes include braised pork, fried croquettes, steamed sea bass, beef pot, stir-fried vegetables, etc., Jiang Zhimiao saw that the menu he handed over was about to flow out, and he looked forward to the days going by faster every day for the past two days.

She had tasted Yu Shui's craftsmanship, and it was not amazing, but it had the taste of peasant food, and she couldn't wait to swallow her tongue.

After all, it was her family's first dinner, and Jiang Zhimiao tried her best to be perfect, so she ate all the dishes on the menu the day before the banquet, and made sure that it tasted good, so she nodded with satisfaction.

The price of five taels of silver is all-inclusive, the ingredients, the tables and chairs needed for errands, etc., are all brought by Yu Shui after discussing with others in advance, Jiang Zhimiao only needs to provide a venue and greet.

She never received a reply from Jiang Mingzhu a few days ago about letting Dafang come to the banquet, and she didn't know if they would come, so she could only leave the place there first.

The courtyard of the second room is really not small, and it is more than enough to set up fifteen tables, thinking that there are too many people, Jiang Zhimiao also reserved a table to come down, but he was afraid that people would not be able to sit down.

When Fang Huaihua came, the yard had already been arranged, and the red lacquered wood table was set up in a yard, and seeing that there were still dishes and chopsticks not placed, she cleaned her hands and got up with the busy.

Jiang Zhimiao wanted to set up the tables and chairs yesterday, but the tables and chairs of the neighbors were generally borrowed from the neighbors' houses to hold banquets in the countryside, and if the tables and chairs were borrowed yesterday, she was afraid that they would have no place to eat at home, so after thinking about it, she still extinguished this thought.

The whole family of the banquet was mobilized, and even the Wen family came over early in the morning to help.

Wen Zhuqing had already won the lifting before, but due to the Wen family's disaster, the road to the imperial examination was hopeless at the moment, Jiang Zhimiao saw that he wrote well, so he beckoned him to be a gentleman.

Yu Shui took the silver and it was true that the banquet was all-inclusive, but there were a lot of things to do today, Jiang Zhimiao naturally thought that she could take the handle best, and she didn't touch the dishes, and it was still a matter of putting some tables and chairs or something.

The house was busy with life, watching the sun rise, and people gradually came outside the house.

Mrs. Qian peeled her skin, smiled and said to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family who was picking vegetables on the side: "The Jiang family is really generous, this is both fish and meat, and I am hungry for it." ”

Mrs. Qian never thought that she would be able to work at Jiang Zhimiao's house by herself, but she had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel with the workers when she built the house before, and it was really unexpected that she could be used again.

Before, she went to ventilate and report the news, just to see that she was a village and a little girl, she didn't think that there was anything in return, she could be found to work, she knew in her heart that it was Jiang Zhimiao's care for her.

She still has a little grandson to support at home, and she wants to do more work to add some pocket money to the family, but unfortunately she has an old bone, and her work is not as good as that of young people, and she didn't expect to be hired.

Mrs. Qian glanced at Jiang Zhimiao gratefully, and then sped up the movements in her hand and started her work in full swing.

Five taels of silver wrapped the table and went out, which didn t mean that he was the shopkeeper, and now Jiang Zhimiao was standing at the gate of the courtyard at the moment and looked around.

It was already close to the end of the day, and only two or three tables of people came to the courtyard, which Jiang Zhimiao didn't expect.

Fang Huaihua and Yang Shumei's family occupied a table, Wang Xuemei's family and Wu Changsheng's family occupied a table, and the remaining dozen tables did not come at all.

Naturally, the opening table waited for the people to come before they could move the chopsticks, looking at the sparse people sitting in the courtyard, Jiang Zhimiao muttered puzzledly: "What's going on?" When has this been since the people came? ”

Xu Yourong was also in a hurry to die, originally held this banquet to draw in the relationship between the neighbors, but this time it was good, the banquet was held, but no one came, but she was depressed to death.

"I don't know, if the people in the village don't know or remember the wrong time, or I'll call it again."

Xu Yourong stomped his feet anxiously, looking at the door uneasily, and no one came out of the clinker for a long time.

Looking at Wen Zhuqing's red paper, there were only a few scattered families written on it, Jiang Zhimiao thought about it, and was puzzled, and immediately turned his head and walked towards Fang Huaihua.

What she doesn't understand, Fang Huaihua must know, although she has only dealt with a few faces, her image of a loudspeaker still takes root in Jiang Zhimiao's heart.

"Aunt Huaihua, when has no one come here, do you know what's wrong?"

Farmers don't open meat at home on New Year's Day, so early this morning, Fang Huaihua came over to wait for the feast without breakfast, just to keep her stomach and eat a few more pieces of meat, when Jiang Zhimiao asked her, she was almost hungry.

Suddenly hearing someone call her, Fang Huaihua was stunned, and then turned her head to look at the source of the voice, "What?" What did you say? ”

Jiang Zhimiao just came back to her senses with a confused look, and asked again: "I said, it's almost time to open the banquet, and no one has come to the house, auntie, do you know what's going on?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Fang Huaihua nodded solemnly, she picked up the bowl on the table and poured a mouthful of water, and after suppressing the roar in her stomach, she opened her mouth unhurriedly.

"Ah, you said this, I know, it's not just your family that holds a banquet today, but the Jiang family also does it, those people should have listened to the letter and went to his house."

To be honest, Jiang Zhimiao didn't expect this stubble at all, the Jiang family was divided, and the house was later than her, so it stands to reason that the banquet should be held in a few days, why did she suddenly run into a group with her, Mo No, Mo didn't specifically fight against her.

Thinking of this, a nameless fire burst out in her heart, Jiang Zhimiao took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Is it the Great Jiang family?" What does he do? Which room did he run in his house? ”

The Jiang family has been divided into two households since Jiang Zhimiao's generation, the one called Grandfather Jiang in the village is called the Big Jiang family, and the one called her is the Little Jiang family, just to distinguish the two Jiang families.

"That's right, it's his house, I heard that it seems to be a four-room office, it's called Jiang Xingsuo's house, and his family also invited me, I didn't go, and the person who didn't come should have gone to his house."

Don't say you don't know, you were startled when you said it, "Jiang Xingsuo?" Jiang Zhimiao muttered, obviously stunned by the news.

It stands to reason that no one's family should do anything that should be done by his family, Zhou Ming gave all the money to the Zhao family before he died, his family does business, does his family have money to do things?

To be honest, Jiang Zhimiao wouldn't believe it if he knew this news from the mouths of others, but this was Fang Huaihua, the first person to gossip in Sweetwater Village.

Although she didn't have a doorkeeper on her lips, she didn't say anything false, and when she said so, things must not be fake.

Looking at the empty mat in the courtyard, Jiang Zhimiao sighed deeply.

Everything was done together, whether it was intentional or unintentional, she didn't want to delve into it, the fewer people who came, the more they ate, if they didn't come, they wouldn't come, and she didn't have to invite them to come.

"Gee, I'm not too late."

Jiang Zhimiao was stunned, and then raised her eyes to look, and when she saw the person clearly, her pupils shrank, a little incredulous. (End of chapter)
