Chapter 258: Eat and Drink Well
The canteen is not far from Hu Shunkai's house, almost more than a mile and less than two miles, and now people are going directly, in fact, it is also the time to prepare for the canteen.
The children have long been in a hurry, some children have been looking forward to eating a big banquet a few days ago, you say that these children are not too wrong, but the most important thing is that these children think that eating a big banquet is interesting, and for them to eat is a lively meal.
So as soon as I heard that the banquet was going to be held, the spirit of one race after another, all the way with a trot, many children even came back to pull their own adults, so that they could also speed up.
It wasn't far away, and after about ten minutes, Gu Siwei and a group of people arrived at the gate of the canteen courtyard.
At this time, the person watching the door has been replaced, a middle-aged man in his forties, Gu Siwei doesn't know him, but this one knows Gu Siwei, because Gu Siwei and Wu Daorong didn't recognize their cousins.
Everyone knew that this surnamed Gu was Director Wu's cousin, so they naturally greeted him with a smile.
As soon as he saw that the people from Gu Siwei's side had arrived, this moment came over with a trot and opened the door.
"Director Wu is busy inside, and the table is almost set," said Gu Siwei with a smile.
Gu Siwei first thanked him: "I'm sorry for your trouble, I'll open the door for us at this point."
"It's nothing, it's just a little thing," the janitor politely said.
Gu Siwei gave Qiao Yitong a look, and then took everyone inside, and when everyone was done, Qiao Yitong took out a pack of cigarettes from the small army he was carrying and put it in Menzi's hand.
"It's ......".
As soon as he saw the smoke, Menzi knew that it was good smoke.
For Menzi, peony is naturally a good cigarette, all with a mouth, five cents a pack, where is he willing to smoke, he generally smokes the cheapest local black camellia, a dime by a pack.
Qiao Yitong said: "My master is married, and he wants to be auspicious!" ”
"Then I'll thank you" Menzi heard it and happily accepted it.
Although he also knew that Gu Siwei was getting married today, he didn't say anything about the wedding banquet, so he naturally wanted to push it in a fake way, and then Qiao Yitong gave him a word and accepted it with peace of mind.
"You should hurry up and go in, today's dish is hard enough."
Menzi took the cigarette and said something on purpose.
"Oh, what's the hard way?" Qiao Yitong said with a smile after hearing this.
Without waiting for the disciple to answer, Qiao Yi said to himself: "It's not hard and it's not good, who doesn't know my master's hunting skills, go to the surrounding villages to inquire, as long as you enter the mountain, you won't go back empty-handed, it's too common to get some meat or something, not to mention that he got married today, if the guests who came to help can't eat, isn't it a joke."
"That's right, that's the reason!" Menzi replied with a smile.
After chatting for a few more words, Qiao Yitong walked to the cafeteria.
At this time, the canteen is not very particular, although it is a place for leaders to eat, in fact, it is just a small place, and a small stove is used when cooking.
It's not like a few decades later, when the small banquet halls of some companies were built on a par with the imperial palace, and once you entered the golden wall, it was splendid.
Now there is no such statement, and there is no such thing as daring to do this, and of course, people may not want to do it at this time.
So the small canteen is quite simple, with a few more white screens, and there are four tables, which can obviously divide the small canteen into several separate rooms.
The floor is also common cement flat, some places are still knocked, some places are cracked, and the table is also a general large round table, the kind where twelve people sit.
The table is a light board, there is no tablecloth or anything, and there is no expensive tableware, it is ordinary white porcelain tableware, and there is no spit dish or the like, not even a water cup, in front of each position is a small white porcelain bowl, and there is a pair of black chopsticks on the bowl.
It's as simple as that.
However, the furnishings are simple, and the dishes on the table today are very eye-catching.
Because the dishes that have come up are not plates, nor sea bowls, but basins, not large basins used at home, and there is no need to make two pots of other dishes. The enamel basin used in the canteen at this time was about half the size of the basin, but it was five or six centimeters deeper than the basin.
There were already four hard dishes on the table, hard enough to touch a rock.
A pot of roasted lamb with radish, a pot of braised fish, a pot of potatoes and roasted goose, and a pot of the most attractive is braised pork.
The bright braised pork presents a translucent deep amber color under the illumination of the light, not to mention that people who eat it will salivate just by looking at it.
"Hey, this braised pork, alas, it's so beautiful! It's a bit like the northern pavilion in the county seat before."
A customer who knew the goods immediately praised it.
"What is a bit like, this braised pork is made by the Zhao family."
At this time, Wu Daorong walked in from behind, accompanied by two young people, who knew that they were helping the cook in the back at a glance, and at this moment the two of them each held a box of wine in their hands.
"Really?"
"It's true, I'm working in the power plant now, if you want to eat, you have relatives at home who can eat it, but you have to hurry, because as soon as this meat comes out, there will be no left" Wu Daorong said with a smile.
Gu Siwei got married, Zhao Fangming must come over to help, not only to help, today's Zhao Fangming directly asked for a day off, and spent a whole day to make these three pots of braised pork, it can be said that Zhao Fangming's gratitude for Gu Siwei's introduction of work, at least half of it is on these meats.
"Sit, sit! The cold dishes are ready, come up immediately, and everyone will start the table as soon as the cold dishes are served," Wu Daorong said.
"You sit down too".
Hu Shunkai is the hardest person today, and he beckoned Wu Daorong to sit down and hold a banquet with everyone.
Wu Daorong waved his hand: "You're welcome, Siwei is also my cousin, what is it if I go up and sit, besides, there are some hot dishes that have just started to be fried."
"Isn't there someone else stir-frying!"
It was Hu Yanqiu's uncle who spoke, and they were accustomed to Wu Daorong's family, so they spoke casually.
Wu Daorong arched his hand at him: "There are not enough people, and there are still six hot dishes."
At this time, two young men came up with trays, each tray was quite large, almost eighty long and fifty or sixty wide, and the plates in the tray were not said to be laid flat, but stacked one by one, and there were at least twelve or thirteen dishes in one tray.
"So many cold dishes?"
An old man who had just been arranged to sit down by the branch couldn't help but say this when he saw the two young men taking so many cold dishes.
The young man who served the dish smiled: "This is only half of it, there are four more dishes in the back, today it is eight cold dishes, six hot dishes, four poon choi, and finally a meatball soup!" ”
"Good guys!"
When everyone heard this, some people took a cool breath.
Hu Shunkai opened his mouth at this time and said: "The main things are hunted in the old forest in Siwei, although it didn't cost any money, but it was indeed hard."
"Just say a few words!"
Xu Congwen held Hu Shunkai's arm here, and motioned for him to stand up and say a few words, anyway, now everyone's seats have been almost arranged, and the rest are some young people of the same generation, and no one cares about how to sit.
Originally, it was Gu Siwei's parents who should have spoken at this time, as today's father-in-law and mother-in-law, the son is naturally very happy to marry his daughter-in-law.
But now no, it can only be Hu Shunkai to say a few sentences.
At this time, marrying a daughter is marrying a daughter, which is a happy event and a sad event for parents, but isn't Gu Siwei's situation special, there are no elders in the family, so it can only be Hu Shun's words.
At this time, Hu Shunkai did not refuse, and he also knew that he did not push.
After standing up, Hu Shunkai began to talk here, and the words were all about letting the little couple live a good life and love each other in the future, Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu nodded in response.
"Come, everyone eat and drink!"
Seeing that everyone had wine in their wine cups, Hu Shunkai ended his speech with a cup of wine.
After drinking a glass of wine, the feast is officially begins.
Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu sat at the main table today, the elders of Yishui'er, or Xu Wencong and Zhu Shiming, although everyone talked and laughed, but they were always not as lively as the table of women and children next to them.
The adults were drinking, and many of the women were drinking, but the children were drinking, the orange soda, which had just been pushed.
This is not the credit of Gu Siwei, this is Hu Shunkai's getting, and it is not much, according to the head of each child, one bottle per child, as for what to drink after drinking orange soda, homemade sour plum soup.
The food at the main table is more elegant and limited, needless to say at the children's table, and the one who eats one by one is called a happy one.
At the moment, the children don't grab it, because they think everything on the table is delicious, and most of them are meat dishes, and if you eat meat slices, you can't eat meat pieces.
As soon as they dispersed in this way, the children found that they did not eat as much as they used to eat, and they naturally did not grab it.
The adults are not much better, because at the moment, there are few families who say that they eat meat at will, even if you are the secretary of the factory, the salary is not enough for everyone to eat meat.
In addition to Hu Shun's family, since he had Gu Siwei's son-in-law, Hu Shun's family has basically eaten meat independently.
Why do you say basic, Hu Shun has to give the meat to relatives and friends, and there is no refrigerator at the moment, except for the marinated meat, the fresh meat has to be divided.
There is wine and meat, and who does not make special things at this time.
Not to mention others, even Qiao Qisheng's last drink was a little high, it's not that Qiao Qisheng hasn't eaten, but this atmosphere is moist.
It really did the food and drink well, and in the end, there was even something left over from the children's table, which was almost impossible to see at the dinner table, because as long as it was able to eat, almost all of them were eaten.
There is a slight surplus of dishes, but it is impossible to throw them out at this time, so they can be brought back to relatives and friends, and they can be saved to make one or two meals tomorrow.
For example, this work can only be discussed by the women today, because almost all the old men are a little too drunk, including Qiao Qisheng, who fell asleep directly on the chair here, not one or two.
In short, it's really good to eat and drink.
