Chapter 347: Special Seats
Wu Ren soon found a reason to celebrate.
With the completion of the county guard mansion and the Liaodong Academy one by one, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bought land at its own expense and funded the building was also completed.
The celebration began with the completion of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building, and the celebration site was placed in Tianshui New Village.
It's as simple and brutal as that!
After the celebration was decided, Wu Ren took the people below to start preparations.
Because part of the function of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is to buy, they don't have too many things in their warehouse.
A long list of things to be used in the banquet was opened, and after the list was opened, someone was responsible for going to the warehouse to pick up the goods.
The members who participated in the operation, whether they were indirectly involved or directly involved, were successively notified to return to Houcheng.
The three brothers of the Qin family were also secretly informed to return to Houcheng.
Knowing that a hundred tables of banquets were going to be held, Qin Zhao even organized people to go into the mountains to hunt in autumn.
They go out for the day, going from morning to evening.
A total of seven wild boars were hunted, including four large wild boars and three small wild boars. There were also five roe deer, fifty-three rabbits, seventy pheasants, and a number of other wild animals.
Everyone else was happy, but Qin Zhao was not very satisfied with the prey he had hunted. At this time, he missed his Xiaoliu very much, if Xiaoliu took someone to hunt, the prey designation would be doubled.
The chief chef of this banquet was Master Chen, in addition to him, Wu Ren also personally came forward and went to the major restaurants in Liaodong County to invite four or five masters to come over to help.
The venue of the banquet was set at the courtyard dam in front of the comprehensive ancestral hall of Tianshui New Village.
This courtyard dam is built large enough, the south is the Lu family's private school, and the north is separated by a shadow wall, and behind the wall is the comprehensive ancestral hall.
All the families in Tianshui New Village are newly relocated. The establishment of the comprehensive ancestral hall was based on the need for them to worship their ancestors. Each of them can provide a tablet for their ancestors in the comprehensive ancestral hall.
This is the public activity area of Sweetwater New Village. During the autumn harvest, this yard dam can also be used as a drying ground.
After Wu Ren's statistics, they decided to open 100 tables for this banquet.
Because at present, there are more than 500 members of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and there are also business guests, who will be invited to the banquet.
For this feast, they even temporarily set up a hugging building on the edge of the courtyard dam and built ten stoves.
Two or three days before the banquet was decided, Tianshui New Village was jubilant, and women like Mrs. Xu brought their own small benches to help spontaneously every day.
Wash and scrub, kill chickens and ducks.
Everyone was talking and laughing while working.
"I heard my son say that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money this time, so I want to take advantage of the completion of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce building to open a hundred tables to celebrate."
"I heard that after this banquet, there will be a welfare distribution in the future."
"I wonder what will be sent?"
"No matter what you post, the people above will definitely not treat us badly."
With the return of Wu Ren and his party, the news of Nandi also spread in a small area.
The big and small stewards of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce vaguely knew that the pills, books, papers, threshing machines, etc. of their Liaodong Chamber of Commerce were selling particularly well in the south and making a lot of money.
As for the inside story of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce going to the south, only the core management personnel know.
In Tianshui New Village, many young people have been absorbed into the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and those who have the ability have been arranged to the position of steward one by one. If you don't have much ability, you can work in workshops, such as paper mills, breeding workshops, etc., and it's good to be a small worker. Therefore, the news of these daughters-in-law and aunts in the village is very well-informed.
On the day of the feast, Tianshui New Village was really lively.
The feast is held from the first quarter of the day and eaten until the unitary hour.
At the end of the day, twilight covers the land.
There is a special table, which is not placed in the open courtyard, but in the house.
Those present are all core members of their group.
When Le Gui was invited into the house, his eyelids jumped when he saw everyone.
He recognized the people in the house at a glance, Xu Zheng, the county lieutenant, and Wu Ren, the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce; In addition, there are also the three brothers of the Qin family, as well as Ma Jin, Zhou Da and other leaders in the army; Lu Wei and Xiao Kun, one kind and one serious, although he doesn't know each other, he doesn't look like an ordinary person.
They were obviously all familiar with each other, and they got together in twos and threes and chatted.
Qin Zhao pulled him over.
They chatted for a while, and the boy outside the door shouted, "Lord Lu, Sixth Lady Qin has arrived!" ”
When everyone heard this, they quickly tidied up their clothes.
Le Guicai was a little puzzled in his heart, Lord Lu was the county guard of Liaodong, and he should be the last to arrive, but Mrs. Qin, who?
Just when he was confused, Lu Da came in with a woman, that woman should be Mrs. Qin Liu, and he saw that she was half a step behind Lord Lu.
It's just that he doesn't understand, why is there a woman in this room of important people? And everyone seems to be surprised? He carefully identified it, and only then did he recognize this woman as Lord Lu's little daughter! It seems to be married to Qin Liu?
The Qin family is still wearing a guilty body, and she is actually called the sixth lady? Is it because of her identity?
"You're welcome, everyone, let's all take a seat!"
While speaking, Lu Desheng sat in the first place, Lu Songli sat on the left, and Qin Heng on the right, if Qin Sheng was in Liaodong County, this seat should be his.
Then Qin Yan, Qin Zhao, Wu Ren, Ma Jin, Zhou Da, Lu Wei, Xu Zheng, Xiao Kun and others were seated in turn.
It's a pity that Xue Xu, Qin Sheng, and Yang Wei are not there.
Le Gui was the one who was the slowest to enter the table, and everyone looked at him at this time.
The people present, except for Le Guicai, almost all of them were the backbone of the main affairs on the road to exile.
The reason why Lu Songli asked Wu Ren to invite him was because the small actions of the Lu family and the Qin family could not hide from him, and it was better to let him express his position at this time than to make him feel guilty in the future.
The changes in Liaodong County, Le Guicai saw it in his eyes. Compared with the previous county guard, Lu Desheng, the new county guard, is undoubtedly much better.
Now with such an arrangement, it is obvious that Lu Desheng is going to pull him on the boat.
Isn't it just joining a small group? He could.
Le Guicai sat down silently.
His actions fell in the eyes of everyone.
At this time, Lu Songli picked up the wine glass, stood up, and looked at everyone with a smile.
The people present, except for Le Guicai, everyone else is an old partner. After arriving in Liaodong County, these people have made small achievements in the army, politics, and business.
Xu Zheng became the county lieutenant, Wu Ren is now the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and the three brothers of the Qin family, as well as Ma Jin and Zhou Da in the army, have a large number of small groups of supporters.
For example, Lu Wei, Xiao Kun and others are also one of the speakers of various ministries in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, like today's Houcheng County Commander Guo Chunsheng, Wuxian County Commander Liu Heshan, Wangping County Commander Chen Ping, and the chief bookkeeper Li Dan, etc., are all pro-Lu faction.
If you get a table of deputy seats, they can also attend.
