The world's first village

Chapter 59 Banquet Preparation
For the next two days, Shi Lin has also been busy building plants on the island.

At noon on August 8th, the villagers began to help build the stove at Shi Lin's house. Dozens of chefs invited from Rong City (including bartenders and fruit plates) just arrived and were ready to start work.

Originally, Shilin's family planned to buy chickens, ducks and vegetables from the villagers, but after the villagers learned that Shilin's family was going to invite the whole village to a banquet, each family took the initiative to bring one or two chickens and ducks over.

As for the vegetables, there are more vegetables, and I don’t want to give the villagers any money. Anyway, they all work in the same company. Who cares about the salary of hundreds of dollars a day? Shilin can’t refuse the enthusiasm of the villagers.

Thousands of people feasted, and due to the complicated dishes, Shi Lin invited dozens of chefs, and the chefs were too busy, so the students who were on vacation came to help with small tasks.

The working villagers have the afternoon off, but dozens of people are still required to pick roses every day.

After get off work in the afternoon, Shilin also stopped the plant construction of the villa, and basically finished the planting work.

There is no suitable place in the village for banquets with more than [-] tables.According to custom, the banquet is usually held in the venue of the new house, but the banquet will not officially start until tomorrow afternoon. The cleaned dining tables will not be moved to the island until the host's entry ceremony is completed.

The stoves were built outside the island because they were afraid of polluting the island. After all, slaughtering livestock was too dirty. In this village, new houses were very important to be blood-free. It was okay to light fireworks, but if there were too many fires, they were also afraid of blackening the villa.

Rural banquets are like that, using firewood as firewood, iron molds for the stove, and just moving some bricks for reinforcement.

The tableware used is mostly disposable, but it is still rented from some hotels in Rong City. Even other materials are pulled by several trucks and placed in the open space in front of the rose garden.

The food sent by the villagers alone is definitely not enough, and a lot of fresh vegetables and live poultry were also bought in the car.

Women and students help in moving tables and chairs, cleaning pots and bowls, and slaughtering animals such as sheep, cattle, pigs, chickens, ducks and fish are all done by men. The official banquet will be tomorrow, but the big guys like slaughtering sheep, cattle and pigs have to be done earlier , There is also a refrigerator for storage.

Some meats have to be marinated in advance, and some meats have to be fried in advance.

For example, when making braised pork and twice-cooked pork, you need to cook the pork belly first, and for fried meat, you need to punch holes in the pork belly and then deep-fry it.

It is even more troublesome to remove the smell of mutton. There are dozens of processes. It is more troublesome to make five-spice sauce beef. Generally, it needs to be marinated for several days before it tastes good. I don’t know how these big chefs handle it. The process is too complicated.

However, some meat does not need to be slaughtered today, such as fish and lobster, which can be slaughtered very quickly to ensure the freshness of the meat.

Shi Lin learned a lot of new tricks just by watching, even the chefs in the village couldn't help but admire them.

The money is really not in vain, the chefs are hired by the company, the name of the SS company is too famous nowadays, even if these chefs don’t get the red envelopes, they still want to join in the fun, maybe they can get in touch with a rich man like Shi Lin .

Only those chefs knew that they were looking at the owner of the villa, the young boss of the SS company, and he showed off his skills evenly and densely, cutting vegetables evenly and densely. Not involved in the knife case, not the kind of "crackling" novice.

The villagers of Ai Ai Village gathered at Shi Lin's home. The scene was full of enthusiasm and guests, and everyone had beaming smiles on their faces.

And the guests who received the banquet were also preparing.

……

"Mom and Dad, I'm going to a classmate's house to attend a school entrance banquet tomorrow, and I may not be back until the day after tomorrow!"

After Xia Yao stuffed clothes and cosmetics into her backpack, she went out of the living room and saw her parents chatting, so she said something.

"Who is it, isn't it local? It will take a day or two to come back. Could it be a date with a boyfriend? Tell me honestly!"

Xia Bin saw his daughter humming a ditty and twisting her waist, looking here and there as if she was looking for something.

At the same time, I also wondered if my daughter has been out for so long, is she so happy because she has a boyfriend?But I haven't said it before, but even if I did, I wouldn't say it.

"Dad, where do you want to go, where is my boyfriend!

Shi Ling from our dormitory is the top beauty. Her home is in the SS Rose Village. She made headlines some time ago!She said there was a special car to take us to her brother's company. Many students in our class had been invited by Shi Ling, and there were probably teachers who were also going. "

"Oh, of course I know about SS Rose. Who in Rong City doesn't know about it? I guess the whole country knows about it. You said her family is from that SS Rose Village. Oh, I remember, her brother is the guy who drove a Mercedes-Benz after the college entrance examination. .”

Xia Bin took a deep puff of cigarette, only to realize that what her daughter was talking about was the girl's brother.

Of course SS Rose knew about it, and even he, a middle-aged man, knew about the beauty who won the top prize. His daughter often said that the top pick in our dormitory was still a sister.

At the beginning, Xia Bin also said that it was none of your business to be the number one scholar, and he was far worse than others.

"Dad, watch more news, it's still a government official!

But I really didn't expect that SS Rose belonged to Shi Ling's family. Her brother is so awesome. Shi Ling is usually very low-key and hides so deeply. I guess I have coped with the exams before, otherwise it would be impossible to get such a high score all at once!I wouldn't have known about it if the media hadn't revealed it. "Xia Yao pursed her mouth, complaining that Shi Ling was not authentic, and her girlfriends didn't say anything.

"It's called self-cultivation. It's not like you wander around the Pingguo 6 Street all day long. You're not afraid that people will find out that you have a Pingguo Lizi mobile phone. Your mother will feel ashamed to go shopping with you."

"Why is Shi Ling keeping a low profile now? She is so famous in China. Last time, she held a press conference, a magical dance. I almost couldn't recognize him at that time. My eyes were so wide that I almost jumped out.

But her brother is really low-key. There are no media interviews or announcements. They are all old photos of students. "

"It's probably using her sister as a shield, or maybe it's also a kind of protection. The top scorers have been scooped up by reporters, and they don't stop doing anything. Anyway, they are famous, so I'm not afraid of getting more. Those advertising plans, tsk tsk, are so advanced. It's a means of propaganda.

A few days ago, the district leaders went to inspect the SS Rose store. Your dad was there too, but he wasn't there, so I took Mr. Guo out to block it.This person is not afraid of the government. "Xia Bin shook the cigarette butt off the ashtray, as if he knew something right in his words.

Xia Bin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Daughter, ask her brother if he has a girlfriend. I think you two are quite suitable."

"Mom! You see, Dad is not a decent person! You married her back then, and besides, she is several years older than me, so she may not necessarily fall in love with me. Who doesn't know that there are many beauties in his company!"

When Xia Yao heard her father teasing her, she didn't object and said no, her slender fingers dawdled back as if hesitating for something.

"My baby girl is not bad either, my baby is still the most beautiful in the world. Your dad is right, we don't have to worry so much for the elderly if we get it. From now on, we will never have to wait in a long line to buy roses like a few days ago." .”

Zhier Mo Ruo's mother, Xia Yao's mother looked at her daughter's shy appearance, it seems that she was not deeply poisoned.

"Hehe, you two are not ashamed, I'm too lazy to tell you, I'm going back to my room to pack my things."

Xia Yao blushed at her mother's smile and looked down upon her. After finding her beloved small mirror on the sofa, she went back to her room to continue her great packing work. She felt that the package was not full yet.

Xia Yao's mother watched her daughter go back to the room, touched the man next to her, and pointed to the sky: "Old Xia, this is a good opportunity!"

"I haven't seen my daughter say that there is no shortage of women, and that she has money, so don't push her away."

"As honest as you are, it's hard to go further. Didn't you see that your leaders want to get to know each other? Outsiders can see the potential of SS Company. If your daughter is married to someone else, you will have a chance to go up."

"Don't worry about this, you women, how many times have you said it! Why are you women so busy!"

Xia Bin, as the deputy director of the legal department of the District Construction Bureau, who is an official doesn't want to climb up, but he doesn't want to rely on these methods, so even if he is very capable, his position is not high.

……

Ruo County is adjacent to Feng County, a small town of Fengyun
"Honey, don't you really need to bring red envelopes and quilt covers? That's not good, you need them to attend the banquet of other people's new houses!" Wu Cheng thought for a while, but he couldn't say that his wife was stubborn, and the financial power was all managed by his wife. Woolen cloth.

"You are stupid, your sister has already said that you don't accept red envelopes, let alone bring other gifts!

They bought it long ago. Your sister’s family is an upstart, and you also have a good nephew. It’s not good to ask you to help your nephew during this time. What kind of work are you still working for?
I don't know which households in neighboring counties, Ruo County has a love village, and the monthly income of the villagers is [-] to [-]. "

Bao Fengli poked the head of the overly honest husband in front of her with her right finger, feeling a little annoyed, how could she marry such a person in the first place.

"Why are you doing this? At the time when my nephew was struggling to study in college, my sister asked me twice before you were willing to give it [-] yuan! If I hadn't persuaded you many times, you probably wouldn't want to borrow it."

Wu Cheng was really angry when he thought about this, but he felt that his nephew was really capable and he felt quite proud. As he spoke, he straightened his chest and was not afraid of his wife, so he spoke back.

"Hey, I don't know that your sister's family suddenly became rich. Husband, your sister is still angry with me, or you can make up your mind."

Bao Fengli didn't feel anything when she recalled the events of the past few years.She has made a lot of money, and it will be a big loss if she doesn't recognize her as a relative.

"Dad, Mom, have you finished discussing it? How about going tomorrow?"

"Good girl, your cousin loves you very much, you have to talk to your cousin Shi Lin, don't let him get angry with your mother!"

Bao Fengli looked at her daughter Wu Qianqian who was bouncing around on the dancing mat in the living room, and seemed to have some idea. If she asked his honest husband to speak well, it would be difficult for her to speak well, not as good as her precious daughter.

She remembered Shi Lin's stubborn face back then, and she was really a little scared. Anyway, she just didn't like her very much, and she didn't know if Shi Lin still had resentment after meeting her now.

Bao Fengli was a little uneasy, so let her daughter play the emotional card first.
