Rebirth in 1987, the fierce wife is not to be messed with!
Chapter 123: Banquet for the Folks
"Uh...it turned out to be a dream..."
What a weird dream.
After touching her still burning face and confirming that she didn't have a fever, Yuan Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Really, what are you thinking about? You're still worried that the teacher will separate..."
Whenever I think of Jiang Zhou, I always feel weird and my heart beats unusually fast.
Yuan Yuan gently pressed her hand against her chest and comforted herself: "Anyway, we will be separated sooner or later."
……
Although Dong Yuehe wanted to keep a low profile, she had too many students. Word spread quickly, and everyone wanted to get a glass of wedding wine. Even though there was only one day to prepare, the number of people who signed up quickly increased from five tables to ten tables, ten tables to thirty tables, thirty tables to fifty tables... When it came to sixty-eight tables, Jiang Baiyan found that the wine hall and the pond outside could no longer accommodate them, so he urgently called a halt.
"Stop, stop, stop. There can't be any more! If there are more, we'll go to town and take over the Civic Square!"
"Bai Yan, you are kidding. Forget about the Civic Square. Add another table, and another table! One table is enough for our family!"
Jiang Baiyan looked at the dozen people, including adults and children, and threw the brush in anger: "Fifteen people squeezed into one table, do you think you are squeezing into a pig cage? Chicken, duck, fish and meat are free! You add more to the table, do you think you can count the money from the village?! This is all paid for by Teacher Dong himself, don't eat up the money that Teacher Dong used to marry a wife!"
When the family heard this, they reached into their own pockets without hesitation: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? We don't need food, we paid for the meal ourselves!"
It has been almost ten years since the reform and opening up, and it is no longer as difficult as it was in the past. The money for a table of food can still be paid, and with this family taking the lead, those who had registered on the spot but had not left came over and started paying again...
After a busy day, Dong Yuehe's dinner party turned into a crowdfunding event. Of course, there was no such thing as crowdfunding in those days. Anyway, it was almost the same.
Jiang Baiyan ran home and told Dong Yuehe and Yuan Yuan about it. Yuan Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is there such a thing? Why don't we return the money to them? It's only a few thousand yuan, and we can afford it."
At that time, prices were low, and setting up a village banquet with 68 tables would only cost about one or two thousand yuan - not including the theater fees.
Jiang Baiyan was shocked: "So you guys are so rich?!"
Yuan Yuan tried to cover up: "No, no, not really."
Jiang Baiyan said: "That will cost more than 1,300."
Without hesitation, she counted out 1,500 yuan and handed it to Jiang Baiyan. Yuan Yuan said, "You should return the money quickly. Just say that this is all the money we have. We will use it to treat everyone to a meal and thank you for your care over the years."
Jiang Baiyan didn't understand what he meant, but he still took it and agreed.
Yuan Yuan thought for a moment and added, "If you return it now, I guess they won't accept it. You can return it after you've eaten it, one by one. This will be more troublesome..."
Jiang Baiyan said: "It's not hard, your idea is good, I'll do as you say."
To thank Jiang Baiyan, Yuan Yuan gave him two more packs of good cigarettes.
After seeing Jiang Baiyan off, Yuan Yuan thought for a while and wrote two things. One was a menu for the village banquet, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and two seafood dishes added to make it look more attractive. The other was an invitation, sent to Lin Hanliang from the film and television base and Boss Zeng, whose whereabouts were unknown.
She took so much pains because she wanted to borrow the power of these big guys to prevent Dong Yuehe from being drained of her blood in the future.
In her previous life, she had encountered many similar situations. At the beginning, she didn't push them to death. Jiang Peiwei and Qi Baolian wanted to be good people, and they responded to the villagers who came to ask for help or money. Later, things deteriorated. The people who came to the door went from being sincere and asking for money to being rogues. The Jiang family couldn't handle it themselves, so they simply hid and pushed Yuan Yuan out.
Yuan Yuan had to resort to drastic measures to put a stop to this trend, but she also lost her own reputation.
Everyone in the village blames Jiang Peiwei's wife, saying that she "changed her face once she became rich." The bad reputation belongs to her, and the good reputation belongs to Jiang Peiwei.
Yuan Yuan had a plan and had to take precautions in advance and draw boundaries, so that she could maintain a harmonious situation where both parties were happy.
……
The next morning, just after breakfast, the Jiangjia Village restaurant kitchen was bustling with activity. The village banquet chefs invited back from the county town drove their motorcycles and brought buckets of secret seasonings. The chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables, and even ginger, onions, garlic, and coriander used in the banquet were all grown by the villagers themselves.
The village banquet was held at noon. Just after 11:30, the banquet was packed with people, eating melon seeds and chatting. The topic was always about Dong Yuehe, the first person in the village who could teach at the county central primary school. She was really the first person who could eat at the county government's table. How respectable!
Fortunately, a young director who had just been promoted to the rank of section chief in a powerful department in the county appeared in the neighboring village, which more or less suppressed Dong Yuehe's limelight. Otherwise, she would be even more powerful than she is now.
As soon as the first dish - boiled chicken - was served, Jiangjia Village was plunged into a sea of joy.
Boiled chicken, braised pork with taro, boiled shrimp, stir-fried beef with green pepper, steamed river fish, lucky money, steamed spareribs with mustard tuber, stir-fried vegetables. In addition, each table has a pot of traditional hot soup, each person has a sweet red bean paste, plus peanuts, melon seeds, chocolate and fruit candies to take away...
The windfall was in hand, which was braised pork knuckle. According to the rules, it was supposed to be made with hair algae, but Yuan Yuan didn't want to eat that unfriendly stuff, so she suggested the chef to use the Hunan style cooking method and provided a large bag of grandmother's vegetables. The grandmother's vegetables were chopped up, added with black beans, a little bit of chili, and braised together with the stewed pork knuckle. The skin of the pork knuckle made in this way can be separated into two sides with a chopstick, it is fat but not greasy, and it is especially delicious with rice.
Boiled shrimp is a must-have at banquets in the city, but it is rare in the village. Shrimp must be eaten alive, and they die easily out of water. If they die for more than 20 minutes, they lose all their flavor.
Yuan Yuan had spent a lot of money to order this dish from a fishing boat in Hepang Village.
The villagers were enjoying the meal with great smiles on their faces. Not long after, Lin Hanliang and Boss Zeng arrived, both driving their cars.
Two black-plate imported cars came together, attracting a lot of attention.
The four large flower baskets that were delivered first were even more colorful and eye-catching.
Dong Yuehe was surprised and delighted. "It is a great honor for us to have you two here. Please take a seat, please take a seat."
The two were arranged as the chief guests, accompanied by Jiang Ruhai, Jiang Baiyan and Jiang Xiyuan. After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became more and more lively. Boss Zeng and Jiang Xiyuan had a pleasant cooperation, so they took this opportunity to socialize.
Yuan Yuan was also busy with socializing. She found that many local tycoons showed up at the village banquet to celebrate Dong Yuehe. Most of these local bosses were Dong Yuehe's students. They all took advantage of the reform and opening up and made their fortunes through various means. There were many people with a net worth of more than 100,000 yuan, not to mention 10,000 yuan. This gathering became a class reunion in another sense.
