Chapter 173 Meeting Comrades
Chapter 173 Meeting Comrades
This is the first time that Wei Jingze is leading the banquet. Master Yingqi has the final say on everything in the kitchen. When and what dishes will be served and the order in which the dishes are delivered are all up to Master Yingqi, but Wei Jingze has to control other things well, how to set up the tables, how to set up as many tables as possible, entertain as many guests as possible, what kind of guests should probably sit in what position is better, and when guests come, they must Say hello to the master first, so Wei Jingze has to greet guests and so on. Thinking about it, I feel a bit incompetent!
On this day, Chen Han didn't go to the canteen either, he explained the matter of the canteen a few days in advance, and let the apprentices work step by step, and there would be no problems.
Early in the morning, while eating breakfast, Wei Jingze reminded everyone: "When everyone leaves the room later, remember to lock the door. There are many guests coming and going at home today, and the villagers all want to see To see the appearance of the new house, it is estimated that they will also go upstairs, if it is not complete, some people will have bad intentions and steal something, but they will not be aware of it, so you have to be careful about your own things."
This is mainly for the second and third generations. They may not care about it themselves, but a lipstick costs thousands, and any accessory is a limited edition of any brand. It feels really distressing to lose it.Wei Jingze would also feel sorry for others.
Jiang Yanzong agreed and said: "That is, you look after your own things, don't think that we will look after them for you."
Most people kept nodding their heads in agreement, not sure if they took it to heart.Wei Jingze thought in his heart, he still needs to take some time to go upstairs and have a look. He has the keys of each room in his hand, so it is not difficult to help lock the door, the most important thing is safety.
This is also the reason why Wei Jingze's bedrooms are basically covered with carpets, and the corridors and living rooms are not covered with carpets. It is a habit to pay attention to yourself at home, but outsiders may not follow your habits, so the public areas can be directly pasted with tiles.
The old man was not used to laying carpets at first, but after a few months, he got used to it. He thinks that laying carpets is also very good, and it is quite comfortable to step on the ground without wearing shoes, without feeling cold.
The second and third generations were most interested in the food. When they asked what dishes were served today, Master Yingqi casually reported the names of some dishes, which made everyone drool.
"Look at your greedy faces, you're worthless!" Chen Han expressed contempt.
Well, he can also despise others in this regard.
Everyone ignored him, don't talk to this kind of guy!
"By the way, where will our table be placed then?"
"This is a problem. If we choose a place to get the table on our own, we won't be able to help others, and we won't cause trouble for them."
"I think it's just a small living room, how about it? Put together a few tables and see how many people we have, and deliver food according to the number of people. Anyway, when others eat below, we eat above without disturbing each other."
The banquet must be held in the new house, the living room has been vacated, and even the sofa has been moved to the corner, just for the convenience of setting tables.The dining room has been requisitioned by the kitchen, and even the dining table is full of all kinds of pots, baskets and dishes, and under the table are all dishes and chopsticks for entertaining guests.
Wei Jingze's more troublesome thing is the place where the second and third generations eat banquets and where the old men and old ladies eat banquets. People mainly come here to support them. It's not sure if they really eat, but it's not certain that they want to eat the craftsmanship of Master Yingqi. If today.But those people are different from the relatives and friends in the countryside, and they don't have a common language when they mix together. It's better to open up a separate place for them to eat and drink.
Since they themselves offered to eat in the small living room, it saved them trouble.
The proposal passed.
Wei Jingze and Jiang Yanzong discussed privately where to arrange banquets for the old men and women. After much deliberation, the garden might be more suitable. The garden has grass and a pond. The scenery is better and quieter, and it will not be disturbed. The guests in front are disturbing.
Early in the morning, I cleaned the inside and outside of the house, and then packed all the fruit plates and the like. The candies and the like distributed to each table have been packed according to the head, and then placed on each table. Just let them distribute it themselves.
At this time, Aunt Dongmei and Aunt Huixian both came, and they both wore bright clothes, especially Aunt Huixian. His attire is eye-catching.
"Ozawa, we are here to help!"
Wei Jingze stopped what he was doing and said, "Why are you here so early?"
Aunt Dongmei said with a smile: "I specially set aside today, and came after breakfast."
"The guests haven't come yet! It's okay."
"Hey! In addition to making tea, serving tea and washing tea cups, we can also do other tasks!"
Aunt Huixian also nodded and said, "That's right!"
Wei Jingze thought that there are indeed many things to do today, since someone is willing to help, of course it is very good, so he nodded and said: "Then you see what you need to do! If there is no work to do, take a break now Son, I'm going to get busy later."
When a woman is really busy, she is really not afraid of not being able to find work to do.I saw Aunt Dongmei and Aunt Huixian holding tea bags and filling jars with tea leaves and sesame beans, and the other opening all the tea cups in a row, putting the tea leaves and sesame beans into the tea cups one by one, and waiting until As soon as the guests come, just wash it with boiling water and serve it to others.Country tea is crude tea.
After a while, Aunt Huang also came.
"Auntie, are you here? What's the matter?"
Aunt Huang waved her hand and said, "Why don't you come and see what your family is busy with?"
"But..." Wei Jingze didn't ask Aunt Huang for help!But Aunt Huang's man, Pan Gensheng, will help serve the dishes.
For this kind of thing, it is usually enough for a family to have one person to help.
Aunt Huang approached a little closer, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I am grateful to you because of Jingui's matter, and I am here to help you with a day's work today, so you are welcome."
Aunt Huang was worried that her daughter's life would not be good if she got divorced. After all, she still had two daughters by her side, but Pan Jingui did a good job with Wei Jingze. very timely.Pan Jingui went back and said that the work was not very heavy, and that she was very happy to do it. Aunt Huang saw that she really looked a lot better, and she didn't seem to be pretending to be ironic at all, so she felt more relieved. She was grateful for Wei Jingze I can't even mention my mood.
Wei Jingze's family had such a good thing today, so of course they hurried over to help.
Before Wei Jingze had time to agree, Aunt Huang ran over to the stove for boiling water and said, "The water is boiling, I've filled it into the kettle!"
With such an initiative, Wei Jingze couldn't refuse his kindness.
Unexpectedly, after a while, He Lianzi, who always likes to be timid, also came, greeted Wei Jingze, didn't even say the reason, and ran to wipe the table with a rag. In fact, the table had been wiped once.
As the sun rose day by day, around ten o'clock, Wei Jingze welcomed his first guest, who was his former comrade-in-arms.
"Xiao Xiang, you're here so early!"
The one named Xiao Xiang ran over directly, gave Wei Jingze a bear hug, and slapped Wei Jingze hard on the back a few times. I feel really excited that I haven't seen it for a long time.
Xiaoxiang's name is Zhu Xiang, and he was with Wei Jingze. When Wei Jingze was the platoon leader, he was a soldier under him. Trusting the other party with reservations, Wei Jingze was still worried about what he would do when he went outside in the future!
"Platoon leader, congratulations, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have such a beautiful house."
Wei Jingze swallowed his emotions, smiled, and said, "Yes, thanks to the blessing of this place."
"Let me introduce you to the platoon leader. This is my daughter-in-law. You can call her Xiaoqin. This is my son, Dabao. Xiaoqin, this is the platoon leader I told you about. I take good care of you, Dabao, call him Uncle!"
Wei Jingze is older than Zhu Xiang, I didn't expect that children can talk now, how time flies!
Dabao was also about two years old, and was a little shy. Wei Jingze teased him a few times, and then called him uncle. Wei Jingze gave him a candy, and the kid immediately took it. He looked very cute.
"Come here this time, stay for two days before leaving! It's rare for us to see each other once."
Zhu Xiang nodded: "Okay! That's my plan too, I'll go back to work after May Day."
"what are you doing now?"
"With the help of my family, I got a job in the Urban Construction Bureau, and my salary can support my family." Zhu Xiang was a little embarrassed.
Wei Jingze didn't expect that the innocent young man back then would also start to work in the system now.
"Okay, it's good to be able to support the family. Go and rest for a while, and let's have a good chat after today's meal!"
Zhu Xiang agreed without hesitation, told Wei Jingze, and took his wife and children to see Wei Jingze's new house.
Goodbye comrades-in-arms, Wei Jingze is also in a rather excited mood. Army life has a great influence on Wei Jingze. He was recruited into the army at a very young age, was trained by the army, and studied in a military school. It is similar to the growth trajectory of ordinary people. It is completely different, so his feelings for the army and his comrades are also very unusual.
But Zhu Xiang came after Yang Tianjian retired from the army, so the two of them didn't know each other.
After ten o'clock, the number of guests gradually increased, and the family was officially busy.
Peanuts and melon seeds were brought to the guests. Many of them were standing or sitting in a group and chatting. Most of them were talking about the new house. After they arrived, many of them had a fight with the owner. Greetings, the first thing is to take a look around and visit the new house.
The house of Wei Jingze's family is really different from ordinary rural houses, and also different from those in the city, which attracted many people's compliments.
