Chapter 409: Each One's Own Arrangements

The current market situation is slightly different from that in the 1970s.

Therefore, Zhan Yun's family did not ask for a dowry, but only asked the Liu family to prepare the three turns and one ring.

Zhan Yun's family gave away some household furniture as a dowry, such as a bed, a wardrobe and so on.

That is what Liu Qian and Zhan Yun will need after they get married.

As the parents of both parties, the Zhan family did not have to pay for anything other than bedding and small furniture items.

As for the wedding banquet, we held it at our home in the countryside.

After all, this is also the custom in the countryside, to have a buffet and entertain guests from all over the world.

The people to be invited are relatives of both parties.

Liu Yu and Fan Guizhen also went to Qianjin Village on the day of the wedding to help prepare the banquet.

When planning a banquet in the countryside, the first step is to make overall arrangements and decide who should be invited to help.

How many tables do I need to borrow, as well as bowls, chopsticks, etc.

According to the general procedure, the first round of banquets will have about thirty tables.

That is enough for three or four people to have a feast.

The second round was the same.

If there are too many people invited, I'm afraid even two rounds may not be enough.

Some families will have a banquet at the table.

So it may take more than three rounds.

But this would extend the timeline.

So generally speaking, the number of people should be calculated based on the needs of the dinner party.

If there are really 50 tables, we will need at least 50 tables, so we can arrange them in two rounds.

This way, a lot of ingredients and bowls and chopsticks are needed.

Fifty tables require five sets of tableware and chopsticks.

Moreover, they may not be able to keep up with the reuse and rearrangement of the table.

So you need to prepare a thousand sets of bowls and chopsticks.

In this way, after the first round of banquet is finished and the banquet is cleared away, new bowls and chopsticks can be served for the second round.

The same applies when serving dishes.

There is a saying among the people that there are nine big bowls.

That is to say, there will be nine kinds of dishes at the wedding banquet.

Jiuqiu dishes are almost all meat dishes.

Even in very poor times, it was acceptable to kill a pig for a banquet in rural areas.

What's more, if you want to hold a wedding banquet with several tables, one pig may not be enough.

At least three pigs.

In addition to pigs, there are also chickens, ducks, geese, and fish. Nothing can be missing.

At this time, Liu Yu's planting space played a big role.

She, Fan Guizhen, and several other adults in the family discussed holding a banquet for her eldest brother Liu Xian.

Liu Yu was responsible for all the ingredients.

She is responsible for everything from the preparation of pork to the scallion.

She doesn't need to buy it, she can just take it from the space.

He Zhu refused to let Liu Yu do this himself.

So I gave her two thousand yuan immediately.

Each table costs 20 yuan, which means 10 tables cost 2,000 yuan.

Just think about it, in the countryside, spending two thousand yuan on a wedding banquet is simply a luxury!

After all, everyone’s income level is not high.

But it is different in Qianjin Village. It has long been a village that can earn foreign exchange, so the per capita annual income has already reached several thousand yuan.

In addition, He Zhu had saved money for Liu Qie five years ago in order to help him get married.
