Eleven o'clock is when the guests arrive. The waiters will serve tea and water and arrange seats for the guests, so the couple can help in the kitchen.
Xia Ruzheng thanked him and went to the restaurant with a full stomach.
The restaurant was already very busy at this time. Fortunately, all the cardboard supplies were complete, otherwise I would have to borrow things.
There were big and small basins and buckets everywhere, some of which were filled with soaking vegetables, and some of which were filled with unwashed vegetables. Several chefs were cutting vegetables, and several waiters were working hard to wash them. From vegetarian dishes to meat dishes to seafood, they all had to be washed and cut cleanly, and then put into the pot. By eleven o'clock, all the food had to be cooked and taken out of the pot.
Xia Ruzheng was very happy and touched by the employees' enthusiasm. He said, "After the banquet, I'll give everyone a red envelope!"
The employees happily agreed. The boss lady was really generous!
Xia Ruzheng also sat there helping to peel peanuts and do some light work.
At around nine o'clock, all the fires were lit, and everything that needed to be cooked and stewed was cooked. The restaurant was still busy.
It’s just because we haven’t given up selling fast food that everyone is busier.
At around ten o'clock, the aroma of food began to waft in the air. Xia Ruzheng was in charge of tasting the dishes. If he felt the taste was right, he would say it was ready and the chefs would take over.
At this moment, Xia Ruzheng was extremely glad that he had recruited so many people in the first place, otherwise he would really be too busy! Thinking about four people hosting a wedding banquet, it was really too unrealistic.
At around ten o'clock, someone from the newlyweds' side came to see how the food was. It looked like it was almost ready, and the dishes would be cooked when the time came. I felt relieved. I had been worried that this was a private restaurant and the service would not be as good as a state-owned one, but now it seems that my worries were completely unnecessary!
Xia Ruzheng is not very familiar with the current wedding customs in Guangzhou. He only knows that the newlyweds will arrive here around 12 o'clock, but some guests will arrive early, so it is also important to entertain them at this time.
At around eleven o'clock, guests arrived and asked if this was a family wedding banquet. Du Juan, who was guarding the door, agreed and arranged for waiters to take the guests to their seats. Tea and water were served, and some snacks and fruit plates were already on the table. The guests were quite satisfied. They looked at the restaurant's layout and found it very nice. Some state-owned restaurants don't even decorate you, saying they are too lazy to dismantle and install. But privately owned ones do a very good job.
The guests arrived one after another and the reception went on in an orderly manner.
Many of the guests knew each other, and it was quite lively with everyone greeting each other. Xia Ruzheng felt relieved when he saw this scene.
At around 12:15 noon, the newlyweds arrived in a small car. Nowadays, people rent this kind of small car as a wedding car to make it convenient for the newlyweds to travel.
With so many customers coming at once, the waiters were so busy that they had no time to spare. Fortunately, things were still managed in an orderly manner.
The newlyweds also went upstairs. The girl wore a white dress and the boy wore a suit. They both looked very sweet. Xia Ruzheng noticed that Du Juan had been looking at the bride with envy, and he secretly remembered it in his heart.
Upstairs, Xia Ruzheng had a simple stage built. After the guests were seated, the newlyweds and their parents could say a few words, and then the banquet could begin.
Although they were far away, Xia Ruzheng could still see that the newlyweds and their parents were quite excited, thanking everyone for coming. The effect was quite good. The bride hugged her mother and cried. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Xia Ruzheng was really anxious. Then he saw a young man take the stage and said, "Daughters are the treasures of their mothers. Now that their precious daughter is getting married, it's inevitable that they will feel reluctant. Groom, now's your chance to show off. Starting tomorrow, your mother-in-law will love you more and more!"
The groom was quite clever and hurried forward and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will take good care of her. She will come back to her parents' home often to see you and Dad!"
They were speaking Cantonese, but Xia Ruzheng still understood. The simple words made the guests below cheer. Xia Ruzheng also wiped away her tears. She remembered that her father had sent her to get married, and she must have been very reluctant!
Everything went smoothly and the banquet was soon started with food and wine served.
Xia Ruzheng silently remembered the young man who bravely went on stage. Someone who could save the situation at such a critical moment was also very important. If he had a reliable character, he could consider entrusting him with an important task.
The banquet began, the newlyweds started to toast, and the waiters served the dishes in an orderly manner. Everything went smoothly afterwards, and Xia Ruzheng quietly went downstairs.
The kitchen was still busy, so Xia Ruzheng sat at the door, watching the guests in the lobby eating and chatting. Although he was tired, it felt pretty good!
Seeing the banquet coming to an end, Xia Ruzheng was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw someone running over, panting and saying, "Boss lady, something bad has happened!"
