Early in the morning, the people in Yushudun were excited again.
The news that Zhao Wei's family was going to hold a birthday party was widely spread.
More than 1,000 people means more than a hundred tables. It is simply a foolish dream to hold a birthday banquet of this scale within one day.
Not to mention that Zhao Wei's family didn't stockpile so much food in advance, even if they did, they didn't have the ability to prepare so many dishes at once.
When Master Liu was dragged here by Zhao Wei, he was very happy and wanted to perform well.
As a result, after hearing Zhao Wei's plan, he left without looking back.
You must be kidding. Even if you split him into eight, he can't do it. Unless you give him three days to prepare.
Zhao Wei naturally knew that this was a bit embarrassing, so he quickly told others about his plan.
He didn't plan to prepare eight big bowls or nine big dishes, so he just used wheat flour to steam longevity peaches, one for each person, plus a bowl of meat porridge, so everyone had a share.
Just come and say auspicious words to the old birthday person in your family and make him happy.
Who dares to hold a grand celebration these days? The wedding banquet for the bridal chamber was held not long ago.
At that time, people went up the mountain to get wild animal meat openly.
Now, only wild boar meat can be used for birthday celebrations. Although the quality is not high, it can be used by many people.
As for other things, once the door is closed, what happens to one's family is another matter.
When the Zhao family was busy as hell, Liu Xiaoyu disappeared for some reason.
She had been begging Zhao Wei to take her back to the city, but because she couldn't get a travel permit, she was forced to stay in the village.
Every day I feel like someone owes me money. I am lazy and greedy, which makes me unpleasant to look at.
If she had been a little bit spoiled in the past, Zhao Wei could still barely be friends with her.
Now, it's just a difficult trouble that I just want to get rid of quickly.
Fortunately, just today, someone came to tell him that the educated youth compound had been completed and they only had to wait until the doors, windows and some furniture were in place before they could take any action.
Moving will only take a day or two.
Zhao Wei looked in the crowd for a long time but couldn't find anyone. Because he was too busy, he could only put the matter aside for the time being.
At this time, as a person with disabled hands, he was watching the family kneading the dough.
Making longevity peaches requires some red dye. The elderly in the village will prepare some red yeast rice in their homes in case of emergency.
Zhao Wei exchanged two kilograms of his ordinary rice for one kilogram of red yeast rice, put it in a stone mill, and ground it into powder.
Add some water, stir thoroughly, and let it soak for a few hours.
After the color comes out, apply this color on the longevity peaches when steaming. The steamed buns after being out of the pot will be this natural pink color, which is very tempting and beautiful.
More than a thousand longevity peaches are equivalent to about 200 kilograms of wheat flour.
This little bit of noodles only costs twenty or thirty yuan. If you make it yourself using wheat flour, then you don’t have to spend a penny.
Therefore, Zhao Wei spent almost no money on rice, flour and oil to organize this birthday party.
This would take a full five or six hours, as he had to stay to prepare for the birthday. Even if the old man was unhappy, he had to endure it.
Because Zhao Wei said directly that if they wanted someone to host a birthday party for them in the future, they should not be the ones who spoiled the fun.
The old couple silently calculated their birthdays and found that the time was not far away. Next month, it would be the old lady's turn.
For so many years, they have no son, only a daughter to organize the birthday party, and it feels a little different.
Why are you so obsessed with your son? Isn't it just to have a son to take care of you in your old age?
They are old now and need a son.
It was at this time that Zhao Yong was finally able to appear openly.
He first asked them how they were, and then actually brought a bear paw over for them to take a look.
Looking at the bear paws that had been dried into bacon, they doubted whether their teeth could bite them.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. Tomorrow I will make sure to stew it until it's softer so you can taste it."
"Actually... ahem... it would be a great honor if we could serve this dish at my parents' birthday party."
Then, he whispered softly: "Dad, I don't plan to give this thing to my father-in-law. I'm leaving it for you. We are the closest relatives, hehe..."
This thing is dry and has no chewing content anymore, so of course I have to leave it to my parents.
As for my father-in-law, they have bad teeth and have to eat fresh and soft food.
Today's meat porridge is specially made for you two elders.
Instead of preparing a bunch of food that they can't eat and staring at it, it's better to take good care of their stomachs and teeth. This is the real filial piety, and the rest is just empty talk.
Although blood ties may vary, so may feelings.
During these days, Zhao Yong had already suppressed his longing for his relatives.
Not all elderly people can be called qualified parents.
He would support his grandfather and others, but that was all.
As for this dried bear paw, if they still remember to eat it, he will naturally offer it to them. It all depends on the decision of the two elders.
Sure enough, the two old men had been actively scheming all their lives, and what they cared about most was their face, so they decided to keep the bear paw for the time being.
I have been feeling very angry since I was driven out of the family compound these days. It would be a good thing if I could make up for what I lost with the help of this son.
