After the ceremony, the next thing is a more lively banquet. This is common both at home and abroad.
After the wedding ceremony in China, the host will set up a sumptuous banquet to entertain the guests who came to watch the ceremony. The same is true abroad. However, there are many kinds of banquets abroad, including cold buffets, buffets, and more generous barbecue banquets, etc.
In comparison, wedding banquets in China are more lively. After all, wedding banquets in most places in China adopt the format of ten or eight people per table, and then when dozens or even hundreds of tables are set up, it is really lively.
The Yang family is setting up a buffet today, a whole day of buffet, from noon to night, as long as you come to show your support, just sit down and eat. Yang Jing really doesn't care whether you pay a contribution or not. If you are willing to give a red envelope, I will accept it with a smile to express my gratitude. If you come with empty hands and bare shoulders, I don't mind, just sit down and eat and drink, anyway, the wedding should be lively.
The Grand Canal Leisure Park was large enough to accommodate hundreds of buffets. However, in order to cater to the celebrities and dignitaries, Yang Jing still placed dozens of tables in the small square in front of his house. If the celebrities and dignitaries wanted to eat here, they could eat here. If they wanted to have fun with the guests outside, Yang Jing would not stop them.
In an occasion like today, there is no need to consider safety at all. Today we just want to have fun.
In order to prepare for the buffet, Yang Jing's secretarial team not only brought in the chef teams of several star-rated hotels in Tianqu City, but also found the chef teams of three five-star hotels in Yanjing, and also found the direct disciples of Tianqu's most famous Ten Bowls. When getting married in Tianqu, the Ten Bowls handed down from ancient times in Tianqu City are the ten indispensable dishes on the banquet.
Fortunately, we prepared enough, otherwise it would be really troublesome today, because even Yang Jing didn't expect that in addition to the banquets for relatives, friends, celebrities and dignitaries, there were more than 400 tables of buffets throughout the day. When many residents around the Grand Canal Leisure Park heard about the buffet, many of them came to eat. If the chef team from the two five-star hotels in Tianqu City could only make half of it, they would be exhausted.
Fortunately, the preparations were sufficient and the buffet did not cause any delays, making the several thousand people very satisfied with the meal.
In Tianqu, the number of buffets represents the size of the host's reputation. The more people eat at the buffet, the greater the host's reputation. In the past, only the landlords and wealthy families dared to host such buffets. How could ordinary people afford it? But even the landlords and wealthy families did not dare to host hundreds of tables like the old Yang family. Usually, 30 or 40 tables would be a big deal.
Today, the Yang family had over 500 tables set up, and the guests were happy to eat, and the elders of Yang Jing's family were all very happy. Money was nothing to the Yang family, and the most important thing was to make Yang's father and mother proud through this event.
Originally, Yang Jing wanted to hold a three-day banquet, but later, considering the status of Gege's father, he reduced it to one day. Although it was just the Yang family marrying a daughter-in-law, Bai Zhengqiang was also marrying a daughter. If the celebration was too grand, it would have a bad impact.
Of course, the fact that so many banquets were held today was also a signal of approval from the upper echelons. After all, Yang Jing's status was obvious. Without considering other things, just looking at the celebrities and politicians flying in from abroad was enough. If it weren't for this reason, Bai Zhengqiang couldn't even attend the banquet. He had to take his status into consideration.
Now, with the hint from the upper level, Bai Zhengqiang, the father-in-law, can also open his heart and attend his daughter's wedding banquet.
The banquet lasted until around nine o'clock in the evening, and the grand wedding came to a successful conclusion.
(PS: Speaking of buffets, Lao Mo can't help but think of the time when he went to Heyuan, Guangdong to purchase goods a few years ago. The hotel where Lao Mo stayed was located at the junction of urban and rural areas. As a result, it happened that a local secretary of the party committee married his daughter that day, and then a buffet was set up. The guests were free to eat. Not only did they not ask for red envelopes, but the guests who came to the wedding banquet, whether they knew each other or not, were given a red envelope of 660 yuan. As a result, Lao Mo not only had a sumptuous wedding banquet for free, but also received a red envelope of 660 yuan. It was really luxurious...)
In the Yang family villa, the relatives of Yang Jing and Gege also gathered together. Those who could sit here were all the closest relatives of Yang Jing and Gege.
Yang Jing's grandmother and step-grandfather came from Zibo, as did his two sons and two daughters, his second uncle and aunt, and his second cousin Yang Nan and his family of three, as well as his great aunt and his great cousin Yang Tao. As for his grandfather, it goes without saying that his grandparents, uncle, aunt, two aunts, two uncles-in-law, and his cousin and two cousins were all here.
Although there were not many people from Gege's side, they were all Gege's closest relatives. Gege's uncle, second uncle and aunt's families also came, Gege's grandmother, uncle and aunt's family of three, and aunt's husband's family of three also came, a total of nearly 40 people.
Fortunately, the Yang family villa is large enough, and the spacious living room is more than enough to accommodate four tables.
Yang Jing didn't care about the celebrities and politicians outside. Anyway, he had met them two days before the wedding and they were considered to be acquainted. So today, Yang Jing had to devote his time to himself and Gege's relatives.
The dinner was quite pleasant. As most of Yang Jing's generation were only children, the marriage of a couple involved not only the families of the newlyweds, but also the families of many relatives of both parties. After all, this was the formation of a new family, and a new family was added to each family.
