"That's good."
Sheep and chickens have been slaughtered, and plenty of fish and meat have been prepared.
Grandpa and Grandma came over too.
Do you need our help?
"You two have come at the perfect time. I've recently developed a few new dishes. Why don't you try them and see if they suit your taste?"
Shi Meiling handed each of the two elders a small bowl.
Cao Wenxiu and Zhuang Bingqian took a taste.
"Great, it'll definitely be served at the banquet tomorrow."
"I think it's good too, it suits my taste."
"Okay, serve all these dishes tomorrow."
How many people helped with the cooking?
"Quite a few."
Qinglin is one, as are Zhimeng's aunt's husband and her uncle. Qingbai and Zhimeng also cook a few of their signature dishes.
"Shall I send a few cooks over?"
"Isn't that a bad idea? Won't people say you're using your position for personal gain?"
Zhuang Zhimeng walked over.
"It's alright, Grandpa. I borrowed a few people from Grandpa Cui. They're paid."
"That works too, then I won't worry about it."
"Grandpa, there are still things that worry you."
"Go ahead and say it."
"We don't have enough tables. The tables at home are all very heavy and inconvenient to move."
"How many tables are we still missing?"
"We need five more tables. We have fifteen that we can move around in the house, so about twenty tables should be enough."
Do we need twenty tables for all of us?
"Yes, we need twenty tables for the relatives of the three families."
"Okay, I'll arrange it. Have five tables delivered right away. Is five enough?"
"That's enough, we didn't notify too many people."
"Okay, I'll make a call."
Zhuang Zhimeng walked to her lover's side.
"Honey, is the tent all set up?"
"Once it's all set up, there's plenty of space in the courtyard; it'll be enough to accommodate twenty tables."
"Are the thermal base mats all ready?"
"Yes, this time we'll be using a self-service format, with each dish placed on an insulated base."
This way we won't have many leftovers.
“That’s great. My mother and I have also prepared the pastries.”
We've set a precedent by having a completely buffet-style wedding banquet.
"My wife's ideas are really great! What kind of drinks should we get?"
"Let's use our liquor."
"Okay, take ten bottles, is that enough?"
"That's not enough. We should have at least two bottles on each table. Take twenty bottles, and put away any leftovers."
"Okay, I understand."
Ready.
