On the second day of the banquet, it is the banquet table.
There are eight people at each table, and each table has thirteen dishes, including three snacks provided by the Xie family: shredded pork, fish skin peanuts, and spicy strips.
This was not as easy as yesterday. Cheng Yue and Cheng Wen had to stand in front of the stove and cook until no one came.
The pork with preserved vegetables and steamed pork with rice flour have already been steamed in a bowl. Today, you just need to reheat them and then turn them over to the plate.
The braised pork elbow was prepared last night, and there are only a few steps left today.
Chicken soup, old duck soup, etc. have to be stewed in the morning and served on the table at a certain time.
The other dishes are fried fresh.
Cheng Yue had already made a list of thirteen dishes: braised pork elbow with soy sauce, braised pork with preserved vegetables, steamed pork with rice flour, chicken stewed with mushrooms, sour radish and old duck soup, twice-cooked pork with potato slices, fish in tomato sauce, bamboo shoots with pickled peppers, stir-fried green beans, stir-fried yam with cold noodles, white fungus and lotus seed soup, and old pumpkin soup.
After Cheng Yue came home from running, she started preparing with Cheng Wen.
First, stew the Tremella and lotus seed soup.
Someone in the village had three large pots for holding banquets at home, which were placed on the stove next to the door.
Cheng Wen, Cheng Yue, and Jiang, the mother and son, were all strong men. One of them came out of the house carrying a basin half a person's height.
Everyone in the village knew that the mother and son were very strong, and they had seen it more than once, but they were still shocked when they saw it again.
Wow, this big pot is full, but it would take two strong adults to carry it out of the Cheng family kitchen without stopping. The mother and her two children look so relaxed.
Cheng Wen, Cheng Yue, and Jiang Shi: "What is a break? We three don't know! Hahahaha..."
Cheng Yue did not add palm water separately to the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. She would put a lot of palm water into the well at home when she drew water every morning.
After the lotus seed soup was cooked, we started to call the women in the village to help prepare the chickens and ducks.
The men in Xinghua Village who are free help to watch the firewood or follow Cheng Wu up the mountain to collect firewood, while the women prepare vegetables.
To people from other villages, it felt like it wasn't the Cheng family that was having a wedding, but rather the entire Xinghua Village was having a wedding.
Because some people from other villages learned the news late yesterday, they came early today.
Those who are thick-skinned will chat idly, while those who are thin-skinned will lend a hand.
But Xinghua Village is not short of manpower!
They happily told the people from other villages, "Jin Yan, you know, he's the scholar of our village, and he's the top scorer in Taoyuan County! Top scorer, you know? No one in the entire Taoyuan County can surpass him in the exam!"
"Let me tell you, Jin Yan from our village is a good kid. He's been sensible since he was young. I've always felt he has a promising future. Let me tell you..."
“…”
Cheng Shun looked at the lively scene inside and outside the door happily, feeling very proud.
Hahahaha, the popularity is high, the popularity is high, my Cheng family will get better and better, it will definitely get better.
On the first day of April, Lord Ji did not come to the buffet, nor did the Huang and Xie families, and neither did Xue Hanyu.
Those who came were villagers from Xinghua Village, as well as folks from the surrounding villages within a dozen miles, and people from the city who knew about the happy event and liked to watch the fun and take advantage of it.
Everyone likes a free lunch.
The Cheng family members were all very tired, except Ning Wazi, but they were all very happy. They were busy until the evening of Hai, which was much later than yesterday.
