Cheng Jinyan didn't recognize several people who came to register their accounts afterwards, and he was a little confused.
"Mom, mom, come here!"
Cheng Jinyan called out to Gu Xuelan who was passing by the main hall.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Xuelan was busy, but still went to the accounting desk.
"Mom, a lot of people here aren't our relatives or friends, but they've eaten at our tavern before or are planning to. They've all been put on the bill. Do you think you should ask Aunt to prepare some more longevity noodles and vegetables? I'm worried we won't have enough to eat!"
Cheng Jin said.
"Mrs. Cheng, what Jin Yan said is right! From what I heard from these people, they heard from the shops around your restaurant that the old man was celebrating his birthday and came here. This is not within your family's budget!"
Liu the blacksmith also said this.
"Okay! I'll tell Ayue!"
Gu Xuelan looked towards the yard. Indeed, she didn't recognize many of the people. However, there were a few who looked familiar, but she couldn't remember their names. They must be people she met often when walking around the city.
After saying that, Gu Xuelan did not delay and found Cheng Yue to tell her about it.
"Sister-in-law, I just found out and have already asked Shanshui to go to the city to have flour delivered. My brother and I can handle it, don't worry. Even if we fill up a hundred tables today, my brother and I can still handle it."
Cheng Yue had discovered this problem a long time ago, so she had already made arrangements.
There are twenty tables in one round of banquets, and one hundred tables means five rounds. Cheng Yue wants to see if he can reach one hundred tables.
There were ten people at each table, and there were only about three hundred people in their village. She couldn't believe that there could really be a hundred tables.
Zhang Lizheng began to ask the men in the village to help hang lanterns.
Although it gets dark late in the evenings in June, we still need to light and clean up soon.
Hang up the lanterns first, and then light them one by one when it starts to get dark.
As soon as the hour of You arrived, Zhang Lizheng stood at the door of the main hall and shouted for dinner.
The elders from each family in the village went to the Cheng family's house to look for their children to come and take the first ride.
Except for children, most of the passengers in the first wheel were outsiders.
There is a big bowl of longevity noodles on each table.
Cut the day lily, potatoes, fungus, and green pepper into dices as small as a fingernail.
Heat oil, stir-fry chopped onion, ginger, garlic and diced meat. After the aroma comes out, add chili powder, peppercorns, chili peppers and meat slices.
A rich aroma immediately burst out.
Add soy sauce and rice wine to stir-fry, add diced side dishes, and pour in aged vinegar. The slight sour taste is interspersed with the rich spicy aroma.
A big bowl of longevity noodles is ready.
The men in the village began to serve the dishes, one table at a time.
After the longevity noodles are served, various small side dishes are served.
I made a dish of twice-cooked pork with chopped chili peppers. The chopped chili peppers are unique to the farmers around the scenic area where Cheng Yue lived in her previous life. Chop the red chili peppers into very fine pieces, then mix them with cornmeal and salt, put them in a jar, cover it with a lid, and add some water to the outside of the jar like making kimchi.
This is what Cheng Yue taught Jiang and asked her to make at home. It happened that several waves of chili peppers in their yard ripened a few days ago, so Jiang made several large jars of them.
Cold cucumber salad, Tremella soup, Mapo tofu, braised fish fillets, stir-fried potatoes with green beans, stir-fried vegetables, and tender pumpkin soup.
The portions are generous, so even if someone at the table has a big appetite, they can still order more dishes after they finish eating.
I also steamed a pot of rice in the evening because I was worried that some people would not have enough noodles.
Those who came to eat for free all felt that the money they spent was worth it, and they were worthy of being the chef brother and sister of Cheng’s private kitchen!
