"Yeah, that's good, that's good. When I was young, if someone in the village was having a feast, it would really cost a lot of money to help."
Jiang was the first to agree.
"Well, I think Ayue's suggestion is a good one. When we have a banquet in our village, there are only a few fixed people helping out. There are about twenty women, working in the kitchen and outside washing dishes and serving food. One apron for each of them is enough. There are about thirty men in total, and each of them can get a bar of soap. It's not a big expense."
Gu Xuelan also agreed.
When the Queen of Da Qi came to power, soap had already been made, so Cheng Yue did not tinker with this profitable business.
After all these years, soap is not expensive, only perfumed soap is a bit expensive.
A bar of soap costs five cents, which the Cheng family has been using. They use soapberries to wash their hands and take a bath, and they also use soapberries to wash their hair.
If it were in the past, Cheng Shun would definitely not do it, but now, his family is making money, and the villagers also helped them organize a great buffet last time. Next, Cheng Yue is getting married, and they need everyone to help, so they have to win people's hearts.
Forty bars of soap cost only two hundred coins. As for the apron, my eldest daughter-in-law runs the embroidery shop, so she must have bought it at the lowest price.
So Cheng Shun agreed and handed the task of buying soap and aprons to Gu Xuelan.
Because Cheng Yue and Shanshui had set a date for their wedding, and Cheng Shun thought that his two grandsons were so promising and their two grandsons were old enough to get married, it was inevitable that they would have to hold a few banquets, so he asked Dagen to make the tables and chairs long ago.
There were twenty tables in total, with foldable round tables and benches designed by Cheng Yue, each table could seat ten people. The tables and benches were made before Cheng Yue's dowry was packed.
If you want to invite guests, the villagers will know as long as they ask for help. People from the neighboring village who have dealings with the Cheng family don't need to be invited specifically, as those who are interested will ask proactively.
As for the friends and partners Cheng Yue made after arriving, Cheng Yue planned to invite them in person tomorrow.
It’s not that you want others to give you anything, but if others know that your father is having a wedding and you don’t tell them, they will think you look down on him.
Anyway, hosting a banquet is a matter of reciprocity.
After talking about Cheng Shun’s 50th birthday, everyone continued to discuss their plans for next month.
It’s almost the same. I don’t have any extra thoughts. I just keep working towards my goals.
After the Cheng family finished speaking, it was Shanshui's turn.
Shanshui didn't consider himself an outsider at all and told him his plans for June one by one.
July 7th is the day they are getting married, so Shanshui's plan for June is mainly to prepare for the wedding. As for his new business, he is not in a hurry at all and is taking it slow. The original owners of those shops are still under Shanshui's investigation.
Cheng Shun and Jiang didn't know much about business, so they just asked Shanshui to be more careful. If he didn't understand anything, he could tell them and they could discuss it together. If he encountered any difficulties, they could tell them and they could solve them together.
The old couple told Shanshui that he was now a member of the Cheng family, so he should not consider himself an outsider but should treat the Cheng family as his home.
If Shanshui had other family members, the old couple would naturally not say this, but Shanshui had no other family members. For the old couple, this was just like having another son.
They really treated Shanshui as their own son, and treated him almost the same as Cheng Yue and his siblings.
Especially Cheng Shun, who beat Shanshui and scolded him a lot.
