Xia Jin bought a lot of things at this big market, most of which were mountain products, and some small items made by farmers themselves.
They grow their own vegetables at home, so they didn't buy any. In addition to meat, they also bought some soy products to add to the table, which is also a dish.
In addition to food, there were also shops selling clothes and cloth. You guys went over to take a look, but didn't see anything you liked, so you didn't buy anything.
We also met many acquaintances at the market, and they all greeted the family with a smile. Seeing that they wanted to buy things, we didn't bother them too much.
After Xia Jin and the others bought some things they needed for tomorrow, they carried their backpacks and went home.
After returning home, I was busy setting up the scene and preparing for tomorrow's banquet. Everyone who needed to be notified was notified. The village chief just needed to shout to the people in the village through the loudspeaker.
After they returned home, they had lunch first and then started to get busy with tomorrow's affairs.
They don't have that many tables, benches and other things at home, so they have to borrow them from their neighbors.
It's always like this when we have a dinner party in the village. You borrow from mine and I borrow from yours. Otherwise, who would prepare so many things at once?
When the villagers heard about this, some of them took the initiative to take out their belongings from their homes and help them with the arrangements the next day.
The next morning, when most people were still asleep, the meat ordered yesterday had already been delivered.
"Grandpa, look at this freshly slaughtered pig! It's so fresh! I picked out the biggest and fattest one for you. I guarantee it'll be delicious."
Grandpa Xia looked him up and down for a few times, and the one on the board nodded and said:
"Okay, okay, that's great. How many pounds? I'll give you the money too. Did you bring the pork elbows I wanted?"
"Of course, I can't help but bring you what you want. You are one of my most important customers."
"Master, if you have something good like this again, come to me. I promise to make it beautiful for you, just like this time."
"Okay, I'll find you next time."
Then Grandpa Xia calculated the bill and gave him the money. The man took the money and left in a hurry with his own people. He had to go back to continue selling meat.
Looking at the pig and the big pork elbows in his yard, Grandpa Xia took something and covered them to prevent flies from getting them dirty.
After a while, Grandpa Xia's relatives from the village came to help. They first arranged the tables that they borrowed yesterday in the threshing ground.
While they were setting up, the chef came over with his apprentices and staff.
There happened to be space in the threshing ground, so they went there to cook. The stove was just temporarily set up yesterday.
Although it was just from a fight, it’s enough. The chef took a look and was very satisfied.
Grandpa Xia asked someone to help transport all their ingredients over there. The chef looked at the whole pig on the board and nodded repeatedly.
He rarely meets someone so straightforward. Even though they are at home, he usually has to be frugal when giving money to others for self-study, otherwise they will say something.
But if you use it sparingly, the taste will definitely not be the best. I met a big customer today, he will definitely work hard to make the best taste.
After moving everything over, he and his apprentices started shaving the meat, while others started scrubbing the pots and cleaning up the mess.
Grandpa Xia was afraid that if they encountered any problems here and no one told them, he sent Uncle Xia to help them, so Uncle Xia followed them around and did odd jobs.
But if they needed something that was not prepared here, they would tell Uncle Xia and ask him to look for it in the village or go to his house to get it.
But actually they prepared it quite well, all the ingredients were ready, and the quantity was large, and the vegetables and other things were also prepared long ago.
We also hired a few aunties to help with washing vegetables, peeling garlic, washing dishes, etc. Otherwise, if there were only the chefs, they would not be able to handle it.
This is also an unwritten rule. People come here only to cook, and you have to find someone else to do the other things yourself.
In the village, people help each other in this kind of thing. If you hold a banquet, I will help you. Next time someone gets married or has a full moon banquet, they will also help them.
If only one person makes the effort, they won't come back after one or two times. If everyone goes like this, when you have a wedding, only the host family will be busy. How can they handle it?
So at times like this generally no one would do anything bad or stupid, as everyone knows this truth, so everyone would take the initiative to come and help.
Xia Jin also wanted to go over to help, but was persuaded by Grandpa Xia, who said that today's banquet was held for her, so she should just stay at home and go to the banquet later.
Another reason is that some relatives are coming to visit them today, so they have to leave a few people at home to entertain them. Since they are busy outside, they can only leave the reception to them.
Although the fact that Xia Jin was admitted to university had little to do with the people in the village, they were all very excited. Whenever Xia Jin went out these past two days, people would stop him and talk to him.
Although everyone had no bad intentions and just wanted to get to know this college student or learn from him, being constantly stopped by others to talk would also delay their own work.
Thinking that there would be a lot of people at the threshing ground today, Xia Jin decided not to go out and wait until dinner time.
When it's time to eat, they are so attracted by the dishes on the table that they have no time to care about me. Then I can have a good meal.
Although today is my graduation banquet, the teacher mainly wants to find an opportunity for everyone to get together and have fun, so I just need to go.
Besides, I would never let her toast like I did when she got married to her cousin. After all, she just turned 18 not long ago. How could she drink? Even if she could drink, her alcohol tolerance was not good.
So now she just needs to stay at home peacefully until noon, then go out for a meal and entertain relatives from other villages.
Grandpa Xia and Father Xia were all out busy, leaving only four of them at home, so Second Brother Xia suggested playing cards.
Anyway, no one else has arrived yet, and there's nothing fun for them to do here except watching TV. They might as well play cards together and have some fun.
Let's talk about it when the relatives come. After this proposal was made, it received strong support from Xia Jin, so the other two people were dragged along to be beaten together.
