Chapter 238 Buffet, Ceiling
"Xiaojie, is it necessary to have a three-day buffet?"
Wang Yuxiu was just a little confused. Buffet banquets are generally more popular in rural areas, but very rare in cities.
So Du Shaojie counted on his fingers for her. Xiaoya's teachers and classmates at school had to be invited, and the neighbors had to be invited. He couldn't handle all the colleagues and friends on his side in one day.
"Workers can arrange it on their days off, and those who have free time can arrange it on Saturday and Monday. Isn't it just three days?"
Du Shaojie successfully persuaded his mother and decided to have a three-day buffet.
It was midsummer, and there were many tables and chairs in the two courtyards. In addition, there were a few private rooms in the private kitchen, so the banquet was held at home.
Wang Yuxiu was worried that her son could not handle it alone, and Du Shaojie smiled and said nothing.
Xiaomei returned home the next day, and he had another helper.
A few days passed quickly.
Du Xiaoya's admission letter was sent to her home. She was admitted to Nanjing University, majoring in economics.
Du Shaojie immediately went his separate ways with Wang Xiuyu, Xiaomei and Xiaoya to send out invitations.
Almost everyone who received the invitations said they would not come. Everyone envied Wang Yuxiu's three children, all of whom were promising. Especially the two daughters, who were all admitted to key universities and would definitely have a bright future.
At the same time, those who saw the invitations had a little idea.
They estimated that Du Shaojie, as the eldest brother, would definitely cook for Du Xiaoya's graduation banquet, and they would have a good time.
Chef Du is now famous, and everyone knows that his cooking skills are unparalleled, but it is not easy to eat his dishes. This time, they finally got the chance.
Whoever doesn't go is a fool.
Saturday.
The first to enter the courtyard were Du Xiaoya's head teacher, subject teachers and several school leaders. Since it was a graduation banquet, teachers must be ranked first.
Several teachers had something to do and could not make it at noon. But it didn't matter. It was a buffet after all. Anyone could come at any time. The banquet would start as soon as there were enough tables, and there would be no ambiguity.
Du Xiaoya and Wang Yuxiu were busy greeting the guests.
Du Xiaomei, Qi Yan and several people who were transferred from the snack bar acted as waiters.
Du Shaojie led Dong Jun, Luo Gang, Yu Jianxin and others to work in the private kitchen. He was the chef, and the rest were helping him.
Every dish was made by him, never by others.
Two tables of school teachers came. After Du Shaojie finished cooking, he went over to toast a glass of wine.
"Principal Mao, teachers, thank you for your hard work. Xiaoya can be admitted to Nanjing University, thanks to the teachers' earnest teachings. No matter where you go, you will never forget the teachers' kindness."
Principal Mao responded politely, and he couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
He still remembered that it was he who nodded when Du Xiaomei and Du Xiaoya could go to No. 1 Middle School. Now it seems that the original decision was too correct. The two sisters were admitted to key universities, and his face was also glorious.
Since Du Shaojie was determined not to accept gifts, the teachers gave Du Xiaoya some small gifts, which contained strong expectations.
A large group of people came in the afternoon, all of them were Du Xiaoya's classmates.
Du Shaojie still prepared every dish very seriously, and the children were surprised and laughed continuously.
From then until Monday, Qi Yan's parents, Liang Meiqin's parents, Su Dapeng's parents all came, and the neighbors came one after another. It is not an exaggeration to say that the house was crowded with people.
Many people from the bureau also came, including Chen Jizhou, Zhai Yucheng, Wang Bin, etc.
Yao Liwen and Dong Yunxian from Guangyuan Hotel also came. It can be said that everyone who is familiar with Du Shaojie was not left out. As for the catering service company and the two affiliated branches, everyone took turns to come to the banquet.
On the last night.
Liu Ying, Jiang Cheng and Lu Yimin also came. Du Shaojie accompanied them to drink a few glasses, and the three-day buffet was finally over.
Because the lineup was so big, Du Xiaoya's entrance banquet caused a sensation in Chunfeng Lane. According to everyone's estimation, this is not only the ceiling of the Chunfengxiang graduation banquet, but also probably the ceiling of the entire city's graduation banquet.
According to statistics from Dong Jun and others, there were a total of 64 tables in three days, an average of more than 20 tables a day.
Since Du Shaojie did not accept any gifts from anyone, even if someone wanted to say something bad, they didn't know where to start.
Saying that others have money to burn? You can also burn it if you have money, and no one will stop you.
After taking a shower at night, Du Shaojie collapsed directly on the bed.
Three consecutive days of high-intensity work made him exhausted. But looking at the bright smiles on the faces of his mother and two sisters, he felt that it was worth it.
How much hardship the family has suffered to get to where they are today. Xiaomei and Xiaoya have both been admitted to prestigious universities, and this honor should be shared by more people.
Du Shaojie was very proud.
Then, he counted the gains of these three days.

[Exchange points: 20518 points\103666 points]
[Duration: 626700 hours\1976996 hours]
Du Shaojie then opened the lucky gift bag and won a dining car. The dining car looks like a tricycle, and the carriage is specially made by the engineer. When it is opened, it is an operating table.
There are kitchen utensils and gas tanks in the carriage, and several sets of folding small tables and chairs can be placed at the end of the carriage.
For the time being, he was too lazy to study this thing carefully, and soon fell asleep, sleeping until ten o'clock the next morning.
"Brother, I bought you breakfast, it's cold."
Xiaoya seemed particularly well-behaved today, and actually went out to buy breakfast for the first time.
Du Shaojie glanced at Xiaomei, only to see that the other party was just smiling and not talking.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
He immediately understood that the little sister must have something wrong.
Xiaoya smiled and said, "Brother, didn't you promise me to take me out for a trip after I got into college?"
Du Shaojie suddenly realized that it was this matter.
He had promised before that as long as Xiaoya was admitted to university, he would take her out to play.
"Where do you want to go?"
"I want to go to Rongcheng. I heard that it's fun there."
Du Xiaoya rolled her eyes and said the destination she had been thinking about.
Xiaomei couldn't help but chuckle: "Are you going to play? Are you going there for the delicious food?"
Du Shaojie also laughed. The little foodie is still a foodie when he grows up, but it doesn't matter. If
you want to go, just go. "Okay, let's go to Rongcheng. Xiaomei, you should go too. I'll talk to mom later. It's best if the whole family goes out and sends Xiaoya to school after playing enough."
"Great!"
Xiaomei was waiting for this sentence. After studying outside for a few years, she actually didn't go to many places.
At noon.
The three siblings told Wang Yuxiu about this matter, and the other party didn't object.
This is very good. Du Shaojie quickly booked the tickets. Two days later, the family took the train directly to Rongcheng.
This was the first time that Du Shaojie and his family went on a trip. He informed Qi Yan before leaving, and the other party seemed a little disappointed.
This summer vacation, there was obviously a gap between the two people. There were many reasons for this. Perhaps it would be good for both of them to calm down.
When they arrived in Chengdu, Xiaoya and Xiaomei started eating like crazy.
Du Shaojie walked through the streets and alleys every day, constantly discovering delicious food and learning a lot of useful things.
When it was night, he plunged into the simulation scene and began to replicate the food he was interested in. Once the replication was successful, he would feel a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Of course, in addition to eating, he would also go to see the scenic spots in Chengdu and its surrounding areas.
"No, if this goes on, I will definitely gain ten pounds. I will go on a diet starting tomorrow."
Du Xiaomei was a little conscious and knew how to control her figure, but Xiaoya didn't have this awareness at all.
Wang Yuxiu knew that this child had been afraid of hunger since childhood, so she became a little foodie, and she couldn't bear to say anything to her.
"Eat as much as you want. We're leaving soon anyway. Xiaomei, I have something to do tonight. You take Mom and Xiaoya out for dinner, and then go back to the hotel early to rest."
Since he was in Chengdu, Du Shaojie called Feng Qingsong before leaving.
Feng Qingsong was a little surprised, but still very happy. He took the initiative to invite Du Shaojie to his home for dinner in the evening.
Du Shaojie naturally would not refuse, so when the time came, he came to Feng Qingsong's home.
"Master Du, I heard that you are doing well now. You participated in the [Chef God Contest] in Hong Kong some time ago and won the championship, right?"
Feng Qingsong asked someone to cook a few home-cooked dishes, and then had a few drinks with Du Shaojie.
The two had a good relationship before, and there was no conflict of interest, so it was easier to get along with each other.
While chatting, Feng Qingsong suddenly mentioned the [Chef God Contest] in Hong Kong.
"The leader is well-informed. It is true. However, there are so many competitions in Hong Kong. One championship is nothing. I am only participating in the competition because someone asked me to do so."
Du Shaojie was a little surprised at first, but when he thought of the other party's current status, many things were naturally not worth making a fuss about.
Feng Qingsong nodded. He heard these things from Cai Jing.
"Haha, don't be modest. Many people in Hong Kong call you the "Master of Sichuan Cuisine". I don't understand professional things, but you are very smart to get a license in Xijiang. It seems that you have a thorough understanding of the policy."
Feng Qingsong did not mention the competition too much. He changed the subject and talked about some of Du Shaojie's actions some time ago.
He felt that the other party was right to do so and could avoid a lot of trouble.
"Thank you for the compliment, leader."
This sentence was difficult to respond to, so Du Shaojie could only laugh.
Feng Qingsong stopped talking. The two chatted about some family matters, and Du Shaojie got up to leave.
"Yangcheng is a good place. I'll come find you when I get a chance to go there."
Feng Qingsong said something that made no sense, but Du Shaojie didn't take it seriously and went back to the hotel.
