"Brother Guoqing, what's the typical budget for banquets in Jinan these days?"
"That's hard to say. Ordinary people usually order three to five hundred or eight hundred yuan per table, while some more particular families order a thousand yuan per table."
However, this only covers food expenses, not cigarettes, alcohol, candy, or tea. You'll have to buy those yourself; this way you can save some money.
After a moment's thought, Chen Hong said, "Let's order 600 yuan per table, mid-range is fine. Wait a minute, I'll give you some more money, and you'll have to take care of the cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and other things too."
"If the restaurant provides it, we can just book the whole thing with them."
Chen Hong went back into the house and got another 7,000 yuan, rounding it up to 10,000 yuan for Wang Guoqing. She also gave him the Mercedes-Benz car keys, in case the restaurant didn't include cigarettes and alcohol, and she would have to trouble Guoqing to go to the supermarket to buy them.
“Brother, you should go with Brother Guoqing too. I’m afraid he won’t be able to handle everything by himself.”
Chen Hong didn't even have time to drink a cup of tea before hurrying to catch up. Wang Hongwei, who was nearby, heard this and also went along.
“I know Jinan well, so I’ll go with you. We can split up and buy cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and tea from the supermarket next door; the restaurants are too expensive.”
We'll call you once we've booked the banquet. Just bring your guests to the restaurant at the appointed time.

Because of the tight schedule, the Quancheng Hotel didn't have enough empty tables to accommodate the three of them. So they had to find the Qilu Hotel instead.
