Chapter 228 Gaining enough face in front of relatives and friends

The fifth month of the lunar calendar this year can be said to be the busiest month in Naye Village in recent years.

Influenced by the several thousand yuan income from lychees and watermelons of Deng Shirong's family, the villagers who had not yet opened orchards mobilized their entire families, carrying hoes, shovels, hooks and other tools, and went to their own hilltops to work in the sweat of their pants.

Those villagers who had already cultivated orchards also followed suit and built wooden houses in their orchards.

If before this, the villagers of Naye Village did not attach enough importance to the hilltop allocated to them by the production team, then after this, every household in the village regarded the hilltop as their most important property.

After all, the example of Deng Shirong's family is there. With an income of several thousand yuan a year, it is impossible to make so much money in the countryside unless you open a factory or do some other big business.

In late May, it is time to start harvesting the crops.

Therefore, the villagers of Naye Village were extremely busy throughout the month of May. However, it was different from the previous production team period when they would numbly complete tasks in a perfunctory manner. Now, although everyone was busy, there was a strong hope in their eyes while working. The spirit was completely different from the past.

When the villagers are busy, they will inevitably talk about Deng Shirong.

Everyone in the village knew that Deng Shirong had taken his children to the county town to open a restaurant.

Especially some time ago, Deng Shirong came back specially to pick up his children who were on vacation. At that time, the villagers all knew that his restaurant was about to open.

Now, more than ten days have passed, and the villagers are still curious about how the restaurant is doing after its opening.

The main reason was that there were really no entertainment activities in the countryside at that time, and there was not even TV to watch. The villagers could only focus on trivial matters all day long. Therefore, the topic of Deng Shirong opening a restaurant in the county town had been discussed by the villagers.

It was also in this hot May that Bobai welcomed its third census.

The results of the census showed that the total population of the county reached 975,820, including 517,081 males and 458,739 females.

It is now 1982, and the total population is about to break the one million mark. No wonder Bobai County has become one of the top three most populous counties in the country.

Moreover, there are nearly 60,000 more men than women. From this ratio, we can see how much men are valued over women here.

…

In a blink of an eye, it was already the fifteenth day of the sixth lunar month.

Tomorrow is the first time that Suifeng Hotel will host a banquet for guests. Today the hotel has become unprecedentedly busy. We have to entertain the diners who come to eat today, and also find time to prepare in advance the more time-consuming main dishes for tomorrow's banquet.

Chen Bangguo, the buyer of the restaurant, was very busy today. Whenever the chef told him what was missing, he would rush to the market to buy it immediately.

Bu Dashi, the kitchen helper, was also under a lot of pressure. He was so busy that his clothes were never dry.

Although Deng Shirong is an excellent cook, he chose to stand by and watch without offering to help, because he wanted to see the hotel's true reception capabilities.

If a master chef plus a kitchen assistant, plus Deng Yunzhen, a mobile staff member who can also help, is not enough to host the banquet, then he will have to consider hiring another master chef or one or two kitchen assistants.

In that case, the cost of the restaurant would naturally increase a lot, so Deng Shirong had to observe first to see if the master chef Zhang Guofu could handle such a scene.

The high-end set meal ordered by Deng Shirong at 38 yuan per table includes a total of 18 dishes and three soups, namely, boiled chicken, boiled duck, boiled goose, meatballs, egg rolls, braised pork with brown sauce, stir-fried pork, stir-fried pork liver, sweet lotus root, glutinous rice, pork with celery and garlic, shredded pork with green pepper, stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, fried egg with chopped green onion, bamboo shoot threads, wedge potato threads, peanut candy, green vegetables, as well as lotus root stewed with pork bones, winter melon and pork ribs soup, and soybean pig's trotter soup.

Among so many dishes, meat balls, egg rolls, braised pork, sweet lotus root, and peanut candy all have to be prepared today. The more time-consuming stew has to be cooked early tomorrow morning. The rest of the dishes also have to be prepared in advance, otherwise if they are all left for tomorrow, we will definitely be too busy to handle it.

Since Deng Shirong did not intervene, Deng Yuntai became the person in charge of the overall situation.

Of course, even the small boss Deng Yuntai has to listen to the command of the master chef Zhang Guofu.

Because when it comes to hosting a banquet, the chef is the core.

Normally the restaurant closes around seven in the evening, but today it was busy until nine in the evening.

…

The next day.

Suifeng Hotel opened before dawn.

Except for the two waiters Zhang Wenjuan and Zhang Wenying who could come later, all other employees of the restaurant came to work early.

Of course, Zhang Guangzong, the "security manager" who has nothing to do every day, is not included.

I started working before dawn and continued until about nine in the morning, when I finally finished preparing all the work that needed to be prepared.

…

Chengdong Village.

Wang family.

In the presence of relatives and friends, Wang Yong held his eldest grandson in his arms to worship his ancestors. After saying some auspicious words and setting off firecrackers, all the rituals were basically completed.

Wang Yong handed his grandson to the old woman to hold, and then said to all the relatives and friends in high spirits: "Dear relatives and friends, it's almost time now, let's go to Suifeng Hotel for dinner!"

Wang's relatives and friends were all very interested when they heard this. They originally thought that they were just going to come here for an ordinary full moon banquet, but who would have thought that there would be such a big surprise waiting for them. They actually had to eat at the largest restaurant in the county. This was really beyond everyone's expectations.

After knowing the news, they have been looking forward to it.

After all, in this day and age, not many people can afford to eat in a restaurant, let alone the largest restaurant in the county.

Wang Yong's daughter-in-law, in particular, was smiling from ear to ear. When she got married last year, her father-in-law had invested all his money in opening a factory, so she had a very shabby wedding.

But only a little over a year had passed, and her father-in-law had actually held a lavish banquet for her son's full-month banquet at the largest restaurant in the county. This earned her a lot of face in front of her family, and her parents and relatives on her side looked at her differently.

So, under the leadership of Wang Yong, more than 150 people set out from Chengdong Village and headed for Suifeng Hotel on Xicheng Road.

Ten minutes later, the Suifeng Hotel, covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters, appeared in front of everyone.

Before the Suifeng Hotel was built, the largest hotel in the county was undoubtedly the state-owned hotel, which covered an area of ​​just over 200 square meters. In the eyes of everyone, this was already a very grand hotel.

But compared with the Suifeng Hotel which covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters, the area is more than five times larger. The two are simply not in the same league.
