After chatting and laughing with a few people and smoking a cigarette, Wang Lei and Li Bicheng led Huang Dahe over.
Because many of the things, such as pots and pans, were brought by themselves, the three people's bicycles also carried a lot of things.
Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly greeted the others and had originally planned to go register, but Huang Shiquan simply waved his hand and said, "Alright, go in and get busy! Besides, we already know you, Xiaoye, and they've already registered. There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Ye Zhiqiu said with a grin, "Hehe, fine then, let's get started! Speaking of killing chickens and fish, it's going to take a long time to prepare food for at least a hundred people."
"Go ahead, let's have a drink together when you have time. I've been thinking about the drunk goose you made that time..."
Ye Zhiqiu led a few people and started walking inside. Before they reached the building where He Yongjun and his family lived, his elder brother He Guanjun came out.
Ye Zhiqiu quickly greeted them, "Brother He, how did you come out? Let me introduce you. This is my senior master, Wang Lei. This is my junior master, Li Bicheng. This is my senior brother, Huang Dahe. Master and senior brother, this is He Guanjun, the elder brother of He Yongjun, one of the grooms today."
He Guanjun smiled and walked over to shake hands with the three of them. He then took Ye Zhiqiu's bicycle and pushed it inside while explaining to Ye Zhiqiu, "Haha, Yongjun is getting anxious. He said he hasn't seen you yet, so he insisted I go out for a run!"
Ye Zhiqiu replied cheerfully, "Don't worry, we'll get it done. The main reason is that we're not roasting a chicken today. A proper roast chicken takes quite a bit of time. From slaughter to completion, it takes at least three and a half hours, so we have plenty of time!"
"Hey, I'm not worried about anything. It's just that your brother Yongjun might be anxious to be the groom, haha..."
He is indeed a brother, he is so merciless when teasing his younger brother!
Not only did they bring a lot of tools, but they also brought a lot of side dishes and vegetables. After parking their bicycles, the four of them started to carry things upstairs.
The entire second floor is occupied by six households, and today they all borrowed the living room. A living room for just two people is definitely not enough.
Cooking definitely cannot be done in both houses, so the kitchen that is borrowed is from the house closest to the stairs.
After putting down the things, Ye Zhiqiu led his two masters and senior brothers to greet everyone, and then went downstairs again to help get the things.
Although He Yongjun and Ma Banghua also wanted to help, they were both wearing clean green military uniforms today, and everyone was worried that they would get something dirty, so they didn't let them go to work.
So the two of them could only go over and give cigarettes to a few people, so Ye Zhiqiu happily accepted the two packs of Red Peony.
The aunts and sisters-in-law who were helping out had already started boiling water, and Wang Lei and the others started working on the stove. Ye Zhiqiu was in charge of washing the vegetables, and he wasn't asked to do any work with the chickens, ducks, or fish!
This was because both masters knew that Feng Xiaomei would be here soon! They thought that killing things would contaminate the body with odor, and girls have strong noses, so they didn't allow Ye Zhiqiu to do these things.
In fact, since they learned that this young apprentice wanted to get along with the girl who would come over, the two masters and the senior brother were not prepared to let him work!
According to them, if you want to pat the mother-in-law, just pat her well. There are several of them to do the work, so you don’t need him to help!
So Aunt Wei, who was washing vegetables nearby, joked, "Xiao Ye, how did you know? Normally at Old He's house, you're the one swinging the big spoon. How come when you come to our Wei family, you're just washing vegetables?"
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know Aunt Wei's last name, because unless they were particularly close, they would always use their husband's last name to address them. This family's last name was Wei, and He Yongjun also called them Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei, so Ye Zhiqiu naturally followed suit.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Auntie Wei, please don't laugh at me. With my two masters and my senior brother here, it's not my turn to wield the big spoon!"
Just at this moment, He Guanjun's wife, Wang Wenjing, came over with two basins in her hands. She laughed and said, "Auntie, don't listen to his boasting. His partner is here today, and his master won't let him work!
Master Ren Wang just said that we should take care of our little disciple's marriage, and today's dishes will definitely be beautifully prepared!"
It would have been better if they hadn't said anything, but the aunties and sisters-in-law who were washing vegetables and plucking chicken and duck feathers all gathered together with gossipy looks on their faces and started discussing this matter!
They didn't care about Ye Zhiqiu, the person involved, and started discussing it right in front of him. It would have been fine if they just talked about the two people's looks, but why did they end up talking about Feng Xiaomei's figure?
Is Feng Xiaomei fertile or not? Is that something you can discuss? Is it fertile or not? That’s something that only I, Ye Zhiqiu, can explore…
Ye Zhiqiu always thought that he was very thick-skinned, but at this moment, in this scene, compared with these aunts and sisters-in-law, he felt that it was still not thick enough!
He said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "No, Auntie, aunt, sisters-in-law, can you please respect me a little? Why are you discussing my partner in front of me? Besides, what are you talking about? Don't forget that there is a man here, and cut out the dirty jokes!"
"Shh! You don't even have a partner and you're still a virgin. You can't be considered a man!"
"Hahaha, right, you're still a virgin..."
Listening to the group of women laughing, Ye Zhiqiu really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into!
What the hell is this virgin guy? Even if you say he is a virgin, he is not so embarrassed!
Facts have proved that no matter what era it is, when women get together to chat, few of them are serious!
Even in this day and age, these women dare to make dirty jokes when they get together! But if a man dares to whistle at a girl on the street, he may be accused of being a hooligan!
However, only those who know each other well and are very familiar with each other dare to do this. If you speak casually to someone you are not familiar with, you will really be accused!
Ye Zhiqiu looked desperate as he washed garlic sprouts and celery to be used for stir-frying chicken.
Since we couldn't make roast chicken, we decided to make a big plate of chicken. But with so many people, chicken alone wouldn't look good. So we had to add garlic sprouts, celery, and chili peppers to make it look good and substantial.
Now the main thing is to make the dish, so that when you take a spoonful, it looks like there are a lot of vegetables, but in fact it is a bunch of side dishes and some meat. This is the only way to control the amount of food. Otherwise, if you only cook meat, you will get two pieces of chicken when you take a spoonful, which is too ugly!
"Hey! Speak of the devil, and he's here! Xiaoye, look who's here!"
Ye Zhiqiu, who was washing vegetables with a depressed look, looked up at the door after hearing this and saw Feng Xiaomei in a blue and white floral dress!
That beautiful figure and the slightly shy and embarrassed expression made him stunned!
It was the old lady next to him who nudged him and jokingly warned him, "Xiaoye, stop looking at that! You're going to drool! You'll scare Xiaomei, and then what will we do?"
