Ye Zhiqiu completed the formalities quickly, then went to the kitchen to meet with Wang Lei and Huang Dahe, and discussed how many tables to set up for tonight.
Wang Lei was very happy and said, "This is great news for you. I'll have Dahe notify your Second Master and your Grand Master later this afternoon. You can just focus on preparing the ingredients!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "That's fine. Thank you for your hard work, Master and Senior Brother! But don't ask for leave. Just go find someone to get a pass!"
Huang Dahe said cheerfully, "That's impossible. Master and I have been busy with various banquets over the past two years. We are very familiar with the process of issuing permits. Just rest assured, Junior Brother."
It seemed that he was really experienced, so Ye Zhiqiu left with peace of mind.
After leaving the brewery, he first went to the police station to handle various matters, because his household registration information could only be transferred to the factory now. He thought that after Feng Xiaomei graduated next year and confirmed her job, he would apply for housing with her.
If she applied for housing alone, it would definitely not be as suitable as if two people applied together. At least if a single girl like Feng Xiaomei applied, she would probably only be able to get a one-bedroom apartment.
But after joining the company, the two of them can apply for marriage, and then apply for housing after marriage, which must be at least a two-bedroom apartment!
Given this situation, Chen Yimin asked Ye Zhiqiu to register his household registration with the factory's collective household registration, and the housing would be registered back to Ye Tianya's household registration in Sanlitun. This would definitely make applying for housing easier. Apart from the issues involved, at least outsiders wouldn't be able to find fault with it.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the time. It was only half past ten. He first rode his bike to Li Xingwu's house and informed his family that he hoped he would come over for dinner in the evening.
When his family heard that it was Li Xingwu's friend, who had been demobilized and promoted, they happily agreed to it.
After Ye Zhiqiu left, he wanted to go and inform Grandpa Guan. Unfortunately, he learned from his neighbor that Grandpa Guan and his family had moved, and their exact location was unknown.
So Ye Zhiqiu left a message for Feng Xiaomei, and then rushed back home with the prepared ingredients.
You wouldn't know until you counted the number of people, but once you did, you'd be shocked! There were actually around fifty people. After all, Ye Zhiqiu asked them to bring their families, and his original intention was to strengthen their relationship!
So he increased the ingredients, more than double the amount, and then he took the ingredients home with peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, when Ye Zhiqiu returned home, it was already half past twelve, and the yard was very lively!
After he pushed the bicycle back and parked it, he seemed to hear Feng Xiaomei's voice!
He was so happy that he didn't even bother to take off his things and put them in the kitchen, and walked quickly to the living room!
As soon as the door opened, five or six pairs of eyes in the living room looked over, and Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly greeted everyone!
It turned out that not only Feng Xiaomei came, but also Mu Xiuying and Sun Yulan, Chen Yuqing and Ma Banghua's mother Chen Xiaojuan, and his sister-in-law Zhuang Xiaoli.
After a few pleasantries, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes were fixed on Feng Xiaomei, and so was she. Men and women in love always want to hold each other in their arms.
Chen Xiaojuan smiled and said, "Xiaoye, our whole family is here today. Isn't it a bit too crowded? Xiaojun'er and his family are coming too, but they'll bring our two children with them later."
Wang Xiaolan said happily: "Not many, not many. We are all here for our boss. The more people, the better!"
Ye Zhiqiu also smiled and said, "How can there be more? The more the better! You guys sit down first. Mom will be responsible for preparing the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks.
My dad should be back soon. My master is coming over to help with the cooking today, so please help greet my master and the others. There are still some dishes that I can't get back right away, so I need to go out and get them.
"Okay, grandson, you go ahead and do your thing. We're here at home. If things don't work out, we still have Xiaomei. Grandpa isn't worried about this."
"Haha, that's right, Xiaoye, just go ahead and do your thing. There are so many people here, what are you worried about?"
Ye Zhiqiu grinned and nodded. Feng Xiaomei was not shy at this time, but reminded him to be careful of the slippery snowy road and not to ride too fast.
She looked like a young wife, which not only made Ye Zhiqiu want to hug her and kiss her, but also made everyone in the room smile like an aunt.
But we still have work to do. It seems that five tables are not enough today, and seven tables are very likely!
But it's not a big problem, because if we squeeze a little more in the living room, we can put six tables. If we put one or two more tables in the side rooms, there will definitely be no problem.
With so many people suddenly arriving, Ye Zhiqiu was worried that there wouldn't be enough food, so he needed to go out and bring back some more.
Pork was divided into fresh meat and bacon, chicken, duck, fish and eggs. As for vegetables, he didn't care and planned to get some cucumbers and tomatoes, as well as cabbage, radishes and potatoes.
But he went to get the lunch boxes first, and took away all five lunch boxes at home, preparing to bring back five boxes of braised offal, which would make five delicious dishes!
I was in a hurry and didn’t prepare the tofu! In this cold weather, without this hot and spicy dish like tofu, it always feels like something is missing.
Not long after Ye Zhiqiu left, He Yongjun and his companions arrived, and everyone started helping to prepare the ingredients.
At two o'clock, Wang Lei and others came over, and even Sun Lai Di came over early to see if she needed help with the work.
With so many new people in the Ye family, it’s really lively.
Wang Xiaolan and Liu Cuihua went out to find their neighbors to borrow various tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, and soon someone came in to help carry things.
Wang Fugui may have been lonely for a long time, but now that he has a family again, he is really happy to see this busy scene. He even takes out the tea that he doesn't drink much to entertain the guests who come to help!
Ye Zhiqiu strolled out, found a secluded corner, and entered the space.
I started preparing various things. I had to add more chicken and duck, but I couldn't add any more pork. I could only stir-fry the meat and vegetables together, because the fresh pork was too conspicuous!
But Ye Zhiqiu also had a solution, because he was dealing with the rabbit, and adding a spicy rabbit dish would not be conspicuous!
After packing the prepared ingredients, vegetables and side dishes, there were not as many as before.
However, a lot of food will be consumed tonight, so Ye Zhiqiu got half a bag of white flour so that Wang Xiaolan would not feel bad when seeing so much food being consumed.
He didn't go home directly, but was busy with various things in the space. After all, it was so cold outside, and he was not stupid, so why did he have to endure the cold outside?
"Xiaomei, there's no need for you to do this. Just sit aside obediently!"
"Auntie Wang, it's okay. I have to learn how to kill fish!"
"What's there to learn? Zhiqiu is the cook, just let him do it!"
Ye Zhiqiu sneezed twice. He didn't know that Wang Xiaolan had completely sold him out. In order to play the role of a good mother-in-law, she didn't want to do any work for Feng Xiaomei!
But she didn't plan to do it herself, so she directed Ye Tianya to do it!
Wang Lei and Huang Dahe arrived first. They were very familiar with this kind of work, so they quickly rushed to do it. The atmosphere was really lively.
