Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 257
The cafeteria is not far from Hu Shunkai's house, about one mile or less. Now people go directly, which is actually time for the cafeteria to prepare.

The children can't wait for a long time. Some children have been looking forward to eating a big feast at Baba's a few days ago. You said that these children are greedy. It's not a big mistake, but the most important thing is that these children think that eating a big banquet is interesting. For eating, it's a lot of fun.

So when they heard that the meeting was about to start, they ran one by one with the spirit of running one by one, and many children even came back to cheer their adults up to speed up.

It was not far away, and after ten minutes, Gu Siwei and his group arrived at the gate of the cafeteria yard.

At this time, the gatekeeper had changed. Gu Siwei didn't know a middle-aged man in his forties, but he did know Gu Siwei, because didn't Gu Siwei and Wu Daorong recognize their cousins ​​here?

Everyone knew that this person surnamed Gu was Director Wu's cousin, so they all greeted him with smiles.

As soon as he saw the people from Gu Siwei's side arriving, this Ke came over with Xiao Pao and opened the door.

"Director Wu is busy inside, and the table is almost ready," said this one with a smile to Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei first thanked him: "Please, please open the door for us at this point."

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter." The gatekeeper also became polite.

Gu Siwei winked at Qiao Yitong, and then led everyone to walk in together. After everyone had left, Qiao Yitong took out a pack of cigarettes from the small army bag he was carrying, and put them away. into the hands of Menzi.

"This……".

As soon as he saw the smoke, Menzi knew it was good smoke.

For Menzi, Peony is naturally a good cigarette, and they all come with mouthpieces, which cost fifty cents a pack. Usually, he is not willing to smoke. He usually smokes the cheapest local black camellia, which costs a pack of ten cents.

Qiao Yitong said: "My master is getting married, it's auspicious!"

"Then I will thank you." Menzi happily accepted it upon hearing this.

Although he also knew that Gu Siwei was getting married today, he didn't mention the wedding banquet, so he naturally had to pretend to push it, and then Qiao Yitong gave him a word and he accepted it with peace of mind.

"Hurry up and go in, today's dishes are hard enough."

After Menzi put away the cigarette, he said something specially.

"Oh, what's the hard way?" Qiao Yitong said with a smile after hearing this.

Without waiting for the doorman to answer, Qiao Yitong said by himself: "It doesn't matter if you are not tough, my master's hunting skills are unknown, you go to the surrounding villages to find out, as long as you go into the mountains, you will not return empty-handed, get some meat or something It's too normal, not to mention that he is getting married today, if the guests who come to help can't eat enough, they will be laughed at."

"That's right, that's the reason!" Menzi replied with a smile.

After chatting for a few more words, Qiao Yitong walked into the cafeteria.

At this time, the cafeteria was nothing special. Although it was the place where the leaders ate, it was actually just a little smaller, and a small stove was used for cooking.

It's not like decades later, the small banquet halls of some companies are built on the same level as the imperial palace, and once you enter, they are magnificent with golden walls.

Now there is no such statement, and no one dares to do this. Of course, at this time, people may not even think about doing it.

So the small cafeteria is quite simple, with a few more white screens and four tables. It is obvious that these screens can divide the small cafeteria into several separate rooms.

The floor is also a common cement level, some places are knocked, and some places are cracked. The table is also an ordinary large round table, the kind that seats 12 people.

The table is bare, there is no tablecloth or any expensive tableware, just ordinary white porcelain tableware, and there is no such thing as a spit dish, not even a water glass, and there is a small white porcelain tableware in front of each position. A bowl with a pair of black chopsticks resting on it.

It's such a simple display.

However, the furnishings are simple, but the dishes on the table today are very eye-catching.

Because the dishes that have been served are not plates, nor are they bowls, but basins, not the big washbasins used at home. Those things can be loaded with dozens of catties, and there is no need to serve other dishes with two basins.The enamel basin used in the canteen at that time was used, which was about half the size of the washbasin, but five or six centimeters deeper than the washbasin.

There were already four hard dishes on the table, hard enough to touch a stone.

There is a pot of braised mutton with radish, a pot of braised fish, a pot of roasted goose with potatoes, and the most attractive pot is braised pork.

The bright braised pork showed a translucent deep amber color under the illumination of the light, not to mention eating it and just looking at it will make people drool.

"Hey, this braised pork is really beautiful! It's a bit like the restaurant in the north in the county."

A customer who knows the goods immediately praised it.

"What is it like? This braised pork is made by the Zhao family."

At this moment, Wu Daorong came in from the back, and there were two young people with him, who could be seen as helpers of the kitchen from the look of their attire. At this moment, they each held a box of wine in their hands.

"Really?"

"It's absolutely true. I'm working at the power plant now. If you want to eat, any relatives at home can eat it, but you have to hurry, because once the meat comes out, there will be no leftovers." Wu Daorong said with a smile.

When Gu Siwei got married, Zhao Fangming would definitely come to help, not only to help, but Zhao Fangming took a day off today and spent a whole day making these three pots of braised pork. At least half of the thank you for Siwei's introduction work was put on these meats.

"Sit down, let's all sit down! The cold dishes are ready, and they will be served right away. Let's start the table as soon as the cold dishes are served," Wu Daorong said.

"You sit down too".

Hu Shunkai was the toughest person today, he invited Wu Daorong to sit down and have a banquet with everyone.

Wu Daorong waved his hand: "You're welcome, Siwei is also my cousin here, I go up and sit, what's the matter, besides, there are some hot dishes that have just started to be fried."

"Isn't there someone else who cooks the dishes?"

It was Hu Yanqiu's uncle who was talking, and they were familiar with Wu Daorong's family, so they spoke casually.

Wu Daorong bowed his hands at this one: "There are not enough people, and there are still six hot dishes."

At this time, two young men came up with trays. Each tray was quite large, about [-] long and [-] wide. The dishes in the tray were not placed flat, but one on top of the other There are at least twelve or thirteen dishes.

"So many cold dishes?"

An old man who had just been arranged to sit down by the customer couldn't help saying this when he saw the two young men carrying so many cold dishes.

The young man who served the food smiled and said: "This is half, there are four more dishes in the back. Today, there are eight cold dishes, six hot dishes, four pot dishes, and finally a meatball soup!"

"Good guy!"

When everyone heard it, some people took a breath.

Hu Shunkai opened his mouth at this time and said: "The main things are hunted in the old forest by Siwei. Although it didn't cost much, it was indeed hard work."

"Just say a few words!"

Xu Congwen held Hu Shunkai's arm and motioned him to stand up and say a few words. Anyway, everyone's seats are almost arranged now, and the rest are young people of the same generation, and no one cares about how to sit.

Originally, Gu Siwei's parents should have spoken at this time. As today's father-in-law and mother-in-law, it is natural for a son to marry a daughter-in-law very happy.

But not now, so Hu Shunkai can only say a few words.

At this time, marrying a daughter is marrying a daughter, whether it is a happy event or a sad event for the parents, but isn't Gu Siwei's situation special here, there are no elders in the family, so Hu Shunkai can only speak.

At this time, Hu Shun was so open that he didn't want to refuse, and he knew that he didn't have to.

After standing up, Hu Shunkai began to talk, the words were all for the young couple to live a good life and love each other in the future, Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu nodded in agreement.

"Come on, let's eat and drink!"

Seeing that there was wine in everyone's wine cups, Hu Shunkai ended his speech with a cup of wine.

After drinking a glass of wine, the feast has officially begun.

Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu are sitting at the main table today. Yi Shui'er's elders, or Xu Wencong and Zhu Shiming, are talking and laughing, but they are not as lively as the table next to the women and children.

The grown-ups drank, and now many women also drank. Only the children drank soft drinks, freshly released orange soda.

This is not due to Gu Siwei, it was created by Hu Shun, and there are not many, just one bottle per head. As for what to drink after drinking the orange soda, homemade sour plum soup.

The food at the main table is more elegant and limited. Needless to say, the children at the table eat with a lot of shouting and shouting.

At this moment, the children didn't grab it anymore, because they thought everything on the table was delicious, and most of them were meat dishes. If you eat sliced ​​meat, you won't be able to eat pieces of meat.

After being spread out in this way, the children found that it was not like the previous feasts, where they had to grab as much as they could eat, so naturally they stopped grabbing.

The adults are not much better, because there are not many restaurants that say that they can eat meat freely, even if you are the factory director and secretary, your salary is not enough for everyone to eat meat.

Except for Hu Shun's family, since he had Gu Siwei's son-in-law, Hu Shun's family basically eats meat independently.

Why is it basic? Hu Shun has to give the meat to his relatives and friends if he can eat it, and there is no refrigerator at the moment. Except for the marinated meat, some of the fresh meat has to be divided out.

There is wine and meat, who doesn't make special creations at this time.

Not to mention others, even Qiao Qisheng's last drink was a bit high. It's not that Qiao Qisheng hasn't eaten, but the atmosphere is refreshing.

We really managed to eat and drink well, and in the end even the children’s table had something left over, which is almost impossible to see at the dinner table, because almost everything that can be eaten is eaten.

There is a little leftover dish, but it is impossible to throw it away at this time, and take it back to relatives and friends separately, so that you can save one or two meals tomorrow.

It seems that the women can only discuss the division of this job today, because almost all the gentlemen have drunk too much, including Qiao Qisheng, who fell asleep directly on the chair here, not one or two.

In short, it is really good to eat and drink.
