I played the world alone

Chapter 195 A Bountiful Banquet!

Seeing the little girl strutting forward in front of those brats, like an old gentleman teaching those illiterate guys how to recognize this candy's name, like a big sister, Lu Chen couldn't help laughing.

After packing up his clothes, he got up and went to the ancestral hall.

When they arrived at the place, the patriarch and several elders of the village had been waiting for a long time. Seeing him coming, some of them wanted to stand up, but they held back and sat upright with a cane, as steady as Mount Tai.

In any case, their seniority is still very important.

Lu Chen didn't even put on a gesture, and bowed to a few of them, and then said, "Patriarch, I wonder if there is any chef in the village who is good at cooking and can cook such a large banquet?"

The patriarch had been holding back and didn't feel embarrassed to bring it up, but seeing him mention it now, he immediately said happily: "Yes, yes!"

"Although our village is poor, there are quite a few skilled people. Several of them have worked as help cooks in rich families. Even if their skills are not as good as those in the big restaurants in the city, they are still pretty good!"

"That's good, it saves me the trouble of finding a chef, and we don't feel at ease if we have a banquet for outsiders."

Lu Chen smiled: "Then ask the patriarch to call them over. It's about time, and it's time to start preparing for the banquet."

"Wait, where are those ingredients?" A silver-haired clan elder couldn't help asking.

No food, they drink northwest wind?
"It's ready. Logically speaking, it should be almost here by now." Lu Chen looked at the sky.

"Coming?"

Everyone in the room looked puzzled, not understanding what was going on.

Just as he was about to inquire carefully, he suddenly heard the sound of running in a hurry outside the ancestral hall, and then saw a few young people rushing in, shouting: "Patriarch! Patriarch!"

"What's it called! This is the ancestral hall, what should I do if I disturb my ancestors!"

The patriarch immediately scolded with dignity.

Those young people were taken aback, and hurriedly lowered their voices, and then cautiously said after getting permission: "Patriarch, someone outside brought several carts of food, and said it was ordered by Mr. Xu Xian and Mr. Xu."

"What! Why didn't you say such a big thing earlier!" The patriarch immediately stood up excitedly.

"It's...it's you..." The young man looked aggrieved.

"Looks like it's here."

Lu Chen interrupted: "Let's go, elders, please come with me to take a look. By the way, the chef can also wash his hands and get ready to start working."

At this moment, after receiving the news, most of the people in the village almost ran out and gathered around the entrance of the village, looking in disbelief at the ox carts and donkey carts that were packed full.

The board is already full of food.

There are rice, vegetables, and their most coveted meat!
All kinds of fresh meat seemed to have been slaughtered not long ago, and there were still some blood stains on it, which made them, who hadn't tasted meat for a long time, salivate and couldn't turn their eyes away.

It was a magnificent sight they had never seen before!
Some people think that the emperor probably eats nothing more than that.

Even when the patriarch came later and hurriedly scolded people to get out of the way, the people in front were a little reluctant, and looked back from time to time, for fear that if they missed a glance, the meat would run away.

After the patriarch squeezed into the crowd and saw the food, his reaction was not much stronger than others, and he was even more excited, looking back at Lu Chen dumbfounded.

"These... are all for the banquet?"

As Lu Chen nodded, he couldn't help swallowing.

He may have never eaten so much meat in his life!
Now he realizes again what a correct decision he made yesterday!

……

The banquet will begin soon.

First of all, in the ancestral hall, a table of the richest food is offered to the ancestors, and then a table for the oldest and most senior clan elders in the village.

Then came the ordinary villagers.

And the total number of tables has reached fifty or sixty tables!

After all the calculations, Lu Chen missed a little bit. There was enough food, but there were not enough tables. Some people had no place to sit.

Fortunately, under the call of the patriarch, each family brought their own tables, chairs and benches.

What's more, if you don't have any disgust at all, after all, it's good to have something for free. Some people even think that sitting and eating are not enough, so they just stand up and rush to eat.

A bowl of meat disappeared soon after it was served.

Fortunately, I promised to ensure that I can eat all I can eat. After eating one bowl, the second bowl was served soon.

Make sure to eat until you can't eat anymore.

Of course, Lu Chen also specially reminded the patriarch to pay attention to those who have been hungry for a long time, and don't let them eat too much, or the body may not be able to bear it.

It would be a lot of fun if the wedding was turned into a funeral.

At this moment, the patriarch was chewing meat, nodding repeatedly, not sure if he listened.

At the banquet, Lu Chen also saw Xu Yulan and her grandfather.

It's just that the little girl seemed a little cautious among the crowd of villagers who seemed to be having a carnival. She didn't even eat a few bites of meat, as if she had something on her mind.

Xu Guang didn't seem to be very interested either, he gulped down his wine, his face flushed.

Lu Chen watched for a while, and politely greeted the other folks to continue eating and drinking, then walked over: "What's the matter? Are these dishes not to your liking?"

"No no, these dishes are so delicious," Xu Guang shook his head hastily, "Even this wine is top-quality wine, and we vulgar people have never tasted this kind of wine before."

He was holding the bowl in his hand, as if he was holding a baby, and he could feel ecstatic after taking a sip.

"It's just that, thinking of us eating and drinking here, and Yulan's poor father having to suffer from illness at home, I feel unhappy."

Xu Yulan seemed to be a little moved by the scene, and wiped away her tears.

"I see."

Lu Chen thought about it for a while, and suddenly took the initiative to ask Ying: "Actually, I have studied medicine for several years. If you don't mind, you can let me take a look at it for uncle."

"you?"

Xu Guang looked up at him in astonishment.

"This...my son's illness has actually been visited by many doctors, and among them are several well-known doctors who gritted their teeth and paid a lot of money, but they are all helpless..."

"It's okay. Don't worry, I won't prescribe any medicine or give injections casually. If it really doesn't work, I can spend money to hire a more famous doctor. I think there will always be a chance."

Lu Chen said a word of relief, and the other party felt that it seemed reasonable, so he nodded and agreed.

Xu Yulan next to her also heard the voice, and immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, yelling that she wanted to go back together.

Xu Guang reprimanded her twice, but the little girl still refused to listen. He also softened his heart. He nodded after asking Lu Chen if it was all right, and took her away from the banquet and walked towards their home.

Their house is barely better than the one Lu Chen lives in now, but it still looks very dilapidated, making one wonder if it will collapse after a little bit of wind and rain

The wooden house is divided into three rooms on the left, middle and right.

After entering the house, the room where the patient lives at the moment is on the right hand side.As soon as I arrived at the door, I could hear a burst of coughing, weak but non-stop coughing, it was as terrifying as if I was about to cough out my lungs.
