Siheyuan: Baji heirs never forget

Chapter 11 Banquet
Zhao Xin decided to set up five tables. It happened that the three uncles' houses each had a table, so they all borrowed them. In addition, the tables at his own house and Shazhu's house made up enough for five tables.

The Eight Immortals table in Uncle Yi's house is used to invite his master and three uncles to sit down, and also to show our backstage to people inside and outside the courtyard.

As long as my master comes, I believe that based on the gossip level of everyone in the yard, it will not be long before the news reaches the subdistrict office and the steel rolling mill.

My own table accommodates my brothers and sisters, and also leaves a place for myself.

Xin Zhao had already planned this, and in just ten minutes, all five tables were placed in the courtyard of the central courtyard.

The Eight Immortals Table was placed against the wall in the east wing of my house, and the remaining tables were placed not far from the Eight Immortals Table.

Xin Zhao put drinks on the table and placed the wine glasses.

Xin Zhao looked at the sun and estimated the time. It should be 04:30 now.

After taking a look in He Yuzhu's room, he saw Qin Huairu drooling while looking at the dishes cooked by He Yuzhu.He Yuzhu was very generous. He found a bowl and gave Qin Huairu half a bowl.

This scene happened to be seen by Xin Zhao.

"Sister Qin is hungry, we have to take care of the food!" He Yuzhu was not embarrassed at all.

"Of course, Sister Qin, feel free to eat." Zhao Xin said generously: "How are the hard dishes?"

"The meat is almost done. Now there are only three fish steaming in the pot. They will be cooked in 10 minutes at most." When it comes to the food, He Yuzhu is very confident.

"That's good." Zhao was confident. There were three fish and five tables. Except for one complete fish on the Eight Immortals table, the rest were half fish.

When Zhao Xin walked out of He Yuzhu's room, he saw Jia Dongxu running over as if he was guarding against a thief.

Back in the middle courtyard, I watched my wife cooking for a while.With the help of Aunt Yi, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt, plates of ingredients have been cooked.

"Senior brother." Someone shouted outside the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Xin hurried out to greet him. His master had led three apprentices into the middle courtyard.

"Master, senior brother, two junior brothers, please come and take a seat." Zhao Xin greeted warmly.

However, my master did not sit down, but pointed to the east wing and said, "This is your room!"

"Yes." Xin Zhao nodded.

Wang Zhenyuan immediately walked into the east wing and looked around. Lou Xiao'e had been paying attention for a long time. When she saw Wang Zhenyuan coming in, she quickly shouted: "Master."

Wang Zhenyuan nodded, looked into the room again, then looked at Zhao Xin and said: "Yes, I never bother with your residence."

"That's because Master taught me well." Xin Zhao smiled.

Wang Zhenyuan left the east wing and walked straight towards the Eight Immortals Table. As he walked, he asked Zhao Xindao: "Where should I sit today?"

"The head of the Eight Immortals Table." Zhao Xin said.

"Oh." Wang Zhenyuan nodded, he already knew it.

Wang Zhenyuan sat down, and the three disciples were about to sit on the Eight Immortals table. Wang Zhenyuan's eyes widened: "Is this where you can sit? Go to the side."

"Senior brother, two junior brothers, sit here. When the time comes, we senior brothers will gather at the same table."

After arranging the brothers and sisters to sit down, Zhao Xin said something to his master and then went to invite people to dinner.

I went to the third uncle's house first. The third uncle had been looking through the crack in the door for a long time. If I didn't invite him first, I might have to make plans again.

When I arrived at the main courtyard, I invited Uncle Yi.Then he went to He Yuzhu's room to take a look, and saw Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu, and Jia Dongxu all carrying a bowl.

There were big chunks of meat in the bowl.

Xin Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, he must have had his blood sucked today.

Zhao Xin didn't say much, he just told He Yuzhu to prepare the dishes and they would be served after he called the people.After going out, he originally wanted to go to Jia Dongxu's house, but Zhao Xin didn't go in.After all, the couple had already started eating, but they didn't serve it.

When we got to the backyard, we invited the deaf old lady as usual, but the deaf old lady refused because she was too old.Xin Zhao didn't yell too much, so as not to take over his master's position.

"Old lady, Xiao'e and I will bring you a bowl later, so you don't have to cook today."

"Okay, okay." The deaf old lady agreed.

After leaving the deaf old lady's house, we went to the second uncle's house.

When he came back, Zhao Xin placed a bowl of chicken and a bowl of duck on the Eight Immortals table.Then he asked some aunts and Lou Xiao'e to serve food, and Zhao Xin went to the front yard again.Almost everyone in the yard called out, but Jia Dongxu's family didn't come to the door.Then Zhao Xin personally brought a bowl to the deaf old lady and added more chicken.

When I returned to the central courtyard and looked at the tables, they were almost full.However, there were still two plates of fish left. Zhao Xin hurried to the main courtyard again, but only saw one plate of fish.

The other plate was actually held directly by Mrs. Jia Zhang and was eating it together with Banggeng.

Before entering the house, Zhao Xin heard Mrs. Jia Zhang scolding He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, saying they didn't call her because they had something delicious to eat.

If she hadn't smelled it in her sleep, she would have died.

Xin Zhao didn't say much during the whole process. He knew that he was really convinced and his blood was really sucked.

Before going out, Zhao Xin looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Comrade He Yuzhu, I don't owe you any favors today. Now it's Jia Dongxu's family that owes you."

Holding a plate of fish, Zhao Xin didn't say much, divided the plate of fish into two halves, placed two tables, and apologized honestly.

He had told his wife earlier to fill the Eight Immortals Table and his fellow disciples first, so Jia Zhang only affected the people in the courtyard.

Xin Zhao did not sit down in a hurry, but went to take a look inside his house.

Lou Xiaoe and several aunts are putting things sent by the villagers into the house.

"Aunt Yi, Second Aunt, and Third Mama, go to the table and eat some, the rest will be bad." Xin Zhao said.

"Okay." The three aunts did not refuse. After putting down their scarves, they picked up the bowls and walked out.

"Xiao'e, let's go eat some together," Zhao Xin said.

"Yeah." Lou Xiao'e nodded.

In the early days, there was a saying that women were not allowed to serve at the table. This is the rule in many places now, but not in the capital.Free love is emphasized here, and women are everywhere at the table.

Of course, for a banquet like this, there will usually be only one person from the family, and men will have priority over women.

He took Lou Xiaoe out and toasted to his master and the three uncles in the yard first, and then to the neighbors.

Finally, we sat down at the table where our senior brothers were sitting. We ate very slowly at this table, and we could still see the complete shapes of the chicken, duck, and fish.

Zhao Xin knew that these brothers were waiting for him and Lou Xiaoe.

After sitting down, everyone started moving.

After the meal was finished, Zhao Xin saw the three uncles and his master changing cups. Lou Xiaoe stood up and said to Zhao Xin: "Brother Xin, you accompany the brothers to eat wine and chat, while the three aunts and I clean up. "

Xin Zhao looked at the situation on the table and ate everything.Thinking about it, it wasn't too difficult to clean up, so he nodded immediately. He and his three brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there would definitely be fewer opportunities to meet in the future. It would be good to talk about old times more.

After the three tables were cleared, Senior Brother Wang Heren said: "Two junior brothers, let us help you, Fifth Senior Brother, return the tables and sit down and chat."

"Okay." Zhu Cunwen and Huo Liang nodded and stood up immediately.

The three of them stood up, and the three uncles also stood up, but they were a little swaying, probably because they drank too much.

"You three gentlemen, do you want to help you go back?" Zhao Xin asked.

"No, no, no, we're all in the same courtyard, and we're not drunk either." The second uncle said.

"Okay." Xin Zhao nodded.

Then the three uncles pointed out the table, and Wang Heren exerted slight pressure on his legs.The table flew up immediately, and then he grabbed a corner of the table with one hand, and it was actually steady.

"This, is this Bajiquan?" The third uncle drank the least. At this moment, he was so shocked that he became more awake.Seeing that this table belonged to his family, he quickly said, "This table belongs to me. My house is right across the street."

Xin Zhao also moved the table, and his master moved it to the table where the three brothers were sitting. After all, the Eight Immortals table also belonged to someone else.

After returning all the tables and chairs, Zhao Xin sat with his brothers and master, and poured two more glasses of wine.

After finishing her work, Lou Xiao'e also came out. The three aunts left separately, but they all took something in their hands before taking them away, either eggs or meat.

Wang Zhenyuan was very obedient. After sitting for a while, he left with his three apprentices. After all, it was getting dark, so the rest of the time was still reserved for the young couple.
