Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 117 Birthday wishes (please subscribe!)
The carriage shuttled through the small alleys of the county town for a full 10 minutes before finally stopping in front of a cluster of adobe houses near the outskirts of the city.

"Brother, this is my second uncle's house. He should be at home at this point!"

With that said, Liu Saner opened the door!

However, Li Yi did not go in, but asked him to go in and invite people out.

There was no way, he had a lot of things on his carriage, and it wouldn't work if no one was watching.

Never say anything about public security or lack of security. No matter what age you are, never use money or material to test human nature and people's hearts.

Soon, Liu Saner came out with a middle-aged man in his forties.

After seeing Li Yi, the middle-aged man looked up and down and said, "Comrade, is your family going to have a happy event?"

"Well, it's me who has a wife!"

"Then why didn't your parents come? Can you take charge?"

These days, newly married people usually live with the adults in the family, so the adults in the family have the final say in all matters big and small.

Li Yi immediately said: "Don't worry, I have the final say in our family!"

"Okay, now that you are in charge, what do you want to do? Should you buy the materials yourself and have us make them, or should we work together with the materials?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "If you work together with the materials, how much will it cost per table?"

"Normally, a table of 12 dishes including four cold, seven hot and one soup, plus a plate of steamed buns and a plate of fried cakes, costs about 18 yuan!"

Li Yi frowned when he heard this quotation.

12 dishes cost 18 yuan, which is about 1 yuan and [-] cents per dish on average.

In this era when a pound of meat only costs 8 cents, it is indeed not cheap.

"Do you have recipes for these 12 dishes? What proportion of meat dishes are there?" Li Yi asked again.

"Except for two cold dishes and one stir-fried green vegetable, the rest are all meat dishes, including a braised pork, braised pork with pickled vegetables, and Sixi meatballs. In short, the noodles will definitely be passable!"

"Then if we are responsible for the ingredients and you cook them, how will you get paid?"

"It's one yuan per table, and the price is calculated as many tables as you can cook. In addition, I'll take care of two meals a day!"

A table of dishes costs one yuan, which is indeed not expensive.

However, compared to asking them to do it together with the work and materials, this can indeed save some money.

But relatively speaking, it is a lot of trouble!
After all, there will definitely be a lot of guests by then, and it will be troublesome to prepare more ingredients by yourself!

Perhaps seeing Li Yi's entanglement, Liu San'er on the side immediately said: "Second uncle, this is my friend, please give me a cheaper price!"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Since you are my eldest nephew's friend, you can do it cheaper. It depends on whether you plan to prepare the materials yourself or..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, Li Yi said directly: "It's better for you to do the work and materials together!"

"That's it. Then I'll give you one yuan cheaper per table. Do you think that's feasible?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "I don't need you to be cheap, but you have to check the food carefully. Firstly, it must be delicious, secondly, it must be in sufficient quantity, and thirdly, it must be generous enough!"

"Okay, as for what dishes will be served the day before and what dishes will be served on the main day, we can sum it up. Once the boss is satisfied, we will prepare the ingredients!"

"Okay, let's just settle this matter. I'll come back to you tomorrow to confirm the time and menu. What do you think?" Li Yi said.

"no problem!"

"By the way, we don't have that many pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches at home. San'er said you can rent them here, but I don't know how to rent them?"

"It's also rented by the table. It comes with tables, chairs, benches, and plates and dishes. The whole set is only 5 cents a day!"

Li Yi thought for a while, 5 cents can be used twice a day, which is not expensive!
"Okay, you can help me contact you, but I'll calculate the exact amount when I get back!" "Okay!"

Afterwards, the two chatted about some details of the happy event, and then Li Yi drove the carriage and left.

County Bureau. Criminal Police Team!
Wang Anguo looked at his watch anxiously. It was already past eleven o'clock and he hadn't seen Li Yi coming yet. He was a little worried that the boy had forgotten about it.

I wanted to go to the textile factory to look for it, but I didn’t think it would be a good idea.

At this moment, a carriage suddenly came into the yard, and the driver was Li Yi.

Wang Anguo immediately packed up his things and walked out.

Li Yi was looking for a place to tie the big black horse, but he saw Wang Anguo striding out from inside and stopped immediately.

"You're finally here, I thought you had forgotten about this!" Wang Anguo said with a smile.

"How could we forget such a big thing!"

"Hey, why are you alone? Why aren't your siblings here?"

Li Yi immediately said: "She has a thin face and we are not married yet, so she is embarrassed to come!"

"Haha, what's the point? Aren't we all advocating free love now?"

"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. When will we go there?" Li Yi asked.

"I'm going to call Li Gang. Let's leave now!"

"Row!"

Soon, Wang Anguo called Li Gang out, and then the three of them left the county bureau one after another.

Because the carriage was slow, Wang Anguo and Li Gang did not ride.

The two pushed the bicycles in front, and Li Yi followed behind with the carriage.

After a while, the three of them arrived at a large courtyard in the southeast corner of the county.

Although Li Yi didn't know what kind of unit this compound belonged to, judging from the architectural style, it was the original courtyard for family members of a unit.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Wang Anguo's father's identity should not be simple.

After entering the courtyard, the group of three people quickly arrived at the door of a private courtyard.

At this time, there were already many vehicles parked in front of the yard, including bicycles, motorcycles, and even two small jeeps.

Compared with these, Li Yi's big black carriage looked quite dazzling.

But Li Yi didn't care. He came to pay homage to others, not to compare with others.

Besides, he had never seen any car in his previous life, he had a private jet, a few motorcycles and a small Jeep didn’t matter!
After unloading the cart and tying the horse to a big poplar tree not far away, Li Yi took a bundle of grass from the cart and placed it in front of the big black horse.

After doing this, he followed Wang Anguo and Li Gang with Moutai in his arms and walked into the yard!

When he came to the yard, Li Yi was a little surprised. He saw that the huge yard was filled with tables, chairs and benches.

Although there is no detailed count, Li Yi can still tell with his sharp eyesight that there are at least 10 tables in this yard.

Just calculate it as a table of 10 people, which means there are no less than a hundred guests today!

Obviously most of these guests knew Wang Anguo and greeted him one after another after seeing him come in.

While Wang Anguo responded to these people, he led Li Yi towards the back room!

At this moment, an old man in the back room also saw them and stood up excitedly!
