Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 208

Song Dashan and the others have set up the flowing water mat several times since they established their own business, but this is the first time for them to do so.

There is a large open space from the door of Song's house to the workshop, which can accommodate twenty tables at a time.

The so-called running water table means that twenty tables are set up at one time, and the tables are turned over continuously throughout the day.

People who went out to buy ingredients pulled two oxcarts full of meat alone, and rice and noodles were also loaded in oxcarts.

To set up the flowing water mat like this for a day, the Song family found a dozen people in the village to help, both men and women.

Beiguan Village is a village with many surnames. The Song surname is considered a common surname in the village because Song Dashan invited himself to become a member of the clan. When Song Dynasty had a banquet at their house, no one from the Song family was too embarrassed to go there.

Later, they thought that Song Chen would not hire anyone from the Song family, but they didn't expect that Song Chen had no such idea at all. As long as they could do things and met her requirements, she would use them no matter what their surnames were.

This time they set up a flowing water banquet, and the Song family members who were too embarrassed to go there in the past also went to eat the flowing water banquet made by Song Chen and his family.

In fact, they have no grudges against Song Dashan. Even Song Dashan left the Song clan before, and they felt that they would no longer have to interact with each other in the future. However, no one expected that Song Dashan and his family could be so prosperous now. The whole village We all have to rely on them for food.

Now that they thought about the Song family setting up a flowing banquet again, they really couldn't wait to start the banquet.

Twenty tables were set up at a time, and the tables and chairs were all brought by the villagers on their own initiative. When setting up the flowing mat for Song Chen's family this time, most of them didn't just sit back and wait to eat. Anyway, they would help anyone who could help.

The workers in the workshop did not give them a holiday this time, but they could choose their own time to eat.

Song Chen and the others were really generous this time. The older villagers vaguely remembered that someone had set up running water mats in the village many years ago. At that time, there seemed to be only four or five tables at a time.

There are too many people in the village, and there are very few people who can sit down at one time. If there are no seats, you have to stand behind others and wait. When others finish eating, sit down quickly, for fear that if you are slow, you will not be able to eat.

You must know that when eating flowing water mats in the village, the earlier you eat, the better. It is not enough to eat many dishes later, so you usually just get some random dishes to make up for it.

Look at the current situation of Song Chen's family. Twenty tables are set up at a time, which can seat at least 200 people. Basically, the whole village can eat with just two tables.

However, Song Chen and the others invited not only the folks from Beiguan Village to the flowing water banquet this time, they also invited all the folks from Wang Village. After all, Wang Shanwei is from Wang Village.

Even though he lives in Song Chen's family now, his surname will not change.

From now on, it will be Wangcun that Wang Yi returns to his hometown in fine clothes, but no one in the Song family cares about this. She is not doing this to gain favor from her uncle in the future, she is just happy.

The people in Wangcun were notified by Song Dashan the night before. When he went to Li Zheng's house in Wangcun to explain his intention, Li Zheng was so happy that he took Song Dashan from house to house.

Whenever he went to a house, he had to praise Wang Shengwei. Of course, he didn't forget to praise Song Dashan, his brother-in-law.

I have to say that this Li from Wangcun is a good person. Although Song Dashan didn't care about this, when he heard Li Zheng from Wangcun praising him in front of the whole village, the corners of his eyes and mouth still became higher and higher.

The people from Wangcun came a little later than the people from Beiguancun. When they arrived, people from Beiguancun had basically filled twenty tables.

When Lin Maofeng saw this situation, he quickly shouted everywhere.

"Folks from Beiguan Village, let's wait a moment. Let the people from Wang Village eat first, and let the people from Wang Village sit at the table first. We are all taking advantage of Wang Village. Everyone, get up."

Lin Maofeng shouted for a while, and the people in Beiguan Village felt that this was really the truth. At that moment, many villagers stood up and walked aside to chat.

Anyway, Song Chen and his family had prepared enough food, so they were not worried about not having anything to eat later.

And they also know that what Li Zheng said is absolutely correct. They are able to enjoy this flowing water table now entirely because of the people of Wangcun.

There is no one in their village who can be tested as the county's chief criminal. Although this person is sitting in Beiguan Village, he is from Wang Village.

Hey, do you think that if Wang Shengwei really becomes an official in the future, will he still remember his sister and brother-in-law doing this to him? "The people in Beiguan Village didn’t know that the people in Wang Village were invited by Song Chen and the others. They thought it was Wang Shengwei and the others who had done the talking themselves. Although they gave up their seats at this moment, they still couldn’t bear to gossip. receive.

When another villager heard this, he turned sideways and glanced at Wang Shengwei and Song Dashan who were helping to greet them.

"I see that Wang Shengwei is not the kind of ungrateful person. Look at how he kowtowed to his wife and parents when he got the good news that day. You can tell he is someone who knows how to repay his kindness."

"But it's also for the master and his parents. The master teaches him knowledge, and his parents give birth to children. This is what he should do. Haven't you seen him kowtow to his sister and brother-in-law?"

"Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? His sister is pregnant and he kowtows to his sister. Isn't this a blessing for the child in her belly?"

"I forgot about this. Hey~ look at what I said. It's really not right to think about these things while taking advantage of others..."

"No, don't say this in the future. But having said that, if Wang Shengwei is ungrateful in the future, no one in our village will be able to forgive him. No matter what official he is, if it weren't for his sister's family, would he be able to study?" I don’t know how long I can live.”

"Song Chen's medical skills are indeed superb." The villagers from Beiguan Village were chatting away, while the villagers from Wang Village over there had already sat down under the greeting of Beiguan Village standing at attention.

They were also shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. They only knew that the Song family in Beiguan Village was rich before, but they did not expect to be so rich.

There are twenty tables at a time. If you want to set up the running water banquet in one day, you have to prepare more than 100 tables. How much money does this cost?

When the food was served, the villagers in Wang Village were even more shocked.

On the table, there were baskets of big white steamed buns, and large bowls of meat that couldn't be filled. Braised, stir-fried, and broth were all dishes made with meat.

Facing such a banquet, the first thing the people in Wangcun did was not to grab it, but to be stunned.

Unlike the people in Beiguan Village, they have no workshops to work in. They are still living the same hard life as before. The whole village relies on farming to make a living.

Let’s not talk about the meat. I haven’t eaten this big white steamed bun for who knows how long.

"You all can open up and eat. The Song family must be able to take care of the banquet. There is no need to fight. You can eat slowly."

There were still one or two villagers from Beiguan Village who did not leave the table at some tables. The villagers from Wang Village were frightened by the way Song Chen and his family served food.

The villagers in Beiguan Village smiled, slowly took a big white steamed bun, took a bite, put a piece of meat into their mouths, and learned from the people in Wang Village about the banquet customs of Song Chen's family.

When the people in Wangcun saw them eating so slowly, they seemed to have seen some kind of miracle.

You must know that when they usually go to a banquet, they basically have to grab something as soon as it is served, otherwise it will be gone if it is delayed.

There is no need to grab it now?

This is a big bowl of meat!
"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold. They hire all good cooks. In fact, we people in Beiguan Village are following the people in Wang Village to benefit from it. This can be said, but I don’t think it’s right, if it weren’t for our Song family in Beiguan Village, this genius in your Wang Village might have disappeared long ago.”

The people in Wangcun knew that this was the truth, and no one refuted it.

After the initial shock, physiological reactions began to take effect. Seeing these things on the table in front of them, their calves began to scream wildly.

Looking at the Wangcun people at other nearby tables, most of them are starting to eat.

But looking at the way they were eating, they seemed to be a lot stimulated.

No one was trying to grab it, they were all silently eating the steamed buns in their hands, adding some vegetables from time to time.

From this point of view, it is fortunate that those people from Beiguan Village did not leave the table, otherwise the people from Wang Village would not dare to use their chopsticks.

People seem to be like this.

Within the range that you can accept, you are not afraid of anything, but once it exceeds your own knowledge, you start to be timid.

The current performance of Wangcun people is enough to illustrate this point.

If Song Chen's family was setting up the banquet this time using the same standard of flowing banquets as others, then they must have started grabbing it as soon as it was served. After all, the banquet was full of good things that they couldn't usually eat.

But what appeared at Song Chen's banquet was completely beyond their expectations, and they were a little hesitant to move.

This was the first batch of people at the flowing water banquet, and the people in Wangcun ate for a whole hour!
The other people in Beiguan Village who had given up their seats felt anxious when they saw them eating so slowly. They could see that they felt really uncomfortable not being able to eat.

As long as everything on the table is eaten cleanly, people in Wangcun feel that this may be the most comfortable meal they have ever had in their lives.

But after eating, I felt a little upset.

Look at the people in Beiguan Village. They give up their seats as soon as their boss asks them to give up their seats. Why is this?
Because they no longer need to rely on a banquet to fill their stomachs, unlike them.

Most of them get wages every month. I heard they have about ten taels of silver throughout the year, and they can save a little after expenses.

Thinking of this, they were really envious.

I don’t know if such a good thing will happen in their Wang Village.

With this thought in mind, many villagers gathered in front of Wang Kuitu and his wife, and kept saying congratulations.

Wang Kuitu was really happy.

Their son is promising and their daughter is happy. Isn't this the best they can hope for as parents?
