I was the richest man in ancient times

Chapter 510

Most people are in a hurry, they come here to eat, why is it closed?
This is not good, I have to ask my boss what is the happy event.

So, after inquiring about the shops on the left and right, I learned that the old man of the owner had his fiftieth birthday and lived not far away, in Xinghua Village outside the city.

It is said that the chef who runs the wine is the brother and sister of this private chef.

Ever since, someone moved their minds and went to have a taste.

It's her [-]th birthday, so this gift must be given!
Well, let's pack a hundred coins!
It’s even cheaper than a private chef!

Some took advantage of it, and some really wanted to celebrate the old man's birthday, and they all planned to have a meal during the banquet on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

Anyway, everyone is from Yunzhou!

Some people even want to eat the birthday noodles on the fourth night of the lunar new year.

……

In the early morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, many vehicles came to Xinghua Village, all of which were delivering ingredients to the Cheng family.

The villagers of Xinghua Village also went to Cheng's family to help one by one.

Set up the stove, wash pots and dishes, help arrange tables and chairs, choose vegetables...

At that time, the Cheng family became lively.

Cheng Wu took Cheng Jinxing, his brothers who were on rotation in the yamen, and the young men from the village into the mountains to get firewood.

The village was close to the back mountain, and the Cheng family had their own jobs, so they all waited until the day of work to get firewood.

As the manager of the entire banquet, Zhang Lizheng had already written in red paper what the helpers should do.

As the manager of the kitchen, Cheng Yue also arranged for the people assigned to the kitchen by Zhang Lizheng.

The Cheng family's kitchen is used for steaming rice, with a big steamer and three women.

The cooking and stewing are all under a big tree outside Cheng's house, on a freshly built stove.

Gu Xuelan was busy getting things for everyone, and she had to find out what was missing.

Jiang's is also busy.

Xue Hanyu took Ning Wazi outside to play. After she didn't go to Ruyizhuang, she would go for a walk in the village with Jiang after dinner, and she could be regarded as getting to know some people in the village.

Everyone in the village knew her and knew that she had a good relationship with the county magistrate, so no one would make things difficult for her.

As soon as lunch was over on the fourth day of the lunar new year, Cheng Jinyan sat at a table at the entrance of the main room.

There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table.

Sitting with him was Zhang Lizheng's eldest son and a village blacksmith surnamed Liu.

One of the three is responsible for keeping accounts, one is responsible for receiving gifts, and the other is responsible for returning gifts.

The return gift was finally determined to be ten cash, and it was wrapped in red, ten cash per household. It was wrapped by a family last night, and two hundred households were prepared. If it exceeds two hundred households, it will be wrapped again.

Lunch is simple, but there are several dishes on one table.

Basically every table is finished.

When Shen Shi came, those birthday noodles guests who were not familiar with Cheng's family or did not know them at all came.

"Dare to ask this uncle, which family do you always belong to? Relatives from my grandma's side?"

Cheng Jinxing looked at the unfamiliar person in front of him and asked suspiciously.

"Hey, boy, I'm a guest of your private kitchen. Didn't you hear from the shop next door that the old man's [-]th birthday? That's why I came here. My family lives in Mahua Lane, Dongcheng, Taoyuan County, thank you, third child!"

Xie Lao San laughed and threw the money in his hand to Blacksmith Liu.

Tiejiang Liu roughly counted, five hundred wen.

Cheng Jinxing wrote it down, and Zhang Lizheng's eldest son gave a red envelope as a gift in return.

Xie Lao San grinned at the result, then turned around to find a seat to sit.

"Hey! Xie Lao San, you brat is here too! Why don't you call me!"

"Dong Lao Wu, hurry up and sit down, I won't be able to catch up with the first round in a while!"
