Excellent little farmer

Chapter 182 Preparing for the banquet
After drinking morning tea, Ye Fan returned to the village,

Today is a good day, and Ye Fan doesn't want to go to the factory anymore. Anyway, Liu Kaifu and others are there, so he doesn't need to worry too much about what happens.

Just after parking the car, the phone rang, took it out and saw that it was Ouyang Qing who called, and said with a smile: "Brother Qing, good morning!"

"Xiao Fan, are you a brother?" Ouyang Qing said with a bit of resentment.

Ye Fan was startled, and suddenly smiled wryly, guessing that he might have gotten the news of his grandfather's birthday today, so he said, "What's wrong?"

"You boy, you don't even tell me such a big thing as grandpa's birthday. If sister Ziyi didn't ask me when I'm going, I wouldn't know about it at all." Ouyang Qing said angrily.

"I'm afraid that you will travel too far, and I don't want you to work hard?" Ye Fan smiled wryly.

"What's the hard work! All right, we'll go pick out some gifts later, and we'll be there in the afternoon." Ouyang Qing snorted.

"Okay, then you all pay attention to safety." Ye Fan said.

The phone here just put down, and it rang again immediately, but it was Lu Zhen calling, Ye Fan was a little strange, did he also know?

"Xiaofan, I won't go tonight, I have to avoid suspicion, but I will let Lao Chen go on my behalf, don't you mind!" Sure enough, Lu Zhen was still talking about this matter.

Ye Fan scratched his head and said, "Mayor, how do you know?"

Lu Zhen laughed, and said: "Don't ask, anyway, I know about this matter, well, I should be busy later, so I won't tell you."

Ye Fan was stunned for a while, then shook his head. After getting out of the car, he greeted those who came to help and moved the things out of the car.

Early in the morning, the kitchen workers and handymen arrived. The shed that was set up yesterday was not enough, and the canvas that Ye Fan brought back was specially made for the shed.

Since the Ye family's house is a bit dilapidated, it is impossible to set up a few tables inside, so most of the banquets have to be placed outside, but fortunately, there is an open space outside his house, and it is no problem to set up a dozen or twenty tables. .

Everyone was working in full swing. There are many people with great strength, and the movements are not slow. After a while, the greenhouse was set up, covering a large open space, and it is not afraid of rain even if it rains.

There is a habit in running wine in rural areas. Relatives of one’s own clan will take the initiative to help. Only cooks are invited, and handymen basically come on their own initiative. That is to say, chefs have to pay wages, and handymen generally don’t have to pay, but Give a red envelope.

Then, there is a pack of cigarettes per person. Normally, it is a pack of Double Happiness. Although Ye Fan is rich, he doesn't know how to show off his wealth, so the cigarettes are still given to Double Happiness, and they cost seven yuan a pack.

However, Ye Fan always carries a few packs of soft China on his body, and he will hand one to everyone when he sees it. This also makes everyone very happy, and he said that Boss Ye is generous.

After Ye Fan passed out a round of cigarettes, he greeted a few people and said, "Let's go fishing and come back."

The fish belonged to him, and Ye Fan didn't feel bad at all, even though each of these fish was worth more than 100 yuan.

Now the people in the village also know that his fish is extremely expensive, so they are usually too embarrassed to ask him to buy it. After all, for people like them whose income is not high, they really can’t afford it, but today, they can eat it well. I ate a lot.

The previous budget was that there would be fifty tables of people coming to drink wedding wine, and one table would be fifty. If converted into money, the fish alone would be worth six to seven thousand. This is a big deal. Thousands are basically the cost of the entire banquet, which shows Ye Fan's generosity.

When the fish came back, He Dong also came back with a large cart of meat. These meats had to be processed by Ye Fan himself. In fact, they were soaked in the spring water of the space, so the taste would be quite different.

In fact, the water in Ye Fan's own pool has also been mixed, so even if you don't soak it, the taste will be particularly good if you wash it with that water, let alone soak it.

Ye Fan had just finished getting the meat when he saw a few cars coming in at the entrance of the village. He suddenly smiled wryly. Do these people really want to make themselves famous?

The person who came was Boss Wei. He brought a dozen brothers, unloaded a lot of things from the car, walked over with a big smile, and said, "Xiaofan, you are so mean, you didn't tell me anything. One sound! Fortunately, my eyes and ears are better, and I found out that today is the birthday of the old man, otherwise I would have missed it!"

"Brother Wei, you are too polite! I just don't want to make too much noise, so as not to provoke criticism. This is great, everyone is here, and I can't keep a low profile!" Ye Fan smiled wryly.

"Why are you keeping a low profile? You are not an official, a thief, or a bandit. Why should you keep a low profile?" Boss Wei laughed.

"That's right, I just don't want to bother everyone. Well, since everyone is here, I'm not going to be polite, let's all come in!" Ye Fan dried his hands, took out a cigarette and distributed it.

"Xiaofan, my subordinates are good at work, if you need help, just ask." Boss Wei took the cigarette and said with a smile.

"There's nothing else that needs help. Let's rest for a while. I'll tell them later if I really have work to do."

"Okay, then you're welcome." Boss Wei laughed.

Busy until noon, the dishes were basically washed and cut, and the rest was the work of the chef. Most of the people were free and began to gather in twos and threes, smoking and chatting.

"Everyone sit down, ready to eat!" After a while, Ye Fan greeted.

This meal at noon is eaten by these hands-on people. The guests usually come in the evening, so the dishes are relatively simple, but Ye Fan doesn’t want to treat everyone badly. Almost every table has a lot of dishes. The banquet should be rich.

"Wow, so delicious!"

"Yeah, I've never eaten such a delicious feast!"

"It's strange. You say that Xiaofan's green vegetables are delicious. Everyone knows this. But why is the meat bought from outside so delicious? Could it be because of different ingredients?"

Hearing what everyone said, a smile appeared on Ye Fan's face, and he didn't explain, anyway, it's good that everyone thinks it's delicious.

"Xiaofan, sit down too, don't leave!" Boss Wei grabbed him and said.

"Okay, it's almost done, everyone sit down." Ye Fan looked at it, nodded and sat down.

At this table, besides Boss Wei, there were also Fang Zhikun, He Dong and others, all of whom were from outside, and those from the village were too embarrassed to sit over.

"Today's wine is also good. Although it doesn't have those effects, you will definitely applaud it." Ye Fan poured out the wine with a smile and said.

"Isn't your wine just ordinary rice wine?" Boss Wei said in surprise.

"Brother Wei, can I handle ordinary wine?" Ye Fan said proudly.
