You're urging me to get married just for the sake of a feast?

Now that everything on the truck had been unloaded, Chen Yuan began to order people to prepare things for the banquet.

"Zhang Long, don't you need to set up the wedding scene?"

"Wedding scene? Oh, that's not necessary. We are all from the same community, we are all acquaintances, we know each other well, we can just invite neighbors and relatives to come over for a meal."

What a well-known...

Hearing Zhang Long's words, Chen Yuan was speechless.

In fact, childhood sweethearts are really good.

Unlike many successful matchmakers nowadays, they ask for gifts, hardware and so on, and they also have to hold a grand wedding in a restaurant.

Look how simple this is.

It is estimated that even the wedding car was saved on the wedding day.

From this building, then walking to that building, it is considered to be picking up the bride, very simple.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to set up the kitchen first. Oh, by the way, where are the vegetables you bought?"

"The vegetables are all upstairs, I'll ask someone to bring them down right away. This yard is also quite wide, you can put them anywhere, but don't put them at the staircases, just block people from seeing them."

This Post and Telecommunications Community is an old community, and there are no elevators.

People coming and going have to go through the staircases.

If you set up a banquet and occupy the staircases, people will curse you.

"No problem, I know this, then we'll build a temporary kitchen over there, that location is pretty good, between two buildings, there's nothing to hide."

As he said, Chen Yuan pointed to the location in front.

"Oh, Master Chen, you're pretty good, you picked that location at first sight, that location is just right, someone cooked a banquet in this yard before, and the kitchen was also set up over there."

"That's right, I liked that location at first sight."

Chen Yuan smiled.

That side is against the wall and has a wider space, so it is of course the first choice for the kitchen.

If he can't judge it like this, how can he cook a feast?

Chen Yuan didn't say anything else and asked people to set up the kitchen first.

"Hey, Zhang Long, you really want to set up a feast in the yard. I thought your father was joking before."

"Oh, Uncle Tan, what are you joking about? People in our Zhang family don't know how to tell crosstalk. Serious and honest people don't want to set up a feast in this yard. Put out all these tools for cooking."

Zhang Long turned his head and found that it was Uncle Wu who came back from walking his bird. He hurriedly greeted him.

"Tsk tsk, that's great. No one in our post and telecommunications community has set up a banquet in this yard for several years. It's just right to liven it up."

Uncle Wu also grinned when he heard that the Zhang family really wanted to set up a banquet in the yard.

If the Zhang family had a banquet in a restaurant, he would really be too lazy to go.

If we set up a feast in the yard now, won't we have to come down to eat it later?

When he thought that he could have a feast tomorrow, Grandpa Wu was also very happy. He went upstairs happily with the two thrush birds in the cage.

When he saw a group of people suddenly came to the yard to set up tables, chairs and benches, some people came over curiously like Grandpa Wu to ask about the situation.

When they heard that the Zhang family was going to have a big feast in the yard, they were also very happy.

The people in the Post and Telecommunications Community are relatively harmonious, and there is no intrigue.

Although it is an old community, the neighbors get along well.

Unlike many communities now, they have never even seen the neighbors across the street.

Even if they meet, they will not say hello to each other.

But their Post and Telecommunications Community is different. In the past, many of them were colleagues, often visited each other, and were familiar with each other.

… … … … “Zhang Long, do you need help with the feast?”

When the neighbors saw the Zhang family preparing to hold the feast, some wanted to come over to help.

"Yes, Aunt Liao, Zou Ting (Zhang Long's fiancée) and I are preparing for the wedding banquet tomorrow."

"Oh, this is a great thing. Zhang Long, Aunt Liao tells you that I watched you two grow up. I am very happy that you two can make it. Aunt Liao wishes you a long and happy life together."

"Thank you, Aunt Liao. Please come to the wedding banquet tomorrow."

Hearing Aunt Liao's blessing, Zhang Long's face was filled with a happy smile.

"Aunt Liao will definitely come to the banquet. Do you want to help now? Let me tell you, Zhang Long, your Aunt Liao can't do anything else, but she is also a good hand at cutting vegetables."

Aunt Liao is a warm person, very nice and enthusiastic.

Seeing that the temporary kitchen of Zhang's family was built, I thought about staying to help.

"Auntie Liao... this is not good."

"What's wrong with that? We have been neighbors for decades. I can still help with this little favor."

After hearing Auntie Liao say this, Zhang Long wanted to say something, butAunt Liao has put on an apron and is ready to work.

"Aunt Liao... where did she get the apron?"

Zhang Long was a little confused when he saw this scene.

Aunt Liao is really enthusiastic. She must have prepared it long ago.

Aunt Liao has a very cheerful personality and is easy-going. She put on an apron and came to the kitchen to help.

"Young man, don't be polite. Just tell me what you want me to do."

Hearing the voice, Chen Yuan suddenly raised his head.

He immediately saw the impetuous Aunt Liao.

Aunt Liao looked fashionable, with slightly curly hair and a little yellow on the tip of her hair. Her temperament also looked different.

"Young man, what are you looking at? If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Oh, what should I call you?"

Chen Yuan thought, where did this cute aunt come from...

"Just follow my Aunt Liao."

"Okay, Aunt Liao, then help me wash the vegetables."

"Okay, I will wash them for you cleanly."

As she said that, Aunt Liao hurriedly went to help wash the vegetables.

Looking at this free and easy aunt, Chen Yuan was also a little surprised.

Although this aunt is dressed very fashionably, she is really good at work and has a very good eye.

Chen Yuan likes such aunts (not the kind of like, but the meaning of admiration).

If there are more aunts like this, it will be more energetic to work.

In the yard of the Post and Telecommunications Community, Chen Yuan and his friends began to get busy.

Chicken, duck, pork...those vegetables that need to be processed in advance must be prepared in advance today.

As the temporary kitchen began to get busy, the aroma of the meat dishes came out all of a sudden.

The yard of the Post and Telecommunications Community was only this big, and the aroma filled the entire community.

"Hmm? It smells so good, who started cooking dinner so early?"

"This smell is wrong, I've never seen anyone cook so fragrant before."

As time went by, the aroma of the banquet dishes drifted around the community with the wind.

People in the community asked about the coriander, and suddenly they were a little anxious.

They all stuck their heads out of the window and sniffed the air.

Smelling the aroma in the air, they suddenly couldn't walk.

One by one, they were wondering who was cooking.

"Hey, who is cooking a banquet in the yard, no wonder it smells so good."

Someone followed the source of the fragrance and immediately found the source of the fragrance.

It turned out that someone downstairs was cooking banquet dishes. It seemed that the people in the community were preparing to have a banquet.

The Post and Telecommunications Community is not big, with only seven floors. The fragrance from the temporary kitchen downstairs can be smelled by almost every household.

It is not time to cook dinner yet, but the people in the community are very greedy by the fragrance.

"Is there a wedding in the yard?"

"I heard that the son of the Zhang family in Building 2 is getting married to the girl of the Zou family in Building 4."

"Oh, this is a big wedding, why, we have to go over and help."

"That's right, in the past, whoever had a big feast in the yard helped each other."

Seeing that the one preparing a big feast downstairs was the Zhang family, some people thought about going to help.

...

Chen Yuan and his friends were busy preparing dishes in the yard downstairs.

Suddenly, they found that there were more people watching.

He looked up suddenly and saw that the old men and women in the community were staring at the kitchen.

Chen Yuan was so scared that he quickly called Zhang Long on WeChat.

After a while, Zhang Long's father came down.

As soon as Zhang Long's father came downstairs, he immediately greeted the neighbors around him enthusiastically.

"Hello, everyone. I'm sorry that I've disturbed you by holding a banquet here these two days."

"It's okay, Zhang Yunxiang. Everyone has important matters on that day. If you have any trouble, just do it in the yard."

"Yes, yes, we are all in the same community yard. Why are you being polite? If you need any help, just let me know."

"I'll go and see if there's anything I can help with in the kitchen."

As he said that, someone actively ran to the temporary kitchen to help.

What could Zhang Yunxiang say? He could only keep saying warm and nice things.

Chen Yuan was a little confused. The people in this community were too enthusiastic. They were all rushing to do any work.

However, there was really not much work today.

There was really no need for so many people.

So many people rushed into the kitchen at once, and the originally narrow place became even more crowded.

Chen Yuan really had no choice but to pick a few people to help based on his eyesight. Otherwise, with so many people crowded together, not to mention helping, they couldn't even get through the road, so what kind of help would they get?

Don't make things worse, even ifAll right...

I picked a few people to stay and help, and drove the rest out of the kitchen. Too many people would only get in the way.

"Everyone, please understand. Thank you for your kindness. Today, we are just preparing the dishes. We really don't need so many people. Tomorrow... Tomorrow, we will officially have a big feast. I will definitely ask you to come and help, okay?"

"Okay..."

Everyone heard what Chen Yuan said, and those who were not selected walked out of the kitchen.

When those people left the kitchen, Chen Yuan felt relieved. They were all crowded together, which was really difficult to operate.

However, although those people left the temporary kitchen, they still stayed by the side, watching Chen Yuan cook with relish.

Chen Yuan had no way to deal with this, and he couldn't say anything at all.

You can't drive everyone away.

After all, it's occupying the yard of someone else's community, which is a public area.

Just watch it. Even if they watch it like this, there won't be a single piece of food missing from the big feast.

"My dear, is this the one the Zhang family invited back from the restaurant?"

"Look at the cooking skills, I guess it must be. If it's not the chef of the restaurant, how can the cooking skills be so good!"

"Did you all see it just now? Although this chef is young, his cooking skills are really not bad at all. I just saw him cutting vegetables, and his knife skills are really amazing."

Chen Yuan was sorting the fish just now. I saw his sharp knife gently scratching the fish body. In the blink of an eye, criss-crossing knife marks appeared on the fish body.

Those knife marks looked neat and uniform, and the knife skills were very neat, which made people feel very comfortable.

Chen Yuan's exquisite knife skills immediately stunned the onlookers.

You and I were all praising Chen Yuan's superb cooking skills.

Chen Yuan was a little embarrassed by their praise.

Before he became a chef, he didn't get so many praises.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan had something to do now, so he didn't think about these messy things.

When he heard that there was going to be a big feast in the community, the people in the community suddenly became lively.

Regardless of men, women, old and young, they all came to watch.

At this time, the onlookers were three layers inside and three layers outside, and they smelled the fragrance in the pot and almost drooled.

"Zhang Yunxiang, I tell you, your family will have a big feast tomorrow, and I must come to participate."

"Yes, I want to participate too. Zhang Long and Zou Ting grew up in my eyes. I even hugged them when I was a child."

Zhang Long: "..."

Faced with the enthusiastic neighbors in the community, the Zhang family naturally couldn't refute.

They have been neighbors for decades. Who doesn't pay for the feast when they have something to do at home?

The Zhang family made preparations in advance. The community has been old friends for so many years, and the relationship is relatively good and very close.

In terms of interpersonal relations, the Zhang family has also done a good job.

Whether it was someone else's birthday or someone else's wedding, even if the Zhang family didn't show up, they still gave the gift money.

So when the Zhang family held a banquet, half of the people in the community would come to eat.

In addition, the bride-to-be Zou Ting's family was also in the same community, and their Zou family also had personal connections with many people in the community.

Except for a few new families who didn't have personal connections with the two families, most of those who had lived in the area for decades had personal connections.

This time, the Zhang family was also well prepared, and the number of tables was calculated in advance.

He knew that there were many people eating in the community, so he would prepare a few more tables.

"Zhang Long..."

"Hey, Master Chen, do you have anything to do? If you have any, just tell me."

Zhang Long had just finished his own work and immediately ran to the kitchen to help.

When he came here just now, he saw many neighbors in the community coming to help, and he was a little confused for a while.

He had never seen such a scene before.

In fact, in Zhang Long's father's generation, this kind of mutual help was very common.

In that era, the overall economic environment was not very good, so even if they were city dwellers, they liked to invite chefs to cook for any weddings at home.

For example, in the Post and Telecommunications Community, if anyone had a banquet in the past, they would invite chefs to cook on the spot in the yard.

The scene was also very lively.

I can't remember how long it has been since no one held a big banquet in this yard of the Post and Telecommunications Community.
