While Lin Dejiang's house was bustling with activity, not only Lin Dong's parents and sister were heading back to their hometown, but also his college classmate Gao Wu, who was driving a car with two other classmates, was heading to Linjia Village.

"Lao Wu, you said that Lin Dong is cooking for a big banquet in his hometown?"

The speaker was a girl in Lin Dong's class, named Jian Yan. She had a good relationship with Lin Dong in college. When Gao Wu was thinking about coming to Lin Dong's hometown yesterday, he wanted to bring two more people.

As for the third one, Zhao Cheng, he was Gao Wu's childhood friend. When Gao Wu came to Lin Dong's hometown to catch fish and shrimp during the summer vacation, he also came to hang out.

Lin Dong also knew him.

"Yes, that's what he said on the phone yesterday. How do I know if he's talking nonsense?

Gao Wu was actually a little confused in his heart, because this was too outrageous!

Not everyone can be the chef in the countryside, and I've never heard of that guy cooking a big banquet before.

"No matter whether what he said was true or not, we will be there soon anyway. If the food he cooked is not delicious, it is okay to scold him."

Zhao Cheng also said with a smile.

The three of them reached a consensus and rushed to Lin Dong's hometown aggressively.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Many guests who lived farther away had actually arrived, and gathered in groups of three or five to brag and chat.

As for the guests from the village, most of them had to wait until the guests from other places had finished eating before they would be served in the second or third round.

""Uncle Da Kui, should we cook enough rice today?"

Lin Dong, who was wearing a chef's coat and a mask, asked Lin Da Kui uncertainly.

He had been busy all day and felt a little tired.

The chef's coat given by the system could automatically adjust the temperature, so he didn't feel the heat in the kitchen.

This job in the kitchen is really not something that everyone can do.

"Don't worry, Dongzi, the rice will definitely be enough. Let alone forty or fifty tables of guests, I have cooked for more than a hundred tables!"

Since Lin Dagui said so, Lin Dong certainly didn't think there was any problem.

When it comes to cooking, Lin Dagui is a professional.

"Dongzi, are the dishes almost ready? We should start the meal at three o'clock.

Lin Dejiang came over and asked while he was free.

"Don't worry, uncle, there are only two small stir-fried dishes that haven't been prepared yet, it won't take long."

Lin Dejiang's family prepared a total of eight large iron pots this time, which is more than enough for such a small table.

The food for the big banquet is definitely not cooked after the guests arrive.

Instead, like the stewed turtle and other dishes, after they are cooked, they are all placed in a large pot, and when the food is ready, they are all served on the plate.

Otherwise, how can they be busy with cooking at the last minute?

Even big hotels actually operate in this way.

""Then Dongzi, should there be enough food?"

Lin Dejiang asked anxiously.

"That should be enough......."

Whether it was the meal cooked this morning or the two meals yesterday, all the rice and dishes were eaten up.

Even though they had prepared extra portions for some dishes, they were still a little disappointed.

"Well, if it’s really not enough, I can only blame it on the delicious feast you prepared, Dongzi. This is all we can do now. If it’s really not enough, then Dongzi, I’ll have to rely on you to think of a solution then!"

"No problem."

The kitchen has prepared extra dishes just for this situation.

"Okay, I'm very busy today, Dongzi, I'll leave all the kitchen matters to you!"

Lin Dejiang started to greet the guests again.

At this time, Lin Dong started to fry the remaining two side dishes.

It took more than half an hour to finish it.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Lin family began to set off firecrackers.

Small firecrackers, sky-high thunder, suddenly roared, deafening.

Gray smoke floated in the sky.

Setting off firecrackers is not only meant to exorcise demons and evil spirits.

In modern times, in fact, the sound of firecrackers also means that the host's side has started the feast, indicating that guests from all places should gather as soon as possible to eat. The people who helped put the tables, chairs, benches and so on in place, and put a piece of plastic film for banquets on the table.

There are a total of twenty tables in the first round. After they finish eating, they have to clean the tables and seats, wait for other guests to come to the table, and then serve another round of dishes.

Coke, white wine, mango juice, beer and chili dishes are all placed on the table first.

Chopsticks are not placed in advance to avoid the situation where the guests are almost full before the dishes are served.

Chopsticks will not be distributed until all the dishes are served.

"The dishes we cooked today are all very generous in portion, so don't deliberately scoop less, and make sure the guests are satisfied."

Lin Dong led the uncles and aunts in the kitchen to plate the various dishes.

The kitchen helpers brought the dishes to the table with trays.

There was also an auntie who was responsible for serving rice standing nearby with a basin. If you want more rice, just ask her and it will be served.

Stir-fried pork with green peppers, beef brisket with carrots, stewed lamb horns, steamed pork with rice flour, and other dishes were served to the table one after another.

The guests in the seats smelled the food and their appetites were aroused. They could no longer control their own wild power.

"Even before tasting it, just by smelling the aroma, you can tell that the cooking skills of this barbecue chef are not bad."

"Damn, my stomach is already hungry and thirsty"

"Wen Ze, your grandpa has a pretty good nose, so I know that you can't lose out by eating this meal today. You have to pay for it later."
