The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

At the beginning of the wedding banquet, relatives and friends were seated one after another, and people from the same village who called for help began to shuttle between the dining table and the cooking stove.

According to the customs of Yangjia Village, when the food is served, cold dishes are usually served, that is, cold dishes, but it is a bit unreasonable for people to eat cold dishes in the cold winter months.

What's more, because there are too many tables, even if a large tent is set up and the cold wind is not blowing in the open air, the temperature is not so good.

So the eight cold dishes that were supposed to be served were directly cut into four, which means that it is enough to follow the local serving rules, and the others are still what some customers like to eat.

After all, they are here to congratulate you, if you have diarrhea from eating too much cold dishes, it would be a bit out of character.

"This dish is rare." After seeing the four cold dishes, they immediately served hot dishes, and the eyes of some old people who couldn't eat cold dishes lit up.

In particular, the dish served was not a local dish, but a plate of sautéed sea cucumbers with green onions, which was a dish that had almost never appeared in village wedding banquets.

After all, Anhui Province is an inland city. If you talk about freshwater fish and shrimp, it is not unusual, but this seafood is really rare.

Because the current transportation chain is not perfect, and it is especially important that there are no large supermarkets in the countryside, the cold chain cannot keep up, so seafood cannot be preserved for a long time.

Even though there is no need for freezers and cold storage in the twelfth lunar month of winter, there are no cement roads for every village, and the roads will freeze in rainy weather in the north, which makes transportation even more difficult.

Coupled with the reason of rural consumption capacity, things like seafood are indeed fresh in the countryside, and can only be seen in some large supermarkets in the city.

But this is not a problem for Yang Dongxu, just say hello to the Millennium Supermarket directly, and just bring it back from the cold storage of the Millennium Supermarket in the city when ordering in advance.

As for the price, to be honest, if these things are purchased in bulk, the price is not as high as imagined.

After all, as long as the sea cucumber used in the wedding banquet is guaranteed to be a healthy food, it does not need to be wild. It must be of a certain size, as long as it meets the basic requirement that it is a serious sea cucumber. The size does not matter.

In fact, many people think that seafood is expensive. The most important reason is the cost of transportation. Because it is a long-distance transportation, the price of seafood must be higher than that of freshwater fish and shrimp in the mainland.

The second is because the mainland has never seen seafood since I was a child. The only place where I can see seafood is on TV, and those wealthy households on TV who eat sea cucumbers will definitely pick up good ones. Otherwise, how can they show that they are rich?

In this way, many people who have never really understood seafood have the illusion that seafood is expensive. In fact, according to the income level of the people here in Yangjia Village, there is no financial pressure at all to eat sea cucumbers occasionally.

The current quality sea cucumbers are indeed tens of thousands per catty, but ordinary sea cucumbers costing tens of dollars per catty are not uncommon. Of course, the sea cucumbers used in the Yang family's banquet definitely don't need to be the cheapest to fool people, but they also don't need the most expensive ones to show off.

The cost price of this plate of sea cucumber is about 200, which is a very economical dish. You can eat it fresh, and you can also taste the taste of sea cucumber, and the price is not so ostentatious.

In fact, there are sea cucumbers in the dishes, which is still my aunt's request. If I follow the previously agreed low-key but not stingy wedding banquet standards. The dishes for this wedding banquet must be mainly local wedding banquet dishes. At most, the standard is to increase the standard and add more hard dishes, such as big elbow, big fish, pig's trotters and the like.

But although my aunt didn't say anything, she definitely wanted to show the difference in her family and add a little more color to her son.

So after she talked to Zhou Ya cryptically, Zhou Ya contacted Yang Dongxu. Although the family didn't say anything, and it was Dad Yang who spoke on many occasions, but in fact, the family knew in their hearts that it would be better to talk to Yang Dongxu about such things.

After listening to Zhou Ya's report, Yang Dongxu gave a suggestion to serve more seafood dishes.

In this way, the cost of the banquet will not increase much, and the dishes look fresh, not to mention face-saving.

Of course, the seafood was served with more high-grade hard dishes, and it was not bad after all. So in addition to seafood, the Yang family also prepared lamb chops for the mutton soup that is usually served at banquets.

It's not like a hotel with only eight lamb chops on a plate. It's impossible for a table in rural areas to accommodate only eight people. Some children can't hold ten people at a table with adults.

Therefore, the kind with 20 lamb chops directly on the big plate can not only guarantee one per person at a table, but also eat one more if they like to eat.

The dishes are constantly being served on the table like a horse watching flowers. When the person serving the food returns, there are still many empty plates on the plate.

There are too many dishes, and the table is so big that it can't fit all on the table, so many tables take advantage of the serving time to put some empty plates after eating, or put the empty plates on the table. , Let the person who served the food take it back.

There are two criteria for judging whether the banquet is well run in rural areas. One is how much food is eaten and how much is left, and the second is the time when the guests leave the table.

In fact, these two points can also be regarded as one point, because the banquet dishes have at least eight bases and twelve soups, which is the minimum preparation.

The slightly better noodles are served with 16 dishes as a base, and 8 cold dishes, 8 hot dishes plus soup make up to 20 dishes. It can't be short time to eat so many dishes from start to finish.

Coupled with the fact that there are people drinking and throwing punches, it is normal to eat for an hour.

If the food is not good and no one is eating, sitting at the table is meaningless, and the time to leave the table must be early, so the two can be viewed as one point.

Yang’s noodles are undoubtedly very good, and the seafood is not only fresh but also delicious, because seafood is made by a separate chef, and the master chefs invited from nearby villages only cook local dishes.

The Yang family banquet consists of twenty-two dishes plus eight soups, and each dish tastes good. Halfway through the banquet, Yang Dongjie and Dong Yao, who presided over the wedding ceremony today, started toasting under the leadership of their neighbor who lived next door to my uncle.

There were too many tables, and it was obviously too late to toast one by one, so the relatives and elders toasted in person one by one, and then Yang Dongjie went to drink a few with his classmates.

With the words of thanks from the hostess of the wedding, the guests at other tables toasted two glasses together. After toasting in the aunt's courtyard, the two hurried to the courtyard of Yang Dongxu's old house, where there were still more than fifty tables of guests to toast.
