The next morning, Chiang Kaiwen did not go to the mountain to practice kung fu, but stayed at Lin Fengmao's house to help -- she had already said that she would hold a banquet at the Lin family's residence.

Early in the morning, someone from the village who had a good relationship with Lin Fengmao's family came to help. A group of people were engaged in an intense battle.

It was fortunate that Lin Fengmao's yard was big, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to set it up.

Lin Fengmao shuttled back and forth in high spirits as he assigned the tasks.

Guo Caiyun was extremely busy with the women, washing vegetables and picking vegetables.

Lin De was wearing a chef's hat and apron. He was holding a butcher knife. With a few cuts, each chicken was divided into more than ten pieces. With another sweep of the knife, he dropped all the chicken on the chopping board into the bucket below, then went to get the other one.

Beside him was the butcher, Lin Fengbo. He had two pigs waiting for him to break them down.

This was what Chiang Kaiwen told Lin Jianmu to bring from the village. Although the wild boar meat was delicious, it was only stewed. These two pigs can be eaten with open mouth, such as fried meatballs, boiled meatballs, peppers, house meat, braised pork, whatever you want.

On the other side was a basket of crabs, prawns, and krill, all of which were fresh and fresh. Lin Jianmu got up early to bring this back from the county's morning market, so it was guaranteed to be fresh.

Next was a special dish for cutting cold vegetables. There was roast chicken, smoked sausages, canned fruit, pork head, and all sorts of other dishes.

Several families had brought their children to help. These children had their eyes fixed on the cold vegetables. When the adults weren't paying attention, they would secretly touch a few pieces of meat and place them in their mouths.

Then came the reprimands of adults, the shrieks of children.

Chiang Kaiwen originally wanted to chop meat for Lin Fengbo, but she was rejected by him.

"No need. Someone will be here to help soon." "Today, you should just sit in the room and let us take care of everything."

Lin De also said, "This is our custom here, you can go in."

The old-fashioned Lin De had already said that Chiang Kaiwen was as good as gold.

Just as he was about to enter the house and see what was going on, he grabbed two candy bars and distributed them to the children.

When the kid who was originally hungry for meat saw the candy, he immediately forgot about the meat and rushed to Chiang Kaiwen's side to surround her. They all stretched out their necks and stared at the candies in Chiang Kaiwen's hands with wide eyes.

When Chiang Kaiwen saw the suspicious liquid flowing out of the children's mouths, she smiled and handed the candy to them.

The children originally wanted to rob him, but for some reason, when they saw the gentle look in the big brother's eyes, they did not dare to do so. They obediently let Chiang Kaiwen put the candies in their pockets, not daring to move even after they had divided the candies.

"Eat."

Chiang Kaiwen's words were like an order in the children's ears.

The children happily took out the candy, tore off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into their mouths.

The candies that Chiang Kaiwen bought were definitely not inferior candies with a few dollars a catty of saccharin pigment in the rural market. They were all candies that Lin Jianmu bought from a supermarket in the county to ensure both their taste and safety.

After handing out the candies, Chiang Kaiwen left the children to play by themselves. She then went to fill up another plate of candies and carried a large bag of melon seeds into the house.

When Lin Kai Wen went in, the room was filled with people, and they were chatting enthusiastically.

"Everyone move aside."

Chiang Kaiwen walked in and placed the melon seeds on the brick bed. She smiled and said, "Everyone, don't talk. Eat a piece of candy and eat some melon seeds."

Tu Hu, Lin Fengbo's wife's eyes immediately lit up. "Third Aunt, to have such an intelligent and capable nephew, you must be a lucky person."

Lin De still had two older brothers above him, and they were number three. Because of the old grudges, Lin De no longer had any contact with his two older brothers. However, his eldest brother had passed away a few years ago, while his second brother and his wife had gone to the city where their son worked to look after their children. They had not returned for two years.

Nie Caiju's eyes curved into a line when she heard Lin Fengbo's wife praise Chiang Kaiwen. She covered her mouth as she laughed and said, "This child, he has some good points."

Lin Jianmu's mother, Lin Fengwu's wife, after looking at Chiang Kaiwen carefully, she slapped her thigh, "I was just saying that Kaiwen seemed to have changed a little, so he has grown taller."

Saying that, Lin Fengwu's wife stood beside Chiang Kaiwen and gestured with her hand, "Originally, she was about the same as me, but now she's much taller than me."

Lin Lan, who was sitting on the brick bed feeding her child, said with a smile, "Wen is only 18 years old... "Aiyo, Mom, why did you hit me?"

Nie Caiju said with a fake smile, "I'm hitting flies."

After Lin Lan was glared at, she glanced at Chiang Kaiwen, who stood out among the women in the room like a crane amongst a flock of chickens. Only then did she realize that she seemed … He said the wrong thing again.

Chiang Kaiwen was almost as tall as Zhang Yongping now...

"Hehe, there really are flies. "Uhh, Fengwang, your daughter is 22, right? Did you find the right person?"

Lin Fengwang's wife was eating a melon seed, so when she mentioned it, she didn't even have the urge to crack it, "Ai, I was just worrying too. She's actually quite happy that she didn't get worried. " As she spoke, she glanced at Chiang Kaiwen and regretfully said, "If my family's little girl were two or three years younger, I would definitely make Kaiwen my son-in-law. "Haha."

Nie Caiju: "…"

Lin Lan: "…"

Chiang Kaiwen said regretfully, "It's a pity that I'm a woman."

Lin Fengwang's wife laughed and picked up another handful of melon seeds. As she ate, she laughed and said: "If you are a girl, all the old masters in the village must be a girl."

Lin Fengbo's wife said: "That's right, it's not like we didn't see that wild boar. Who in our village has the ability to kill such a wild boar? Although she looks a bit delicate, but now the little girl likes you. Don't you think so, girls? "

There were still half a room full of young ladies. When they heard Lin Fengbo's wife's words, their faces turned red. There were even two bold girls who sent messages to Chiang Kaiwen secretly.

Chiang Kaiwen: "... Cough cough, what's that? I'll go outside and see if there's anything I can help with. " It was like fleeing for his life.

Behind Chiang Kaiwen, the entire room burst into unbridled laughter.

Seeing Chiang Kaiwen come out, Lin Fengmao asked curiously, "What's going on in the house? It's so lively here?"

Chiang Kaiwen coughed and asked seriously, "Uncle, how are your preparations? Was there any oversight? "

Lin Fengmao heard Liliwen ask about business and became serious as well. "It's about time for the rest, but there aren't enough tables and stools. Mu's taken someone to borrow them."

Chiang Kaiwen originally wanted to hand over the matter of hosting the table to someone who specializes in hosting banquets. They were the same kind of staff, even the tables, chairs and chairs were brought along with them. However, after she heard about the habits of the village, Chiang Kaiwen stopped talking about it.

It was not that Chiang Kaiwen was afraid of wasting money — these things she had bought were enough for the villagers to eat in two villages. Rather, she felt that asking the villagers to come and help her could make them understand her generosity and become more popular in the village.

At eleven o'clock, dozens of tables were set up along the street. Under Lin Jianmu's lead, the several young waiters first put the candied fruits on the table.

"Aunts and uncles, let's all eat and drink first. The main course will be served soon."

At eleven-thirty, firecrackers roared in unison in front of Chiang Kaiwen's new courtyard, resounding through the Lin Family Village.

There were quite a few kids who wanted to rush in to pick up the firecrackers before they finished firing their firecrackers. Thanks to Chiang Kaiwen, he quickly regained his composure.

Chiang Kaiwen was also shocked. She shook her head and sighed to herself. As expected of the rascal!

The release of the firecrackers represented the start of the banquet.

Following the sound of firecrackers, the villagers began to serve the cold vegetables with iron trays.

On the other side, Lin De and a few other chefs began to fry the meat with ladles in their hands.

Ten cold dishes, roast chicken, smoked sausages, shredded banana, pork head, donkey meat, fried chicken and willow. After the six dishes were crab, prawn, krill, and ingot shrimp.

Six hot dishes, sweet and sour fish, gongbao chicken Ding, fish-flavored shredded meat, braised prawns, cashew fruit and shrimp, and woody pork.

Two fishes, one braised fish and one steamed.

Five bowls of meat dishes, a stewed chicken with mushrooms, steamed beef, pork buttered with plum, red-braised pork, and the most covetous wild boar meat.

Finally, there was a pot of stewed rice ball, which could be eaten with both soup and meatballs.

Of the twenty-four dishes, none of them were counted. They were all hard dishes.

Whether it's a child, a young person, a middle-aged person or an old person, you can find something to eat.

The tables were filled with food and there was very little conversation.

Chiang Kaiwen stood in the doorway and smiled at the scene before her.

The dinner began at 11: 00. The girl and the child ate until 12: 30. The men who drank wine ate until 2: 00 without stopping.

Such a good dish and wine, they were the perfect pair to sit together, no matter how comfortable or how much they wanted to drink.

In the end, it was Lin Tongshan who came forward and sent these guys away.

However, Lin Tongshan didn't show up for nothing. He left with a cigarette in his pocket -- ten dollars per box, the kind that cost ninety dollars each. Lin Fengmao couldn't bear to part with it.

After the meal, many people automatically stayed back to help clean up.

It was also easier to clean up. There were only plates on almost every table. Even if there were leftover dishes, they were all taken away by the women in the bags.

There was no need for the big basins that Guo Caiyun had prepared.

By the time the big guys were ready, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Chiang Kaiwen gave some melon seeds and candy to the villagers who were helping them. The villagers all returned home smiling. They had never thought of this in the first place. How could they not be happy when there was such a pleasant surprise?

When Chiang Kaiwen returned to her room, her Lin Family Member was resting inside, especially since Lin De was the chef today, he worked even harder.

However, although he worked hard, he was happy inside. The feeling of being needed was too great.

Lin Lan put the sleeping child on the brick bed and sighed. "If only elder sister was here too."

Lin De, who was originally happy, instantly became gloomy, while Nie Caiju also became depressed.

Guo Caiyun quickly said, "Oh, it's such a joyous day. Don't talk about such things …" "Wen, you're here."

Seeing Chiang Kaiwen walk in, everyone in the room stopped talking.

Chiang Kaiwen pretended not to hear him and told Lin Family Member before returning to her courtyard.

Actually, it wasn't that Chiang Kaiwen wasn't sad, but no matter how bad Lin Fen was, she could always wholeheartedly devote her heart to her. Chiang Kaiwen was not qualified to say anything to her. But now that she was dead, the only thing she could do for her was live a good life.

Chiang Kaiwen looked up at the blue sky and sighed. This should also be her mother's greatest wish.
