The guests were seated in an orderly manner, and all were in place in less than half an hour.
The guests were seated, and the young and middle-aged people of the Xiao family and the Chao family were also seated first.
Chao Er and his wife, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, and several middle-aged and young people in charge of the two families took the seating list and accompanied the newlyweds to the banquet to say hello.
It's said to say hello, but it's actually to adjust seats to see if anyone is sitting in the wrong seat. There is another reason - they also want to see why there are hundreds of extra people.
Guests who have reserved seats in advance are basically seated in their assigned seats, and young people who are close friends with the Xiao Chao family and have infants under the age of ten are also basically arranged to sit at the same table.
Everyone at the same table has children, and they each take care of their own children. No one should blame anyone else's child for eating too much delicious food, or blame the person at the same table who has children for picking out the best food, or blame the child for being dissatisfied.
The fuss affects the appetite.
It is also the fairest arrangement for guests with children to sit at the same table as those with children.
Mr. Chao and his father and mother Xiao, who were married, moved from the east pavilion to the west pavilion. After walking around, they also determined the number of tables, a total of 166, and they almost understood the reason for the hundreds of extra people.
p>
The extra ones are "driver" and "child".
When hosting a banquet in a hotel or at home, the host and guest almost all abide by the unwritten rules - the driver does not sit at the table, that is, the host only has seats for the invited guests, and the guest's driver does not accompany the host to the table.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the invited person drives by himself or takes a taxi. If there is a driver at home, the driver will only be sent to the destination. The driver will go to other places to wait first. If the host's family has other arrangements, the driver will only go to the host's home.
Provide them with a place to eat and rest.
Most of the people attending the banquet are shameless, and if they have children, they are usually under ten years old.
Most of the guests attending the wedding banquet of Chao and Xiao's family brought "drivers" and children.
The drivers are not real drivers, their family members or relatives act as "drivers", and the children are not real boys, but teenagers under the age of 18.
People who are over the age of 18 are adults, and young people who are under the age of 18 are minors and are "old children", and older children are also children.
Many invited families took advantage of the opportunity and brought their children or grandchildren under the age of 18, and many families even brought two or three.
As a result, the number of people will naturally exceed the limit.
After Chao Erye and Xiao's father walked around, they found out the reason for the extra four hundred people. They remained calm on their faces and cursed hundreds of MMP in their hearts.
Just two words after the scolding - haha.
This time a loophole was taken advantage of, and they admitted their defeat. From now on, they will also keep a close eye on anyone who wants to take advantage of the loophole in the future.
After going to the banquet to check and return to the main hall, the parents and elders informed each other and allowed the newlyweds to enter the banquet. The parents went to the kitchen in person and asked the chefs to prepare the dishes.
The wine glasses and dishes have been served in advance, so just serve them directly when the food is served.
The host informed that the dishes could be served, and the chef and waiters started work as scheduled. The waiters served red wine to the guests first, and then served the dishes.
When Uncle Chao notified the kitchen that the food was ready to be served, Brother Jie, who was well prepared, opened a vat, took the stewed whole lamb with yellow skin and crispy meat out of the vat, placed it on a long table and brought it to the little girl.
p>
The little Lolita's long sleeves were rolled up above her elbows, wrapped around her arms, and then tied up with cloth strips. She wore an apron and gloves, looking smart and capable.
She stood opposite Mr. Xuan and the others, and to her left was Handsome Yan. When the stewed whole lamb came out of the oven, the little Loli took a big kitchen knife and cut it left and right, cutting the sheep into several parts with a few cuts.
p>
The goose, chicken, and glutinous materials in the sheep's belly are not served because they are small in quantity, so they are set aside first.
Student Le Xiao calculated in advance that a lamb should be cut into twelve plates, and each of the front and back legs should be cut into 6 equal parts, and then paired with a portion of lamb chops including the back ribs.
Therefore, she cut a sheep into several parts with a knife, and then divided the legs and ribs. After matching the mutton leg meat with the ribs, she gave it to Handsome Yan, and pushed the second part to Mr. Xuan who was directly opposite.
Then there are Hua Shao, Zhou Shao and Ji Shao.
Mr. Yan, Mr. Xuan Shaohua, Mr. Shaoji and Mr. Zhou cut the portion of lamb leg and ribs cut out by Little Loli into small pieces and put them on a plate.
Each sheep weighs more than sixty kilograms except for its hooves and head, and each plate of meat weighs an average of ten kilograms.
Brother Fu and Brother Qian are responsible for passing the plates. When the plates are full, they move them to the tray on another long table.
Brother Jie is a brick. In addition to opening the vat to cook the lamb, he can be moved wherever needed at other times.
The little loli can wield a knife like the wind, and it is more than enough for one person to feed five people.
When she and the handsome guys finished cutting up the fourteenth lamb, the waiters also brought the other dishes that had been served first, and went from the Wuwei Tower to the Wuwei Cupboard to bring the braised whole lamb.
The waiters work in teams of two, with one person carrying the tray and the other delivering the food.
The waiters first carried some trays to the Hall of Heroes, and then returned after delivering a batch. While they were delivering the dishes, Xiao Loli and Wu Jun Shao also divided the last two sheep, and then the sixteenth sheep.
Divide half and cut into pieces and serve on a plate.
The extra portion is left in the kitchen so that the chefs and waiters can start the meal after serving the dishes.
After finishing their work, Yan Shaoxuan, Shaohua, Zhou Shaoji took off their aprons, washed their hands, and went to the Hall of Heroes with the little Lolita.
There is still a seat in the Hall of Heroes, but Brother Qian, Brother Jie and Brother Fu don’t want to go, so they stay in the kitchen to pack things and wait for the chef to finish their work before eating together.
Mr. Yan, Mr. Xuan, Mr. Hua, Mr. Ji and Mr. Zhou, who were in suits and leather shoes, arrived at the corridor of the main hall, went to the West Pavilion, entered the hall with a scent, and went to sit at their seats.
The handsome young man accompanied his elder sister and brother-in-law to the banquet to say hello, then turned around to greet some old men and women in the main hall. When the first wave of dishes was almost ready, he got away and went to the corridor to wait.
When the little dumpling arrived, the handsome young man took a sweet little cutie into the main hall and sat down at the largest main table.
Leshan was not sitting in the main hall. He and his junior brother, Luke, sat at the same table with the eldest girl of the Chao family and the person who took care of the children.
Zhang Xuanji, who follows her mother, likes to spend time with her uncle Leshan the most. She is almost inseparable from him, playing together in the morning and sitting next to him at lunch.
Li Zhao's job is to look after his junior brother. When he and Luke are playing with the children, he follows them not far away to prevent him from leaving his sight.
As the parents of the newlyweds, Xiao’s father and Xiao’s mother had no time to spare. They even walked around the east and west pavilions while the food was being served. When the finale of the first round of dishes, the braised whole lamb, was served, the couple returned to the main hall, opened the red wine, and chatted with them.
The in-laws and the couple served red wine, took the wheat, and made speeches.
Both Xiao’s father and Mr. Chao’s speeches were very concise, and their words together lasted less than eight minutes.
After giving a speech of thanks, the four members of the family went to work first as a sign of respect.
With the host's words, "Let's do it first as a courtesy, relatives and friends, please feel free to do so." The luncheon officially started.
The first round of dishes includes nine dishes and five medicinal dishes.
After the banquet started, the host and guests chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was great.
After the first course is finished, the waiter serves the second round of dishes, and the newlyweds go to toast.
Father Xiao, mother Xiao, Mr. and Mrs. Chao Er, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao personally took the lead. The best man and bridesmaids surrounded the bride and groom, and the four young men selected by the Xiao family and the Chao family to drink for them also followed.
The beautiful boy held his little cute little paw and stayed with his second sister and Brother Xiao.
The old men greeted the guests at the front, and the newcomers toasted to the guests.
The bride and groom only drank from the wine glasses, the bridesmaids and best men drank on their behalf, and the pretty boys and little lolita were just there to make up the numbers.
Le Yun's original intention was not to accompany her second sister in a toast. She had other work. She was involved in the investigation. She was in the kitchen in the morning and detected someone with malicious intent towards her. She took advantage of the toast to check on the spot and find the target to record their faces.<
/p>
If the target person is someone known to Xiao Chao's family, just write it down in the notebook first. If it is someone unknown to the two families, it doesn't matter. She has a pair of plug-in eyes, and she can analyze who is related to everyone here at a glance.
.
If you are not related by blood to the guest here, it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as you remember the face, check the surveillance camera to see who he came with, and find the person who brought him here, you can find out who it is by following the clues.
In front of me, the second sister and Brother Xiao were toasting table after table, and Mr. Le was memorizing faces at each table, and then matching the names on the seating chart with the characters to seat them.
The Chao and Xiao family entertained guests in the paradise. The place was high-end, half of the dishes were medicinal, and the food was of a grade that their family could not match. The guests were also knowledgeable, and the special gentleman was generous and drank happily. There was no requirement that the newlyweds drink or drink in person.
Ask the parents of the new couple to drink alcohol.
People who are particularly close to the Chao family and the Xiao family occasionally make jokes to encourage the birth of the baby. I wish the young couple to have two children in three years.
The atmosphere is great.
There are more than 100 tables of guests, and each table will toast for one minute. For more than 100 tables, it will also take two and a half minutes.
The second round of dishes was served, and the guests ate slowly. Even so, it was not until more than ten minutes after the third round of dishes was served that the newcomers finished toasting to the guests in the East Pavilion.
The newlyweds went to the West Pavilion to toast. The young and middle-aged people from Xiao and Chao's family sitting in the East Pavilion took the time to eat. After eating for a while, they quietly left the table and went to clean up the fruit plates they had eaten in the morning in the pavilions, corridors and pavilions in the garden.
The fruit plate was replaced and a pastry plate and tea were added.
After a round of toasting in the West Pavilion, the group went back to the main hall to continue eating.
The guests in the East Pavilion and the West Pavilion ate for a while after the toasters returned to the table. Some guests who had to drive to other places in the afternoon or had errands to do in a hurry left the table first and said goodbye to the host.
p>
Most people were not in a hurry and sat and chatted. They did not say goodbye to the hosts until they had finished eating. The neighbors around the paradise said to the little girl and went back to their homes.
The guests left in groups, and in the end only the in-laws of Xiaochao's family and the first guests came.
Mr. Chao Erye invited everyone to have dinner in the paradise. Everyone happily accepted the invitation, called their friends to accompany them, and made an appointment to go to the park. When they arrived at their favorite place, they stayed there and comfortably cooked tea, played chess, and tasted snacks.
There were old men and women greeting the guests. Mr. Chao and his in-laws brought a few young people to help open red envelopes and gifts, and register them.
Brother Xiao went to the kitchen to greet the chefs, sneaked to the five-flavor cupboard to find Xiaotuanzi, stuffed a big red envelope into him, and stretched out his hand to rub the little guy's little head: "Xiaotuanzi, you have worked hard today, I will wait for you to get married, Brother Xiao
Even with a rotten stomach, I have to stop drinking for you."
"Brother Xiao, you can get out of the way. If you don't get out of the way, I will call Brother Chao and say that you instigated me to get married early. Be careful that Brother Chao beats you so hard that you can't enter the bridal chamber." Le Yun rolled her eyes. Isn't it good to have a career?
?Isn’t it delicious to study elixirs? She must have thought so hard to get married early! Whoever urges her to get married, she will be anxious to.
"Xiao Tuanzi, please don't trick Brother Xiao. I'm going to open the red envelope first. You can play with it by yourself." The way Xiao Tuanzi rolls his eyes is super cute. Mr. Xiao really wants to tease Xiao Tuanzi, but he is worried that she will be harmed if she accuses her.
I felt that I couldn't have a good wedding tonight, so I ran away in a flash.
