Yang Jun took out all the ingredients needed for the wedding banquet from the space.
In the past few days, he had calculated that he needed to prepare at least twenty banquets for his colleagues in the factory, neighbors in the yard, and old comrades-in-arms.
He knew from Si Zhu's wedding banquet that the neighbors in the yard alone would occupy more than half of the banquet.
There are more than 20 households in this courtyard with more than 100 people. According to ten people per table, at least ten tables are needed.
Now that everyone is on holiday, as a cadre of the steel rolling mill and the master of the yard, he naturally cannot be too stingy. At the very least, he must treat everyone in the yard to a meal.
He can't be like Sha Zhu, who can only have one person from each household sit down, while the others can only watch from the side.
He couldn't do that, and besides, he didn't care about the banquet.
Of course, he is not afraid of being reported. The street office and the police station are all his people, and he is still a cadre himself, and he has the support of so many seniors. If he is still timid, he will not be able to live again.
Chance.
Sometimes there is no need to look forward and backward as a human being.
If you consider the gains and losses before doing anything, then there will be no point in living.
Return to the courtyard.
Yang Jun carried half a fan of pork back to the backyard, and then called the whole family to help carry the ingredients.
After returning, Yang Jun carried another half of the pork, and then the family members ran back and forth several times to finish moving the food in the car.
Along the way, people in the yard were all excited when they saw Yang Jun carrying so many ingredients, especially the hundreds of kilograms of pork, beef and mutton, as well as various peanuts, melon seeds and candies. They were even more greedy.
"At that time, all the young and old men in the courtyard will come to have a feast, and no one will be left behind."
Yang Jun saw more and more people gathering in the yard, so he took this opportunity to make clear arrangements for the wedding banquet.
"The army is angry."
"Hey, a master is a master."
"Everyone, stop being idle and get busy."
Then, under the auspices of the second uncle, dozens of people in the courtyard began to clean up. Today coincides with New Year's Eve, Yang Jun's wedding is approaching, and everyone has to give the courtyard a thorough cleaning.
Everyone went home to get their tools and started cleaning the yard.
When he encountered debris piled up at the door of someone's house, the second uncle would instruct people to take all the debris to the front room, and then rearrange the briquettes and cabbage that were placed unevenly under the eaves.
When they encountered some unclean spots, they would use a shovel to shovel some new soil over them, and then the second uncle asked each household to clean their doors and windows.
Today is the New Year's Eve. Everyone has had the New Year's Eve dinner long ago. Many people in the yard have posted Spring Festival couplets. Now the yard is cleaned spotlessly from inside to outside, and it looks a bit like a new year.
The houses on both sides of Yang Jun's house were also pasted with couplets. Wang Yuying used a few taels of peanuts to ask the third uncle to polish the pen.
However, these Spring Festival couplets have not been posted for long, and tomorrow I will have to replace them with wedding couplets, but that’s okay, even if they are only posted for a few hours, it is still a celebration.
Yang Jun went back to his room, took two packs of cigarettes, poured some peanuts, melon seeds and wedding candies, and brought them out on a tray.
When everyone helps clean the yard, always bring something to thank them for.
At this time, the people in the yard had finished cleaning, and everyone was not polite. Everyone stepped forward and grabbed some peanut candies. Yang Jun opened two more packs of cigarettes and gave one to the smoker in the yard.
Later, Yang Jun gathered with several older people in the yard to discuss the details of the wedding.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss. In the past, as long as it was business affairs, Yi Zhonghai would be the general manager and coordinate the overall situation. Now that Yi Zhonghai has been transferred to Xishan Farm, this matter naturally falls on the second uncle Liu Haizhong.
The third uncle is still doing writing and painting work. There are many educated people in the yard, but he is the only one who is good at calligraphy. Not to mention that there are many rules at the wedding, what can and cannot be written, and what should be written.
There are certain things you can’t write about anything.
The wedding banquet was naturally left to Sha Zhu, but it was a bit difficult to handle more than 20 banquets at once. However, Sha Zhu said that it was no problem. He could invite more chefs to help. After all, he was a professional cook and I knew him.
There are many colleagues.
Yang Jun discussed the wedding with them and then returned to the backyard.
Under the light, the family sat together.
Let's check and fill in the gaps to see if there is anything else missing.
There was no need for those people in the yard to send out invitations. As for his comrades, they had already been notified during the gathering a few days ago, and everyone at the steel rolling mill knew the date of his wedding to Yi Qiushui.
As for his father Yang Gui's friends and apprentices before his death, Wang Yuying has already informed them. As for Yang Mei's coworkers and classmates, she is personally responsible for them.
Everyone counted the people attending the wedding and totaled the number of people. They found that twenty banquet tables were barely enough, but just in case, luckily Yang Jun took out the ingredients for the twenty-five banquet tables in advance.
Three hundred kilograms of pork, dozens of kilograms of mutton and beef are enough for a twenty-five-year banquet.
Later, the family took stock of the peanut and melon seed candies. The peanuts and melon seeds weighed thirty kilograms each, and the white rabbit toffee weighed fifty kilograms. Wang Yuying's face twitched when she saw it. If he hadn't seen that he was about to get married, he would have started smoking it long ago.
He did.
Who can use so much non-staple food for their wedding? They are simply a prodigal.
Then Yangmei and Yangliu took stock of the auxiliary materials, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, spiced dried tofu, bean paste, pepper, star anise, bay leaves, green onion, ginger, garlic, bean sprouts, bean skin, soybeans...
As for common ingredients such as potatoes, radishes, and cabbage, they are available at home, but Yang Jun did not take them out.
What surprised the family was that there were many off-season vegetables in it, such as spinach, garlic sprouts, cucumbers, winter melons, tomatoes, eggplants, beans, etc.
Wang Yuying praised Yang Jun's comrade for his ability, and he could even get vegetables out of season.
Yang Jun's face turned red and hot when he heard these words. He couldn't tell his family about these out-of-season vegetables. He must have gone to the black market many times to get them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as these out-of-season vegetables arrive on the black market, they are robbed by everyone. Yang Jun gets them at a price several times higher every time.
Sometimes, no matter how high the price is, you can't get it, and you have to beg grandpa and grandma. Even if you say good things, you just get a vegetable leaf from others.
Even if there is only one vegetable leaf, he can replicate a vegetable garden.
"Brother, as for the ingredients you have, my sister-in-law can't prepare them to such specifications."
Yang Jun thought for a while and felt that what Yang Mei said made sense. Even if the leader was in a high position, he might not be able to get out-of-season vegetables. But these days, everyone is short of oil and water in their stomachs. What they crave is meat, not like
People in later generations are all vying to eat vegetables as if they are suffering from the disease of wealth.
"Look what you said, your brother can do it, but with the ability of a big leader, he still can't get these ingredients?"
Yang Mei curled her lips and said nothing.
She felt that Yang Jun didn't tell her the truth. Recently, she felt that her brother was becoming more and more mysterious and his abilities were getting bigger and bigger.
In less than a month since he returned from his career change, he was first promoted from section chief to deputy director, and then from fourth uncle to first uncle. He could not have been promoted so quickly by rocket.
He can easily do things that even the leaders of the steel rolling mill can't do. Tens of thousands of kilograms of grain and pork are available as soon as they are available. Now even off-season ingredients can be obtained. In her eyes, there is no big brother.
Things that can't be done.
Especially what happened in the steel rolling mill and the yard recently, she felt more and more that her big brother was omnipotent. At this time, a desire for power also sprouted in her heart.
She saw with her own eyes that in order to curry favor with her eldest brother, the people in the yard all fabricated lies to exonerate Yang Yu, and forcedly described the fight between the children as a fight between Bangge and a big black dog.
Even calling a deer a horse is not such an exaggeration.
