From that day on, Baixiang Town became more and more lively day by day, and all the inns and restaurants were full of people. I originally planned to invite people to live in a restaurant for three consecutive days, but ended up starting half a month in advance.
After all, the distinguished guests traveled thousands of miles to attend the wedding half a month in advance, so we cannot let them bear the cost.
If Chu Qianqiu didn't have a golden finger and made a fortune recently, his face would turn green when he looked at his daily bills.
Now the Chu family is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the guests, as well as the personnel expenses for the wedding, which costs at least 1,000 taels of silver every day. Such huge expenses are undoubtedly quite astonishing.
"Uncle Xiao, is this a little too much money?" Chu Qianqiu couldn't help but ask, looking at the bill.
It's not like someone is lining their own pockets.
"Lord Chu, you don't know. If you only ask for three days, you don't need to spend so much money."
"But if I ask for it for more than ten days from now on, there won't be enough chicken, duck, and fish near Baixiang Town."
"Since half a month ago, I have sent people to buy meat from various places. When I heard that the young master was planning a wedding, the price of the pork has more than doubled."
What kind of person is Xiao Changfeng? He immediately realized that his current boss needed an explanation, and quickly told Chu Qianqiu that because the standard of the banquet was too high, the surrounding meat reserves were rapidly declining.
"If adults feel that it is too expensive, you can add more whole grains, steamed buns, steamed buns, rice porridge, and less refined grains and meat."
"That's all, just a few small things."
"Let the people benefit and gain some reputation. Why care about the amount of money?" Chu Qianqiu shook his head and stopped worrying about this issue. 1,000 taels of silver a day, even if it takes a month, is not as valuable as one of his own elixirs.
Logistics in the classical dynasties was not developed, and their meat relied on local supplies. It was extremely rare for a big hand like Chu Qianqiu to continuously produce large amounts of fish and meat, which caused the price of meat to continue to rise.
Considering that ordinary people don't have many opportunities to eat meat, the rise in meat prices is an overall benefit to them, so Chu Qianqiu doesn't worry about spending more money.
And it was this banquet that made the entire Baixiang Town and even the surrounding people know him and Huang Xiaoxiao, and their reputation quickly skyrocketed to the point where they became household names.
"Master Chu has a kind heart and Miss Huang is compassionate. The two of them must be the reincarnation of the golden boy before Guanyin Bodhisattva." Liu Danping from the second-hand clothing store praised her every day.
"How can it belong to Guanyin Bodhisattva? It belongs to the Buddha clearly." However, her guest retorted today.
"Yes, yes, I heard that Abbot Juemi will personally pray for the two of them for this wedding."
"Amitabha, Abbot Juemi has the heart of a Bodhisattva. Only the wedding of two people can allow the abbot to come down the mountain to pray for blessings."
The people in the town were talking a lot. Even in Woniu Village, some people went to the town and came back and boasted:
"Master Chu is a good man. He treats the people in the town to eat and drink for free."
When they heard the word "free", the farmers in the village couldn't sit still and asked quickly:
"Is there anything good to eat or drink?"
"Hey, you don't understand. I eat chicken, duck, fish, delicacies from mountains and seas, and drink fine wine and juice. The tastes are all things you have never tasted before."
"Now even the beggars in the town who make a living can get a few meat buns to eat."
"Look at this food box, it's filled with braised pork and meat buns."
"The chefs in the town asked us to bring it back and give it to everyone in the village to try."
The young people in the town opened the food boxes, and the aroma of delicious food came to their nostrils, including white meat with garlic paste, crispy chicken, steamed fish, etc. Even though it had cooled down a lot, it was still delicious as they had never tasted before.
When the villagers heard that it was for everyone, they immediately became rude and started to grab it. The young man quickly closed the food box and yelled:
"Wait a minute, everyone has a share, whoever robs doesn't have a share, just follow the rules!"
Woniu Village suddenly became like a Chinese New Year. After all, for the farmers in the village, except for the court celebrations and Buddha's festivals, their lives most of the time were boring and boring.
Such a grand wedding was enough to become a topic of conversation among the villagers for more than ten years.
Not only ordinary people, but also classmates in the martial arts hall were amazed. For example, a classmate who was living in poverty usually looked like he was receiving poverty subsidies. When he was about to get married, he was surprised to find that he was actually a
A rich man, and a super rich man who could spend 1,000 taels of silver every day to entertain all the residents in the town.
Some students even asked in surprise:
"Qianqiu is such a generous person. Why do people say that the relationship between him and the eldest lady is an interference?"
After Zhao Lingyun heard this, he quickly picked up a piece of chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, and then cursed with some gritted teeth:
"Yu Hongen, if you can't speak, you don't have to speak."
"How could you, a very grown-up son, treat Chu Baihu with such contempt?"
"I want to address you as Lord Chu respectfully. Do you understand the honorific title?"
"But, but, doesn't everyone say that?"
Yu Hongen took two bites of the chicken leg and said without any bad intentions.
"Brother Qianqiu is now Liu Dutong's adopted son, and his status is no worse than that of Miss Huang."
"The Chu family just doesn't show off. In fact, the largest bookstore in Baixiang Town and the store that sells Buddhist scriptures are all owned by them."
Zhao Shengli put down his chopsticks first, and then corrected him very seriously.
"So shut up and eat more. You don't eat that well during training."
Another classmate quickly echoed:
"That's right, the food Master Qianqiu prepared for us is even better, and it also contains a lot of medicinal food."
"I feel that the speed of condensation of Qi is much faster, and the hundred-day foundation building will be completed soon."
It is said that one person can achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. Chu Qianqiu held such a grand wedding. At the same time, he also showed his strength to his classmates and exchanged more feelings. In the future, they will not go wrong in the Shenwei Army system.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A sufficient supply of meat is still a luxury for ordinary warriors, let alone taking elixirs. Medicinal diet has become a compromise choice for ordinary warriors, so classmates
They ate more enthusiastically.
Even Qing Fen and his gangsters have gained seven or eight pounds in the past few days.
"I told you a long time ago that if you follow Master Chu, you will have meat to eat and wine to drink." Qing Fen said to his subordinates while chewing on the chicken legs.
"Yes, Boss Qing!" Every gangster wished he had two more mouths and three more bellies so that he could eat all the food.
Such a huge expense was incurred in the prelude to the wedding, so the hidden benefits were naturally huge.
Chu Qianqiu received the officers, colleagues of the Shenwei Army, soldiers from the Li camp, etc. every day, and his relationship in the army became increasingly close.
Just like what my father-in-law said.
"A wedding is not just a matter for two people, it is also an important social event."
If we simply calculate the income, we have actually made a lot of money.
For example, Cao Zizhen, who saved his life, actually went to Chunfeng Tower for a few days before he came to visit carelessly and let Chu Qianqiu receive him at home.
"Brother, I have come all the way, how is Uncle Cao's health?" When Chu Qianqiu saw this prodigal son coming, he couldn't help but feel a bit of intimacy.
After all, he had stripped his body several times, and now he was very happy to see a living person, so he stepped forward and gave him a bear hug.
At this time, Cao Zizhen seemed polite and polite, and he bowed quickly and said:
"My father has always been in good health."
"This is Brother Chu's wedding. My father wanted to come in person, but he was troubled by trivial matters in the gang and couldn't get away."
"Please accept this gift."
"Brother Shi, you are so polite."
The gift on the surface was 1,000 taels of silver, but in fact it contained 20,000 taels of silver notes. Brother Cao probably made a fortune from it and gave it to the girls in Chunfeng Tower.
Chu Qianqiu didn't want to care about it and accepted it with a smile.
The two chatted all over the place for a while, from the Dajiang Gang to the Tianjian Sect and so on.
Although Cao Zizhen was a libertine by nature, his eloquence was quite extraordinary, and he was the best choice when it came to dealing with people and things seriously. No wonder Gang Leader Cao had many sons, but he had to let this libertine take over the position of gang leader.
The two chatted for half an hour, and Cao Zizhen showed an expression that was hesitant to speak, which made Chu Qianqiu feel a little funny.
"Brother, if you have something to say, I will never refuse if there is anything I can do to help you."
"After I came to Baixiang Town, I met a friend. He said that the person who calls the shots in Baixiang Town is no longer Mr. Huang, but Brother Chu."
