Before Han Kongque could say hello to the two of them, Liu Xu's eldest brother-in-law Yao Qianli said, "I've heard of you a long time ago, but I never got to know you. We will be a family from now on, so please take good care of me!"
Liu Zhi smiled and said to Han Kongque: "Your brother-in-law works in the Education Bureau, so there will be many places to trouble you in the future."
"What's the trouble? We will be a family from now on. If I can help with anything, I will never shirk it." Han Kongque was still very grateful to Yao Qianli.
Although he was a bit snobbish, he said in front of Cheng Minghua that they would be a family from now on. This meant that the Liu family had accepted him, so Han Kongque did not mind helping Yao Qianli when he could.
However, it seemed like he couldn't help him.
Han Kongque hung out here for a while, and then walked out of the room when Han Guangrong called him.
"Brother, the guests are all here and the dishes are ready to be served." Han Guangrong said after seeing Han Peacock.
Han Kongque said: "I know, I'll let Chen Qing serve."
Chen Qing must be very busy at this time, and Han Kongque walked towards the kitchen with a smirk.
Chen Qing looked at the kitchen, which was gradually getting quieter. He just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Han Kongque coming over.
"The dishes are ready to be served." Han Peacock said with a smile.
Chen Qing's face suddenly changed: "What time is it now? Our chef has just finished his work and hasn't taken a breath yet! Is this going to start again?"
"There is no way, we can't just let the guests sit and drink tea, right?" Han Kongque looked at his watch and saw that it was only half past eleven. It was a bit early to have lunch.
But now I'm attending a wedding banquet, and the guests arrive very early, so even if I eat in the morning, I won't eat too much. It's not too early to start now.
"Then let's go! Anyway, everything is ready." Chen Qing said.
Han Peacock glanced at the kitchen with a smile and said, "Thankfully you prepared a lot, otherwise today would have been even busier."
Chen Qing scolded: "Thankfully I didn't listen to you. If I followed your instructions and prepared twenty tables of materials and made ten tables of banquets, we would be very busy today."
Han Kongque could only smile and stop talking. He did not expect that there would be so many guests today. However, although there were many people here today, he was just doing business to protect his capital. You must know that the banquet he prepared was really sumptuous.
At this time, Chen Rui, who received the news that the banquet was about to open, led a large group of waiters to gather from various places.
All the waiters wore black short skirts, stockings, black high heels, and white shirts. Such a large group of young and beautiful young women gathered together. It looked very spectacular.
Seeing Han Kongque, Chen Rui complained: "Look what your idea has done to us? There are so many of us. Since we started working, no one has been idle."
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Don't we capitalists just want this result? They should be the ones to complain."
Han Peacock pointed at the waiters and said.
But none of the waiters felt unhappy. You must know that they all have their own seats, and the consumption amount of each seat is directly related to their commission. The busier they are, the better the business, and the better the business.
, the more commissions they get.
Chen Rui said: "I have calculated that there are enough guests to sit down at fifty tables this time. According to ten people per table, there are five hundred people. With so many people distributed throughout the entire upstairs, if we follow your stipulated number of people arriving every minute,
We really can't finish one dish, so we can only extend it, so it will take about two hours to finish serving the dish."
"Two hours? The longest time for a wedding banquet is three hours. It takes us two hours to serve food, so how much time do they have to eat and drink? If the toasting time is calculated, it is not procrastination.
"Longer?" Han Peacock frowned.
Chen Rui said with a smile: "We have already taken care of this, so sometimes we serve four dishes, or a combination of them together. This greatly reduces our workload and allows the guests to drink."
Time to chat.”
When Han Kongque heard this, he thought this was fine, so he said, "I don't care about this, you just have to figure it out."
Chen Rui smiled and said, "You don't care about your wife? Don't worry, I sent them some dishes in advance."
"Thank you." Han Peacock smiled.
Chen Qing said: "Then let's serve food? I really want to see this spectacular sight."
Chen Rui said: "It would be even more shocking if our waiters could wear Manchu and Mongolian clothes, or Qing palace clothes."
"Then let's play music and serve tea." Chen Qing said.
Following his order, all the waiters in the Red Mansion Restaurant started to move.
There are many small dining cars, and they quickly push down the entrances to private rooms, and then waiters take them inside.
"You guys are busy, I'm going to eat." Han Kongque saw that Chen Qing and Chen Rui were both busy and wanted to leave.
Chen Qing hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't want to eat. We will eat together later."
"I know, I'll go down and take a walk. When you're almost done, I'll come up to you." Han Peacock said and left.
Listening to the mountains and flowing water filling the building, Han Kongque first wanted to go to Xu Jiachen's private room on the top floor.
Although there were not many of them, they were all heavyweights. Since they were giving face, Han Kongque naturally wanted to go up and thank him.
Although these people come here with some purpose, this definitely does not affect some of the benefits that Han Peacock has obtained.
In the Tianzihao private room, Xu Jiachen and others were chatting. They also wanted to communicate and test each other, but now they had almost tested each other. At this time, Xu Jiachen had almost reached a tacit understanding with An Guo.
Both of them have common interests. Xu Jiachen wants to establish his authority when he comes down, and establishing authority naturally requires the cooperation of the public security department.
Of course, Xu Jiachen asked Anguo for help, and Anguo would not suffer. After all, the power Xu Jiachen held in his hands was not small, and it was also very important.
After they finished talking about the business, they started to tell some jokes: "Do you think this Red Mansion Restaurant is in vain? Why have our guests been here for so long and they don't even bring a pot of tea?"
An Guo seemed to be speaking casually, but others could not listen casually.
Cheng Lin said: "I think it's because we came up early. Those who are participating in the wedding ceremony below must have just come up."
An Guo wanted to say a few more words to express his dissatisfaction, but at this time the speakers in the room started to ring.
"Is this high mountain and flowing water?" Xu Jiachen said in surprise.
When the Han family holds a happy event, do they still play classical music?
Cheng Lin is the most familiar with Han Kongque here, and they have the best relationship in total, so he said: "It seems that the master is not negligent, there is a special program!"
"Well, you said that. I'm looking forward to it." Xu Jiachen said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. After knocking on the door, after a short pause, someone pushed the door open and came in.
The waiter started to serve the food.
But this time what was served was not food but tea.
As the waiter brought tea, the big screen in the room also began to change. What appeared on the big screen was an exotic scene. The screen actually introduced how to make milk tea.
"Is this white jade milk tea?" Anguo said tea just now because he was thirsty, so when he saw the tea served, he immediately picked it up and took a sip.
"Milk tea?" Xu Jiachen frowned as soon as he picked it up. How old is he? Are you still letting him drink milk tea?
"Mayor Xu, why don't you try it? It tastes very good. What can I say? This is definitely milk tea, but it doesn't have any milky smell. After drinking it, your mouth is full of milky fragrance, which is very delicious." Anguo drank a cup in one breath.
Drink all the milk tea.
Although the description was very contradictory, it really tasted like that. If he hadn't seen the introduction on the big screen, he really couldn't believe that this was pure milk tea.
He had just drank a cup of milk tea when someone knocked on the door again. Soon, four-color snacks were brought to him.
Tea food with knife cut, almond bergamot, crispy apple, and Heyi cake.
The names of the four-color dim sum were quickly displayed on the big screen, and there were some rough production techniques below, but the raw materials were introduced in great detail.
"It seems that the Han family has really put some thought into it. This kind of special snack cannot be bought outside." Cheng Lin said with a smile.
Li Changsheng, who had been silent at this time, said: "I have been here several times, and it feels fresh every time. This Red Mansion Restaurant is definitely not simple!"
"Red Mansion Restaurant? I wonder what these snacks and milk tea have to do with the Red Mansion." Xu Jiachen also took a sip of the milk tea and it felt good.
Several people were eating delicious snacks while looking at the big screen and talking about how these things were made.
Such a situation usually does not happen to them. People like them usually drink and talk about things at the dining table, and rarely talk about food. It can be seen from this that they are still very satisfied with the snacks here.
of.
Next, in a relaxed atmosphere, the waiter served eight more kinds of dried fruit preserves.
After a while, there were four more items, this time it was Sixi dried fruits: tiger skin peanuts, strange-smelling flatbreads, milky white grapes, and snow mountain plums.
"Did the Red Mansion Restaurant carry snacks? How come there are so many snacks and dried fruits?" An Guo said to Cheng Lin with a smile.
Before Cheng Lin could say anything, the waiter brought out four more sweet preserves: candied apples, candied longans, candied fresh peaches, and candied green plums.
Cheng Lin also laughed: "This wedding banquet, they focus on candied fruit, right?"
This caused a lot of laughter, and other rooms were no exception.
As Han Kongque walked, he listened to their discussion. As long as the young people were happy with the meal, they didn't care what was served. Anyway, the wedding banquet couldn't just serve snacks, so when they saw so many snacks being served, they were naturally excited about everything.
Taste them all.
And some elderly people, especially some relatives of the Han family and the Gu family, couldn't help but complain.
"How is this going?"
"That's right! Isn't this a wedding banquet? Why are there twenty kinds of snacks served in a row?"
"It's just that there doesn't seem to be such a rule, right?"
"And this tea, it's too ugly."
"Haha, let's not talk about tea. I think that's the tea you drink the most."
"Aren't I thirsty? Even if I drink a lot, it's against the rules!"
"It's against the rules. How can anyone serve milk tea at a wedding banquet?"
"Is this milk tea?"
"Why don't I taste milk?"
"What taste can you taste?"
Han Kongque saw that although they were chatting lively, their chopsticks were not moving slowly.
Han Peacock smiled as he walked and listened. Generally speaking, the guests were very satisfied.
But when it comes to the relatives of the Han family, that's not the case.
"I said you can't do things well if you don't have hair on your lips, right? Our master still agrees that Peacock is the master of our family!" This is obviously Han Jianguo's voice. He is still bitter about Han Peacock taking over the power of his family.
Woolen cloth!
"Stop saying a few words! I think the peacock is doing very well." Han Liguo's voice came.
At this time, Han Tianshan said: "What's wrong with serving twenty kinds of snacks? How can he not serve the dishes? Besides, who does he blame if he doesn't understand the rules? Shouldn't he blame you as a father? If you don't teach him, how will he know?"
Have you never heard of a son not teaching his father?"
Han Jianguo was silent. Han Peacock smiled and was about to go in to stimulate Han. However, before he could go in, the waiter served the food again.
As the food was served this time, the classical music in the room had been changed, this time to Feng Qiuhuang. But I don't think Han Jianguo and the others would understand it.
But this time the waiter announced the names of the dishes for the first time: "Five appetizers: Dragon and Phoenix, shredded chicken and cucumber with Hong character, braised pork tenderloin with melon, Wanzi spicy belly, and Mushroom with Nian character."
When the waiter went down, Han Jianguo started to complain again: "What is this? Apart from a dragon and a phoenix appearing auspicious, what else is it? You can't blame me for this, right? Could it be that Han Peacock has grown so big? He doesn't
Do you know that the first dish should be chicken? But you don’t know that the second dish should be fish?”
As soon as Han Jianguo finished speaking, Han Tianshan came: "You are all old people. Who among the young people today still believe this? What is everything going well and what is more than enough every year? These are not as good as a dragon and a phoenix. The little bird has been there since he was a child.
He's very smart, not as stubborn as you."
Old Han was speechless. What else could he say?
The old man's heart has gone to the Pacific Ocean. What he means is that Han Peacock is right and he is wrong, so Old Han is very wise and does not say anything.
Since you can't criticize Han Peacock, you should eat more. Although he is very dissatisfied with the order of serving, there is really no mention of this dish, so Han Jianguo can only lower his head and eat fiercely.
The other Han family members didn't have time to talk, they all lowered their heads to eat vegetables. They got up early and were already hungry.
After everyone had finished two rounds, the waiter came in again.
"Four kinds of pastries: imperial bean huang, sesame rolls, gold cake, and jujube paste cake."
"Cake?" Han Jianguo glanced at Han Tianshan who was waiting for him: "I'll eat it."
"You can't stop your mouth with such delicious food? Eat it if it's delicious. If you don't eat it, you'll be knocked down." Han Tianshan ignored Han Jianguo's show of weakness and started a new round of chasing and beating.
Han Jianguo was so aggrieved that he could only lower his head and eat fiercely. What is happening? This dish has just been served, and the rice has already been served.
Han Jianguo thought so, and of course Han Liguo did the same, so he said carefully: "Dad, should you remind Peacock that it's too early for dinner?"
Han Tianshan snorted and said: "Eat quickly, where is this rice? Your food is so delicious? This is a snack."
Han Liguo was speechless, and he didn't know what to say.
Han Kongque didn't go in at this time. He saw the provincial old man scolding the two of them because of him. If he was present, they would be even more embarrassed and feel even more aggrieved.
Han Liguo had just taken a few bites when he saw the waiter coming again. At this time, he had some expectations. What would Han Peacock arrange this time?
Sure enough, he was not disappointed this time.
Just listen to what came from the waiter's cherry mouth: "Four kinds of pickles: palace cucumber, pickled black cabbage, sugar garlic, and pickled water mustard peel."
"Dad, what else do you have to say this time? Even pickles are served. No matter how poor the family in our village is, will they serve pickles at their wedding banquet?" Han Jianguo finally broke out. He felt that this time he was standing on the theoretical commanding heights.
, he wanted to see, what reason did the old man have to protect Han Peacock?
Han Tianshan slowly broke off a clove of sugar garlic and chewed it carefully. When he finished eating, he said slowly: "Even an old man like me who has not been to the city knows that pickles are now served in restaurants. If you don't
Yes, customers still want it, why are you so arrogant?
Do you still think this is in our home? Do you still think this is our poor ravine? Do you understand if you do as the Romans do? You know? Don’t you understand? You are out."
Seeing Han Jianguo frustrated, Han Tianshan was very proud. The few foreign sentences he had just learned from his little granddaughter made him speak very powerfully, which made him feel better.
I have long disliked Han Jianguo, and now he pricks me in front of me. Isn't this just looking for discomfort?
Han Liguo wiped his sweat secretly. Fortunately, he was a step slower than Han Jianguo just now. When did this old man become so powerful? And he speaks foreign language?
Han Peacock was also very ashamed. He really didn't expect that the old man would keep up with the times so much.
The few of them quarreled and ate the vegetables happily. It was said that Han Jianguo was not happy, but the old man was happy.
Just when they put down their chopsticks and before they had time to take a breath, the waiter came again.
"Aren't you serving the food too fast?" Han Liguo didn't dare to tell the old man, so he told the waiter that it was okay, right?
The waiter said politely: "Sorry, we are already very slow now. If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to finish the food by the time you are all full."
"Huh?" Han Liguo looked at the dishes on the table. Is this too slow?
"No food was served this time?" Han Jianguo still thought, let's see what weird reasons his old man could come up with!
He was disappointed to find that what the waiter brought him this time was wine.
"By the way, wine? How could I have forgotten? We have been having dinner for a long time, why are we serving wine?" Han Jianguo jumped up immediately. He stared at his old man with an aura that was like a rainbow.
"What are you looking at? You don't understand this? Do you think you forgot to serve the wine now? Boy, I eat more salt than you eat rice. Now the wine can only be served now when the food is officially served. Don't go outside.
Tell me you are my son, I feel embarrassed." Han Tianshan became more aggressive and almost poked his finger into Han Jianguo's eyes. (To be continued...)
