In addition to face-to-face discussions about the wedding of Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning, the secondary purpose of the meeting between Yu Gu and his family at Pujiang No. 1 was to taste the wedding banquet.
This wedding banquet was a grand one with the attention of both parties. There were twenty-four dishes on the menu.
The dishes are divided into three parts.
One is the eight delicacies of the sea, represented by sea cucumber, abalone, shark's fin, etc., and the second is the eight delicacies of the land, represented by deer sinew, peacock, hericium, etc.
As for the third part, it is also eight courses.
Among them are the nine-turn large intestine, braised mutton, pork belly, Sixi meatballs and other dishes that represent the characteristics of Yu Zhiming's hometown.
These four dishes are all made in Shandong cuisine. Among them, the braised pork and braised mutton are the most popular signature dishes in Xiangwan Restaurant besides the steamed buns.
Today, these two dishes for the wedding will also be prepared on site by the chef of Xiangwan Canteen.
There are also four dishes that represent the characteristics of Qing Ning's hometown, namely braised lion head goose head, national defense dish, beef ball soup pot, and boiled snails.
Because there were more people at the table today, including Yu Zhiming's two guards and the Yu family's security personnel, there were more than 30 people, so every dish was served in double portions.
The huge round dining table slowly rotated in a circle, and those with slightly smaller appetites were basically full.
Yu Zhiming didn't need to worry about the wedding. He just needed to show up on time, follow the arrangements, and follow the procedures step by step. Therefore, when Yu Gu's family went back and forth to discuss the wedding, he was feasting.
Not only that, Qing Ning also helped him pick up vegetables.
When Yu Zhiming finally had enough to eat and drink, Qing Ning asked with a crooked eyebrow: "How do you feel about this table of food?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and praised: "No money is wasted, it is all delicious food that leaves a lasting impression on your mouth."
“Delicious, very delicious.”
Qing Ning said with a smile: "The ingredients are sent to the place of origin to carefully select the best. The chefs for each dish are also famous and experienced chefs."
When Yu Zhiming heard this, he knew the whole story from a glimpse. He looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and whispered to Qing Ning: "Our wedding has made the elders worry too much."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "They also enjoy it. My mother said that this year is the happiest and most satisfying year for her."
"My brother is in trouble, and he finally got married again. The most important thing is that my sister-in-law is pregnant."
"As for me, they are even more surprised and delighted to find you, the unparalleled one in the world, as my husband."
Qing Ning then chuckled: "My mother said that sometimes she even worries that this is just a sweet dream for her."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said: "Qing Ning, you don't have to come back every night these days. You can stay at home and sleep with your mother, and talk quietly between mother and daughter."
Qing Ning nodded lightly and said, "That's right, I haven't had a whisper with my mother for a long time."
"After we get married and have children, the time we spend with our parents will only become less and less in the future."
Qing Ning raised her eyebrows and said, "Well, it's decided then. I'll come back to accompany you every other day."
She warned again with a serious look on her face: "Zhi Ming, if you are alone at home, be obedient and take care of yourself."
Yu Zhiming glanced at her sideways and said, "Before we were together, I took good care of myself."
Qing Ning hesitantly said: "Could it be that everything I knew before was wrong? Didn't several sisters take turns taking care of you before? In order to take care of you, the fourth sister even came to Binhai with her."
Yu Zhiming hummed: "I just gave them the opportunity to take care of me. It doesn't mean that I can't take care of myself."
Qing Ning agreed with a smile on her face: "Yes, yes, my family Zhiming not only takes care of himself, but also takes care of others."
"My sisters' families have undergone great changes in just one year. This is the biggest proof."
Yu Zhiming's eyes slowly swept over his parents, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, second sister, third sister and fourth sister, and he suddenly felt a different kind of feeling.
He is getting married and will truly become the head of the family. He can no longer run to his family for help when he encounters problems and difficulties like before.
That's how it is when you start a family and start a business.
Although Yu Zhiming has become the pillar of the Yu family early on, even to the point of being the only one, he still unconsciously wants to be weak in front of his parents and sisters.
Qing Ning felt Yu Zhiming's emotional changes, held his hand, and said with a sweet smile: "Do you suddenly feel that you have grown up a lot?"
"My mother said that men grow up very late. Marriage is an opportunity for growth, and having children is also an opportunity for growth."
"If a man has not grown up and realized his responsibilities due to these two opportunities, then this man is likely to remain a teenager for the rest of his life."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said: "According to your statement, a man will be a boy until he dies. Is this derogatory?"
Qing Ning hummed softly: "A man can sometimes be a boy and become a teenager. If he is a boy all the time, it will be a big disaster..."
Lu Hong, who was diagonally opposite, saw his daughter exultantly communicating with Yu Zhiming in a low voice, with a smile on his face.
She understands her own daughter best.
If Yu Zhiming wasn't really in love, how could he be so expressive and show his love?
"Don't worry anymore, right?"
Lu Hong looked at the elder brother beside him and said softly: "Why are you not worried? You also know the temper of that girl Qing Ning. She has never been so tender and careless towards us."
"For Zhiming, she has changed a lot. She even signed up for a cooking class to learn how to cook northern pasta."
"Qing Ning is so affectionate, and Zhi Ming is too good to be true. I'm worried that one day..."
Uncle Qing Ning looked at Yu Zhiming and persuaded him: "You are just worried. I can see that Zhiming is a good boy who is responsible and very self-disciplined."
"The Yu family are also very simple."
"As your father-in-law said, our little Qing Ning is born with a good destiny and is destined to have everything he wants throughout his life."
Lu Hong chuckled and said, "That's right. Chang Xuan and I were too busy to take care of her, so she grew into a little devil and caused trouble every day."
Uncle Qing Ning corrected her: "It's not that she's a little devil, she's just a bit quirky and has a good heart. Otherwise, why would our parents and your parents-in-law like her so much?"
Lu Hong said with a smile: "Indeed, this girl is very good at pleasing the elders. This is one of the reasons why I can't control her."
"Fortunately, the tree has straightened naturally. Fortunately, this girl is really lucky and met Zhiming."
Lu Hong lowered his voice and said: "Brother, I have always been worried that Qing Ning would appear in front of me with a yellow hair one day, and said rebelliously that this is her boyfriend and the father of her unborn child."
"To tell you the truth, I even made several plans for how to deal with the aftermath. Fortunately, this didn't happen."
"I never dreamed of having such an outstanding son-in-law as Zhi Ming."
Uncle Qing Ning laughed and said: "The facts are right in front of you, so don't worry blindly and cherish the moment."
"As for what you said about Qing Ning girl being too affectionate, it will naturally fade away over time, not to mention that children will also distract a large part of her emotions."
Lu Hong nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Qing Ning's first priority is to conceive a child."
"The Yu family is also worried about this..."
At this time, Lu Hong saw Zhiming holding his cell phone and leaving his seat again...
Yu Zhiming received a call from Ding Ye.
"Teacher, the French guy and I went to the seaside..."
