It’s really rare to have a banquet in the countryside with a buffet.
A table of dishes with meat and vegetables, in theory, is the most affordable.
If you switch to a buffet, it is estimated that some small dishes will be unattended.
Coupled with the surprisingly high price of pork this year, there is no right or wrong in the family, and the average family in the countryside rarely buys meat.
If we switch to a buffet today, it is estimated that three big fat pigs would not be enough to eat, and the cost would have to go up another level.
“Since what buffet, letting you do a job is not only hard, but also costly.”Ma Si Yu blanked Wu Jun and was the first to object.
“Auntie, you are getting more and more buttoned up now,” Wu Jun said with a disinterested face, “Today the group came, the figure is a lively, and then costly, can it still be more expensive than a star hotel?”
“Yes auntie, eat well and drink well is the most important, third aunt’s family set up a buffet, is also considered to be a precedent.”Bian Xuedao agreed on the side, “Just like living in a villa, this is not the first one in the eight villages, walking in the forefront of the times!”
Ma Siyu rolled her eyes and said, “Still walking in the forefront of the times, you can afford not to walk in the forefront of the times! If I say so, you two are just lazy.”
The group of people in the room were all amused by this harmonic stunt of Ma Si Yu.
Prostate of the times, this is really the first time I’ve heard of it.
Ma Dongmei cried and laughed, “Old Five, you girl, you dare to say anything in front of so many people, you’re not ashamed.”
“Little sister, I feel that Little Jun’s proposal is quite good.”Dong Li Zhu couldn’t help but say, “Buffet doesn’t necessarily cost more, the city is not good more buffet restaurants, single person consumption is not high, didn’t add a few can eat back to the capital.”
Aunt and second aunt also feel that the form of buffet is quite good, Wu Guangqiang and Ma Dongmei also have no opinion, only Ma Siyu a person insist.
Wu Jun smiled and said, “Let’s put it this way, let’s take the most democratic way, everyone raise their hands to decide, those who agree with the buffet raise their hands.”
Wu Jun spoke in one sentence, the room clattered, except for Ma Si Yu all raised their hands.
Ma Siyu looked at her face almost black, although the voting was just halfway through, she already knew that she was bound to lose.
Wu Jun saw the voting result and couldn’t help but say, “Those who agree with the traditional banquet raise their hands.”
Ma Si Yu already knew the result, she didn’t even bother to raise her hand herself.
In the end, fifteen to zero, passed Wu Jun’s proposal.
Ma Siyu said indignantly, “You bunch of people, you’re definitely colluding!”
“It’s called public opinion cannot be disobeyed.”Wu Jun smiled smugly and turned towards the stairs.
The main person in charge of entertaining the guests today was Wu Lao Gen, the old village chief.
Last year, Wu Laogen was still thinking of stepping aside and letting Wu Guangqiang be the village head.
However, after Wu Guangqiang was in charge of Hongfu Farm, he was rather busy and could not spare any time to deal with the village affairs.
Compared to the head of Hongfu Farm, the position of village head of Xiao Wu Zhuang is somewhat dispensable.
In the end, it could only be Wu Lao Gen who continued to be this village chief, and Wu Guang Qiang was only titled as a village cadre.
“Grandpa, busy.”Wu Jun went downstairs and directly found Wu Lao Gen.
“Xiao Jun, this relative of your family is a bit too much!”Wu Laogen joked, “Other people’s relatives are getting less and less, but your family is getting more and more, I remember when your dad got married there weren’t even this many people.”
“It doesn’t matter, they’re all guests, so I’m going to work hard today.”Wu Jun raised his hand and glanced at the time, it was just after nine in the morning.
Although the table was already set, there were still about three hours to go before the banquet, so there was still plenty of time for preparation.
The custom of this side of Xiao Wu Zhuang is that the meal usually starts at twelve o’clock in the afternoon.
Wu Jun talked about the idea of the buffet with Wu Lao Gen, who heard it and reacted in the same way as Ma Si Yu.
“Little Jun, how much more money will this cost?”Although not spend his own money, Wu Laogen also feel very painful, “Today was not set up gift account, can save a little is a little, today’s hospitality down, don’t let people say bad on the line.”
Wu Jun said: “The old house has been living for decades, today finally moved to a new home, my parents are happy, today do not talk about money, just for everyone to eat and drink well.”
If Ma Siyu is present, she will definitely poke through Wu Jun’s lie.
You kid just don’t want to work, that’s why you find such an excuse and play so many tricks.
Wu Lao Gen saw Wu Jun insisted, so he didn’t persuade him any more, he also knew that Wu Jun wasn’t bad at this amount of money for food and wine now.
Even if all the folks in the township are invited, he can’t eat him for a while.
Wu Lao Gen said, “Alright, then I will gather the helpers and rearrange the work, I reckon the cold dishes are almost done, the meat gap is not small.”
Wu Jun said, “I’ll take care of this.”
After the two discussed, they split up.
Wu Jun made a phone call to Chen Hansheng.
Chen Hansheng in Pingshan opened a large hotel, know a lot of suppliers, a phone call to solve the matter of meat and vegetables.
At twelve o’clock at noon, the banquet was held on time.
“Mr Wu’s work is just open, it’s the first time I’ve had a buffet in the countryside.”
“Good guy, big fish and meat are not limited, the dishes are richer than the buffet restaurant in the big city, this meal today must cost a lot of money, right?”
An employee working in Hongfu Farm said to the guest beside him, “When has our General Manager Wu ever been petty, you have never been to our canteen, the food in our canteen is probably not comparable to that of some state-owned enterprises.”
Someone said enviously, “Where do you work, brother? Are you still hiring?”
“I work at Hongfu Farm, aren’t you a relative of General Manager Wu? If you want to get into the farm or the winery, it’s just a matter of Mr Wu’s word.”
The man looked embarrassed and said, “Er …… right, is a relative, is a relative, on the seniority of the words, General Manager Wu still have to call me uncle.”
“What relatives do you have with General Manager Wu?”
“I am the son-in-law of his grandfather’s niece.”
“Oh ……”
The buffet receives a good review, from twelve o’clock when the meal starts, it goes on until more than four o’clock in the afternoon.
The guests dispersed and the house was all picked up, the only people present were the old Ma family gang.
Ma Dongmei invited a group of people to stay overnight: “Don’t go back today, stay at home for a night, as a warm room.”
Before living in the old mansion, the home place is small, only three rooms.
Ma Dongmei wanted a group of siblings to stay overnight, but there was no place to put them.
Today moved into the big villa, the first floor villa has more than ten rooms, one room for each person is enough.
Dong Lizhu smiled and said, “That’s a must, no need for third sister to say it, Chaoyun and I don’t want to leave either.”
Eldest Aunt had no problem with this either, “There were so many people during the day today, they didn’t have time to have a good chat, so let’s have a good chat tonight between the three sisters.”
“What do you mean, big sister?”Ma Siyu was not happy, “Is our family four sisters or three sisters? Is it my fault to be young and pretty?”
Ma Siyu and her three sisters, there was a huge difference in age, and the youngest, Ma Dongmei, could be her mother.
Coupled with the fact that Ma Siyu was brought up by Ma Dongmei from a young age, the three sisters really didn’t take her as a sister, and subconsciously lowered her seniority, dividing her into the ranks of juniors.
Ma Qiu Mei said smilingly, “If you feel you can talk to our three old ladies, we do not mind adding you one more.”
Ma Siyu bristled and said, “Forget it …… I am just protesting, just now the words when I did not say.”
