The cafeteria is not far from Hu Shunkai's house, almost a mile or less than two miles away. Nowadays, people walk directly, which actually gives time to prepare for the cafeteria.

The children have long been tired of waiting. Some children have been eagerly looking forward to eating the big banquet a few days ago. It is not wrong to say that these children are greedy, but the most important thing is that these children think eating the big banquet is interesting.

As for the food, it is a lively experience.

So when I heard that the banquet was about to start, I was in the spirit of racing one by one and trotted all the way. Many children even came back specially to pull their adults to speed up.

It wasn't far in the first place, but about ten minutes later, Gu Siwei and his group arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria courtyard.

At this time, the person guarding the gate had changed. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, whom Gu Siwei didn't know, but he definitely knew Gu Siwei, because didn't Gu Siwei and Wu Daorong recognize themselves as cousins?

Everyone knew that this person named Gu was Director Wu's cousin, so naturally they all greeted him with a smile.

As soon as he saw the people from Gu Siwei's side arriving, he quickly ran over and opened the door.

"Director Wu is busy inside, the table is almost ready," the man said to Gu Siwei with a smile.

Gu Siwei thanked him first: "Excuse me, please open the door for us at this time."

"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." The gatekeeper also became polite.

Gu Siwei winked at Qiao Yitong, and then led everyone inside. Waiting for everyone to leave, Qiao Yitong took out a pack of cigarettes from the small army bag he was carrying, and put it out

In the hands of Menzi.

"this……".

As soon as he saw the smoke, he knew it was good smoke.

For Menzi, peony is naturally a good cigarette, and he always smokes it with his mouth, and it costs 50 cents a pack. Usually he is not willing to smoke. He usually smokes the cheapest local black camellia, which costs 10 cents a pack.

Qiao Yitong said: "My master is getting married for good luck!"

"Then thank you." Upon hearing this, Menzi happily accepted the offer.

Although he also knew that Gu Siwei was getting married today, but he didn't mention the wedding banquet, he naturally had to pretend to push it, and then he accepted Qiao Yitong's words with peace of mind.

"Hurry up and go in, today's food is quite tough."

Menzi said this specially after putting away his cigarette.

"Oh, what kind of hard method?" Qiao Yitong said with a smile after hearing this.

Without waiting for the disciple's answer, Qiao Yitong said to himself: "It's okay if you don't have to be tough. Who doesn't know my master's hunting skills? Go to the surrounding villages and ask around. As long as you go into the mountains, you won't come back empty-handed and get some meat or something."

It’s too common, not to mention he’s getting married today, and if the guests who come to help don’t have enough to eat, wouldn’t they be laughed at?”

"Yes, that's the truth!" Menzi responded with a smile.

After chatting for a few more words, Qiao Yitong walked to the cafeteria.

At this time, the canteen was nothing special. Although it was a place where leaders ate, it was just a little smaller, and a small stove was used for cooking.

It's not like the small banquet halls of some companies a few decades later that were built to be comparable to palaces, with golden walls that were splendid upon entering.

There is no such statement now, and no one dares to do it. Of course, people may not think of doing it at this time.

So the small canteen is quite simple, with a few more white screens and four tables. Obviously these screens can divide the small canteen into several separate rooms.

The floor is also the usual flat cement, with some spots even cracked and cracked in some places, and the table is also an ordinary large round table, the kind that can seat twelve people.

The table is just a bare board, there is no tablecloth or anything, and there are no expensive tableware, just ordinary white porcelain tableware, and there is no such thing as spitting dishes, not even a water glass, and there is a small white porcelain tableware in front of each seat.

A pair of black chopsticks resting on the bowl.

Just such a simple furnishing.

Although the furnishings are simple, the dishes on the table today are very eye-catching.

Because the dishes that have been served are not served on plates or bowls, but in basins, not the big wash basins used at home, which can hold dozens of kilograms, and there is no need to use two basins of other dishes.

It was the kind of enamel basin used in canteens at that time. It was about half the size of the basin, but five or six centimeters deeper than the basin.

Already on the table were four hard dishes, so hard they could touch a stone.

One pot of roasted mutton with radish, one pot of braised fish segments, one pot of roasted goose with potatoes, and the most attractive one, the braised pork.

The bright braised pork takes on a translucent deep amber color under the light, making people salivate just by looking at it, let alone eating it.

"Hey, this braised pork is so beautifully cooked! It's a bit like the ones in the northern restaurants in the county."

A customer who knew the product immediately praised it.

"What does it look like? This braised pork is made by the Zhao family."

At this time, Wu Daorong walked in from the back, accompanied by two young men. From the look of their clothes, it was obvious that they were the cooks in the back. At this moment, they each held a box of wine in their hands.

"real?"

"It's absolutely true. I'm working at the power plant now. If you want to eat, there are relatives at home who can eat it, but you have to hurry up early, because as soon as the meat comes out, there won't be any left," Wu Daorong said with a smile.

When Gu Siwei got married, Zhao Fangming would definitely come to help. Not only did he come to help, Zhao Fangming took a day off today and spent a whole day making these three pots of braised pork. It can be said that Zhao Fangming was very interested in Gu Siwei.

At least half of the thanks to Si Dimensional for his work in introducing this food should be given to these meats.

"Sit down, everyone, sit down! The cold dishes are ready. They will be served immediately. Let's start the feast as soon as the cold dishes are served," Wu Daorong said.

"You sit down too."

Hu Shunkai was the toughest person today. He invited Wu Daorong to sit down and have a banquet with everyone.

Wu Daorong waved his hand: "You're welcome, Siwei is also my cousin, so what does it matter if I go up and sit down? Besides, there are some hot dishes that have just started to be fried."

“Isn’t there someone else cooking the dishes?”

The person who spoke was Hu Yanqiu's uncle. They were all familiar with Wu Daorong's family, so they spoke casually.

Wu Daorong raised his hand towards this person and said, "We don't have enough manpower, and we still have six hot dishes."

At this time, two young men came up with trays. Each tray was quite big, about eighty long and fifty to sixty wide. The dishes in the tray were not placed flat, but were stacked one on top of the other.

There are at least twelve or three dishes in it.

"So many cold dishes?"

An old man who had just been seated by the waiter couldn't help but say this when he saw the two young men bringing so many cold dishes.

The young man who served the dish smiled and said: "This is only half, there are four more dishes to come. Today there are eight cold dishes, six hot dishes, four pot dishes, and finally there is a meatball soup!"

"Good guy!"

When everyone heard this, some people took a deep breath.

Hu Shunkai opened his mouth at this time and said: "The main things were hunted by Siwei in the old forest. Although it didn't cost much, it was indeed hard work."

"Just say a few words!"

Xu Congwen held Hu Shunkai's arm and motioned for him to stand up and say a few words. Anyway, everyone's seating arrangements have been almost arranged now. The rest are young people of the same generation, and no one is bothered by them no matter how they sit.

Originally, it was Gu Siwei's parents who should have spoken at this time. As today's father-in-law loves his mother-in-law, it is natural that his son would be very happy to have a wife.

But now there is no such thing, so Hu Shunkai can only say a few words.

Marrying a daughter at this time means marrying a daughter, which is both a happy event and a sad event for the parents. But isn't Gu Siwei's situation special? There are no elders in the family, so Hu Shunkai can only speak.

At this time, Hu Shunkai refused to refuse, and he also knew that he could not refuse.

After standing up, Hu Shunkai began to talk, saying that he wanted the young couple to live a good life and love each other. Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu nodded in agreement.

"Come, let's eat and drink well!"

Seeing that everyone had wine in their glasses, Hu Shunkai ended his speech with a bottle of wine.

After a glass of wine is finished, the banquet officially begins.

Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu were sitting at the main table today. There were many elders like Xu Wencong and Zhu Shiming. Although everyone was talking and laughing, it was not as lively as the table of women and children next to them.

The adults drank, and now many women also drank. Only the children drank soft drinks, fresh orange soda.

This is not Gu Siwei's credit, it was obtained by Hu Shunkai, not much, one bottle for each child, and as for what to drink after finishing the orange soda, homemade sour plum soup.

The food at the main table is more elegant and limited. Needless to say, the children's table is full of people who are shouting and eating.

At this moment, the children stopped snatching because they thought everything on the table was delicious, and most of them were meat dishes. If you eat slices of meat, you can't eat pieces of meat.

Once they were spread out in this way, the children found that it was not like eating at a table before, where they had to grab as much as they could eat, so they naturally stopped grabbing.

The adults are not much better, because there are few companies that say they can eat meat at will. Even if you are the director and secretary of the factory, your salary is not enough for everyone to eat meat.

Except for Hu Shun's family, since he had Gu Siwei as his son-in-law, Hu Shun's family has basically been able to eat meat independently.

Why do I say it is basic? Hu Shun had to give away the meat to relatives and friends if he could get it, and there was no refrigerator at the moment. In addition to the pickled meat, some fresh meat had to be distributed.

When there is wine and meat, who wouldn’t make something special?

Not to mention others, even Qiao Qisheng was a little drunk in the end. It was not that Qiao Qisheng had not eaten anything, but the atmosphere was so refreshing.

We really managed to eat and drink well, and in the end, even the children's table had something left over. This is almost impossible to see at the dinner table, because almost everything that was edible was eaten.

There is a little leftover food, but it is impossible to throw it away at this time. I will take it back to my relatives and friends, and I can save one or two meals tomorrow.

It seems that this job can only be divided among the women through discussion today, because almost all the gentlemen are a little drunk, including Qiao Qisheng, and there are not just one or two who just lie down on the chairs here and fall asleep.
