Mrs. Liu then continued: "Not to mention, Qing'er really knows me. When I saw something was wrong with the person in charge of the kitchen, I hurriedly went to find someone to inquire about it."

"Guess what?"

"Those men are really the chefs and helpers that Dabai brought back from the shop in town."

"One is a master chef who makes stir-fries and stews, another specializes in desserts and pasta, and the third is responsible for fish, shrimp, and river freshness,"

"Speaking of these three cooks, the cook is from Shu, the pastry chef is from the south, and the shrimp cook is hired from the east at a high price."

Hearing this, Zhao Liu'er couldn't help but exclaimed, "Tsk tsk... Dabai, this boss, didn't do it for nothing. If he brings people back like this, then the women from their Wang family clan will also come over to help. Then do something."

What?"

Cao Bamei also said: "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to help. I would be too embarrassed to come here to help."

Zhao Liuer nodded, "Even if we help, at most the men will come to help carry the dowry and so on. It doesn't matter if we women come or not, we can just stay at home and prepare meals and make do with the children."

Cao Bamei said: "But I see that all the Wang family members are here. Men, women, old and young all come here to eat. It's quite a scene."

Zhao Liu'er showed a weird smile and said: "If you really want a grander occasion, you don't have to go back to the village to buy a banquet. Wouldn't it be enough to invite all your relatives and friends to the Baimeizhai shop in the town for a banquet?"

"

Listening to the two sisters-in-law, Cao Bamei and Zhao Liuer, discussing these things, Yang Ruoqing remained silent.

But in my heart I understand what they want to express.

In farmers' households, because everyone basically lives in poverty, there are few opportunities to really eat meat throughout the year.

Of course, the same was true for the old Yang family in the past. Although the old Yang family and the old Luo family have been lifted out of poverty, almost 70% to 80% of the other families in the village, as well as ten miles and eight villages, have not changed much.

.

For those families, the chickens and ducks raised at home are used to lay eggs and sell them for money.

Only during festivals or when very important guests come to the house, people will indulge in extravagance and buy meat and kill chickens, and everyone will take this opportunity to have a toothpaste.

Because there are not many opportunities to see meat and fish all year round, it is hard to hope that when a clan member or a family in the village is doing something important and wants to entertain the villagers, everyone will come together to congratulate them.

If you are just joining in to congratulate someone, then the number of people who go to the banquet will be determined based on the amount of money you contribute.

If you are doing business at a relative's house, then you are giving a gift, and the gift money must be more than other villagers' money, so the relatives basically flock over to have a banquet with the whole family.

There is also a third situation, that is, relatives with the same surname come to help.

Because the host family definitely needs a certain amount of manpower to do big things. The men have to do the hard work, and the women have to manage the kitchen. For the men who work, there are also other relatives, friends and villagers who come to congratulate.

They provide meals, so the women from the clan family come over to cook, and the children will also be brought over.

At that time, everyone will stay here to eat. Even if the women and children who help cook eat the leftovers from the banquet, they are all oil and water, and they can be meaty!

The most important thing is that I can eat with peace of mind, because I have come to help. Our ancestors have been doing this for generations, using labor in exchange for food and drink.

But now, Dabai has brought back an entire kitchen team.

This makes the women who came to help seem a bit redundant.

Under such circumstances, it would be a bit embarrassing for them to drag their children and daughters over for dinner.

Although no one would point it out and call it embarrassing, embarrassment is just embarrassment. This is an indisputable fact!

"By the way, I also found out something." Ms. Liu then revealed what she found out.

"Not only did Dabai bring back the cook and the waiter on this trip, but even 70% to 80% of the ingredients were semi-finished products that Dabai brought back from the shop!"

"What?" This time, Mrs. Sun was surprised.

"Did Dabai bring the ingredients? Are those dishes that use pork too?" Mrs. Sun was afraid that she had heard wrongly, so she asked Mrs. Liu again.

Madam Liu seemed to have guessed what Madam Sun was concerned about, and smiled meaningfully, "Yes, I couldn't believe it at first, so I went to inquire about it, and even sneaked into the kitchen to take a look."

"Not to mention the other meat dishes, even our hometown dishes like meatballs and meatloaf soup are all semi-finished products brought back from the town!"

Mrs. Sun was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Although Mrs. Sun is a dumpling, it does not mean that Ms. Sun is stupid and has no selfish motives at all!

That's impossible, the Sun family also has their own selfish motives, for example, the Sun family.

Before, the eldest sister was very happy to tell Mrs. Sun that all the pork for the banquet held by Lao Wang's family this time was bought from Sun's house.

Mrs. Sun was also very happy, glad that Yang Huamei could take care of the Sun family's pork business in this way.

At the same time, Ms. Sun also told her elder sister, Ms. Sun, that since Yang Huamei was taking care of the family's pork business, the price should also be given to Yang Huamei.

Now most of the ingredients for this banquet were brought back from the shop by Dabai, which means that they didn't buy the Sun family's pork. So what should I do with the half of the pig left by the eldest sister?

If it is before the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no need to worry. Everyone is rushing to celebrate the festival to visit relatives to give gifts, or for family reunions, and they will cut off two pieces of half a pound and go back to make tooth sacrifices.

But the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, so pork is off season, and it’s still a bit hot as long as the sun shines during the day.

If it cannot be sold, the pork will spoil, and won’t the eldest sister’s family suffer a huge loss?

Thinking of this, the smile on Mrs. Sun's face dimmed a bit, and she was no longer in the mood for the banquet.

Yang Ruoqing and Cao Bamei looked at each other secretly.

Last night, the two of them were in the Sun family's kitchen, and they already knew about this from the angry eldest Sun.

At that time, the two of them were still speculating on where the pork needed for the banquet would come from. Now when they heard what Liu said, something suddenly dawned on them.

Cao Bamei was not like Sun, she just felt unhappy and suppressed her smile.

Cao Bamei immediately lowered her face and said: "Let me tell you, this is not like hosting a banquet. This is simply dragging us here to taste the dishes of their Baimeizhai in the name of a banquet, so as to promote the business of their Baimeizhai."

, Sigh, who is this!"

Cao Bamei grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started to eat them. After taking a sip, she spit out the melon seed shells and the melon seed meat on the ground, and her brows twisted into a knot.

"Where did you buy these melon seeds? They are full of sand. One bite almost broke my teeth. What the hell are these! If you don't want to eat them, you won't eat them!"
