Chapter 253: 253 Prepare the Banquet
Ma Taohong's heart was shocked, and she put away her joking thoughts: "You are right, I will never despise life again. No one's life is despised, mine is not, and neither is anyone else's. We are all the same. It was achieved by the blood and sweat of the martyrs."
Yuzhi nodded: "It's good that you can think so. If you value yourself, people will value you."
Ma Taohong had a sore nose. She had never been told to take care of herself, even if it was her mother who loved her the most after she passed away.
When my mother was alive, I always liked to tell her that marrying a chicken is like a chicken and marrying a dog like a dog. This is a woman's fate, and she must learn to accept her fate.
But she doesn't want to admit it.
Yuzhi looked at the vast expanse of snow, and said softly: "There are many things in the world, and there are many choices. No one can take care of everything."
“What you can do is to choose what you want most, what you think is the most important, and then work hard for it.”
“No matter whether you are rich or poor, whether you are successful or rough, people will never stop pointing and discussing you.”
"You can't stop it, you can't change it, you can only face it calmly."
"One day, when you are strong enough to be fearless, you will find that those criticisms and belittlings will all become praises."
"The accusations you are afraid of, avoid, and unable to face are actually nothing but nonsense that others try to make you happy, and they will not cause you any harm."
"Do you see that my Da Zhuang is like this? Everyone used to say that he was a bully, a gangster, and he didn't end well."
"What about now?"
The things that have been bothering Ma Taohong all the time suddenly become clear.
Looking at Yuzhi excitedly, there was a sudden light in his gray eyes.
Yuzhi patted his clothes and got up with Sang Dazhuang's strength: "Goodbye."
Sang Dazhuang picked up the elm branch and walked up the mountain. Their world of two has not yet begun.
Ma Taohong didn't come back to herself until the two walked away, and shouted at their backs: "Can I do things with you? I can do anything. I heard that you are recruiting, can I?"
Yuzhi lay on Sang Dazhuang's shoulder, and said, "We don't accept people who can't even handle their private life well, please."
Ma Taohong paused, and made up her mind: "I will handle it well, I will definitely handle it well."
Yuzhi didn't reply, nor did she pay attention to Ma Taohong.
The young couple played in the secret base for most of the day, and the sun went down before returning home.
Tomorrow there is a treat, and the chef who came to help the chef has arrived with his helpers. Some things need to be prepared in advance, so usually you have to come to the host's house one day in advance for the banquet.
Yuzhi didn't want Wang Xinfeng to work too hard. After discussing with his family, he decided to add money to the chef. Whether it was labor or food, they would arrange it.
Lao Sang’s family helped to borrow some tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks in the village, so it was easier to do without interfering in the whole process.
The master chef is naturally happy, and he earns more money by doing this than simply cooking.
The whole family, old and young, come to help together, and you can save more.
The yard is already busy, and Lao Sang's family is watching the fun.
Master Xi’s whole family, old and young, came together. There were seven or eight people, which was enough, and the Sang family didn’t need to do it.
Sang Dazhuang saw that there was not much food prepared by the helper, so he simply asked mulberries and mulberry leaves to go hunting in the mountains and bring back some meat.
Old man Sang and old man Sang also want to join in the fun after hearing this.
Five people from four generations of grandparents and grandchildren set off up the mountain together.
It’s not to help the chef deliberately save money on this, the main reason is that food is in short supply now, and it’s impossible to buy it.
Prepared chicken, duck and fish meat, which is already considered rich, but the quantity is not large, and it is impossible to have a whole chicken, duck and fish for each table.
Common vegetarian dishes like cabbage, radish and potatoes will occupy the main position, which is contrary to Lao Sang’s habit of good meat, so I want to get more meat.
Wang Xinfeng was cursing. It was almost dark and I went up the mountain. Why did I go so early?
Yuzhi smiled and took Wang Xinfeng's arm, and said: "Mom, I see that the types of things are a bit monotonous, let's go and ask Brother Li if there are any unsold wild goods, and add some, so that everyone can buy more. taste."
The chef next to him blushed and felt ashamed.
The master’s name is Luo Yiguo. He is in his fifties. He is tall and has a big frame, but he is very thin, as thin as if there is only a layer of skin wrapped around the bones.
Bald, wrinkled face.
The appearance that should have some momentum, but it always makes people feel silly.
Lao Sang's family said that there were few things and he had to do it himself, so he felt that it was a shame to take some money.
According to the previous banquet specifications, the things he prepared were indeed less.
The old man felt guilty and uneasy, and blushed and said: "The master, I didn't do this well, the food materials, I, I, I won't accept it, the things I brought are an apology to the master, and I will pay for the banquet." hit..."
I want to make a discount, but I don’t know how much discount is suitable, so I got stuck for a while.
Everyone in the Luo family, old and young, felt their hearts bleed when they heard Luo Yiguo say that not only would they not charge for the ingredients, but they would also have to discount them.
I was quite happy to have a business, but I lost all my money and lost energy in working.
But Luo Yiguo looks naive on the outside, but at home, he is an uncompromising head of the family, and no one dares to refute his words.
All just muffled and uncomfortable, and did not speak.
Yuzhi smiled and said: "Uncle Luo misunderstood, we didn't dislike you for not preparing enough things, you prepared very carefully, we are very satisfied, thank you for your hard work. We will not pay less for your wages, let alone the money for ingredients, As much as you should, there is no reason for you to suffer."
"It's our own wish to prepare extra things. You don't have to worry about it. It's just that you have to work harder and work harder."
"We will also pay the corresponding wages for the redundant labor. We must not let you suffer."
Luo Yiguo's daughter-in-law, Duan, was afraid that the old man in the family would get angry and would not want money, so she hurriedly said, "It's all right, cooking is our job, it's not hard work, and it's not money."
"If you don't blame the things we prepared for not being on the table, we are already very grateful."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, the Niu's banquet a few days ago was the first order we took in more than ten years."
"You guys think highly of us and continue to take care of our business. Our whole family is very grateful."
"It's just that we have no skills, and we really can't buy any good things."
"It's also our fault that we were too big-hearted at the beginning. We didn't think of these things. We boasted that we took the job, but it caused you trouble."
"You are all good people, don't blame us, we are already very grateful. We will definitely do a good job at the banquet, the host can rest assured."
Yuzhi didn't argue too much, and agreed.
The members of the old Luo family were also happy. Fortunately, there was no blood loss.
Luo Yiguo understood his family's thoughts in his heart, even though he thought it was wrong to do so, he didn't speak again, it was all because of poverty.
Wang Xinfeng was not willing to ask Yuzhi to go to Li Gan to ask about the ingredients. When he saw a mulberry leaf slug running outside, he asked the little guy to help him run and call Li Gan to come over.
Li Gan came quickly, saying that there were goods, turned around and went to Zhao Qiang Shouhou to get the goods.
It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and it was completely dark. Every household closed their doors and kept warm on the kang.
The four generations of grandparents who went up the mountain finally came back.
