Chapter 423: Foreigners are coming to the banquet too?
Xu Damao took Hou Guifang's hand and walked into the door together, and the entry ceremony was completed.
There aren't so many rules now. Just offering tea to your parents when you enter the house is considered acceptable. There's no such thing as changing your words.
But Xu Fugui still cared a lot about his son Xu Damao. Although he didn't give him a red envelope or anything, he gave him a big gift.
bike!
Parking this thing at the door is equivalent to buying a new car when getting married in later generations. It is very face-saving.
Xu Fugui grinned and started distributing cigarettes. No matter if they brought gifts or not, everyone who came to watch the fun received a cigarette, even the women took one.
When Chen Jun brought the three foreigners back to the courtyard, there were already a lot of firecracker scraps in front of the gate.
It is obvious that Xu Damao has brought the person back.
Glancing at the kid squatting on the ground looking for firecrackers, Chen Jun waved to Yuri, "Let's go inside and gather some food."
"Luxi, Luxi!" Yuri shouted in broken Chinese, looking very happy.
This guy refused to eat the nice meal and insisted on asking for money. He is really stupid and has a lot of money.
Walking into the courtyard, Chen Jun saw the three aunts carrying small basins and walking towards the backyard.
"Chen Jun, you're here! Oh, why are there three foreigners here?"
The three aunts were frightened by Yuri and others.
Chen Jun explained with a smile: "This is an engineer expert from the steel mill. He heard that there was a happy event in the institute, so he had to come and join in the fun. Each person pays ten yuan!"
ten bucks?
When the third aunt heard this word, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Rich man!
When his son gets married, he can ask Chen Jun to invite a few foreigners to the banquet and make a lot of money.
Perhaps because they knew that Yuri and the others were generous, the three aunts were not so scared anymore and invited them to go to the backyard together.
"Xu Damao was very generous today. He bought a big bag of candy alone. People in the yard picked up a lot of it." Aunt Three said with a smile.
The two walked and talked into the backyard.
The third uncle Yan Bugui was still sitting at the square table, collecting membership fees from time to time.
Chen Jun brought Yuri and the others gifts, ten dollars each, which attracted a lot of attention.
Xu Fugui came over enthusiastically to pass out cigarettes.
Others may not know, but Xu Fugui knows the identities of these people.
The engineer from Russia was a man of status and status. When he first came to the steel mill, even the factory director had to accompany him for meals.
It’s such an honor to be able to attend Xu Damao’s wedding banquet.
"Please take a seat. You have come from far away, so you should drink a few more glasses today!" Xu Fugui led Yuri and the other two to a big table.
This is a good location, right next to their table, so it will be convenient for us to have a drink later.
As a result, as soon as Yuri sat down, Jia Zhang came over with Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu.
The three men's purpose was very clear, and they sat down separately after entering the backyard.
Jia Zhang sat directly next to the third aunt.
The three aunts were originally chatting happily with others, discussing what dishes would be served later.
When he saw Jia Zhang coming, his face drooped immediately.
hiss......
How did this thing get here?
Everyone in the courtyard knew that Jia Zhang was the most ungraceful person when eating at a banquet. She was thick-skinned, ruthless, and ate faster than most people.
Thinking of this, the third aunt couldn't help but glance at the other people at the table.
Sure enough, they all had the same reaction.
However, after a brief eye contact, the three aunts reached a consensus that they would squeeze out Jia Zhang when the dishes were served, otherwise no one at the table would eat in peace.
"See? The three members of the Jia family are here, but they didn't bring a penny." The third uncle Yan Bugui tugged at Chen Jun's sleeve and said in a low voice.
Are you here to take a seat?
Chen Jun was also stunned. He did not expect that the Jia family could be so outrageous.
"Isn't she afraid of being beaten?" Chen Jun said speechlessly.
"Well, who said it wasn't true? Their family just had a fight with Xu Damao, and yet they dared to come to the banquet today, and they don't even ask for money." Yan Bugui was also helpless.
If the three members of the Jia family ran away halfway through their meal today, Xu Damao might not even notice.
But if we see him when Xu Damao comes out to toast, it will be quite a sight.
If Xu Fugui and his wife wanted to save face, they would force themselves not to chase people away.
But Xu Damao would never tolerate Jia Zhangshi, he dared to fight her in person.
"Never mind them, let's go inside."
Chen Jun and Yan Bugui were people of some status in the courtyard, and were arranged to live in the house by the Xu family.
Although Xu's house is just one room, the space inside is relatively large, as a separate room was created using partitions.
Normally there is no problem for the family to live here, but it will be inconvenient once Xu Damao gets married, so Xu Fugui has packed up his things and plans to move out after today, leaving this house for Xu Damao and his wife to live in.
After entering the house, Chen Jun saw Xu Damao and the young widow.
"Congratulations on your wedding, and may you live happily ever after!" Chen Jun smiled and bowed to Xu Damao.
Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly stood up and introduced: "Guifang, this is our neighbor who lives in the backyard. His name is Chen Jun. Don't look at his young age. He is now the canteen director of the steel mill."
"Chen Jun, this is my wife, Hou Guifang. Today is my buddy's wedding, so you have to drink a few more glasses."
"Hello, Director Chen." Hou Guifang was smart. When she heard that Chen Jun was the director of the factory, she immediately called out.
Chen Jun smiled and nodded, chatted briefly with Xu Damao and then took his seat.
After about ten minutes, most of the people who came to the banquet had arrived, and Sha Zhu started to shout and serve the dishes.
"The chicken and potato stew is here."
When Chen Jun heard the noise, he couldn't help but look outside the house.
This guy Shazhu is obviously inexperienced. Didn't he work as an assistant to He Daqing before? How come he doesn't even understand the process of serving dishes?
Normally, the first few dishes at a wedding banquet should be cold dishes.
Moreover, the dishes are not all ready yet, so it is not appropriate to serve them.
There are certain rules for preparing banquet dishes. If the dishes are served too slowly, people may not feel full. If the dishes are served quickly, people may feel full in a short time.
Therefore, dishes are usually served very quickly at wedding banquets, which makes the banquet arranged by the host appear to be very sumptuous and leaves a lot of food.
But now is not the time to remind Shazhu, let’s talk about it when we have time.
The chicken stewed with potatoes was pretty good, and it scored seven points in terms of appearance, which is considered to be passing.
The taste is okay, better than that of ordinary chefs.
Chen Jun's table was fine; everyone was eating and chatting, and the progress was not fast.
But the situation at the table of the three aunts was different. The game started with the peak competition.
Before the dishes were served, Jia Zhang had already grabbed her chopsticks and assumed a fighting stance.
His eyes were fixed on the small basin, and immediately locked onto the chicken leg inside.
As soon as the small bowl was placed on the table, the chicken legs in it appeared in Jia Zhang's bowl.
