Chapter 513: Getting married? Does having elbow skin matter?
After this shout was made, the people in the yard immediately took action.
The man who was originally standing and chatting and smoking threw away his cigarette and hurriedly sat down on the chair.
People like Xu Damao, who were eating melon seeds and chatting, were stuffing the seeds into their pockets with their left hand while picking up the chopsticks on the table with their right hand.
Without the process of bowing and serving tea, the banquet started much earlier than usual.
The purpose of this meal has become more pure than before, which is to eat, work hard, and leave by holding the wall when full.
“Cold braised pork slices~”
“Spicy and sour shredded cabbage~”
When two appetizing and refreshing cold dishes were served on the table, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Good guy!
Both dishes are covered with a layer of red oil, which looks extremely tempting.
But before you start eating, the aroma of the cold dish has already penetrated your nose, making you drool.
There was no polite talk and everyone stretched out their chopsticks almost at the same time.
A few of them reacted faster. As soon as the dishes were placed on the table, they had already handed over the chopsticks. By the time others reacted, they had already picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and tasted it first.
Then when everyone put away their chopsticks, they had already started attacking the second dish.
Fortunately, this wedding banquet was held in the village, so there was no particular emphasis on seating, and only people who knew each other would choose to sit together.
Otherwise, the way those few people were fighting for food just now would definitely cause dissatisfaction.
Fortunately, these people are a minority, and most of them are decent people. Since someone is not decent, they will make him decent together.
Therefore, the few people who acted the fastest were directly targeted by the others at the table, and everyone squeezed them together.
Otherwise, judging by the way they eat, they would have already taken several bites just as everyone else took one.
If we don't squeeze them, no one will enjoy the meal.
However, Secretary Shi put a lot of effort and money into the wedding banquet. Each dish was served in generous portions, and even the cold dishes were piled high. Even if some people were greedy and wanted to grab some food, everyone else could still get some.
The groom Shi Delu's table was occupied by his close friends and colleagues. They had just been comforting the groom, saying that it was his first marriage and he had encountered such a thing.
Some people felt that this was quite embarrassing, as they were arranged to have dinner even though they had not received any gift money. They thought about giving the groom some advice and then leaving after he sat for a while.
But when the dishes were served, this concern was dispelled.
"I have to say that today's chef has amazing knife skills. Look at this plate of lotus root slices that have just been served. The thickness is neither too thick nor too thin, almost the same!" Someone picked up a lotus root slice and exclaimed in amazement. He has eaten at least fifty banquets since he was a child, and this is the first time he has been amazed by a cold dish.
"Hey, you were smoking just now, so you didn't have time to eat, right? I guarantee that after eating the two cold dishes above, you won't be amazed by the knife skills. They tasted really good. I haven't eaten such delicious cold dishes in any restaurant in the city."
The man smiled awkwardly when he heard that. He really couldn't bear to throw away the cigarette just now, so he didn't have time to taste it. So after he finished smiling, he put the lotus root slices into his mouth.
Just with that taste, the man's smile froze on his face.
After several rounds, the man took a deep breath and said in shock: "It tastes so good! The restaurants in the city can't compare to this!"
Just a simple dish of cold lotus root slices opened the door to a new world for him.
Nowadays, are the chefs who prepare banquets in the countryside so awesome?
In comparison, those restaurant chefs in the city are just there to eat and do nothing. They should bring their people to the countryside to learn skills!
After eating the lotus root slices, the man hurriedly picked up a handful of cold braised pork slices with chopsticks. This time he was much more excited than the last time. He picked up four or five slices of meat and put them into his mouth.
Ah!
It is still as amazing, spicy and fresh in the mouth, and chewy, but not the kind that does not require much effort to chew.
Even an elderly man with gap-toothed eyes can eat this dish.
What a great dish to go with wine!
Some people who originally didn't plan to drink couldn't help but open a bottle of wedding wine.
It would be a waste of delicious food if you don't drink something with this dish.
As for not drinking and driving, or not driving after drinking, there is no such concept in this era.
It was also the first time for the groom to taste Chen Jun’s cooking. After taking a few bites of the dish, his originally gloomy mood was suddenly torn apart, and a ray of hot sunlight shone in, sweeping away the previous haze.
What Hu Xiaoli, what mother-in-law, what damn red envelope, what marriage, none of them are important in front of this wedding banquet.
There is only one thing on his mind now, and that is to eat well!
Several friends sitting around him were in an even better mood. If they could attend such a wedding banquet again, they would not hesitate to give a gift money again.
It’s so delicious!
They were not the only ones who had the same idea. The situation at the table of elders next to them was even more intense.
All the elders, represented by Secretary Shi, enjoyed the meal to their heart's content.
"Brother-in-law, where did you find this chef? The dishes he cooked are amazing. Look at this big piece of pork elbow skin, it's so delicious that it's killing you with just one bite!" Secretary Shi's brother-in-law said as he picked up another piece of pork elbow skin and ate it with his mouth full of oil.
"Hahaha, I have to thank my cousin for this. He invited the chef from the steel rolling mill. He is a serious director and has won the first place in a cooking competition. Normally, if you want to eat his cooking, you may not be able to invite him even if you pay." Secretary Shi was also very satisfied with the pork elbow. He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, feeling extremely comfortable.
It was as if eating could change a person's mood, and all the anger that was previously held in my heart disappeared.
I have even started planning to ask Director Chen to be the chef when my son gets married next time, even if it costs a little more.
No, not only for marriages, but also when grandchildren are born, we have to invite Director Chen.
"Steel mill? Which steel mill? The Red Star Steel Mill?" Secretary Shi's brother-in-law had obviously heard of steel mills and immediately guessed that it was the Red Star Steel Mill.
He also works in the city, and a while ago he heard a colleague in the office bragging about a visit to a steel mill for a treat.
The taste was praised to perfection by my colleagues.
In addition to its famous food, the steel mill is also famous for one thing: Red Star Bread, which is the bread sold in the cafeteria.
The girls in the office would go buy some every now and then. My brother-in-law once shamelessly asked for a small piece, and it tasted really good, with a milky flavor.
These office girls often joke with each other, saying that if they could marry a cook in a steel mill, they would have a very happy life and could eat as much bread as they wanted.
