Chapter 51: Seat

　　 When Feng Yiping arrived at his grandfather's house, it happened by coincidence. Today it happened to be a grandfather's birthday. This old man, Feng Yiping is also called Grandpa. He must go to visit the New Year every year. The father is 75 years old this year, and there are already a lot of children, and there are more guests who come with relatives. With the people in the village, there are more than forty tables.

　　In contrast to many places, the banquets are arranged together. For example, in the Shaiguchang, the tables are all placed together. The tradition here is that the banquets are placed in the homes of the neighbors.

　　 The bowls and chopsticks are unified. There are always a few households in each village who bought hundreds of bowls and dishes, and several of them were put together, and generally enough for banquets. Those who have left the bowl and chopsticks, regardless of whether they give gifts or not, the host of the errands must take the initiative to ask for them. What about the gift money, how much to give back.

　　 But another major item of the banquet, tables and chairs, is very problematic, and I can only rely on various parties to make it together. But to be honest, every family has one table for dinner, and it is not easy to gather ten neatly arranged chairs that can be used to serve guests. Plastic tables and chairs are not very common in rural areas at this time, and most people can’t afford it. So slowly, many families ask carpenters to make large tables with four benches and a few high chairs. In this way, the family entertains a table. The guests' tables and chairs are all alive.

　　 However, new problems follow. You should also pay attention to coordination when you sit on the bench. More than once, someone got up and forgot to say hello, letting the one sitting on the other end throw a big horse.

　　 Sitting at a banquet can be regarded as a very important social occasion in the countryside. Relatives who have not moved around for some days also use this occasion to connect with each other. Therefore, they are wearing the best outfits. It turns out that there are even a lot of people who ask people to borrow watches and purses when they sit at the banquet. They usually don’t care about their hair and beard. They must also be carefully organized at this time. .

　　 Just like that, I was dressed very brightly and neatly dressed. In front of my relatives, I was suddenly thrown into a big horse or on all fours. It was embarrassing, and everyone was unhappy. Fortunately, at the wine table, it is also an occasion for demeanor. In front of outsiders, some people are cursing their mother even if they have opinions in their hearts. At this time, they are also very easy-going.

　　 There are also some people who are different. They have a bad temper. Seeing that they make a fool of themselves in front of outsiders, plus drinking some alcohol, they will do it on the spot.

　　 The host who is not so lucky, if it doesn't work well, a banquet will sometimes encounter several such incidents.

　　 Therefore, every table will arrange a Linglong person close to the host's family, not only to greet the guests to eat and drink, but also to prevent the guests from disputes.

　　 There are two tables in the main room of the grandpa's house, but grandpa is not there, he should be sitting with the chairman of the birthday star Weng.

　　 A table of ten people, watching him enter the door, Sanjiu added a stool and a pair of chopsticks to his own table. Feng Yiping didn't want to eat free food, and asked the third uncle if he wanted to make a gift. The third uncle said that grandpa had already paid the gift money for Feng Zhenwu and the others. Feng Yiping thinks so too. For such relatives to spend their birthdays, his family must give gifts. If there are no people, the gifts will be received.

This table is not outsiders, there are villagers, and the remaining two are the older brothers of the third aunt. The one sitting in the main seat, the third uncle teaches Feng Yiping to call his cousin, plus Feng Yiping is a child again. People object.

　　 Speaking of location, this is another problem that is a bit headache for the owner. Now everyone is seated. If the banquet has not started when Feng Yiping comes back, it will be annoying for him.

　　 is the table position, mainly the chairman and the second seat. A table of people is modest, and it will definitely take a long time. For example, it is scheduled to open at 11 noon. Some tables are pulled to 11:30, and everyone has not settled.

　　 However, humility is humility. If some people think that they should sit in the main seat, but arrange them in the banquet, then I’m sorry, people want face and tree bark. I can’t afford the banquet at your house, so I walk away on the spot.

　　 This is not bad, and there are even worse cases. Someone lifted the table on the spot.

　　 Anyway, let’s not talk about a village, it’s just one. Every year, there are always so many banquets. This kind of thing is not happening every time, but it can basically be seen every year.

　　 It’s been a while now, and all the disturbances that must have occurred before the opening of the banquet have passed. Even if there is such a disorder, Feng Yiping will not see it. Haha, this is also a late bonus.

　　The dishes at the banquet are served one after another. At this time, four dishes have been served. In the bowl on the table, there is some residual soup, and everyone's tableware is next to it.

　　 The tableware is very simple, a pair of chopsticks, a spoon, and a wine glass. Pads, bone dishes, flavored dishes, soup bowls, chopstick rests, all work that is not available. Some people think that it is not hygienic to put the chopsticks and spoons directly on the table, so they ask for another chopsticks, placed in front of them, and put the chopsticks and spoons on it when not in use.

　　 Feng Yiping wanted to go to the cupboard to get a bowl, but I think about it. Everyone uses chopsticks to hold it. It's not fair that you store the whole bowl.

　　 Everyone is smoking while serving the dishes, and they also recharge their energy. This kind of banquet, especially the kind of good dishes, has always been handy and slow. The two tables at Grandpa's were okay. Except for Feng Yiping, they were all grown-ups. It would be lively if you met the one who brought children to the table.

　　 At this kind of banquet, the most feared thing is to sit at a table with women with children. Seeing that there is a good dish that she loves to eat, she will put it in front of her in the name of the child's favorite food, and other people will not care about a woman with a child. Of course, she is not happy, that's for sure.

　　 After a while, the serving boy trot in with the tray. Everyone helped hold the empty bowl and let him put the dishes on the tray on the table.

　　 This time I served two dishes, one fried carrots with meat and one fried lotus root tongs. The adults said a few polite words, San Jiu greeted everyone for a drink, and then picked up the chopsticks one by one.

The 　　 bowl is the kind of blue and white bowl-don't think too much, of course it is not the kind of blue and white. It is the largest container for vegetables in ordinary people's homes. However, there are ten people on a table, and one person holds a chopstick, and the fried carrots instantly bottom out. After drinking a round of wine, the fried lotus root clamps are also cleanly divided.

　　This situation reminded Feng Yiping of the company organizing everyone to travel for the first time after taking part in work. They climbed the mountain all morning. At noon, the scenic restaurant was too busy and the dishes were on the way.

The young guys in the water are all hungry. One tomato scrambled egg comes, and in an instant, there is a little tomato juice on the plate. When the cooked pork is on the table, only a few green peppers and mapo tofu are left in a blink of an eye. The one who can scoop a spoon, the slow one can only scrape the bottom of the plate...

　　 Sometimes, it’s just grabbing to have an appetite. After six or seven dishes are eaten, people at a few tables, including the one with more girls, feel even hungry and keep pushing the dishes. The tour guide didn’t think this would work. He went to the kitchen and said, every table comes with a plate of Yangzhou fried rice and fried rice cakes. The rest of the dishes are not served one after another. They are served together when they are fried. This is normal on the table. .

The situation today is also the same. Feng Yiping is very proactive. Without Sanjiu's help, he also grabbed two chopsticks. Now it is not the time to be polite. If you are polite, the food will be gone. People laugh, everyone is the same.

　　 The guy in the patting hall trot in again. At the banquet, everyone should start quickly. The kitchen is the same. At the beginning, the amount of dishes must be sufficient. Every spoon is rounded. Later, when the chef fills the bowl, the spoon will always be pressed and all the tables are finished. There should always be some leftovers of each dish.

　　 This is because sometimes there are guests who are far away, or some people are delayed on the way, and cannot make it to the opening of the table. These latecomers have to open another table and have all the dishes they should have.

　　Also, after the guests are gone, the chef himself, and the lads who help out in the kitchen, and the lads who run the hall, have to eat too, so I can’t stay less.

　　 There are still four bowls on the tray, two bowls per table. This time the two bowls are the same. The red bean soup is a sweet. For sweets, Feng Yiping has never caught a cold, so he just tasted it, and only took a spoonful.

When receiving the bowl, the patron looked at the wine bottle and shook the earthenware pot that filled the rice wine. He said to San Jiu, “Uncle Guoxing, please also ask everyone to drink more. Until now, the rice wine has basically not moved, and the white wine Open two bottles, you are welcome, not only eat well, but also drink well."

　　The cousin who was sitting in the main seat smiled and said, "This is true. I wanted to have a few drinks, but you didn't accompany Guoxing."

Sanjiu heard this and immediately picked up the wine bottle~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and filled his own glass, "Everyone knows that I don’t have much alcohol, but since you said that as a brother, then I will die with the gentleman today. Come on, let's do one first, and everyone will do what they want."

Sanjiu's two elder brothers, one drinking white wine and the other rice wine, were all gearing up at this time, "Don't worry, Guoxing is drinking, and there are two of us. Today, our three brothers must let you drink. "

　　 That uncle cousin was also joking. He had a drink with the third uncle, had a drink with his two uncles, and offered another cup to the whole table, and then he asked for mercy.

　　 But, there must be such a person on the wine table, and the atmosphere becomes lively.

In this way, one after another, until the eleventh dish, after the fried fish, the lad came here. This time he walked a bit slower and steady, because the four dishes on the tray seemed to be heavier this time. The dishes are different from the previous ones, and there is a bowl on top of each bowl.

　　 When you see this, everyone understands that there will be a total of 24 dishes today, because the tureen dishes come up, which means the banquet is halfway through.

　　 There is fried fish. After putting these two dishes on the table, the lad did not rush to leave. He stood aside and smoked a cigarette and took a breath. The third uncle brought the fried fish over, and he took a few pieces.

　　 These two dishes will be placed on the table for now, and no one is moving.

　　 Gradually, firecrackers sounded not far away, and then there was a tumult, just like this one after another, the sound of firecrackers and noise came closer and closer here.
