Chapter 977 Marriage (Part 2)

A car came into Mianhua Hutong, and a group of people unloaded a lot of things from it.

Soon, a brand new military green tent was set up on the open space west of Han's house. This place would not delay anyone's business, and it would be fine if the tent was left here until Han Li got married and then put it away.

There were two smokeless stoves and some chopped firewood and coal in the tent. In fact, the big iron pot and coal briquette stove were just a phone call away by Hou Huidong, but he did not steal Tong Shaoxin's limelight.

After the soldiers unloaded the car, they were supposed to help fix the tent, but Han Li let them go first by spreading smoke.

Then Han Li led a group of people to set up the tent in a hurry. Some people were looking for stones to press the corners of the tent, and some people moved the smokeless stove to the middle to get angry first.

Tong Shaoxin came on a tricycle with four large coal briquette stoves, a large iron pot with twelve seals, and matching iron sheets and steel bars welded into a stove frame, as well as seven or eight grid steamers.

The coal stove was put into the tent, and the racks used to support the big iron pot with twelve seals were unloaded directly into the yard and placed directly in the corner of the wall. They would be put into use after cleaning the pot and lighting the fire.

After finishing the work, Han Li looked at his watch and asked Qi Zhaodi and others to start preparing lunch.

However, Han Li thought of a very serious problem at this time, that is, there were nearly 30 people in total, and there was no table and chair for the meal.

If it was a wedding under normal circumstances, everyone would borrow it from the neighbors for two days, and it would be sent back to them in the afternoon or evening of the wedding day with some "Zheluocai".

But now there is still a week before Han Li's wedding, and it is very inappropriate to borrow tables and chairs from the neighbors at this time.

Because everything is lacking in this era, and the living space is small, it is good to have an eight-immortal table for entertaining guests and a small table for family meals. There are very few families with two eight-immortal tables.

Even those kitchens that specialize in preparing wedding banquets for neighbors only provide tents and kitchen peripherals in this era. Kitchens now do not provide such services as tables and chairs.

If Han Li goes to borrow tables and chairs from neighbors now, what do you want them to use for a week?

Send them back every day? Not to mention whether it is troublesome or not, even if it is the same thing, borrowing it for a week will make the favor disappear. Thinking of this, Han Li cast his eyes on Tong Shaoxin and asked.

"Brother Tong, can we borrow a few tables, chairs and benches from the school? Otherwise, we will have to squat on the ground with our bowls in our hands during lunch. It would be fine if we were all grown men, but there are also Zhong Xin, Xiao Ling, Li Ru, Hai Jiao, and other young girls. It is not appropriate to let them squat on the ground with our bowls in our hands to eat."

"There are plenty of tables and chairs at the school, but they are all desks, not the eight-immortal table for entertaining guests."

"It's okay. If we bring back two of them and put them together, it will be an eight-immortal table."

So Han Li took the other boys and followed Tong Shaoxin to the sports school to get tables and chairs. Some girls went to help the Han sisters cook, and some cleaned the tent after lighting the stove.

After a long time, the tricycle that Tong Shaoxin rode appeared in Mianhua Hutong again. Eight desks and several benches were stacked high on the tricycle, and the remaining benches that could not be put down were carried back on the shoulders of others.

Qi Zhaodi waved a small iron shovel in the yard, stirring the cabbage, frozen tofu, vermicelli and meat stew in the big iron pot. After stirring for a while, she saw that the cabbage had almost released enough water, so she asked others to carry the steamer with steamed buns and put it on.

Han Li smelled the fragrance of stew as soon as he walked to the door of his house. Everyone was hungry after working all morning. Now they smelled the fragrance and unloaded the car and put the table together much faster.

Because there were four coal stoves in the tent, it was not warm, but it was definitely better than on the street.

After everything was done, Han Li asked everyone to wash their hands and eat, and the girls took their bowls to eat inside.

Han Li took the men to eat in the tent outside with bowls and steamed buns.

Li Guanghui spoke unclearly while eating some hot dishes.

"Brother Han, this big pot of food is really delicious."

Zhang Hailin: "This is made by Brother Han's godsister, how can it be bad? She is the only female apprentice accepted by Master Wang of Fengze Garden."

"Master Wang's apprentice? When you go to Fengze Garden, let alone the dishes made by Master Wang himself, it's hard to get an appointment with the dishes of his apprentices who have already graduated."

"So Brother Han will have a good time in the future. I must come here more often to eat."

"We are the same."

Han Li heard them say this and thought that it would be strange if the food was not delicious. In addition to Qi Zhaodi's current cooking skills, one of the reasons was that they worked all morning and drank a cup of tea. Their stomachs had already started to protest.

The other thing was that Han Li just asked Qi Zhaodi to put as much meat as possible into the pot. The more meat, the more oil and water stewed the tofu and cabbage. If there was not so much meat, even if two pounds of MSG were added, it would not be so delicious.

But this is all Qi Zhaodi's future opportunity, Han Li has to help her seize it, put down his chopsticks and said to them with a smile.

"Okay, everyone come when the time comes. Brother Tong has already started working and can come anytime. As for the rest of you before you start working, we will not receive you unless it is Sunday or a holiday."

"No way"

Everyone finished lunch with laughter and chat, and the girls were responsible for washing dishes.

They played cards in the tent for a while, and Han Li began to direct them to work, otherwise it would be unfair for them to help him.

What to do? Clean the distance from Han Li's door to the alley entrance.

Not only do they have to sweep the road, but they also have to scratch the dirty places on the wall.

The girls cleaned every place in the house carefully, and He Mi and the others even pulled out the washing machine to wash.

Where is Han Li? He went to the street to buy some wires, lamp sockets, and light bulbs, and pulled two electric lights from home into the tent.

In the evening, after get off work, Yu Daqiang and several of Han Li's childhood friends joined the cleaning with brooms.

Dinner was still a big pot of food, but this time Han Li quietly took out a 200-jin sea fish from the decomposition space and asked Qi Zhaodi to stew a big pot of fish meat with this fish, and also fried a few side dishes.

During the meal, each table had a big pot of fish meat and a few side dishes, and they ate and drank and then dispersed.

From this day on, Han Li's family was constantly visited every day. Zhang Hailin and his friends would come to stay for at least a while every day, and of course his junior brothers would also come.

Time passed day by day in a lively atmosphere, and soon it was January 10, the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.
