Chapter 988 Bridal Chamber

Sijiucheng currently has no restrictions on the number of hot dishes, four, six, or eight are all fine.

Some people say that if there are four, six, or eight hot dishes, combined with nine cold dishes, wouldn’t that be an odd number?

At this time, the meatballs that were cooked two days ago come in handy. Finally, a meatball soup is served to the relatives. The dishes become an even number and it can also tell them that the banquet is about to end.

However, the order of serving dishes cannot be so rough and simple, and the relatives must be given enough time to drink.

Generally, after the cold dishes are served, two or one-third of the hot dishes will be served in succession and then stop.

This period of time is reserved for the relatives to drink, until the person in charge next to them sees that the relatives have drunk to a certain extent, then the kitchen will continue to serve the hot dishes.

At this time, after the hot dishes are served, the people accompanying the wine at other tables will understand that this is to initiate a total, and they will start to persuade them to drink.

Some wedding banquet managers will even let those who accompany the drinking adopt the strategy of hurting the enemy by 800 and hurting themselves by 1,000. You can't change people immediately after drinking. In short, you must let the relatives drink well and get a few drunk, otherwise the man's enthusiasm will not be reflected.

However, these have nothing to do with Han Li. He only needs to follow his father to symbolically toast the relatives.

Han Li moved a bench and sat in the sun with a group of people, chatting while basking in the sun. As for those who stayed up late with him last night, they were now taking a nap in the tent where they put things.

Han's father and mother were handing over the accounts with Teacher Zhang Yubo who helped to keep the accounts. They were stunned when they saw the final accumulated amount of money in the account book.

You should know that Han's father and mother invested a lot in their son's wedding. Not to mention the bride's accompanying, the scale of the dishes in their own banquet is definitely the cap in the area of ​​​​Mianhua Hutong.

Although it cost a lot, they were happy in their hearts. Their only son, the most promising son, would only have this one wedding banquet in his life. If not now, when would they spend money?

But what Han's father and mother did not expect was that their son actually made money from his marriage, and the money they made was more than twice the money they spent.

So, why not have more weddings for their son? Isn't it faster than buying a house and collecting rent to make money?

——

These things at the wedding banquet are short to say, but they take a long time to experience. The banquet started at about 11 o'clock in the morning, and it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon when the Yun family thanked the chef.

Because before the in-laws left, all the people on the man's side had not eaten, and according to the rules, they would not arrange meals. By this time, everyone had been starving.

So as soon as the Yun family left, several managers loudly asked those who came to help to move.

The chefs also started to get busy and put in a lot of effort. This was the last meal they made at the wedding banquet of this host.

In addition, they also need to prepare a table of cold dishes and put them aside. These dishes are for the young people who will make trouble in the bridal chamber at night.

After the tables in the wedding tent were cleaned up, the manager asked people to put all the eight-immortal tables in a row. After they were arranged, they asked everyone to put the dishes on them.

The dishes were arranged in a long snake formation, and there were no rules. A table could only hold four or five plates at most, and it all depended on luck which dish was served.

After the dishes were put on, the wine was served, but there were no wine utensils for drinking at this time. The table was filled with large bowls. Because of time constraints, the emphasis now was on a quick battle and no chance to drink slowly.

After everyone gathered around the table, Han Li took Yun Yingying and followed his father and mother to toast everyone at each table to express his gratitude.

After Han Li's family finished toasting, the people present pressed the fast forward button. Those who could drink and those who were greedy for wine picked up their bowls and drank two bowls. Those who couldn't drink picked up their chopsticks and began to sweep the dishes on the table. Finally, they took a bowl to scoop up a bowl of stewed vegetables and ate two steamed buns.

I have to say here that according to the current customs of Sijiu City, in order to thank the neighbors and those who came to help, the quality of the last pot of dishes was quite high, even better than the quality of the pot eaten by the in-laws.

After everyone had enough wine and food, the area near Han Li's house became a battlefield.

Han's mother took the Han sisters, He Mi, Ding Yulan and several neighborhood aunts to divide the leftovers. These divided leftovers will be sent together when the tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans borrowed from the neighbors are returned.

Cook Liang was checking the accounts with the manager. His men were divided into two groups with ease. One group dismantled the wedding tent, and the other group loaded their own eating utensils on the cart.

Han Li's friends were not idle either. They also divided into several groups and started to clean the rooms of the Han sisters. After cleaning, they could put the original things back.

Some put the tables and chairs that Tong Shaoxin brought from the sports school together and helped him return to the sports school later.

Some began to put the tables, chairs and benches from neighbors together according to the marks on them, and they would start as soon as Han's mother said they would send them after the dishes were distributed.

Han Li and Yun Yingying were also not idle. They started to sort out the dowry sent by the Yun family in another tent. The bedding, electric fans, washing machines and so on were kept as they were, but the TV and tape recorder were taken out of the box by everyone to watch and listen to them in the past two days.

And the camera was a meritorious official. It consumed three rolls of film at Han Li's wedding in the past two days. Those rolls have been sent to the photo studio, and the photos can be taken back in three days.

After everyone had their own division of labor and worked in an orderly manner, the courtyard and the streets outside the Han family had basically returned to their original state.

Those who were supposed to help had all left, and only Yu Daqiang, Zhang Hailin and other young people who were waiting to make trouble in the bridal chamber had not left.

At this time, Han's mother asked Han Li to move all of Yun Yingying's dowry to their new house in Houhaizi, and to pack them up quickly, because the Quanfu people she asked to help make the bed would be coming over later.

However, Yun Yingying did not agree to all of this, and she must leave the TV at home for Han's father and mother to watch.

Because of this, Han Li had already talked to Yun Yingying about it when they were packing in the afternoon. They still had to go to school after getting married, and the tape recorder was still helpful for them to learn foreign languages, so they could carry it with them.

But the TV was basically useless, and they didn't have much time to watch it, and it would be a waste if it was broken when they moved it back and forth between home and school.

The two of them were only at home on Sundays and holidays. Instead of letting the TV sit there and collect dust, it would be better to leave it for their parents to entertain them, which would also show that they were filial.

The reason why Han Li asked Yun Yingying to say this was for the sake of family harmony.

Although Han's mother was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's behavior, she still disagreed to leave the TV. When the two of them were pushing and shoving, Han Li made the final decision and left the TV.

Later, a group of people drove several cars, loaded with bedding sent by the Yun family, all the large dowries except the TV, and the wine and food specially reserved by the kitchen for their wedding night, and sent them to Han Li's new house in the courtyard of Houhaizi.

However, after Han Li and Yun Yingying sent the things over, they left those who were waiting to make trouble in the wedding night, and the two of them returned to Mianhua Hutong.

When they went to Houhaizi again, Han's mother and two Quanfu aunts and sisters-in-law who helped make the bed were added to the car.
