I was the richest man in ancient times

Chapter 514
As soon as noon arrived, the dishes began to be served.

The villagers in Xinghua Village are very friendly. Except for the hungry child, they basically let the guests from the city sit first.

There is a dish at noon, which is longevity peach, which is made of flour.

The way to make buns is just to make the buns into the shape of a peach.

This is simple, not only Cheng Wen can learn it, but also the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village who come to help in the kitchen.

The red bean paste stuffing inside the birthday peach was made by Cheng Yue early in the morning.

Ten on a plate, one for each person.

When the birthday peaches are served, each person takes one and a special person will come to each table to collect the dishes.

The second course is pastries, small cakes, and cuboids, only one side is exposed, and the other sides are wrapped in oiled paper.

Cheng Yue asked Du Xifeng and Mrs. Xie to prepare it at Xinyue Dessert Shop and deliver it to each of them.

The cake has not been launched in the dessert shop yet, so none of the people here have eaten it, and they were all surprised after eating it.

Both adults and children love to eat it, and some children clamor for more after eating one.

The third way is fruit, which Cheng Wu personally traveled and brought back, apples.

It is not as good as modern apples, it has a slightly sour taste, somewhat like the wild fruit that Cheng Yue has eaten before.

After these three dishes were finished, the dishes were put away and the dishes were officially served.

Cheng Yue planned seventeen dishes, spicy chicken nuggets, steamed fish, sour radish and old duck soup, double-cooked pork with slag and sea pepper, stewed knuckles with seaweed, stewed meat platter, white meat with garlic paste...

Almost every table is full of food.

Fortunately, it was prepared yesterday, and the rice was steamed more.

The weather is a bit hot these days, many people in the city go home after eating, and they are never embarrassed to come for dinner.

There were indeed no more than 99 tables for the wine at noon, only [-] tables were seated.

Everyone in the village smiled and congratulated Cheng Shun, he is a long-lived little old man, wishing Cheng Shun's 99th birthday, they can still eat the wine made by Cheng Yue and Cheng Wen brothers and sisters!
Cheng Shun was very happy to hear that, who doesn't want to live a long life!
He's only passed half a hundred today, so of course he hopes to pass a hundred.

The noon wine was over, and many guests left one after another.

In the evening, only the Jiang family and the villagers had dinner.

Cheng Yue simply made thirteen dishes, and everyone ate happily.

After eating, I started to help clean up.

Xue Hanyu didn't go to bed so early tonight, and started to help count the gift money and gifts.

A total of 380 five households came, and received a total of 970, [-] cash as gifts, including tea, silk, cloth, golden birthday peaches, etc.

The expensive gifts were all from Ji Mingxuan, the Xie family, the Huang family, the Tao family, and the He family who was not close to the Cheng family.

Judging from the account book, this He family is a landlord's family in Guihua Village next door. It is said that when Cheng Shun was the young master of the landlord's family, their family was just an ordinary farmer. Cheng Shun is three years older.

For these five companies, they not only sent gifts, but also each sent 200 taels of silver notes.

That is to say, apart from these wealthy households, the rest are only a few taels of 170, which is considered too much.

If the villagers knew about this, they would be able to talk about it for many years!

Cheng Shun doesn't care so much about money now, let Cheng Yue take care of everything, let Gu Xuelan remember all the gifts from each family, and follow this when returning gifts in the future.

Cheng Shun asked Cheng Yue to take out a sum of money and give red envelopes to the children.
