Super Orchard

Chapter 255 Preparation
After asking about some steps, Shen Yangguang hung up the phone. Those who don't understand this kind of thing may find it complicated, but after sorting out the clues, it feels simple and clear.

In the whole process, the first thing is to choose a good day. In the past, the village was very particular about this date. It must be an auspicious day. In recent years, it has not been so particular. Generally, it is enough to see that the date of the lunar calendar is an even number.

When I was on the phone with my parents before, both parties looked at the calendar in the phone while talking, and decided on a date, which was the day after tomorrow.

According to what Father Shen meant, the date had to be pushed back a few days, because there must be insufficient preparations in just two days, and you must know that other people's beams were informed several days in advance.

But Shen Yangguang didn't think it mattered, because his parents and elders were all in Europe, and his relatives were all in distant places like provincial capitals. Because he hadn't seen each other for many years, Shen Yangguang didn't intend to invite these people.

In Jinquan Village, relatives and friends are usually invited during the beam-raising session, and these visitors will bring corresponding gift money. Shen Yangguang does not intend to ask for any gift money, but simply invites the big guys to have a meal to celebrate.

As for the people to invite, Shen Yangguang had already made up his mind. Apart from a few of his good friends, they were the employees in his orchard, and there were also some close neighbors.

After confirming the personnel, Shen Yangguang began to count the number of tables. This number shocked him a lot, because the company alone had more than 500 employees, which is not to mention the employees of the fruit shop outside and the director of the marketing department, etc. Plus other people, more than 50 tables are needed!
This number is already astonishing. In Jinquan Village, there are usually ten tables or eight tables for dinner, and no more than twenty tables at most. Shen Yangguang will set up more than 50 tables at once, which is really Jinquan Village. Biggest ever.

As for how to make fifty tables of meals in a timely manner, Shen Yangguang is not worried, because there is a person in the village who specializes in this business, named Yang Ling, who is about 50 years old. He is a country chef himself. Complete sets of tableware, kitchen utensils, tables, chairs, pergola, etc., as well as a relatively mature menu, whoever needs to ask him to cook, he will provide "one-stop" service.

Yang Ling's house is not far from Shen Yangguang's house, so he didn't drive, and walked to Yang Ling's house in a few minutes on two legs.

It was the afternoon, the hottest time of the day. Yang Ling was wearing big underpants and watching TV in the room with an electric fan blowing on him. Blow an electric fan into the house.

For Shen Yangguang, a famous person in the village, Yang Ling naturally knew him. Thinking that the other party's family was building a new house, Yang Ling guessed Shen Yangguang's intentions quite closely.

Shen Yangguang didn't sit down, and said directly: "Uncle Yang, my house is going to be erected the day after tomorrow. I would like to invite you to cook and entertain everyone. Do you have time?"

"There is time, there is time, but you will be in a hurry the day after tomorrow? Now that your parents are not at home, have all the people who should be notified been notified?"

"After discussing with my parents, I won't invite people who are far away. I just invite local people to have a meal and celebrate."

"That's good." Yang Ling nodded, turned around and picked up the menu on the table, and said, "See what you want."

This menu is full of home-cooked dishes, both meat and vegetables. Shen Yangguang ordered more than a dozen dishes in one go, including chicken, duck, fish, fruit, vegetable, desserts, etc. As for the prices of these dishes, they are much cheaper than Shen Yangguang imagined.

After ordering, Yang Ling wrote it down in a small notebook, and after confirming with Shen Yangguang that there was no problem, he asked again, "Do you need tables and chairs, too?"

"It is necessary, and tables and chairs alone are not enough. There must not be enough room for so many people in my yard, so we need a pergola for shade."

Yang Ling said relaxedly: "No problem, I have tables and chairs at home, and I also have a pergola at home. Let me make a count of how many tables you want."

"52 tables."

Yang Ling was taken aback for a moment, then confirmed again: "How many tables?"

"Table 52."

Hearing this number, Yang Ling was completely confused. He has been in this business for more than 20 years, and he has never heard of anyone having more than 50 tables for dinner. At most, he has only seen [-] tables. There are only [-] sets of tables, chairs and tableware, and kitchen utensils for cooking can only be used by [-] tables.

Yang Ling has basically experienced all the big and small things in and out of the village in this line of work, so he hasn't felt surprised for many years, and this is the first time he feels this way today.

Now Shen Yangguang is nearly 30 years old, but in the eyes of Yang Ling and other villagers, young people who are not married are considered children. Regarding the more than 50 tables mentioned by the child in front of him, Yang Ling is a little worried, worried that the child will go blind Nonsense, the food will be wasted by then.

Therefore, Yang Ling confirmed it several times and knew that Shen Yangguang was serious, so he stopped, and said while smoking a cigarette: "I can only provide twenty tables here, add all the spare tables, chairs and tableware Together, there will be one or two more tables at most, which is far from 52 tables."

When Shen Yangguang was a child, he went to the houses of relatives and friends in the village several times to experience these scenes. At that time, he only felt that the crowds were very lively, but he had never counted how many tables there were, so he had no idea about the scale of more than 50 tables. Only then did he know this. The scale is indeed too large.

Yang Ling thought for a while, and then said: "The Lao Ma's house in the neighboring village also makes a living. I will borrow tables, chairs, tableware and kitchen utensils later, and the Lao Niu's house in the next town also has them. I should borrow them to make up enough. No problem, as for the person in charge, I can find enough people, so there should be no problem with this matter."

Hearing this, Shen Yangguang was relieved. He didn't want to invite everyone to a meal, and the table was not even all together.

After the two discussed some details, Shen Yangguang left. Yang Ling quickly called to borrow tables, chairs, tableware, and staff. After gathering enough, he started calling again to order food.

Because there are more than 50 tables of people eating together this time, there are too many dishes and meat needed, and they must be ordered in advance. At the same time, it is officially summer, and the dishes will easily deteriorate if bought early.

All these cumbersome things were handed over to Yang Ling "one-stop". Shen Yangguang walked home swaggeringly and began to prepare. The first thing was to clean up the house, so that he could receive visitors.
