Super Orchard

Chapter 256
Two days passed quickly, and today is the day when Shen Yangguang's new house was completed.

Yang Ling's place has already made preparations. As early as yesterday afternoon, he brought a few people to Shen Yangguang's house to start the arrangement. He lined up six huge stoves in the yard, with charcoal fire inside, and put some needs in advance. The stewed dishes were boiled for a while, and then the vents of the stove were sealed with yellow mud to ensure that the coal inside would not burn out prematurely, which could be used until noon the next day.

It's just that he also left a small hole in the yellow mud seal on each stove to provide weak oxygen to ensure that the fire inside will not go out.

As for the fifty tables and chairs, except for a few tables in the hall, most of them are placed in the open space on the west side. If the west side of Shen Yangguang's house is not very open, how to arrange these tables and chairs would be a problem. problem.

The sky above these tables and chairs is built with pergolas side by side, which can block the scorching sun, prevent the dust brought up by the wind from floating on the dining table, and also keep out the rain, but the weather is good these days, so there is no need Keep out the rain.

Early this morning, Yang Ling brought a few people to the yard again, brought a cart full of fresh vegetables and meat, removed the yellow mud from the stove and started cooking.

Since most of the people invited today are employees of the orchard, the employees are still working in the orchard at this time, and they will only come here at noon, so these empty tables and chairs make the scale of the banquet even more apparent.

It was almost noon, and more than 500 people arrived almost at the same time, crowding the inside and outside of Shen Yangguang's house.

As early as the day before yesterday, Shen Yangguang had already informed these people to come to his house for a banquet. Considering some local customs, Shen Yangguang also specifically asked them not to bring red envelopes, but simply came to have a meal.

It's just that when these people all came, many people still prepared red envelopes, especially the logistics department, as if they had negotiated, everyone brought red envelopes.

Seeing Shen Yangguang's repeated refusals, Niu Neng, head of the logistics department, said: "Who doesn't charge gift money for dinner after the completion of the new house? I used to work in construction, and I've never heard of anyone not accepting it."

Shen Yangguang casually pointed to the nearby crowd and said, "I told you in advance that no gift money is required. You can ask other people to see if anyone brings it? These 500 people don't need gift money, only your logistics department is good. right?"

Niu Neng was a little embarrassed when he heard it, and saw that the rest of the people did not bring any gift money, so he gave up.

Seeing that the auspicious time is approaching, Wei Liangping, the experienced village head called by Shen Yangguang to help, calculated the time for Shen Yangguang to start setting off firecrackers.

Wei Liangping has been the village head for more than 20 years. He is not only very familiar with every household in the village, but also knows all kinds of customs in the village. It is appropriate for Shen Yangguang to call him to preside over this matter.

Here in Jinquan Village, whether it is the New Year or other important events such as getting married, having children, going to school, building a house, etc., there will be celebrations, and firecrackers will be set off. Therefore, when the firecrackers sound, the whole village becomes lively.

Then there is another important step, which is "sprinkling peanuts".

When Shen Yangguang was a child, he also saw a few families go up to the beams, and what was scattered was indeed peanuts, with a few pieces of candy and a penny and five cents mixed in. Whenever this time, men, women and children from the whole village would come over." Grab peanuts".

The "peanuts" prepared by Shen Yangguang are similar to everyone else's, except that the mix inside has changed. There are only a small amount of peanuts, and most of them are dried fruits such as walnuts and more expensive branded candies. It is estimated that he will be reluctant, but it is nothing to Shen Yangguang.

In addition, Shen Yangguang also exchanged the penny and five cents inside into one yuan coins, five yuan and ten yuan notes, etc., and several hundred yuan bills. Where can I find pennies and five cents in this era?If other people usually change it into five cents or one yuan coins, but Shen Yangguang is not short of money!
As a good friend of Shen Yangguang, Zheng Hao took over this important task without hesitation, and climbed to the second floor with a big basket full of dried fruit and candy early on. When the firecrackers were lit downstairs, Zheng Hao received the signal , stood by the window in the building and sprinkled all the "peanuts" in the big frame.

The link of "Scattering Peanuts" and "Snatching Peanuts" is the most popular. Not only can you grab all kinds of delicious food, but you can also grab banknotes. Therefore, people have been watching Zheng Hao's every move by the window for a long time. As soon as he waved his hand, countless people swarmed up to fight for it.

In this session, not only invited guests can participate, but people from the village who come to watch the fun can participate. The more people, the better, so Shen Yangguang prepared a lot of "peanuts".

This session is usually attended by children the most. Adults don't like to eat snacks like children, and they don't care about fifty cents in change, so they basically watch with a smile.

But today's situation is obviously different. When several banknotes, especially the bright red hundred-dollar bills mixed with them, fell down together with the "peanuts", the adults standing next to them couldn't hold back any longer. People have joined the children's battle group.

It's just that the children had already occupied a favorable position, and the adults found out relatively late, so only a few people grabbed the banknotes and walked away happily, while the rest of the banknotes and snacks were picked up by the children first.

The next thing is to start the banquet. Because there are too many people, Shen Yangguang is worried that the scene will be a little flustered, so he arranged for everyone to do things early. More than 500 people went all the way along the rows of tables and chairs. in Apple pie order.

Soon, Yang Ling, the chef, made his debut. He led several chefs and stood side by side in front of the six cauldrons in the yard. The spoons in his hands were flying, and he kept frying the hot dishes. come out.

The people who stood aside and were in charge of passing the dishes had already divided their respective areas, and after receiving the dishes, they quickly served them to the table for the guests to enjoy.

These dishes are all farm dishes, but Yang Ling and others have been chefs for decades, so the fried dishes are naturally good, no matter in taste or style, they are almost the same as those in restaurants, and the portions are more generous.

Of course, if you compare it with some star-rated hotels, it's incomparable. The farm food is delicious and affordable, but the dishes in those big hotels are simply made as works of art. Yang Ling doesn't have that kind of thought and doesn't have that time.

Besides, these folks obviously prefer these ordinary farm dishes. If they are served some high-end dishes that look like works of art, they probably won't want to eat them.
