Chapter 161

There were ten tables for the lively celebration banquet, all of which were large round tables that could seat thirteen or fourteen people. The front yard of the Li family could not accommodate them at all, so they had to move to the backyard.

There were not so many rules in the village. Even if they were eating in the backyard, they would still be happy as long as the food and wine were good.

Li Enbai was afraid that Yunli and Zhang Jiu would be too tired, so he asked the Yunjian Inn in the town to close for a day. From the cooks to the waiters, and the specially trained room service servants were all called to help.

Yunli only needed to take Zhang Jiu to check the dishes and finally pay the money.

All the employees of the Yunjian Inn had been honed long ago, and they were able to formulate dishes and organize banquets easily, without any effort at all. Moreover, they also adapted to local conditions and did not serve those fancy and expensive dishes, but all followed the simple route of farmers.

For example, the chef who was good at local dishes cooked a pot of pork vermicelli stew, and added steamed Xuan soft and elastic buns, which was enough to make people salivate.

There was also a chef who was good at Sichuan cuisine. A spicy chicken dish was so fragrant and spicy that even if the tongue was numb and the lips were swollen, they would still stuff it into their mouths while slurping. There were

also sweet dishes that children liked, eight-treasure rice, etc., as well as braised fish, braised pork elbow, stewed chicken and other meat dishes

that made people indulge. With a pot of wine, it was delicious.

After the celebration, the life of the Li family returned to its former peace. Because he passed the imperial examination, many people in the town invited him to a banquet, but he refused them one by one. Those who

wanted to make friends with him but had no way to do so sent their own women and Yunli to make friends

with him. Yunli became the most popular husband in the entire Xinglong Town for a while. If she could talk to Mr. Li, it would be worth bragging about at home for a few days.

At first, Yunli was a little difficult to deal with, but after many times, she got used to it and could even refuse the invitation without changing her expression.

Li Enbai didn't care about him. If he wanted to go to the banquet, he could go. If he didn't want to go, he didn't have to go. As

long as Yunli was happy, it was fine. When Yunli was completely bored, he took Yunli out for a walk. In the past two years, they went to the Plum Garden. This year, they planned to go somewhere else. Yanbei Province is not small. In addition to the Plum Garden, there are many places worth seeing.

They have been to Shicheng and Weicheng, one in the south of Huaimu Village and the other in the east. There are also two more prosperous cities in the southeast and north.

They thought that the big city in the southeast should not be much different from Weicheng and Shicheng. It is better to go to the big city in the north first, maybe there will be different beautiful scenery.

So they waited until the third day of the New Year passed, and told their family members, and the four of them set off together to the big city in the north - Yancheng.

Because they were out for fun, they were not in a hurry on the road. From time to time, they would stay overnight in the villages or counties they passed by to taste the local specialties.
