Chapter 45 Too Young

The He family members were relieved to hear Zhang Beiting's agreement.

The old man is already 70 years old. If the birthday banquet is not held well, the brothers and their families will blame themselves for the rest of their lives.

After Zhang Beiting agreed, it was a matter of details.

He said, "Uncle and aunt will have to arrange a few kitchen helpers by then."

"Don't worry about that," Miao Fenghua said, "I and Lei Lei's mother, as well as Xiao Hai's aunt, sister-in-law, and third aunt, will all work in the kitchen by then."

The village has always been like this when holding banquets. Except for one or two family members to entertain guests, the rest have to work.

The men have to borrow tables, benches and bowls, and the women wash and prepare vegetables in the kitchen, and then serve the dishes. If the family members are short of manpower, they will also ask other skilled people from the village to help.

Zhang Beiting nodded and asked, "How do you plan to arrange the dishes for the banquet?"

"We prepared ten dishes before, and Yuxinglou helped set a menu, including braised pork elbow, pork with sand, pork with preserved vegetables, stewed chicken, and roasted carp..." Miao Fenghua said the names of the ten dishes one by one, "After Yuxinglou didn't come, we decided to add two more dishes, one with beef or mutton, and one with pork."

For the birthday banquet a few days later, He Hai's uncle bought a piglet at the beginning of the year. Now it has become a big fat pig. There are only twelve tables for the birthday banquet, so even if half of the dishes are pork, it is enough.

Zhang Beiting pondered for a while. The dishes mentioned by Aunt He are probably the fixed ones in the village banquet. Yuxinglou often prepares banquets in the village, and the menu is probably selected according to the public's preferences, so he didn't plan to change it.

Anyway, he can cook these dishes.

"Add another boiled beef and pearl meatballs. The boiled beef is spicy and goes well with rice. It tastes a bit like the maocai sold in my restaurant. It is covered with red oil, so it won't get cold even if you eat it for a long time. The pearl meatballs are beautiful in appearance and suitable for all ages," Zhang Beiting asked, "What do you think?"

Miao Fenghua and He Qingsong looked at each other and said, "Your uncle and Xiaofeng will go to the village to collect vegetables tomorrow. You have to discuss the new dishes with Xiaofeng's uncles."

"But it shouldn't be a big problem." He Qingsong said.

There are only two or three days left. If you keep picking and choosing, there will be no food on the table.

He Hai said, "Remember to tell your uncle and others tomorrow how delicious the maocai in Zhangge's restaurant is."

When he heard that the boiled beef tasted similar to maocai, he absolutely agreed.

Looking at how popular maocai is in the south city, you can imagine the reaction of the villagers after eating boiled beef.

He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. This was Brother Zhang's unique secret recipe. Many restaurants in Yunyang City wanted to learn it but couldn't.

There were two cold dishes on the menu, one was fried peanuts and the other was smashed cucumbers.

The fried peanuts were probably for people who were drinking, so they couldn't be touched.

As for the smashed cucumbers.

From the He family's behavior of adding dishes to the original menu, it can be seen that they wanted to make the dishes better and surpass those who held banquets in the same village on the same day.
