Chapter 564 Invite the Chef to Prepare the Banquet

After the waiter left, Yan Huaiwen patiently smoothed the notebook.

He thought of many things the moment he put pen to paper.

His thoughts finally turned into two clear lines of small characters:

My younger brother Tianyou and my son Xiangheng settled in Guanzhou and took the three exams the following year, and both passed.

My younger brother Tianyou ranked first, I am so happy!

Yan Huaiwen studied it for a long time, with a smile in his eyes.

He did not add more pens, waited for the ink to dry, and gently closed the notebook and returned it to its original position.

…

As soon as Yan Laoer entered the village, the people standing on the arrow tower saw him.

Shouting: "Yan Laoer is back! Village chief, Yan Laoer is back!"

Village chief Luo raised his eyes: "What are you shouting? Call me Yan Er Xiucai. I have told you so many times, why can't you remember it!"

"Yes, it's Yan Er Xiucai!" The man on the arrow tower waved excitedly: "Yan Er Xiucai!" He summoned his strength and shouted to Yan Laoer: "Did you really pass the exam to become a scholar? Like your brother, you can also become a scholar? Great, you Yan Lao... No, Yan Er Xiucai!"

"Yan Laoer is back! ? Where is he? Let me see..."

"It's Yan Er Xiucai, you can't call him wrong, his brother is Yan Da Xiucai, he is Yan Er Xiucai, Yan Lao Er's eldest nephew is Yan Xiao Xiucai... Bah, it's Yan Er Xiucai's eldest nephew..."

"Yan Er... that... Xiucai, are you back to the village to prepare a banquet? We were just talking about this, thinking of going to the city to discuss it with you later. Wow, there are three scholars in your family alone, and there is also Liang Xiucai. Now our Xiaoan Village has four scholars. It's only four! We have to make it lively. We should also hold a buffet for three days, one day for each of you, just right. "

"It's freezing outside, and we still have a buffet, what can we do? If you ask me, we should go to the city to hold it. It's good to go to that restaurant when Yan's shop opened last time. Let my eldest son go to make the reservation." Uncle Hu said with full energy: "Set it for three days. The money should be paid by our village. We should pay by our village. We will do this when there are children who have a bright future in the future! I don't know if the firecrackers are expensive. Let's check and listen. It would be best if we can set them off all the way to the city. If not... we can set off a few loud ones every time we walk a distance, so that everyone knows that our Xiao'an Village has three scholars this time, three! Yan Er is still the first, ah ha ha ha ha! Oh, but I'm so proud. Wherever the old man goes in the future, his face will be shiny and greasy!"

Several old men stood together and praised without stopping. More and more people gathered to listen to Yan Lao Er's letter.

As soon as the group reached the big rock in the center of the village, Yan Laoer was pulled down from the car by the villagers.

The villagers were so enthusiastic!

So enthusiastic that Yan Laoer didn't even have the chance to say that he brought a distinguished guest back to the village...

The King of England lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Yan Huaian squeezed in the crowd, noisy, everyone opened their mouths, and everyone was talking.

Yan Huaian only had one mouth, which was really not enough, so he had to use both hands.

He suppressed this head and raised that head.

He answered this side and had to respond to the other side.

Finally someone noticed his carriage.

"Yan Er, did you invite a chef to come back to prepare the banquet? The chef invited from Yongning City?" I don't know which talented person asked this question.

The villagers surrounding Yan Laoer were completely distracted.

"The chef invited by Yongning City? Tsk tsk! It has to be Yan Laoer, who is thoughtful, isn't it? How can we rest assured if all our villagers go to the city for a banquet without leaving someone to look after the house? Why not invite the chef back!"

"Then should we hold the banquet in the village? Don't eat outside, it's freezing. Just go to the one that Uncle Song mentioned, and set up a few restaurants near Yan's house."

"Just negotiate with the military camp on the border and lend it to us. What's wrong with them? They are not regular border troops, but militia. Xiaoer said that they are our Huju people's regiment, and the soldiers of Huju people use the ice cover frozen in the molds in our village. We have a share, right? If you don't dare to go, I'll go and ask."

"Will it work if you go? Xiaoer should go. By the way, why didn't Xiaoer come back? Yan Er, where is your Xiaoer?"

"Xiaoer went to Huju." Yan Laoer finally got the chance to speak again. "Listen to me, everyone. We will definitely hold a scholar banquet. We won't go to the city, but in our village, so that everyone doesn't have to go back and forth in the cold weather. Well, let me introduce you to the chef I invited..."

The King of England came over at some point and took over with a smile: "I am the chef invited by Scholar Yan Er. Have you heard of Tianxianglou?"

The people of Xiaoan Village looked at each other, shook their heads in unison, and all went to see Yan Laoer, waiting for him to tell them what kind of restaurant Tianxianglou is.

"This Tianxianglou! It is a top-notch restaurant in Yongning City. Ordinary business people don't do it. When customers come, they have to pick and choose. They will nod their heads when they think everything is suitable. Ordinary people don't even know there is such a restaurant, let alone eat there." It was Eunuch Wang who said something smooth.

Yan Laoer opened his mouth, and the words in his mouth suddenly changed: "Yes! This is the chef I invited, his surname is..."

King Ying: "My surname is Shi."

"Chef Shi from Tianxianglou!" Yan Laoer smiled, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Chef Shi!"

Several village elders were full of light, and pushed Yan Laoer away who was in the way.

"Come in, come in, come in, what are the rules for your cooking? Chef Shi, don't worry, just tell us anything, we will do our best to do it." Village Chief Luo promised.

"These are all your apprentices, right? Wow! They look very energetic." Old Man Song greeted them enthusiastically: "Come in, everyone, come in and rest."

Even if he didn't say anything, these people had to follow.

The prince traveled in casual clothes, and only brought these few people with him, so they had to stay with him all the time.

…

The King of England, no, Chef Shi climbed up the arrow tower and looked down with great interest.

Pointing at various places, the village elders patiently explained.

Below is the Yan family, yes, his family grows mushrooms.

We can pick up some frozen wild animals in the mountains now, I wonder if you, Chef Shi, can find them.

There are fish in the river, if we can use them, we will go and catch them, all alive, we can find a way to keep them in water.

Those wandering cattle and sheep? They are from our village, while the sun is still good, take them out for a walk.

How many should we kill? This…

The village elders gritted their teeth and looked at each other.

They agreed without hesitation.

Yes!

We will kill as many as we need.

What is that place over there?

It is our militia.

The place is big enough, it is just right for us to borrow it for the banquet.

The ice cover is not cold, just put a few stoves inside to keep it warm. It's okay, you can use as much as you want, as long as you like, if your incense tower is not enough, just let us know and we'll send it to you...

Yan Laoer didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This King Ying was quite into his role, bargaining seriously with Village Chief Luo and the others, such as how many meat and vegetables, how many plates and bowls, how many people to put on the table, how many stove eyes to build...

Yan Laoer's eyes were almost blinded, and he gave the old men countless glances, but none of them understood.

On the contrary, he became more enthusiastic about this "Shi Chef".

It's... outrageous!

Zhai just came back, and the relatives on this side of the house came to ask about the situation after hearing the news, just like Yan Laoer was surrounded and talked...Zhai's voice was hoarse~~~It was a bit late to send people away, really, I originally planned to update 6K today, so I have to work harder tomorrow嘤嘤嘤(〃'▽'〃)
