Early in the morning, Cheng Yaojin came to Yuan'an Restaurant again, and he was a little anxious. Tomorrow will be Luo Shixin's great joy. If the wedding banquet is not implemented, it may be a big mistake. (You will be here after reading the novel.)

As soon as he entered the restaurant gate, the shopkeeper came up with a smile, "Mr. Jun, what a coincidence! My boss came back last night."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned, "Do you know I am a soldier?"

He was wearing a purple and red robe, a green grasshopper scarf, and dressed in a businessman. He didn't look like a soldier. He looked at the shopkeeper in confusion.

The shopkeeper made a haha, "June is so majestic and majestic, how could he guess? Besides, June is usually here to have dinner, don't you often say that you have fought with Li Xuanba. Your axe was bent by Li Xuanba's sledgehammer, and in the end your war horse was gone, but Li Xuanba was beaten to internal injuries by you with a stick? Isn't this what June is?"

Cheng Yaojin smiled proudly, "That's right, take me to see your boss!"

"Mr. Jun, please come with me."

The shopkeeper took Cheng Yaojin to the fifth floor and pushed the door into a room, "June, please come in!"

Cheng Yaojin's heart was so nervous that he was pounding. He walked into the room and saw Pei You standing in front of the window. Pei You was wearing a golden brocade floor-moving dress with flower and bird patterns, combed with a high bun, and a jewel on his head, which was very different from the last time he saw her in Qinghe County.

Last time I saw her waist as thick as a bucket, but when she dressed up, her flesh was plump and delicate; last time I saw her with her hands on her hips and her eyebrows were upright, like a mother yaksha’s rebirth, and when she dressed up, she was quiet and dignified, with her eyebrows clever and beautiful, and her eyebrows were merging, like Guanyin’s rebirth.

Cheng Yaojin felt his mouth dry and tongue-tied, unable to speak, and stood at the door and grinned silly. When Pei You turned around, the coldness in his eyes disappeared, and he immediately smiled brightly and bowed to him, "Last time I was rude to Master Cheng in Qinghe County. Please don't mind the little girl."

Cheng Yaojin scratched the back of his head and giggled: "That's because he doesn't know each other without fighting. How could I have a scheming with Youniang?"

Pei You was extremely disgusted with others calling her Youniang. But seeing that Cheng Yaojin had a big business to negotiate, she did not turn against her face. She smiled faintly and waved her hand and said, "Please sit down, Master Cheng!"

Cheng Yaojin sat down, and Pei You sat opposite him through a table, but the shopkeeper also sat down next to him. [*You] Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes. Why is this person so uninteresting? He coughed dryly, "The shopkeeper is very busy!"

"Haha! It's not too busy, it's still early, and the guests haven't arrived!"

The shopkeeper spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and prepared to record the business they discussed.

Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to curse in his heart and bowed, "That's right, a friend of mine is going to get married and entrust me to hold a wedding banquet. I decided to order a hundred banquets for you."

After saying that, Cheng Yaojin was proud and wanted to see Pei You's reaction. Pei You heard that it was a hundred banquets, and his willow leaves-like eyebrows suddenly flew, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"Is Mr. Cheng planning to book a small shop?"

"No! No, I'm holding a seat at a friend's house. I'd like to ask you to bring the tables and chairs over and bring the wine and food over."

"No problem, we can prepare. I wonder when the banquet is needed?"

"This... will be at noon tomorrow."

"tomorrow!"

Pei You exclaimed, and she and the shopkeeper looked at each other. How could it be possible? It was too late to prepare a hundred banquets a day, but it was too late to buy ingredients.

"Why didn't Mr. Cheng say it a few days earlier?"

Pei You complained a little: "I was not here last time, can you tell the shopkeeper! How could it be too late to call me now? Alas!"

Pei You sighed, "Master Cheng, I'm sorry, we can't take over this business."

"No! No! No!"

Cheng Yaojin was anxious and waved his hand in a hurry, "Don't refuse. We can negotiate. The price is easy to negotiate. You just think it's helpful to me."

Pei You's eyes turned around. Since the price was easy to talk about, we could talk about it again. She smiled, "If it's very urgent, I can only spend a high price to buy meat, fruits and vegetables, and I have to go outside to hire a chef. I also have to buy people outside, and I have to borrow tables and chairs, so the price is a bit high, so I can't accept it. (You can read the novel.)"

Anyway, he spent Luo Shixin's money, so Cheng Yaojin didn't feel sorry for him at all. As long as he could please Pei You, he wouldn't care no matter how much money he spent.

"Money is not a problem, as long as the banquet can be held on time at noon tomorrow."

"Okay! I told Mr. Cheng that a good wedding banquet is usually 80 yuan per table, but Mr. Cheng has to be too anxious. We can only spend a high price to buy ingredients and hire people. So, it is OK to have 80 yuan per table?

"No problem, 80 hangs are 80 hangs!"

Seeing that he promised so readily, Pei You immediately changed his mind, "But the eighty hangs don't include wine. Now there is no rice wine, so he can only prepare a bunch of pomelo wine. Each table requires an additional ten hang money, as well as manpower, table, couch, bowls, and chopsticks, and transportation of wine and vegetables. There are always some tips and rewards, and all the calculations are taken..."

Cheng Yaojin heard it and waved his hand impatiently, "Tell me! How much does it cost to have a table?"

Pei You narrowed his eyes and smiled sly, "Okay! For the sake of your brother-in-law, I will just pay a table for one hundred."

The shopkeeper next to him almost fell down in fear. The best banquet was only thirty years old. When it comes to this military master, the price has increased by more than three times. It’s such a sucker!

But they didn't know that Cheng Yaojin was generous with other people's money. If he paid for it himself, it would be expensive.

Cheng Yaojin took out the fifty taels of silver cake from his arms, slapped it hard on the table, making a loud noise, "That's it, this is fifty taels of silver, take it first!"

Pei Youmei smiled and said, "I have taken the deposit, of course I have to send a receipt, so let's do it! We sign a contract, which will restrict us from refusing to regret it, so as not to miss the marriage."

...........

Cheng Yaojin left, Pei You gently blew the ink traces on the contract, his face full of pride, and the shopkeeper next to him said carefully: "Master, this military master seems to have some illness here."

The shopkeeper pointed to his head, and Pei You sneered disdainfully: "He is a little sick, and I was a slut when I was beaten up last time."

"But tomorrow, there will be one hundred tables! We really can't have time."

"Hmph! Whoever said we were asked to do it? If you go to find a few restaurants, you can put on a table of good banquets, put them together and put them together a hundred tables."

The shopkeeper's eyes rolled, "The boss actually doesn't need to hang thirty hangs. As long as there are too many seats, you can also talk about the price. Twenty-five hangs are enough."

Pei You shook his head, "If you pay 25 yuan, you will definitely be a little worse. This is not good. Just calculate it at 30 yuan to make them make a little more portion, taste better, and the wine must be aged. This is our brand."

"I understand, I'll go find someone now."

...........

Generally, people have to eat for weddings and weddings for three days and three nights, but the imperial court advocated frugality during this period, so the three-day banquet was changed to one day, starting at noon and ending at night.

The Luo Mansion was already decorated with lights and the red character "囍" was hanging, and it was full of joy. As soon as the sky was dawn, the winery brought a hundred sets of tables and couches, and the halls were built in and out, inside and outside the courtyard, and the shed was filled with tables and couches.

Wedding banquets are combined with wine and food on the table, with single seats placed on the table. The lacquer plate on the table is filled with various fruits and snacks, honey pine nuts, and guests sit with the table. There is no rule. However, the combined table system of Sui and Tang dynasties is for men and women to sit opposite each other, men sit on one side and women sit on the other side.

But no one sat in a luxurious shed in the upper head. It was the seat of the King of Chu and the Princess. There were special people guarding it and no one was allowed to enter.

Early in the morning, guests arrived in a constant stream, including generals riding horses, wives of generals sitting in horse-drawn carriages or ox carriages, and Luo Shixin's guests were mainly military-oriented. The military and political divisions of the Sui Dynasty were clearly divided, and there were two completely different systems. The military did not interfere in politics, and the government did not control the military. In addition to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War was a bridge between military and political affairs.

In front of the gate, Luo's father was wearing a red auspicious robe, a veil hat, and a blushing face. Aside, Niu Jinda and Jia Runfu also served as the host of welcome guests. The gifts were usually sent in advance, and this place was just a welcome.

"Congratulations to uncle for marrying a good wife, Shi Xin's wedding in the bridal chamber, and uncle has a grandson soon!"

The guests said compliments, and Luo's father smiled and couldn't close his mouth, "Hehe! We are happy and happy, please come to the mansion."

"I am not neglecting today, please forgive me!"

A total of 1990 guests followed one after another. As noon approached, thousands of guests had arrived. The wine and food were served. The portion was sufficient and the taste was good. Everyone praised it. Luo's father also felt very proud and secretly praised Cheng Yaojin for his work.

At this time, a servant quietly stepped forward, pulled Luo's father's sleeve, and whispered to him with his ear. Luo's father frowned, explained a few words, and followed the servant into the mansion.

In a room, Cheng Yaojin sat aside with a sad face, while the shopkeeper of the restaurant was smiling and sat on the other side with the owner Pei You.

"Is there any problem with the wedding banquet?" Luo's father hurried into the house and asked.

Pei You didn't say anything when he drank tea. The shopkeeper stood up and bowed, and said with a smile: "Most of the wine and food have been served. My boss told me whether I can settle the account first? The shop is small and profitable, but I really can't afford it."

Luo's father nodded. This is normal. It is usually done after most of the meals are served. He had no objection and asked, "How much is the total cost?"

"There are a total of 10,000 yuan hangings. If you remove the fixed amount of 500 yuan hangings, the remaining 9,500 yuan hangings, and you can pay gold and silver."

"How many?"

Luo's father exclaimed, "He was too busy these days and had no time to ask about the price. He heard that he had to pay ten thousand yuan to hang money, which shocked him.

"Old man, one hundred hangs a table, a total of ten thousand hangs."

After staying for a while, Luo's father quickly pulled Cheng Yaojin aside and whispered anxiously: "Are you wrong? One hundred hangs a seat, and the Sanjin diners only have thirty-five hangs a seat."

Luo's father had talked with the Sanjin diner in advance and knew the market. He heard that he would cost 100 yuan per table, so he was a little anxious.
