Early in the morning, before the sun rose, the servants of the Tong family got up, swept the courtyard and the avenue in front of the door, took out the tables and chairs from the warehouse, placed them in suitable places, and put up scaffolding and surrounding curtains.

The sun had just risen, and all three side doors of Tong's house were opened. There were about twenty servants standing at the door, all dressed in brand-new clothes, in a posture to welcome guests.

Not long after, there was the sound of firecrackers, a carriage came, and someone handed a note.

The doormen came in by roll call.

Guests began to arrive one after another, and they were all well-known people in Baishui City. It was not easy to get an invitation today. After all, the old lady didn't want to make a grand event at first, but the old lady also wanted to show off, so the old lady later compromised.

Old ladies are used to compromising with men in these seemingly important, but actually not critical, areas to satisfy their arrogance.

Firecrackers went off from time to time and almost didn't stop all morning. Guests' vehicles crowded the long street in front of the door. Horses, donkeys and cattle were parked aside, snorting uneasily due to lack of fodder and water.

The Tong family had people bring fodder and buckets of water. Suddenly, there was a lot of noise in the front yard.

The guests who were not very important at the beginning could be greeted by the chief steward. The guests who came later became more important, including the county magistrate Lu and the chief supervisor He Le.

Mr. Tong San and Lao Shi went to greet him personally.

The Eight Immortals table is set up, with eight guests of honor at each table.

At the head table were Magistrate Lu, Superintendent Yue, Cheng Wang, Zhubo Li, two elders of the Tong family, Mrs. Tong, and Mr. Tong San.

Originally, Yu Daddy placed it on the head table, but Yu Daddy said that it would be okay to sit at the second table. The second table would be occupied by several officials, plus the old Shi Xing Kettle.

The other tables have their own teapots made by Tongjia. There were more than 30 tables and more than 200 guests in total.

There were dozens of other women in the inner courtyard of the Yu family. Which of those women would not praise Yu?

People are talking about today's grand occasion. No wonder your young master is so promising. This is because you were born well, raised well, and taught well."

"There and there, this is all the work of the old lady and our master. What can I do? It's great for a woman to be able to take care of the whole family."

Mrs. Yu is humble in her mouth but guilty in her heart. This is not her fault.

The old lady originally said that she would leave this matter to her, but the old lady was keeping an eye on the situation. She thought at the beginning that there would be a table of about twenty people, so she was not too nervous. After all, family dinners were usually only seven or eight.

She also took care of the tables when they were waiting. Who knew there were already seventy tables today?

Fortunately, I called my niece home early, and the method she suggested was really good.

Having a banquet in the open air with flowers as a feast is indeed elegant and luxurious. Most importantly, it is much less troublesome than having it indoors.

Even if an extra table of customers comes temporarily, it doesn't matter, just find a place to add a table.

It’s just these dishes, four bowls, four dishes, eight plates and eight steamed dishes, most of which can be prepared in advance. Desserts, fruit, tea, etc. are put on the table early. Even if no food is served, at least people have a place to sit and something to fill their stomachs with.

Mouth, it won’t be boring.
