Chapter 743 Return to Nature (3)

Two days later, the banquet was held as scheduled.

In a relatively large hotel like this, at least three or more banquets are held on the same day.

However, happy events such as wedding banquets and birthday banquets are usually staggered with funeral banquets.

Luo Xi's half-year birthday party was held on the second floor. There was a newlywed couple upstairs, and an old couple's golden wedding was on the fourth floor.

Specific information is written on a red sign at the hotel entrance, so guests can know which floor to go to at a glance.

And Luo Quan was sitting at the entrance of the banquet hall on the second floor, taking notes for all the guests who came, and then making smoke and candy.

Generally, this kind of thing is left to adults. After all, adults can recognize relatives properly, and they are more careful and less likely to make mistakes.

But my mother has to take care of my sister, my grandparents have to greet the guests, and there is no one else at home, so she can only do it.

Fortunately, there was Wen Xia next to him, so he wouldn't be in a hurry.

As for those relatives, Luo Quan didn't remember many of them.

But as long as they have met each other, there will be more or less some impressions left.

In addition, my mother is watching from the side, so that relatives will not be unable to shout when they come.

We had dinner at twelve o'clock, and at ten o'clock relatives arrived one after another.

The people who came to the banquet this time were basically their families, ranging from four or five people to seven or eight people.

Luo Quan here is really glad that he booked fifty-five tables, otherwise it might not be enough.

"Oh, this is Luo Quan, it's so hot in the blink of an eye."

Luo Quan was lowering her head to write the guests' names and gifts when a slightly sharp voice sounded in front of her.

He raised his head and saw his second aunt whom he had not seen for several years.

He is a relative on my grandma's side. I have invited him to my home many times before, and the relationship is quite good.

"Second aunt, you are here." Luo Quan grinned brightly and stood up to greet her.

"Not many young people nowadays can remember us old guys." The second aunt praised Luo Quan happily.

Today's young people are all afraid of each other. When they meet relatives who they don't meet very often, they are like idiots. They often say nothing and look very rude.

In fact, it's not that they don't want to call someone, the main reason is that they really can't remember what to call them.

Fortunately, Luo Quan has a pretty good memory and has not missed anything so far.

After welcoming the second aunt, a group of young people followed behind. Sister Luoquan came up and shouted, "Sister Luoquan."

Everyone is holding their mobile phones, but they are not taking pictures with her. After all, who among the young people nowadays never leaves their mobile phones?

Luo Quan had met these brothers and sisters several times before when visiting relatives, and they were not very familiar with them.

But after shouting so enthusiastically, Luo Quan also greeted them with a smile, and each of them gave her a large amount of her favorite White Rabbit toffee and Alps.

This is standard here in Yuzhou. In addition to this, every family also has a box of rice dumplings worth 888.

This was a discount given to her by the manager yesterday, with more than a hundred boxes in total. She couldn't finish eating the rice dumplings until Luo Xi turned one year old, so she might as well just give them to her relatives as a favor.

So far, the relatives who have come here belong to ordinary families, and the gifts given are about three to four hundred.

But there are ordinary people, and naturally there are also extremely wealthy people.

At eleven o'clock, a young man wearing brand-name clothes led a family up the stairs and presented them with a big red envelope worth 100,000 yuan.

The young man looks only 18 years old, but he has already become an anchor with a selfie stick.

Judging from the tone of his voice, it seems that he is doing the live broadcast on Kuaishou.

If you want to talk about where there are the most people having fun, it’s definitely Kuaishou.

She has watched quite a few videos stolen from Kuaishou on Station B. They are earthy, and they are both funny and really funny.

In the past, Bilibili users often ridiculed Douyin and Kuaishou, thinking that users on these platforms were inferior and plagiarized.

But since Hou Lang’s video, this argument has basically disappeared.

Everyone just wants to have fun, but the platforms are different, so there is no distinction between high and low.

"Sister Luo Quan, do you have time to say hello to the fans in my live broadcast room?" The boy asked Luo Quan politely after giving the gift. The camera was still facing him.

"No problem." After Luo Quan recorded it, he asked the boy to point the camera at him.

"Hello everyone." Luo Quan smiled and waved, and all the comments in the live broadcast room were:

Damn it! It’s really Luoquan,

The anchor is awesome, he is actually a relative of Luo Quan,

Awesome, who is hosting the banquet today?

………………

The boy didn't take up much of Luo Quan's time. He just said hello when he said hello.

After sitting all morning, the banquet started on time at twelve o'clock, and steaming hot dishes were brought out from the back kitchen by a handsome waiter in a cheongsam.

Drinks were exchanged, bowls and chopsticks were touched lightly, and everyone started to eat with a smile.

Grandpa, grandma and mother were already holding their sister on the stage to thank relatives and friends, while Luo Quan stretched his neck and looked downstairs.

"There shouldn't be any relatives who haven't arrived, right?" Luo Quan said to himself.

As he said that, he lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.

Although there was no one left, she couldn't leave now.

If relatives arrive later and no one greets them, it would be extremely rude.

As the host, you must wait until all the guests have finished eating before starting the meal.

I don’t know if it’s because of the younger brother who started the live broadcast just now, but “Luoquan Banquet” has become a hot search on Weibo.

"No wonder there haven't been live broadcasts in the past few days. It turned out to be a banquet."

"I think there are at least fifty tables on this scale. With the decoration and the dishes, I am afraid that the total for lunch and dinner will cost one million!"

"It's outrageous. One event in our hometown only costs less than 100,000 yuan."

"This is a five-star hotel. It's not on the same level as a rural restaurant."

"By the way, who is this for?"

"Luo Quan's sister Luo Xi is half a year old."

"It's such a grand ceremony when you're half a year old, but you can't hold a hundred tables when you're a full year old?"

"The family is rich and it's not illegal, so there's nothing wrong with it."

"really."

………………

In the Weibo comment area, you can hear that some people are still a little bit sour.

As for the news related to station B, one-third said they wanted to come to have a feast and join in the fun, one-third wanted to see their sister, and the other third urged her to quickly arrange a farmhouse for everyone.

The so-called farmhouse is not actually farmhouse in the conventional sense, but a happy time in the countryside.

Didn't I say that I would shoot a farming video for everyone? Now everyone has returned to their hometown in Yuzhou, although everyone also wants to see how Luo Quan reclaims wasteland as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, I'll go into the mountains tomorrow, and I'll finish this party first today." Luo Quan quickly replied in the comment area, and then synced it to the news.

It won't be long before the fans who have been paying attention to her will put her in the front row.

"Okay, we can finally watch Luo Quan dig the soil."

"Speaking of which, when you do farm work, will you wear ancient clothes or modern clothes?"

"The long flowing clothes of the ancients were not clothes for farm work. Ancient farmers actually wore shorts and short sleeves."

"It's so hot in Yuzhou now, what are you going to plant?"

"Watermelon, it's easy to grow and delicious."

"Good idea, but I want to see Luo Quan grow some difficult crops."

"Then tomatoes."

"Haha, then the technical content is too high. Many old farmers can't grow it well."

"That doesn't mean our Luo Quan is highly skilled."

"Looking forward to it..."

………………

Fans talk to each other, mainly with ridicule.

As for Luo Quan herself, she really didn't know what to plant.

You can make a decision only after you get your hometown and look at the environment.

But before going, she needed to prepare all the equipment for sleeping outdoors in Feng Dian.

Grandpa said that the old house had collapsed and there would be no place to live if we just went there.

There may be no shortage of water, but gas and food need to be prepared in advance, otherwise you will have to come out in despair as soon as you enter the mountain.

She has already bought everything, but how to bring it in.

Considering that the mountain road is difficult to walk, it is probably not easy for motor vehicles to travel.

The capacity of the bicycle is slightly smaller, so it seems that the tricycle should be the best choice, and no driver's license is required.

Just as I was thinking about it, my mother came out with my sister in her arms: "Let's go in and eat. There should be no relatives coming."

Hearing this, Luo Quan and Wen Xia stretched out together and came to sit down at the wine table where the host's house was.

In addition to her grandparents, Wen Xia’s mother and her grandparents were also there.

The two families have lived together for more than ten years. Although they are not a family, their feelings have long been indistinguishable from each other, and they are closer than any relatives.

After seeing Luo Quan and Wen Xia coming over, the whole family quickly pulled up a chair and handed them chopsticks.

The most talked about topic at the banquet was naturally the lifelong event of Luo Quan and Wen Xia.

Girls are in their early twenties and do not need to worry about their studies or career, so the family can only work hard in this regard.

However, Luo Quan told his family a long time ago that he would not consider these things in the short term. As for how short this short period of time is, no one knows.

As for Wen Xia, she said she wanted to take another look and wait, but she hasn't met one that made her particularly excited yet.

She didn't intend to consider people in the entertainment industry, but she usually came into contact with people in this industry, so she was in a deadlock.

We can only wait until we are free later.

After hearing these two answers, the elderly in the family also sighed.

After raising their granddaughter, they all thought about raising their great-granddaughter.

Luo Ni and Wen Xia's mother, An Ran, also wanted to hold their granddaughter, but unfortunately, neither daughter planned to give their mother such an opportunity at the moment.

Every time I go back to my hometown, life-long events are the favorite topics of my family to talk about. This is unavoidable.

However, the two of them can always find the best way to deal with it, which is the "procrastination technique". You can procrastinate on anything, and a year will pass if you procrastinate.

With dragging and dragging, half a lifetime has passed.

Of course, the lives of the other two of them have just begun, and there are too many things waiting for them to do. It would be too feudal if it was just to carry on the family line.

Halfway through the meal, the uncles and uncles among the relatives who were good drinkers came over carrying wine bottles and glasses to propose a toast.

In this situation, it's time for grandpa to show off his skills.

I saw that he accepted everyone who came, and everyone filled their small glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

The more people drank, the more dizzy they became, but the more they drank, the more energetic they became. Everyone who came to offer a toast would leave with the words "Good drinker".

To be honest, Luo Quan was quite envious when he saw his grandfather's arrogance.

This is probably her only weakness. It is said that much of China's wine table culture is dregs, but the wine culture has a long history. It would be a good thing if she could write hundreds of poems about wine fights like Li Bai and leave a legend of arrogance and wantonness.

But now, she can only watch her grandpa show off his power.

"Come on, let's fill up too." Wen Xia filled up his and Luo Quan's bowls with soy milk, looking like he was going to stop filling up with Luo Quan.

"Eat vegetables. Can you feel full after drinking this?" Luo Quan said, but he still raised the cup, touched it with Wen Xia, and drank it all in one gulp.

The dishes prepared by the hotel this time are all big fish and meat.

There is also a dish she specially ordered called Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, which is said to have been made by a famous chef from Qingzhou, Guangdong Province.

As a contributor to this recipe, the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall she made is still a legend in the Chinese chef community.

Because no matter how later people tried to imitate and cook, and made all the details to the extreme, they could not see the golden light the moment they opened the lid of the pot.

The Buddha made by Luo Quan can jump over the wall. People analyze that the illusion is caused by the reflection of the heat and soup on the light. Normally, it can be seen every time.

However, only the Buddha Tiao Wall made by Luo Quan has that faint golden light, and according to diners who have eaten both kinds of Buddha Tiao Wall, the one made by Luo Quan is completely different from the one made by others.

After eating the food made by Luo Quan, eating anything else is simply tasteless and difficult to swallow.

It's a pity that Luo Quan said that cooking this dish is too labor-intensive, and he will never cook again. The original Buddha Jumps Over the Wall will probably become the last song for a long time.

However, although what she cooked was a delicacy, other chefs carefully prepared it according to this recipe, and the taste was also worthy of the title of the first Chinese dish, delicious and refreshing.

Luo Quan specially ordered a dish this time, just to let his relatives and friends also have a try.

There are too many abalones and lobsters, which is boring, but if they are not standard at all, it would be a little low.

The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall includes more than a dozen kinds of seafood in one pot, and the taste is in line with public preferences, so there is no problem in letting the hotel serve this dish directly.

I just don't know how good this chef is.

At the end of the evening banquet, Buddha Jumping Over the Wall was finally served to the table.

All the guests took their bowls and helped themselves to a spoonful of this very famous dish.

After taking a sip, they all showed happy smiles.

At this time, it doesn't really matter how different this dish is from what you cook yourself, as long as the guests like it.

After all, not everyone in the world can taste the so-called most delicious food in the world.

Ordinary delicious food is the majority.

After his sister's banquet was over, Luo Quan also rode a tricycle with a few workers into the mountains more than ten kilometers away.
