Chapter 388 Preparation
Jiang Yang sat in the car and sped past.

Chen Cuyi was driving beside him, and behind him sat Mr. Chen and two senior chefs.

Tomorrow is the day of the Ning family's old man's birthday banquet, and Jiang Yang and the others are rushing to the place where the Ning family's old man's birthday banquet is held now.

Like many people, the elderly hope that the fallen leaves will return to their roots, so this birthday will be held in their hometown.

This hometown is where the old man of the Ning family lived when he was a child. His sons have never lived here.It's just that I come back for a day or two during the Chinese New Year occasionally.

Mr. Ning's hometown is relatively remote.The old man stubbornly wanted to hold a banquet in his hometown, but no one said it was useless.

It's just that it's hard for Jiang Yang and the others, and they have to go there the first day to prepare.

Get off the highway and follow the car in front.It was the vehicle sent by the Ning family to pick them up. After all, the place is remote and the navigation is prone to errors.

After another hour of driving, the road gradually became bumpy.

Jiang Yang sat in the car, as if on a trampoline, bouncing up and down.

"This section of road is really bad." Jiang Yang said.

Chen Cuyi smiled and said: "What is this, you have never been on a worse road. A few years ago, I went out with my parents to play, and walked on a bad road, and the car got stuck there as soon as it entered. Later, I asked someone to get the car out."

"The car gets stuck as soon as it goes?" Jiang Yang was a little unbelievable. Can the road that can get the car stuck be called a road?

"Believe it or not, we later learned that other people's cars don't go that way at all, they just take a detour and take another way. All the people who drive on that road are motorcycles, or walk." Chen Chu Yi smiled.

"That's really bad." Jiang Yang replied.

"No, it's our fault that we didn't understand beforehand, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." Chen Cuyi said.

The two opened the topic and chatted slowly.From road to car, from car to car accident.The two chattered here and there, far away.

Chatting along the way, finally bumped to the place.

They started at seven in the morning and it's now 11:30 noon, and it took four and a half hours.

When Jiang Yang got out of the car, he felt that the air was very fresh.

Maybe it's because I've been in the car for a long time.

Take two deep breaths of fresh air to dispel the discomfort of motion sickness in your head.

The hometown of Mr. Ning's family is in the mountains, but it's not too remote.

After all, in some mountainous areas, let alone roads, there are few roads for people to walk.

In Mr. Ning's hometown, the road was built a few years ago.

The scenery in the mountains is very good, at a glance, it is lush.

The air is also extraordinarily fresh, as if thrown into the embrace of nature.

The Ning family's house occupies a wide area.

This house is not a villa building, but a bungalow.Similar to the design of a garden, Jiang Yang felt that it looked like an ancient house.

There are two stone lions in front of the red gate.

Walking in, you will see pavilions and waterside pavilions.The rockery is erected in a patchwork manner, and the flowers, plants and trees have been trimmed in an ingenious way.

An artificial river passes slowly and flows into a lotus pond in the middle.

In the lotus pond, there are a few koi swimming slowly, as if they are not interested in the arrival of the guests.

Beside the lotus pond, there is a pavilion in which an old man is sitting, playing chess with a middle-aged man.

Go to the right, through a half-moon arch, and you will come to an empty place.

The place is very large, and there are temporary stoves and other things beside it.

Jiang Yang understood that this was probably the place where the banquet was held.

Can't help feeling, it's nice to have money!Such a big place, so beautifully built.The design, labor, materials, and freight are all a lot of money.

Although Jiang Yang was emotional from the bottom of his heart, he was not envious.Such a big place, no matter how beautiful it is, one person can only live in such a big place.

No one prepares lunch.

But a group of chefs, and there are ingredients, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat without food?

In fact, many members of the Ning family are waiting, waiting for them to cook.

The Ning family has a private chef, but they always eat the dishes made by the private chef, and they are a little tired.It just so happens that the team of chefs invited here today, we must try their craft.

After Jiang Yang and others learned of this situation, they didn't say anything, and they processed the ingredients and started cooking.

It's not a banquet, if you just stir-fry two special dishes, the speed is actually very fast.

In about an hour, several tables of dishes were ready.

The reason why it is so fast is because there are many chefs.

Although it was done quickly, there were not many dishes.

Someone moved the tables down, and six tables were placed in the open space.

After Jiang Yang and the others were ready, the dishes filled six tables.

Don't look too much, maybe you can't finish sitting.

The whole family of the Ning family came back. Mr. Ning's son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, and grandson, plus some relatives, sat at three tables.

For the remaining three tables, Jiang Yang and his chef sat at one table, and the other two tables were some workers and Ning's nannies, bodyguards and other staff.

The lunch tasted very good, but except for the people at the two tables who kept admiring, the people on the rest of the table behaved very plainly.

Needless to say, the people of the Ning family were used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and delicacies. Although the dishes made by Jiangyang and the others were delicious, they could not surprise them.

At Jiang Yang's table, they were all chefs.

After drinking and eating, Jiang Yang and the others will be busy next time.

There will be a lot of guests tomorrow, and it is said that fifty tables will be set up, that is, at least fifty servings of each dish will be made.At the same time, avoid too many people at that time, [-] tables cannot be seated, and a few more tables have to be prepared.

Chen Quanzhou discussed with the Ning family and decided to prepare 55 tables of ingredients, all of which were on the large truck outside.

55 tables, under the premise of ensuring the taste, the task is very heavy.

Jiang Yang naturally couldn't be lazy.

The chickens and ducks were all live, and Jiang Yang needed them, so he had to slaughter them himself.

In fact, there are people who are responsible for the slaughter.But Jiang Yang still chose to do it himself.

The main reason is that he doesn't prepare many dishes in advance, and everyone can't be busy, so he can play alone.

Boiling cabbage is a soup dish, which does not have as many requirements on the processing of ingredients as other dishes.However, the requirements for cooking time should be more stringent.

Jiang Yang has prepared the chicken, duck, ham, fresh lean meat and other ingredients needed for 55 servings of boiled cabbage.

Stacked together, it is spectacular.

Without such a big pot, Jiang Yang can only use two more large pots to cook.

It is said to be a pot, but it is actually a huge iron bucket.

The kind of iron bucket used to hold soup and porridge in the school cafeteria.

This is a pot specially used for cooking soup and braised vegetables when holding banquets.If it is an ordinary pass, it is not competent.

The busy time is always passing by here, it seems that the sun is slowly tilting towards the west after a short time.

Jiang Yang looked at the time, it was already 05:30 in the afternoon.

Just in time, all the ingredients needed for Jiangyang's dishes are ready, and the rest is cooking.

The ingredients are piled aside by category, waiting for tomorrow's cooking.

Jiang Yang knew that he had to get up early tomorrow, otherwise the soup would not taste good enough, and it would be a joke.

After a while, a steward of the Ning family came to inform Jiang Yang that they were preparing dinner.

Everyone had no choice but to temporarily put down what they were doing and prepare dinner.

At the arch, at some point, there were actually two more people.
