In less than a minute, the first batch of stew was finished by the guests.
It couldn't be helped. Everything about this wedding celebration was good, but it took too long. They had been seated since 11 in the morning, and now it was almost 1: 00 in the afternoon. They hadn't eaten anything, and no food had been served.
Now that there was finally something to eat, they naturally split the spoons and quickly finished the stewed meat in their bowls.
More importantly, everyone thought that the stew might be from the big cauldron in the middle. This was meat stewed in a big cauldron, and they might only have a chance to taste it once in their lives. Of course, they had to finish it!
Moreover, the stew was quite delicious. It was slightly sweet, mellow, and had a little pepper. It was simply delicious.
Well, this was actually pork stewed in a big cauldron. Of course, it tasted good. As for the pork stewed in a real bronze cauldron, it didn't taste so good. Many guests frowned slightly after eating it. If it weren't for the fact that they might not be able to eat pork stewed in a bronze cauldron in their lives, they might not eat it at all.
It couldn't be helped. If the food stewed in a bronze cauldron was delicious, our ancestors wouldn't have thrown the ancient bronze cooking utensils aside after the iron cauldron appeared. In the end, it evolved into a pure ceremonial utensil.
After the stew, all kinds of delicious dishes began to be served like flowing water. Moreover, each person had a portion. According to the calculation of the 40,000 people present, each dish had to be prepared for 40,000 people, which made many guests smack their lips.
That was not all. When a delicious dish was served, the guests were about to taste it carefully. However, after about three minutes, a maid immediately took the dish away and replaced it with another dish.
It wasn't until then that the guests realized that the dishes were served one after another. There could only be one dish in front of you. If you didn't eat quickly, the dish would be taken away soon.
"Exquisite!" The guests exclaimed, and then wolfed down the food even more.
It couldn't be helped. Seventy to eighty percent of the guests were Daqian employees. These workers didn't pay much attention to the food. It would be a loss if they didn't eat until they were full!
Many years later, many guests could not help but sigh when they recalled this day. This was definitely the banquet where they ate the fastest and the most.
Moreover, there was still a question in everyone's heart that they couldn't find an answer for a long time. That was, in order to let 40,000 people eat like this, just how many waiters were needed to serve the dishes? It might even be more than the number of guests.
Well, Boss Jia had never announced the number of attendants at a normal wedding. But years later, someone used AI data to analyze the original video and finally concluded that there were 19459 attendants in total.
Of course, this once-in-a-century Han wedding was also deeply imprinted in their memories, and they would not forget it for a long time.
The guests ate happily, but now Boss Jia was a little unhappy.
He had no choice but to be pestered by a group of relatives.
Although Boss Jia had transmigrated to this world alone, Jia Yapeng had relatives in this world.
Logically speaking, Boss Jia had never liked his relatives.
Firstly, Boss Jia did not have any feelings for them.
Secondly, when Boss Jia was preparing for his parents' funeral, Boss Jia brought his family to borrow money from these relatives because they really couldn't afford it. In the end, these relatives all said that they were embarrassingly short of money and that their family was miserable. They did not lend a single cent to Boss Jia. In the end, Boss Jia was forced to sell the refrigerator and color TV at home in exchange for some money to pay for the cremation fee. However, they were still not buried. After the urn was left in the funeral parlor for three months, Boss Jia, who had earned enough money, bought a piece of land and buried his parents.
Therefore, Boss Jia had cut off all contact with his parents' relatives. Until a year later, when these relatives saw that Jia Yapeng had made a fortune, they all shamelessly came to pull strings. Boss Jia ignored them all and did not lend them any money. They even proposed to arrange for their relatives to work in the factory, but Boss Jia directly rejected them. Therefore, the conflict between the two parties had been accumulating.
This time, for Jia Yapeng's wedding, he did not even send an invitation to these relatives. However, these relatives were thick-skinned enough to come over without an invitation.
Considering that it was a wedding and a joyous occasion, Boss Jia did not stop them in the end. He allowed them to come in for a meal and that was that.
However, he did not expect that there would still be a lot of trouble.
In the beginning, these relatives said that they did not have Han Chinese costumes and wanted Boss Jia to give them a set. Boss Jia endured and gave each of them a set.
Then, they proposed to sit on the seats closest to the main stage, which was the few rows where Alan Adehan and the others were sitting. However, Boss Jia directly rejected them. Then, they settled for the next best thing, which was to sit at the front of the ordinary seats. Boss Jia finally agreed.
In the end, when the wedding was over, these relatives suddenly quarreled. Because they were all Boss Jia's relatives, the nearby staff could not handle it. Therefore, Boss Jia, who had just finished the wedding, had no choice but to come out and settle these relatives in person.
The reason these relatives were quarreling was that they felt that the wedding was not perfect. The most important step was that the newlyweds had to toast to the elders.
"How can the newlyweds not toast to the elders?" A fat middle-aged woman, who seemed to be one of Boss Jia's aunts, said with her hands on her waist, "Little Peng, we know you are rich, but you can't be so careless. How can you not toast to the elders at the wedding and thank them for raising you? "
"If this matter is spread out, people will laugh at our Jia family for being uneducated and lacking in family style!" The aunts shouted loudly.
"I don't have any elders. My parents are dead!" Boss Jia said coldly.
"My elder brother and sister-in-law are indeed gone, but it doesn't mean that you don't have any elders. Today, our great granduncle specially came here to attend your wedding. You and your wife should invite him to the stage and kowtow to him. That's the proper etiquette!" The aunts waved her hand and two young men came over with an old man with white hair and a white beard.
This was indeed Boss Jia's Great Granduncle. He and Boss Jia's grandfather were blood brothers. However, they had a falling out and no longer contacted each other. Unexpectedly, these people were invited by him.
This guy was over eighty years old this year.
"The wedding is over. There's no need to do this anymore!" Boss Jia said with a frown.
"Cough, cough, cough!" That Great Granduncle suddenly coughed and wailed, "Our family is unfortunate! You don't even recognize your elders. Ancestors of the Jia family, I'm so sorry! I didn't teach the future generations well!!! "
This old man really took it seriously.
Logically speaking, if it wasn't a big day today, this old man was indeed over eighty years old, and Boss Jia still understood the traditional Chinese virtues, he really wanted to kick him.
"Little Peng, we don't mean anything else. We are all relatives. We just want you to kowtow to your Great Granduncle and offer him a cup of tea. We don't want your money. Why are you so stingy?" The aunts said with a smile.
"Hehe, we don't want your money. Of course we don't want your money!" Boss Jia snorted coldly in his heart. He knew very well what these relatives of his were planning.
That's right. This time, perhaps they didn't want his money. What they wanted was to continue their relationship as relatives. Previously, because Boss Jia borrowed money from them, their relationship as relatives was broken. Boss Jia didn't even care about them. He even said that Boss Jia didn't have these relatives and they couldn't do anything about it.
However, today, as long as Boss Jia kowtowed to them and offered them a cup of tea, their relationship as relatives would be renewed. Boss Jia would acknowledge them as his relatives.
Perhaps nothing would happen at the wedding today. However, in the future, these relatives would definitely crazily come to Boss Jia's door and think of ways to take advantage of him.
After all, Boss Jia was fat. They could easily take advantage of him and their hands would be full of oil!
