Chapter 376 What are two pounds of gold bricks? A divine feast for the whole village!
The emcee's loud announcement of "Open the banquet!"
It was like a muffled thunderclap rising from the ground.
The sound was extremely loud.
In the blink of an eye, it ignited the enthusiasm of the entire Jiangjia Village.
The village chefs were already prepared.
They pushed around food carts that were steaming hot.
He skillfully moved between hundreds of tables at the banquet.
However, when the first dish was served.
The originally noisy scene was suddenly filled with an eerie silence.
No lobster or abalone.
There was no bird's nest or shark fin.
It was served on that white jade-like porcelain plate.
It turned out to be just an ordinary dish.
It could even be described as an extremely simple stir-fried bok choy.
The vegetable leaves were a vibrant, glistening green.
It looked as if it still carried the morning dew.
Apart from that, there are no other fancy embellishments.
Jiang Jianye was sitting at a table in the corner.
He almost spat out the mouthful of tea in his mouth.
He specially changed into a brand new suit today.
His hair was slicked back and slicked back with oil.
He just wanted to regain some dignity as a city dweller in front of these wealthy people from the provincial capital.
But when this dish was served...
His hard-earned confidence.
Most of it collapsed at once.
Jiang Jianye's tone revealed undisguised disappointment and contempt.
"I... I thought it was some kind of delicacy, but it turns out this is what they're serving us?"
His wife, Zhang Guifang, covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
He chimed in with a sarcastic tone.
"Exactly! They made such a grand show, with helicopters and gold bars, but all they got was a plate of vegetables to fool people?"
"In our county, even the worst banquet would at least serve four-happiness meatballs as the first dish, right? This is far too stingy."
Aunt Liu Cuifen was scolded by Jiang Wan today.
I was dazzled by the two-pound gold brick again.
He was seething with anger.
At this moment, someone took the lead.
She immediately found an outlet.
He raised his hand and slammed it on the table.
He shouted at his relatives in a loud voice.
"Stingy? This is more than just stingy!"
"You guys don't know, Jiang Chen has been stingy since he was a child! I told you long ago, even if someone gets rich, they can't change their stingy nature!"
"Just you wait and see, there probably won't be a single decent piece of meat on these hundred-plus tables today!"
Liu Cuifen was spitting everywhere as she spoke.
"Spending so much money on all that fancy stuff just to save money on food! They're really shrewd!"
Her words resonated with many distant relatives.
In a short time.
Discussions rose and fell.
Those wealthy and famous people who came from the provincial capital.
They remained silent, mindful of their status.
But the expression on his face also became somewhat subtle.
These people have witnessed countless top-level state banquets.
They have an exceptional ability to appreciate the quality of ingredients.
The presentation of this plate of bok choy is truly exquisite.
That fragrance was also extraordinary.
But at such a high-end wedding, only a vegetarian dish is served.
That is indeed somewhat against the rules.
Just then.
Su Tianhao, the future father-in-law, sat at the head table.
But he did something that shocked everyone.
He completely ignored the comments around him.
They couldn't even wait to use chopsticks.
He reached out and picked up a green cabbage leaf.
It was put into my mouth just like that.
Su Tianhao moved very quickly.
It was like a refugee who had been starving for three days seeing a life-saving steamed bun.
Eat the vegetable leaves.
His face was always tense from business negotiations.
In the blink of an eye, it relaxed and unfolded.
A sweet taste that defies description.
Accompanied by abundant life energy.
It exploded violently in his mouth.
That's a flavor that seasonings can't replicate.
That is the purest sweetness of life's origin.
crisp.
tasty.
Endless aftertaste.
more importantly.
The gentle warmth slid down his throat.
It immediately dispelled his fatigue from the past few days.
Su Tianhao felt refreshed and invigorated.
I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Delicious! It's great!"
He no longer cared about maintaining the demeanor of a billionaire.
He grabbed his chopsticks and devoured the plate of bok choy in a flash.
The movements were extremely fast.
Sitting next to him, Jiang Wan and Su Mingzhu were equally impressive.
Especially Empress Dowager Su Mingzhu.
She had already experienced the delicious taste of this divine dish.
At this moment, they are even more determined to take the lead.
Three generations of a family.
It's like some kind of mysterious competition mode has been activated.
The chopsticks fluttered in the air.
Back and forth.
Less than half a minute.
The three of them devoured the entire plate of bok choy.
Even the little bit of bright green soup left in the plate.
Su Tianhao picked them up and drank them all down to the bottom.
This is an unbelievable sight.
This plunged the entire venue into a deathly silence once again.
Everyone was stunned.
Especially Jiang Jianye and Liu Cuifen.
Their mouths were open.
The sarcasm on his face froze into a comical expression.
What's going on?
The family of the richest man in the provincial capital.
I almost broke my chopsticks trying to grab a plate of bok choy?
Do they not eat normally?
The second dish was cucumber salad.
The third dish was scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
The fourth dish was steamed carp.
Every dish is a very common home-style dish.
But every single dish that was served...
A thrilling battle for food always unfolds at the main table.
Dean Sun Dehai was so moved that tears streamed down his face.
He chewed it in large bites.
He used a professional tone to explain the science to the county leaders at the same table.
"See that! The crispness of this cucumber, the lycopene content of this tomato, and the abundance of trace elements in this fish..."
"This is no longer food! This is a work of art! A treasure that can prolong life!"
With these top figures sharing their experiences,
The other guests could no longer remain seated.
They all picked up their chopsticks and tentatively took a bite.
next second.
The entire village committee compound.
They were completely overwhelmed by a chorus of incredulous exclamations and satisfied sighs.
Jiang Jianye, who was originally complaining about the meager food, was now in a state of shock.
He was stuffing fish meat into his mouth right now.
That melts in your mouth, with an incredibly delicious taste.
It gave him goosebumps all over his body.
He felt that all the big meals he had eaten in his life were just empty words.
Compared to the fish in front of me.
It's like pig swill.
He wanted to take a second bite.
But they found the plate was empty.
Jiang Jianye looked around.
They found that the situation was exactly the same at every table.
All the dishes.
They were all devoured within a very short time after being served.
Even the plates were licked clean.
It's even shinier than after washing.
A look of pure bliss filled everyone's faces.
Liu Cuifen looked at this magical scene.
The sunflower seeds in my hand fell all over the ground.
Unconvinced, she picked up a mouthful of vegetable soup with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
That fragrance was so rich and intense.
It shot straight up from the throat to the top of the head.
She froze on the spot.
It turns out the clown was herself.
Just then.
The emcee returned to the stage.
The voice was high-pitched.
"Distinguished guests! Dear friends and family!"
"Our food tasting session has come to a temporary close!"
"Next up is the most exciting part of our day—the bride and groom's toast! And the grand prize draw for this wedding of the century!"
The emcee took a deep breath.
"I can confidently tell you all here that the grand prize Mr. Jiang has prepared for you is a surprise that no one in the world can refuse!"
These words reached the ears of everyone present.
It is undoubtedly the greatest temptation.
