Grandma Wu was not a local. She was sold to her current husband as a child bride by her parents in her early years and had children. In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed.
Other than his parents who he couldn't remember clearly, the only thing he remembered about his hometown was that it was different from the big tables in Jiang Manor where everything was done. In his hometown, everything was done in a lively and flowing banquet.
When one was old, they always liked to reminisce about the past.
She had always wanted to see what the Flowing Water Feast looked like.
When he was young, he had only seen it once when he was standing outside someone else's house. The dishes were served one after another, and the scene was extremely lively. He had a deep impression of it, and he had never forgotten it after so many years.
Therefore, she discussed with Jiang Ping if they could have a flowing banquet.
Ding! Quest can be upgraded. Upgrade?
When the system's voice sounded, it also meant that the mission had been upgraded.
Because Grandma Wu wanted to do the running water seat and she was obsessed with it, she was given a different meaning for this mission. It could be said that the conditions had been added to the original foundation, and the mission was now in a state of leveling up.
If he was sure that it was an upgrade, it would be equivalent to accepting Grandma Wu's request to make a flowing banquet and fulfill her wish.
At the same time, the mission completion reward after leveling up would also be doubled.
If he did not level up, it would be equivalent to rejecting Grandma Wu's request. The mission would still be the same.
According to the system's explanation, this kind of mission that was endowed with special emotions could only be encountered by chance, because the trigger condition required a very deep emotion.
After Jiang Ping understood the process of the running water banquet, he agreed immediately.
Compared to the usual big table dishes, all the cold dishes were served first, followed by all the hot dishes.
The biggest feature of the Flowing Water Banquet was that every dish on the table had soup and water. There were no stir-fried or cooked dishes. Every new dish on the table had to be removed at the same time.
The process of serving and removing the dishes was as smooth as flowing water, so it was called the Flowing Water Feast.
In essence, it was just that the rules of serving food had changed.
What was so difficult about it? They were all cooking the same dishes. At most, the person who served the dishes would be a little busier and eat one dish after another.
When Jiang Ping was confirming the menu, he even specially checked the taste of the dishes in Grandma Wu's hometown, giving them enough credit.
The dishes were almost the same, but the taste was mostly sour and spicy.
There were a total of 24 dishes in the Flowing Water Banquet. These 24 dishes were divided into 8 cold and 16 hot dishes. There were meat and vegetables, cold and hot dishes, soup and water, sour, spicy and refreshing.
Among the eight cold dishes, there were four vegetarian dishes and four meat dishes. They were served first with wine.
Out of the 16 hot dishes, there were four dishes that pressed down the table. The other 12 dishes were in groups of three. They were all served in large and small bowls. The taste was similar. Each group had a leading dish called the Supreme Court.
When he asked Grandma Wu what she wanted to eat, Jiang Ping was dumbfounded.
"Master Xiaojiang, just cook as you see fit. I've lived in Jiang Village for so many years that I've forgotten the taste of my hometown. I'm not used to eating it. Moreover, it's my grandson's birthday party.”
"When I celebrate my 80th birthday, I'll make a table full of my favorite food.”
Jiang Ping,"That's fine too."
He had taken it for granted.
Grandma Wu had lived in Jiang Manor for most of her life. She had long been a resident here.
He had originally wanted to cook some dishes with different flavors, but now it seemed that there was no need.
"How many dishes did you order for that table?"
"It's still the same old rules. Everyone has 16 dishes, so we just have to install 16 dishes.”
"Sure, how many tables?"
Grandma Wu did some calculations. After her son started working, he went to another city and found a local daughter-in-law. He got married and settled down. He didn't know many people in his hometown.
It would be fine to invite some close relatives to the child's birthday party.
Ten tables should be enough.
"Just ten tables. Don't invite too many people.”
Jiang Ping nodded. He thought about the recipe, estimated the ingredients he needed, and wrote a list for Grandma Wu.
"Did anyone buy Grandma Wu's things?”
"My old man and nephew are both at home. They can go and buy it.”
"Alright, then I'll go over a day in advance to make preparations.”
...
Soon, it was the day before the birthday party.
Jiang Ping was busy at Grandma Wu's house for tomorrow's banquet.
The assistant was still Jiang Xue and Jiang Feipeng.
"Why are you two here?"
Jiang Ping heard that Grandma Wu had only invited relatives and friends who were close to her. There were only about ten tables in total.
Therefore, those who came to help were all Grandma Wu's family members. They actually saw Jiang Xue and Jiang Feipeng, two outsiders!
"Hehe, Grandma Wu came to buy fish. I gave her a discount and even helped her deliver the fish home.”
Since he had already left it behind, he didn't need to eat it.
"I live opposite. Grandma Wu only has two old people. Isn't it only right for them to come over and help with some heavy work?”
Alright! It was all reasonable.
Jiang Ping rolled his eyes unhappily. It sounded nice, but he was still here to freeload.
However, with the help of these two people, Jiang Ping was indeed much more relaxed.
They were all strong young men, so it was easy to order them around.
"Grandma Wu's son's family will be home before dinner. Shouldn't the dishes be prepared?”
Jiang Ping:
Looking at Jiang Ping's disdainful gaze, Jiang Xue said, If you don't work hard, there's a problem with your thinking!
