At three in the morning the next day, Jiang Ping met up with Jiang Dejun and the others.
Then, the few of them drove the tricycle to the morning market in town.
"The market starts at three o'clock in the morning. There are all kinds of vegetables there.”
Jiang Dejun knew that Jiang Ping didn't understand these things, so he explained them to Jiang Ping on the way.
Jiang Ping had also done his homework before going to bed last night.
He searched the Internet for videos of the banquet in various places, and he knew the recipe of the banquet in Jiang Dejun's house this time.
"Uncle, how many tables do we need to prepare?”
Before buying vegetables, they had to confirm the number of people and see how many catties of vegetables were suitable.
"There are about 12 tables of people here. We'll buy 13 tables.”
"Alright, how much do you want to pay for the vegetables?"
"We definitely have enough money. Xiaojiang, don't worry."
Along the way, they decided on the menu. When they arrived at the place, they directly bought items according to the menu.
Jiang Ping was not familiar with the place, so he followed behind Jiang Dejun and the others. They led the way while Jiang Ping chose the ingredients.
"The cucumbers are not bad. Give me 20 catties.”
It was summer, and cucumbers were an essential cold dish.
"Just give me half of the pork, and the same for the sheep and cow.”
After a trip to the market, everything was ready. The group of people began to return home. The big tricycle was filled with ingredients.
When he came back, he went straight to Jiang Dejun's house.
Jiang Ping went to the courtyard to take a look. Good heavens, the stove, pots, pans, and other things were all prepared.
"Hehe, I know you don't have these things. Yesterday, we went to the neighboring village overnight to rent a set of things from the master.”
Jiang Ping really didn't expect Jiang Dejun's family to be so meticulous. It saved him a lot of trouble.
He only needed to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's banquet.
Many of the hard dishes on the banquet needed to be prepared a day in advance. For example, how could the pork knuckle taste good if it was not stewed overnight?
Jiang Dejun's family and relatives looked at the young master who burned the banquet with a trace of suspicion in their eyes.
However, Jiang Dejun's flattering words from the day before yesterday were still fresh in their minds. They also thought that he was here to help out in an emergency, so they were extremely enthusiastic for a moment.
A group of aunties helped to pick and wash the vegetables.
Those dozens of kilograms of vegetables had to be washed by these people. Jiang Ping was also happy to have someone to help.
The courtyard immediately became bustling with activity.
Fortunately, they were all from the same village and lived close to each other. Jiang Ping worked hard the entire morning to cut up all the meat and then went home to rest.
"My goodness, the job of burning the banquet is really not easy. If it wasn't for his young and good physical strength, he would have suffered a heatstroke by working so hard in the summer.”
When Jiang Ping reached home, he turned on the fan and spread it on the bamboo chair. He had never dealt with so much meat at once.
His entire body was marinated by the smell of meat.
Although he had the blessing of Divine Cooking and could handle the ingredients with ease, it was still tiring!
On the other side, the aunties who were helping in the courtyard were still discussing Jiang Ping after he left.
In the morning, when Jiang Ping picked up the kitchen knife, he disintegrated half of the pig in just two or three moves. The onlookers were dumbfounded.
All of them were full of praise for his knife skills.
In the morning, Jiang Ping's good cooking skills were spread by the surrounding crowd.
He suddenly became a celebrity in the village. On the way back, the villagers looked at him differently.
When they met him previously, the villagers knew about his family's matters. They looked at him with pity, sympathy, and so on.
His eyes were filled with confusion and doubt.
If he wasn't unfamiliar with anyone, he would probably have come to ask about it. With such good culinary skills, why did his family's restaurant close down?
Jiang Ping had a clear understanding of the gossiping ability of the village's aunties.
This was really a case where anyone could spread the news to the entire village.
In particular, the matchmakers in the village knew that Jiang Ping didn't have a partner yet.
In the afternoon, as soon as Jiang Ping stepped into Jiang Dejun's courtyard, he was surrounded by a group of aunties who had been waiting for a long time.
Jiang Ping was so scared that he quickly asked Jiang Dejun's uncle for help.
He still had a matter to deal with, so how could he have the time to deal with these things?
Moreover, they were still holding a funeral. Wouldn't it be annoying to talk about this?
The aunties were rejected, but when they saw Jiang Ping cutting the vegetables seriously, they were even more satisfied!
"This Little Jiang is really not bad. He's down-to-earth, has craftsmanship, and is also handsome. Look at his knife skills.”
When the group of aunties saw Jiang Ping cutting the vegetables, they immediately stopped working and stood at the side to watch with relish.
"Look at the way the carrot is cut. The kitchen knife is almost leaving afterimages.”
The children of the younger generation were also attracted by Jiang Ping's gorgeous cutting skills. They widened their eyes in amazement and took out their phones to start filming.
" Awesome! Big Brother is taking in disciples?"
"You guys didn't see it. In the morning, Master Jiang took a kitchen knife and directly cut off the pork ribs. Then, he separated the various parts.”
"Do you see that big pot? We're going to fry pork belly later to make braised pork with preserved vegetables.”
"There's also a large pot of pig knuckle to be stewed. We'll have a good meal tomorrow.”
As Jiang Ping began to cook, the fragrance in the courtyard never stopped. The adults still had their composure. A group of children surrounded the courtyard. When they smelled the fragrance, they stopped moving. No matter how their parents pulled them away, they wouldn't leave.
They surrounded the courtyard and watched with great interest.
