Chapter 322: Discussing the Wedding Banquet
"Captain, sister-in-law, just agree to this. I want to do something to express my congratulations on your marriage. If you let me host your wedding banquet, I will make it grand and lively, and I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Xu Anping was afraid that Fu Weihao and Song Cenyue would not agree, so without waiting for them to speak, he begged with a pleading expression.
What he said was all from his heart. The leader he admired the most was getting married. He was very happy for him and wanted to do something to help him. He thought of organizing a wedding banquet for the leader and Song Cenyue and giving them the best.
"If you let me handle it for you, I will definitely give you the lowest price, and I won't charge you any tickets... Originally I wanted to not charge you a penny, but you are holding a wedding banquet after all, and you need to invite many tables, so I definitely can't not charge you a penny...
Normally, it's fine for a few of you to come and eat for free, but it's impossible to host a wedding banquet with so many tables for free. I can't explain it when the boss checks the accounts. But if I host your wedding banquet, it will definitely be cheaper than if you find a restaurant outside, and it can help you save a lot of money."
Xu Anping was still afraid that Fu Weihao and Song Cenyue would not agree, so he told them the benefits of letting him do it, that they could spend less money and did not need any tickets.
At this time, you need tickets to eat at a restaurant outside, and you naturally need tickets to hold a wedding banquet at a restaurant outside. The number of tickets required is calculated based on the number of meals and dishes you want for the wedding banquet. The more tables you hold, the more tickets you need. This is a huge burden for ordinary people, so many ordinary people cannot afford to hold wedding banquets in restaurants and hold them at home.
But those who are in good conditions, have connections at home and can get a lot of tickets will choose to hold their wedding banquet in a hotel, thinking that it is grand and prestigious.
"Letting Director Xu do it can save a lot of money, and there's no need for tickets, what a great thing!" Song Cenyue said with a smile. "And Director Xu is definitely more reliable than letting someone else do it. Director Xu will definitely take it very seriously. I think there is no one more suitable than him to host the wedding banquet. Brother Weihao, let's leave our wedding banquet to Director Xu!"
It's hard to refuse a kind offer. Xu Anping wanted to help them organize the wedding banquet so much. Even if she could save a lot of money by letting him do it, she couldn't refuse him and wanted to let him do it.
"Actually, I was planning to hold our wedding banquet in the restaurant of the guesthouse and wanted to entrust it to Xu Anping. I didn't expect this guy to bring it up first. He wants to help us." Fu Weihao said with a smile.
He felt that the food and taste of the state-owned restaurants in the city, including the largest and most famous ones, were not as good as the restaurant in their guesthouse. Most of the people he wanted to invite were in the military area, and the restaurant in the guesthouse was big enough to accommodate many tables. It would be better to hold his and his wife's wedding banquet in the restaurant of the guesthouse.
Unexpectedly, before he even proposed it, Xu Anping had already proposed it and begged for it like this.
Xu Anping was very happy when he heard what Fu Weihao and his wife said.
"As for money, I'm not someone who cares about money. You don't have to save money for me. Go to the highest standard and prepare sixteen dishes for each table, including chicken, fish, and duck.
Pork and beef must also be included. The guests must be impressed by the food! They will remember Yue'er and I's wedding and banquet for the rest of our lives. They will praise the food and have an endless aftertaste!" Fu Weihao told Xu Anping.
He was not short of money, so he would not think about trying to save money on the wedding banquet, nor did he think of holding the wedding banquet in the restaurant of the military district guesthouse, relying on his relationship with Xu Anping to let Xu Anping charge him less or even not ask him to pay.
He would never think of taking advantage of this, and he would never bother to take advantage of this.
"Our Captain Fu is so generous and lavish that he wants to prepare 16 dishes for one table, including chicken, fish, duck, pork, and beef! This is comparable to a state banquet... He is so rich!
It’s a pity that I’m not a woman. If I were a woman, I would definitely snatch you from my sister-in-law, kick her away, let me marry you, and get all your money for me to spend, hahaha…” Lu Junzhe interrupted and joked, and laughed at the end.
The others also laughed. Song Cenyue said with a smile: "If Big Brother Lu was a woman, then I would definitely become a good sister with Big Brother Lu. I would not compete with my good sister for a man. I would give Brother Weihao to you!"
Unexpectedly, Fu Weihao showed a hurt expression, "Yue'er, are you serious? If your best friend also likes me, you will give me to her... How can you do this!"
It hurts him so much!
He was not as good as her good sister. Even though she knew she was joking, she still couldn't stand it, still felt uncomfortable, and still got angry...
Seeing Fu Weihao's expression, everyone laughed even louder. Lu Junzhe laughed the loudest. He couldn't stop clapping and even slammed the table.
Fu Weihao glared at his good brother in embarrassment, "What are you laughing at! What's so funny... I'm telling you, if you were a woman, I wouldn't let you get close to me...
How can you compare with my Yue Er? I will never marry you even if I die!" He cursed, his face full of disgust and disgust.
Song Cenyue and Xu Anping were dying of laughter, while Lu Junzhe showed a hurt expression, "You little brat, after all, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, what you said is too much!"
Fu Weihao snorted, disapprovingly, and picked up a large piece of Dongpo pork with his chopsticks and put it in the bowl of his beloved young wife.
"Yue'er, have some Dongpo pork. It's especially delicious! I think it's the best dish in this meal!" He looked at his beloved young wife, changing his previous attitude towards Lu Junzhe. His face was filled with a gentle smile, and his eyes were full of pampering.
Song Cenyue picked up the Dongpo pork from the bowl, no, now it should be said that her husband picked it up and started eating it, nodding and praising: "It's really delicious, so delicious!"
This Dongpo pork is not only beautiful, with a bright red color like agate, but also cooked to the perfect temperature. It is soft but not mushy, fatty but not greasy, and tastes very fragrant and wonderful.
It’s just as good as the Dongpo pork I make myself. The chef in this restaurant is really good at cooking.
"Xiao Xu, remember, we must have a bowl of this Dongpo pork at our wedding banquet." Fu Weihao also took a little Dongpo pork to taste, and after eating it, he nodded twice in satisfaction and instructed Xu Anping.
"Okay! Captain, I did a rough calculation. If every table has chicken, duck, fish, pork and beef as you requested, then a table will cost at least twelve yuan. Do you think this price is okay? I have already calculated it carefully for you." Xu Anping nodded and said.
Twelve yuan per table is very expensive. After all, the salary of an ordinary worker is only about thirty yuan a month. One table is equivalent to nearly half a month's salary of an ordinary worker. But there must be chicken, duck, fish, pork, and beef. There is no way to have less.
After all, a table includes not only chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, but also eleven other dishes. The team leader said that a table should have sixteen dishes.
He has tried his best to save money, but it still costs twelve dollars a table... Although the team leader told him not to save money, and he also knew that he was a rich man, he still felt that he should save as much as possible.
Even if the team leader has money, we should still try our best to help him save money and not let him spend too much money.
"Sure!" Fu Weihao nodded. Twelve dollars a table was quite cheap for him, and he didn't think it was expensive.
Seeing that Fu Weihao had no objection, Song Cenyue also nodded and thanked Xu Anping: "Director Xu, thank you for helping us calculate carefully and trying to lower the price...
So many vegetables, so much meat, and only cost twelve dollars."
There were sixteen dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, pork and beef, and twelve yuan was already very cheap. Xu Anping was really very frugal.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do. Captain, sister-in-law, have you set the wedding date? I can prepare the ingredients and tell the chef to prepare... By the way, how many tables do you plan to host? I can buy the ingredients." Xu An waved his hand and smiled.
"The wedding date hasn't been set yet! I'll tell you as soon as it's set. I don't know how many tables we'll have yet, because I have to figure out the guest list, but a rough estimate is that it will definitely be more than a hundred tables...
We have to invite many people from our regiment alone, as well as people from other military regiments, and my classmates and friends from other places. It's a lot of people just thinking about it." Fu Weihao said.
"If you want to invite more than a hundred tables, it will cost more than a thousand yuan!" Xu Anping frowned slightly.
Although he knew that the team leader was very rich and more than a thousand yuan was only his annual salary, he still felt pain for him.
After all, more than a thousand yuan is enough for an ordinary family to live for many years.
"I've paid for their wedding banquet. Once they've decided on how many tables they want, calculate how much it'll cost and tell me, and I'll give it to you." Lu Junzhe suddenly said something that shocked everyone.
