Acai's Sky

Chapter 211 Breakfast Tea Meeting

The morning sun shone on the village, and Ah Cai walked towards the canteen happily, carrying Xixi on her back.

Her face was filled with smiles, while 朏朏 lay obediently beside the bucket bag and watched the scene.

When she walked into the cafeteria, she saw that it was full of villagers, even the little Youzi from the village chief's family had come with them.

"Good morning!" Acai greeted everyone warmly.

"Acai is here? Come in and sit down!" the villagers responded one after another.

Ah Cai looked at the people from the entire village gathered here curiously and asked, "Grandma Sun, what happened?"

She walked over to Grandma Ma and sat down, took 朏朏 from the embroidered bucket bag and placed it on the dining table, then took out some spiritual fruits and placed them in front of it for it to enjoy.

Old Lady Sun smiled and touched her hand, explaining, "There's a top-notch wedding happening at the Fairy Tale Hotel today, and all of our villagers are invited to attend. Everyone's discussing what gifts to give!"

Ah Cai nodded in sudden realization, "Oh! So that's how it is!"

At this time, little Youzi came over curiously, staring at Xixi, "Sister Cai, is this the cat you raised?"

Ah Cai smiled and picked up Xiao Youzi, letting him sit next to her. She replied, "It's not an ordinary cat, it just looks a bit like one. But isn't it very beautiful?"

Little Youzi nodded excitedly, stretched out her little hand and carefully stroked Xixi's fur, with love flashing in her eyes.

Village chief Rong frowned and said worriedly, "Let's go to the banquet and just bring some agricultural products from home." He felt that this was both practical and showed his thoughtfulness.

Old Mrs. Wang said worriedly, "This is a top-notch wedding banquet. If we from the countryside only bring our local specialties, won't it embarrass the bride and groom?" She felt that they should give some more expensive and decent gifts.

Dajiang waved his hand nonchalantly: "We are in the countryside here, so we should follow the local customs. Do we have to perform a 'yangge dance' for them?" He felt that there was no need to pay too much attention to these formalities.

At this time, Mrs. Sun noticed that Ah Cai had been listening carefully to everyone's conversation, so she asked, "Ah Cai, do you have any good ideas?"

Ah Cai came to her senses, thought for a moment, and then said, "Although we are in the countryside, who says that weddings must be held in a Western style? Who says we can't have a Chinese wedding and have to get a wedding dress?"

When Village Chief Rong heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and cheered: "That's right! Why do Chinese people have to wear Western wedding dresses? Those white clothes look like..."

Everyone in the restaurant burst into laughter, echoing in unison: "Haha...it's white!"

Ah Cai quickly called Tong Jia'er over and said in a low voice, "Isn't Ah Yuan here? Go find all our ancient costumes and prepare one for each villager."

"Go to Xiangshui Village to buy a set of wedding attire for the bride and groom, and include it in the wedding expenses. Go and discuss with the newlyweds and decide on a Chinese-style wedding!" Ah Cai whispered.

Tong Jiaer said, "I understand. The clan leader is in Wangyou City. Weapons will soon be deployed to the soldiers in the outer city. Our army is fully equipped."

Ah Cai's eyes lit up. "Are they those first-generation interstellar weapons?"

Tong Jiaer nodded, "The clan leader needs to be in charge of the inspection, there can't be any mistakes!"

Village Chief Song stood up happily and said with a smile on his face, "Our village's art troupe is here! They're playing all kinds of music and singing, and everything is ready!"

Hearing this, Su Lie couldn't help but laugh out loud, making a "puchi" sound.

Everyone turned to look at him, dissatisfaction on their faces, and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Su Lie quickly shook his chubby hands and explained, "I have no objection, I just think this is a bit out of place..."

Village Chief Rong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Why would we want to have a Western-style wedding in a rural area? A Chinese-style wedding would be more appropriate, with the bride being paraded around the village in a sedan chair."

Ah Cai gave Village Chief Rong a thumbs up, "So domineering!"

Dajiang also echoed, nudged Su Lie with his elbow, and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

At this time, Mrs. Wang asked, "Where can we find a red wedding dress? Our wedding dress can't be worn by the newlyweds!"

Tong Jiaer immediately stepped forward and said, "Our hotel will take care of this. I'll get the ancient costumes out later so everyone can change into them!"

Everyone was very excited after hearing this and kept asking, "Wow, where are ours?"

Huacun Lao asked curiously, "Which era is this clothing from?"

Tong Jiaer replied, "Han Dynasty Hanfu, including accessories."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath and sighed: "Hiss~"

Seeing this, Dajiang jokingly said, "Are you using this wedding banquet as an advertisement?"

Ah Cai looked at the villagers and said, "Grandpa Hua, please stop trying to take over the emcee position. It's tiring just standing there!"

Village Chief Rong said, "No need for anyone else, I'll be the emcee. After dinner, I'll go home and find the original script and read it from there!"

As soon as Tong Jiajiu came in, he shouted at a few people, asking them to go to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, because there were too many people coming to eat today.

While eating, Village Chief Rong asked Tong Jiajiu, "At a wedding banquet over there, the dishes can't be home-cooked dishes, right?"

Tong Jiajiu smiled and replied, "How could that be possible? That was a top-tier wedding banquet, costing millions, and it was all spiritual food." He paused, then continued, "Wedding banquet dishes include appetizers, cold dishes, main courses, and staple foods..."

Hearing this, Xiao Youzi's eyes lit up and his saliva was almost flowing out.

Seeing this, A Cai quickly served a bowl of crab stick corn porridge to Grandma Ma and Xiao Youzi respectively.

Then she walked to the dining area and saw a lot of steamed buns, steamed dumplings, steamed eggs and other foods there, so she brought some back.

"These are steamed dumplings stuffed with cucumber and pork. Try them first and see if they're delicious. If you like them, you can take some more."

Acai introduced it to everyone enthusiastically.

"This steamed bun is stuffed with pumpkin and egg. It must taste delicious."

Ah Cai placed a serving of steamed egg with shrimp paste in front of little Youzi and said to her, "This is steamed egg with shrimp paste specially prepared for Youzi."

Then she handed another serving of steamed egg with sea cucumber and shrimp to Grandma Ma and told her that this one was especially for her.

A Cai was busy serving dishes back and forth.

"Pan-fried potato pancakes, sesame glutinous rice cakes, and a small piece of pomelo will be fine."

"And this red bean paste bun is also very delicious. You should try it too."

"Wow! There are so many delicious foods!" Little Youzi danced with excitement as he looked at the table full of delicious food.

Grandma Ma also nodded slightly and ate her breakfast slowly.

"You're welcome, grandma. You and Yuzu enjoy it slowly." Ah Cai replied with a smile.

With Ah Cai's warm hospitality, Ma Apo and Xiao Youzi enjoyed their meal happily. They enjoyed the delicious food while chatting happily.

Everyone ate and talked, and the topic naturally revolved around today's grand wedding.

Uncle Dajiang picked up a piece of fish and chewed it while sighing, "A rose and a wedding, that's really worth it. I can't bear to spend millions on a wedding, it's too extravagant."

Aunt Dajiang was sitting nearby. Upon hearing this, she smiled gently, stretched out two fingers, pinched the soft flesh on Uncle Dajiang's waist, and twisted it hard.

Uncle Dajiang jumped up in pain, shouting, "Ouch, it hurts so much!"

This caused laughter from the people around.

Grandma Sun put down her chopsticks, slowly picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth. She looked at Uncle Dajiang and smiled, "Dajiang, don't be so stingy. Young people nowadays think differently than we did back then. As for a wedding, as long as you're happy and can afford it, just let them do what they want. Besides, don't they have a few roses in their hands?"

Old Lady Wang nodded in agreement, "Yes, times have changed, and so have consumer values. It's only natural for a bride to want to marry off in style."

Village Chief Rong took a sip of his wine and sighed, "I heard that the parents of the bride and groom even gave them 50,000 yuan for drinks. That's quite a lot of money!"

Uncle Dajiang nodded repeatedly in agreement. "That's right, but it's worth it for them to hold their wedding at the Fairy Tale Hotel in our village. Look at how beautiful the setting is, and the service is excellent. They even provided the newlyweds with a sedan chair, wedding attire, and other traditional wedding supplies. It's truly a one-stop service. So, the price is reasonable..."

Aunt Dajiang patted Uncle Dajiang lightly and said, "Eat your meal. You're so busy. I thought you were getting married!"

Dajiang nodded quickly, "Eat, eat..."
