After finishing the meal, the uneaten dishes were packed by the village women and taken home, demonstrating the excellent virtue of avoiding waste. Then, everyone continued with the unfinished work from the morning, washing fruits and vegetables, and cleaning pots, pans, and dishes. They processed chicken, fish, meat, and eggs as the cooks started frying pork knuckles, whole chickens, and meatballs, preparing for the next day. The scene was bustling and lively.
Not every family has such grand arrangements.
In the past, they said Lu Yang's wedding was grand enough, but they didn't expect Lu Chen's to be even more impressive.
There were 150 tables in total. Serving thirty tables at a time would require five rounds to finish the banquet, but that was too time-consuming, so the chief steward arranged for three rounds, with fifty tables per round.
Wedding canopies were set up at the Lu Family's entrance and the surrounding open spaces, enough to accommodate fifty tables.
