Return to the 80s, from touching loaches to becoming the world's richest man

Soon, Lu Hai finished everything and it was time to start the meal.

A wedding banquet at a new home is not like a wedding banquet, and does not require as many procedures.

Therefore, Lu Hai naturally started serving the dishes to all the tables.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, they were still shocked when they saw the table full of dishes.

I used to think that these so-called sixteen dishes were mostly just ingredients.

But who would have thought that most of them were meat dishes!

The suckling pig platter, the poached chicken and the braised pork with preserved vegetables, these three dishes, if served at other people's wedding banquets, would be the most high-end dishes.

But Lu Hai has prepared three of them.

Not to mention the four cold dishes: cold beef, cold kidney, cold lotus root slices, and cold shredded vegetables, two of which are meat.

Add to that four other meat dishes and a pork rib soup, there are a total of 10 meat dishes!

These days, life is hard for every household, except for the villagers in Luhai Village.

But that’s all. If they were asked to hold a banquet on such a grand scale, they would never dare to think about it.

Even when getting married, everyone tries to save as much as possible.

Normally, when ordinary people hold a wedding banquet, two or three meat dishes are enough, and the rest are all vegetarian.

Even having one big pot dish on the table is common.

But for many people, big pot dishes are a delicacy that they rarely eat on weekdays.

So a table full of delicious dishes like Lu Hai's is simply unheard of.

Moreover, Lu Hai also specially prepared a bottle of Lao Yingjia wine for each table. Although it is far inferior to Moutai, it is much better than those bulk wines. A bottle costs at least one yuan, which means it costs dozens of yuan for the wine.

When Yan Zhenguo and Yan Hanhai saw this situation, they saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

I originally wanted to thank Lu Hai, and the easiest way was to give him money.

But now it seems that Lu Hai is short of money.

Moreover, judging from the situation, they are richer than the Yan family.

After all, even their family wouldn't dare to be so lavish when holding a banquet.

Therefore, there was a hint of helplessness in Yan Hanhai's eyes.

It seems that this favor cannot be repaid for a while...

The same happened to several members of the Lin family, but they recovered in just a moment.

After all, they knew that Lu Hai's money came legally and legitimately.

They earn their money legally, so how they spend it is their business.

Not to mention, Mr. Lin now understood why Lu Hai rejected his invitation.

After all, with the ability and speed to make money, what's the good of being an official?

Look at his son, the second-in-command of the county, who has been promoted to county governor. Above him is only the county party secretary. His grandson is also the captain of the public security brigade. It is estimated that he will continue to rise in the near future.

Even if I were to hold a birthday party myself, I wouldn't dare to do it like Lu Hai did.

Of course, everyone’s pursuit of power and wealth is different, so we can’t generalize.

Unlike what they thought, what many villagers thought was much simpler.

Once the food is served, you can start eating right away.

The adults were fine, but as for the children, many of them just stood on the chairs and picked up the vegetables and meat to eat, with their mouths full of fat.

After all, even if life has improved and we can have meat for every meal, we still can't eat as much as we want.

Basically every household has two or three children, plus adults. If they really want to eat their fill with meat, how much would this meal cost?

But today is different. There is a lot of meat on the table. Not to mention the children, even the adults would be able to eat it with their mouths full of oil.

After seeing all the dishes were served, Lu Hai could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, it wasn't a wedding banquet, so there was no need to toast to the guests, so after serving the dishes, Lu Hai was done with his work.

After chatting with my parents and parents-in-law and having a few drinks, I told them about the identities of Mr. Yan and Mr. Lin.

Although they knew that the identities of these two people were probably not simple, they did not expect that they were so powerful, especially Yan Zhenguo, who actually came from the city!

They also know that they cannot neglect a few people. After all, only with relationships can you walk smoothly and successfully.

So, he immediately told Lu Hai not to worry about them.

As for his group of little brothers, they naturally took a bottle of Moutai, chatted briefly, drank a few glasses, and then handed it to their brother-in-law.

Fortunately, my brother-in-law had also come into contact with Luo Yongfeng and Lai Anbang, and after a few drinks, the young man quickly integrated into the group.

Afterwards, Lu Hai picked up another bottle of Moutai and walked to the table where the Lin family and Old Man Yan were sitting.

Are you saying that land and sea are treated differently?

Nonsense, how can people be the same? !

He originally felt guilty, but when he came here, he realized that he was obviously worrying too much.

Both Mr. Lin and Mr. Yan were heroes of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. However, because Mr. Lin was older and had injuries, he was unable to participate in the war with the United States.

So I have always felt regretful.

However, Yan Zhenguo made up for Lin Guodong's inner regret, so now when he listened to Yan Zhenguo talk about what happened in the war, he was very interested.

Especially because both of them were heroes of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and had previously belonged to different companies, the things that happened to them were quite different.

Listening to each other telling interesting stories about the War of Resistance against Japan that they had experienced before, they naturally listened with great interest.

Even when Lu Hai sat down beside them, the two elders did not notice for a while, obviously immersed in their past years.

Lu Hai did not disturb them. He poured wine into the glasses of Lin Jianguo, Lin Wenshan, Liu Guowei and Yan Hanhai, and listened to the thrilling battles with them.

"I didn't expect your situation was so difficult at that time..." Lin Guodong said after a moment of silence after listening.

"Yeah... Now that I think about it, I feel that those victories were a little bit unbelievable," Yan Zhenguo seemed to remember something, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Lu Hai knew that perhaps Yan Zhenguo was thinking of his former comrades-in-arms.

After all, so many people were buried on that battlefield back then, and now they can't even return to their roots. How can it not be sad?

It was the first time that Lu Hai actually heard the old hero’s story in person, and he realized how pale and powerless what he had heard before was.

As Mr. Lin said, when crossing the snow-capped mountain, no one in the company died of hunger. On the contrary, several people in the kitchen squad were all buried in the snow-capped mountain.

Just because the people in the kitchen wanted the soldiers to have enough to eat, they secretly poured the food back into the pot and lied to the soldiers that they had candy to eat, but in fact they were just small stones. They did all this just to let the soldiers in the company eat more.

Because of the strong wind on the snowy mountain, he couldn't make a fire, so he pulled out the cotton from his clothes to help with the burning. When the cotton on his sleeves was all torn out, he started to pull out the cotton on his body. In the end, because all the cotton in his clothes was torn out, he froze to death on the snowy mountain, just so that all the soldiers in the company could have a bite of food...

There were also battles with the United States, where many soldiers were starved to death due to lack of food and clothing and freezing to death.

He even stood still in an environment of dozens of degrees below zero just to ambush the American soldiers, and was finally frozen to death.

But the expressions of these people did not change at all until their death, they were still so determined...

Lu Hai heard a lot of things like this from them.

Especially when the parties involved personally came forward to tell their stories, it made Lu Hai feel as if he had seen those lovely ancestors with his own eyes.

"Fortunately, all the enemies were driven away." Lu Hai said softly.

"Yes, fortunately we drove away all the enemies..." Yan Zhenguo and Lin Guodong couldn't help but sigh when they heard this.

But at this time, they seemed to have just discovered Lu Hai.

Because of what Lu Hai said just now, they felt that everything they and their comrades had done was worth it.

So the sadness in my heart also dissipated instantly.

"Boy Lu, why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Grandpa Lin said unhappily.

It was obvious that he was a little uncomfortable with the boy seeing his embarrassing situation.

"Hehe, I was so engrossed in listening to you two elders talking about the past that I didn't have the heart to interrupt you." Lu Hai chuckled.

With Lu Hai's intervention, the sadness in everyone's hearts naturally eased a lot.

"No, you took so long to come here and you are still silent. You have to drink a glass of wine first," said Lin Guodong.

"That's right, young comrade, you are being unkind. Aren't you just trying to make us two old men look bad?" Yan Zhenguo echoed.

Seeing this, Lu Hai smiled awkwardly, then filled his own glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Are you kidding me? How much alcohol can I drink?

I've practiced that!
