Four cold dishes, six hot dishes, Lian Manman thought this was about right, and she called Lian Yeye to help with the fire. Lian Manman and Lian Zhizhi then got ready to fry the dishes.
In the eastern room, Old Master Lian somehow managed to send Lian Shouli away after talking to Zhang Qingshan and invited the Lizheng and a few others back. He announced that since there wasn't much to the family division, they would finish it before lunchtime.
When Wu Yuchang arrived, he even brought two carp with him.
Lian Manman thought for a moment that the standard of the meal needed to be raised a bit; the dishes she had set earlier were almost right, only the quantities needed to be increased. Adding the two fish and frying more food should be enough. In a rural family's banquet, having fish, meat, and fried foods was considered top-notch.
