The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 172 Let's Go and Grab the Bride
seven thirty.

Chen Yuan and his friends had just finished their meal, Tang Ying, Xu Juan and others had not yet cleared the table. Chen Yuan was preparing to talk to Chen Li about his thoughts after today's investigation.

As a result, Zhou Jianming and Zhou Lin walked into the yard.

"Oh, I'm still eating."

Zhou Jianming's hearty laughter was heard first.

"Haha, still eating. Have you two eaten yet? Let's eat together."

While the table was not yet cleared, Chen Jun stood up and greeted everyone, as there was still food in the pot.

"Eat, eat, you guys just eat, no need to call us."

When Zhou Jianming saw Chen Jun was about to ask Tang Ying to prepare the meal, he quickly waved his hand and said.

"Okay, we won't be polite. Come and sit down."

Tang Ying didn't hesitate, as everyone should have eaten by now.

She brought a stool for the two gentlemen, asked them to sit down, and then cleared the table. Xu Juan and the others also stood up to help, and they cleared the table in no time.

"Smoke, smoke."

Zhou Jianming came over, took out a cigarette and started smoking one.

Chen Yuan took the cigarette, then he and Chen Li poured a few cups of herbal tea and brought them to the table.

"Where's my sister-in-law?"

Chen Yuan handed Zhou Lin a bottle of iced cola.

The older generation sat at a round table and they sat next to them. It has been like this since childhood, the older generation chatted about their things and the younger generation played their games.

"I'm sending her back to her parents' home today, and I'm going to pick her up tomorrow."

After all, they haven’t gotten married yet, so the woman must stay at her own home.

"How are the preparations going?"

Chen Yuan handed a bottle of Coke to Chen Li, but his sister refused to take it, so he unscrewed it and drank it.

"I'm almost ready, but there are some things I want your help with, so I came over to discuss it."

Zhou Lin chuckled, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Marriage is a big deal. It's up to you whether I can help or not."

Chen Li and Zhou Lin have a good relationship.

The same goes for Chen Yuan.

He still remembers the funny things that happened when he was a follower in childhood and Zhou Lin helped him out in school. Since Zhou Lin came to ask for help, he would definitely help if he could.

Even if you can't help, you have to find a way to help.

"Haha, there are a lot of things I want to ask you for help with."

Zhou Jianming took over the topic.

"Uncle Zhou, you can talk about it. Let's discuss it together."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, Chen Jun meant the same thing. The two families took this opportunity to resolve their previous minor conflicts, so there was definitely no reluctance to help.

Besides, children’s marriage is a big deal, and we may need to ask Zhou Jianming and others for help in the future.

"Didn't Xiaolin go fishing for crucian carp before the old pond opened? I think that parasol is pretty good. I want to borrow it for my wedding day. Do you have any extra ones?"

Zhou Jianming didn't hesitate and started talking about business.

"That's no problem. I'll see if we can build a tent to make sure the seats aren't too hot."

Chen Yuan said with a smile.

It is not something that most people can sit through during the dog days of summer to enjoy a banquet.

However, the parasols at Chen Yuan Fishing Ground are really good. With the properties of being warm in winter and cool in summer, there is enough space for people to sit down even at noon. With the addition of large fans, it is guaranteed to be not much different from indoors.

"Haha, thank you very much, but parasols are enough, and other venues have wedding set up."

Although setting up a banquet in the village would make the village lively, the wedding guests still had to be invited, and since the bride had made this request, it naturally could not be saved.

"Also, regarding the cooking, if the fishing ground can arrange it, I would like to ask Xu Juan to help cook for the banquet tomorrow night."

The marriage custom is not to just have a meal on the wedding day. The man's side has to hold a preparatory banquet the night before and invite close relatives and friends who help to dine together.

"No problem. Starting from tomorrow night, Aunt Juan will be in charge of Brother Lin's wedding banquet. Auntie will go over to help when she is free."

Chen Yuan thought about it and nodded in agreement.

During the opening event of Laotang, the meals at the fishing ground mainly consisted of boxed lunches. Although there were side dishes, judging by the proportions over the past two days, it would be enough for just one group of Auntie and Liu Fang.

"Thank you very much. Come over for dinner tomorrow night."

Zhou Jianming thanked him repeatedly.

Although this matter had been discussed in advance, Xu Juan is an employee of the fishing ground after all. If Chen Yuan does not let her go, there is really nothing that can be done.

"There is one more small matter. We are holding a wedding in the village, so the wedding room must be in the village. I would like to ask Xiaoli to help decorate the wedding room. After all, there are not many young people in the village."

Zhou Jianming looked at Chen Li.

"No problem, I'll go over and take a look tonight."

Chen Li agreed immediately.

"There's one more thing that might be a bit too much."

Zhou Jianming felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

"Uncle Zhou, tell me about it."

Chen Yuan sat down at the round table naturally and handed cigarettes to the elders.

"It's just that we're short of manpower for the bride reception."

Zhou Jianming took the cigarette and smiled awkwardly.

"Wow, the bride pick-up staff hasn't been arranged yet, bitch, what are you doing?"

Chen Jun criticized him.

The older generation also has the habit of giving people spoof names, and Zhou Jianming's generation name is Jian, so this word was used to take advantage of it. Calling him a pariah doesn't sound nice, so they just called him a bitch.

Picking up the bride is a big deal, but it hasn’t been done the day before. What’s going on?

"Everything has basically been arranged. His uncle will come back to preside over it."

Zhou Jianming said quickly.

In fact, Zhou Jianming has two older sisters, and both of them live in the city. The child’s uncle is also there, so there will be no problem for him to lead the team to pick up the bride.

But here there is a custom of not asking the uncle to go to the bride's house to pick up the bride. After all, calling him "uncle" sounds like a betrayal and is considered unlucky.

Therefore, the person who leads the bride's reception can only be someone with a higher status in the family.

"It's just that the brat got married too suddenly, and didn't choose any holidays as the wedding date, so there are too few relatives of his generation at home, and his classmates and friends can't spare the time. As for the bride, they only found six bridesmaids."

Zhou Jianming continued.

"The bride-grabbing team doesn't have enough manpower?"

Chen Yuan understood when he heard this, and smiled at Zhou Lin.

The word "bride kidnapping" is purely a joke. It means competing with the bride's bridesmaids, or the bride's friends, and trying every means to take the bride out.

Therefore, in informal occasions, it is called bride kidnapping.

"There's still one missing. After thinking it over, it seems that you are the only one who is suitable. How about, come with me to grab the bride."

Zhou Lin looked at Chen Yuan, raised his head and smiled.

"Xiao Yuan, take care of your schedule. If you can't spare the time, don't force yourself. Let's go back and look for other people."

Zhou Jianming followed up with another sentence.

He knew that Chen Yuan was very busy. Now that the old pond was open, the two ponds received more than 300 people every day, and the whole family was busy from morning to night.

And Chen Yuan is still the backbone at the helm, so it is normal that he really can't make any arrangements.

Everyone looked at Chen Yuan, including Chen Jun and Chen Li. Although they wanted to help, no one made a decision for Chen Yuan at this moment.

"Marriage is a big deal, Dad. I'll leave Xiaotang to you."

Chen Yuan did not hesitate and agreed immediately, then looked at Chen Jun.

"Don't worry, leave Xiaotang to me. It's not like I haven't done it before."

Chen Jun lit a cigarette with a smile.

It was a good thing that Chen Yuan agreed. After all, Zhou Jianming brought Zhou Lin to his house, and marriage was not a trivial matter, so he had to help if he could.

He is very familiar with Xiaotang and has been busy from morning to night, so there will be no problems.

"me and you togather."

Chen Guo said while smoking.

Whether it was the start of night fishing in Xiaotang or the opening of Laotang, Chen Guo was not responsible for the withdrawal of night fishing, but if manpower was really needed, he would definitely come.

"There are a bad couple in Xiaotang." Chen Jun waved his hands. The only one missing was Chen Yuan. There was no shortage of manpower.

"Sister, Lao Tang, please help me. It's mainly about the scheduling of picking up and dropping off guests."

Chen Yuan looked at Chen Li arranging the old pond.

When Zhou Jianming talked about this, he understood and made a decision in his heart.

If there was any other way, Zhou Jianming and Zhou Lin would definitely not come to him. After all, everyone in the village knew how busy the fishing ground was. Since they had asked, they had to help.

It’s not like there’s no other way.

Besides, Zhou Lin has a good relationship with him.

"I'm OK."

Chen Li’s response was concise.

Although she had just returned, these things were nothing to her, and she was the one who had been scheduling these two days, especially today.

When Chen Yuan was out for a day, she was in charge of the retreat and change of venue, and everything was in order without any trouble.

"There's also the issue of parking. Brother Lin will definitely have a lot of friends and relatives coming to his wedding. Although there are a lot of empty spaces in the village, it's best to plan ahead, otherwise it's easy to get confused."

Don't let the time come when customers from the fishing ground stop by and people from the wedding party come over, it would be too troublesome to go back and forth.

"That's no problem. I've seen where you parked your car. We'll arrange other places here when the time comes. Besides, the fishing grounds open early, so there shouldn't be any conflicts."

Zhou Jianming must have arranged these things long ago.

Chen Yuan felt relieved after hearing this.

After discussing some more details, Zhou Jianming and Zhou Lin went back. Before leaving, they gave several packs of cigarettes and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Chen Li was about to ride her bike to check out the bridal chamber decor, but was stopped by Chen Yuan, who told her to talk about the children's playground first and they would go there together later.

Dad and the others also left and went to do other things.

"Oh, you also researched the children's playground market?"

Chen Li was a little surprised.

"You thought I was just going out for fun."

Chen Yuan rolled his eyes.

"How is the children's playground market?"

Of course Chen Li was just joking, and then she started talking about the market for children's playgrounds.

The brother and sister talked for a long time, ranging from projects to pricing and how to attract customers, and finally went to Zhou Jianming's house while chatting.

While chatting, I decorated the wedding room with Zhou Lin.

During that period, Zhou Lin also made many suggestions. The most important one was that Zhou Lin's aunt opened a children's playground, so they could talk about it when they went to pick up the bride.

It was already past ten o'clock when we left Zhou Lin's house.

Chen Yuan took out his phone and called Wang Tao.

Then I jumped on the tricycle and asked my elder sister,
"Wang Tao and I are going to the square to take a look. Do you want to come with us?"

Since you agreed to help build the shed, you must do it.

"You guys go ahead, I'll go check out the project, and then we'll be over at Laotang."

Chen Li waved her hand and rode her tricycle to Laotang.

Like Wang Tao, she hopes to speed up the project progress, complete the construction of the hot spring water park and indoor children's playground as soon as possible, and start business at the end of summer.

Chen Yuan rode his tricycle to the village square.

It is called a square, but in fact it is just two acres of vacant land that have been flattened and paved with cement. Village meetings used to be held here, and it attracts the most people when movies are shown.

I remember that the big trees nearby were full of people.

The hustle and bustle of my childhood is gone forever, and now all I do is let the villagers dry their grain.

"Boss Chen~"

Soon Wang Tao came over on a tricycle.

"Come and take a look at this vacant lot. We're going to hold a wedding here the day after tomorrow. See if you can put up a sunshade."

Chen Yuan called Wang Tao over, lit a cigarette, and pointed to the empty space in front of him and said.

"Wow, holding a wedding here in such hot weather, you must be crazy."

Wang Tao took the cigarette and complained.

It is summer now, and it is the hottest time of the year. The temperature outside at noon is at least 40 or 50. If we crowd here for a wedding and a meal, I'm afraid everyone will get heatstroke.

"So I'm asking you to build the shed. If that doesn't work, I'll order some parasols."

Chen Yuan rolled his eyes at Wang Tao, then lit a cigarette.

“How big will it be?”

Wang Tao shrugged, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

"About 20 or 30 tables."

Chen Yuan asked Zhou Jianming and others.

Because the banquet is held in the village, there are many villagers, plus the bride's relatives, so there will be an estimated 30 tables. If it is held in the city, there will definitely be fewer villagers, so it may be less than half.

"That's no problem. Boss Chen, please place the order in the system. I'll take care of the shed."

This is such a small thing, it can't even be considered a project.

"Okay, I'll place the order and you'll deliver it tomorrow. Then a wedding planner will come to build the wedding stage and you'll cooperate to build the shed."

Chen Yuan called up the system to place an order on the spot and asked Wang Tao if he needed anything.

"Being not."

Wang Tao thought about it and shook his head.

Chen Yuan was not surprised.

I just spent a million points, enough for Wang Tao to build for a few days.

After chatting with Wang Tao for a while, Chen Yuan said hello and went back. As soon as he got home, he saw his father sitting in the yard preparing vegetables. His mother was not there.

He should go to rest, after all, it is almost eleven o'clock.

"Still busy."

Chen Yuan went over to light a cigarette.

"You have to go pick up your bride tomorrow, Xu Juan has to cook, and your aunt will have to go over to help after she's done with her work. There will be a few people missing at the fishing grounds all of a sudden, so prepare whatever you can in advance. Anyway, there's nothing else to do right now."

Chen Jun shook his head and didn't take the cigarette. Now his hands were full.

"Have you told Aunt Juan?"

Chen Yuan brought over a small stool and helped peel the garlic with the help of the light.

"It's already been agreed. I'll be there to help at noon tomorrow."

"It starts at noon?"

Chen Yuan was a little surprised.

"The people who drive the car, pick up the bride, and take the video all have to come to eat at noon. There are so many people. Do you think getting married is easy?"

Chen Jun chuckled.

On the surface, getting married means the man goes to pick up his wife and eats and sleeps with her, but in fact, there are many things to do, much busier than running a fishing ground.

"Getting married is too much trouble."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

"You have to get married no matter how troublesome it is. Are you going to get married if it's too troublesome?"

Chen Jun glared at Chen Yuan. This idea was a bit dangerous.

"When I get married in the future, I will definitely not go through so much trouble. We can travel together to get married and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland. How romantic it is."

Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Let's find a girlfriend first. We're still a little short of that, so we're just thinking about getting married and traveling."

Chen Jun shook his head speechlessly.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. By the way, Dad, if the fishing ground is too busy, you can ask Wang Tao to help. He is also a member of the fishing ground anyway."

Chen Yuan quickly changed the subject, as any further conversation would bring up his story.

"I know. Don't worry about the fishing grounds."

Chen Jun nodded.

The two gentlemen chatted while sorting vegetables and peeling garlic.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Yuan called out to go to Laotang, and Chen Jun also went to Xiaotang to prepare to leave.
