Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 301
In the words of rural people, if an old man who can live to be over 90 years old has not done good deeds in his previous life, how can ordinary people live so long and be so energetic?
Grandpa Zhang Tao also changed into a new set of clothes this day, and accepted the birthday presents from several juniors beaming with joy.According to the usual practice, a large pot of Changshou noodles is served in the morning, and then each person eats in a bowl with two poached eggs.

It means that the birthday man will live a hundred years and live a full life. This custom has been passed down and is often seen in southern Shonan, where birthdays are also calculated according to the lunar calendar.

People like Zhang Tao's grandfather and his generation don't calculate their birth year according to the Gregorian calendar, not even the year.Generally, it is called the Republic of China how many years ago, Zhang Tao's grandfather was from before the Republic of China.

The process of the family's birthday celebration is first Zhang Tao's parents, this is the son, and then Zhang Yong and Zheng Shuang salute Zhang Tao's grandfather together, this is the eldest grandson.

Zheng Shuang is now the default daughter-in-law of Zhang's parents, and even Zheng Shuang's parents came here to celebrate his birthday this time.He didn't say anything about his daughter celebrating the elder's birthday with Zhang Yong.

After all, these two people have already been engaged, and they will get married after graduation.The development of Zhang Tao's family in the past few years made Lao Zheng more and more admired, and his family could not keep up with Zhang's footsteps.

The members of Zhang Tao's family also made him feel at ease, they were all kind people.I get along very well with the neighbors and villagers, and my family is also very harmonious.

Zhang Yong himself is also a good boy, although he is a bit reluctant to give his daughter to Zhang Yong, but this place also reassures the couple.In such a family environment, my daughter will not be wronged by following Zhang Yong.

Because Zhang Tao's father is the son-in-law, their family was the first to celebrate the birthday.Then from the inside to the outside, the other three were lined up from the oldest to the youngest, with the adults first, followed by the juniors.

After the members of Zhang's family celebrate their birthdays, they will be outsiders, and Lin Sheng is the first one.His family is the closest to Zhang Tao's, and he is also older.

Comrade Lao Li came from behind, and his whole family rushed over from the city.It was not very convenient for the old man to show up. He lives in the bay now, and came here early, chatting casually with the blind man sitting in the room inside.

Comrade Lao Li took his family to the room after celebrating his birthday, and Lao Xie also came. To Zhang Tao's surprise, Jiang Jing and his father also came.

After celebrating the birthday, Jiang Jing explained to Zhang Tao that he was asked by the elders in the family, more because of the status of the old man, Zhang Tao's grandfather's [-]th birthday was just a reason.

Zhang Tao nodded after hearing this. The old man came here very low-key, and only a few people knew about his permanent residence here.It is really difficult for ordinary people to know that he is here, so Zhang Tao still believes what Jiang Jing said.

In fact, what surprised Zhang Tao was that not only Jiang Jing and his son came over.Even Li Qian and Qiu Ling, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, came with their father, presumably because they had something to do with the old man.

After all, these two families are of the second generation, and the elders of the family also have their own sources of information about certain things. The two of them were brought here only because they had a relationship with Zhang Tao as classmates.

They came relatively low-key, and went directly to the inner room to sit after coming.But Qiu Ling and Li Qian followed Zhang Tao, and the young people arranged for them.

Zhang Tao's parents and grandfather welcomed all the guests with smiles on this day, no matter who they knew or not, in fact, there were quite a few people they didn't know!
Regardless of where these people got their news, the visitors are guests, and it is not easy for them to reject others.At this time, I don't check some things, so I don't have to worry about holding a birthday party.

Cao Ming and his father also came over. Lao Cao has been waiting for this opportunity for almost a long time.Knowing Zhang Tao's grandfather's [-]th birthday, Cao Ming asked about Zhang Tao's family.

Cao Ming often played at Zhang Tao's house, and Lao Cao sometimes came to visit, and he knew Zhang Tao's house.Zhang Tao's parents have no objection to this. For the old man's birthday banquet, they still maintain the idea that the more people there are, the more lively and prosperous they used to be.

So there was no objection to Lao Cao's coming. Lao Cao immediately pulled Cao Ming over, but he was not allowed to enter the house inside, which was not a high-grade place.

Many other leaders of the town came, and some cadres from other nearby villages also came. They all got rich together with Huangpu Village, and they must come to this kind of banquet.

After all the guests arrived, more than 200 tables were set up for this birthday banquet. The scene was really lively and grand. No one in a radius of tens of miles could hold such a big birthday banquet.

Fortunately, there are enough helpers, tables, bowls and chopsticks, as well as enough wine and food. After guests come, just add tables and bowls and chopsticks, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing.

Zhang Tao himself even ordered a month's worth of songs and TV shows for his grandfather's [-]th birthday at the TV station in the city. It didn't cost much anyway, but it could be seen by everyone in the city.

In my previous life, I used to watch others celebrate my relatives’ birthdays or order TV shows for my friends’ weddings on TV. Now it’s my turn to enjoy this kind of treatment. I feel—very cool!
It's a pity that the provincial TV station doesn't have this service, otherwise Zhang Tao would be forced to spend some money to go to the provincial TV station to promote it well, and enjoy the enviable treatment that the people of the whole province pay attention to.

"Xiaotao, come here." The birthday banquet is only at noon, which is the custom here.Continuous banquets are only available during weddings and funerals, and ordinary banquets do not have this standard.

The people who came over after the meal had a rest and said hello to the host family before leaving.For Zhang Tao and his aunts, there are other relatives who have a good relationship, and they have to prepare to return gifts. These are some customs here.

Lao Li and the others didn't leave, but chatted casually in the living room on the second floor.Jiang Jing's father, and Qiu Ling's and Li Qian's fathers were all there, chatting casually with the old man.

After the old man came here for a few days, his complexion recovered well. Compared with when he first came here, he was much more energetic, and he was full of breath when he spoke.

Seeing that Zhang Tao was about to go to his study, Comrade Lao Li immediately called Zhang Tao over. It might be better to ask Zhang Tao about what they were discussing. This guy always has unexpected ideas.

"Xiao Tao, the city now wants to publicize the situation in our city. How do you think it should be publicized better?" Li Qian, Qiu Ling and the others also came up with Zhang Tao at this time. A little surprised.

Zhang Tao frowned immediately after hearing this. It was the first time he met Li Qian and Qiu Ling's father, so he didn't really believe it.It doesn't seem very good for Lao Li to ask him to talk about these things at this time, right?
"Hehe, it's okay, you just say it, these are people who have believed." Old Comrade Li seemed to know what Zhang Tao was worried about, and said to Zhang Tao with a smile.

Several other people in the room were looking at Zhang Tao, even the old man was looking at Zhang Tao at this time.Although he has lived here a few times, he doesn't know much about Zhang Tao than his son.

Seeing that his son valued a little guy's opinion so much now, he was curious what Zhang Tao would say for them to see.

Over the years, the city has vigorously promoted this place every year, whether it is scenery or humanities.Every year, I will show my face on Yigetai, which will bring more popularity here.

The content cannot be repeated every year, which also caused the city TV station and the Propaganda Department a headache.How can there be so much content to promote, so these people have no intention of talking about this and just chatted casually.

Over the years, they have tasted the tourism and economic benefits that the propaganda has brought to the city. Even if they can't think of it, they have to come up with something, otherwise the city's economy next year will still depend on tourism.

"In recent years, we have almost dug up humanities and scenery here. Now, can we consider food?" Zhang Tao looked at the old man and said nothing. After thinking about it, he tentatively replied.

"Food? The food here doesn't have any special stories. It's all popular snacks. It doesn't feel like it's on the stage."

The few people in the room frowned after hearing Zhang Tao's words. It's not that they haven't thought about food, but they really don't have any particularly famous food here.

What kind of tributes from the ancient court and imperial food are too far away from them.Some foods with beautiful legends are just fine, as if they are completely out of hand.

"I don't need any food with a special story, just use our daily food. For example, it's Chinese New Year now, just shoot some New Year's food production process, add some dialogues and folk customs into it."

Without even thinking about this kind of subject matter, Zhang Tao brought out a series of documentaries he had watched in later generations. That documentary was so famous that it was once famous both at home and abroad.

It's a bit overkill for them, but Zhang Tao doesn't have any good materials to use at this time. I'm afraid this will be the last version he can provide.

Seeing that the few people in the room still didn't quite understand, Zhang Tao talked about the content of the documentary he had watched in later generations, and explained the outline again.

As a delicious person, Zhang Tao watched all the seasons of this series at the beginning.The owners of restaurants in later generations, as long as the food is featured in this documentary, they will immediately publicize this thing.

With such a big publicity point, how could Zhang Tao not be familiar with that documentary, and even remember the general content of each episode clearly.Talking about the things inside is straightforward and very smooth.
