Chapter 223: Chapter 182: Xu Yang Enters the Underworld (Seeking Subscription)
Today is July 25th, Lunar June 7th.
Xu Yang felt a little nervous when thinking that he would be getting married tomorrow.
After breakfast.
Xu Yang contacted Yang Fan’s uncle to inquire about the situation at the farm resort.
“Master Xu, the farm resort was finished around 5 am this morning, and those ghost… workers just finished cleaning.”
Mr. Yang whispered on the phone, “Master Xu, do you think I should cook something for them? After all, there are hundreds of ghosts who have been working day and night for a few days. If I don’t treat them well, I’ll feel guilty.”
At this moment, Yang Wancheng was at his farm resort.
He looked at the completely renovated resort with a rustic appearance, which had a countryside feel on the outside and a “Tianshang Renjian” vibe inside.
Even the land around the resort within seven or eight hundred meters had been leveled by the ghosts, each plot neatly arranged, very orderly.
It was much better than his previous plan, completed in just a few days without spending any money on labor. However, facing the ghost workers, Yang Wancheng always felt uneasy, as if he owed them something.
If he didn’t do something in return, he feared he might have nightmares while sleeping.
Xu Yang laughed, “If you feel guilty, just burn some wages for them. I’m going to the shop later, you can arrange for someone to come and get it.”
Burn wages?
Yang Wancheng was taken aback.
But then he remembered that his nephew said Xu Yang was in this line of business, so he immediately drove into the city personally.
“Mr. Yang.”
“I’ve prepared the money for you.”
In the funeral shop, Xu Yang had already prepared two sacks of “underworld notes.” He said, “Now that the farm resort is built, we should talk about the wedding banquet. I don’t know much about this, do you have any suggestions, Mr. Yang?”
“Master Xu, leave it to me.”
Yang Wancheng laughed, “So…how many guests have you invited?
Approximately how many people will come? Leave the rest to me, and I’ll make the arrangements.”
How many people are coming?
Xu Yang thought about it and said, “There may not be many people coming, but there should be a lot of ghost friends… Mr. Yang, prepare plenty of ingredients, only the expensive and good ones!”
“Oh, and cigarettes and alcohol.”
Xu Yang continued, “All cigarettes should be Chinese cigarettes, make sure there’s a carton at each table…the ghost friends can’t smoke, but we’ll burn it for them on the spot. All alcohol should be genuine Maotai, at least three bottles per table!”
“Prepare for at least three hundred tables initially, and we’ll add more if necessary.”
Yang Wancheng’s heart raced as he listened.
He originally planned to take care of Xu Yang’s wedding banquet without charging any fees, just to develop a good relationship with Xu Yang.
But hearing Xu Yang’s request, he was panicked…
Three hundred tables?
According to Xu Yang’s requirements, just the alcohol and cigarettes alone would cost almost 4000 dollars per table, plus the expensive ingredients, it would be around 8000 dollars per table, which would amount to 2.4 million dollars for 300 tables!
His entire fortune was only about three or four million dollars.
This guy was really ruthless, so he gritted his teeth and agreed, saying, “Master Xu, don’t worry. I’ll arrange everything properly… I’ll contact the chefs first and let them come up with a menu. If you think it’s feasible, I’ll immediately arrange for the purchase of the ingredients.”
“Besides, with so many ingredients, cleaning and preparing everything requires a lot of manpower… I’ve accumulated some connections over the years running the farm resort and know some restaurant owners in the city, I can ask them for help!”
Yang Wancheng hurriedly left.
Meanwhile, Xu Yang prepared invitations and wedding candies, inviting some neighbors.
These neighbors were mostly old-timers who had been doing business here for over a decade. Grandpa was very familiar with them, and they had taken care of Xu Yang since he passed away…
For example, the owner of the hardware store next door, although she loved gossip, had cooked all three meals a day for Xu Yang during that time!
The neighbors were delighted to hear that Xu Yang was getting married.
The owner of the bun shop across the street even teared up, unable to help but say, “All, if old Xu were still here, how happy he would be to see this… He used to be most worried about you, and now you’ve grown up from a child to someone getting married!”
Xu Yang couldn’t help but think of his grandpa.
For a moment, he felt a wave of sadness.
Just then, a Land Rover parked in front of the funeral shop.
Wan Baolu, wearing a floral shirt, a tank top, and a purse tucked under his arm, got out with a casual look. He removed his sunglasses and walked up to Xu Yang, saying, “Master Xu, I heard you’re getting married? Congratulations!”
Xu Yang was surprised, as he hadn’t invited Wan Baolu. He asked curiously, “Mr. Wan, how did you know I was getting married?”
Wan Baolu said, “My niece told me.”
“Dr. Wan?”
Xu Yang was even more puzzled, as he hadn’t invited Wan Qian.
In fact, Xu Yang’s relationship with Wan Qian was purely that of a doctor and a patient. At first, Wan Qian saw him as a patient, and later her grandpa appeared in her dream, which Xu Yang had resolved.
Since then, they had no more interactions.
How did Wan Qian know he was getting married?
Wan Baolu laughed, “My older niece called me this morning, saying she had dreamt of her grandpa last night, and he said you were getting married…”
