Chapter 666: Full Moon Wine Ceremony
...
The day of Tong Yao’s child’s Full Moon Wine Ceremony came quickly. Fortunately, the Tong home was large enough to accommodate all the guests. Qin Xiaoshuang and her husband, Si Boyi, also brought their young son.
Lin Fengying had also clamored to come, wanting to visit her grandchildren, but Si Boyi had not agreed. On such a wonderful day, he did not want Lin Fengying to spoil the atmosphere.
Refused, Lin Fengying felt very upset but was helpless. She was unable to move around easily due to her leg problem, and without her youngest son’s approval, she couldn’t go anywhere.
On the day of Tong Yao’s Full Moon Wine Ceremony, many relatives and friends arrived. Zhang Lijuan looked enviously at the bustling scene.
"The difference wealth makes! Having the Full Moon Wine Ceremony at such a luxurious restaurant must cost a fortune! Even just one dish must cost dozens of yuan. Considering the size of this banquet, I wonder how much in gifts they need to receive to break even."
In our village, a wedding banquet only costs a few yuan per dish. Here, one dish probably costs as much as ten tables-worth of dishes at home.
Bear in mind that in the countryside, meat only costs eighty cents per pound, and a banquet dish doesn’t require many pounds of meat. If each guest brings a yuan as a gift and ten people sit at a table, that’s ten yuan in gifts. So, they could still earn a few yuan in profit.
Each dish at Tong Yao’s banquet must cost dozens of yuan, so how much in gifts would people have to bring for them to break even?
Si Boyi was also surprised. He shook his head, saying, "I’m not entirely sure, but I know dining at this restaurant is definitely expensive, the cost of one dish could match an ordinary person’s monthly salary."
