A pork vendor, surnamed Wang, in eastern China’s Zhejiang province said the boss of a local company, surnamed Qian, commissioned him to prepare food for his daughter’s wedding banquet in April.

Wang said he dedicated himself to the task as he had known Qian for more than a decade.

He provided the pork, contacted seafood vendors in another city in Zhejiang and bought premium ingredients such as king crab, Australian lobster and leopard coral trout.

The wedding was during China’s May Day holiday, meaning the price was a little higher than usual.
