Chapter 256 The Eve (Revision)
After some cooking by the old man, Guo Shanfeng’s internal organs including the poison glands and other places were removed.
Only the entire snake body and a huge snake egg are left. The rest can be dispensed with, but the egg is an indispensable part.
After Mr. Zhang cleaned it many times, he put it into the big jar passed down from Zhang An’s family.
Pour fifty kilograms of white wine in, plus the prepared medicinal materials that Zhang An brought over, almost filling the jar of Zhang An's house.
After closing the plug, this mountain breeze can be regarded as resting here forever.
To be able to keep company with so many medicinal materials, and to take baths in white wine every day, I think it was a well-deserved death.
After all, many old drunkards can’t do it even if they want to be with so much alcohol.
Master Zhang’s recipe was passed down to him by his former master.
The snake wine brewed in this way can dispel rheumatism.
You should know that in mountainous areas, most people suffer from rheumatism due to the living environment.
You may not feel it when you are young, but you will realize it deeply when you get older.
There are even some more serious people who have been devastated by rheumatism at a young age.
Zhang An has a cousin named Zhang Zhengyang, who is only in his mid-twenties.
He suffers from very severe rheumatism. It doesn't matter when it doesn't hurt, but it will kill him if it hurts.
Because a few years ago, when he went to show others the warehouse, he slept directly on the ground many times.
At that time, when I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I was fine. Now, after I got married and had children, I was torn apart by rheumatism.
Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.
I just mentioned Zhang Zhengyang, but when Zhang An came home, Zhang Zhengyang was at Zhang An’s house.
"Anzi is back. I heard them say, are you a Tiaoshanfeng, or a Mangzi?"
Seeing Zhang An come back, Zhang Zhengyang didn't say anything else and started asking directly.
Mangzi refers to snakes, but generally a very large long insect must be called Mangzi.
As soon as he asked, Zhang An knew that he was here for the wind passing through the mountain.
After all, he always has all kinds of medicinal wine and snake wine at home, and he usually doesn't let anyone go.
Knowing that Zhang An made a big deal, I definitely want to get it back and soak it up.
“That’s right, Brother Zhengyang, he beat a big mangzi weighing more than six pounds.”
“Then Anzi, if you’re of no use, just give it to me, you know "Brother You, I can't live without this thing."
Zhang Zhengyang knew that Wang Fang was afraid of worms, and Zhang An would definitely not keep this thing at home if he caught it.
He thought that if Zhang An didn't cook it at home, he must have given it to someone else, so he asked for it.
Of course, if he could get it, he would definitely exchange it for something.
After all, such a big python is still a top poison king. Even its corpse can be sold for dozens of dollars.
Last time, a man in the village picked up a five-step snake and sold it to a Chinese medicine hall for forty yuan.
"Brother, that fool is soaked in the wine jar now. If you come here early, I will give it to you."
If Zhang Zhengyang comes to ask for it when he comes back. , Zhang An would definitely give it to him directly.
Although it is said that soaking this thing can be considered as a precaution, for Zhang An, it is also considered dispensable.
But at this moment, Mr. Zhang is obsessed with it, and he can’t give it even if he wants to.
“Hey, someone else wants to leave first. It seems like I am unlucky.”
Hearing Zhang An say this, Zhang Zhengyang looked disappointed.
He thought that Zhang An had already given it to someone else, so he couldn't continue to ask for it.
After all, he is not the only one who needs this thing, many people can use it.
"It's not like giving it away. I took it to the second grandfather and let him soak it up."
Zhang An could naturally see the disappointment on Zhang Zhengyang's face.
“I brewed fifty kilograms of white wine today. After the second grandfather has brewed it, you can just go over and pour a few kilograms.”
Zhang An just started from Wang Xinhua's family bought fifty kilograms of liquor for brewing, and almost filled the ancestral jar.
After making so much wine, it doesn’t matter if you give some away to others.
Although Zhang An has space, after soaking it and putting it in the space, it can be kept forever.
But if it is left there all the time, then the wine will not have any effect after it is brewed, and it will be the same as if it has not been brewed.
Although this snake wine can not only dispel wind and dampness, but also have a nourishing effect of relaxing menstruation and activating blood circulation.
But when it comes to strengthening the body, relaxing menstruation and activating blood circulation, this snake wine is not as effective as Zhang An’s Huangjing wine and Gastrodia wine.
So if anyone is in need, Zhang An is also happy to share some with them.
"That's it, then I'll go find the second master to help him."
When he learned that Zhang An didn't give the mangzi away, but made it for himself, Zhang Zhengyang immediately changed his face.
And Zhang An also said that Mr. Zhang made the wine, which made Zhang Zhengyang even happier.
Although he has been drinking wine for many years, he still spent money to find a recipe.
But really speaking, the effect is not as good as Mr. Zhang who has been doing herbal medicine for half his life.
"Boy, have you tried the Baicao Fengchao medicine sold by the old man in town? They all say that the medicine is very effective in treating rheumatism."
Baicao Fengchao medicine, In fact, it is called Baicao Zhuifeng Pill, which is not a Western medicine.
It is a pill made by an old man in the town using earthwork.
The ingredients are all kinds of herbs, which are then processed by him into small yellow oval-shaped medicine pieces.
I heard that it is specially used to treat rheumatism and pain, and there are quite a few people going to buy it in the nearby villages and towns.
"I bought that medicine last year. It worked a little bit the first few times, but it won't work after taking it a few more times."
Although Zhang Zhengyang is young, his rheumatism symptoms are worse than those of older people. A little more serious.
So he had tried this Baicao Zhuifeng Pill before when he heard about it.
Maybe others find it useful because the symptoms are mild, so it is more effective.
Zhang Zhengyang sat at Zhang An's house for a while and then got ready to go home.
Before leaving, he took fifty yuan out of his pocket and handed it to Zhang An, saying it was his drink money.
Of course Zhang An wouldn't ask for it. The money for fifty pounds of liquor is just a drop in the bucket for him.
But Zhang Zhengyang didn't care, he left the money on the stool and he left.
. . . .
Time flies, and it’s the end of September in a blink of an eye.
On the morning of the 30th, after Su Ying finished her class, Zhang An sent her back to the city.
The day after tomorrow is the wedding day. As a bride, Su Ying must go back to her parents' home in advance to prepare.
When Zhang An sent Su Ying back, Su Ying’s grandparents, grandparents, and some relatives had already arrived at her home.
After Zhang An passed by, he was led by Wu Qiuping to recognize a circle of relatives and call out a circle of people.
As for Su Ying's sister and brother-in-law's family, they probably won't come over until tonight or tomorrow.
Zhang An returned home in the afternoon and found several uncles and aunts at home, as well as Zhou Yang, Huang Ming and others.
Zhang Jianzhong and Zhou Yang are the best cooks in the village at cooking pots and stoves.
Usually the two of them are responsible for purchasing large banquets in the village. One of them is Zhang An's cousin, and the other is Zhang An's childhood friend.
So at Zhang An’s wedding this time, Zhang An didn’t even need to speak, they would definitely come to help.
Although the day after tomorrow is the wedding day, which is also the main dinner.
But starting from tomorrow, Zhang An’s family will start to put the table on the table.
Because starting from tomorrow, guests and relatives will come one after another.
Setting up a table is also a good way to entertain relatives and friends who have come in advance, and it is also convenient to invite everyone to come and help.
So tonight, Zhang An will call them all over and start discussing what vegetables to buy and what to prepare.
The things here are not simple, it is very cumbersome to do, so hosting a banquet is very tiring.
But because Zhang Jianzhong and Zhou Yang are in constant contact with each other, it is not difficult for them.
As long as Zhang An’s family sets the general direction, they can solve the rest.
After spending a few hours, the two chefs decided on the menu for this banquet.
Early the next morning, Zhang Ping drove Zhang An’s car, and then Li Hongbin also drove his pickup truck.
Zhang Jianzhong took Zhou Yang and a group of others to the city to purchase goods.
Although you can buy it in many vegetable towns, it is a small place after all, so you don’t have to choose even if they are sold.
So they simply didn’t go to the town, but went directly to the city.
Because there is a farmer's market in the city, you can buy everything you want, and you can still have a good selection.
Anyway, Zhang An and Li Hongbin both have cars, so going to the city will only take some time.
Although the ingredients, vegetables, etc. have not been purchased yet, they are in a corner of the drying yard.
Second Master Zhang has already led several old men from the village to set up a fire stove.
As long as there are tables in the village, they are usually placed directly on the drying ground, and even the kitchen is set up with a tent there.
As for Zhang Tie and his friends, they didn’t go around to play today.
Instead, he took his friends and helped everyone move the tables, chairs and benches.
It was almost noon, and everyone who was responsible for going to the city to purchase items had also completed their tasks.
Coming back with two carts full of ingredients, even the lobby of the village committee office was used by Zhang Jianwen to place things.
As Zhang Jianzhong and Zhou Yang led the villagers to work in the kitchen, they began to prepare food.
The relatives in Zhang An's family who were far away from each other also arrived one after another.
In fact, Zhang An’s family doesn’t have many distant relatives, that is, the aunts in Fourth Master Zhang’s family.
There are also some immediate relatives who have moved out of the village. They are worried that they will not be able to catch up tomorrow, so they came here early today.
Most of the remaining relatives live in several nearby villages.
You can come whenever you want. This is very good. The Zhang An family doesn’t have to worry about accommodation.
In the afternoon, Chen Ze, Ding Yi and Fatty Lu also came over.
Because tomorrow morning, they will accompany Zhang An to get married.
They must come here to prepare first today, after all, they will start setting off before dawn tomorrow.
At Zhang An's house, Wang Fang, Zhang An's aunts, and a group of women from the village began to clean up the room.
Everyone held scissors and red paper in their hands, helping to cut out the big red word "hi".
Although Zhang An's wedding room had been decorated a few days ago.
But the festive red characters "hi" are indispensable whether it is on the wall, door or window.
In the yard downstairs, with everyone watching, Zhang and his party took a wolf hair in their hands and began to write the wedding couplet on the cut red paper.
Zhang Yixing's handwriting is very good. Even people who don't know calligraphy will feel comfortable reading it.
Chang Qing Although not many people can write calligraphy with calligraphy, there are still a few who can write well.
But among these people, none of them can keep up with Zhang Yixing. After all, they have been practicing for decades since they were young.
And this is Zhang An’s big day. As Zhang An’s godfather, Zhang Yi Xing will do his part to handle the wedding.
"Zhang An, congratulations."
When posting the couplets in the afternoon, Wu Zhonghai came with his family.
"Teacher Wu, you are here."
Seeing Wu Zhonghai, Zhang An introduced him to his family.
When Zhang An was in school before, he was never invited by his parents.
Zhang Jianguo has only been there several times during parent-teacher meetings.
So he was the only one who knew that Wu Zhonghai was Zhang An’s class teacher in high school.
But now there is Zhang Jianjun, because now Wu Zhonghai is also Zhang Bin's class teacher.
In the past few semesters, he has also attended several parent-teacher meetings.
"Okay, okay, go ahead and do your work. You don't have to worry about me today."
Although Wu Zhonghai only knew Zhang An's father and Zhang Bin's father, this was enough.
Knowing that Zhang An was very busy today, Wu Zhonghai asked Zhang An to entertain others after saying hello.
After he went to the ceremony table to hang up a gift, he was taken aside by Zhang Jianjun and started chatting.
In the evening, Dong Jingzhi and Zhong Chengyuan also came with their families one after another.
What Zhang An didn’t expect the most was that Zhu Yuliang also came with them.
It wasn’t that Zhang An didn’t invite him, but that Zhu Yuliang was not at home when Zhang An went to invite him.
After Zhang An got along with each other for this period of time, and with Zhang Ping in the middle, he and Zhu Yuliang were considered acquaintances.
When inviting people some time ago, Zhang An learned that Zhu Yuliang was not at home and had gone to the provincial capital for a meeting.
And this meeting lasted a long time, Zhang An thought he would not be able to come back soon.
I didn’t expect that he would come along on this day.
And everyone in the village looked very envious as they watched the cars driving past the entrance of the village.
On the one hand, I was envious of the number of people driving in. On the other hand, I sighed, Zhang An is incredible.
When we were getting married, all the friends who came came in their cars.
Although it was not a formal dinner at night, there were quite a lot of people.
Half of the drying area was filled with tables. Huang Ming led a group of young people carrying square plates back and forth to serve food.
After having enough wine and food, there was nothing left for Zhang An to arrange.
Zhang Jianguo has already arranged the accommodation for the relatives and friends who are coming today.
Besides watching TV, there is no other entertainment at Zhang An’s house in the evening.
Dong Jingzhi and Zhong Chengyuan, who came with their families, naturally chose to go for a walk by the river.
The few left alone, Fatty Chen Zelu, grabbed Ding and his wife and played mahjong in the yard of Zhang An's house.
Until evening, everyone closed the stall early and began to prepare for rest.
