Chapter 80 Wedding Banquet
What about the next scene?
That probably has to point to the cooks' stoves in the temporary greenhouse.
Because in our country where “food is the most important thing for the people”.
In fact, there is no scene that can better reflect the content and aesthetic taste of our people’s lives than fireworks on earth.
Among the colorful, classified and piled up like a hill are the fresh ingredients of onions, ginger, garlic, various vegetables, chicken, duck and fish.
One of Master Liu's apprentices has already begun to print the red word "hi" on a basket of freshly baked white flour steamed buns.
Another apprentice was also taking out bowl after bowl of freshly steamed "Yuanyang Kou".
It won’t take long for these two things to be placed on the table in the room where the banquet is to be held.
After drinking enough tea, Master Liu also put on his apron and picked up a large iron pot. He began to heat the pot and add oil, and he was ready to show his skills seriously.
Just listen to the sound of "stab", and the stove fire rises!
Everything here indicates a prosperous and prosperous life!
It was only then that the camera actually turned to the main house.
The old couple of the Bian family were all wearing decent new clothes at this time, and they were busy in the crowd very ably.
They were talking and laughing with their relatives and friends, counting the time together, waiting for the return of the wedding team.
But I don't know why. Aunt Bian looked at the bright and stretched blue sky outside the house, then at the big red words "Happy" on the window, and then at the relatives, friends and neighbors who kept saying auspicious words.
Suddenly, my nose felt sore and tears flowed.
Fortunately, amidst the astonishment of the room full of people, there were Aunt Mi and Aunt Luo who understood the old lady's heart.
These two old neighbors can understand her feelings as a mother.
So one of them handed over a handkerchief, and the other supported her and comforted her, making Auntie Bian's eyes red.
Aunt Luo muttered that it was not easy for Aunt Bian to raise her two sons in the past few decades.
Aunt Mi also persuaded her, saying that now the bitterness has come to an end and the sweetness has come, and she finally got over it.
Aunt Bian quickly corrected her, saying that she still had a second son.
Aunt Mi smiled and said that Aunt Bian was better than herself.
At this moment, the critical moment finally came.
Suddenly, I heard children shouting outside the door, "The new daughter-in-law has entered the alley, the new daughter-in-law has entered the alley!"
So in an instant, everyone in the house cheered.
Uncle Bian looked stern and immediately stretched out his clothes.
Aunt Bian was a little stunned, as if she couldn't believe it.
It was still under the joint urging of Aunt Mi and Aunt Luo.
The old lady was convinced of the truth of the good news and quickly wiped away the remaining tears on her face.
In this way, the old couple of the Bian family, surrounded by a group of people in the house, went out with indescribable excitement and happiness.
Outside the courtyard, Luo Guangsheng, the eldest son of the Luo family, and Ning Weimin drove in slowly, facing each other, two "Huhai" brand cars decorated in colorful colors.
Rolling cigarettes together with Double Happiness, we lit up the firecrackers.
The small sleeping car at the head broke through the bombardment of firecrackers and stopped slowly behind the entrance of the courtyard.
A newlywed couple, the Luo family's eldest daughter-in-law as the bride, and the other's aunt as the "bridal wife" all got out of the car one after another.
Mi Xiaoran and Mi Xiaohui met together again at this time and began to sprinkle colorful confetti on the newlyweds' heads.
The clothes that the groom, Bian Jianjun, wore today were given to the staff by Ning Weimin, and he was wearing an elegant navy blue people's uniform.
His head and face were also neatly cleaned up by the barber shop master.
All of this made him, a bathhouse boilerman who had always been unkempt in public, show a rare heroic spirit.
This boy also greeted his acquaintances with a proud look as never before.
Although the bride Li Xiuzhi has an ordinary appearance, she is also dressed slightly conservatively.
There is no red in the clothes all over the body, except for a red velvet flower with the word "happy" in her hair and a little light lipstick on her mouth.
But in full view of the crowd, she followed closely behind the groom without missing a step, her head bowed silently, her blushing face, and her uneasy expression.
It still made her show the unique gentleness and beauty of Xiaojiabiyu. This naturally caused the onlookers to boo and make the bride call her parents before she was allowed to enter the courtyard.
With Bian Jianjun’s repeated encouragement, Li Xiuzhi finally plucked up the courage to call her dad and mom in public.
Uncle Bian was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear, and Aunt Bian agreed crisply.
Then the old lady took Li Xiuzhi's hand affectionately and introduced the guests behind her one by one.
At this moment, there was nothing but warm cheers and applause.
Luo Guangsheng and Ning Weimin also cooperated tacitly again, picking up a whip with a 10,000-character head and lighting it.
Soon, the firecrackers exploded violently on the ground again, and the golden snake twisted like a wild dance.
The crackling sound drowned out all the politeness and conversation.
All you can see are smiling faces talking affectionately, walking together and filing into the courtyard...
Once inside, the formal ceremony is actually very simple.
It was nothing more than the leaders of Tsinghua Bathhouse reading out the marriage certificate as witnesses in front of everyone.
Then the newlywed couple served tea to the uncle and the aunt in front of everyone and bowed.
Since then, the status has been officially decided.
Next, of course everyone will be cheered.
Many people are clamoring for the couple to talk about their love history and perform a little show like eating apples.
And just when the newcomers are blushing and their hearts are beating, and when everyone is laughing and having fun.
Uncle Bian stepped forward in time and said a few polite words, which smoothed things over for his son and daughter-in-law, and put an appropriate end to the excitement.
The old man’s meaning is very simple. He is generally grateful for everyone’s care and help in organizing.
He said that their eldest son, Jianjun, has now become an adult and married a wife. For this, the old couple must thank him.
Nothing else, today I invited Master Liu from Ruibin House to take charge of the dish. Please enjoy it! Eat well and drink well!
How valuable this gratitude is!
Needless to say, of course the big guy has to cheer again and again.
As the applause and cheers dispersed, the judges realized that it was no longer difficult for the newcomers.
Each one found his or her place under the arrangement and went into the room to sit down.
At this point, the quality of the dishes at today’s wedding banquet has replaced everything else and has become the focus of everyone’s attention and discussion.
A total of six tables were set up for the Bian family's banquet today.
Uncle Bian has two tables in the room for the old couple and one table in the room for the newlyweds.
This is the home venue for entertaining a new couple of leaders, relatives and classmates.
There are also three seats set up in Kang Shude’s cabin and Mi’s house, so it’s naturally an away game.
Used to entertain other neighbors in the courtyard and ordinary colleagues of the bride and groom.
It must be said that Master Liu showed off his skills on this day, and the dishes at the wedding banquet really lived up to everyone's expectations.
First of all, the dishes are well arranged.
Every table has hot and cold dishes, a total of twelve dishes.
Cold meats include luncheon meat, cold yuba, shredded chicken cold skin, and spiced quail eggs.
Hot dishes include Yuanyang Kou (taro meat), sweet-scented osmanthus meat, race crab, fried diced chicken with soy sauce, dry croquettes, shrimp in tomato sauce, tiger skin knuckles, and chestnut cabbage.
The staple food is two large plates of Xizi steamed buns.
In addition, the "Five Star Beer", "Polar Bear" soda, and the sufficient Red Star Erguotou that have been chilled with cold water early in the morning.
This meal can be said to fly in the sky, run underground, and swim in the water.
Of course, it is incomparable to thirty years later, but the problem is how scarce supplies are these days.
The ticket system has not been abolished yet, and it is already very difficult for ordinary people to get these.
The most critical and important thing is that Master Liu's craftsmanship is truly superb, and it is a craft that is truly passed down from master to apprentice.
