After taking a nap, Zhou Ziwen had to do something.
The mutton and rabbits returned from hunting in the morning need to be processed.
Especially the two legs of lamb, he planned to make them into hams so that they could be stored easily.
As for the rest, the lamb ribs can be made into cured ribs, the hare can be made into bacon, the pork belly can be made into jars of rice noodles...
Zhou Ziwen has superb cooking skills and is good at handling meat. There are many ways to do it, so you don’t have to worry about running out of food and spoiling it.
While he was processing the meat, Chen Shiying also ran out to help.
Zhou Ziwen is good at craftsmanship and has many tricks, and Chen Shiying also learned a lot from him.
The men and women worked together, so the work was not tiring. It didn’t take long for them to finish processing all the meat.
After working so hard for a while, it’s almost time to get off work.
Then they began to clean up the battlefield. After finishing these things, it was time to finish work.
"Let's go, let's go have a meal."
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Ziwen called the others to go out together.
When they went out, Zhou Ziwen and the two sisters went empty-handed.
Their gifts have been sent out at noon, but Shen Zhaodi and the others brought a lot of things.
Zhou Chaoyang brought two kilograms of flour and a bag of brown sugar.
Shen Zhaodi brought a bundle of vegetables, two kilograms of rice, and a few eggs.
Tang Yaoyao also brought flour and a few eggs.
Well, they all exchanged their eggs for Zhou Ziwen.
Zhou Ziwen has a lot of egg-laying chickens at home, and he usually can't finish them all. Most of them have been replaced by Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao.
Starting from home, they quickly arrived at Chen Xiuqin’s home.
Well, this time Chen Xiuqin and Song Chengbing got married, and the banquet was held at Chen Xiuqin's home.
Song Chengbing lived in the Educated Youth Institution and did not have his own house. The two of them discussed it and decided to live with Chen Xiuqin.
Including Song Chengbing, he will also live in Chen Xiuqin’s house in the future.
Although in this way, Song Chengbing seems to have become a door-to-door son-in-law, but they are all educated youths who have gone to the countryside and do not particularly care about this issue.
Chen Xiuqin was generous and spoke directly. From now on, this house will belong to Song Chengbing, and Song Chengbing will be in charge of their family.
In this way, some people's mouths were blocked in advance.
"Ziwen, Chaoyang, Comrade Chen Shiying...you are here, please come in."
Seeing Zhou Ziwen and others, Song Chengbing and Chen Xiuqin came forward.
“Haha, congratulations.”
“Yes, we are all old friends, don’t be so outspoken.”
...
Zhou Ziwen and his party entered the room chatting and laughing.
The other talents in the production team had just finished work, and Zhou Ziwen and the others were the first ones to come.
When they arrived at the place, they were not idle. Girls like Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi ran to the kitchen to help.
There are only two people, Chen Xiuqin and Song Chengbing. Without help, it would be impossible to cook meals for so many people.
In this case, they, the guests, all help together.
The two men Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang were not idle either. They chatted for a few words and then helped to set up the venue.
They got married. Although no one from the village was invited, there were many people from the Educated Youth Institute.
Together, the old and new educated youths totaled seventy or eighty people.
No matter whether the relationship is good or not, but living in the same educated youth home, everyone will look up and not look down. When someone gets married, as long as the other party invites them, even if they are enemies, they will come to the door openly at this time.
People live with a face, and you can't lose face at this time.
Of course, there are also those who don’t care about face, and may never interact with each other until they die. Not long after Zhou Ziwen and the others arrived, people from the Educated Youth Institute also arrived.
Everyone consciously brings their own food rations. The richer ones will also bring some other food, and some will also give a red envelope as a gift. Thirty-five cents is not too little, sixty-eight cents is not too little. There is no such thing as too much hair.
As more and more people from the Educated Youth Institute came, the place quickly became lively.
The female educated youth helped with the cooking, while the male educated youth were responsible for arranging the tables and benches.
If you don’t have enough things, go to someone else’s house to borrow them.
Zhou Ziwen and others who built their own houses outside were the first to bear the brunt.
For those of them who live outside, only eight or nine tables are enough for each family.
Zhou Ziwen had two at home, and borrowed a few more from other people's homes, and the scene was set up in a short time.
There is strength in numbers, and the girls cook quickly.
The several pots were busy working together, and the meal was ready in a short time.
As a celebrity among the educated youth, Zhou Ziwen was praised by other educated youth, and the level of attention was no less than that of today's newlywed protagonist.
However, Zhou Ziwen had no intention of overstepping his authority.
While eating, he sat with the educated youths he knew well and talked about the lives of educated youths and the gossip in the village, but everyone agreed not to talk about national affairs.
Be careful with your words and deeds, as misfortunes may come from your mouth. This is the lesson learned by people.
Before dinner, Chen Xiuqin and Song Chengbing held a simple wedding ceremony.
They stood in front of the leader’s portrait and swore an oath amidst the blessings of everyone.
Everyone clapped and applauded, and some were still booing.
After the simple and lively wedding ended, the banquet also began.
Chen Xiuqin's family situation is good, and Song Chengbing is usually frugal, but he also saved some money. This time they got married, each of them used part of their savings to throw a beautiful banquet.
Braised pork, twice-cooked pork, boiled fish, and Zhou Ziwen’s gifts, a pheasant and a hare, plus the mutton bought from Zhou Ziwen, there are six meat dishes alone.
With the addition of a few more materials, the eyes of the educated youths shone brightly and their saliva almost flowed out.
After the banquet started, everyone didn’t care about anything else and just took the meat into their mouths first.
In this era, meat is a good thing. The fatter the meat, the more everyone likes it.
Especially the kind that is full of oil, even if it doesn't taste very good, it still tastes delicious.
Zhou Ziwen is relatively reserved. He eats meat every day, and there is no shortage of meat for every meal.
And he was also grabbed by Chen Shiying. He didn't even bother to grab ordinary-tasting dishes.
After everyone has finished eating, the next step is to drink and chat.
This is the busiest time.
Some female educated youths also drink a little. When they are happy, they gather together in small groups to chat. When they are happy, they will also perform dances and sing their favorite songs.
At this time, the male educated youths no longer cared about drinking, and looked at them intently.
Although some female educated youths are not beautiful, they are better than young. Their youthful and youthful atmosphere is always so moving.
Especially for some male educated youth who have been in the countryside for several years, staying in the countryside is almost like being a monk.
They look down on the women in the village. They look down on them, but others look down on them.
Sometimes, after staying in the countryside for a long time, these male and female educated youths become a little restless.
Some people also talk about love.
But after talking, we never heard about getting married.
Don't ask, it means that the parents haven't agreed yet, the discussion time is too short, and they want to wait for a while.
Some of them have talked about it for a while and have blown it off.
Of course, most of them are whispered without letting anyone know. (End of this chapter)
