After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

What Shui Qing wanted was for eleven men to get married together, which was equivalent to a collective wedding, especially since both parties participating belonged to their own families. Although it couldn't be made elaborate and grand, at least it couldn't be too shabby!

But let’s listen to Dani Zhou Yu’s plan first, “What kind of dishes did you plan to cook for the wedding banquet?”

Li Dani wiped the sweat from her forehead and spoke out the menu that the five people had discussed: "Madam, our in-laws are mingling with each other. I thought that when people come all the way, we will entertain each other regardless of each other;

There are more than a hundred people, and if the children don't occupy seats, twelve tables can be squeezed together to sit down. Each of our four families has three old hens and three fat rabbits, so that every table has a stewed old hen. Chicken soup, rabbit and two large meat dishes, then use eggs and goose eggs to make a dish, stir-fry a few vegetables, and the staple food is steamed buns or pancakes made of white flour mixed with corn flour. "

Shui Qing nodded while listening.

This dish is indeed the best one can produce for the four families, and Ding Ding does not treat each other lightly.

"Careful."

Li Dani rubbed her hands and said happily: "This is what you are willing to do, madam, otherwise we servants wouldn't be able to do it even if we have such a heart."

They couldn't afford it as servants because many families in the village couldn't afford it.

"That's because you are diligent." Shui Qing made the distinction very clearly.

Like rabbits, she just provides the cubs. They build rabbit nests, cut grass, feed them, clean rabbit nests, etc. They do the same for chickens, ducks, and geese. It’s just because they are diligent that they can take them out at once during weddings. Many.

There is also white flour rice. The quantity she gave is there. If you are greedy and greedy, you will have finished eating the fine grain first. Even if you haven't finished it, how can you be willing to take it out for others to eat?

Especially the in-laws whom I have never met before.

For example, Fan Dazhu’s family also has old hens, but they are only willing to keep them for themselves. They raise rabbits in front of them. As long as they use hens to exchange them, she has no objection, but they either don’t think it’s cost-effective, they don’t feel dirty, or they feel tired. , in short, it didn’t develop in the end.

When it came time to get married, he didn't even have any meat or dishes, but he still had to have a banquet. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to receive gifts. It had nothing to do with him whether the people who came would eat or not, and it was even better not to eat.

If a happy event is held like this, who would really want to go to the banquet?

Li Dani and the other five people knew clearly that this was not a matter of diligence or lack of diligence. They were also diligent in the past.

I worked so hard from early to late and only managed to get enough food and clothing. Now I am not as tired as before, but the life is completely different!

It’s so important to follow the host’s family.

By the way, "Madam, why don't you ask Feng Da and the others to catch some more fish and make them into fish?" This is also a meat dish.

"Okay." Shui Qing added: "There are at least ten people per table. Everyone came here overnight, and they are all farmers. They have a good appetite. An old hen, a rabbit, and a few stir-fried vegetables may not be enough;

Let's do this. My father will go to Fucheng to collect pig hair on the 15th, and ask him to collect more than 20 pig's trotters along the way, and add a dish of stewed trotters to each table;

Buy another pork thigh, stir-fry those vegetables with shredded pork to add a meaty flavor;

Buy more than 20 kilograms of tenderloin and make a sweet and sour tenderloin, which is sweet and sour and is loved by the elderly and children;

Slaughter another sheep and stew it with radishes, one for each table;

Add goose eggs and leeks to make a leek omelette; if you have eggs, you can make steamed eggs;

Rice is the staple food, and white flour and corn flour are used to make wedding cakes. I think you have made good friends with many families in the village, especially the men who go out together have different emotions. They will definitely come over to celebrate the occasion. We don’t care about the food or the gifts. , but sending a wedding cake is still necessary, what do you think? "

Most of the food in the village is brought by the whole family. If people from Zhulin Village cannot come, it is actually possible to invite the villagers to join in the fun. But with more than a hundred people, the villagers have no choice but to go. There is no way to entertain them, otherwise both parties will be easily neglected.

But regardless of whether you accept the congratulatory gifts or not, since everyone from the same village has come here, it is not considered disrespectful to give out a wedding cake.

Listening to Shui Qing's orderly words, Li Dani's eyes gradually turned red.

They all come from poor backgrounds, how could they not know that one chicken and one rabbit are not enough to eat? It's just that there's only so much that can be taken out - after getting married, the family still has to live.

We can only work hard on vegetables and cook more.

Madam added several meat dishes at once, and each dish was of sufficient portion. She also added meat to the vegetables, making it semi-vegetarian. This meal was better than ever before!

Even the problems that had been bothering them were solved.

They are friendly with many women in the village, especially those who work together in the workshop. They see each other every day without looking up, and the same is true for the men. The relationship between the partners who go out is naturally extraordinary. How can they not come to get married?

Even if you don’t accept gifts, you can’t just say hello when someone comes over. That would be too rude, but if you want to entertain someone, besides tea, what else can you give them?

The wedding cakes that Madam mentioned really solved their problems for days!

The five people replied in unison: "Madam, you are too considerate. Do as Madam said."

Shui Qing warned: "Okay, let's make the wedding cakes on the 15th. It won't be a problem to keep them for three to five days in this weather. Make more, otherwise it will be embarrassing if there are not enough by then."

"Hey, okay!"

They can't wait to start preparing now!

After the wedding banquet was decided, everyone in Shui Qing became busy.

First of all, there are not that many tables and chairs, and I only have seven at home. I first went to the village to make arrangements with people I know well, and I will borrow them for a day on the morning of the 16th. The four families are very close, so I borrowed them easily. At the same time, the village The Master knew that all the eleven men in Hong Mancang were getting married!

And on the 16th.

Earlier, Fan Dazhu was getting married, and the villagers were pretty good. Hu Wenhua had passed the betrothal gift, and people of the same age were a little anxious. Now, eleven men were getting married in the next two days, and they were even more panicked.

I wish my family could get married immediately, and there were complaints about being forced to get married!

Fan Xiaoliu was the first to bear the brunt and just looked forward to going out to deliver goods as soon as possible.

Mancang Manku did not feel the resentful eyes of his friends and continued to prepare for the wedding with high spirits.

Although there are not enough bowls and chopsticks, there is no need to borrow them from everywhere - at the beginning of the village banquet, each family brought bowls and chopsticks to eat. Later, when the middle-aged man had more money, the old village chief and a few elders took the initiative to purchase a complete set of stoneware pots. There are more than four hundred stoneware bowls!

Sister-in-law Guifen is responsible for the safekeeping. It has been agreed that more than 100 of them will be loaned out on the 15th and cleaned in advance for future use.

Early on the morning of the 14th, Feng Da and Feng Er took a wooden bucket to fish for fish. They caught more than 20 big fish and kept them in the pond, waiting for Shiliu to eat fresh ones.

At dawn on the fifteenth day, Butcher Hu took more than a dozen men to Fucheng to buy pork and other things.

Li Dani and others also got up early, kneading, kneading, proofing, and baking dough to make round and soft dough pancakes, each with a red dot in the middle, which was very festive.

Hu's mother Qin Yilin helped wash the dishes.
