Dressed as a blacksmith

On the day of the wedding banquet, Qiao Yuan got up before dawn.Making Huamo is delicate and time-consuming, so it needs to be prepared in advance. Yu Dameng also got up to help him when he heard the movement.

For a wedding banquet, it is natural to make mandarin ducks play with water flowers, and the main colors are red, green and yellow.

The red color is red yeast rice, which can be bought in seasoning shops in the city. Da Chu mostly uses this egg for weddings.Green Qiaoyuan chooses spinach, add some water and mash it to get green juice.The yellow pumpkin is easy to use. It can be steamed and then pressed into puree and noodles.

After a while, the rest of the Yu family also got up, Meng Qiu helped make the noodles, Lin Cuifen prepared the batter for making hair cakes today, Father Yu was on the sidelines, Yu Xiangxue took Liu Geer to help remove the red date pits, Yu Shanwen and Yu Shanwu were alone Keep a fire on the hearth.

The whole family went out together, talking and laughing, Qiao Yuan felt warm in his heart.

After the dough of all colors was ready, Qiao Yuan borrowed scissors, a small wooden comb, and a small spoon to knead a flower for decoration, and the others were stunned.

"Why is this so similar?"

Yu Xiangxue even studied it together, and praised: "My brother-in-law, you are really ingenious."

Meng Qiu looked at him adoringly.

Qiao Yuan was so embarrassed that he was praised.

Lin Cuifen and Meng Qiu followed suit for a long time, but they finally came up with a four-dimensional image, which made Yu's family laugh out loud.

When the Xiyanmo was completely finished, the others were speechless.

The base is in the shape of lace, with many small red and yellow flowers on it and the words "Hundred Years of Love and Forever Together". On the base are a pair of lifelike mandarin ducks. Embellished with the Chinese character "囍", leaves and vivid fish, the color scheme is very beautiful.

After a while, Lin Cuifen finally said, "I knew I shouldn't have given her away for free."

Qiao Yuan smiled, "Mom, we are doing publicity."

Lin Cuifen said distressedly, "Oh, this is so beautiful, I don't want to part with it."

Brother Liu also nodded heavily, expressing his agreement.

Qiao Yuan pinched his little face, made a little rabbit for him, and joked, "I'll give you this for breakfast later."

Brother Liu couldn't put it down holding the little rabbit, and immediately shook his head to object when he heard the words, "You can't eat rabbits!"

Qiao Yuan: "..."

Is it because bunnies are so cute?

The Yu family has a large population, and after steaming the cakes, it didn't take long for them to be packed and ready.Father Yu took Yu Dameng and Yu Xiangxue to the village chief's house to send them off, and went there to help, while the others began to wash and dress up.

Qiao Yuan is wearing a moon-white dress today, which is very elegant and chic.Lin Cuifen wore the new crimson dress that Qiao Yuan bought for her. Qiao Yuan even praised how beautiful it was several times, and Meng Qiu also agreed with her embarrassingly.

The happy Lin Cuifen couldn't keep her mouth shut, her children are filial, and her husband is also filial. She just feels that life can't be more comfortable than now.

If you don't see Xu Xiuhua's mother and daughter as soon as you enter the gate of Zhao's house.

The mother and daughter don't know what's going on in their brains. When they saw Qiao Yuan, they looked arrogant, and they couldn't open which pot or lift which pot, "Oh, Yu family, why don't you see me?" Second daughter-in-law?"

Lin Cuifen was so angry that she wanted to hit her with broom bumps again.

Meng Qiu was dumbfounded. He didn't have much time in the village, so he didn't know who this person was, but she could ask such a question, and it seemed that he was looking for trouble.

Qiao Yuan saw that she was wearing the blue dress he bought for Qiao Wang before, and she almost laughed stupidly at her.He took a step forward and said with a smile: "Uncle, I think the clothes on you look familiar?"

Xu Xiuhua's expression changed, but she still pouted and said, "I bought this from a tailor shop in the county town!"

Qiao Yuan smiled, "That's a coincidence. On the day I returned home, I bought the same one for my grandma. Aunt Zhou, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Qian in this village all helped out under the big tree at the entrance of the village that day. I've seen the dress."

Xu Xiuhua never expected that other people in the village knew that Qiao Yuan had bought clothes for Qiao Wang, and had seen the clothes.After Qiao Yuan and Yu Dameng left that day, she went to the East Wing where Mrs. Qiao Wang lived to see what gift Qiao Yuan had given her. She saw two sets of Mrs. Qiao's clothes and a pack of cakes, and she was immediately annoyed. Hop, this little bastard just doesn't want her to be exposed!

But she took a closer look at the fabric and style of the clothes, and immediately fell in love with them. Qiao Guangzhi didn't stay at home all year round in the county, and the youngest at home had to study. She hadn't bought new clothes for a long time.Although the color of this dress is a bit old-fashioned, it is new after all, and the style is still in fashion nowadays, so she took the blue-colored dress without looking at Qiao Wang's face.

She thought that even if Qiao Yuan could recognize him today, she wouldn't dare to say anything according to his soft-tempered temperament.And no matter who would believe it, Qiao Wang would deny it for the sake of his son and grandson's face.

But she didn't expect this to happen, and she was struck by lightning immediately.

There were also a lot of people watching the fun today, and those who had good things asked the three people Qiao Yuan had just named for confirmation.

Qiao Yuan only ordered these three aunts just now, so he knows it well.Qiao Guangzhi works as a small steward at the docks in the city, and usually invites the men from the village to work at the docks to make money, but these three families don't rely on this, and because of Xu Xiuhua's personality, they had a feud with her.

Sure enough, as he expected, Aunt Zhou stood up immediately and said: "There is indeed such a thing. Brother Yuan bought two pieces that day, one is dark blue, and the other is what Qiao's family is wearing today." this."

Aunt Wang and Aunt Qian also stood up to prove it.

Xu Xiuhua blushed so much that she wished there was a crack in the floor for her to crawl in.

Qiao Yingying on the side also felt very ashamed, gave Qiao Yuan a hard look, and dragged Xu Xiuhua away in a desperate manner.

Qiao Yuan was speechless, Qiao Yingying's typical "can't sleep and complained about the crooked bed", she hadn't settled with her last time when she blamed Yu Dameng, and now she dared to stare at him.

Yang Guizhi, Zhang Wensheng's mother in the crowd, also died of embarrassment, thinking that sooner or later this marriage should be resolved.

Zhao Gensheng's wedding banquet can be regarded as a major event of the marriage between the two villages.The village heads of Xianhe Village and Wangjiawan Village are very popular.Today, the chiefs of more than a dozen villages near Xianhe Village came, and there were even some gentry and landowners.

Lin Cuifen took Qiao Yuan and Meng Qiu to meet with many villagers, and Zhao Gensheng came back after a while.

In such a lively scene, Qiao Yuan still saw Yu Dameng who was also helping to greet his relatives at a glance.With Yu Dameng's tall and burly figure, when outsiders see him, they will subconsciously feel that he is terrifying and dare not look directly at him, but Qiao Yuan always feels that he is in a daze, as long as he sees him, he will feel better.

After the bridegroom got off the sedan chair, Yu Dameng finally had time to come up to Qiao Yuan and say a few words.

Qiao Yuan's eyes were crooked, his brows were clear and bright, and he could only ask him softly, "Are you tired?"

very pleasant.

Yu Dameng's ears were a little red, and he couldn't help leaning closer to Qiao Yuan, "Not tired."

Taking advantage of the gap when everyone's eyes were focused on the newcomer who was paying homage, Qiao Yuan gently pulled Yu Dameng's hand and smiled at each other.

Earlier, when Yu Dameng sent cakes to the village chief's house, he also sent the wedding buns with mandarin ducks playing in the water.The more the village head Zhao Deshun looked at it, the more curious he became. As soon as the banquet started, he couldn't wait to bring out the wedding bun to help his son earn face in front of his father-in-law.

The elders of the several tribes are already old, and they have seen many scenes. They stroked their beards and looked around Huamo for a long time, admiring again and again, "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Other village chiefs and landlords also found it strange, and asked Zhao Deshun one after another: "Where did you get this?"

Yu Xiangxue, who was accompanying him, cupped his hands and replied, "It was made by my third brother's husband."

As soon as the words came out, people in the village looked at Qiao Yuan one after another, and saw that he was wearing a moon-white outer shirt today, which was very elegant and chic, and his whole person was quite different from his usual clothes. There is also a demeanor.

Qiao Yuan smiled faintly, not afraid of everyone's eyes at all, walked forward from the crowd and bowed his hands and said: "It is indeed what the kid did."

"What is this made of?" Someone asked curiously.

This flower bun focuses on the kneading technique, and there is nothing to say about the raw materials.Anyway, you can taste it after eating it, Qiao Yuan replied: "The color selection is red yeast rice, spinach and pumpkin, all of which are edible."

The man thought for a while, and praised: "My little brother is so ingenious, and this flower bun is very suitable for the occasion."

Qiao Yuan went on to say: "Today is a wedding banquet, so I chose this mandarin duck to play in the water. If it is a birthday banquet, you can use longevity peaches. When the child is full moon or during the New Year, you can use it as a tiger to drive away evil spirits. In short, every happy event always has the appearance of the occasion."

One person asked anxiously: "What do you mean, brother, you can make other patterns?"

Qiao Yuan nodded, "As long as the color is not too complicated, you can specify the painting. I dare not say that it can be reproduced [-]% of the time. It is still safe to make an [-]-[-]% image."

When the others heard it, they were even more admirable, "Miaozai, Miaozai."

Then he turned his head and teased Zhao Deshun to cut it open for everyone to taste, but Zhao Deshun resigned, "Are you willing to destroy such a beautiful scene?"

It made everyone laugh heartily, and the atmosphere of the wedding banquet became even more exciting for a while. Aunt Zhao beside him couldn't be happier. The more she looked at Qiao Yuan, the better she felt.

Father Yu and Yu Xiangxue were called to accompany him to drink. Yu Dameng, who couldn't drink and was stupid, could only help serve food for others. If he couldn't eat, he couldn't drink.

Qiao Yuan felt that the food in his mouth was not delicious at all, and his eyes followed Yu Dameng's figure serving the food and ran around the place. When Yu Dameng finally came to his table, Qiao Yuan secretly said to him: "Go back and give it to you. Make it delicious."

Yu Dameng nodded in embarrassment, Qiao Yuan looked at him and wanted to tease him again.But after all, it's not suitable here, Qiao Yuan couldn't bear it, but secretly scratched Yu Dameng's palm when receiving the food from Yu Dameng.

On the other side, Zhang Wensheng, who had been watching Qiao Yuan for a long time, was full of unwillingness and jealousy.
