Early in the morning, there were people who had arranged for help to work early, built the stoves in each room, and added fire to the large boiler that borrowed water from the grain station.
Dai Dong's arrangement of marrying the carriage and horse personnel, etc., a sedan chair has already been built, the four-wheeled car bucket is made of old elm wood shelf, and the package of red silk and green satin is arranged, the top is covered with red silk, a big red silk flower is hung on the sedan door, and on both sides is a pair of happy couplets:
Autonomous marriage, husband and wife,
The eugenics plan is rich and the country is strong.
What time to get up and what time to go to the daughter-in-law's mother's house, what time to get on the sedan chair, what time to return to the sedan chair, what time to get off the sedan chair, what time to get off the sedan chair, what kind of direction to go out, which way to go, are all arranged by Yin and Yang. There is no delay in the slightest.
There are also relatives who cannot clash with newcomers, and the generation must be appropriate, and all the sons and daughters must be together, that is, the "four complete people": there are fathers and mothers, children and daughters, fathers and mothers-in-law, husbands and wives. The sedan chair should be the younger brother of the groom. The number of people who come from the other side adds up to an even number, and they come in pairs.
When the car and horses get up the sedan car, nine double cannons and a fun pavilion www.biquge.info burn represents a long time, after the "crackling" sound, three four-wheeled vehicles covered with red and colorful first go out of the gate to the west, and then a hundred steps later to the south to drive into the main road, and then turn to the southeast, go around to the bride's house, the car drives like an ant crawling. Originally, two families and one village, the distance in a straight line was not more than 100 meters, but now it is necessary to arrive at the bride's maiden house at three o'clock, and the car cannot stop on the road.
Along the way, the artillery battle was unleashed, and a group of children were followed in full swing.
From time to time, someone in the car threw a handful of candy on the ground, and the children were excited to pick it up all over the ground.
At three o'clock in the morning, the sedan chair went to the bride's house, removed the new clothes and the new red silk quilt to welcome the relatives, and the marrying personnel entered the table, and after a simple banquet, waited for the bride to get on the sedan chair.
The maiden girl is naturally simpler, and the table is lighter.
After everyone has eaten and drank, waiting for the bride to draw her eyebrows and sideburns, an old aunt helps to open her face (with a red thread, one end of the thread is in her mouth, one end is held in her hand, and the other hand is bent up to form a cross-shaped spiral, and the hair on the face is plucked out to open the face. It can be regarded as a yellow-haired girl who has officially entered the ranks of mature women. Then symbolically wash her face, and the bride throws "face washing money" (a few coins into the washbasin to the person who comes to wash the bride's face. After that, I have to wait for the bride to squirm and put on her new makeup and clothes, and she is red from the inside out, from head to toe.
Then he was wrapped in a red quilt, and his brother hugged him in a sedan chair at noon. The mother's family had to shed tears and say goodbye. The old lady can't send her daughter out, not even to see her off, but just wipes her tears with her back to the window.
After a few cannon shots, the married relatives shouted: "Get up in the sedan chair!"
The three cars drove back in a mighty way, without repeating the road, and went out to the east and went around again, and entered the door from the east of the gate of Tie Dan'er's house at noon.
When the car was still on the road, a large number of sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, and brothers-in-law had robbed the bride's clothes and dowry, and the shoes were gone.
When she got home, the bride was left with tight-fitting clothes that she couldn't take off, and she was only wearing socks. Tie Dan'er's mother put on the new daughter-in-law the sedan shoes that had been prepared for her. All of a sudden, someone rushed up to snatch it up. Some elders with high seniority have already warned: "This pair cannot be grabbed, and it can only be grabbed after worshipping heaven and earth, clan relatives, and parents." ”
Then, Tie Dan'er crossed the brazier with Fan'e, walked on the red felt, and walked towards the new house.
There was already a group of jokers blocking the door, asking for cigarettes and sugar, the bride was not allowed to touch the ground from the door of her mother's house to the foot of the new house, so Tie Daner has been holding the bride to support, after several times of bargaining, Dai Dong was busy handing over good cigarettes, coaxing away the little uncles, and took out a lot of sugar to sprinkle it in the yard, everyone Hula went to grab the sugar, Tie Daner only carried the daughter-in-law back to the kang and put it on the new quilt that had been prepared.
Before the carriage got up, Tie Dan'er's family had already eaten the breakfast banquet - pastry milk tea was served.
The kitchen masters began to prepare for steaming cakes, it is not easy to steam four or five yellow rice cakes, and it is not easy to steam four or five yellow rice cakes, and a few young men add gouache to hundreds of catties of yellow rice noodles early in the morning, and after a period of time, they have to toss once, until all the yellow rice noodles are powdered, and begin to rub the ground one by one, and rub until each handful of noodles are not moistened before steaming cakes.
The kitchen was originally the west room where grain was stored, but now it has been turned out and built a big stove. The "Huotou Army" had already put a large iron pot on the stove where the original agricultural society made a big pot of rice, and began to boil water to prepare the steamed cake.
The one who set up the fire below was an uncle and brother, who was born with not very good eyes, congenital cataracts, and couldn't do anything else, and he was extremely naughty!
Pieces of coal produced in the Ordos coal mine were added to the stove, the water was immediately boiled, and the large steamer that was matched with the big pot of rice was put on the steamer, and in the steaming steam, several people began to sprinkle the cake noodles into the steamer, and it was steamed while sprinkling. A few minutes later, the golden vegetarian cakes were released one by one.
The next few young men made cakes, and everyone was bare-handed, and they were scalded by the freshly hatched cakes and screamed "wow".
The surface is made with home-grown rapeseed oil, and if you can't use water, it will be even hotter!
called the three aunts and six aunts in the village to pinch the cakes, and they all had to be like fifteen moons - round and full. There is also an ingots cake wrapped in bean paste - rich and rich.
Before the pinched cake is cold, the canola oil pan on the stove is ready.
The cakes are like ducks in the water, all golden and dazzling. When the cake was fried, the bride also took it back.
The newlyweds changed into their ceremonial clothes, came to the door, knelt on the red felt that had been prepared, and Dai Dong said "Worship heaven and earth!" The two kowtowed.
"Second worship Gaotang!" the two kowtowed to their parents, who were sitting across from them.
"Husband and wife worship each other!" The two kowtowed to each other.
"Send it to the cave room!" Before Dai Dong's words fell, a group of people had already rushed up and grabbed it frantically.
Tie Dan'er finally escorted her daughter-in-law home, and her daughter-in-law was robbed of her coat and shoes.
Dai Dong shouted: "The newcomer enters the room, open the table!"
Seeing that relatives and friends were in place, everyone was busy.
First, the yellow fried cake is served, each table is served with a plate of sugar, and a cold salad of green onion and shredded potatoes.
After the cake is eaten, the main table begins.
First, sugar, cigarettes, and alcohol were served.
Then there are cold dishes, also called floppy dishes, a plate of white-cut pig ears, a plate of cold fungus, a plate of fried peanut kernels, and a plate of cold soybean sprouts, which are four cool.
After a round of tobacco and alcohol side dishes, it's time to serve a hot dish.
Also called hard disk, it is a delicacy that the recipient looks forward to, and it is also an opportunity for the owner to show that his family is well-off, and his reputation naturally spreads in all directions.
Tie Dan'er's mother has always been the master of eating bran vegetables behind her back, and the guests drink wine and eat meat. This time is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself, where will you let it go?
Other people's homes are all four soft and four hard, and Tie Dan'er mother wants to come with four soft and six hard, and she wants to be perfect!
The first hard dish is: braised chicken in oil, and Tie Dan'er's mother raises more than 50 chickens a year, all of which are used.
The second hard dish is lamb meat, take the semi-fat and lean lamb fat, add onions, carrots and shreds, stir-fry and add broth.
The third hard drive is: pork bowl noodles. Cook and color the pork belly of the pig, fry it, slice it and build a bowl, steam it in the basket when eating, and put it on a plate. Fluffy and fragrant, it is a delicacy for all ages.
The fourth hard dish is: braised carp, the fish is all frozen fish, and the taste is of course incomparable to fresh. However, people in the grasslands rarely see fish, and naturally they regard it as delicious.
The fifth hard dish is: grilled pork strips. It is made with pork tenderloin cooked whole, cut into 1 cm thick strips of meat and dipped in sauce, as for the ingredients vary from chef to chef. There are green onions in miso sauce, sweet and sour ones, and some directly on the braised broth.
The sixth hard dish is: hand grasp meat! A big bowl of fresh mutton on each table, without adding extra seasonings, eat the fresh, tender and refreshing mutton!
Everyone ate the plates, and they were already satisfied.
Finally, the stewed vegetables and white noodles are dim sum.
Most of them were taken up and taken down almost untouched.
Due to the limited space in the house, each banquet must be seated in three tables before it can be properly arranged.
Of course, the first and second sons are relatives and friends, and the first son is the closest grandfather and uncle, the bride's relatives, and the groom's marriage.
The three servants are the people who help the family and the helpers, and the helpers who have worked hard for a few days can finally sit down and eat a meal calmly.
In the evening, I have to call relatives who come from afar to have supper, which is to cook dumplings.
The three men sat down, and the leftovers were sorted and sorted together, and the three major aluminum basins were collected!
Not to mention that the neighbors came to share some leftovers, the days when Tie Dan'er's family ate leftovers lasted for a New Year.
A banquet at Tie Dan'er's family consumed two pigs, five sheep, and more than 50 chickens, not counting the fish and other vegetables, candy, tobacco and alcohol bought.
The gift money received was a drop in the bucket, but Tie Dan'er's mother was very happy - she finally broke her stingy name, and everyone praised Tie Dan'er's family for doing a good job.
The next day, the daughter-in-law wanted to return to the door, and even the relatives sent by the son-in-law to her parents' house together, so it was naturally lively again, but Tie Dan'er's grandmother's mother's family was poor, so she simply entertained the son-in-law.
My sister-in-law got married, the winter vacation ended, and Shandan and Mao Dan'er also started school.
Soon after returning to school, they heard that something big had happened.
