Chapter 39: Lu Shan's sadness
The day before the banquet, the front yard of the Lu family was already full of large and small household items, all of which were the tools to be used for the next day's wine. Among them, bamboo products are the majority, and the most eye-catching is the bamboo steamer that is two meters high and half a meter long in diameter.
There are also bamboo round bags, bamboo baskets, large wooden pots, bowls and chopsticks borrowed from various families, and so on. Lu Shan has never seen these things, and she feels very strange.
She stood next to Chef Zhu, who specialized in the village's banquet, and watched intently as he built a brick-shaped stone stove for the giant bamboo steamer, so the stove was not small.
"Shanshan, you're going to get married tomorrow, aren't you nervous?" Chef Zhu is a fat old man of fifty years old, usually smiling happily, his wife gave him a total of three sons, and none of them have a daughter, so he likes Lu Shan, who looks soft and weak.
"Huh." Lu Shan smiled and didn't speak.
Say what? Say she's not nervous at all? Although she did give herself psychological construction in this way, in fact, she still felt a little nervous in her heart.
After all, tomorrow is the day when she will hold a banquet, that is to say, she will officially leave the Lu family tomorrow and become a member of the Ye family.
Although she and Ye Gang had already obtained a marriage certificate, in the village, what they looked at was not the red book, but whether there was a banquet. In the countryside, holding a banquet is equivalent to proving to everyone that she and Ye Gang are husband and wife, and she is the daughter-in-law of the Ye family.
Although the process of holding a banquet is not as complicated as in ancient times, and marriage requires a church or the like, it also represents a kind of ceremony, just like going to a church to hold a ceremony when getting married abroad, which is not higher than but deeper than the law.
Therefore, Lu Shan was able to live in Lu's house before, also because she and Ye Gang had not made wine, and they went to live in Ye's house without wine, which had a very bad impact on Lu Shan.
After listening to Chef Zhu's jokes, Lu Shan pretended to be shy and went back to the house.
There are a lot of people who come to help the Lu family today, including diligent women, honest men, and naughty half-grown children, all of whom are busy in the small courtyard of the Lu family, making the originally small courtyard even more crowded.
Although the dishes for the banquet must be much richer than usual, at least white rice and pork, Lu Shan still feels a little sad when she thinks about it, especially when she sees several poorly dressed children gathered around Chef Zhu, looking at the cauldron that has not yet been erected, and her eyes show a strong desire.
It should be the same as her, craving meat, Lu Shan thought to herself.
She can now understand the mood of this group of children, because she is already going crazy for thinking about meat these days!
There are still a lot of snacks in the space warehouse, and it is still possible to satisfy the appetite. But when she really integrated into this era, lived with her grandparents and brother who loved her, and then let her eat meat, but her family couldn't even smell the slightest smell of meat, she really couldn't do it.
People's hearts are full of flesh, and now she no longer wants to go into the space alone to eat alone.
Therefore, if you want to eat meat and improve your food, you still have to rely on her force value and her space, and she must go up the mountain!
But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, these days because of the preparation for marriage, Grandma Lu has been taking her by her side, and she has not found the opportunity to go into the mountains to catch pheasants.
She looked at the various ingredients piled up in the corner of the room, this is what Grandpa Lu has ordered Lu Jue to buy in the past few days, among which there are most vegetables, but there is meat, except for pork, which accounts for most fatty meat, fish, cattle and sheep should not be thought about. Chickens and ducks are still kept in the backyard, and they will be killed later, but there are not many of them, only five chickens and ducks.
Tomorrow, the Lu family will set up about twenty tables, just five chickens and ducks...... How to make this dish is really embarrassing Chef Zhu!
As for why she didn't kill pigs for a banquet, Lu Shan didn't have any hope for killing pigs as long as she thought of the little skinny pig in the pigsty in the backyard who was not as tall as her. The Lu family has few children, Lu Shan and Lu Jue have been going to school before, and there are only two people in the family, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, and it is unrealistic to feed many pigs. Therefore, the Lu family feeds at most one pig a year, and before the Chinese New Year, they sell the fat pigs, except for such and such expenses, the rest is only enough to buy a piglet.
"Grandma, I see that the weather is good, and I want to go to the mountains!" Lu Shan walked around the house, and after planning the next action, she went out and said to Grandma Lu who was washing vegetables in the backyard.
"What are you doing in the mountains?" Grandma Lu asked without replying.
"I'm going to pick some fungus and see if I can pick up two pheasants. I'm going, grandma! Without waiting for Grandma Lu to refuse, Lu Shan hurriedly ran out of the door.
The women who were busy in the courtyard saw Lu Shan go out, and no one thought she was lazy and didn't work.
In Baili Town, the daughter who is about to get married is not allowed to do any work the day before the wedding. Because this represents her mother's love for her, she understands that after she arrives at her mother-in-law's house, she can no longer be as free as she is in her mother's house.
