Chapter 22 Shangliang eats a feast

The beam of the new house is a big deal, and Li Feng's family has been busy these days. Not to mention the food, Li Feng originally thought that it would be convenient to open a few tables in the restaurant, but in the end, Li Shan shook his head when he heard it, not to mention that it was inconvenient for thirty or forty people to go back and forth, and it was still unknown whether the food in the hotel would suit the taste. In the end, there was no way, so I could only say to the third aunt in advance, and Shangliang came to help that day.

Needless to say, the people of the village came early, the women helped wash the vegetables, cook the dishes, and were busy, and a few men set up the table of eight immortals in the courtyard. The weather is beautiful, the day is sunny, the noon is neither hot nor cold, and it is warm.

The materials, Li Feng had prepared them yesterday, and today is not easier than the day he started, and he did 6644. Six plates of cold dishes, ten plates of hot dishes, including six vegetarian stir-fried, four meat dishes, the last four soup dishes, four dim sum, and finally the staple steamed bun. Li Feng didn't know what to pay attention to, so he could do it with Li Shan.

On the day of the beam, fifty or sixty people gathered in the small peach forest, and there were about twenty children, watching the two big bamboo baskets hanging on the eaves.

There are treasures, candy, peanuts, walnuts, small steamed buns, and a piece of change in five corners. It is customary in the village to dye raw peanuts into five colors, and steamed buns are the size of walnuts, and the top is dotted, red, blue, and green. These were all steamed out by Zhang Lan yesterday, and after drying overnight, Li Feng tried it a little stiffly.

But these pictures are auspicious, eating is secondary, candy, Li Feng weighed more than ten catties on the street, all kinds of toffee, fruit candy, gummies, everything, a few things filled with two bamboo baskets, high on the eaves, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive, go up the floor, sprinkle candy.

Today, all the idle laborers in the village have come, helping to lift the floor slab, bamboo ladders, tie red cloth up and down, put a red quilt on the first floor shelf, now it is not a tile house, the upper beam is pine wood, there is a red cloth on it, and the pushpin is set out with a unique pattern, and the evil is avoided by evil.

The ceremony is presided over by the second master, in fact, many things have been dispensed with, social development, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and some customs are more and more simplified, or even disappear. For example, the rooster sacrifice beam, without so exquisite, the rooster is just to go up and walk around, no blood, once and now carry the wooden beam, kill the chicken, but there is a song that comes to the rooster sacrifice beam hand rooster like a phoenix, born with a high head and long tail. He wears a red crown and green feathers, and wears a purple and red gossip robe. This chicken is not an ordinary chicken, Guanyin's mother sent a timed chicken. One does not scream, and the other does not cry, just when Xiandong is on the beam. A sacrifice to the head of the beam, thousands of miles of marquis; The second sacrifice beam tail is precious to the end; Three sacrifices to the waist, ribbons fluttering; Four sacrifices to the belly, thousands of years of wealth. The first sacrifice was sacrificed to the heavens, the Luban sacrificed to the gods, the second sacrifice was sacrificed to the ground, and the Guanyin sacrifice was sacrificed to the land. Sacrifice the land Mimi smiled, and He Xi Xiandong built a building. At that time, adults and children would sing two sentences, and now Li Feng's generation still vaguely remembers it, and the children may not know it

When I was a child, Li Feng, Li Can, Li Changming and a group of children liked Shangliang the most, there was candy to eat, and there was money to take, it was just five cents, one cent, each person picked up three or five cents, but excited, three cents and five cents now seem to be dispensable, at that time a week's pocket money was just that.

Today, Li Feng didn't have the leisure to pay attention to these, he was busy greeting blind dates left and right, eating cigarettes and drinking tea, Li Can, Li Changming, and Li Xu all came over today. Helping Li Feng entertain the old and young in the village, it was lively, the left and right bricklayers were ready, and the second master sat on the side, with a smile on his face.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the firecrackers rang out, the second master, the incense platform had already been set up, and the upper beam worshiped Jiang Taigong, and the gods and demons came to disturb. Taigong has a divine whip in his hand, and the charm and spirit retreat quickly. When worshipping God, everyone was silent, Li Feng watched the end of the ceremony, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the second master. provoked the old man's eyes, Li Feng smirked.

More than a dozen big men were ready, in groups of four, carrying the floor slabs, and a few bricklayers went to the eaves early. Picking up the bamboo basket, each person loaded a few handfuls, so it is customary, the men and women downstairs, especially the children, stared at the bamboo basket, stretched their necks and waited.

Now it's not a wooden beam, as soon as the floor is on the top, the bricklayer throws down the candy, and the old people and children coax it together, Li Feng chuckles, picks up a piece of milk candy on the side and puts it in his mouth. Sometimes, the bricklayer looks at the bottom pouting the old and the young, and the childlike heart is together, and the candy is deliberately thrown into no one's place, which causes the people below to laugh and scold, and it is very lively.

Li Feng looked at the smile on the child's face, and smiled at Li Can, Li Changming, and Li Xu. At that time, people had little money, but for a few dollars, a child could have three or five cents and was already considered a little rich.

At the end of the beam ceremony, Li Feng stuffed a pack of cigarettes into each of the men who helped him, and he was a good guy for ten yuan. Many people looked at Li Feng and gave a thumbs up, even if it was a town, it was also a rare ten pieces of Great Qinling. Both the people in the village and the construction team felt that Li Feng's family was generous and benevolent.

At this time, Zhang Lan and the others had already prepared a meal, and there were more people today, and there were five tables full, but fortunately, Li Feng bought more vegetables. Zhang Lan, the three aunts went into battle, Li Feng, Li Can, and several people started to serve the food, which was lively. Without waiting for the guests to sit down for a few minutes, the cold dishes have already been plated. Of course, it is not sitting in vain, among the four Fluttershy, peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, dates, tea, talking and laughing, drinking tea. Six cold dishes, three vegetarian and three meat, fried peanuts, cucumbers, shredded bamboo shoots, beef slices, pig ears, preserved eggs, Li Feng and several people served the dishes first-class. The red lacquer long support, a circle down, poured wine, the sound of toasting came, and the banquet began. The second master spoke on behalf of the main family, toasted, Li Feng and the others hurriedly got busy, hot dishes, there are no vegan dishes, and the people in the mountains are simple. Vegetarian dishes are taken out to make people see jokes, and each dish has shredded meat and slices of meat as the base.

Nowadays, the banquet noodles are mostly fried vegetarian six courses, chicken, fish, meat and eggs four courses are indispensable, and finally meat balls, salty soup, sweet soup, three fresh soups, dim sum, fried noodles, fried rice, bean paste buns, and jujube cakes. In the past, we paid attention to the ten bowls of the table, and the ten bowls were one vegetarian stir-fry, two braised pork, three fresh, four soup, five chicken, six balls, seven mutton, eight beef, nine fish, ten miscellaneous, and the dishes were all exquisite. The table of eight immortals is eight people in a boxy square, there is an arrangement of the upper seat and the next seat, the upper seat is the host and accompanying guest, the next seat is the secondary guest, on both sides is the neighbor of their own surname and the village to accompany, help pour wine, deliver rice, pick up dishes, set dishes, the first vegetarian dish should be placed in the middle of the right point, the second red meat should be placed in front of the chief of the table, and the first bowl is not in a straight line, the third bowl of three fresh is placed in the position of the side of the table, and the red meat is in a straight line, forming an inverted triangle, the fourth soup is placed on the left side of the vegetarian fried, The fifth is that the chicken is placed on the right side of the vegetarian dish, and forms a triangle, and the dish can be close to each other, the sixth is the ball must be placed under the chicken and the vegetarian dish at the next table, if it is placed on the table, then the table will be blown away, because the ball has the homonym of the bastard, after the six dishes, the host will go to the front of the banquet to pour wine for the guests, say some thanks to the guests for spending money, eat more vegetables and the like, after pouring the wine, continue to serve the seventh dish of mutton, put it under the vegetarian dish and soup, and the ball is in a line, Then the eighth dish of beef is put on the line of chicken, vegetarian dishes, and soup, and the ninth dish is big fish, which must be placed in front of the chief and the chief, with the head facing the chief and the tail of the chief to the next table, and the last bowl is ten miscellaneous dishes and placed in the lower seat, and the ten bowls of dishes are arranged in this way, and the guests can eat and drink to their heart's content.

Now it's just a flowing water mat, in order, and few people know about it. There are fewer rules, there are no ranks, and there are no dishes. The five tables of Li Feng's family are all set up outside today, the chief is located in the innermost, facing the gate, the second master sits in the chief, the second seat of the contractor, and the other table Li Shan accompanies the guest as the host, and the uncle Li Fukui sits at the third table are all from the village, and the uncle accompanies his brother absolutely did not say anything. Originally, Li Shan asked Li Fukui to sit in the second seat to accompany the guests, but the uncle refused, how to say that you are the master and the bricklayer is the guest. The host never said anything about accompanying the guests, and he didn't say anything about his own brother when he accompanied him, so there were not too many rules in the past.

Vegetarian fried are all used in their own dishes, not much to buy, celery slices, minced eggplant, bean slices, mushroom slices, shredded green pepper pork, tomato scrambled eggs, not much to pay attention to, eat a comfortable.

These bowls of chicken, fish, meat and eggs are the dishes that Li Jiagang has not changed for many years, not to mention the chicken, the braised rooster cubs must be roosters. Fish braised carp, meat, eight large pieces, braised pork, two taels of meat on the block, oily and shivering. Eggs originally referred to eggs, but now stewed soft-shelled turtles accompany soft-shelled turtle eggs. The four main dishes, with lotus leaf bowls, large bowls, especially eight large pieces, shouting, Li Feng's strange voices attracted many elderly people, laughing loudly, making several people's faces red, and a few people didn't have much experience. made a big red face, Li Feng didn't realize it, the customs, it is not easy to pass them down, the rules are complicated and can't be remembered, it is simple to pick up. Without these, the banquet and the banquet are not interesting, hehe, chuckling, Li Feng stepped forward.

The four big bowls went up, and most of the table was over, at this time, the meatballs should be put aside to allow time to talk and eat. Li Feng and the others also had time to rest.

"Hehe, Xiaobao, we didn't get a meal today." Li Can smiled and pretended to rest against the table Li Feng, several people from childhood to adulthood, peeing and mud, and bare ass friendship. I didn't care about joking at all, and a few buddies on the side were also yelling. Li Changlin is the oldest, and now the child can play soy sauce, but his temperament has not changed much.

"It's not, this meal is indispensable, I want to think about it, how about setting up a table at Shuijiagang'er." As soon as Li Changlin said, the people on the side didn't like to laugh, Li Xu also widened his eyes, the whole fish banquet in Shuijiagang, not to mention that a few people were really greedy.
