Banquet guests
Like all rural people, Yuxin's house has been built, and it is also a local custom to have a good intention outside, and to feast relatives and friends in the neighboring villages. Old man Ma also commanded the children at home, and put the places that he didn't seem to have put in place yet.
At the end of the day (that is, at ten o'clock last year), the village chief, the clan elders and the neighbors came one after another, the grassroots yard is very large, and the neighbors and villagers looked around in the yard, and they all said that the yard was built with a good style.
The neighbors who came from the front yard boasted, talking, and chatting, and the kitchen behind the courtyard was also busy.
The meat filling is also stirred, today you only need to put a small amount of camellia and stir it again, the pot in front of the mother is boiling oil, I saw that she took the meat filling with both hands and kneaded it into a ball, and then carefully put the pinched meat ball into the oil pot, for a while, the meatballs were fixed and formed, and the surface was also fried and gradually appeared golden, and the big bone broth that was boiled yesterday will be just ready for use, and I saw that the mother put the fried meatballs into the hot crockpot and simmered slowly.
The feast here is full of live creatures, that is, the whole chicken, the whole fish, the fish has been fried yesterday, this will only need to go back to the pot to fry it a little, so that the skin becomes more crispy, and then pour it out of the pot, sprinkle some coriander, and the green onion foam will be on the line.
The whole chicken, today my aunt got up early in the morning, and tied the head and neck of the chicken with a thread with the chicken wings. At that time, when Yu Xin taught her family to make this dish, when introducing the meaning of this dish, the first dish and the fish were the must-serve dishes for the family to tongguò. Who doesn't want their own family to fly yellow and Tengda carp jump the dragon gate.
The banquet of the Liu family is divided into two things, the elders of the inner village are the main seat, and the dishes on the table include squirrel fish, stewed whole chicken, which is the phoenix spreading its wings (just the ancient awe of the royal family, and the control of freedom of speech, the common people can't use things like phoenix, phoenix, and even can't say it, so this chicken has become a well-deserved stewed chicken. Lion's head, braised pork ribs, braised prawns, stir-fried pork belly, and, vegetarian stir-fried baby greens, pan-fried tofu, cold bitter herbs and cold salad with shepherd's cabbage ten dishes, meaning perfect. The banquet inside is accompanied by grandpa, uncle, and daddy. The outside table was attended by cousins, eldest brothers, cousins, and cousins. There are also whole fish on the table of the village neighbors outside the door, the whole chicken just does not have the delicacy inside, a large pot of stewed vegetables and a large pot of stir-fried vegetables with the aroma of meat, and they go up vigorously, just to let the village neighbors eat well and be full. This table of the Liu family has become a few years after Qingshan Village, as long as people eat the banquet, they will never forget it, and it is said that the Liu family is humane, and the table is full of oil and water. It smells so good.
Not long after the banquet began, the guests had just eaten a few bites when they heard a commotion outside the door. Grandfather, uncle, and father hurriedly went out, and saw two carriages coming up from the gentle slope in the distance.
Just when everyone was stunned, Dad spoke up: "I'm afraid that the shopkeeper Feng is here, and I was originally polite, I think I was afraid that people would think that we would climb rich and wouldn't come, but I didn't expect it to come." Dad answered half a sentence when he saw Shopkeeper Feng jumping out of the car.
There was also a young man wearing milky white brocade who got out of the car, with a belt of the same color on his body, and a piece of jade fell from his waist. Yu Xin stood in the crowd and thought, she is so wicked when she is only a teenager, she will have it when she grows up.
"Brother Liu, congratulations, congratulations, this is my young owner, I heard that you are happy to move today, I am here to congratulate you." Shopkeeper Feng got off the carriage lane and introduced the young man in white again.
"It's just that a few rooms have been repaired a little, and the young owner has to come, which is stained with the light of the young owner, which makes our family flourish." Liu Caogen said what he had just learned from Mr. Private School.
"In Xia Zhao Mingxuan, today I heard the joy of Uncle Liu's housewarming, my restaurant is under the care of Uncle Liu's family, and the business has been more prosperous. Tang Bald, Uncle Liu won't be unhappy. ”
"No, no, it's too late to be happy." Liu Caogen rubbed his hands and said. Bi Jing is also the first time he has seen such an extraordinary person. Although he is a little boy, the style of his whole body still makes him nervous.
Subsequently, the rest of the family also stepped forward to greet them, and finally under the guidance of grandpa, the group entered the hall. Grandpa let him withdraw half of the table he had served before, and served it again. Because of the distinguished guests, the braised pork ribs in front are not good to serve again. Yu Xin carried her family on her back, took a small bucket, quietly entered her room, looked around and saw that there was no one, and in a flash, she entered the space, grabbed more than a dozen big crabs from the space, and went out of the space again, carrying the big crabs, found her mother, asked her to wash the crabs, steam them through the water, and went to prepare the dipping sauce to eat the crabs for a while.
After a while, he was back on the table. Everyone saw that it was similar to the previous one, except that there was an extra plate of red monsters with large tongs, and there was a small bowl next to it, which contained some blackened water. I've only seen small things in the countryside and waters, but I've never seen big ones.
On the crab, Yu Xin quietly walked to her grandfather's side and called him to a place where no one was around, and said how to eat crabs like this. Only then did Ma Youcai return to the table.
When he arrived at the table, Ma Youcai called everyone to open the banquet, and then picked up a crab, pried open the back cover, dug out the crab roe and crab meat inside, put it in the small dish in front of him, and broke off a few feet of the crab, and used a crab with a small hook to dig out the meat little by little, put it in the small dish in front of him, and then picked up a piece of dipping sauce and put it in his mouth to eat, but he picked up the belly shell of the crab and pointed to the heart and lungs to tell everyone that he couldn't eat it, it was an extremely cold thing, and it hurt people's stomach.
Everyone looked at Old Man Ma's practice, and he taught him carefully. The guests are easy-going and easy-going. This meal can be said to be a pleasure for both the guests and the hosts. And the way to eat crabs has also spread.
Today, there are two generous tables at the door of the wing room on the south side of the courtyard, on which are the congratulatory gifts sent by the neighbors, but they are all home-grown things, a basket of eggs, a chicken and a few feet of cloth, which are all good relations, heavy gifts, and things to give each other, a basket of mushrooms, a handful of vegetables, a few radishes, etc. Without exception, all of them are not worth a few tens of dollars.
At the other end of these gifts were a few brightly colored fine silks, as well as a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. The four treasures of this study are not enough, there are few rural people who read, and they don't know the value, but those few pieces of silk can almost blind the eyes of the villagers, especially those little daughters-in-law and big girls, tsk, this piece of cloth is not more than a dozen taels of silver.
As everyone knows, the silk sent by this young owner can get more than 20 taels of silver, and he also gave eight horses at a time, and the value of the four treasures of the study is higher, and in the later Yuxin's more understanding of this society, he knew that the value of the four treasures of the study room was as high as more than 300 taels.
The family didn't care much about receiving so many gifts today, but they were extremely happy that today's banquet could end peacefully. Today's best grandmother's family also left after eating at the big banquet outside, and did not make trouble, thinking that the warning of the village chief and the clan elders played a role.
It's just that my cousin said that the family came empty-handed and left after eating, which was embarrassing. But the whole family didn't care, and no one mentioned it. The family members who are tired for a day, at this time, have a tacit understanding to go back to the house to sleep together. I believe that tomorrow will be a new beginning.
