The so-called "inverted meal" is the first meal after a person goes.

Every household in the entire village will send paper money and silk gold to participate in the "inverted meal", which is also a consistent custom of the Dayuan Dynasty.

When the seventh hour is burned, the lord's house will return to the invitation.

Generally, the first seventh, second seventh, and third seven will not make a big deal, and only invite a few monks to come back and knock on a small scripture.

When he got four or seven, he was the chief of his nephews, and he contributed money and effort to come to the lord's house to burn seven.

Five or seven will be burned by the daughters and granddaughters.

Burn seven less dumplings, as long as the whole village comes to eat the "head meal", every family must be delivered, if there is any missing, it is a curse, no matter how honest the person, it will not be good with you.

However, this dumpling for seven is very different from what you eat at home on weekdays.

Making dumplings at home is naturally made in a variety of ways.

But this dumpling for burning seven must be "unpalatable" as the standard, the more unpalatable the better, to make people eat while scolding "upside down to burn seven dumplings", that is good.

On weekdays, if something tastes bad, some people scold "upside down" and "burn seven".

After all, it is to invite a Zhuang Shangren, not to mention that there are hundreds of households, and the cost is by no means a small amount, and it depends on whether the person who burns seven can bear it.

Of course, if you invite it, it will naturally be extremely beautiful in terms of face.

But these six or seven are the sons of their own business, and they must be done in a big way, no matter how poor they are, they must be invited to fill all the families who participated in the "head meal".

It is said that this should be the first meal that Mrs. Qian should have had after she went.

But there are a lot of funeral chores, and they can't be in a hurry, especially since the Qian family has moved from Dijing, which is far away, and those people in Dijing Village will naturally not be able to come for a while.

In such a situation, the main family can choose a day to eat the first meal.

After hearing the letter, the Zhuang Shangren will come if they want to, and if they don't want to come, they won't come, and they don't have to pay money.

Left and right are mutual, there are comings and goings.

As the saying goes, Daofu has distant relatives in the mountains.

The Qian family's business is booming, the wealth is extensive, and there are few people in the village who don't come, and some people even left last night, and they arrived at the Qian Mansion early in their freshman year.

Qian Shihai and Qian Shilin Xian didn't sleep well last night, both of them had red eyes, but they were still fighting their spirits, waiting in front of the gate to entertain visitors.

Ding and Wen were also busy in the front hall, and if it was a female guest, they would naturally have to chat more.

Qian Fangru and several sisters gathered around a stack of ingots, and from time to time beckoned a few boys in the family to turn some paper money and ingots in the ashtray.

The Great Abyss Dynasty values sons over women, and women are not allowed to burn paper money, and it is burned in vain if it is burned, and it is turned into straw paper in the underworld, which is worthless.

This stack of ingots, there is also a head, saying that men are the most valuable, women are second, if you go to the store to buy ready-made, it is worthless.

Yun Jiao instructed Gu Yizi to invite her brother to come, and her grandmother was at home for seven days, and her brother had more than enough time to come.

Seeing that Gu Yizi went, he had nothing to do, so he wanted to stack ingots, but in fact, he listened to the chatter of his aunts.

Ji Yaru is afraid that she will not go to see her mother, there are many people in the hall today, and it is not appropriate for the girl's family to show her face, if she still appears in front of her mother, she will be scolded again.

Yun Jiao thought so, but she didn't think it through.

The dinner that was set for the first meal.

It was still early in the morning, and the two of them had nothing to do, so they discussed going to the back garden, intending to find a sheltered place to bask in the sun and catch up again.

The two aunts and sisters had not seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to say, so they found a secluded flower bush and sat facing the sun.

Pu Jia took hibiscus and yellow flowers, and sat far away from the two of them, one holding the soles of her shoes, and the two of them were comparing the patterns of cutting, and they were uncomfortable.

Suddenly, I saw a slightly pregnant woman, who came from the east in a hurry, and went north along the path in the garden.

Pu Jia is not strange in her heart.

Mu Hibiscus said: "Isn't that Aunt Shen's concubine?" Where is she with a big belly? ”

There was no yard to the north, only a back door outside.

At this moment, everyone in the family went to the front to help, and there was no one to guard it.

"Wherever she goes, she's not a good person," Pu Jia snorted softly.

"Do you want to talk to the girl?" Huang Hua asked.

"No need, where is she going to do our girl?" Pu Jia didn't care.

That Yang Suhe, who was originally born in a poor family, has been eating and drinking spicy food since he followed Shen Changdong, and even the original poor days of the family have become a lot richer.

She doesn't care what Shen Changdong's character is, if she can make her live a good life, that is her backer, how she does a lot of evil outside, she is a woman and a concubine, and she can't care about that much, as long as she can give her money.

But the backer suddenly collapsed without warning, and she panicked.

How should I live in the future? What happens to the child in the womb?

In the past, she provoked Qian Xianglan and didn't put that person's old Zhuhuang original match in her eyes, but now Shen Changdong can't protect her, she has to get angry from under Qian Xianglan's chin, so is she still alive?

Fortunately, Brother Dong has a way, and she just does it.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and the Qian Mansion was brightly lit and noisy.

Because there were too many people, the front hall could not sit down, so a large shed was built outside the front hall, and tables and chairs were also placed.

As soon as Qian Shihai and the Ding family combined, everything that should have come was almost over, so he waved his hand: "Open the table." ”

And the crowd began to feast.

This "inverted rice" dish is also exquisite.

Singles are not doubles.

There are as few as three dishes and as many as nineteen dishes, depending on the financial resources of the owner's family.

Ordinary people eat some homely food.

For example, roasted tofu with Chinese cabbage, fried tofu with celery, stewed with garlic, or at most stewed potatoes with some mutton soup, can make up enough of nine things, which can be regarded as extremely face-saving.

The Qian family has silver, so naturally it is the one who costs the most money.

Nineteen kinds of dishes, the big round table can not be piled up, so I have to pile up the past, in addition to those common meals, there are also meat that the Zhuang Shangren can not eat for a year, such as steamed lamb's trotters, roasted lamb chops, boiled mutton, all of which are excellent.

Naturally, everyone shook off their cheeks and ate with oily faces.

Yun Jiao was on the most corner of the table, together with Aunt Qian and Aunt Chong, she didn't have a good appetite, she only held chopsticks to accompany her, and occasionally ate a bite.

The aunts patronized and talked, but no one cared about her.

She turned her head to look outside the shed, and not far behind her was an ear room, which was the place where Qian Xianglan had a private meeting with others that day.

There are a large number of people coming today, and the Qian family's kitchen is not enough, so a temporary stove is set up in this ear room.

Yun Jiao specially inquired, and the second aunt ordered someone to stew two large pots of white rice, which were in this room.

Just as she frowned slightly in thought, there was a sudden silence in the originally noisy shed.
