Compared with Tang Ling, who is disgraced and resentful, Zhuo Yan's side is much more harmonious.

Chu Xingchen learned about the local dowry, because Xilin Town is mainly based on animal husbandry, so the dowry in this place is cattle and sheep.

The last one with the highest dowry was the daughter of the mayor of Xilin Town, who married her to the son of a wealthy family in Dongmu Village, and the man also went to work in the town, but his parents still gave the mayor's family five cows.

This is typical of the woman marrying low and the man marrying high.

When it comes to Chu Xingchen and Zhuo Yan, from a secular point of view, it should be Chu Xingchen's worth higher.

However, Chu Xingchen loved Zhuo Yan and voluntarily lowered himself to the mud in front of her, so Chu Xingchen proposed that he was willing to marry Zhuo Yan with ten cows as a dowry.

The scale of this dowry shocked the entire Xilin Town.

You must know that now a cow is almost equivalent to the price of ten sheep, like the big black of the Zhuo Yan family, which is the bloodline of bullfighting, so it will be a little more expensive, and ordinary cattle are equivalent to ten sheep.

And the price of a sheep in the market is about ten yuan.

Then one cow is worth a hundred dollars, and the market price of ten cows is a thousand dollars.

At the beginning, Zhuo Mu Xingshi's division of the family was only a few hundred yuan, and Chu Xingchen's dowry was equivalent to all the belongings of ordinary people.

Generally speaking, the more expensive the dowry is, the more the man values the woman, and Chu Xingchen's dowry can be said to be full of sincerity.

Considering that Village Chief Zhuo's family did not have the idea of expanding the herd, mainly because there was no hand to graze, at the suggestion of the old man in the village, Chu Xingchen converted ten cows into a thousand yuan.

In this way, if the village chief Zhuo wants to save money for retirement, he can also use it to buy cattle to expand production.

The two husband and wife of the village chief Zhuo were really surprised and delighted, and they also felt that the dowry was too much and too expensive, but this kind of thing represented a piece of the man's heart, and there was no reason to return it to others, only to make a fuss about the marriage.

So, after discussing with the village chief and his wife, Zhuo Yan married a hundred sheep.

Unlike Chu Xingchen's ten cows, these 100 sheep were 100 real live sheep, which were personally driven by Zhuo Han and sent to Chu Xingchen's small courtyard.

Seeing this dowry, Chu Xingchen really couldn't cry or laugh, he was newly married Yan'er, and he just wanted to accompany Zhuo Yan, who was going to herd the sheep?

However, this is Zhuo Yan's dowry, if Zhuo Yan's dowry is not good, it is equivalent to disrespecting the leading actor, Chu Xingchen thought so, or honestly find a place to settle these hundred ancestors.

In addition to exchanging bride price and dowry in the past two days, several women who helped the cook also worked early.

The money for the flowing water banquet was made by Chu Xingchen, and the village chief originally wanted to take out the money to handle it, but he was stopped by Chu Xingchen, if his family has a big business, if he marries a daughter-in-law and asks his father-in-law to pay for it, wouldn't it seem that he is insincere?

In addition to the money for buying raw materials, Chu Xingchen also told these people who came to help that the money would be counted on a daily basis, five yuan a day.

Now these enthusiastic people are very happy, you must know that they also help others, but that is all voluntary help, because the customs in the village are like this, and the big guys also want to exchange courtesies, after all, they don't look up and look down, who doesn't use others?

Chu Xingchen is really giving money, he said it clearly, not only has he received the favor of the neighbors, but he can't treat the big guys badly, after all, if you want to help him cook, you won't be able to take care of the family, and the adults and children in the family may not be able to eat the good food!

It is said that material rewards are actually the highest rewards, and with Chu Xingchen's words, the big guy is even more motivated, not only thinking about helping him do things, but also trying to do it as well as possible.

For example, fried beef meatballs, everyone used to fry them casually, but today there is a daughter-in-law who contributed her family's family secret recipe, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the juice is really extraordinary when you bite into it.

Others were inspired to use their housekeeping skills to prepare their meals.

So two days before the wedding, the door of Xingchen's house was lively, and the oil in the cauldron was tumbling all the time to tie the beef balls, and he had to take advantage of the aroma of oil to fry some more oil buns.

Ghee is also mixed into the steamed buns, so that the fried fruit is even softer.

There were also people who brought large vats of milk, and the goat's milk was processed on the spot, and the milk skin was a must on the table, and a lot of milk cakes were made.

Cattle and sheep cannot be slaughtered at the door of the new house, and after the cattle and sheep are slaughtered elsewhere, they are cleaned and sent directly to the earthen stove, where a large pot is set up, and large pieces of beef and mutton are put into it to cook, which is intended for hand-handled meat on the table.

For a time, the whole village of Xiliuying was filled with the fragrance of all kinds of meat and oil.

is also organizing a wedding, Lu Jiangtao's side is in stark contrast to Chu Xinchen's side.

Lu Jiangtao's wedding was one day earlier than Chu Xingchen's, and the day before the wedding, Lu Jiangtao went down the mountain.

Again and again, Lu Jiangtao was honestly cleaned up by Chu Xingchen, and it turned out that those flying jumps were invisible.

After he came, he was directly taken to the dormitory by Tang Ling, who was waiting at the entrance of the village, where the Lu family was waiting for him to tell him about the wedding regulations.

Lu Jiangtao was a top-notch character when he was at home, but now he is not good, but it seems that he used to brag and show off blindly when he was at home, and his family was very disappointed in him, so his attitude was not as polite as before.

Especially Lu Jiangtao's parents, as soon as they saw Lu Jiangtao, they condemned him for fooling around.

"Jiang Tao, you don't even have a place to live, so there's no need to take us over!"

"The so-called wedding is just a process, you and Tang Ling can do it casually, and now we don't advocate big deals, it's all about simple marriages, you two are good, you have to do it against everyone!"

"This is also a lifelong event for me, is it too much to ask you to come and preside over it?" Lu Jiangtao used to be a character, and when his parents said this, he felt that he couldn't save face.

The Lu family looked at each other, and the big guys didn't know what to say, to be honest, they still disliked Lu Jiangtao.

"Okay, okay, we're already here anyway, so let's talk about it, how do you want to handle the marriage?" Father Lu, as the head of the family, opened his mouth.

"It's popular to hold flowing water banquets in this place, I think since you are here, let's also hold flowing water banquets, how about inviting the people in the village?" Lu Jiangtao put forward his own ideas.

"You mean the people of this village? Not necessarily, right? Dealing with these countrymen, aren't you afraid of lowering your status? Lu's mother's eyebrows were furrowed, she couldn't eat for the past two days, she went to the next door to borrow salt, and was told by the daughter-in-law next door, so she didn't have a good impression of the people in this place at all.
