Chapter 140: Li Wenjing (10)
It is now the beginning of spring, although the weather is warm, everything is recovering, the willows are blooming and the peach blossoms are blooming.
This season is what everyone often says about the peach blossoms, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, at this time of year, the weather will be particularly cold, and the weather in autumn and winter, the cold body is sluggish, but because of this season, it is the season when food is just preservation.
So Qiao Xiaowan cooked pork, beef, and duck until they were half-cooked and put them away, and when the wedding feast began, it would be good to cook them at one time, which was simple and convenient, and he didn't have to be too tired.
Qiao Xiaowan was busy preparing the things to be prepared for the Shangliang banquet, and here Li Sanmei also began to prepare the things for the Shangliang banquet.
The upper beams in the south are actually about the same.
The upper beam is a bit similar to the 'hanging red', that is, a lot of food will still be prepared, but the 'hanging red' is simple, only a few pieces are needed, but the offerings on the upper beam will be much more than the 'hanging red'.
What's more, many offerings need to be made together by relatives, and when the time comes, how much relatives make up, how much their family will have to pay back, and only more, not less.
It is a custom.
Qiao Xiaowan feels that it is very troublesome, and the return gift can only be more than less, if you take too much of each one, your return gift will make people bleed, right?
The relatives are good, they are just doing superficial work, not too much, and the people on the beam are symbolically adding a few more things, everyone is harmonious, and they are happy with each other in their hearts.
Basically, everyone in the village is like this, relatives will not be too embarrassed, they are all crop households, no one's money is blown by the wind, and it has exhausted one's life savings to build a house.
Can be replaced with their home......
Qiao Xiaowan remembered the temperament of her grandparents and grandmothers, and the temperament of her grandmother .......,
Plus they know they make so much money... As long as she thought about it, Qiao Xiaowan knew that their family was really going to bleed this time.
Fortunately, the gifts given by the farmers are some pastries and steamed buns, or their own flatbread, they bought half a pig, half a cow, and the meat has long been left, and ten more copper plates are added, and this gift is like this.
As for the other dishes, they are all green vegetables, of course, Qiao Xiaowan makes them freshly fried first, as long as they are washed.
Qiao Laide was busy asking the neighbor next door to borrow a table, fifteen tables of seats, their tables were not enough, the Eight Immortals Table was basically available to everyone, and the people who wanted to come to eat the table noodles also borrowed it, and the remaining few were not enough, Qiao Laide was asking the people in the village to borrow and borrow it.
Li Sanmei is busy with the Shangliang offerings, the Shangliang offerings still need big pig heads, whole chickens, but this time more things are needed, zongzi, steamed buns, buns, these have to be placed, and the money made with copper coins should be placed on the top of the big house, Li Sanmei prepared other things, and began to play money.
In the past, farmers only needed 99 copper coins to make smaller coins, which were symbolically good-looking.
After Qiao Xiaowan found out, she specially exchanged the broken silver for nine hundred and ninety-nine money, and asked her mother to fight slowly, and when such a big money was put on the table, the eyes of the people in the village would be red with envy.
Qiao Xiaowan just wanted to make their house lively, and they couldn't live in Changhe Village for long in the past.
Qiao Xiaowan thought to herself, she couldn't say anything about the days of Shangliang, and after thinking about it, she definitely made a lot of egg biscuits as Shangliang wine offerings.
