Chapter 226: Please inform the feast
In a flash, it was evening.
According to the rules of this area of Qingxi Village, tonight is the day to know. That is, on the day before the wedding, the banquet of male and female acquaintances, matchmakers, brides and other people.
This is a crucial step, and if you accompany the guests, the wedding day will go smoothly.
For today's dinner, you can set the menu yourself. The chef in charge of the kitchen is also a chef borrowed from Sikong Mingyi's restaurant.
"Babao chicken, crispy duck, squirrel fish, plum cabbage button pork, Sixi meatballs, braised elbow, braised prawns, spicy crab, dried stir-fried shredded squid, dry pot tea tree mushroom, pine nut corn, kung pao chicken, lily fried celery, sweet jade rolls. Fourteen dishes, does Grandma think there is anything wrong? At this time, Youran was discussing the dishes of the dinner with the elders of the Su family in the hall.
"Fourteen dishes? This is going to catch up with the main banquet used by ordinary people to marry their daughters-in-law. ”
Liu Su sat next to the old lady of the Su family, and after listening to the names of a series of dishes leisurely, he was shocked and said with emotion.
"yes, yes." Old Mrs. Su nodded and said to Youran, "You'er, will there be too many dishes in this dish?" How do you prepare for tomorrow's feast? ”
According to the rules, this banquet is better than tonight's invitational banquet!
Leisurely closed the menu book in his hand, and then replied with a smile: "There are many places that need the help of the ladies and gentlemen tomorrow, so it seems that the fourteen-course banquet is not too much." Besides, the dishes I set for tomorrow's banquet are twenty, six more main dishes than tonight's, and they will not be pressed down by tonight's banquet, so you can rest assured! ”
"That's good, that's good." The old lady was satisfied, looking at the bright smile of leisurely, "You'er, it's really hard for you." ”
"What did Grandma Tai say, Jing married her cousin, and it is a matter of course to be her sister's help, not to talk about any hard work. If Grandma talks like this again, I won't care about anything. Leisurely pretended to be unhappy and said coquettishly to the old lady.
"Hehe, okay, grandma won't say it, can't you say it? Let's Xiao You'er, don't be angry......" The old lady knew that Youran was coquettish with her, so she followed Youran's words and said a few coaxing words.
For the children of the Qin family to be close to her own family, the old lady was really happy in her heart. She also agrees with several juniors in her family following Qin Haoran and making friends leisurely, because these two children, whether it is character, talent, or ability in all aspects, are outstanding; Your juniors will learn a lot by following these two people.
"Yu'er ......"
While chatting leisurely with Mrs. Su, Qin Yanran walked in from outside the house. After seeing Youran, he shouted, "You'er, is your menu ready?" Chef Sun is waiting! ”
Youran turned his head to look at Qin Haoran, nodded at him, then stood up, saluted towards the main seat, and said, "Grandma, You'er won't chat with you, I'll go and get busy first."
The old lady smiled and waved her hand, signaling her to go, "Okay, you guys should pay more attention to your body, don't tire yourself!" ”
"Got it, grandma don't worry."
After speaking, he walked out of the house with Qin Yanran.
After a lot of busyness, it was soon time to start the table.
The eldest master of the Su family led a group of people behind him and went out to greet the protagonists who were going to be invited to the banquet tonight. They were polite to each other, and then they all sat down.
The male and female acquaintances of Qingxi Village are a middle-aged couple surnamed Ji, about forty years old. Because of his good popularity and easy-going personality, almost all the red and white ceremonies in this village are handled by these two people.
The matchmaker is very famous in this area, she is a fifty-year-old woman, she has a pleasant face, and everyone she sees is smiling. The four brides, each of whom was a young woman with a good face, were all wearing rose-red dresses and delicate buns, following behind the matchmaker, looking particularly eye-catching.
Tomorrow's bride will use eight large sedan chairs, and the eight sedan chair bearers are all tall and powerful.
In addition to these people, the rest are the various instrument masters who play joy.
After a large group of people were seated, the servants of the Qin family began to spread out and serve food on the table.
"Yo~ If you want to say that the banquet of the village chief's family is magnanimous, look at this dish, it's the first time I've seen it!" The matchmaker has been watching with bright eyes since the first course.
I have long heard that the Su family has a wealthy relative in Nancang County, and this time the eldest son and grandson of the village chief became married, and all the applications were handled by this relative. At first, she didn't believe it when she knew about it, but after coming here, she couldn't help but believe it.
Look around, the servants in uniform clothes; Then look at the beautifully dressed young couple sitting with them at the main table...... The matchmaker was very glad at the moment, fortunately this business was her next, not someone else.
"No, this banquet is done, it's the first one in our village!" Ji Fengshou raised his thumb and compared to Su Hemu.
"Hehe, Brother Ji is too praised, I really don't dare to be, I don't dare to be!" Su Hemu picked up the wine glass and said to Ji Fengshou: "Come, Brother Ji, let's have two glasses." Tomorrow I will have to bother you and your younger siblings to take care of it more! ”
"The village chief is really polite, do we brothers still need to be so polite? Come, drink-" Ji Fengshou picked up the wine glass and touched it with Su amicably, and then drank it in one gulp.
The dinner lasted an hour and a half, and by the time everyone had left, the moon was already high in the sky.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
First arranged a room for everyone who needs to welcome their relatives tomorrow; After that, the three young daughters-in-law of the Su family, plus the five women of Mother Qin and Aunt Qin, walked in the direction of the new house.
Knowing that they were going to make the final arrangements for the new house, a group of little girls had no intention of sleeping, so they went with them.
"Xiuyun, you and Huai Xi go and hang up the tents, curtains and whatever; Tong Niang brought jujubes and chestnuts over; The children went to paste the word "Greetings" on the windows; Yu Niang and I will make the bed. As soon as she entered the door, Su Jingtong's mother-in-law Rong Niang began to assign tasks to the big guys.
"Okay."
Everyone nodded and moved in unison.
Leisurely took a stack of "Xi" characters cut out of red paper, followed behind Mu Lan, and came to the outside of the new house.
"Cousin, it's done, it's ready to be pasted."
Leisurely smeared the back of the word "Xi" evenly with rice dumplings, and handed one to Mu Lan after making one, and then posted it on the windows and walls.
"You'er, do you want to put some on the trees and flower pots in the yard too? Look festive! Looking at the rest of the happy words, Mu Lan turned his head and looked around the courtyard and proposed.
"Okay!" Anyway, there are so many left, so stick them all if you can!
In the following time, the two sisters pasted the tree trunks and flower pots in the yard with festive red words.
By the time the two of them entered the house again, the scene inside the house had changed.
On the table, on the cabinet, on the dresser, and on the bedpost, you can see the big red word "happy" everywhere. With red curtains, red embroidered curtains, and a red brocade quilt covered with a hundred children, the whole wedding room really became a sea of red at this time.
"Mother, are you done?" At this time, Su Jingtong walked in with Qin Haoran and them.
Rong Niang turned her head and looked at her son, who was already much taller than herself, and walked towards this side. smiled and said, "It's going to be fine soon, you guys are waiting."
"Well, don't worry, mother, take your time." Su Jingtong smiled toothily at her mother.
After Rong Niang and the others got busy again, a few of their little girls chatted with them around Su Jing.
"Big brother, I'm going to marry my sister-in-law tomorrow, how are you feeling now?" Su Jingduo came to Su Jingtong's side and asked with a wicked smile on her face.
As soon as this question came out, a group of young people turned their heads to look at Su Jingtong in unison, and their eyes were full of teasing and joking.
Su Jingtong was stared at so directly by a group of them, and a dark red appeared on her bronzed face. glared at his little sister, and under the wolf-like eyes of everyone, he said two words, "It's okay." ”
Of course, such an answer is unlikely to satisfy them. So, the next conversation goes like this-
Shang Moqi: "Okay?" How is it okay? ”
Su Jingtong: "......"
Qin Haoran: "Okay, does it mean that you are in a good mood?"
Su Jingtong: "......"
Muzen: "You don't understand, it's okay, it's okay." So now Jingtong's heart must be very calm, and there will be no nervousness or excitement. ”
Su Jingtong: "......"
Mu Yan: "What if he just pretends to be calm?"
After saying this, a group of people once again gathered their eyes on Su Jingtong.
Su Jingtong: "......, hehe, you can be happy, don't think about my feelings."
All:......
What followed was a strange silence, and Su Jingtong, who was originally a little nervous, miraculously became not nervous in such a playful atmosphere.
There was a knock on the door, followed by the sound of the opening shut.
"Miss, the slaves have brought over what you have ordered."
It was Wanyun and Wanxue who entered the door, and after dinner, he leisurely asked them to go to the warehouse to sort out the things they had brought over. At this time, each of them carried a tray with some large and small boxes on it.
"Well, let's put it here first!" Let them put the tray on the table.
"Huh? What are these? Su Jingduo stood up, came to leisurely's side, and picked the smallest one from the many boxes to open, "Ah! It's beautiful! Yoer, what is this? ”
