Chapter 183: Ancestor Birthday Banquet
From the ninth day of the new year, the housekeeper and the housekeeper mother have opened the eyes of the great-grandfather and the ancestor.
It was arranged from the inside to the outside, whether it was relatives or friends or seniority, it was very clear, and the seat did not say which person sat in the wrong position.
Half of the outer nursing home is responsible for security, half is responsible for reception, the family is responsible for chores, and one qiē obeys the arrangements of the housekeeper and the nursing home.
Giving wealth is responsible for registering accounts and receiving gifts with good wealth and financial management. After registering the account and receiving the gift, the guest was arranged to rest.
This rest area is not arranged casually, it is closely related to the seating for a while.
The guests who came, the venue where the compound could sit still could not sit.
I don't know where I got all the firewood from this gift, so I lit a fire in the middle and around the threshing floor that I had prepared first, and arranged all the guests who could not be arranged in the compound to the threshing floor.
Don't say it, the fire is lit, and the whole area around the threshing floor is warm. The seats were arranged in the middle of the fire, so that the meal would not be cold at all.
The yard couldn't burn firewood, so the blessing prepared charcoal and lit a lot of piles, and the whole courtyard became much warmer all at once.
In addition to these, in terms of food, blessings have also been prepared, and beef, donkey meat, whole chicken, and whole duck that ordinary people can't get, which can open the eyes of people who come to eat and drink.
Many guests who came to the banquet sighed at the changes in the great-grandfather family of the Tian family, and it has changed so much in just a few days, it seems that this Tianjia Village will have a good knot in the future.
Of course, there are some red-eyed people. Like the Wen family's grandfather and grandmother .......
No one informed them of the ancestral birthday banquet, but they still came on the third day.
Neither the Great Ancestor nor the Old Ancestor came forward to arrange them, and directly asked Shifu to arrange it, but only informed Shifu in advance that these guests were not allowed to stay overnight.
This made the grandfather and grandmother of the Wen family angry, and they threw off the subordinates who greeted them and went directly to the great-grandfather's house.
Great-grandfather is drinking tea and chatting with guests!
A few people came in angrily, "Great-ancestor of the in-laws, how can we say that we are also clerical grandfathers, grandmothers, and uncles, how can you treat us like this?" ”
"Ancestor, you have guests, you are busy first, a few of us go outside to walk around, there are many relatives and friends here, and a few of us will also go to the meeting." Several guests who were about the same age as their great-grandfather, after seeing the Wen family's grandfather and them coming in, they asked themselves to go out for a walk.
"Then I'm sorry, you guys will hang around first, and we'll continue to discuss what just happened later." Great-grandfather had no choice but to let the guests go out for a walkaround first.
"Hean, go and call the housekeeper." The great ancestor ignored the Wen family and asked He An to call the housekeeper.
"Great-ancestor of the in-laws, how can such a good tea be entertained to outsiders like this, our in-laws have never tasted it!" After the guests left, the grandfather of the Wen family sat down in the guest's position and poured himself a cup of tea.
These teas, but they were all bought by Niu'er in Qingzhen first, and then exchanged in the space! The tea produced in this space is not good! Great-grandfathers and ancestors are usually reluctant to drink.
Although, the girl told them that there was a lot of tea, but they were still reluctant to drink it.
The great-grandfather ignored them, and when several Wen uncles heard their father say that the tea was good, they all sat down and poured themselves a drink, "Dad, this tea is really good." ”
"My family, it's good to give me some tea for me." It's ......!
"Great-grandfather, you are looking for me ......." The housekeeper blessed just entered the house, but he didn't finish his words.
"A few guests, the table is about to open outside, please go out with me and sit down!" Good eyesight, the great ancestor didn't say anything!
"It's going to be a meeting so soon, isn't there a meeting?" Is there a meeting to leave the table?!
"A few guests, this is to arrange the seats first, and when the arrangements are made, the seats will be opened." I've never seen such an eyeless person, don't you know if you're not welcome here?!
"Since the seats are arranged first, let's go over first!" This great-ancestor's tea has also been drunk, and it's not interesting to stay, so it's better to leave first.
Anyway, a few of my own family members are reserved today, so I don't have time to talk to this great-ancestor.
The housekeeper arranged these people into a separate room, served them snacks and tea, and let them eat and drink first. Save them from going out and causing trouble or something later.
After the cannon battle sounded, the third day of the banquet officially began.
Because, in winter, it gets dark early. Therefore, there are only two seats in the banquet, so that after the guests have eaten, it is better to go home early.
When the Wen family looked at the wine and food on this table, their eyes were about to come out, "Dad, what kind of meat is this?" "Uncle I've never seen any of these foods.
"Eat yours, the food can't stop your mouth." Grandpa Wen hasn't eaten it before, how can he know what it is.
"Say, what are these foods?" The little uncle didn't get an answer from Grandpa Wen, so he pulled a little girl who served the food and asked.
"Uncle Hui, this is beef, this is donkey meat." After the little girl answered, she bowed and left.
"Beef ......, donkey meat ......!" The cow and the donkey are treasures in the hands of farmers, and no one will be willing to kill them for food!
"Dad, I just heard outside that there are hundreds of people in this Tian family now! Also, those subordinates also eat meat every day. "When the second uncle first came here and walked around, I don't know who I heard about it.
"Yes, I've also heard that there are more than a dozen subordinates around everyone in this Tian family now, and there are dozens of miscellaneous people!" The third uncle also heard about it.
"Dad, you said that if we stayed, would there be so many people to serve?!" Uncle I'm dreaming of it! Or do dream farts to eat!
"You'd better be safe, I've heard, these people are all sent by the aunt of the big girl of the grass weaver, no matter what, it won't be your turn." The eldest uncle glanced at the younger uncle and said.
"I also heard that this weaving grass family took them in because Niu'er took pity on them, and this family affair was also concluded after Niu'er took them in." The fourth uncle has also heard a lot of things here!
"Dad, why don't we go back first after dinner today, and when we find an opportunity, let a few girls from our family come and live here." I've heard that there are a lot of matchmakers in this Tianjia Village now. Now everyone in ten miles and eight towns wants to marry with Tianjia Village! Let's send a few girls here to live, maybe we can get married. ”
These people are all sent by others, even if they stay, now they are only a guest at most. It's better to think in the long run, let your own daughter marry better, and then you won't be afraid that you will not be blessed.
The eldest uncle's family also has two little daughters, both of whom have reached the age of kissing, and the eldest uncle has to think about them.
"Dad, big brother, pay attention, I agree." The second uncle's family also has three daughters to marry! Instead of relying on not leaving and being embarrassed, it is better to give the opportunity to the three daughters.
"I don't agree, this house and this courtyard are all written by them, why do others live in them, our uncles can't live in it." The eldest of the little uncle's daughters is only a few years old, and the younger one is just leaving, so of course she doesn't agree to do so.
"Eat, I have my own considerations." Grandpa Wen was also thinking about things here, and he wanted to stay first when he set off at home.
But looking at the situation, it's okay to stay, but it's not a long-term plan. It's better to find a mother-in-law for your granddaughter, and then you can get rid of yourself.
Besides, I have more than a dozen granddaughters, and there are always a few who can meet a good marriage!
Grandpa Wen thought about it this way, and decided so, and after eating, he said goodbye to his great-grandfather and his ancestor, and went back before dark.
The Great Ancestor and the Old Ancestor are still very strange here! When did the family become so sensible?!!!
As a result, the 'good thing' is yet to come!!
The ancestor's birthday banquet ended perfectly, and it also made Tianjia Village a hot topic again in Qinglin Town, and even Qingzhen!
Aunt Weaving's family left after dinner on the second day of the ancestor's birthday banquet.
When he left, he also took away more than a dozen girls around the age of ten in Milan and Tianjia Village.
These girls who were taken away were all selected by the housekeeper of the inner courtyard of the Song Mansion in Qingzhen. Yes, in the future, some of these children may marry in the capital.
The reason why I did this was to help Wan'er network in the capital in the future, and I also wanted to find more people to accompany Wan'er.
Of course, whether they can marry into the capital depends on the appearance and creation of these children.
This incident caused another storm in Tianjia Village. At that time, dozens of children were delivered. In the end, Qingzhen's housekeeper Mama only picked out twelve people.
These children are all beautiful, smart and well-behaved, and they are easy to train.
After Aunt Weaving's family left, great-grandfathers, grandfathers, and grandparents began to be busy preparing New Year's goods.
No, there is only half a month left before the New Year, and there are ...... cakes, glutinous rice dumplings, and shortbreads.
These New Year's goods, which are easy to make in modern times, were much more difficult to make in ancient times.
You must know that whether it is a cake or a glutinous rice gnocchi or pastry, those glutinous rice and rice are beaten by hand, which is time-consuming and laborious.
Half a month can make dozens of kinds of pastries, that is already a very fast thing.
Everyone is busy with the New Year, and Niu'er can't help much.
Even if you want to help, you can't help, and if you want to make those beautiful and delicious pastries, you have to have the ingredients.
Now, these materials are still good, only take your time, I believe that in the near future, Niu will come up with a lot of things that were not available in ancient times.
Also, this ancient pastry, although a little rougher, tastes good.
Niu'er has nothing to do, after the afternoon, I want to continue to practice in the mountains, this is still a while before the New Year, I can't always play like this, and I wasted so much time.
But Li Xuan, who is always silent, doesn't know why, he always likes to follow him. Wherever he goes, he will follow him. (To be continued.) )
