072. During the wedding (Part 2)

The host continued, "One bow to the high hall: be happy and peaceful, smile with peace and safety; the second bow to the high hall: the son is filial to the daughter-in-law and virtuous; the third bow to the high hall: the family is harmonious and the children are happy. The family is loved by each other, and now they call parents. The bride calls father and mother first." The two newcomers knelt down on the mat in front of them, and Wang Yan changed his words to call parents to Sun's parents. After the two old men agreed, one gave them a big red envelope, which was 1,001 yuan in it, which means choosing one in a thousand.

"The seventh item: the couple bows together." The spring breeze is so proud that the wedding night is blooming, and the couple bows together for a long time. The two newlyweds have been in love with each other for several years. They don't say anything sweet in their mouths, and they devote everything to each other. Just wait for the day of marriage, the bride and groom bow to each other. Hearing the host's command: the groom turns left and the bride turns right, and listens to the command, the couple bows together: one bows and one day, the couple gets kindly together for a hundred days; three bows and lotus seeds fill the room, love and kiss each other for life, and a wonderful moment of affectionate kiss.

"Element 8: The wedding ceremony is completed. Send it to the bridal chamber." Sun Yang held his wife and took it to the bed of the new house and sat down. Sun Gang brought a brazier in. It was too cold, so he baked some charcoal. The children who brought the wash water, the tea, and the paper on the window all surrounded them, and the red envelopes were distributed to them one by one. The little guys ran away happily.

Zhao Han and Sun Gang's sisters accompanied Wang Yan to chat and roast the fire in the new house. Sun Yang came outside to greet the guests.

"Brother, go change your clothes. Look at your lips being frozen and black. Anyway, the ceremony is over, so there is no need to wear a suit." Sun Gang looked at his brother's trembling cold look and reminded him, "By the way, let my sister-in-law change her jacket, too."

"That's the case," Sun Gang turned back into the house and changed into a down jacket.

The important guests in the yard have long been arranged by the guest. Today, the one who came to see off the bride was Wang Yan's uncle, one cousin, and several female relatives from Wang Yan's mother's family. The guest was arranged in the living room by the guest, with several uncles from Sun Gang's uncles accompanying the guests. The bride and groom were in the second seat in the side hall, and there were several people who were greeting the bride and several aunts of Sun Gang and Zhao Han, all of whom were visiting the bride and groom, to accompany Wang Yan's mother's family.

The other guests sat one by one in the yard. When they met someone who had a good relationship, they sat together. If there were any guests who were on the table or who came later, they would go to the side to chat, play cards, and wait for the next round. Generally, they had three rounds of rural banquets, and those who stood in the right position first, and then they would eat first. After the meal, they would quickly withdraw the seat and start the next round. The third round is usually helpful, the chef, the chef and the owner.

As noon approached, all the primary school students in the village had finished school, and dozens of kids came with their backpacks. They came to their parents and gathered one. They had to eat without a seat. They had to go to school after eating. The children snatched it. Sun Gang was very familiar with it and was very lively.

Everyone finished sitting, and Sun Gang and his three younger brothers started to get busy, handing out two bottles of white wine, two large bottles of drinks, two boxes of cigarettes, chopsticks, plates, spoons, etc. at each table.

I heard the host's voice sound again, "Dear relatives and friends, dear guests, celebrate the happy and peaceful day, and when the moon is full, you must be happy in life. Don't let the golden cup face the moon empty. Wedding banquet, cup of mellow wine, chrysanthemums and cups of jade pot poems. Please eat well and drink well!"

As the saying goes: When a farmer’s wedding banquet is different from the customs of three miles, the rules are changed from ten miles.

At the wedding banquet in Sun Gang's hometown, there are usually 28 dishes, 8 cold dishes, 16 hot dishes, and four soups cannot be deviated at all. The 16 hot dishes are divided into large items, medium dishes and table dishes, with the name of the special ones and the order of serving is very strict.

The 8 cold dishes in the banquet are divided into 4 meat and 4 vegetables, with spicy and spicy flavors and salty flavors.

When serving the dishes, the dishes were served first, eight cold dishes were served, including cold lotus root, cucumber, peanuts, braised beef, pork liver, and several plates of cooked meat.

After the cold dishes, 16 hot dishes are followed by the table. When serving hot dishes, the large pieces and the middle pieces are combined into a group, which is a big dish. One group after another, the taste is complete.

Eight hot stir-fried ones, both meat and vegetables, and have both color, fragrance and taste.

Then the dishes were served, the whole chicken and fish were cooked and put on the plate, and the four-happy meatballs the size of a child's fist looked very attractive.

Steamed pork with table dishes followed closely behind, which is Sun Gang's favorite dish in rural wedding banquets.

Next are two bowls of sweet soup and two bowls of salty soup. One bowl of sweet soup is apple and orange sweet soup, made with small pieces of apple and orange petals. The other part of sweet soup is white fungus soup, which is decorated with a few red canned cherries, which are red and white, which looks good and delicious. One part of salty soup is daylily lean meat soup, and the other part is black fungus shredded meat soup.

Finally, there are four large bowls, which are used in the countryside, the kind that is slightly smaller than the sea bowl.

A bowl of fatty meat stewed with oil tofu, which looks fatty and greasy, and is the love of the meat lover. The meat is stewed sour and melts in the mouth, but in fact it doesn’t feel greasy at all.

A bowl of pork belly stewed with sour tart vegetables. The sour tart vegetables tastes very crispy and the pork belly is also very fragrant.

There is also a bowl of fried lotus root. This one is sliced ​​lotus root, wrapped in batter, and fryed in a pan. Take a bite. A layer of crispness just touches the teeth. Before the upper and lower teeth are combined, a fragrance of lotus root enters your brain from the nose. It smells so fragrant that it makes you feel soft and you can't find the north. There will also be the experience of the lingering smell in the lotus root. The ginger smell in the lotus root floats slowly in the mouth and becomes blew open. It is light salty, crispy and crispy, and the soft fragrance increases layer by layer, making you unable to stop and you can't help eating a lot without realizing it.

The last bowl is fried sweet potato chips. This method is very similar to fried lotus root. It is wrapped with batter and added egg liquid to fry it into a golden color. The aroma of sweet potatoes comes to your nose. It tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and not greasy.

After serving these four bowls, it means that all the dishes at the banquet today have been taken. The guests know that they will not wait for the dishes anymore.

Sun Yang and Wang Yan ate something to cushion their stomachs, then got up and went to toast to the table. Sun Gang poured out all the wine in the bottle, and then changed it to space water, which only retained the smell of wine. If others didn't taste it, they wouldn't know that it was water. It was usually done like this. Otherwise, they would be halfway to toast dozens of tables and they would be lying down.

"The bride and groom are here to see the food..." When we walked to each table, the guest would shout, meaning: When the bride and groom come to toast, the people in the seats would stand up and wait for the two newcomers to toast.

Sun Gang followed his brother and sister-in-law with a bottle of wine, and toasted to each other. When he met his uncle, aunt and other relatives, he had to toast them one by one. Neighbors and other relatives and friends drank together. Nowadays, no one was watching the groom drink, just that. It was not like this more than ten years ago. There were real wines, but there were not so many people at that time. Generally, one family represented one by one, and everyone had to drink it when they were grooms.

Suddenly, I saw that there was no cloud in the evening sky, the light blue sky was so high, and the winter sun was almost repelling its last afterglow. There were only a few dark yellow and a little silence in the sky and around me.

At this time, Sun Gang and Zhao Han were walking on the path by the pond, but when the sun set in the sunset, they pulled their shadows to the elders. The cold wind swept the last few leaves on the treetops, the birds flapped their wings and flew to its beloved nest at full speed, or disappeared in shock when they disappeared deep in the distant dense forest.

There is still a trace of white snow on the top of the mountain in the distance, which is the residual snow that has not been cleared last time.

The evening of winter is extremely short. From the sunset to the darkness of dusk, if you don’t pay attention to it, it will pass by you; the evening of winter is also erratic, from the afterglow to the hazy darkness, if you don’t observe it wholeheartedly, it will be fleeting. However, even that short period makes you feel the unique calmness, maturity and wisdom in life; or, even that erratic moment, it releases the ultimate of life without reservation, thereby experiencing the shortness of life and the extra cherishment of life.

The sky blew faint white clouds, thinly mounted on the celestial top. The sun was not dazzling, but just smiled gently at you in the west sky, and finally blushed and slowly ran to the other side of the mountain.

At dusk in winter, the earth is quiet and the sky is vast. The dim setting sun hides in the west in just a moment.

Sun Gang filled the food and water basins and breathed a sigh of relief. These chickens and ducks were all half-sized and very edible. As the saying goes, "I am poor when I eat half-sized." Although this is an inappropriate metaphor, it means that the problem is.

Get some grass out of the space to add to the sheep, and the two little lambs also started to eat grass. They were half grass and half milk. Seeing their tender little mouths chewing on the grass, Zhao Han was melted by their cute appearance, and he lay down by the wall and watched them eat grass.
