Chapter 167: There was a commotion at the wedding banquet
There are several roads from Banpo Village to Liumu Village. One of them is to go directly over the north mountain of Banpo Village and take the trail in the mountain.
Of course, you can also take the road, but in that case, you have to go around the boss. The advantage is that you can ride a bicycle directly there.
But when riding a bicycle in this winter, the north wind blowing on my face is like a knife cutting my face. Especially when the cold wind blows in my face, passing through my cuffs and collar, it goes straight into the seams of my bones.
Geng Jizong's legs and feet were not flexible, so naturally he could not walk on mountain roads.
Song Juan was afraid of the cold and decided to take the mountain road.
So, on the day when the family in Liumu Village got married, Song Juan took her two dogs and set out alone.
The weather was not very good, it was gloomy.
The northwest wind blew and hit my face, it was really cold.
Song Juan wrapped herself up until only her eyes were visible, and walked very quickly along the rugged mountain road.
When she entered the forest, the wind finally stopped blowing her.
But, the sound of the wind whistling through the pine forest makes people feel really cold in their hearts.
Fortunately, I was still warm after walking all this way.
Climb all the way to the top of the North Mountain, and as long as you climb over, you will reach Liumu Village.
Liumu Village is smaller than Banpo Village and is a solid mountain village.
The village is located on the flat land at the foot of the mountain between two mountains, with a total of sixty or seventy households.
Because someone in the village was getting married, the bright red "Happy" characters had been posted on the walls along the village road early. When Song Juan ran down the mountain and saw the bright red "Happy" characters, she felt quite good.
"Juan'er, here!"
Song Juan was just thinking about whether to ask someone for directions when she heard Li Wan's shout.
Well, the one who took the detour arrived first.
Thinking about it, although the detour is a bit far, you can use transportation. Although she took a shortcut, the distance is calculated based on legs.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here so quickly?"
Song Juan walked towards Li Wan and asked casually.
"lucky!"
Li Wan smiled and said, "We just arrived at the entrance of the village and we met a large truck passing by. We hitched a ride!"
After hearing Li Wan's words, Song Juan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
She has always been a representative of good luck, but this time, she obviously got herself into a trap.
"Let's go, let's go, the dishes are almost ready, it's time for you, the chef, to come on!"
"It's still early!"
Song Juan looked at the sky, it was still a short time before noon!
"Why don't you get some stew ready?"
Li Wan rolled her eyes at Song Juan.
Song Juan responded with an even bigger eye roll and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is that I don't even know what they are going to cook. How would I know?"
"How many more dishes do you think we can make?"
"The situation in Liumu Village is no better than our village!"
"Right!"
Song Juan suddenly remembered that in this era, lack of supplies is the norm.
After all, transportation is underdeveloped and production capacity is low.
However, for the villagers, as long as there is meat in a meal, it is a good meal. It is not like the later generations. Without it, there are not many dishes, and everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water is given to you.
Even though they were all here, they all felt that the banquet was not up to par.
As Li Wan arrived at the home where she was getting married, the other party saw Song Juan coming and quickly thanked her.
This enthusiasm made Song Juan feel a little embarrassed.
Now that you're here, let's get to work!
Make the stew!
A rabbit stewed with radish. The rabbit was bought from Banpo Village.
A cabbage stewed with chicken.
Another pork stew vermicelli!
The three stews are full of meat.
Then comes the salad.
A cold cabbage heart, a pig ear mixed with bean sprouts, and a cold pork skin jelly.
That’s six dishes!
Of course, cooking is also available!
Stir-fried pork head and green onions!
A vinegary shredded potato!
Finally add a chopped green onion and egg soup.
Eight dishes and one soup!
This table is really good.
Compared with the time when Li Wan and Geng Wenxuan got married, this dinner was even better.
"Sister-in-law, this banquet is okay!"
Song Juan had seen this family's house. Judging from the condition of the house, it was impossible to afford such a banquet.
"The old man gave some money tickets!"
Li Wan smiled and gave an explanation.
Song Juan understood immediately.
Because of their ancestral relationship, this family must have found Geng Jizong and borrowed some money from the old man to make the wedding banquet quite high-end.
However, Song Juan was very confused, what about it?
How much gift money can I receive for such a good meal?
Borrowing money to create a scene, is it because the family is not smart, or does their new daughter-in-law have ideas?
Song Juan just thought about it for a while and then didn't think about it any more. She just ignored the matter as it had nothing to do with her.
Everyone has their own life to live, and Song Juan is not familiar with this family. It is purely because of their old man and the respect of her godfather that she comes to help with the cooking.
As for how this family's life will turn out in the future, that is their own business.
When the banquet started, Song Juan also saw the bride.
I have to say, the bride is quite good-looking.
As for the bride's natal family, everyone looked at her with a conceited attitude, and Song Juan didn't doubt that she was reincarnated as a starving ghost.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on with the bride?"
"I don't know, he's not from our commune, he's from the Moshan Township commune in the north. Look, he doesn't seem to be very talkative!"
"I feel so too!"
Song Juan resisted the temptation to look at the bride's luck. After all, it felt like an invasion of privacy to look at someone's situation without permission.
Besides, it has nothing to do with them staggering today.
So, why bother?
"Sister-in-law, if nothing happens, I'll go back first!"
Song Juan saw that she had nothing to do and was ready to leave.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You won't leave until you have eaten?"
"No more eating!"
"I just cooked and I feel full from the smell!"
Although the meal was of high quality, Song Juan really had no appetite.
She likes to cook delicious food, but doesn't like to be a chef, and here's why.
One or two delicacies make you feel good, and eating them makes you happy.
How can I feel like doing so much at once? Let alone other things.
After Song Juan talked to Li Wan, she went to find her godfather, ready to leave after just saying a word.
As a result, when Song Juan came closer, she saw the groom and the bride talking to Geng Jizong, hoping that Geng Jizong could help the bride find a job in the commune.
Geng Jizong didn't even show favoritism to his own wife, so how could he help others?
As a result, after Geng Jizong politely refused, the bride and the groom started to quarrel.
"We agreed at the beginning that I would marry you and you would help me find a job!"
"There is nothing now. Is your family trying to get married by fraud?"
The bride didn't care that it was still a wedding banquet and the guests were still there, so she started quarreling with the groom.
Chapter completed!
