Chapter 497 Full Moon Wine

Su Xiaoruan sent Second Grandma back home, and left two catties of fresh flower cakes and two catties of white meringue washed sand cakes. On the way back, she made a detour to Third Grandma's house, and left one catty of each of the two kinds of snacks. It just so happened that Xiaoshui and Xiaomu were both cleaned up by the third grandma, but these two were overjoyed.

"Little aunt, you have been back for several days, and we haven't seen you."

"That's right, we heard that you were back, so we went to look for you, but the little grandpa said that you went to the county."

Su Xiaoruan grabbed a handful of glutinous rice sticks from her bag and gave them to the two of them. The two of them were reluctant to eat, and after sharing one stick, they put them in their pockets.

The third grandma in the room called the two of them to come in and let them eat the snacks brought by Su Xiaoruan. They hesitated for a while before sharing a piece.

"Oh, it's so delicious! Where did you buy it, little aunt? I've never eaten such a delicious thing."

Su Xiaoruan was also happy to see that they were satisfied.

"Okay, you stay here with the third grandma, I'll go back first. If you need help, you can find me at home."

"Let's send off little aunt."

"No, hurry up and pour some water to drink, don't choke anymore."

Zhao Yingzi came back with the child this time, not only because it was convenient for her family to take care of her, but also because the full moon wine was going to be served.

This full moon wine must be displayed in the village, it is not easy to display it in the county, after all, relatives live in the country.

There are not many colleagues Su Xiangdong wants to invite here, plus some classmates and friends, at most two tables will be set up. There are many relatives in the family, but not many are eligible to come to the table.

Why?

According to the rules here, whoever drinks the full moon wine must be the elder of the little baby, no matter how bad it is, it must be a brother or sister-in-law.

But Su Xiangdong's family has a long history, and there are really not many elders who can be his baby.

Therefore, based on his own communication, Su Jianye calculated that there would be a total of ten tables.

In addition to relatives, there are also some good folks in the village, and some friends of Su Jianye himself. Now because of the mushroom processing factory, he is considered a celebrity. He has a grandson, and many people come to congratulate him up.

Zhao Hongmei looked over the general list: "We only have ten tables here, what about Zhao's?"

The Zhao family that Zhao Hongmei mentioned were relatives of Zhao Yingzi's family, and the ten tables that Su Jianye mentioned already included relatives of Zhao Hongmei's natal family.

According to their customs, the most honored guests of this full moon wine are those from the mother's natal family.

However, the relationship between Zhao Yingzi and the Zhao family is not close, and the Su family entered for such a reason, and there were several quarrels before getting married, so it is hard to say how many people can come to the Zhao family.

"When Xiang Dong comes back on the weekend, let him go to Zhao's house, and ask him about how many people are there, and then we will make more inquiries."

Zhao Hongmei had no objection, since the last time Zhao Dacheng's son had a fever and almost died, the attitude of Zhao Dacheng's family towards Zhao Yingzi was very good.

Although the conditions of the Zhao family were not as good as theirs, they knew that they would move around during the New Year's Eve.

Zhao Yingzi didn't have a deep relationship with them, so he was lucky not to hate them.

Zhao Hongmei didn't persuade Yingzi too much. After all, the hardships Yingzi had suffered back then were obvious to all. He was almost beaten to death and sold off. For this, Zhao Yingzi would never forgive that family in his life.

It's good to maintain a superficial relationship, and we can't expect more.

If you come to have a drink, you must invite someone to cook.

Zhao Hongmei is good at cooking, but she is the master, so she can't work in the kitchen by herself.

It was Su Xiangdong who had a wide network of contacts, so he invited a chef from a state-owned restaurant in the county to come over to cook.

The chef came here with two apprentices himself, and the Su family only needed to find three or four people who could help with washing dishes, choosing vegetables, washing dishes and washing dishes.

In the countryside, marriage and the full moon of a child are both great events, and they must be held in a big way, and the dishes on the table must be selected from the best.

The conditions of the Red Star Brigade are much better than those of the past few years, but other people’s home cooking banquets are at most one or two meat dishes, and most of the others are vegetarian.

Su Jianye also didn't want his home to be too conspicuous, so as not to attract people's envy.

"I bought chickens and ducks from the farm. These things are ready-made. In addition, the big pot dishes are stewed pork vermicelli, and some pork belly is delicious."

"I think it's okay. The chef has to come over and work for two days. Master, do you want croquettes?"

"No way, the full moon wine here is not so particular, but we have to prepare noodles."

The custom here is that before the banquet, each person has a small bowl of vermicelli in clear soup, that is, there are just a few sticks.

Can't come up with a big bowl, I'm full, so what else is there to prepare for the next meal?
"I still have to go to the farm to buy two more baskets of eggs. I need them for dinner, and I don't have many at home."

In recent years, the family has never broken eggs.

Especially after having a farm, Grandma Su or Zhao Hongmei would often go to the farm to buy or exchange.

During the full moon wine, many people will definitely come over with eggs. This is considered a gift, but there is no wine yet, so the eggs have to be exchanged for some.

"Then let's just wait until the time comes and buy the pork in advance. We have to ask the chef, how much pork do we have to prepare?"

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. It doesn't matter if there are too many, but we can't have less, and let others laugh at us for being stingy."

The couple had almost reached an agreement, and they just waited for Su Xiangdong to go to Zhao's house.

When Su Xiangdong went to Zhao's house, he also brought a gift.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly invited people into the house, and sent her little grandson to the field to call for people to come back.

"Mom, I'm here this time mainly to ask about the full moon wine."

Mrs. Zhao had discussed it with her family members before. Although they wanted to ease the relationship with Yingzi, they also knew that Yingzi was hurt too deeply at the beginning, and now they have to take their time if they want to ease up.

"We don't have many people here. Apart from our family, there are only Yingzi's aunts and sisters-in-law. There is no one at my mother's house, and I haven't moved around for many years, so I won't notify you."

"Alright then, how many tables do you think are suitable?"

Mrs. Zhao was not polite to him either, she thought for a while and said, "Two tables are enough for Tian'er. I try not to let them bring their children there."

Su Xiangdong understood what the old lady meant. Most people would bring one or two children to eat and drink with them when there were wines in the countryside. The main reason was that they were poor and couldn't eat good things at ordinary times.

"It doesn't matter. Let's bring all the children in our family. Children can't eat much. We plan to stew a big pot of vegetables, and it's not bad."
