The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 205

The moon-watching banquet was scheduled to officially start at two o'clock in the afternoon, and at eleven o'clock in the morning, as soon as the guests from afar arrived, the women of the Zhao family were busy ordering noodles, cooking marinade, and persuading the guests to snack first dessert.

At this time, in the sentence "Dianxin", the preceding "Dianxin" is a verb, and the latter "Dianxin" is a noun.The so-called "dim sum" by ordinary people in central Shandong actually has two choices, one is boiled dumplings, and the other is stewed noodles.

There are only a few grand celebrations for common people, such as getting married, having a child, and going to college. As for engagement banquets and promotion banquets, although they are also considered happy events, they are relatively cheap. For the above three items, the festive elements are weaker.

Here, the biggest happy event is getting married.As the saying goes, red and white things, this red thing is about marriage, and white things are about funerals.

The dim sum for weddings must be dumplings. No matter how busy you are, you must make enough dumplings for everyone to eat.There are a lot of things to be busy when getting married. From the beginning to the end, young people get married, and parents have to scratch the surface.

Compared with wedding banquets, the two things of giving birth and taking college entrance examinations are not so particular. The so-called dim sum has been downgraded from dumplings to stewed noodles.

The quality of stewed noodles depends on the stew. If the stew is cooked well, the noodles are delicious.In the Zhao family, Zhao Shitang is a farmer's cook, whoever has a happy event in the family will be in charge of the cooking.But in the current situation, he definitely can't be in charge.And Zhao Shitang's wife is also a master of cooking, and the stew cooked is delicious, especially Zhao Shitang's wife's knife skills, which are absolutely amazing.Zhao Shitang's wife cut the shredded pork very thinly, and the stewed meat tasted quite good.

After Wang Shaodong accompanied the distinguished guests to finish eating snacks, the next step was next.

There are multiple choices for the next process after the snacks are finished. Guests can go around with the company of the host's chosen companion, which is commonly known as letting go.Of course, you can also choose to stay in the host's house and not come out, chatting with the accompanying guests, talking about family matters and so on.In general, young people and women like to let go, while older people like to stay still.

There was a time difference of two hours between the snack and the formal banquet, and the wedding banquet officially started after two hours.

The wedding banquet of Zhao Shihai's son Wangyuezi was held in An Gang's Zhuanghu Restaurant.Some time ago, my nephew Wang Shaodong drank fake wine in the Zhuanghu restaurant, and then went to their restaurant to make a fuss. After it was over, An Gang went to Wang's house to apologize with something.For An Gang, Zhao Shihai chose to forgive him.

Because the Zhao family is a big family, Zhao Shihai asked Zhao Yubin to specifically instruct An Gang that at noon, this farmer's restaurant should not accept other people, and the entire restaurant was taken over by the Zhao family.

The Zhao family is a big family in Qingquanling, even if they don't have many guests, it's not a problem for them to sit at three tables or two. In fact, there are only seven or eight private rooms in Zhuanghu's restaurant.

Among the distinguished guests who came, the male seat was Yi Zhuo, and the female seat had at least two tables.In addition, Zhao Shiling and the others also got one table, and relatives and friends who spent more money got four tables, so that would be eight tables. As for the head of the Zhao family, it has not yet been settled.

As soon as the distinguished guests from Taocheng City came, Zhao Shitang calculated that if his family was included, there would be at least ten tables at this banquet, and then hurriedly asked Zhao Shitao to go to the Zhuanghu restaurant in person.

After the refreshments, Wang Shaodong played cards with the two male distinguished guests, and at 01:30 in the afternoon, Zhao Shitang came over to urge the distinguished guests to drink tea in the restaurant.

In 2003, there were some happy events in the countryside, and most of them still asked the farmer's cook to cook at home, and then asked two younger students to deliver the dishes to the banquet with a passing plate.However, people with good conditions have learned to be smart now and started to order food directly in restaurants.

After 2012, almost all people will order food from restaurants when they have a happy event.

Zhao Shihai can be regarded as relatively advanced, and he would order food in restaurants in 2003.

Cooking at home is much cheaper than ordering food in a restaurant.However, the biggest advantage of ordering food in a restaurant is that it saves trouble.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Wang Shaodong and Zhao Yubin still arranged to accompany the distinguished guests and serve tea and wine.

The two guests who came didn't want to drink despite the Zhao family's persuasion, which made the Zhao family feel a little embarrassed.For a wedding, if no one gets drunk, it seems that the host is not interesting.

Of course I’m hungry, these thoughts are all past thoughts, and in the future, due to various lessons, everyone will have to think more about it when persuading them to drink.

The official banquet began. First, everyone present began to drink under the leadership of an eloquent person.

Even if it is really undrinkable, at the banquet in the countryside, you will be persuaded to get drunk by the cumbersome custom of giving wine.

People who persuade you to drink know many tricks to persuade you to drink, such as ups and downs, double happiness, etc. There are many reasons to make you drink.

A banquet is like a wonderful palace fight scene. The purpose of persuading the guests is to persuade the guests to drink, while the principle of the guests is to drink less and not get drunk. In the end, the two sides fought wits and bravely. After getting acquainted and becoming friends, the banquet has come to an end.

The people at the banquet had already drank with each other, but at this time, the good show had just begun, and the next one was the big show of persuading people to drink.

As the saying goes, if you don't get drunk after drinking, you are afraid that the person who persuades you to drink will be difficult to deal with.

But in all happy events, there is a saying of persuading people to drink.

If you meet someone who doesn't know the customs and becomes a distinguished guest in the countryside in the central Shandong area, you will get drunk even if you have a lot of alcohol.

People who persuade people to drink wine start from the estrangement of blood relationship. The first to come up is the family farthest from the owner, and then there is an introducer next to him, saying that the person who persuaded him to drink is his brother or something. After the meal, the distinguished guest had to drink up.But after this start, the relationship with the host's family will get closer and closer, and the distinguished guests will have to drink.

For a big family like the Zhao family, when it comes to weddings, from Zhao Shihai's farthest nephew to Zhao Shihai himself, at least [-] or [-] people go in to persuade them to drink. After this meal, the distinguished guests have to drink at least a catty of wine up.

This kind of wheel battle is extremely destructive, and in the end, most of the distinguished guests just lay down under the table.

Wang Shaodong is a local, so he naturally knows the customs and habits. When he met someone who came to persuade him to drink, he used a pretense to go to the toilet and ran out to hide.

Finally, the busy day of confinement was over, Wang Shaodong and Zhao Shiling both drank some wine, and then Zhao Shihai arranged a car to take them home.
