Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 54 Yunhua Gets Married ([-])

After giving the bride price, the Tong family became even more busy. Tong Yunhua's west wing house was directly used as a new house. It was painted a while ago, and now it has completely dried.Qin moved the wooden couch, tables and chairs that had been made into the new house and settled them down.The windows were also re-pasted with paper. The snow-white paper was treated with grease and pasted on the outside of the window. This is because the northeast wind is too strong, and if it is pasted inside, it will be easily blown off by the wind.The cleaned-up house looked brand new, and the children in the family ran into the house curiously, causing Qin to kick them out.

The rule in Yanjiang Village is that the whole family comes to the banquet with the gift. There are 27 families in Yanjiang Village, plus those who give off their relatives, and drummers, etc., so they have to prepare at least 26 tables. Qin bought a pig On the 24th, I was going to kill the meat for cooking, but there was still not enough meat, so on the 26th of September, Yun Bai and Yun Feng went to the town to order some meat from a few butchers in the town, and came to pick it up on the 26th. .The Qin family loved this old son the most, so he had to handle it well, and put elbows on every table, so 20 elbows alone would be ordered.There are three pig butchers in this town, and all their knuckles these days must be ordered in advance.There is also more pork belly, which is necessary for making braised pork.There are also chickens. Whole chickens are served at the wedding banquet. There are more than [-] chickens in the family, and ten of them are roosters, so I have to buy another twenty.A table with whole chicken and elbows is already first-class, usually one of them, so if you get these two important things, the banquet will be considered complete.

Miaoling Village in Yanjiang Village takes two hours, so you can't use sedan chairs, you have to use car sedan chairs.No one will prepare this thing alone, they will rent it from a special rental place in the town, so the two of them went to order a whole set of things for welcoming their relatives, including the sedan chair for the bride and the horse for the groom. , a trumpeter for getting married, and a carriage for receiving the natal family. This carriage is also specially made, and it is larger than ordinary carriages.The two set a date to pick it up, paid the fixed money, and then returned to Tong's house.

On September 26, the two brothers went to the town again and took back all the ordered items.And Tong Yunsong also picked up all the fish that he had caught and put in the small pit he made before. There were more than 40 fish in total, and it took two wooden barrels to put them back.Then I led my sons into the mountains again. I sold all the things I hunted in the mountains a while ago, and I can keep the things I hunted in the mountains today to add vegetables to the wedding banquet.The Dalang brothers have followed their father into the mountains these days, and they have all practiced archery well, and everyone can gain something.When I came back at night, my father was carrying his back and carrying it so much that he could hardly carry it anymore.Seeing that it was getting late, Fang waited outside the door. Seeing the situation, she hurriedly asked Yun Bai and the others to come out and help get it.Mrs. Qin also came out. Seeing that today's prey is abundant enough, there are two wild boars, seven pheasants, six hares, and what's more surprising is that there are two roe deer. There are so many things, I don't know what they are. How did you get it back.Qin was very happy, "Oh, that's great, this may save a lot of things, Yunsong, go into the house and rest for a while, the children ran with you for a day, and came back with all these things, You're all exhausted." This was the first time Qin spoke so softly to her son and grandson.

Yun Song led the sons to wash up, and then sat down at the table and started to eat. The children were so hungry that they gorged themselves on the table, and Qin didn't say anything this time.The food was almost finished, Yun Song asked Qin Shi: "Mother, do you think there is anything missing, I can go to the mountain for a day tomorrow, and I will bring some back."

"There are fewer rabbits and pheasants. It would be better if there were more of them. I've seen enough of the others." Qin thought for a while and said.

"Okay, then I'll go into the mountains tomorrow to see if I can hunt some more rabbits and pheasants." Yun Song nodded.

On the morning of September 27, Tong Yunsong led his son into the mountains again.Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Zhou and a few daughter-in-laws who came to help started to process these fish and meat together.At the end of the hour, the chef invited by Tong's family also arrived. The stove had been built on the side of the yard, and three pots were lined up side by side. The chef came to take a look, nodded with satisfaction, and led the disciples to start preparing tomorrow's banquet.That is to say, put all the oil that needs to be oiled, and put all the things that need to be cooked in advance into the pot and add seasoning.Like braised pork, it needs to be boiled for a period of time, then taken out, and a layer of honey or brown sugar is applied on the skin of the pork, so that the color looks good, and then oiled.There are also meatballs, fish, etc., which must be fried first and put away. When the wedding banquet is held, it can be directly mixed with sauce and thickened.Those whole chickens and knuckles need to be cooked first, as well as wild pork. The Qin family saw that there was a lot of wild pork, so they said it was still rotten, so just cut it into thin slices and serve it on the table.Some other things should be cut and chopped, and the dozen or so helpers are busy there.

Yuxian is not idle either, she is pasting happy characters and window grilles on Yunhua's room, and in some places she is not tall enough, so she asks Junjie to help, Qin Shi has spoken early in the morning, asking Junjie to help first Yuxian posted the happy word, so Junjie and the others dared not listen to Yuxian's words. "Brother Junxi, you paste this on the barn." Yu Xian wiped some paste on the happy words, and then took two horns to ask Junjie to paste, and Junxi left with the happy words. "Brother Junjie, these two big happy characters have to be pasted on the gate." Yuxian wiped off two big happy characters again, and Junjie posted them on the gate. "Brother Junjie, the one on the east side should be shorter, it's too high." Yu Xian followed behind and directed, "Yes, lower, yes, that's it, that's it." Then it was the door, the inner door, and the window. Come on, decorate Yun Hua's room with joy.The three Junjie brothers were instructed by Yuxian to go around, and finally finished posting, and they sat down to rest when they were tired. "Sister Yuxian, are you tired? Is your voice okay this afternoon?" Juntao asked.

"Brother Juntao, I'm tired too. Isn't this for the fourth uncle's marriage? If it were someone else, who could order us?" Yuxian was so tired that her hands were sore.

Yun Bai and Yun Feng were outside putting roofs on the sedan chairs for welcoming the bride, these things were disassembled when the owner came, and they were put on the roof when they were used.It was finally fixed, and the red silk on the car was also finished. At this time, the drummers who had been ordered from the town also came, there were four of them in total.The rule here is that the trumpeter must have lunch at the man's side before going to meet the bride, so the Qin family has already arranged a banquet for those who go to meet the bride.

In addition to the bridegroom, there are also matchmakers, two bridesmaids, and a sedan chair boy.The two brides-to-be are Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhao who delivered the baby. They are both of the same age, both born in the same age, and they have both children.The boy who pressed the sedan chair was Tong Juntao. Junqi was too young to leave the Zhou family, so he let Juntao go.

At noon, the people who greeted the relatives, all the helpers, as well as the apprentice chef, plus the people from Tong's family, opened a total of five tables. The dishes were all good, and everyone ate very happily.After lunch, the master cook started to work again, and Yun Bai Yunfeng led several people who filled the village to borrow tables, stools, dishes, etc.

The people who greeted the relatives also set off. Tong Yunhua was dressed in new clothes and rode on a bay red horse.The bride-to-be and matchmaker, as well as Juntao sitting in the sedan chair, cannot be left empty.The drummer followed behind the sedan chair, whistling all the way to Miaoling Village.

Yuxian saw the drummers walking, but there was an empty carriage behind, so she asked her mother, "Mother, do these drummers have to go all the way to the bride's house? That's so tiring."

"No, they will go around our village first. This is called a bright sedan chair. After leaving the village, they don't need to blow and beat. They all sit in the carriage behind. When they are about to reach the woman's house, they will come down again and blow and beat again. I know I'm here to greet you." Fang explained to her daughter.

"Oh. I see. Then when I welcome my relatives back tomorrow, is it the same?"

"Tomorrow won't work. It's very tiring to play until the bridegroom's house." Fang told her daughter with a smile, "So those who are far away should give the drummer an extra red envelope."

The mother and daughter were talking while working. Master Yunsong came back, and Fang led his daughter to greet him, "Father, how is today?"

"That's right, look, we hunted ten rabbits and eight pheasants. Yesterday, Mother said that there is not much else missing, so I hunted these alone today." Yun Song showed Fang the spoils of the day.

"Father, brother, you guys are awesome. You managed to hunt so many back. You guys are going to kill all the prey on the mountain, right?" Yuxian really wanted to follow him to see why Tong Yunsong's hunting results were so good?I'm afraid she hunted all the animals on the mountain.

"Silly sister, you haven't gone hunting before. There are so many animals in the mountains. It would be so easy to hunt them all. When you are older, let our father take you there too, and you will know when the time comes." Da Lang rubbed Yuxian's little head and said with a smile.

Just as they were joking, there was movement outside the door. It turned out that it was Tong Yunlian, Tong Yunhe and Tong Yunfang who led their family members. Xiaojuan and her son-in-law, who had just married this year, also came.A large group of people rushed into the yard at once, "Yo, Yun Song, I really did a lot today." Tong Yunlian greeted Yun Song with a smile.

Dalang and the others hurriedly called out: "Auntie, Uncle, Second Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Third Aunt." And the brothers and sisters behind them all greeted each other, and Tong Yunlian led everyone in. I went to see Mr. Tong and Mrs. Qin in the house.

Mrs. Qin was naturally happy to see her daughters, and they were chatting affectionately in the room. There was a neighing of horses outside, and Mrs. Qin was taken aback, and immediately realized, "Maybe I know your old aunt is back, I have brought her a long time ago. Xin'er is here." Hastily got up and went outside to greet him.

There was a carriage parked outside the door, and several people got on and off the carriage. The middle one was a woman in her 50s, fat and white, dressed in deep maroon satin, with a forehead inlaid with emeralds on her head, and slightly gray hair. An emerald hairpin was inserted, and a man and a woman were supporting the old lady, followed by two boys.

"Yo, sister, it's really you who came back." Qin Shi saw that it was her sister-in-law.

　Send the second update, and then escape to cook, New Year's Eve dinner, here I come.
