Chapter 263 Banquet
"Where is the meat? It's impossible to buy meat these days, and we don't raise pigs, otherwise we will kill them." A person came in and said.

Aunt Ma recognized it immediately. This man seemed to be Ma Xiaoxiao's husband's elder brother.

To say that they are not separated now, they all live together.

This house looks small, and there are so many people to live in. Why didn't Ma Xiaoxiao consider this at the beginning.

Aunt Ma snorted and looked down on this family a bit, but then she thought about it, this Ma Xiaoxiao is just a girl after all, it is a good thing that she finally got married, and she doesn't need to ask too many things.

At this time, someone came in with a basket of eggs, which seemed to be a gift from someone.

The younger woman next to Aunt Ma said: "Scramble these eggs, it will add a little more flavor to the dishes."

Without meat, scrambled eggs are also good, otherwise it will be a real joke.

But this is the man's house after all, and it's not their turn to talk, and the other party didn't speak, and just put the egg away and put it in the cabinet, as if afraid that they would take the egg away.

Although Ma Xiaoxiao married the second wife, that is, his younger brother, but his younger brother's marriage was also handled by him. When his younger brother got married, he even lent two taels of silver, otherwise his younger brother would not be able to marry Ma Xiaoxiao. Small.

Marrying a daughter-in-law these days must cost money.

In the future, they will live together anyway, so he put away these gifts, except for a few blood relatives who took some money, the rest are basically prepared food.

Oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are all given away, miscellaneous. These things seem strange at first glance, but they are all useful.

He thought it was good, so he put everything in the kitchen.

The kitchen is small in the first place, and there are some things that almost fill the kitchen, which can be seen at a glance.

They didn't prepare much food at first, but if they save it now, it's still too late, whoever called so many people, unexpectedly someone took two pieces of tofu.

It looks like they are here to eat and drink.

"It's enough to fry these dishes well. Why do you overdo it? It's a waste if you can't finish it. At that time, these ingredients will be wasted in vain."

Now that everyone on the man's side has said so, if they make suggestions again, it will make people feel disgusted.

Even so, looking at a pile of clear soup with little water, I have no idea of ​​eating at all.

Anyway, it was also a happy event, which made the atmosphere disappear.

In fact, if it really makes people look down on him, if he didn't make this happy event well, he would not only lose Ma Xiaoxiao's face, but he, as the eldest brother, would also lose face.After all, this is a family.

However, he is short-sighted and only sees the benefits in the immediate vicinity. As for the distant scenery, he doesn't care at all.

There is a lot of water in the pot of wild vegetables.

Then I started to stir-fry the vegetables, and there was not much oil in them, so I couldn't fry them at all. In the end, I put a lot of water to cook the vegetables.

There is also a little kohlrabi, which is from last year. After being marinated, it has been kept for a long time.

"This kohlrabi can be eaten as it is, no need to fry it."

The meaning of not frying is to dislike waste of oil.

The Ma family was a little unhappy.

This kohlrabi is a good thing. After it is cut and fried, it tastes good. It is actually edible if it is eaten like this.

But there are not many dishes in the first place, and it is even more ugly to treat the kohlrabi as a side dish and put it on the plate as a pickle

Aunt Ma just looked at it, "Let's fry it with some oil."

She had seen a long time ago that there was still half a can of lard in the kitchen. They must have saved it during the winter, and they were reluctant to eat it on weekdays. They should be used for such special occasions.

"No, no, just cut it like this and put it directly on the plate."

……

Several people began to chop the kohlrabi.

This kohlrabi is actually not worth the money.

Because it has been stored for a long time, there are many people who grow kohlrabi.

Aunt Ma has great strength, but her patience is not very good. After cutting for a while, she became a little tired.

These kohlrabi were to be shredded, and they would look good on a plate. Taking advantage of no one's attention, she stuffed a kohlrabi into her mouth, and narrowed her eyes in distaste.

"It doesn't smell at all," she murmured.

It's better to fry and eat.

The person next to him was working very hard, cutting the kohlrabi hard, and he just needed to finish the work quickly.

After everyone finished cutting the kohlrabi, someone asked, "What else should I do?"

As for Ma Xiaoxiao’s marriage to this family, although it’s not very good, the popularity seems to be good. More and more people come, and there are many gifts outside. As long as someone brings food, someone will put things into the kitchen pass.

This time someone brought red beans again.

Red beans are beans that can be made into red bean rice or red bean porridge, which is a common meal.People who are more particular will make red bean cakes.

There are also people on this street who cut red beans into small pieces and sell them as buns filled with red bean paste.

But this is just a businessman, ordinary people don't cook such complicated food.

People think more than they do, and there are actually not many tables outside.

However, everyone in the village and outside the village is very simple. After giving gifts, they just find a place to sit.Even squatting, they can still eat this meal.

The gongs and drums were beating outside, Yun Yiyi looked outside and saw a familiar figure, even though she was wearing a red hijab, she could recognize that it was Ma Xiaoxiao.

This is getting married.

It looked really festive.

"Give way."

I don't know who yelled, and the people in the yard dispersed, leaving only one road.

Someone carried the bride on his back.

Yun Yiyi found it interesting, "This is how marriage ceremonies are done here."

She realized that she had said the wrong thing, after all, the original owner was married, but Yan Qinghe had a peaceful face, as if she didn't hear her strange tone.

"That's right, the bride's brother will carry her in. If there is no brother, then the father will do it." Yan Qing said.

When Yun Yiyi married in back then, it was Yun Baotian who carried her on his back, that's the custom here.

That's how it turned out, Yun Yiyi stood on tiptoe, wanting to see the groom, there were too many of them, and she was not tall, so there was a dark crowd in front of her, she couldn't see anything.

As soon as the bride came in, everyone was naturally attracted.

As she was working hard, she felt light in her body.

Yan Qinghe hugged her from behind.

Yun Yiyi was taken aback, and was about to struggle when she heard Yan Qinghe ask softly: "Did you see it?"

His breath was quietly behind her ear, with a kind of bewitching.

Yun Yiyi followed his words and began to search.

She finally saw it.

This horse is small and her husband doesn't look very old.

She didn't expect to get married at such a young age, which made her a little disappointed.

The groom's skin was dark, and he looked like he had done some work, but he was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old.

They are still children.

Marriage was really early in ancient times.

Her voice was muffled: "Well, I saw it."

Yan Qinghe was sensible, so he put down his hands.

The two cubs were shorter, and they were almost invisible in the crowd, but the cubs were also smart, and kept grabbing Yan Qinghe's legs.

One on each side, very symmetrical.

Originally, Yan Dashuang was holding Yun Yiyi's leg, but Yun Yiyi kept looking up on his toes and jumped up during the period, so he knew he would give up and chose Yan Qinghe's thigh as the next best thing.

"Mother, what do you look at, you also need to look at the nest." Zai Zai said immediately.

They were so crowded that they could barely breathe.

Yun Yiyi hummed, this is the trouble of bringing the cubs out, because they are always curious, but Yan Dashuang and Yan Xiaoshuang are actually considered relatively easy children to take with them, after all, they won't cry for no reason.

Probably because of the happy life, the two cubs opened their big round eyes and only wanted to find food.

Yun Yiyi lifted Yan Xiaoshuang up, it was higher than her head, she was full of confidence, but when she really lifted it, she realized...it was a bit heavy.

Originally thought that Yan Xiaoshuang would be lighter, but it seems that she was thinking too much.

Yan Xiaoshuang was also taken aback, it was the first time he was lifted so high, he was so frightened that he shrank into a ball like a quail egg, and even forgot to look ahead.

"I'm looking at the groom, did you see it?" Yun Yiyi said.

Yan Dashuang was so excited that he almost jumped up, "We also need to see the nest."

Yan Xiaoshuang moved his eyes and searched slowly, and then he saw a group of people.

Yun Yiyi said: "The one in red."

"Oh." Xiao Zai Zai saw it this time, but he didn't feel anything. These people are not as good-looking as their mothers, he thought to himself.

Here, Yan Dashuang was also lifted up by Yan Qinghe.He kept twisting and turning, curious to see everything.

After a while, someone came up to add hot water.

There is boiled water that can be drunk in the basin, and there are naturally some people who drink the water. After all, if someone rushes over, they will also be thirsty.It is also good for someone to come up to add water.

But soon, everyone found out that they were wrong.

Someone whispered, "Is there no wine?"

It's a wedding, don't drink this boiled water as a drink, they all gave gifts, so naturally they have to eat more, it's best to take this back.

The rule is to serve the wine before the food is served. The food has not been served yet, so it should not be the case. Some people are taking chances.

As a result, the dishes began to be served later.

The women of Ma's family also felt ashamed, they were supposed to put the dishes on the table, but now they didn't want to, so they found a place to sit and let the man's family do the work.

In fact, I just made a few dishes, and they were all ingredients.

Boiled wild vegetables, cold wild vegetables, fried green vegetables, and a cold kohlrabi.

It is said to be a cold dish, even with less salt.

For such a meal, there is not even oil and water, it is a shame.

This is the thought in Ma's heart.

Anyway, these people won't say anything, so what if they have opinions?Marrying Ma Xiaoxiao still cost a lot of money. They hold banquets, so they can save as much as they can, and save some money.

Ma Xiaoxiao was already married anyway, so she definitely wouldn't care.

The family's abacus was clattering, remembering that they had also received a lot of gifts, and they could almost collect the capital.
