Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 153 Getting Married
That night, Ban Xia slept a little restlessly.

On the other hand, Gu Ya'er was tired from running around during the day, fell asleep as soon as he fell over, and didn't think about anything.

Ban Xia only felt that she had been squinting for a long time before she could hear the rustling sound from the next door, she knew that it was her parents getting up, and it should be midnight now.

After a while, what was waiting was not the crowing of chickens, but the howling of pigs.

She thought, Butcher Zhang had already come to the door, and it really took some work to kill the two pigs. They boiled water to remove the hair and opened their stomachs. They didn't know how to clean up the pigs before they were put into the water, but after eating them a few times, they knew they were all good. .

Most of Pinellia’s cooking is stewed meat, and Su Youli quickly mastered the trick. Wash it and rub it with coarse salt. After cooking it one by one, it will be another delicious dish. It must have a different taste from meat. The family loves it. like to eat.

The sky is bright, and the blue and white sky light seeps in through the window lattice paper, and the outside is already very lively.

Holding two bowls of things, Mrs. Li opened the door with a squeak and came in to have a look.

Ban Xia shook her head and sat up, "Mother—"

Seeing this, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, "I just thought that it would be inconvenient for this person to come and go in a while, and I wanted to wake you up. If you get tired later, I'll go to my mother's side to sleep for a while. The meal is set, there are many people who will be able to work, you can eat some with Gu Ya'er."

Ban Xia agreed immediately, "Mother, don't worry, even without me, Gu Ya'er would still be hungry?"

The small mouth is as sweet as honey, and this mouthful is missing.

Mrs. Li put down the bowl and explained a few words before going out to work again.

Ban Xia turned her head to look at Gu Ya'er, saw her twitching her nose, and opened her hazy eyes, "Why did I dream of eating pig brains?"

Ban Xia's hand holding the bowl trembled. What Li Shi brought in was a steamed pig's brain and a pig's blood, both of which seemed easy to digest. Seeing Gu Ya'er like this, he said angrily , "Get up, wash your face and come eat."

When Gu Ya'er heard it was true, her eyes sparkled, her eyelashes fluttered, she didn't even get up, she made a small body move, Gu Lu rolled out of the bed, and walked out of the room with her short legs.

Seeing the dexterity of this little fat man, Ban Xia couldn't help but laugh.

After eating these two small bowls, Gu Ya'er was still a little bit unsatisfied, so Gu Ya'er just looked at Pinellia longingly.

Ban Xia couldn't stand her gaze, "Why did I eat so much in the morning, I'll go outside later to see if there is something delicious."

When I opened the door, the sky was already bright, and people walking around were windy in their footsteps, walking around without touching their feet, because they all knew what they were doing, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry.

In this big shed, it was steaming, chopping pork, frying taro, all kinds of sounds intertwined together, and people's happy and busy voices, it was lively and warm.

All kinds of aromas are mixed together, filling people's nostrils.

On one side of the shed, two large pots were steaming, and on the side shelf were several dustpans, and on top of the dustpans were divided rice noodles, placed in bowls.

Someone came, washed his hands, took a bowl of rice noodles, poured it into the strainer, scalded it in boiling water, and poured it into the sea bowl. There were two huge wooden barrels at the other end, filled with fragrance.

This...isn't it a buffet!This time, she admired her father so much.

He is not as eloquent as the uncle, nor is he able to burn good things like the second uncle. He even has no temper, as friendly as an old elm tree, but in these inconspicuous places, he can think It must be properly posted, and he can build stoves, pick up leaks, and weave baskets...

Nothing is too brilliant, but life is down-to-earth.

"Ban Xia, which soup do you eat?" A woman couldn't help asking when she saw Ban Xia holding a bowl.

Ban Xia was stunned, and then saw that a pot of soup was very clear, there were only big bones in it, and what floated on it were pig red, pig intestines, and smashed ginger, which looked very delicious. A pot of soup is red with fried tofu floating on it, which looks like the soup base of snail noodles.

The woman scooped up half a bowl by herself, and said with a smile, "I ate a bowl just now, thinking that this snail powder costs five cents a bowl, so I ate another one. It's also your kindness. Help, I can have a meal first!"

The rice noodles are not worth any money. Since they are helping out, it is natural to have enough energy to work after filling their stomachs.

Ban Xia took it, thinking that Gu Ya'er couldn't eat spicy food, so she scooped up the soup on the side of the broth. On the side of the stove, there were fried peanuts with capers, and she put in some chopped green onions, capers and capers, and served them Follow the past.

Going back to the house, there is still Gu Ya'er's shadow.

Ban Xia smiled helplessly, and finished the food by herself.

Only then did I realize that I didn't arrange my own work.

After eating this meal, she took another look at Wumei and Mint.

At noon, there is a strong aroma of braised pork. Of course, I can use my own fermented bean curd. There are also several baskets of bean sprouts. Naturally, there are plenty of other oily tofu. The meat dishes with sufficient portions are braised pork and whole chicken. .

Mrs. Su Qian also wore new clothes, and was sitting upright under the eaves of the main room, without any expression on her face.

Relatives gradually came to the door, and some people rushed to say hello without mentioning it.

The autumn is crisp, the family is idle, and people visiting relatives are very calm.

At noon, the people guarding everywhere still couldn't get together to eat normally.

Mrs. Li and the others were in charge of cleaning up the dishes, so there was nothing else to do at this time, but they cooked simple meals on the stove and put them there for them to use.

Anyone who has free time will come over to have a bite. I don’t know if the rice noodles are addicted to eating, or I think it’s faster to eat that. Mrs. Li is embarrassed to let others eat rice noodles, but others don’t seem to appreciate it. In the end, there is no one who likes the food. However, most of the people still ate rice noodles. She smiled while making soup, "Look, others don't like my skills!"

In this way, in the afternoon, the young man arranged the tables, chairs and benches, and the wine was served on the table, and the table began.

Seeing that no one came to invite him, Su Qian was a little angry, turned his head, and locked himself in the room.

In the end, it was Qiu's persuasion.

Naturally, no one paid attention to this.

Most of the relatives arrived at noon, and when they arrived, they looked around and chatted with those who were rare on weekdays. After all, this Wu Mei was blessed.

Looking at Mrs. Sun's belly, she said that this time, she would definitely win a man in one fell swoop.

Sitting on the table at this time, this fragrance!

Su Youcai brought the boys to serve the dishes, "Rang Rang, the taro meat is here—"

The people at the banquet laughed and scolded, "Fourth brother, you are already a father, and you are still a young man!"

He also added a few words just for fun, and he was even more proud to see that the guests were satisfied with the things at the table.

On a table, there are eight bowls and eight dishes, which are full.

The portions of the dishes are also sufficient, not only the pork but also the whole chicken, the vegetarian dishes are bean sprouts, vegetables, and cold dishes, and there is another dish that cannot be eaten in other places, stir-fried escargot!

Spicy and delicious, I finally used my hands. Seeing this, Mint is very satisfied.

Su Youcai was busy up and down, feeling that he had earned enough face, and his bones were lighter.

Wumei, who was about to get married, was led by Su Youyi and Sun Shi, and went out table by table to meet relatives again.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that Su Youyi, who was wearing new clothes, turned out to be such a handsome person, and it was no wonder that he could give birth to such a handsome daughter, and they all said auspicious words.

All the way down, there is nothing wrong with it.

After the banquet is over, some relatives will settle down in the village and see off their relatives tomorrow, while some close to the village will return home.

Li Shi led the people to quickly remove the bowls and chopsticks and put them in the basket.

Qiu Shi took the people to wash the dishes, and when all these things were cleared up, they all sat on the second seat.

Those who burn firecrackers will not come until tomorrow's day.

These two seats are more relaxed.

The men's tables have already started to punch, and the women can also talk about the short and long.

With this commotion, the moon climbed up the treetops, still bustling with activity.

The next day, Wu Mei hid in her room and couldn't come out. Quanfu, whom she had invited a long time ago, combed her hair there, muttering, "One comb to the end, two combs with white hair equal to eyebrows, and three combs full of children and grandchildren..."

Accompanied by this melodious voice, Wu Mei's eyeballs rolled down her fair and tender cheeks.

Mint looked very uncomfortable, "Sister, I will stay in the house from now on, I really miss you!"

Mrs. Sun's eye sockets were naturally wet after being made such a fuss.

"Girl, it's okay, don't cry, it's time to put on makeup, it will be late."

Wumei cried and cried, then laughed, and instead comforted Mrs. Sun, she had a strange feeling rising in her heart, as if after this day, she would no longer be a child, and having parents and younger sisters is not good at all Let them worry.

Remembering what Li Shi said again, he felt at ease for no reason.

The people outside were also divided into two groups. Those who saw off their relatives and those who carried the dowry to Wu's house all stayed at the man's house for dinner, and they also had to greet relatives at home, which was considered complete.

Pinellia is in the team of seeing off relatives.

With the sound of suona, Wu Liangping came to pick up the bride on a tall horse with a happy face.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran over to have a look. They were very envious to hear Yuanfeng and his wife's polite words, "Look, people study differently."

"The son-in-law of the second son's family is not bad either. He is in business, and he knows all about it!"

Blocking the door was nothing more than meaning, and quickly let Wu Liangping pass.

Naturally, many red envelopes were scattered.

There was a lot of excitement, and his face was even redder.

At this lively juncture, Wu Mei sat in the room, tears streaming out again.

The people watching the bustle outside were also very happy when they saw this scene.

Suddenly, I don't know who was stepped on, turned my head to look, and yelled, "Why is Hanako coming in at this time—"

When a banquet is held, it is normal for beggars to come to beg for food, but they never attend the banquet, and the host will bring out the food.

I've never seen anyone hit it like this.

But that "Hanako" shook her head and waved her hands, "Neither-"

Yuan Guang watched from the side, and found this figure very familiar.

He called out in surprise, "Uncle Wu!"
