Chapter 352 Prepare the monthly ticket for the banquet)(1/2)
After repairing the carriage, it's the third day, and there will be a banquet tomorrow.
Fang Zhiwen, Fang Zhiwu and Fang Zhigang drove two cars to the county, accompanied by Liu Dazhuang and Liu Erzhuang, who went to the county to buy ingredients for tomorrow.
The rest of the people are setting up cooking stoves and cleaning up the yard at home, and they will have a banquet in their yard tomorrow.
Yesterday while they were repairing the carriage, Jiayin and the three girls went to the county cloth village together and bought a ready-made wedding dress for Liu Yu'er.
In fact, the wedding dresses here are all started after the engagement. It takes a year or two to complete the wedding dresses and then wear them when they get married.
But after getting engaged, Liu Yu'er went on a trip with them and had no time to sew a wedding dress.
Another thing is that they are going back to Fangjia Village for a wedding, and the wedding dresses there are different from the wedding dresses here, so they plan to buy ready-made ones.
The wedding dress here is not red, but black with colorful embroidery.
The headdress used when getting married here is also made of black cloth with colorful embroidery, and the hair is wrapped up into a round circle. At first, Jiayin and the others looked weird, but after a closer look, it was very delicate and they thought it looked pretty good.
Jiayin and Yang Huiyun couldn't help but buy an embroidered dress each for unmarried women.
It is usually worn when attending festivals or on relatively grand occasions. It is somewhat similar to a wedding dress, except that the pattern is not as festive and complicated.
They were planning to wear them for the banquet tomorrow. From yesterday to today, the three of them were changing their clothes at home.
That's right, it's just changing the clothes. After all, they are bought ready-made, so the size is definitely not quite right.
Although I have tried my best to buy something that fits better, there are still some places that need to be modified.
Fortunately for Liu Yuer, she is a local girl after all. These clothes are sewn according to the local figures, so they are easier to buy.
Jiayin and Yang Huiyun, one is shorter and the other is thinner.
Yang Huiyun is relatively thin and looks empty in the clothes she bought.
Although Jiayin is taller among her peers, she is still young after all, and all the clothes she can buy are adult women's clothes, so the clothes of both of them need to be modified.
Fortunately, they are both quite ingenious. Liu Yuer told them how to change it, and the two of them got started quickly.
In the yard, taking advantage of the good light, I finally changed my clothes yesterday afternoon and this morning.
After the changes were completed, the three people began to help clean up the house. Fang Zhiyuan and the others took care of the yard, so the house was handed over to them.
Tomorrow, relatives of Aunt Liu's mother's family will come over. Although they may stay at the second uncle's house for a longer time, they will still come and sit in this room during the banquet to clean up every corner.
We haven’t invited many families tomorrow, but there are quite a lot of people from each family. According to a rough calculation, there will be dozens of people, and at least five tables will be needed.
Tomorrow morning I will go to borrow tables from the families who are coming to have a banquet. It is not easy to go to those who have not invited me. They also need to use it for meals. Only the tables from the families who are coming to have a banquet are free.
Of course, just to say something, most of the time when a family comes over, the tables, chairs and benches are just brought over.
This is a common way of entertaining guests in the village. Most people bring their own tables, chairs, benches, and bowls and plates to eat and drink, and then take them back after they finish eating.
After all, no one has a few tables and a bunch of dishes.
There were only three rooms in total, three people each had one room, and they were packed up in a short time.
Other places are usually tidied up and are not dirty, just sweeping the corners will be enough.
After cleaning up the house, the three of them had nothing to do for a while, so they called Fang Zhiyuan and the other three who had also finished cleaning up the yard outside to discuss whether they should get some fruit snacks or something from the storage bag.
Fang Zhiqiang thought for a while, "How about we get some of the fruits we picked in the Four Seasons Valley? We can get some that are not very rare. You can usually buy them in the county during the season. It's just that it's harder to buy them this season.
Let’s just say we bought it in the city.”
It certainly can't be said that it was brought back from Hainan County. After all, it was more than a month's journey on the road, so it couldn't be so fresh.
Liu Yu'er said: "I won't take out the snacks. We didn't buy much and saved them for later on the road. If we take them out, there won't be enough snacks. If there are too many, there's no need."
Afterwards, they closed the door, took out all the fruits picked from the Four Seasons Valley in the house, and then picked them.
Take out some of the better-preserved ones, so that you can say that the fruit shop is well-preserved.
If it looks like it is not very easy to store and easy to get bumped, I won’t take it out.
As for other things, they discussed it again and took out a 100-jin bag of rice.
Although you can buy good rice in the county here, Liu Yuer estimates that Liu Dazhuang will not let Fang Zhiwu and the others buy it because the price of good rice is too expensive.
Most of the banquets here use brown rice, so they probably buy brown rice back.
They all thought that this was probably the only time they were invited here, and they didn’t know if they would have the chance to come back again in the future. There were not many people, so it wouldn’t matter if they had a better meal.
The brown rice you bought can be kept by Liu Erzhuang's family. Their three and a half sons are just about ready to eat, and they can eat it for a while longer.
As for the other ingredients, Jiayin sent her spiritual sense to Fang Zhiwu and the others who were shopping in the county town. Seeing that they had already bought half a fan of pork, which only weighed a few dozen kilograms, they took out a few more pheasants and hares.
A total of five pheasants and five hares were brought out. When the time comes, there will be five tables, one pheasant and one hare on each table, plus pork dishes and a few green vegetables, which should be enough.
After getting these things ready, put them back into the storage bag first, and prepare to wait for Fang Zhiwu and the others to come back, then take the things out and mix them with the purchased things.
Fang Zhiwu and the others went out in the morning and didn't come back until the afternoon. They bought two full carts of things and everyone followed the cart back.
Although it can be put into a storage bag, it is not a rush, and Liu Dazhuang and Liu Erzhuang are afraid that they will be surprised, although they also know about the Dragon God.
Since they drove two cars, they could accommodate them, and they always had to make a show of unloading the cars when they came back. After all, they had already talked about inviting people in the village to a banquet, so it was hard to come back with an empty car.
If you meet someone from the same village on the road, you must have something. If they want to take a look, it's hard to tell if they see two empty cars.
Not to mention, when they came back, they actually met people from the same village. Although they were not close friends, they did not say it was impolite to open the car curtain and look inside.
But looking at the deep ruts on their wheels, you know that the car must be full of things. If the car is empty, the rut marks will be light and fluffy.
When I saw them all walking outside, I knew that the car must be full and there was no room for anyone.
Especially since Liu Dazhuang's house was right at the entrance of the village, those people who came back with them would definitely pass by Liu's house, so they took a look at the excitement at the door.
When they heard the sound, all the Fang brothers ran out, and the three boys from Liu Erzhuang's family also came over to help unload the truck.
As they watched sacks and baskets being carried into the yard, the people surrounding them were extremely envious and were talking among themselves.
"Yu'er from Liu Dazhuang's family has really found a good family. Look at this cart of things, it will cost a lot of money, right?" Villager A said.
"Really, did you see that there is still half a fan of pork! Pork is very valuable at this time, and most people will not buy it now." Villager B said.
"There is no way. Everyone raises pigs until they kill them during the Chinese New Year. Firstly, they eat them at home, and secondly, they are expensive to sell at that time. There are very few pigs left today, and they can only be bought at pork shops in the county.
The price of buying half a pig here is different, much more expensive than raising one at home." Villager C said with an envious look.
"The current price of pork is fifteen cents per catty. This half fan of pork must be several dozen catties larger. It is estimated to cost more than one tael of silver." Villager B said.
"Did you see that there are actually two sacks of rice? They should be filled with rice, right? I bought two hundred catties in one purchase. I don't know how many people will be invited. If you buy so much, you will definitely not be able to use it all. You can't keep the rest for yourself.
Eat." The villager said sourly.
"I think we should invite all the fellow villagers who have been in our village for so many years. I don't know if I can come back when I get married far away. In the future, we can still take care of Liu Erzhuang's family." Villager Ding said this with a loud voice.
Xiao, I guess I told Liu Dazhuang and others in the yard on purpose.
Villager B next to him sneered: "What are you thinking about? You can't invite the whole village? Then we can't open a running banquet? Besides, they may not come back in the future, so what are you doing? How can you take care of my two sons? You
It would be nice not to take advantage of others."
Villager Ding immediately became unhappy, "How can you talk? When did I take advantage of others?"
"If you don't take advantage of others, who pulled the vegetables from my vegetable patch the day before yesterday?" Villager B said sarcastically.
"Listen to what you mean, I pulled that dish out! Did you see me pull it out? You can't just make false accusations..." Villager Ding looked like a rogue.
"I lost vegetables in my vegetable field. What do you think you eat right away in the evening? You don't grow that vegetable in your vegetable field. Don't tell me that you went to the county town to buy it." Villager B looked at it sideways.
she said.
"Your family is the only one who has planted the cabbage. You don't want others to plant it. My family doesn't have it. But my second brother's family has planted it. I can't go to my second brother's house to pull out a few plants?" The villager looked dissatisfied.
Villager B sneered and said, "Look, you've revealed your secret! Did I say what vegetable and you knew it was wok? If you hadn't stolen it, how would you have known what vegetable I was talking about?"
"..."
Jiayin was amused when she heard the noise outside, and she didn't know how they were so noisy that they went to catch the thief.
That guy is quite interesting, he also knows how to talk people into words, and he is a talent if he can be recognized by others.
It was noisy outside, but the Fang brothers and Liu Dazhuang didn't care. Anyway, they wanted to treat whatever they wanted, and those with whom they were not well-connected would not be treated well, and they might even be scolded as stupid.
The people outside watched for a while and then left when they found it boring. After all, seeing that they couldn't eat was just annoying themselves, so they might as well go home and do housework and work in the fields.
The crowd slowly dispersed, and the Fang brothers drove the unloaded donkey cart and horse-drawn carriage into the yard.
There was a group of people surrounding the door before, and they couldn't just drive the car in. They didn't want to go into the yard to take a look, so they just unloaded at the door and just looked at it. Anyway, there was nothing that people couldn't see.
.
Jiayin and the others walked up to Fang Zhiwen and others and told them their idea of taking out things from the storage bag.
Fang Zhiwen and the others thought for a while after hearing this, and then Fang Zhiwen said: "Forget about the fruit, just bring some back to Aunt Liu's family when they leave. These can be considered serious relatives of the younger siblings. The other village chiefs and the others ate them.
Maybe some words will spread."
Especially the village chief's family, Liu Dazhuang said, the relationship is not very good and there is no need.
This was really the case, so I listened to Fang Zhiwen and only took out the pheasants, rabbits and rice.
It's easy to explain. They just need to take a taxi before they come. This thing is everywhere, and you can basically find it in the mountains.
And they did go into the mountains several times to hunt on the way here. These were really all hunted on the road, but they just stayed there for a little longer.
To be continued...
