Accompanied by the festive wedding joy of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, the wedding banquet host was sweating profusely, turned his head and shouted, and those of us who served the dishes hurriedly carried the trays over to serve the dishes.
Luoyang Water Banquet is famous for the speed of cooking and the quality of the dishes. Whether it is the chef or the neighbors, relatives and friends who come to eat at the banquet, the word "fast" is highlighted.
I walked over with the tray and just put the dishes on the table.
moment!
More than a dozen chopsticks appeared out of thin air, just like in a war, and a whole chicken was snatched away in less than ten seconds!
The same goes for serving soup. Everyone cooks the thicker one first and then the thinner one.
Some young people who came back from the city are concerned about their face and are unwilling to reach out to grab it. Sorry, they can only go hungry.
If you want to save face, you won't be full. Each dish here only comes on one plate, and you have to wait for the next one after you finish eating.
This kind of running water feast is a bit similar to the "three-course meal" in Hebei. After the fish is served, it is finished with a sweet and sour soup made with hawthorn and orange powder. Some families with children will carry a big bottle with them and fill it up.
A bottle of sweet and sour soup was taken away, and the chef asked me to help make the sweet and sour soup.
I was helping to give the child sweet and sour soup when suddenly, there was a burst of loud noises at the door of Li's house.
A total of six men came in, all in their twenties. I'm not from here, so I didn't know who they were.
What is strange is that this group of people used poles to carry a rectangular object. The object was wrapped in red cloth, so it was difficult to see what it was.
"Haha! Everyone is eating! How about the feast?" The man who was the leader among the six people laughed.
"It's delicious! It has chicken, duck, fish and everything! It's delicious!" someone responded loudly.
"As long as it tastes good, then everyone can eat and drink!"
This man is like a boss, greeting everyone with a smile.
The movement outside the hospital alarmed the people inside the house. Mr. Li Xueliang came out wearing new clothes, with a red flower on his right chest.
However, when he saw the six people who suddenly arrived, the smile that was originally on his face disappeared little by little.
"Haha! Mr. Li! Congratulations!"< br>
"Today is the wedding of Ling Sun, and my elder brother specially asked me to come over and give him a gift."
"Put it down." He directed the people who were raising the bar to slowly put it down.
"Landed to the ground with a thud!"
It sounds very deep, it must be stone.
Then the man who spoke immediately grabbed the red cloth, smiled, and pulled the cloth off directly.
They sent a rectangular stone strip, or stone tablet, with densely written small characters on it, which were carved with sharp knives.
"Full blessings and longevity are restored, determination and conduct are steadfast, inscriptions are recorded on monuments, and future generations will be glorious. In a small space, the yin and yang are separated, how sad it is."
"Li Gong Li Yuanbao of Luoyang, in such and such a year."
Anyone who is literate can tell at a glance that this monument is clearly an epitaph!
Give it to the dead for burial!
The gift recipient is none other than Mr. Li’s grandson Li Yuanbao!
Today is Li Yuanbao’s wedding day. I frowned and thought to myself, who the hell is so wicked? Isn’t this a curse for Mr. Li to lose his grandson in his later years, and a curse for the newly married bride to become a widow?
Looking over, I saw this man with his hands in his pockets and said with a smile: "Master Li, this is a wedding gift specially sent by my brothers. Are you satisfied with it?"
Li Yuanbao, who was dressed as a bridegroom, had an angry look on his face. His face was a little red because he had just drank a few glasses of wine, and he was about to rush over, but was blocked by the old man.
Mr. Li stepped forward, patted the leader on the shoulder, and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much. How could I not want such a good gift? You are all tired after carrying it all the way here. Why don't you have something to eat and drink?"
"No, as long as you like it, now that the gift has been delivered, let's go, brothers."
The man glanced sideways at the old man and turned around to leave.
I walked over and asked the leader, who are these people? What are their identities? Are you really not afraid of being beaten? It’s the day of your wedding.
Here comes the epitaph.
He frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Let's not get involved. I understand that this old friend of mine dares to curse his grandson in person. I'm afraid these few will not live long."
The people around who had not left after finishing their meal were talking in low voices.
Mr. Li turned a blind eye to all this and turned around and entered the house.
After the flowing water banquet was finished, it was time for those of us who were helping to eat from the big pot. I didn't eat because the boss asked me to go to the east room.
A table was specially set up in the east room, with seven people sitting at it.
After Mr. Li sat down, he said with a smile: "Old friends, we have known each other for decades. The chances of getting together in the future will be less and less. I am very happy that you can come from all over the world this time."
"Old Li, those young men who didn't understand the rules just now must be Song Laohei's people."
The old man nodded and said yes.
"Hey, today's young people are becoming more and more courageous. You can use our help to speak."
"No, my grandson is very happy today, let's talk about something happy."
"By the way, Lao Ma, I heard someone say that you took people on an activity in Shandong in the past two years and encountered the Changming Lantern?"
"Yes, it was a pit in the late Ming Dynasty. It was the tomb of a Persian missionary. There was a jar of oil connected to a lamp in the southwest corner of the tomb. It was still on when we entered."
Master Li shook his head and smacked his tongue after hearing this.
I couldn't help but be curious and interjected: "Does the ever-burning lantern really exist? I've only heard of it, but I haven't seen it yet."
At this time, he introduced his head and said: "Guys, this is a young apprentice I took in two years ago, Xiang Yunfeng."
"Yunfeng, please say hello."
"Hello, grandpas."
"Everyone just calls me Xiaoxiang."
The old man who said he had seen the ever-bright lantern took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Sir, is this the Little God's Eye Peak? I heard people say that the eyes of the Little God's Eye Peak can see things at night?"
My face looked a little unnatural.
Rumors are terrible , this is pure falsehood. I can’t see it. What I can see at night is an owl.
The main reason is that Tian Sanjiu is very famous in the industry. He spreads the word to others, and our circle is so big, so many people know about me.
In addition to clairvoyance and night vision, it is even said that the eyes of Shenyan Peak can observe the sky at night and deduce Feng Shui. People looking up at the stars in the northeast can see where there are large tombs in Hainan. This is the unique skill of Shenyan Peak, called " Thousand Miles Acupoint.”
The people sitting at this table are all old people. Apart from me, the youngest one is over sixty years old. These are some old leaders in the Northern Faction. Some of them used to be leaders but are basically no longer active now.
If you ask me to come to the table, I won't embarrass him.
A group of people were drinking and chatting, and they talked about tomb robbing, and I talked eloquently. After hearing this, these old men praised me repeatedly and said: "There are talented people in our country. Xian Sheng, you have accepted a good apprentice."
Hearing the praise from these old friends makes me feel light on my face.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness that had just happened.
In the evening, we have a wedding ceremony in the wedding room, which is very fun.
The games played include "feeding vegetables", "biting apples", "shock wave", "spring squat", "high-heeled wine glass", and "spring mud protects flowers."
Dou Sprouts and Brother Yu looked on and laughed.
The bride feeds the groom the dish. The dish is called "iron stick dish", which is iron stick yam with the skin removed and wild fungus stir-fried. It should have some meaning.
For spring squats, Yuanbao took off his pants, wore red underpants, and held the woman in his arms while doing squats.
Spring mud protects flowers, this game is really a bit dirty, you can make up your own mind, I will see if you guessed it right.
Anyway, it’s been a long time for the young couple. I wonder if Yuanbao will have enough strength at night.
It was after nine o'clock in the evening after the wedding ceremony. I thought that was the end of the day and that everything would be fine.
How to know.
The boss suddenly called me out and said, "Yunfeng, wash your face. Wait until eleven o'clock sharp and call Xiaoxuan."
