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 drinks 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 makes people feel strange is that...the 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!"
"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!"
The sound was very deep, it must be stone.
Then the man who spoke immediately grabbed the red cloth, laughed, 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, ambitions are steadfast, inscriptions are written on monuments, and future generations will be glorious. Yin and yang are separated in a small space, 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, 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 groom, 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? I sent you an epitaph on your wedding day.
