Chapter 335 Flowers are beautiful and the moon is full (2)

The fourth love object is the earrings. The Japanese girl sang: "Why is it so trivial? Two pearls in the ears. ([] )" and then took the earrings from the plate and put them on the bride. In the Song Dynasty, small and simple earrings were called '

Lilac' and the complicated and gorgeous earrings are called 'luosuo'. Chen Ke prepared the former for his younger sister and the latter for Yue'e.

The fifth love object is a sachet. The Japanese girls sang: "Why do you knock? The sachet is tied behind the elbow." They tied it for the two brides.

The sixth love object is the jade pendant, and the Japanese girls sing: "How to express gratitude? Beautiful jade is embellished with Luo Ying."

The seventh love object is the concentric knot. The Japanese girls sang: "Why do we tie the concentric knot? The plain threads are connected with double needles." The concentric knots popular in China in later generations are all single-color. However, the concentric knots in Japan and Korea still look like

Like the Song Dynasty, two-color weaving was used, which means two people become one.

The eighth love object is a gold hairpin. The Japanese girl sang: "Why do we marry each other? Gold thin paintings scratch the head." She inserted hairpins for the two brides.

The ninth love object is a hairpin, and the Japanese girl sings: "How to comfort the separation? A tortoise shell hairpin behind the ear."

The last piece was a skirt. The Japanese girl sang: "Why should I answer Huanxin? Three simple skirts." Of course, this one would not be worn on the spot.

This is the reason why there were so many leftover men and women in the Song Dynasty. Just gathering these 'ten love objects' was enough to make a small family sell everything. Once the woman does not lower her requirements, the marriage can only be postponed indefinitely...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After sending out the ten tokens of love and tying the bride firmly, Chen Ke went out to toast the guests. The female guests had a banquet in the inner courtyard, needless to say.

The wedding banquet was hosted by Yipinlou. In order to host this grand banquet, Cai Chuanfu directly closed down his business for three days, and the entire store staff went all out to prepare. Not only did he want to repay the kindness of the master, he was also ambitious...to give the opportunity to cook for the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he can innovate and catch the appetites of these top figures in the Song Dynasty, he will be one step closer to his life goal.

Yipinlou also received the full cooperation of Sihai Company. Li Fan's vision was not about wealth and ability. He knew that this was an excellent opportunity to make a name for Sihai Company. Therefore, he spared no expense and brought three ships of Bian for the wedding banquet.

Ingredients you can’t find in Beijing.

The first is seafood. At the high-end banquets in Bianjing City, river seafood is mainly used. Because this is inland, transportation is inconvenient. Most of the seafood people eat are pickled products that have lost their essence, and the taste is naturally not good. But all over the world

After purchasing high-quality fish, shrimps, crabs and shellfish from the coast, the company adopts the "frozen transportation method". It is first sent to an ice cellar for complete freezing, and then packed into layers of insulated boxes.

Then he ordered the business stores along the way to prepare ice cubes so that the incubator would always be in a cold state and transport it to the capital as quickly as possible.

When they are delivered to Yipinlou, the seafood is still frozen. Naturally it remains fresh. It only needs simple cooking, and its natural umami flavor overwhelms all inland dishes.

Next is vegetables. This season, there are very few vegetable varieties in the north. But there are still all kinds of vegetables in the south. In addition to those vegetables native to China, Sihai Company also introduced agaric from India. Lettuce and cabbage were introduced from Arabia. Just now

They were successfully cultivated in Guangxi and shipped here this time.

There are also tropical fruits. Bananas, pineapples, mangoes, durians, mangosteens, dragon fruit, rambutan, pineapples... Relying on the convenient sea transportation, it was delivered to Bianjing in ten days. Although half of it was already rotten, it was because

The transportation volume was too large, and the remaining half was enough to supply the banquet. Moreover, Chen Ke also gave Chuanfu an idea to squeeze the fruits that were no longer bright in appearance into juice, which would definitely be very popular.

With such top-notch ingredients, Chuanfu naturally tried his best to bring out all the cooking methods of Cantonese, Fujian, Japanese and even watercress that he learned from Chen Ke but had never put into practice...

...For this reason, he specially took the chef to Guangxi for several months to practice and strive for excellence.

The time, place and people were favorable, and the "first-class Jiangshan banquet" recognized by Bianjing City and even later generations was born.

This banquet started at noon and lasted until dark. A total of ninety-nine dishes were served before and after. Countless famous Chinese dishes appeared from this banquet. Later gourmets even believed that this was a banquet that changed the eating habits of the Chinese people.

. Some nutritionists swear that because of the imitation of these dishes across the country, the dietary structure of the Song people has been greatly improved. The intake of more meat, dairy products and seafood has enabled the Song people to enjoy a healthy diet in the past fifty years.

After that, his height and weight returned to the level of the Tang Dynasty.

This is purely flattery for the sake of flattery, which directly obliterates the high cost paid by the Song Dynasty court to improve the physical fitness of the Chinese people...

Of course, these are all things for later. The guests attending this wedding banquet have not yet realized the noble meaning of this meal. They only have one feeling, and that is enjoyment, extreme enjoyment, fairy-like enjoyment! Looking at the endless flow of new dishes

When served, one after another was so beautiful that it was dizzying for the eyes. These dignitaries who never tire of fine food and fine cooking originally thought they would never find that kind of gluttonous feeling again, but they unexpectedly encountered it at this wedding banquet.

The scholar-bureaucrats who participated in this wedding banquet, even decades later, still recall this banquet with salivation and eyes brightening. Therefore, people in later generations can find countless articles about it from their notes, poems, and articles.

The description of 'a banquet of the highest quality' would exaggerate it to no limit...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although each dish is exquisite but sparse, even the big eater that day was unable to do anything after eating thirty dishes. But it doesn't matter, the Chen family has already said hello and welcomes their family members to come and taste it.

, even the officials couldn't help but call Princess Qingshou to have a taste, let alone other guests.

It wasn't until mid-day that the banquet ended, and the guests left with contented pats on their bellies. This wonderful feeling will be something they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Originally, there was a bridal chamber disturbance. The bridal chamber disturbances in the Song Dynasty were very unruly and more violent than those in later generations. It was definitely a nightmare for the bride and groom. But everyone was so full that they didn’t want to move, so he was allowed to escape.

Already.

After sending away the last group of guests, Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he was made of steel, he couldn't bear such trouble. He was tired and drunk, and just wanted to close his eyes and sleep, but Cao and Chen Xiliang had already fallen asleep.

Du Qingshuang supported him and walked across the courtyard to his home.

Walking on the winding path with sparse bamboo shadows, Chen Ke glanced at the full moon in the sky and suddenly stopped.

"Does the officer want to vomit?" Du Qingshuang asked with concern: "If you want to vomit, just vomit."

Chen Ke ignored her and reached out to touch around in his arms... Of course it was in his own arms. It took him a long time to touch something. Then he picked up Du Qingshuang's cold little hand, put it on her gently, and kissed her forehead.

, said: "Just three."

Du Qingshuang was stunned. Big drops of tears flowed down her cheeks and landed on the diamond ring, shining brightly.

It wasn't until she heard the sound of vomiting that she realized and hurried to take care of Chen Ke.

After vomiting, Chen Ke felt a little better, but he was a little flustered. He leaned on Du Qingshuang and walked into the hanging flower door with empty steps.

Seeing the red candles shining brightly in the main room, it was a sign of double happiness. Du Qingshuang quickly took off the ring on her hand, but Chen Ke held her down and said, "Wear it."

"Master, stop being ridiculous," Du Qingshuang whispered: "I am very happy that you have me in your heart. But after that, how will I behave in the future?"

"Nonsense," Chen Ke spat, "You underestimate the two ladies too much."

The Japanese girls came up and took Chen Ke over. Du Qingshuang took advantage of Chen Ke's inattention and took off the ring.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the new house, the female guest had to leave a little earlier, so the two brides had been alone for a while.

They looked at each other, this was not the first time they had met. In Meizhou City, Shayi Lane, Liu Yue'e, an uninvited guest, was persuaded by Su Xiaomei to stay, and they got along day and night for a while. As a result, the two people who were supposed to be love rivals actually became speechless.

A good friend who doesn’t talk about it.

Without this experience, it would be difficult for the two of them to reach this point.

It's just that they haven't seen each other for three years, and now they meet again in this capacity. Both of them have a hundred kinds of feelings in their hearts, and they don't know where to start.

Liu Yue'e was the straight-tempered one, so she spoke first: "Sister..."

"Pfft..." The younger sister covered her mouth and smiled and said: "We celebrated the New Year three years ago, and you are five months older than me." Then she took Liu Yue'e's hand and said: "Sister Yue'e, those false documents and formalities

It’s so boring. Let’s be happy for the rest of our lives, so let’s do whatever feels comfortable.”

This girl Liu Yue'e was really no match for Su Xiaomei. After chatting for a while, the two of them lost their temper and became even more passionate than three years ago.

As we were chatting in the alley, the door opened and the groom was helped back drunkenly.

Quickly get out of the way and let them put Chen Ke on the bed. As soon as Chen Ke's head touched the pillow, he snored. The two wanted to take off Chen Ke's boots, but Arou stopped him and said respectfully: "How can you work?"

Madam, these tasks should be done by the maids." Neither of them was the type to serve others, and their ability to flatter horses was not as good as that of the Japanese girls, so they had to stand aside and talk to Du Qingshuang.

"You must be Sister Qingshuang." Under the guidance of 'Su Xiaomei's spirit', Liu Yue'e no longer pays attention to rules.

"Madam, I have killed my concubine." Du Qingshuang immediately said awkwardly: "Let's call this concubine 'Qingshuang'."

"Sister Qingshuang, you don't have to worry." Su Xiaomei smiled and said: "Sister Yue'e and I are not the kind of people who value status."

"What we value is feelings and principles," Liu Yue'e nodded and said, "The elder is the elder sister, this is the principle." Then she looked at Chen Ke and said, "By the way, why is he so drunk?"

"I was fucked badly today, and I just vomited outside." Du Qingshuang whispered: "I'm afraid I won't wake up tonight..."

"I've never seen him so drunk before." Liu Yue'e shook her head and immediately said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if this guy is drunk, we three sisters can talk all night long."

I really can’t write the third update, otherwise it will be useless tomorrow. I’m sorry, I’ll get up early and write it.
