For a few days, I had to buy fresh ingredients every day. Brother Monkey said: "There is no need to buy any more pork, beef, and mutton. I will process some of it here every day and use it."

The Wusheng Banquet is more important than the wedding banquet. At the wedding banquet, the guests must be given a gift in return, which is usually snacks and candies. Xiaojiu thought, should we also give a gift in return for our flowing banquet?

This thing is easy to handle, and there is no need to buy anything. Qixun said: "Tonight, my third sister and my second brother, I and I will make snacks and candies for three consecutive nights. We can make eight kinds of snacks and save them in a box. They are better than those bought outside."

Brother Monkey said: "Okay, let's start after dinner."

Qi Xun thought for a while and ordered eight gifts, four candies and four snacks, but it was troublesome to pack them into boxes and the quantities needed were large, so they didn't have them at the moment.

Brother Monkey said: "Put the box in the box and leave it to me."

It's not like refining weapons, just packing them into boxes. As long as there is wood, he plucks a few hairs and blows on them, and it's human hands.

Qixun thought it would be quite painful to pull out the hair: "Use a talisman, it will be fine if you deal with the wood."

Brother Monkey thinks this is okay. Cut the wood into sections and do some rough machining, and then you can make these talismans. He does the fine things himself.

But the wooden box is not beautiful if it is bare, so just outline a few flowers on it to create a festive look.

It was settled that the matter of painting on the wooden box would be left to the eldest cousin, Lingyu and Xiaojiu. They are all scholars and are good at this.

As for Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, these two boys haven't slept for two days and one night, and they can't stay up any longer.

After dinner, the brothers and sisters took Lingzhou and Xiaojiu back home. There was no idle time at the old house. The women who helped in the village were all preparing the ingredients for the running water banquet the next day.

Under the pergola of Lingxiao Flower, there were all the children playing there, and the whole village was filled with lively laughter.

Among the younger ones, the little white tiger stayed at the old house to play with Big Goudan'er because of Big Goudan'er's kind invitation, while the other few came back.

This time, Babai was assigned a job to help Lingzhou, Lingyu, and Xiaojiu paint.

Because they had said hello in advance, when they went home, a lot of dried wood happened to be delivered from the workshop, and it was Brother Ling Feng who delivered it himself. The brothers and sisters gossiped again. Ling Feng wanted to stay and help, but the brothers and sisters declined. They sent Ling Feng away, and they went to Brother Monkey's former workshop and started working.

Because I was busy returning the gift, I didn't go to the secret place in the valley that night. Otherwise, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba might not be able to sleep peacefully.

Among the four candies, Qixun settled on toffee, orange candies, peanut brittle candies and nougat. Except for toffee, the others were not troublesome to make.

Desserts include one pound each of macarons, gorgon cakes, cakes and milk puff pastry.

There were helpers on both occasions, so the work went quickly. After working all night, I made enough for four or five days. The brothers and sisters took a seat to recover for a while, and then went to the old house in high spirits.

We still have to entertain guests today, especially Brother Monkey, the real master, who cannot be absent.

The old house is already busy.

Even the clan heads of the two surnames and several clan elders have also arrived and are sitting in the main hall talking.

The brothers and sisters hurried over to see the ceremony.

Brother Hou followed Lingzhou and Fusu there to talk to the elders. Qixun, Lingsu, and Lingyu naturally wanted to help in the kitchen. They didn't do things themselves and just asked others to do the work. As a result, they were beaten by the aunts and uncles. Kicked out.

"We have so many people, why do we need you little girls to do these rough jobs? Look at each one looking more delicate than the other, just like the fairy girls in the painting. These jobs are not done by you, and with the little ones. Sisters, let’s play.”

The little sisters who were barely acquaintances with each other in the past are all married, but now the unmarried girls in their teens are not familiar with them either.

Nayan's Lingsu is a little bald, and Zhenlingyu is a little bald. He has lived a new life. Except when he is in a daze, Qixun, who has become a bit social at other times, is actually a little bald.

The three sisters who have lived two lifetimes don't quite understand the topic that teenage girls like.

However, there were really not many little girls free to play at the moment. The three sisters hurriedly ran to find their eldest uncle and third aunt, took out the gift boxes they had made at night, and found a place to pile them up. After the meal, Yeah, just over there at the pergola, take one person, give one and that's it.

Looking at the returned gift box, Mrs. Guo was very surprised: "Don't tell me, I really forgot about this before. How did you get such an exquisite gift box in just one night?"

The gift box is a round box with a diameter of about 40 centimeters and a height of about 10 centimeters. It is divided into eight compartments. Each compartment contains the same four snacks and four candies. It looks exquisite and beautiful.

Qixun then twisted a pink macaron biscuit made into a plum blossom shape and stuffed one piece for each of her eldest aunt and third aunt: "We made them all by ourselves, aunt and third aunt, how do you like it? We can I’ve been busy all night. It’s estimated to be enough for three to five days. I’ll make more in two days.”

The two sisters tasted everything and couldn't help but nod: "It's not worse than the ones in your fifth aunt's snack shop, even better. Not to mention the appearance of these snacks and candies, it's just the taste, it's great to give them away." The best gift.”

In fact, banquets in the countryside, except for wedding banquets, do not require return gifts. That is to say, the wealthy families in the city are more particular, but they do not give such good gifts.

But their family can afford this money now.

The aunt asked: "How much did it cost? I'll make up for it later."

Since it is said that this expense will come from the public fund, there is no reason to let the children take the money themselves. They don't lack this little money, it's something they don't lack.

Qixun smiled and said: "I didn't spend any money, except to get some wood from the guild uncle's house. But Brother Lingfeng said, this is a gift from the guild uncle. It doesn't cost any money. The rest of the materials are all what we usually keep." .”

Uncle Huitang's family has always been very close to my own family, so when I gave Uncle Huitang a souvenir yesterday, the gift I gave him was relatively heavy. As for Uncle Huitang's business, his family also plays a part. Since they said they would not charge for the wood, the brothers and sisters did not insist on it. At worst, they would send more game and nourishing medicinal materials to Uncle Huitang's family later. That’s it.

The exchange of favors is nothing more than this.

After hearing this, the auntie said nothing more.

Seeing that the three of them had put away their things and stayed in the house, the eldest uncle and the third aunt both laughed: "I'm afraid you are not familiar with those little ladies in the village? But your fourth and fifth aunts should be back soon. The little girl from my aunt's family is always smart, and she is getting along well with the other little girls in the village, ranging from 18 to 35 years old. Let her take you to play later."

Three sisters working together, asking their seven or eight-year-old sister to play with them, is that right?

Lingyu pursed her lips and smiled: "I just found out that we actually have a sister. From now on, the jewelry we keep will finally have someone to give it to."

Lingyu suddenly felt that she had a place to be useful. Except for her second brother, her eldest brother and two sisters didn't like to dress up, so every time she came up with beautiful clothes and jewelry styles, she couldn't find anything in common. people to share the joy.

My sister is always different from others. She is more enthusiastic when she dresses up.

"I don't know when the fourth and fifth aunts will arrive."

Yesterday, I asked someone from the village to go to the county town with a message. It must be soon. The aunt said: "If I miss your fourth and fifth aunts, I will go to the village to see you."

When the three sisters heard this, they hurriedly said: "Let's go now."

When they arrived at the village, they didn't wait for a long time before seeing several carriages approaching.
