Chapter 201: Grand Wedding 1
On the twenty-eighth day of the sixth lunar month, Feng Qingxue was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window. She pushed open the door and saw that the sky in the east was already light.
The breeze in the morning was gentle, but it was still hot.
Looking back, she saw her sister still sleeping soundly on the bed. Feng Qingxue smiled softly, put away her joyful and expectant mood, and first opened the cupboard to check the melon seeds, sugar cubes, cooked peanuts and other things that had been prepared long ago.
There is only one wedding in a lifetime, so it cannot be done hastily.
Therefore, Feng Qingxue was particularly well prepared and privately asked Jiang He to send part of it to Lu Jiang.
She had asked her uncle and aunt about how to prepare a wedding banquet, and got an answer that was both expected and unexpected.
Because of the shortage of materials, it is not popular for many young men and women in the countryside to hold a banquet when they get married. Being able to give guests a bowl of sugar tea is the best treat. If they have a little capital, they will prepare a few dishes to entertain guests who bring their own dry food.
That's right, in addition to tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks, dry food is also brought by guests.
Everyone who attends a wedding banquet or visits someone else's home will consciously bring their own dry food without anyone reminding them.
As long as the family holding a wedding fry a few dishes and put them on the table, if they can gather eight dishes, and one of them has a little bit of meat, it will be considered a good banquet!
The dishes in Feng Qingxue's home are all gathered by relatives and neighbors, including dried vegetables, fresh vegetables, and wild vegetables, which were picked yesterday.
The people who came to help did not let her worry at all, and they consciously brought tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks and other items.
No wonder many people in later generations still miss this era, it is too simple and honest to be respected by anyone.
Feng Qingxue has no brothers and sisters-in-law, which is equivalent to having no brothers and sisters-in-law. The closest people in the family are the second uncle and the second aunt, so they are fully responsible for her marriage. In recent days, they have been doing their best to manage big and small things, and they have done better than Feng's father and mother.
Why do you say that? Because Feng's father and mother value sons over daughters, they don't pay attention to Feng Qingxue at all.
Feng Qingxue closed the cupboard and locked it, and handed the key to Aunt Feng Er who came early in the morning. "Aunt, I went out the other day and asked someone to get some bacon, eggs, and sausages. I told you yesterday that they are all in the cupboard with peanuts, melon seeds, and candies. I won't be here at noon, don't forget to take them out to entertain the guests! Cook a few dishes, thank you for your help these days."
"Why do you need so many good things? A table with half a pound of bacon is the best banquet, and you can take the rest as a dowry. No one will dare to look down on you when you get there!" Aunt Feng Er felt particularly distressed.
Feng Qingxue smiled slightly, "I'll make some oil and water for everyone. No matter whether I bring anything or not, they won't look down on me."
"Who did you inherit this generosity from! With these good things, the people who help will definitely be more attentive!" Aunt Feng sighed, took out two hot boiled eggs from her pocket and stuffed them into Feng Qingxue's hands, "When people come later, you won't have time to eat. When they pick you up, you don't know when you can eat. Eat two eggs first to fill your stomach."
"Thank you, Aunt Feng!" Feng Qingxue did not refuse.
When she finished eating the eggs, Aunt Feng had already looked at the things in the cupboard and said excitedly: "Ten years ago, and ten years later, no family would do as well as you did this time! Scrambled eggs, fried bacon, fried sausages, two big meats on the table, melon seeds, peanuts, candy, and lard from the oil can. I guarantee that everyone will eat with oil in their mouths!"
