Chapter 352 Preparing for the Banquet (seeking Subscription and Monthly Pass)
After the carriage was repaired, it was the third day, and the banquet was going to be held tomorrow.

Fang Zhiwen, Fang Zhiwu, and Fang Zhigang drove two cars to the county, accompanied by Liu Dazhuang and Liu Erzhuang, and they went to the county to buy ingredients for tomorrow.

The rest are setting up pots and stoves at home, cleaning up the yard, and will have a banquet in their own yard tomorrow.

When they were repairing the carriage yesterday, Jiayin and the three girls went to the cloth shop in the county together to buy a ready-made wedding dress for Liu Yuer.

In fact, the wedding dress here is sewn after the engagement, and it takes one or two years to complete the sewing of the wedding dress, and then wear it when they get married.

It's just that after the engagement, Liu Yu'er traveled with them and had no time to sew a wedding dress at all.

Another one, they are going back to Fangjia Village to hold a wedding, and the wedding dresses there are different from the wedding dresses here, so they plan to buy ready-made ones.

The wedding dress here is not red, but black with colorful embroidery.

The headgear used here for weddings is also black cloth with multicolored embroideries, which wraps the hair in a round circle. Jiayin and the others looked weird at first, but after a closer look, it is very delicate and I think it is also very beautiful.

Jiayin and Yang Huiyun couldn't help but each bought a set of embroidered dresses worn by unmarried women here.

They are usually worn for festivals or grand occasions. They are somewhat similar to wedding dresses, except that the patterns are not so festive and complicated.

They are going to wear it for the banquet tomorrow. From yesterday to today, the three of them are changing their clothes at home.

That's right, it's just changing clothes. After all, they are bought off-the-shelf, and the size is definitely not so perfect.

Although I have tried my best to buy the one that fits better, but I still need to modify some places.

Liu Yu'er is okay, she is a local girl after all, and these clothes are all made according to the local people's figure, so it is easier to buy.

One of Jiayin and Yang Huiyun is shorter and the other is thinner.

Yang Huiyun is relatively thin and looks empty in the clothes she bought.

Although Jiayin is taller among her peers, she is young after all, and all she can buy are adult women's clothes, so both of them have to modify their clothes.

Fortunately, they are all quite clever, Liu Yu'er told them how to change, and the two of them got started very quickly.

Just in the yard, taking advantage of the good light, I finally changed my clothes yesterday afternoon and this morning.

After the modification, the three of them began to help clean up the house. Fang Zhiyuan and the others cleaned up the yard, and the house was handed over to them.

Tomorrow, the relatives of Aunt Liu's natal family will come over. Although they may stay at the second uncle's house for a longer time, they will still come to sit in the room during the banquet and clean up every corner.

I didn't invite a few families tomorrow, but there are quite a few people in each family. After a rough calculation, there are dozens of people, and at least five tables are required.

Tomorrow morning, I will borrow tables from the families who come to the banquet. It is not easy to go to those who have not invited them, and they have to use them for dinner. Only the tables of the families who come to the banquet are free.

Of course, just to say something, most of the time when a family comes over, they just bring the tables, chairs and benches along.

This is a customary way to treat guests in the village. Most of them bring their own tables, chairs, benches, bowls and plates to eat wine, and take them back after eating.

After all, no one will have a few tables and a pile of dishes.

There are only three rooms in total, one for each of the three people, and they were cleaned up in a short while.

Other places are usually cleaned up and not dirty, just sweep the corners and corners.

After cleaning up the house, the three of them had nothing to do for a while, so they called Fang Zhiyuan and the other three who had also cleaned up the yard outside, and discussed whether they should take some fruit snacks from the storage bag or something.

Fang Zhiqiang thought for a while, "Why don't you get some of the fruits we picked in the Four Seasons Valley? You can get some not very rare ones. You can usually buy them in the county town during the season, but this season is not easy to buy. Let’s just say we bought it in the city.”

It certainly cannot be said that it was brought back from Hainan County. After all, it has been more than a month on the road, so it is impossible for it to be so fresh.

Liu Yu'er said: "I won't take dim sum out. We don't buy much and save it for the road. If we take it out, it's not enough to share, and if we have more, it's unnecessary."

Afterwards, they closed the door, took out all the fruits picked from the Four Seasons Valley in the house, and picked them.

Take out some that are easier to preserve, so that it can be said that the store that sells fruit is well preserved.

The ones that are not very easy to store and are easy to be bumped at first glance, so I won't take them out.

As for other things, they discussed it again and brought out another bag of one hundred catties of rice.

Although good rice can be bought in the county here, Liu Yuer estimated that Liu Dazhuang would not let Fang Zhiwu and the others buy it, because the price of good rice is too expensive.

Most of the banquets here use brown rice, probably they will buy brown rice back.

They all thought, this is probably the only one invitation here, and they don't know if they will have a chance to come back in the future, since there are not many people, it's okay to eat better.

The brown rice bought back can be left for Liu Erzhuang's family. The three and a half children in his family are ready to eat, and they can eat it for a while later.

As for the other ingredients, Jiayin reached out to Fang Zhiwu and the others who bought them in the county. Seeing that they had already bought half a piece of pork, which only weighed a few dozen catties, she brought out some pheasants and hares.

A total of five pheasants and five hares were brought out. At that time, there would be five tables, one pheasant and one hare on each table, plus pork dishes and a few green vegetables, it should be enough.

After finishing these things, put them back into the storage bag first, and prepare to wait for Fang Zhiwu and the others to come back, and then take out the things and mix them into the bought things.

Fang Zhiwu and the others went out in the morning and didn't come back until the afternoon. They bought two carts of things, and they all walked back with the carts.

Although it can be put into a storage bag, but this is not a hurry, and I am afraid that Liu Dazhuang and Liu Erzhuang will be surprised, although they also know about the Dragon God.

Since they drove two cars, they could put them down, and when they came back to unload the car, they always had to put on a show. After all, they had already talked about inviting people from the village to a banquet, so they couldn't come back with an empty car.

In case you meet people from the same village on the road, you always need something. If you want to see it, it's hard to say if you see two empty cars.

Not to mention, when they came back, they really ran into people from the same village. Although they didn't have a good relationship, they didn't say it was impolite to lift the curtain of the car to look inside.

But seeing how deep their ruts are, one can tell that the car must be full of things. If the car is empty, the ruts will be light and light.

Seeing them all walking outside again, I knew that the car was full and there was no room for anyone.

Especially Liu Dazhuang's house is at the entrance of the village, and those people must pass by Liu's house when they come back together, so they just stopped by the door to watch the excitement.

Hearing the sound, the brothers of the Fang family ran out, and the three boys of Liu Erzhuang's family also came to help unload the car.

Seeing the sacks and baskets being carried into the yard, the people around were all envious and talking about it.

"Yu'er from Liu Dazhuang's family really found a good family. It will cost a lot of money to look at the things in this cart?" Villager A said.

"Really, did you see that there is still half a piece of pork! Pork is very expensive at this time, and most people would not buy it now." Villager B said.

"There is no way. Everyone raises pigs until the Chinese New Year. One is to eat them at home, and the other is to sell them at a high price. There are very few pigs left, so they can only be bought in pork shops in the county. The price of buying half-fried pigs here is different, much more expensive than domestic ones." Villager C said enviously.

"Nowadays, pork is fifteen cents a catty, so this half-sliced ​​pork must be several tens of catties larger, probably more than one or two taels of silver." Villager B said.

"Did you see that there are two sacks of sacks, which should be rice? I bought two hundred catties for this purchase, and I don't know how many people I will invite. I will definitely not use up so much. The rest is left for myself. Eat." The villager Jia said sourly.

"If you want to say that the folks in our village have been invited for so many years, I don't know if I can come back after marrying far away. In the future, we can take care of Liu Erzhuang's family." Ding, a villager, said in a strange voice. Small, probably deliberately told Liu Dazhuang and the others in the yard.

Villager B next to him sneered: "What are you thinking? Please don't invite the whole village? Then you can't open the water table? Besides, they may not come back in the future. What are you doing? How can you take care of him? How can you take care of him? It would be nice not to take advantage of others.”

Villager Ding immediately became unhappy, "How do you talk? When did I take advantage of others?"

"You don't take advantage of others. Who pulled the vegetables from my vegetable field the day before yesterday?" Villager B sarcastically said.

"From what you mean, I pulled out that vegetable! Did you see me pull it out? You can't just make false accusations..." Ding, a villager, looked rascal.

"I lost a vegetable in my vegetable field. The one you ate immediately at night, what do you think? You don't grow that vegetable in your vegetable field. Don't tell me, you bought it from the county seat." Villager B squinted she said.

"Your family grows cabbage. Others don't like it. My family doesn't have it, but my second brother's planted it. I can't go to my second brother's house to pluck a few?" Ding, a villager, expressed dissatisfaction.

Villager B sneered and said, "Look, you're showing your secrets! Did I mention any dish and you knew it was cabbage? If you didn't steal it, how would you know what dish I'm talking about?"

"..."

Jiayin was amused when she heard the voices outside, and she didn't know how they got into a fight to catch the thief.

That person is quite interesting, and he knows how to talk to others. It is also a talent to make others recognize him.

It was noisy outside, the Fang family brothers and Liu Dazhuang didn't care, anyway they wanted to think whatever they wanted, they just invited themselves to have a good relationship, and if they didn't have a good relationship, they didn't get well, and they might even be scolded as stupid.

The people outside watched for a while, and they dispersed when they saw that they were bored. After all, they couldn’t eat after seeing it, and it just annoyed themselves. They might as well go home and do housework and work in the fields.

The crowd dispersed slowly, and the Fang family brothers drove the donkey cart and horse cart that had finished unloading into the yard.

There was a group of people around the door before, and it was not easy for them to drive the car in directly. By that time, those people would not come into the yard to see it, so they simply unloaded it at the door, and just watched it. .

Jiayin and the others walked up to Fang Zhiwen and the others, and told them their thoughts on taking things out of the storage bag.

Fang Zhiwen and the others thought about it for a while, and Fang Zhiwen said: "Forget about the fruit, just bring some back to Aunt Liu's family when they leave. This can be regarded as a serious relative of the younger siblings. The other village chiefs eat it. There may be some rumors going on.”

Especially the village head's family, Liu Dazhuang said, the relationship is not very good, it is unnecessary.

This is really the case, so I listened to Fang Zhiwen and only took out the pheasant, hare and rice.

It's easy to explain, just say that they took taxis before they came. This thing is everywhere, and you can basically find it on the mountain.

And they did go hunting in the mountains a few times on the way here, and these were really hunted on the road, but they took a little longer.

The ones they put in the storage bag have been eaten long ago. Although the storage bag can keep fresh, they subconsciously feel that it is better to eat the old ones first and then eat the new ones.

Fang Zhiwen said: "We originally wanted to buy a whole pig, but there weren't that many in the pork shop, and it was too late to buy it tomorrow, so we bought half a pig first.

There are only three pork shops in the county, two of which are smaller. We only bought half a pig in the largest pork shop.

At the beginning, I thought about using some pheasants and hares, but there is too little oil and water to use wild animals for the banquet. It is better to use domestic pigs with more fat and fat.

We also bought pork suet, and bought all the pork suet from the three pork shops, and used it when cooking.

I’m going to fry those lard today and use it tomorrow…”

Jiayin's eyes lit up when she heard that lard was about to be fried. She likes to eat lard dregs after boiling lard.

Looking at Jiayin's expression, Fang Zhiyuan knew what she was thinking. He couldn't help but rubbed her head and said, "After processing the ingredients at night, I will make dumplings with pork scraps. I haven't eaten pasta for a long time, especially Dumplings, I didn’t eat them during Chinese New Year.”

When the Fang family brothers heard this, they couldn't help swallowing.

Liu Yuer and Yang Huiyun had never eaten it, and were very curious about how to make the so-called dumplings.

So in the rest of the afternoon, everyone worked together. Not only did they use the two cauldrons they brought, but even Liu Erzhuang took over the cauldron from home and built another stove in the yard. Anyway, it will be used tomorrow.

Use a large pot to boil lard, a large pot to boil water to blanch chicken feathers, and skins of rabbits.

They have to take care of these things today, and they can do it directly tomorrow morning, and everyone will come over for a banquet at noon tomorrow.

Don't worry about the greens, there's still time to wash them tomorrow, but wash them early today, I'm afraid they will wilt if left overnight.
