Food starts from cooking

Chapter 29 In order to eat, the gift money has increased in price

The morning mist cleared, and Xu Shulong came out wearing a coat with a sleeping face.

This is the case in Long City. Although it is midsummer, the temperature difference between morning and evening is too large. During the day, the sun is scorching hot, and the scalp hurts from the sun, but sometimes you need to cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep at night. Every year, many people come to Long City to escape the summer heat.

Not to mention it's still rural.

The morning glow is dazzling in the sky, the distant mountains lie horizontally, and there are birds gliding by, but the courtyard is still quiet, but there are firecrackers in the distance.

After a brief cleaning, other staff also got up one after another.

"Didn't the workers come?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, I said last night that there was a happy event in the village, so I won't come today!"

After all, they are outsiders, and there are still some things in this yard that need to be cleaned up and made, so a few local villagers are also invited to help.

"happy event?"

No wonder there was the sound of firecrackers. The few people ate a little, and then walked along the path through the field ridge pond to the official road, just in time to see black wedding cars speeding past.

"so many people?"

Although it's a bit far away, you can still see that there are a lot of people at the door of the house on the side of the official road. Xin Dao's family is quite popular in the village.

"Director Xu, why don't we go and follow along?"

Qin Lu, the assistant next to him, suddenly said something.

Xu Shulong thought about it and agreed. They will stay in this village for about three months, and naturally they cannot avoid dealing with the villagers. Showing their faces today is a real meeting.

"Then you and I will go there!"

There are a lot of staff, and it is impossible for them all to go there. It is enough for the two of them to be representatives.

When it was nearly twelve o'clock, Xu Shulong saw the wedding car coming back, and it happened to be parked on the official road not far from him. As a city dweller, he rarely saw such a scene. Naturally, he was not the only one who came out to watch one.

"What is this for?"

"You guys don't understand?"

"Oh, you are those strangers!"

The spectators also came over, turned their heads to look at Xu Shulong and the others, Aunt Wang smiled and said: "This is called pulling a cart!"

After a brief explanation of pulling the cart, Xu Shulong and others suddenly realized.

"I didn't expect this custom to exist!"

Speaking of which, Niu Erma has already started to pull the cart. Of course, this is just for show, children and many people are shouting loudly.

Xu Shulong and the others were really infected, and followed the car down.

After tossing about for about ten minutes, the car finally arrived at Niu Er's house.

"There's also this custom, I've never seen it before, but we have a lot of customs in Pengcheng!"

At this time, at the door, Zhou You also took Liu Qingyao to watch the fun, no, it should be said that Liu Qingyao took Zhou You to watch the fun, she insisted on watching.

After all, it was the first time I saw her, and my face was full of excitement and novelty.

Zhou You leaned against the door, watching Niu Er knocking on the door with great interest. At this time, the music was mixed with the sound of firecrackers and booing, which was deafening. No one knew what the groom was doing.

but……

Someone frowned.

"what's the situation?"

"Why haven't you got out of the car yet?"

"Hurry up and come in!"

At this time, Niu Er was going to enter the house with his new wife on his back, and then go to the new house to change clothes and make up. The wedding will be held at that time, but Niu Er has already opened the car door and stood there for a while.

Soon, everyone knew what was going on.

"Brother Zhou, something went wrong. They asked for a fee of 8888, otherwise I won't get off the bus!"

Zhou Hao ran over in a hurry, apparently having heard the news.

Zhou You was taken aback, 8888?

Darling, although it is true that some people will ask for some money when they get married here, but it is usually a few hundred yuan. This one is good, just 8888.

Where can I get so much money at this time!

"What's going on here?"

"I don't know!"

"It seems to be a gift!"

Xu Shulong also noticed it here. He wanted to see the bride at first, but the bride never came out!

But they are foreigners, so they thought it was a local custom.

But at this time, on the side of the wedding car, Niu Er was already sweating profusely. Fortunately, his second uncle came over and started chatting with the elders on the bride's side, but obviously, it still couldn't be resolved for a while.

Seeing this, the old village chief came over and chatted with the woman's elders too!

In the end, I don't know if an agreement was reached, Niu Er finally carried the bride in, but some people noticed that Niu Er, his second uncle and his mother didn't look very good.

"How can this be? I heard that a lot of betrothal gifts have been given. Do you need 8888 to enter the door?"

Zhou Hao was obviously a little unhappy, maybe he was thinking of himself, after all, he was going to get married in two years, and he would have to empty out his home when he couldn't tell!
"Okay, if you want to share the burden for the family, just follow me and learn more. As long as you follow me by a factor of [-] or [-], let alone getting married, you can buy a house in the city without any problem!"

Zhou You knocked next Zhou Hao on the head, turned around and walked inside.

What 8888, even 188888, has nothing to do with him!
"It's Xiaofang's mother-in-law's house!"

"This house seems to be more than ten or twenty years old!"

"Hey, the child is suffering, thankfully I asked for more!"

"But... why are there so many people in his family!"

"Fortunately, it seems that at least his family's interpersonal relationship in the village is not bad!"

Several relatives and friends of the woman who sent her off began to dislike the old house as soon as they entered the door, but they didn't dare to say anything more when they saw the big scene. After all, it was a happy event.

But when a few people came in, they suddenly noticed the gift list on the wall, and they were shocked.

"This... 1000, 800, 500... are all in the hundreds!"

"How much gift money do you have to charge!"

"I have to tell Xiaofang, she has to keep the money!"

Marriages in Long City, especially in rural areas, have this custom, that is, the gift money is put on the wall, such as XX, with numbers written on the back!
Although the bride and Niu Er are not from the same village, they are also from the same township, so they can understand at a glance.

At this time, Xu Shulong also took Qin Lu to find the place to present the gift, which was actually very eye-catching, because usually a table was set up at the door, and those who were good at writing in the same village or who were older received gifts.

"You guys?"

The old gentleman who received the gift adjusted his glasses, took the 200 yuan, and looked up at the two of them.

Strange face?

Knowing that the other party asked for his name, Xu Shulong said, "Just write Zhou You!"

They just came here to get acquainted, and they didn't think about returning the courtesy later, so they subconsciously used Zhou You's name.

The old teacher was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "Oh, you are Xiao Zhou's friends, so you don't need the money. If you want to sit at the table, just go in!"

Before Xu Shulong could react, the 200 yuan was stuffed back.

what's the situation?
Zhou You has such a big face?
But before he could speak, he was pushed back a few steps.

At the same time, someone whispered again: "Why is this gift so high?"

Xu Shulong and the others are from the city, so naturally they don't know that rural gifts are generally 51, but Niu Er and his third aunt know it!
So when she was about to give the gift with 200 yuan, and saw that several villagers from the same village on the gift list also paid [-] yuan, she could only grit her teeth and pull out a few more from her wallet!

The middle-aged man next to him was also a little surprised: "Hiss, are the people in Lingqu Village crazy? Are the etiquette so high?"

Niu Er's aunt and uncle are confused!

How did they know, because the whole village wants to eat a luxurious banquet with twenty courses, the gift money will naturally increase!
