Chapter 75: Diarrhea after eating
The neighbor who is only a few dozen meters away from his home, Chen Dazhu's family, is hosting a banquet today.

His family raised two sons.The eldest is 39 this year and the second eldest is 32 this year.Like most of the bachelors in the village, he has never been able to find a wife.

But this time, because their father had worked hard to save eight taels of silver, he asked a matchmaker who was desperate for money to find them a bride who was already in her 40s this year.

The bride, who is in her 40s, was once a widow.Later, she was almost exterminated by her husband's family, so she donated all the money from her husband's family to the temple.He took his biological daughter to become a monk in the temple.

A few years ago, her daughter had a bad life. She died tragically in a temple for no apparent reason when she was just a teenager, which made her filled with resentment and she didn't know who to direct her anger at.

Because she was quite pretty when she was young.He is remembered by many people.Even though she had been a nun for so many years, some shameless bachelors from her husband's family who couldn't get a wife still wanted to take advantage of her.

This time, an official mediator found someone to quietly pass a message to her, saying that there were still a few children in her biological sister's family alive, and if she did not return to secular life and get married, their family would be extinct.

Moreover, someone had already targeted her and found the abbot of the temple, planning to let her get out quietly late at night.At that time, whether she lives or dies, is good or bad, all depends on other people's conscience.

Despite coercion, inducement and realistic considerations, this widow, who had been a monk for more than 10 years, still accepted a bride price of seven taels of silver and married into the Chen Dazhu family in Chenjia Village on the tenth day of October.

Although the bride is in her forties this year, Chen Dazhu's two sons are all wearing red clothes borrowed from others today. They are beaming with joy, their faces are red, and they are smiling.

Married, with a wife.They are no longer the despised old bachelors.

Now that I have a mother-in-law, I can have my own children in the future.As long as they raise their children, when they are 60 or [-] years old and unable to move, they will rely on their sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren to support them in their old age.

Chen Dazhu saw his son and the daughter-in-law he had never seen before.One is to worship heaven and earth, the other is to worship in the high hall, and the husband and wife bow to each other.He has an old face full of wrinkles and a smile brighter than a chrysanthemum.

"Okay, okay! Great!"

Seeing his daughter-in-law being sent to the bridal chamber by his son, he took his two sons in the yard to greet the guests who came to have a banquet.

Chen Dazhu really spent a lot of money on hosting a banquet today.

Each table was filled with ten large dishes.It’s richer than Korean cold food.

There was a large bowl of pickled radish strips, a large bowl of pickled cucumbers, a large bowl of pickled cabbage, a large bowl of green pickles, a large plate of pickled pickled beans, and a small bowl of pickled pickles. A dish of chopped pickled salted duck eggs.Then put on a large bowl of radish and pickle soup.A large bowl of pickled garlic.

Finally, two hard dishes were served.A large pot of pickled cabbage stewed with minced pork.And a big pot of minced pork stew with pickled leeks.

In order to prepare this sumptuous banquet in the evening, Chen Dazhu borrowed a lot of things from every house in the village.

He borrowed almost every household’s tableware, tableware, and benches, tables, and chairs.

The porridge they serve today is watery.The soup is watery with so many pickles, and then some pickle soup or something.Those strong men with big appetites can drink seven or eight bowls in one sitting.

Feeling that the soup was not enough, they ate pickles.The pickles were so salty that they couldn't help but drink the soup.

However, the soup is also salty.

So, they couldn't help but ask Chen Dazhu for water.

With so much water in their stomachs, some people have to run to the toilet halfway through the banquet.

People were coming and going in front of the dining table, and it was like a market, very lively.

Chen Dazhu is actually only 54 this year, and her mother-in-law is also over 50.

Seeing that their son finally got married this year, and the people in the village were envious that they had a daughter-in-law who was filial to them, the smiles of the couple became brighter and brighter.

At this time, his family also invited someone to play suona there.

Chen Feiyan, who was sitting at the banquet, felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the increasingly harsh sound of the suona.

It's so noisy.

This suona player seems to have just learned this skill.

The music cannot be played well, and the tune cannot be played correctly.After listening too much, she felt noisy and had a headache.Annoying as hell.

However, she felt that the noisy sound was indeed a good thing that most of the villagers in Chenjia Village wanted.

Many people even whispered there, "When our son marries a wife in the future, we will also invite such a wife! Look, how lively is this?"

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she felt funny in her heart.

The pickles on the table are too salty, and I don’t know how much salt was added.Compared with what she pickled, it tasted terrible.

It looked like there was a table full of dishes, but Chen Feiyan didn't know why, she just felt that this dish was too shabby!

Although there are many plates and bowls on the table, if you look closely, they are all pickles.

Pickled radish strips, pickled cucumbers, pickled sauerkraut, pickled cabbage, pickled pickled beans, pickled dandelions... I feel like they are all the same.

The two legendary hard dishes, such as the leek minced meat soup,...the minced meat is simply invisible to the human eye!
Others said that the banquet held by Chen Dazhu's family this time was particularly sumptuous, that their family was grand, and that the banquet was decent, but she really felt that today was just a party of pickles, which did not taste good and could not fill her stomach.

Thinking that her family's gift money was twenty cents, Chen Feiyan urged her men and all the children to eat quickly.

Once the food on the table is eaten, there will be no more.

Because everyone thought so and wanted to get their money back, the guests with 50 to [-] people per table all worked hard to grab and eat as hard as they could.

By the end of the meal, everyone couldn't help but run to the toilet and had diarrhea.

Chen Feiyan once wondered if there were any laxatives in Chen Dazhu's food.

However, the reality was exactly as she suspected.

The food served at Chen Dazhu's house is not clean.

In order to save food, their family never washes rice.There are gravels and other things in it, so just cook them in one pot.

Their pickles are not washed either.Just cut it into small pieces, put it in a bowl, and place it on each table.

Moreover, when Chen Dazhu helped his mother-in-law cut meat, he was in a hurry to poop as soon as he started cutting it.

He saw that his mother-in-law and two sons were outside greeting guests and could not help him look after the meat. He was worried that the meat would be picked up by cunning mice when he was not in the kitchen.

So, he grabbed the three kilograms of meat and hurried into his toilet.

While gritting his teeth and defecating, he tightly grasped the smelly and black pork he bought at the cheapest price.There was even more reluctance in his eyes.

It would be such a waste to chop up such good meat and share it with outsiders.

After pooping, he grabbed a wooden stick and rubbed the feces off his butt, then picked up a few leaves and wiped it.

His family is a sloppy one.

I never knew it was as simple as "wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet".

Even after Chen Dazhu went to the toilet, his hands were stained with some yellow feces. He wiped them hard on the loess wall of the toilet, then grabbed the three kilograms of pork in his hand and went to the kitchen to cut the meat.

This is the sanitary condition of his home.

No one who came to his house for dinner did not poop for three days in a row.

It's a pity that Chen Feiyan didn't realize at this time that the vast majority of rural people in ancient times had no awareness of hygiene at all.
