Chapter 95 Double Happiness
Friday, January 29, 2021.
Qinghe Village.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the open space about 30 meters in front of the Qin family villa was brightly lit, and more than a dozen masters were making some essential dishes for tomorrow's wedding banquet.
These dishes are special dishes in local wedding banquets, and because they are very troublesome to make, they often have to be prepared one night in advance.
Su Xiaoman looked at the busy master and asked, "Liufu, the big bowls on those long tables are stacked three or four layers high, and they look quite like they are buckled. I wonder if I have read it wrong?"
Qin Liufu nodded and smiled, "You read that right, it's really a buckle. In the wedding banquet here, a large bowl of buckle is an indispensable dish!"
Su Xiaoman exclaimed: "The buckles are piled together and look so spectacular. Can I take pictures?"
Qin Liufu smiled and said, "It's nothing now. Just make a braised pork. If you want to take a photo, wait until the masters make the meat balls and egg rolls and put them on the plate, the scene will be spectacular!"
Su Xiaoman said: "This is a common pork buckle, but the pork buckle on your side is quite large, but what are the meat balls and egg rolls?"
Qin Liufu popularized science: "The meat ball is to chop half-fat and lean pork, mix it with seasonings, and then wrap it with the pig's thin layer of mesh oil into meat balls as big as a child's fist, and then steam it. The egg roll is fried into thin cake shape with eggs, sprinkle with minced meat like meat balls, and then roll it into strips of egg rolls, and then steam it."
Su Xiaoman nodded, then looked at the big pot that was stewed with fragrance and asked, "What is the stewed in that pot? Why did I smell the smell of lotus root?"
Qin Liufu smiled and said, "Yes, the special sweet lotus root stewed in the pot is ours. Stew it with chopped pork elbow and lotus root, plus enough sugar, and stew it in such a large pot for more than ten hours. The taste is absolutely unique. You will know if you try it tomorrow!"
Su Xiaoman said in surprise: "I didn't expect there are so many special dishes here?"
Qin Liufu smiled and said, "There is also glutinous rice, which is also an indispensable dish at wedding banquets. People who have the conditions will wrap pork belly or chicken in the glutinous rice, while people who have no conditions will simply stir-fry glutinous rice."
These are all local characteristics. Su Xiaoman is quite interested in this aspect and asked, "Are there any other special dishes?"
Qin Liufu smiled and said, "In addition to these essential dishes, there is also a dish with very local characteristics. We call this dish "bamboo shoot line".
We use the best bamboo shoots we have (this dish is the key. If it is not the best bamboo shoots made by locals, but they are bought from the market, and the soul of this dish cannot be made). Cut pork into shreds, cut black fungus into shreds, and then paired with local fans (this is also very important. Only local fans are sold, and the vermicelli bought in other places will be rotten as soon as they are cooked, and the taste is far worse). If you don’t bother, you can also cut some garlic white shreds.
Then it is made by our authentic rural masters. It is definitely a color, fragrance and taste, and it is a must-have dish for wedding banquets or festivals here.
Moreover, there are many ways to make this dish. In addition to what I just mentioned, you can also use shredded pork, bamboo shoots, black fungus, shredded white radish, vermicelli, crab meat, sandworms, garlic and even shredded oil tofu to make a different flavor.
In short, this dish pays great attention to the ingredients themselves and the master's skills. Almost every household in our local area will make this dish, but even if the same ingredients are matched, the taste of people who don't choose the right ingredients or who are not good at craftsmanship is very different.
Among the masters I invited this time, there are experts who make this dish. All the ingredients are left to him to choose. Tomorrow you will definitely taste the most authentic 'bamboo shoot thread'."
"I'm so excited about you!"
"Looking forward, although we cannot compare to the Zhongshan Road Food Street in the provincial capital, the taste of these special dishes is still OK!"
...
The next morning.
Nine wedding cars drove from Luancheng Town to Qinghe Village.
The one driving at the front is the photography car of the wedding company, which is mainly responsible for shooting the wedding process and then making commemorative discs. The seven wedding cars in the middle are Mercedes-Benz of the Qin family's seven siblings, and the last luxury bus is also the car prepared by the wedding company.
Those who drive are also designated drivers prepared by wedding companies.
I have to say that the wedding company is really doing very well now. As long as you are willing to spend money, everything will be arranged for you properly, so that you will not have any worries.
In these wedding cars, in addition to the groom Qin Dabao and the bride Huang Tongtong, there are also the family and relatives and friends of the bride Huang Tongtong. Her four best friends with good relationships are naturally among them.
In addition, there are also a group of beautiful store managers and beautiful store clerks in the fruit store. This is naturally approved and approved by the big boss Qin Liufu. After all, the fruit store has to be closed. If the big boss is not approved by the big boss, who can bear this responsibility?
At this time, in one of the Mercedes-Benz wedding cars, four beautiful shop managers of the fruit shop, Chen Yuanyuan, Jiang Jing, Ye Yingying and Liu Yiyi, were chatting with emotion.
"A few months ago, we went to work in the fruit store together. Sister Huang was arranged by the boss to be the flagship store to be the store manager because she was the most beautiful. Originally, I thought Sister Huang would start a little higher than us. As long as we show our management talents, we might have a chance to surpass Sister Huang.
But who would have thought that in just a few months, Sister Huang transformed into the wife of the shareholder of our fruit store. How could we catch up with it?" Chen Yuanyuan said with an exclaimed look on his face.
Jiang Jing joked after hearing this: "This is not simple. In addition to the big boss, our fruit store has eight shareholders. If we exclude four female shareholders and today's groom, there are still three shareholders left! Yuanyuan, you can transform into one of our shareholder wives, and you will have the chance to surpass Sister Huang!"
Liu Yiyi nodded and said with a smile: "I think Sister Jing is right. Yuanyuan, you are very compatible with our third shareholders. As long as you have that meaning, I believe that the third shareholders will definitely not reject you!"
Ye Yingying also smiled in agreement and said, "Yes, Sister Yuanyuan, you don't have to envy Sister Huang. As long as you don't dislike the third shareholder's appearance is not good enough, I'm willing to make up for you!"
Chen Yuanyuan said speechlessly: "I see if you three are itchy and dare to joke with me!"
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "Yuanyuan, we are all saying it is true, but there is no intention of joking!"
Chen Yuanyuan sighed, "Sister Jing, don't make trouble. Tell me, what kind of husband should we marry to be happier?"
Liu Yiyi pondered and said, "Marry a good family, gentle and considerate, and has a dedicated relationship. If he likes you and his husband, he may live a happier life!"
Jiang Jing laughed and said, "Yiyi, where is this kind of husband? Come and have a dozen..."
Ye Yingying also shook her head and said, "Yiyi, such a top-notch husband is not said to be extinct in the world, but the concepts we can encounter are almost zero, so let's face it!"
Chen Yuanyuan said: "In fact, there are many men with good family conditions, gentle and considerate, and dedicated feelings. But to meet these conditions, you also like you and you like him, that would be really difficult!"
Jiang Jing said: "Actually, I think Sister Huang's choice is pretty good. Daqin always has a good personality. We have known about it all over the past period of time. Sister Huang chose to marry him, and she is destined to be happy in this life!"
The other three nodded secretly. Women are the strangest animals in the world. What they value most is their appearance, and what they don’t value the least is their appearance.
If it is a man, if the woman is too ugly, no matter how rich she is, not many men are willing to marry her home as a wife. But if it is a woman, no matter how ugly the man is, as long as the money is enough, there will be a lot of women willing to marry her.
...
Qinghe Village.
After the relocation ceremony, the Qin family's large villa officially started to be used. At this time, the entire villa was open to relatives and friends. Those relatives and friends who had never had the opportunity to go in and watch since the villa was built flocked in, and then they were shocked and stunned.
The relatives and friends of the Qin family were not rich people, and only after Qin Liufu rose this year did he pull up all the relatives in his family.
So in terms of vision, these relatives at home are not very good. Apart from the luxurious villas seen on TV, this big villa in the Qin family is the most luxurious villa they have ever seen in their lives.
So, whether it was the relatives of Qin's father or Qin's mother, they secretly made up their minds that their family would also strive to build such a big villa next year.
If they were still in the past, they would not have had such outrageous ideas, but now their income can make the villagers envious of them. This big villa worth millions was not dared to think about it before, but now they have worked hard for a year or two, but there is no chance to realize it.
Especially the third uncle's family, who had enough staff and started earlier than other relatives, was more confident and decided to put this matter on the agenda in the beginning of next spring.
Relatives and friends were visiting the big villa, and in the large open space outside the courtyard of the big villa, twenty or thirty masters were busy.
As for the people who are helping the master, there are more people, basically all the young wives from various families in the village, who are responsible for washing dishes, vegetables, washing ginger, peeling garlic and other small matters.
Originally, when a wedding was held in a rural area, the man’s family would count on each other, and he would basically be so busy that he would not touch the ground.
But it’s different for the Qin family to hold a wedding. The money is given. The wedding process is handled by the wedding company, and the experienced masters in the food and drinks are responsible for it. Even all kinds of chores are taken care of by the young wives in the village.
So, Qin's father, who should be the busiest person, had no need to do anything. He held a hookah with a red face and bragged to his relatives and friends of his generation.
Qin's mother also couldn't find anything to do, so she could only chat with her aunts and sisters.
Let’s not talk about the groom Qin Dabao. On the way back, Qin Erying came back with a rare trip and was chatting with several sisters who grew up in the village.
Qin Sangui, Qin Sihai, and Qin Wufeng stood scattered in a more conspicuous position in the courtyard, and dealt with some trivial matters at any time, such as taking a socket, a kettle, etc.
Of course, Qin Liufu was wandering around with Su Xiaoman!
After all, this was the first time Su Xiaoman attended a wedding banquet in the countryside of Guizhou Province, and everything felt very novel. Qin Liufu became her professional commentator.
Qin Qiyue, Qin Baxing and Qin Jiuzhu were taking photos or short videos everywhere with their mobile phones. Every ten or eight minutes, they came to the circle of friends to watch the screen, and were having a lot of fun!
When the time pointed to 10:32 am, firecrackers suddenly sounded gongs and drums, and the lion dance team of the wedding company instantly moved, attracting everyone's eyes.
Chapter completed!
