Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

With the two pigs sent by the Liu brothers, are you still worried about this banquet? Why don't you just open up and do whatever you want?

On the morning of the 8th, Sheng Liancheng went to invite the master chef of the forest farm canteen and asked him to arrange the banquet.

"Master Li, everything is here. If you look at the arrangement, if there is anything missing, just tell me and I will go and buy things."

Sheng Liancheng pointed to the yard, where there were two pigs, one large and one small. There were two pots of pigs over there, as well as wild boar meat, roe deer meat, venison, pheasant and hare in two large wooden barrels. He said quite proudly.

"Oh, where is this old meat? What's missing? As long as you don't feel bad, Lao Sheng, I'll keep it for you to understand."

The master chef in the cafeteria is surnamed Li. He is very good at cooking, but he doesn't have much room to show off his skills.

When he saw the materials prepared by the Sheng family today, he was so happy. He walked around with his hands behind his back, and he had a rough idea. He immediately found some paper and started discussing the menu with Sheng Liancheng.

"Sauerkraut pork belly, crispy white meat, pork slices, braised venison with green onions, spicy fried roe deer meat, chicken and rabbit stewed with mushrooms and potatoes, frozen pork liver platter, Sixi meatballs, dried tofu rolls, pork knuckle and pork head platter .”

Master Li pointed to the name of the dish he had written and told Mr. and Mrs. Sheng Liancheng.

“When my parents enjoy the food, they serve carrots and three delicacies stewed in honey.

Then put those big bones and stuff on top of the sauerkraut and stew them, and some fat sausages and stuff, and entertain the people who came to help today in the evening, what do you two think about it? "

It’s actually not easy to host banquets these days, especially in winter and spring. The only edible vegetables are the same old three, radish, cabbage, potatoes, and no other green vegetables.

Meat is provided by ticket, fish is a no-brainer, and Fei Laojin can't get much.

Many people hold banquets, and if they can put together six dishes, that's pretty good.

Like the Sheng family, they can easily put together ten dishes, and most of them are meat, which is unique.

Master Li felt that these ingredients could not be wasted, so the menu was quite tough.

"Oh, that's great. Master Li, just do as you say. I think it's almost enough for ten tables, and you can just prepare for the twelve or three tables, okay?"

When Sheng Liancheng and his wife heard this, they thought the menu was too tough and it was definitely okay.

The host agreed to the menu, and Master Li now showed his skills. He directed the wives who came to help to get busy in the yard.

Stew the meat that needs to be stewed first, chop the stuffing that needs to be chopped, and put the stuff that needs to be fried last.

It's not that cold in April anymore. A series of sheds have been set up in the yard, and three large pots are set up under the sheds. They are all steaming, and the fragrance is constantly wafting around with the heat.

The Sheng family is well-connected in the forest farm. Sheng Xiping's marriage is a great joy, and many people come to help.

The women helped with cooking and steaming steamed buns, while the men borrowed tables, stools, pots, pans, and other household items.

For a time, the courtyard of the Sheng family was extremely lively.

Everyone was busy working until evening, and the Sheng family cooked delicious food and entertained them. After eating and drinking, most of the helpers left.

The remaining ones who were relatively close to each other helped make a lot of dumplings after dinner for those who would pick up and see off their relatives tomorrow morning.

April 9th, the 28th day of the second lunar month, was the official day of marriage between Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan.

As soon as we got up early in the morning, the Sheng family was very busy.

Sheng Xian, Sheng Xikang and others all took leave and did not go to class. They were all wearing new clothes for the New Year, neatly dressed, just waiting to go to the wedding.

Several of Sheng Xiping's buddies are also very energetic. They are still pointing out the important tasks today, so naturally they cannot let the chain slip.

Regardless of whether you are picking up a relative or seeing off a relative, the emphasis is on going in an odd and returning home in an even number.

There is also a local saying that if the aunt is not given away, the aunt will not marry.

That is to say, the groom's aunt cannot be included among the welcoming relatives, and the bride's aunt cannot be included among the sending relatives.

The Sheng family has no relatives here, only Sheng Xiping's uncle Zhang Shouzhi is here, so Zhang Shouzhi has to take the lead in welcoming the bride.

The Sheng family found Liu Changde and Qin Qiuyan, plus the brothers and sisters Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang, together with Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo and others, to form an odd-numbered wedding team.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after everyone ate dumplings at Sheng's house, they went out to welcome the bride.

Ordinarily, this is a forestry farm. It is not far from the east end to the west end. It can be reached by walking.

In order to show that the Sheng family valued their new daughter-in-law, Sheng Liancheng specially negotiated with Liu Changde and borrowed a carriage from the Great Alkali Field, dressed in red and colorful colors, to go to welcome the bride.

Over at the old house, everyone in the Zhou family didn't sleep much last night. They got up early today and asked Zhou Qinglan to change clothes and tidy up.

Nowadays, the marriage process is not as cumbersome as in the old society. Especially for the bride, there is no need to open her face, put her hair in a bun, or wear any makeup.

Just put on new clothes, comb your hair and wear a red flower.

Zhou Qinglan's hair reached her waist, so she simply braided it, tied it behind her head, and put a red headband on her bun.

The red and black plaid coat Sheng Xiping had made for her had been taken back a long time ago. The Zhou family also made new clothes for her, including a red satin cotton jacket and red cotton trousers.

According to the rules left by the elders, the bride wears thick cotton pants on the wedding day, so she must wear them regardless of winter or summer.

Of course, not many people actually get married in the summer. Most people get married in the winter, so wearing cotton pants is perfect.

The two families agreed that Zhou Qinglan would wear a red cotton jacket and red cotton trousers during the wedding reception and ceremony.

After waiting for the blessing ceremony to end and the banquet started, Zhou Qinglan put on the clothes made by the Sheng family and came out to toast.

In this way, regardless of the face of the mother-in-law's family, everything is taken care of, and it looks good.

Zhou Qinglan grows well and is taken care of by the Sheng family in the forest farm, and her complexion is also very good.

People say that there are no ugly girls in eighteen years old, and this is true.

A girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, with fresh and tender skin, rosy and white skin, clear and bright eyes, and looks very good without makeup.

Tang Bin and Li Yuqin had brought their children over a long time ago. The Zhou family also cooked dumplings. The people sending the bride off had eaten the dumplings. Zhou Qinglan also packed up and waited for the Sheng family to come to pick up the bride.

"Come on, come on, the bride-to-be is here."

Zhou Qingyue and the Tang family boys were watching outside. They saw the welcoming team from a distance and immediately ran into the yard and announced the news loudly.

Everyone in the room quickly checked again to make sure that all the dowry items were ready.

Wang Chunxiu trimmed her daughter's hair again, straightened her clothes, and told Zhou Qinglan to sit on the kang and not move around.

A firecracker was set off outside the gate of the old house early. As soon as the wedding team arrived in front of the door, Zhou Qingyue lit the firecrackers immediately.

Then he took the two boys from the Tang family and blocked the entrance, preventing Sheng Xiping and others from entering smoothly.

"Red envelope, red envelope." The three boys smiled and blocked the door to ask for red envelopes.

Fortunately, Sheng Xiping and others were well prepared. Wang Jianshe next to him quickly took out red envelopes and candies.

Each of them stuffed a red envelope and grabbed a handful of candies, which made the three boys so happy that they immediately moved away.

"Brother-in-law, come in, my sister is waiting in the house."

There were red envelopes and candies. Zhou Qingyue had already forgotten the heroic words he had released before. Le Diandian took the red envelope and went to count the money.
