Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

After the reform and opening up, Aunt Pang opened her own bakery.

She is a master chef, proficient in both Chinese and Western pastries. She is best at making palace pastries, especially silver ingot cakes and pea yellow cakes.

Speaking of the pea yellow made by Aunt Pang, the ingredients are very particular. It only uses peas, white sugar, maltose, water, and agar.

Agar is a plant gum extracted from seaweed, which is used to make the pea yellow coagulate into lumps.

This is the most traditional old-fashioned way of cooking, and it is very much in line with the tastes of ordinary people in Beijing.

Do you remember the birthday cake that Xu Fei and Xu Wenwen ordered for Liu Yueru on her birthday?

I ordered it from Aunt Pang. Their two families have always had contact with each other.

The skill of making birthday cakes was learned by Xu Dacan in 1986 when he helped Aunt Pang to obtain skills training.

It was organized by the Ministry of Light Industry, and a pastry chef specially invited from abroad was held to hold a training course on cream decorating.

The course covers a variety of techniques including flower icing, fruit cream icing, chocolate decoration, etc.

This quota is extremely precious, with only about 10 places in a class. After successfully completing this training class, Aunt Pang's bakery became completely popular.

The name of her shop is very down-to-earth: Auntie Pang’s Pastries.

Today is Xu Fei's wedding day. Aunt Pang and Lao Wang had received invitations, but they haven't come yet.

At this time, wedding banquets were no longer held in the courtyard. Those with some financial resources chose to hold them in large hotels outside.

For example, this time, Xu Dacan held the banquet at Qili Pavilion.

Apart from the relatives who arrived at the courtyard early in the morning, guests and friends usually came directly to the restaurant around 11 o'clock in the morning.

Liu Yueru and Yu Li did not dare to delay and quickly called Xu Damao and drove to invite Aunt Pang.

"..."

At Tang Jia's house, Auntie Pang untied her hair and combed it, saying, "Comb it all the way to the end, comb it twice until the black hair reaches the eyebrows, comb it three times until the children and grandchildren are all over the floor, comb it four times until the four silver bamboo shoots are evenly spaced."

While she was combing her hair, a relative came in and said, "The latest news is that the wedding procession has already set out. It's really grand, with six Santanas!"

As expected, there were exclamations in the room. Not only did they use Santanas as wedding cars, but they also got six at once! Wow…

The most proud people were definitely Tang Jia's parents, the old couple's faces were beaming with joy.

When they were discussing the wedding, she and Xu Fei had not originally planned to be so lavish, but Xu Dacan said that they did not understand the ways of the world.

Actually, we can't blame them. After all, in 90, ordinary people in Beijing still used bicycles to pick up their brides. In 90, it was not until 97 that large-scale motorcades were required to pick up brides in Beijing.

Do you remember what Haozi said about Tang Jia's family? "Her family is just like us, ordinary people. They have a little competitive spirit, but not much. They want to borrow the light of my eldest brother, but they don't know how to borrow it."

If you don't compare when you marry off your daughter, then when else will you compare, right?

So Xu Dacan simply borrowed a motorcade from Chen Jun. He was going to attend the wedding today anyway, and not only that, he would also be the witness!

At 10:15 in the morning, the wedding car arrived on time downstairs of Tang Jia's house.

For a moment, firecrackers blasted and colored paper filled the sky.

Today, there is a van in front of the six Santanas.

Xu Damao was sitting in the back of the van, holding a "Super 8" in his hand!

Apart from Xu Dacan and Xu Fei, he must be the happiest person today.

Xu Damao's skills have found a place to be put to good use again!

This story goes back a few days. Xu Dacan gave him an idea: "Brother, do you know? Sony's Hi8 is on the market!" I used to have this thing. "Hi, right?" Xu Damao's eyes once again revealed a clarity that had not been polluted by knowledge.

Xu Dacan couldn't be more anxious: "High-band 8mm camcorder, also called Super 8!"

This machine uses 8mm wide tapes. Once it was released, it was like a bombshell dropped on the market.

Xu Damao's eyes lit up: "Where can I get it? I must have it!"

Since he "really wanted" it, there was no other choice but for Lou Xiao'e to contact Brother Lou who was far away in Hong Kong overnight, and then she managed to get one for him.

When Xu Fei got married, it was Xu Dacan who gave Damao an idea: "Brother, I will arrange a van, and you will be in trouble. We will open the back door, and you can move a stool and sit inside. Then we can film the whole process of picking up the bride and make it into a movie!"

Then it was as if a new door opened in front of Xu Damao...

I have been filming weddings from start to finish since 1989!

"..."

You won’t believe it, you won’t believe it, as soon as Xu Damao got off the car, he instantly became the most handsome guy in the crowd!

People who knew him and those who didn't pointed fingers at him.

What high-tech? It looks really cool!

This made Daqueer, who had come here with his Nikon specifically to take wedding photos, very hurt. It was obvious that he had come here first, okay?

As soon as Xu Damao got off the car, another person was carried down from the van.

That's right, they carried him. Qin Hu, Qin Bao and others carried Wang Wu and his wheelchair down together.

Then Qin Hu kindly pointed at the window of Tang Jia's house and said to him: "Brother, see, it's up to you in a while. We brothers will carry you up."

After Qin Hu finished speaking, he said to Xu Fei's buddies, "Guys, cheer up and let Uncle Wang Wu draw the fire for you!"

Wang Wu regretted it! He shouldn't have come. It was a mistake for him to meet Xu Dacan and the others...

The bride-picking party had all arrived downstairs, and Tang Jia's family suddenly became tense.

One of her relatives who liked to make trouble started to make a fuss: "It's blocked, it's blocked, the door must be blocked."

Tang Jia's father's face was full of bitterness: "Do you still want my door?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Hu, Qin Bao and others lifted Wang Wu and rushed upstairs!

Most of the people in charge of stopping people in the corridor were also a little confused.

What's going on? Should we stop them or not?

Finally, Xu Fei and his party arrived smoothly at Tang Jia's house.

Xu Fei walked up to the door holding the flowers, and a voice from inside asked repeatedly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Amid the booing, Xu Fei shouted, "I'm here to pick up my wife!"

Then Qin Bao and the others started to commotion together: "Open the door, open the door quickly, or we'll knock on it!"

Tang Jia's father felt sorry for her family's door, so he quickly had it opened.

The door was open, but the scene inside was really scary!

Even Qin Bao, who was usually fearless, shuddered after seeing this scene.

All the way leading to Tang Jia's boudoir was filled with women, each holding a stick!

If there is no stick, then there are rolling pins, spoons, spatulas, etc., which are all powerful weapons...

Xu Fei and Qin Hu looked at each other, and then pushed Wang Wu to the front at the same time.
