Chapter 193 Banquet
Then the crowd watching saw Zhan Jiang, under the guidance of the matchmaker Aunt Yue Gui, lift up the red veil, revealing the face of the bride.
This immediately attracted a lot of praise, and Aunt Yuegui's auspicious words were even more extravagant, as if they were free.
What about a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match, a long-lasting marriage, and a son soon...
The two newcomers who were being praised blushed.
The villagers who were watching were even more straightforward and cheered, kissing and hugging each other...
Fortunately, they were just talking about it and didn't really make trouble in the bridal chamber.
The bride is petite and delicate, the type that becomes more attractive the more you look at her.
She has an oval face, almond eyes, and red lips with lip balm. Her skin is not very white, but not dark either. After all, she lives on the farm and has to work in the wind and sun. She is not as well-maintained as the rich people.
I heard that the bride's surname is Tian and her nickname is Mei.
At this moment, Zhan Jiang met the gaze of Tian Mei, who had just taken off her red veil. Both of them blushed involuntarily, and there was laughter and banter all around for a while.
"Alright, alright, stop looking, let the young couple have a few private words, we shouldn't be an eyesore here, let's go out and have our seats!"
Aunt Yuegui saw this and quickly asked everyone to go out for dinner, leaving the two newlyweds to drink the wedding wine...
After the wedding banquet started outside, the guests took their seats instantly, found their seats early, and waited for the food to be served, ready to show off their skills.
The Leng brothers were separated and sat at different tables, and Old Man Leng sat with several elders from the village.
Leng Kang, Chen Yueshu, Leng Xun, Zhang Cuiniang, and Leng Huai Leng Su, as elders with good relations with the Zhan family, did not have time to sit at the table for dinner in time, but were helping the Zhan family to make arrangements.
There were only a few young people there, and they couldn't help much, so they just found a good seat and prepared to start the meal.
Leng Yan sat at a table with Leng Nianzhi. Facing the old man and woman at the same table, they were a little worried about their own fighting ability.
After the sumptuous and fragrant meals were served one by one, the chopsticks were waved around on the table so much that no afterimages could be seen.
This might be the first time Leng Nianzhi had seen such a scene. He was a little dazed for a moment as he held the chopsticks.
Leng Yan was fortunate that although the people at the same table were strong in fighting, they did not eat or pretend, so it was still acceptable.
She quickly picked up a piece of braised pork and handed it to Leng Nianzhi's bowl next to her, then picked up the second piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
Some of the dishes on the table were made by the chef hired by the Zhan family, and some were made by her parents, so the dishes all tasted very good.
In addition, the Zhan family was also very generous, and most of the dishes on the banquet were meat dishes, so everyone ate voraciously and were still not satisfied.
After that, the groom will propose toasts to each table, but this is none of the children's business. The adults drink while the children hold bowls filled with the hot and sweet soup that has just been served.
Leng Yan served a bowl each for himself and Leng Nianzhi. After drinking it happily, they both felt unsatisfied.
You know, the sweet soup at the banquet is very popular. By the time they wanted to get more, it was already gone.
At this time, the Zhan Ying sisters were calling them over from afar.
At this moment, the dishes at the banquet have been served one after another. Leng Yan and her brother have almost finished eating, and then they responded to the call hand in hand.
Sisters Zhan Ying and Zhan Jin did not eat at the table, but set up a separate table in the kitchen with the aunts who came to help.
As soon as the two entered, they saw a lot of semi-finished food on the table and the stove, and there was even half a pot of sweet soup in the pot.
"Come in quickly, I'll serve you another bowl of sweet soup!"
Zhan Ying greeted them and asked Zhan Jin to call others.
Children can understand children better. In the past, there was not enough sweet soup, so Zhan Ying and his friends, as the host family, specifically asked their parents to ask the chef to make more so that their good friends could have an extra bowl.
"Thank you, Sister Zhan Ying!"
The brother and sister were very happy to see this, and after drinking a bowl of sweet soup, they were both satisfied and content.
After the sweet soup is drunk and the banquet is over, the gift money has been paid and the wedding event is considered over.
After the lively wedding, every household will start buying New Year’s goods to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
But the Leng family has one more thing than others, because they also have to distribute New Year's goods to the workers.
Lengji Fresh Lao and Lengji Snack Shop in the town, Lingji Canteen in Taojing Village, the soap factory and cassava vermicelli workshop in the village, and even the Zhao family of Xianju Pavilion and Shen Fuqing of Fulin Pavilion, who were cooperating with the company, all sent out New Year gifts one by one.
It took three or four days just to prepare and distribute the New Year gifts.
The Zhao family and Shen Fuqing's gifts are another matter. As for the workers' holiday gifts alone, the Leng family distributed three pounds of pork, one pound of brown sugar, and two boxes of the town's famous cakes.
After distributing the New Year gifts to the workers one by one, they received endless thanks from the crowd.
You know, many families don’t get as much New Year gifts as the Leng family.
Especially Yu Min and his group of children, each of them received their own New Year gifts, and they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
"This, this... is this really for us? So much candy, so much meat, so many cakes?"
Several people usually felt that working in the Leng family every day, eating well, dressing well, and getting a high salary every month was like a dream. Now it was like a big surprise falling into their dream.
"of course it's true!"
Leng Yan said as she worked, "You can keep the brown sugar and cakes and eat them slowly. If the pork is not cooked well, you can give it to Aunt Lu and the others. Anyway, you will all be together for the New Year, so make more delicious food for the New Year's Eve dinner."
"I have also set the closing time for our shop, from the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month to the 10th day of the first lunar month. When you are free, you can go out for a walk and have a good rest."
Leng Yan smiled and took another look at Yu Min and the others, who had grown taller and fatter recently and looked clean and tidy. She felt very relieved that they were finally not as skinny as they were when they were little beggars.
