The Local Lazy Man System

October 16, 2015 in the lunar calendar, is a good day for engagement and marriage, and today is also the day of Ye Honor’s engagement.

Ye Rongyao got up at five o'clock in the morning, drove the electric tricycle with Ye Tiancheng to the town to buy all the food he needed, and has been busy at the stove temporarily built in the backyard of Ye Tiancheng's house.

Of course, Ye Rongyao was not busy alone. Ye Tiancheng also invited two women from the village to help Ye Rongrong.

At ten o'clock, the man's relatives, Ye Tiancheng's relatives, as well as several close friends and classmates of Ye Honor had already arrived.

In the past, engagement in rural areas was very troublesome, and there were a lot of etiquette. To buy this, to buy that, to hire a matchmaker, and to set horoscopes and so on, it was very cumbersome anyway.

However, over the years, more and more people from rural areas have gone to work in cities, and many concepts in the countryside have begun to change, and they are not so cumbersome.

Roughly, choose an auspicious day to get engaged, buy a pair of engagement rings for the woman (rural people basically buy gold rings), give the woman’s family the pre-negotiated betrothal money, and the rest is to organize the engagement wine, which is much simpler than before.

"Brother Glory, why are you here?" A young man in his early twenties looked at Ye glory and asked in surprise.

"It's Rongsheng, and you are here for the honorary engagement."

Ye Rongrong smiled and said to the young man in front of him. This young man's name is Ye Rongsheng, who is five years younger than Ye Rongrong, but he doesn't live in the village anymore. Eight years ago, the whole family moved to the town. His parents opened a breakfast restaurant in the town. Good income.

"Honor and I are the best friends. By the way, Brother Honor, why are you here, aren't you a chef?" Ye Rongsheng looked at Ye Rongrong with some doubts and asked.

"Yes, why not?" Ye Rongrong said with a smile.

"No, Brother Honor, are you really a chef?"

Ye Rongsheng was very surprised. After all, what kind of person Ye Rongrong was in the past, who doesn't know in the village? He is a famous lazy person who knows nothing. How could he cook anything? How could the Honor family invite him to be a chef? The rhythm of the engagement feast was screwed up.

"Oh, yes."

Ye Rongsheng smiled and looked at Ye Rongsheng who was surprised.

"Brother Glory, I still have something ahead of me, so let's go first."

Ye Rongsheng said. Ye Rongsheng felt that he should tell Honor about this, so that Ye Rongsheng would not screw up the engagement banquet. If he made a dish that was hard to swallow, how could the engagement banquet go on?

"This baby is really, looking at you with an old eye." A middle-aged woman who started Ye Rongyao said with some grievances for Ye Rongyao.

"Aunt Liu, it's nothing, I'm used to it, who made my impression on everyone so bad." Ye Rongrong said with a smile.

...

At eleven o'clock, the woman's person came, and the two women who helped Ye Rongrong went out to see Ye Rongrong's girlfriend. Ye Rongrong was not interested in seeing Ye Rongguang's girlfriend. In Ye Rongyao's opinion, Ye Rongrong No matter how beautiful your girlfriend is, she will not be more beautiful than your own wife.

Now that he is married, he should pay attention to his image, not like those unmarried young men who are excited to join in the fun as soon as they hear that there is a beautiful woman.

"Glory, it's time to start, you've worked hard today." About half an hour later, Ye Tiancheng said to Ye Rongyao in the backyard.

"Uncle Cheng, don't be polite to me. You can accompany your in-laws and the kitchen. You can rest assured and leave it to me. There will be absolutely no problem." Ye Rongyao assured.

A total of five tables of banquets are prepared, with six cold dishes for each table. The cold dishes are already placed on the table before the guests come, and it is enough to attach the plastic wrap.

Now Ye Rongyao needs to make eight hot stir-fries and six large bowls, which is the standard of a traditional engagement banquet. This way, Ye Rongyao is very familiar now.

It's easy to cook.

Generally speaking, engagement banquets are divided into two types according to the number of cold and hot dishes. This one from Ye Tiancheng's family is considered high-end, and there is another low-end one, which consists of four cold dishes, six hot dishes and four large bowls.

But now the life of every household is much better than before. When no one gets married, they will put down their face and only make four cold dishes, which will make relatives and friends laugh for a lifetime.

The four bowls are all the same. There is a bowl of fish (now more fish dishes are used instead of large bowls), a bowl of braised pork (stewed pork belly), a bowl of chicken, and a bowl of spare ribs or meatballs.

Some wealthy people who want to save face will use more expensive beef instead of chicken and elbow instead of stew. Or add two more bowls to make six bowls, begging for auspiciousness, this kind of situation has gradually become popular in rural areas

The six cold dishes are cold jellyfish, crispy chicken, swimming crab, prawns, spicy snails, and bacon. They are all meat dishes and seafood, plus two plates of fruit, cherries and longan. What rural people pay attention to is a reality.

There are eight hot dishes, namely tea-flavored shrimp, sweet-scented osmanthus fish, West Lake soup, mushrooms and rapeseed, steamed scallops with vermicelli, Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, and another dish is sea cucumber with scallions.

The last six bowls are a bowl of stewed carp, a bowl of stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, a bowl of stewed elbows, a bowl of stewed pork ribs, a bowl of stewed meat and a bowl of meatballs.

The preliminary work has been done, and now all you need to do is to cook the dishes, so Ye Rongyao is very fast. Ye Tiancheng just returned to the front room, and Ye Rongyao cooks the first dish in the pot.

"Dad, I heard Rongsheng say, you asked Ye Rongrong to be the chef?" Ye Tiancheng had just returned to the front room, and Ye Rongrong quickly grabbed his father and whispered.

"Yeah, your dad finally invited him to be the chef." Ye Tiancheng nodded and said.

"Dad, are you confused? How can you find him to be the chef? He is the most famous slob in our village. What kind of cooking skills does he know?" Ye Honor said with a gloomy expression.

"I said, baby, you can't look at people with the old eyes, and the glory of others is a capable person now. His cooking skills are in the nearby ten miles and eight townships, which is unparalleled. If it weren't for us in the same village as him , I still can't invite him to be a chef." Ye Tiancheng said.

"Dad, aren't you joking, someone like Ye Rongrong is the best in cooking?" Ye Rongrong said with a look of disbelief.

"You little girl, after reading for a few years, you start to disbelieve your father's words. Today is the big day for your engagement. Your father is even more respectable than you. How can you be so ignorant? You can rest assured and take care of yourself Entertain your target's family." Ye Tiancheng said.

"dad……"

Ye Honor was still a little worried.

"You don't believe in your father, don't you believe in your mother? If Ye Rongrong didn't have that ability, would your mother agree? Just relax, your parents will fix these things, including your future daughter-in-law. face."

Ye Tiancheng patted his son on the shoulder and said. As a parent, you work hard all your life, not for your children. How can you not pay attention to your children's affairs?
