Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

The relationship between Deng Shirong's family is very simple and not complicated at all.

His mother was a common child bride during the Republic of China. She was brought back to be raised by his grandmother when she was still a baby.

Therefore, he has no relatives on his mother's side.

But in Deng Shirong's generation, only the third sister is the only relative left, and there are only slightly more relatives on his deceased wife's side.

There is no need to list these relatives, he can just name them casually.

As for the people in the village, they don't need to write invitations at all, they can just say hello from door to door. Deng Shirong mainly lists his friends in other villages.

People's living circles in this era were basically limited to Shangxia No. 23 Village. Even Deng Shirong, who was much more sociable than ordinary villagers, didn't have many friends in other villages, so it only took him less than an hour. I made a list of all the friends I could think of.

After going through it several times in his mind and confirming that everyone who should be invited was on the list, Deng Shirong rode his bicycle to the production team in Macun next door and asked Deng Yunsheng to help write the invitation.

Deng Yunsheng is over 50 years old. He is one of the few educated people in the Bangjie Brigade. He is good at handwriting. He is usually asked to help write posts for weddings. He is also asked to help with the Spring Festival couplets posted during the Chinese New Year. Write.

When Deng Shirong explained his intention, Deng Yunsheng agreed immediately.

After dealing with the invitations, Deng Shirong started busy with other things, such as making reservations for chickens and ducks with villagers.

Before, no one dared to raise more chickens and ducks. It was not until this summer that the brigade spread the news that they would divide the fields and work alone, and then some people gradually raised more chickens and ducks. However, the normal raising time of domestic chickens is different from that of later generations who pursue growth speed. Feeding chickens is completely different.

That kind of feed chicken can be sold in just one or two months.

Nowadays, chickens raised by rural people basically need to be raised for about ten months to a year.

Therefore, people who started to raise more chickens and ducks this summer have not yet sold the chickens and ducks. If Deng Shirong wants to buy more than ten or twenty chickens and ducks, he has to find at least a dozen companies to make reservations.

In addition to chickens and ducks, two pigs must be reserved.

The reason why there is so much is mainly because not only Deng Shirong's family has to serve wine, but the woman's family also has to serve wine. According to the current marriage rules, the food and drinks required for the wine at the woman's family need to be borne by the groom's family. On the first day of the wedding, the man will bring cakes, wine, rice, pork, chicken, duck and other food to the woman.

In fact, the amount of these things to be given must be agreed in advance through the matchmaker. If the man's family cannot buy so much pork, chickens, ducks, etc., they can also discuss converting these things into money and let the woman buy it by herself.

Nowadays, Deng Shirong is not only a matchmaker, but also the man's parent. There are many things that are difficult to discuss face to face.

However, the woman does not have to make any demands, but Deng Shirong knows the rules, so he naturally has to take the initiative to discuss it with the woman. No matter how many banquets the woman wants to host, they will provide enough food and drinks, and they must satisfy the woman.

It has to be said that whether you get married in this era or in future generations, it is a test for the parents of both men and women, because there are so many chores involved in hosting a wedding. After a wedding, there are many Both parents can lose a few pounds.

Fortunately, Deng Shirong has extremely rich experience in this area.

After all, he had organized weddings for his four sons in his previous life, and he was already very familiar with the various wedding procedures.

…

Deng Changfu's family.

Guan Yongying is making lunch.

In the realm of Shuangwang, the diet at this time is still white porridge in the morning and evening, and various grains at noon.

Families with better conditions would have plain porridge in the morning, cereals at noon, and dinner in the evening.

The habit of eating white porridge in the morning among Bobai people has remained unchanged to later generations.

The habit of eating cereals for lunch continued until the late 1990s.

The miscellaneous grains mentioned here generally refer to things such as sweet potatoes, cassava, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and taro.

The lunch that Guan Yongying is making now is the largest amount of sweet potatoes.

In the Shuangwang realm, sweet potatoes are generally cooked in the following ways:

First, steam it directly, peel it and eat it. This is also the most common way of eating it in this era.

Second, peel the sweet potatoes and use them to boil sweet potato syrup. This way of eating is too luxurious. After all, sugar in this era is still very expensive for rural people.

Third, wash the sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces, and dry them in the sun. When you want to eat them, grab a few handfuls and cook them. You can add sugar or salt. If possible, adding sugar will naturally give the best taste.

Fourth, braised sweet potatoes in oil is to peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into pieces, stir-fry them in oil, add an appropriate amount of salt and water, and if possible, add an appropriate amount of sugar to enhance the flavor, then simmer the sweet potatoes over low heat while also draining the juice. Harvest them dry. The sweet potatoes made in this way are very sweet and delicious.

What Guan Yongying is making now is the fourth type - braised sweet potatoes.

If it were normal times, Guan Yongying would naturally not go to such trouble and just steam it and eat it. But now not only her husband, but also her parents-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and relatives are working hard to cultivate orchards on the mountains. Naturally, she has to Give them something oily and watery to eat.

Originally, if possible, they should cook and eat. After all, in addition to their family, there are also relatives helping!

But now she has a baby in her belly, and the fetus is not stable in the first three months of pregnancy. This is why her family kept the news secret. Her husband and parents-in-law didn't want her to do too much, so they asked her to stay home at noon. Just steam a sweet potato and wait for her mother-in-law to come back in the afternoon to make dinner.

However, Guan Yongying has been working since she was a child. Making braised sweet potatoes is not a difficult task for her, and she doesn't find it hard, so she decided to do it.

Soon, the aroma of sweet potatoes came from the tightly covered pot. Guan Yongying listened carefully to the sound and knew that it was almost done, so he put out the fire in the stove without opening the lid of the pot, so he just closed it. Use the residual heat to continue simmering the sweet potatoes. This is also to keep the sweet potatoes warm and prevent them from cooling too quickly.

Stewed sweet potatoes are more delicious when eaten hot.

More than ten minutes later, Guan Yongying's sister-in-law Deng Changjuan came back sweating profusely and asked: "Sister-in-law, have you steamed the sweet potatoes?"

Guan Yongying said: "I'm cooking sweet potatoes stewed in oil. They're still in the pot to keep them warm. I'll give you a bowl first. You can eat them quickly before taking them to your parents."

Because they had to seize the time to cultivate the orchard, Deng Changfu and the others did not come back for dinner at noon, so as not to waste time on the road, they could just send them to the mountains to eat. It was just sweet potatoes anyway, and there was no need to choose a place to eat them.

Deng Changjuan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She originally thought that she would eat steamed sweet potatoes for lunch, but she didn't expect that her sister-in-law would cook braised sweet potatoes in oil. It was such an unexpected surprise. She immediately said, "Sister-in-law, please sit down and rest. I can do it myself!"

After saying that, she washed her hands and took a large bowl to the stove.

When she opened the lid of the pot, a thick steam suddenly rose up, and the sweet potato aroma mixed with oil went straight into her nostrils.

It is easy to get hungry when doing physical work, and the white porridge she ate in the morning made her hungry even faster. When she smelled this fragrance, Deng Changjuan could not hold back, picked up the spatula, shoveled a bowl for herself, and then I couldn't wait to eat it.

"Mmm, it's so delicious!"

Deng Changjuan ate three pieces of sweet potato in a row before groaning with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, I'll help you fill a bowl."

Guan Yongying said with a smile: "I can do it myself. I will put the sweet potatoes in a basin and cover it with a vegetable basket. When you finish eating, you can take it to your parents to eat."

Deng Changjuan nodded in agreement and continued to eat her fragrant bowl of braised sweet potatoes.
