Chapter 467 Group Wedding

Except for Jiang Xiangbei who stayed in Beijing to look after the hot pot shop, the rest of the family was there.

Jiang Yu's makeup was smudged from crying, Jiang Shui and Guan Li wiped away tears from time to time. Shen Qing was fine, she didn't feel too sad - firstly, she got married recently, and secondly, after the marriage, not only Jiang Yu, but also Lei Dafu continued to go to the capital to help with work, and they were all still together, so she really couldn't feel sad.

She looked at Jiang Shui, who was crying with tears in her eyes, and suddenly said, "Xiao Shui, you should find a husband in the future."

It is really sad to marry someone far away, but it is a happy event to bring him back and have a child.

Jiang Shui opened his tear-filled eyes and let out a blank cry.

My mother already has five sons, and you still want her to find a husband? In the past, I was afraid that she would marry and take her dowry to someone else's family. Now if I keep her at home, aren't you afraid that she will take over her brothers' property?

"I've thought about it. I'll give you one of these workshops. You'll get what your brothers have. It might not be very evenly distributed, but it should be about the same.

And this land is big, I can build you a few new houses, and you can make money nearby, what do you think?" Shen Qing said his thoughts happily.

Jiang Shui's tears fell even more violently.

She knew that her mother was different. She had a share of food, wages, and easy work...something that was even better than what her brothers had. But how could that compare to the family fortune?

I never thought that even the workshop girl who made so much money would think of giving her one!

She choked up and said, "Mother, I, mother, you have given me a lot of silver. It is enough for me to live on. You don't need to give me anything else."

Shen Qing handed over the handkerchief and said with a smile, "Silly child, how can you complain about having too much money? Besides, you already have a share of this."

During this period, she and the second and fourth sons were in Beijing. The third son often went out to deliver goods, and the sixth son had to teach and take care of the sweet potato planting. Xiaoshui was in charge of the family workshop.

Needless to say, it is very well managed!

The people working are not tired, the working hours have not increased, but the output is better. This is a manifestation of efficiency and also proves that Xiaoshui is a management talent!

Moreover, Xiaoshui is very clear about the procedures, so it is impossible to fool her. She originally wanted to give her a workshop to rely on, and now that it has been proved that she can manage it well, why not give it to her?

Only when the industry is handed over to the right people can it go further and better.

When Jiang Shui heard the words "there was originally a share for you", he was stunned, then hugged his mother tightly, unable to speak.

Growing up, as a daughter, there is no such thing as "originally". The chicken legs and even the chicken meat belong to her brothers and sisters. If she wants it, she is ignorant, greedy, and a glutton for food and a debt collector!

The older brothers and younger brothers are boys and need to grow, so it is natural that they should be given the property.

Everything good in the house belongs to them. She can't fight for it or grab it, and she can't even say anything about it. She even has to give up her share to get a word of praise.

But she just wants to fight and grab it!

After fighting for more than ten years and enduring countless scoldings and beatings, it turns out that she can get it without fighting or grabbing, and "it was originally hers". Who can understand her feelings at this moment?

"Mom, you are so nice, really."

I'm not the unfilial daughter, the money-loser, or the debt collector you claim I am. I'm your child just like my brothers and sisters. We are judged solely by our character and abilities. I don't get nothing just because I'm your daughter...

Shen Qing was hugged so tightly that she could hardly breathe, but she did not push away the river water that was like an octopus on her body.

This child is no longer as sharp-tongued and stubborn as before. Now he is much gentler, which is the best.

Those who are too rigid are easily broken, while those who are gentle are invincible.

Whether men or women, it is better to be good at going with the flow and being flexible than to be inflexible.

Shen Qing carried out the dowry that she prepared for Jiang Yu, one load at a time. The front load had reached the foot of the mountain, and the back load had just left the house.

There were nearly thirty couples in the village, including five couples from the three brothers of the Lei family and Lei Dafu, but all the children in the village gathered at Shen Qing's house.

It’s simple, they give the most candies and pastries!

Children don’t think in so many ways, and they don’t consider this or that. They just instinctively go where it’s best.

Shen Qing was extremely busy today. Not only was she seeing Jiang Yu off to get married, but she also had eight couples from her own family getting married and they all came to pay their respects to her.

After the newlyweds paid their respects to heaven and earth, everyone went to the school together to start the unique wedding banquet.

There aren't many rules in Hulu Village. The bride can come out and eat and drink together as soon as she takes off her veil - as Shen Qing said, rules are dead but people are alive, and there is no need to keep or follow unnecessary rules.

The school reserved a few tables for the newlyweds, and the others sat at other tables.

When everyone arrived at the school, they saw neatly arranged rows of tables, on which were placed small iron pots with two handles. The charcoal fire in the small red clay stove underneath was glowing red, and the milky white soup in the iron pots was bubbling happily.

There were plates of beef and mutton piled up next to it, the cold dishes looked refreshing and appetizing, and white flour buns bigger than fists filled the basket, steaming hot!

After waiting for the newlyweds to take their seats, Master Jiang announced, "Let's feast!"

Everyone couldn't wait to start eating.

Shen Qing had taught them before that the thin slices of beef and mutton should be picked up with chopsticks and moved back and forth in the broth in the pot until the meat changes color and curls up. It is done only when it is cooked for too long or the meat becomes tough, and it cannot be cooked for too short a time or they will not be used to it being raw.

Then you can eat it with sesame paste or chive sauce, but there is no rule. If they want, they can wrap it in steamed buns or mix it with cold vegetable soup. There is no need to force it, as everyone has different tastes. Just eat what you like.

However, the emperor's favorite foods are sesame paste and chive paste.

Thinking of this, the man who had originally broken open the steamed bun and was about to stuff the boiled beef and mutton into it to wrap his big mouth opened the work, fished out the beef and mutton, dipped some sesame paste in it, put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then praised: "Hmm, delicious!"

Then use the same method to dip it in chive sauce and give it a compliment.

Don’t say it, it tastes good, but it’s not as satisfying as eating meat and steamed buns in big mouthfuls. I feel like my stomach is still empty after eating for a long time.

Your Majesty, are you really full after eating like this?

Shen Qing listened to the discussion at the table and raised the corners of his mouth.

The emperor doesn't go to the fields to work, so he doesn't need a lot of calories and carbohydrates. Moreover, being an emperor requires a lot of mental effort, which greatly affects his appetite, so his appetite is naturally small.

In the end, even the soup in the cold dishes was scraped clean by the steamed buns, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

The wedding banquet lasts for a whole day, but the main meal is at noon, and the evening meal can be just a simple one - that's because life is better now, because in the past many families didn't even have a lunch.

The kitchen team had a little free time, some of them were washing dishes, and some were preparing dinner.

Shen Qing stayed and walked over to the woman who was preparing to eat to chat.

This group of women are the best cooks and have the most culinary talent in the entire village!
