Tai Jizu led people to sell three big fat pigs, four sheep, chickens, ducks and fish in baskets and buckets.
He Shan personally led people into the mountains and brought back a red deer, seven or eight flying dragons, and more than twenty rabbits, adding a few more delicacies to the banquet.
For this purpose, Mr. Tai went to find Manager Min in person, firstly to invite him to attend the wedding banquet that day, and secondly to ask him to help find a good cook to work for a day.
Liu Dongniang has a talent for cooking and is very attentive, but she comes from a farming family and has never learned any special skills, let alone seen many good ingredients.
Deer meat is tender and flying dragon meat is even rarer. It would be a waste of such a good thing if it is not cooked well.
Of course, Manager Min agreed without hesitation and also booked all the snacks and cakes that the Tai family would use to open the ancestral hall and offer to their ancestors that day.
Mr. Tai was not polite either. He just told him not to bring any other gifts. If the family was too polite, it would not be friendly!
Turning around, Mr. Tai went to invite Banxianer again.
Banxian'er was so happy that he kept shouting, "I was thinking your family would be pregnant soon. Haha, I didn't expect it to be Wenquxing! I must drink this wedding wine! It's been so long since we in Tai'an have such a talented person!"
Old Master Tai also smiled widely and replied, "I've already spoken to Manager Min. He'll come pick you up and take you to the village. Don't run around, or he won't be able to find you and miss the wedding."
"Don't worry!" After Banxian chased Old Man Tai away, he fumbled to close his stall and went to the cloth shop to buy a new set of clothes, trying to dress more like an immortal and a hermit.
In fact, even though everyone usually says he has some abilities, people are still willing to spend a few cents to ask him to help them solve any problems, big or small.
In fact, he knew that everyone was only showing affection to him superficially, and no one really respected him. Some people even said behind his back that he had done too many bad things and that was why he was blind.
Only the Tai family. When the fat girl was kidnapped, he just gave a few instructions, but Grandpa Tai always treated him as an old friend, and the children and grandchildren of the Tai family respected and cared for him as an elder.
This was the first time he had met such a simple and kind family, and he was lucky enough to meet them.
Now that the Tai family's grandson had made it big, he was genuinely happy. Even if he couldn't help, at least he couldn't bring shame to the Tai family and cause outsiders to criticize them for letting a blind beggar sit at their banquet...
Amidst the hustle and bustle, the happy day finally arrived.
Before daybreak, the gate of the ancestral hall was opened.
All the men in the village, young and old, were going in and out like busy little ants, sweeping and dusting, sprinkling water and wiping, setting the altar, burning paper and sending money and food.
No one dared to shout loudly, but everyone had a smile on their face.
Speaking of which, the ancestors of the Tai family have been disturbed quite a lot recently.
I have eliminated the bad apples in the clan, included the boys in the family tree, repaired the ancestral hall, and now my descendants have passed the imperial examinations. I have been doing this four or five times.
But the ancestors cannot speak, otherwise they will definitely jump up and down and tell their children and grandchildren that it doesn’t matter if the door of the ancestral hall cannot be closed, as long as the clan is thriving!
The villagers from Zhangjia Village and Liujia Village lived close to each other, so they just walked a few steps to watch the fun.
At this moment, they were standing far away outside the ancestral hall, their faces full of envy.
They are all peasants and fellow villagers who have difficulty in getting enough food to eat, so how come the Tai family suddenly became rich?
They can't even tell when it started.
No one feels comfortable when you suddenly become rich after agreeing to be poor together.
But as for how they could stir up trouble and pull the Tai family off the road to prosperity, they didn't have the guts to do so.
Therefore, the awkward feeling in my heart that I couldn't express turned into appetite.
Each of them brought a basket of vegetables grown at home, and with their stomachs empty from last night, they prepared to fill them with the Tai family's fine wine and delicious food!
The Tai family did not disappoint them. In the straw shed at the entrance of the village, the pigs and sheep that had been slaughtered in the middle of the night had been cut up and put into the pot one after another. A faint aroma wafted out, making everyone's stomachs growl!
Soon, Manager Min arrived with Banxianer.
The hired chef entered the kitchen, and boxes of exquisite snacks were brought into the ancestral hall.
The half-immortal wore a new navy blue robe and a new poplar hairpin on his head. Even his white beard was neatly trimmed, giving him a somewhat immortal look.
He calculated it himself and decided that two quarters of an hour later would be the best auspicious time for the sacrifice.
Everyone in the Tai family quickly stepped up their preparations. When the auspicious time arrived, everyone knelt down together. Yongning naturally knelt at the front, only one step away from Master Tai San.
Uncle Tai San loudly reported the good news to his ancestors, and even shed tears at the end. He was happy for the prosperity of his family, but felt sorry for those clansmen who died of cold and hunger and did not live to see this day!
Tai Yongning comforted his third grandfather and solemnly promised the ancestors that he would study harder and do his best to help the Tai family prosper. He also prayed to the ancestors to bless the whole family with peace, health, and success!
All the clan members were so excited when they heard this that they stared at Tai Yongning's back as if they saw the backbone of the Tai family!
Life is unpredictable. Who would have thought that the boy who everyone thought would be disabled would grow up to be what he is now without anyone noticing...
Soon, the sacrifice was completed. Leaving the villagers busy with the cleanup, Old Master Tai and Third Master Tai went to welcome the guests.
At this time, the sun was high in the sky and carriages arrived one after another.
The first to arrive was Mrs. Min with her daughter. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Steward Min waiting with a bow. She was not surprised, but just said, "You're here early!"
Steward Min quickly bowed and replied, "Madam, the snacks used for the Tai family's sacrifice are from our shop. I personally delivered them, so I arrived half an hour early."
Madam Min nodded. She knew best that the housekeeper had good relations with the Tai family. Even her interactions with Yang Lihua were facilitated by the housekeeper.
At this moment, Yang Lihua also came out with Zhuzhu.
Zhuzhu jumped up and hugged Miss Min, saying, "Sister, Zhuzhu missed you! Did you miss Zhuzhu?"
Miss Min was usually taught to be chaste and polite, so she blushed when she suddenly received such a warm hug. She responded, "Sister Zhuzhu, I brought you something delicious!"
Zhuzhu clapped her hands happily, "That's great, I also left a lot of fun things for little sister, all brought back from the grassland by my uncle and brother. Let's go play!"
After saying this, the two little sisters walked into the yard hand in hand, forgetting even their mother.
Mrs. Min was so amused that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly asked the maids and servants who served her daughter to follow.
Yang Lihua was also amused and apologized to Madam Min, "Zhuzhu is still young and was looking forward to Miss Min coming to play. Today, when she saw someone, she forgot all the rules."
Madam Min quickly responded, "My girl is the same. When I heard that we were going to bring her here to play, I asked the cook to test the dim sum last night."
The two mothers felt closer because their daughters played well together, and they also walked into the yard hand in hand.
The second people to arrive were Song Hui and his father. Old Master Tai brought Yongning to greet them. They greeted each other and were talking in a lively manner when Qi Ming and his father also arrived.
