Chapter 113 Special Food
"Ah Hua, I have already told my father-in-law about you and A Yuan. He said that A Yuan's family is short of housing right now. If I match you up now, I'm afraid your parents will dislike A Yuan. It would be better to wait until A Yuan's family builds a new house before I match you up."
On the way home from the mountain, Zhang Xiuping talked to her little sister about her marriage problem: "Of course, my father-in-law also said that he would discuss this matter with Yuan's parents and try to build the house next year. It won't take too long, so you don't have to worry."
Ou Guohua said: "Sister Ping, look at what you said, how can I be anxious?"
Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry, I am the one who is worried for you."
Ou Guofang, who was walking on the left, interrupted and said, "Sister Ping, Ah Hua is really not in a hurry, but I am a little anxious. When I sent you off to get married that day, my parents mentioned that they wanted to find a husband for me. Although I have temporarily dispelled their thoughts, you have to act as soon as possible."
Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "I understand. When I get back, I'll tell my father-in-law and ask him to help find a suitable partner for you."
After talking about business, the three women started talking about some private topics.
The Ou sisters were very curious about the things between husband and wife, so naturally they wanted to ask the sisters who grew up with them.
…
In Bobai, the bride returns to her parents' home three days later and stays there for three days, then her family will make some food to send her back.
The word "籺" generally refers to hair籺 and rice籺.
It has to be said that Bobai people have done quite in-depth research on food.
Apart from other things, there are so many types of glutinous rice dumplings that it is staggering. There are Po Shui Guai, Fa Zhuan, Fan Xin Zhuan, Hui Shui Zhuan (Ciba), Tian Zhuan (also known as Da Zhuan), You Ma Tang Zhuan, Gu Zong Zhuan (Zongzi), Gai Zhuan (cooked in a winnowing basket), Xia Gong Zhuan, He Xian Zhuan, You Gu Zhuan, Ji Wo Zhuan and so on, each of which is very distinctive.
Moreover, the uses of these rice dumplings are also very particular. For example, the fa rice dumpling, as the name suggests, is indispensable to most happy events and is also the most common rice dumpling given when visiting relatives.
Especially for women who are getting married this year, this hair bun is an indispensable item when they bring their new son-in-law back home on the second day of the Chinese New Year next year.
Poshuiguai is a must-have snack for the winter solstice and the birthday of Guanyin.
Gray water rice dumplings and sweet rice dumplings are must-have rice dumplings for the Chinese New Year.
Zongzi (rice dumpling) is a must-have for the Dragon Boat Festival.
The others also have their own particularities.
Zhang Xiuping will be sent back tomorrow, so the Zhang family is busy preparing meals and cooking today.
…
The next day.
After breakfast, Zhang Xiuping returned to her husband's home escorted by her mother, uncle, aunt, brother and sister-in-law.
When they arrived at Longtan Street, brothers Zhang Shouguo and Zhang Shoumin went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to ask the leader, and the answer they got was that they could apply for a business license for individual industrial and commercial households.
After leaving the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and joining the main group, Zhang Shoumin said cheerfully without anyone asking, "The leader said that I can apply for a business license for an individual business owner. With this business license, I can operate legally and don't have to worry about anything else."
"Very good!"
Hearing this, Zhang's mother and her two daughters-in-law all showed surprise. They could obtain the certificates to operate legally, and they would not have to worry about accidents when opening a store and doing business. This was indeed good news for them.
Zhang Xiuping was also very happy to hear this. This proved that her father-in-law's vision was indeed extraordinary, and the paths he pointed out for her two brothers were all practical.
At this time, Fourth Uncle Zhang Zhenfei and Man's Uncle Zhang Zhenyu both knew that brothers Zhang Shouguo and Zhang Shoumin were planning to open a store and do business. They actually did not agree with this. In their opinion, it would be safest for their two nephews to work in a tile factory and earn a few dozen yuan a month.
Opening a store and doing business, who knows whether you will make a profit or a loss? It is really too risky.
However, when they heard that this was a suggestion from their niece Zhang Xiuping, although they were not optimistic, they did not say much.
However, Fourth Aunt Zhang and Little Aunt Zhang were somewhat interested in their two nephews opening a shop and doing business, so they asked about it in detail.
…
After walking for more than three hours, the group finally arrived at the entrance of Naye Village.
It was the first time for both Zhang Zhenfei and Zhang Zhenyu to come here, but they had heard about their nephew's husband's family for a long time. Their wives had come here twice and kept praising them in front of them after returning. They were almost getting calluses from hearing so much.
Now, they are finally going to see it with their own eyes, and both Zhang Zhenfei and Zhang Zhenyu are looking forward to it.
Soon, the group arrived at the riverside. Looking to the right from this position, they could see a row of majestic blue brick and tile houses.
At this moment, Zhang Zhenfei and Zhang Zhenyu couldn't help but marvel in their hearts. No wonder their wife kept praising her after she came back. She was indeed so elegant and beautiful! ...
It had only been three days since his wedding, and he had been separated from his wife for three whole days. Deng Yuntai had been missing his wife terribly. Knowing that his wife would be back today, he ran to the village entrance several times, hoping to see his wife as soon as possible.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Now, finally seeing his beautiful wife again, Deng Yuntai could hardly take his eyes off her.
Zhang Xiuping also missed her husband. When she saw the fiery look in her husband's eyes, she immediately understood what he meant. She gave him a coquettish look and then introduced him: "Brother Tai, let me introduce you. This is my fourth uncle, and this is Uncle Man."
Following his wife's introduction, Deng Yuntai also greeted, "Fourth Uncle! Uncle Man!"
At the same time, greet each other one by one.
Then, Deng Shirong also came out of the kitchen. After exchanging some pleasantries, Deng Shirong said, "Mother-in-law, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, Uncle Man, have a cup of tea first. I have a few dishes here. Once they are cooked, we can start eating!"
"Thank you for your hard work, in-laws!"
“It’s not hard!”
Seeing Deng Shirong busying himself in the kitchen again, Zhang Zhenfei looked at his niece and said, "Xiuping, take us on a tour!"
Zhang Xiuping nodded and said to her husband, "Brother Tai, you greet Mom and Aunt Man, and I'll show Uncle Man around."
After Deng Yuntai responded, Zhang Xiuping took her two uncles to visit each house.
In fact, Zhang Zhenfei and Zhang Zhenyu had heard their wives talk about what the house looked like many times, and they had already known what it looked like inside. But when they saw it with their own eyes, they still showed expressions of amazement and yearning. They really dreamed of owning such a clean and beautiful house.
After the visit, Zhang Zhenfei said with emotion: "Xiuping, if this happened in the past, you would have been a young lady!"
Zhang Zhenyu also said with emotion: "Xiu Ping, you are so lucky to be able to marry into such a family!"
Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "That's true. It's really my blessing to be able to marry here."
After visiting the house, it was time to eat. Zhang Zhenfei and Zhang Zhenyu were also looking forward to their niece's cooking skills. They wanted to know how delicious the food that their wives praised was! (End of this chapter)
