It was Lin Mo's first time to come to Tang Le's house, and also the first time to see his young twin sons.
The two children were obviously afraid of strangers. Their first reaction when they saw Lin Mo was to hide behind Lin Sheng, looking at him with a mixture of curiosity and fear.
Lin Sheng gently patted the two children's backs to comfort them, and said to Lin Mo, "These are Brother Le's two children, Xiaolu and Youyou."
Lin Mo nodded. Seeing that the two children were afraid of him, he didn't say hello, but just smiled gently at them.
Although these two children are twins, they are easy to tell apart because of their different weights. The older one is round and cute, while the younger one is thin and handsome. Perhaps because they don't go out often, both children are fairer and tenderer than ordinary farm children.
"Brother Le, we'll go back first. It's not early yet, you should go to bed early." Lin Sheng said a few polite words and followed Lin Mo home.
He held the jade pendant given by Tang Le in his hand, feeling complicated, but since Lin Mo was here, he couldn't say anything.
Tang Le opened his mouth and looked at Lin Sheng deeply. In the end, he could only lead the two children and watch them leave at the door.
On the way back, Lin Mo wanted to ask several times, but didn't know how to start.
The current situation is that Tang Le does like his elder brother, but Lin Mo can't tell whether his elder brother likes Tang Le or not.
He could only wait and see. He also wanted to take advantage of this time to observe Tang Le. If Lin Sheng had such thoughts, he would definitely come forward.
In the next few days, Lin Mo was busy with the work of raising the beams of the new house. According to the village chief, he set up a few tables and invited some elders from the village to take charge.
On the contrary, Lin Mo specially arranged the wine in advance. The autumn harvest was about to begin, and the villagers were busy with the harvest. If he held a banquet, he would easily be criticized by the villagers.
After agreeing on a time with the village chief and Uncle Lin, Lin Mo began to arrange for the wine to be brought into the house.
They were driven out of the Lin family's old house and had few relatives. The only people invited into the house for the banquet were villagers. Maolin Village had hundreds of households and was not a small village.
Lin Mo wanted to establish a foothold in the village and earn face for the Lin brothers. It might sound vulgar, but it was the best way to slap the Lin family's old house and the Su family in the face.
Not only did Lin Mo prepare wine inside the house, he also planned to invite the entire village to a grand banquet when he married Su Mu. Not only the villagers, he wished that people from other villages would come together to witness his and Su Mu's wedding.
"Let's hold a banquet. I guess all the villagers will come to the banquet. There will probably be thousands of people." Lin Sheng frowned and calculated in his mind.
In the village, it is believed that the family should not be divided while the parents are still alive. Many families have several generations living together. In addition, there is no restriction on childbirth, so it is normal for a family to have more than a dozen people. For the villagers, having a banquet is as exciting as the Chinese New Year. At that time, at least a hundred tables will be prepared for the banquet.
Lin Mo nodded and said, "Don't worry, big brother. Xiao Wu and I have discussed with the village chief and second uncle that the banquet will be held in the village threshing ground. When the time comes, Lu Amo will lead the women in the village to cook, and Lao Gu will lead the young men in the village to set the table. Xiao Wu will go shopping for groceries, and you will be responsible for entertaining the guests."
The buffet in this world is simpler than Lin Mo imagined. Basically, all you need to do is provide someone from your family and prepare the money.
The villagers are united. If someone has problems, basically everyone helps each other out, especially when organizing a banquet, everyone is happy to help.
As for the dishes, Lin Mo listed them separately. The banquets in the village were generally similar to big pot dishes, usually with two large pots of one meat and one vegetable on each table. Few people were willing to cook fancy dishes. After all, there were more poor people these days.
Lin Mo thought, since we have to hold a banquet to prove that the family is different from before, we might as well hold a better banquet. According to his understanding of the banquet, he made a list for Lin Wu.
He took the young men in the village to the town to purchase groceries. The staple food was still brown rice and steamed corn bread, which were readily available in the village and could be purchased directly in the village.
As for the dishes, there are six dishes and one soup. In addition to the common tofu stewed with pork and cabbage fried with oil residue, there are also pickled fish, spicy pork slices, braised meat stew, spicy fried chicken nuggets, and the soup is pork ribs stewed with radish.
These dishes are common, both refreshing and spicy, and are delicious and suitable for people of all ages. Although the preparation is simple, they are already quite rich for the villagers of Maolin Village.
On the day of the banquet, all preparations were made in the threshing ground early, and the tables, chairs and benches had been neatly arranged. Since the threshing ground in the village could not accommodate them, they were placed at the market at the entrance of the village. It was a buffet, with one round of food being eaten and then the next.
Because the housewarming party was held in advance and the new house had not yet been completed, many villagers who wanted to see the new house could only gather outside. They marveled at the size and luxury of the Lin family's new house, while praising how rich and satisfying today's banquet was.
The main story of "Entering the House" is about moving into a new house. When the banquet was in full swing, Lin Sheng brought his family into the new house, and many familiar villagers came to visit one after another.
Lin Mo didn't understand the process of entering the house and drinking in this world, so he followed Lin Sheng and watched Lin Sheng exchange pleasantries with those people.
Because the new house was not yet completely finished, not many people came in to visit, but everyone was holding something in their hands, and every time someone came in, they were full of auspicious words and blessings.
Lin Sheng and Su Mu will also distribute the dumplings prepared in advance to everyone, which means "reunion".
Finally at noon, Lin Mo was assigned a task, which was to distribute "lucky money", which were copper coins tied with red ropes, which meant "happy promotion".
The red lacquered winnowing basket was already filled with wedding candies and cakes, mixed with lucky money. This was the last step in the process of bringing wine into the house in this world, which was to distribute the lucky money.
