Anning Village is much larger and richer than the upstream village.
There are many Ning families, but only one family dares to call itself the Ning family of Anning Village, and that is the wealthy Ning family of Anning Village.
As soon as Su Liuer entered the village, she deeply felt the tyrannical style of the head of the Ning family. The banquet was set up from the village entrance all the way to the Ning family's gate. There were many tables and chairs in the courtyard, and red silk, big red lanterns, and countless big red wedding characters were hung everywhere.
No wonder he didn't bother with her for that small discount. This little bit of herbal jelly was probably the least of the Ning family's expenses today.
It’s great to have money.
The whole village was happy about the wedding, and she, who was from another village, was also happy.
"Madam Su, would you like to serve out your fairy grass honey first? The bowls and spoons are all ready and in those two baskets." The steward who placed the order with Su Liuer was in charge of the food for today's banquet. When he saw Su Liuer coming, he took her to the kitchen.
The kitchen is very big, almost as big as Wang Po's house.
"Let's wait until the guests have almost finished eating before serving. It won't take up too much space now. Just let me know once you light an incense stick in advance." Although the kitchen is big, there are many people there. The dishes haven't been served yet, and everywhere needs to be used to put things. Three hundred bowls of grass jelly honey require quite a lot of space.
Fortunately, the Ning family kitchen is only responsible for the banquets in this courtyard. The buffet outside is cooked in other villagers' homes, otherwise this kitchen would be too small!
The steward thought Su Liuer was right, so he asked her and Wang Po to sit aside and rest. The old donkey-head and his son stayed outside guarding the donkey cart and did not come in.

The kitchen is in the backyard, but you can still hear the festive noise outside when the auspicious hour begins. The music is very festive, and it means the bride is going out.
"Miss Ning is so lucky. Her family is rich and she married a scholar. Maybe she can even become an official's wife and enjoy a good life in the future!" The cooks in the kitchen talked about it with envy in their eyes.
"Yeah, it's good to be rich. You can marry your daughter to whoever you want, tsk tsk."
"She's lucky enough to be reborn. Even if she looks like a monster, she won't have trouble finding a husband. Besides, Miss Ning is the most beautiful girl in the village. Her skin is so fair and tender, she looks so delicate."
Su Liuer and Wang Pozi sat on a small bench under a big tree outside the kitchen, listening to the gossip of these people.
This young lady of the Ning family is indeed lucky. She is the youngest child and the only daughter of the Ning family. The Ning family happened to start to prosper in the year she was born. She became the jewel in the crown of the head of the Ning family. It is said that it was her blessing that made the Ning family rich.
She is considered pampered in this village. She got married at the age of 18 this year because her family didn't want her to marry anyone casually. They carefully selected her current son-in-law, who is said to be a scholarly family in Shanghe County.
The festive sound of the suona faded away, and the bride-picking procession left the Ning family and Anning Village in a mighty manner.
The Ning family’s wedding banquet officially begins!
The people in the kitchen were getting busier and busier, with people coming and going to carry out dishes. Most of the dishes today were meat dishes, and it was obvious that they cost a lot of money. After all the dishes were served, Su Liuer and Wang Po were called to eat together.
After asking for advice, Su Liuer filled two large bowls of food and took them out to the old donkey man and his son who were waiting at the back door.
"This host is very generous and there is a lot of food. Don't worry, eat it. I will get the dishes later."
Old Donkey was very grateful. He and his son were completely in the dark outside and had no idea what was going on inside. If Su Liuer hadn't sent them the food, they wouldn't have known that the Ning family had made such an arrangement.
After Su Liuer finished her meal in the kitchen, she waited for the steward to come and ask her to serve the herbal jelly honey, but she waited and waited but no one showed up.
"Run! Bandits! The bandits are coming!"
