After a few days of running water, I had to buy fresh ingredients every day. Brother Monkey said: "There is no need to buy any more pork, beef, and mutton. I will process some of it here every day and use it."

The Wusheng Banquet is more important than the wedding banquet. At the wedding banquet, the guests must be given a gift in return, usually snacks and candies. Xiaojiu thought, should we also give a gift in return for our flowing banquet?

This thing is easy to handle, and there is no need to buy anything. Qi Xun said: "Tonight, my third sister, second brother, and I will make snacks and candies for three consecutive nights. We will make eight kinds of snacks and save them in a box. They are better than those bought outside."

Brother Monkey said: "Okay, let's start after dinner."

Qi Xun thought for a while and ordered eight kinds of gifts, four kinds of candies and four kinds of snacks, but it was troublesome to pack them into boxes and the quantities needed were large, so they didn't have them at the moment.

Brother Monkey said: "Put the box in the box and leave it to me."

It's not like refining weapons, just packing them into boxes, as long as there is wood, he plucks a few hairs and blows on them, and it's human hands.

Qixun thought it would be quite painful to pull out the hair: "Just use a talisman, it will be fine if you deal with the wood."

Brother Monkey thinks this is okay. He can cut the wood into sections and do some rough machining, and then the talisman can do the fine work himself.

But the wooden box is not beautiful if it is bare, so just outline a few flowers on it to create a festive look.

It was settled that the matter of painting on the wooden box would be left to the eldest cousin, Lingyu and Xiaojiu. They are all scholars and are good at this.

As for Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, these two boys haven't slept for two days and one night, and they can't stay up any longer.

After dinner, the brothers and sisters took Lingzhou and Xiaojiu back home. There was no idle time at the old house. The women who helped in the village were preparing the ingredients for the next day's flowing banquet.

Under the pergola of Lingxiao Flower, there were all the children playing there, and the whole village was filled with lively laughter.

Among the smaller ones, the little white tiger stayed at the old house to play with Big Dog Daner because of Big Dog Dan'er's warm invitation, while the other few came back.

This time, Babai was assigned a job to help Lingzhou, Lingyu and Xiaojiu paint.

Because they had said hello in advance, when they went home, a lot of dried wood happened to be delivered from the workshop, and it was delivered by Brother Ling Feng himself. The brothers and sisters gossiped again, Ling Feng wanted to stay and help.

After being declined by the brothers and sisters, Ling Feng was sent away, and they went to Brother Monkey's former workshop and started working.

Because I was busy returning gifts, I didn't go to the secret place in the valley that night. Otherwise, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba might not be able to sleep peacefully.

Among the four kinds of candies, Qixun settled on toffee, orange candies, peanut brittle candies and nougat. Except for toffee, the others were not troublesome to make.

Desserts include macarons, gorgon cakes, cakes and milk puff pastry.

There were helpers on both occasions, so the work went quickly. After working all night, they made enough for four or five days. The brothers and sisters each took a seat to recover for a while, and then went to the old house in high spirits.

We still have to entertain guests today, especially Brother Monkey, the real master, who cannot be absent.

The old house has also become busy.

Even the clan heads of the two surnames and several clan elders have also arrived and are sitting in the main hall talking.

The brothers and sisters hurried over to greet him.

Brother Hou followed Lingzhou and Fusu there to talk to the elders. Qixun, Lingsu, and Lingyu were naturally going to help in the kitchen. They didn't do things themselves and just asked others to do the work. As a result, they were beaten by their aunts and uncles.

Rushed out.

"We have so many people, why do we need you little girls to do these rough jobs? Look at each one looking more delicate than the other, just like the fairy girls in the painting. These jobs are not done by you, and with the little ones.

Sisters, let’s play.”

The little sisters who were barely acquaintances with each other in the past are all married, but now the unmarried girls in their teens are not familiar with them either.

Nayan's Lingsu is a little bald, and Zhenlingyu is a little bald. After living a new life, except when he is in a daze, Qixun, who becomes a bit social at other times, is actually a little bald.

The three sisters who have lived two lifetimes are a bit confused about the topic that teenage girls like.

However, there were really not many little girls free to play at the moment. The three sisters hurriedly ran to find the eldest uncle and the third aunt, took out the gift boxes they had made at night, and found a place to pile them up. After the meal,

Yes, just at the other end of the pergola, take one person, give one and that's it.

Looking at the returned gift box, Mrs. Guo was very surprised: "Don't tell me, I really forgot about this before. How did you get such an exquisite gift box in just one night?"

The gift box is a round box with a diameter of about 40 centimeters and a height of about 10 centimeters. It is divided into eight compartments. Each compartment contains the same four snacks and four candies. It looks exquisite and beautiful.

Qixun then twisted a pink macaron biscuit made into a plum blossom shape and stuffed one piece for each of her eldest aunt and third aunt: "We made them all by ourselves, aunt and third aunt, how do you like it? We can

I've been busy all night. I think it will last for three to five days. I will make more in two days."

The two sisters tasted everything and couldn't help but nod: "It's not worse than the ones in your fifth aunt's snack shop, even better. Not to mention the appearance of these snacks and candies, it's just the taste, it's great to give them away."

It’s a very nice gift.”

In fact, there are no return gifts for banquets in the countryside, except for wedding banquets. That is to say, the wealthy families in the city are more particular about it, but they don't give such nice gifts.

But their family can still afford the money now.

The aunt asked: "How much did it cost? I'll make up for it later."

Since it is said that this expense comes from the government, there is no reason to let the children take the money themselves. They do not lack this money, it is something they do not lack.

Qixun smiled and said: "I didn't spend any money, except to get some wood from the guild uncle's house. But Brother Lingfeng said that this was given by the guild uncle and it was free of charge. The rest of the materials are all what we usually keep.

.”

Uncle Huitang's family has always been very close to my own family, so when I gave Uncle Huitang a souvenir yesterday, the gift was relatively heavy. And my family also plays a part in Uncle Huitang's family's business. Since I mentioned that the wood is not

The brothers and sisters didn't insist on collecting the money. The worst thing was that they could just send more game meat and nourishing medicinal materials to the uncle's family later to make up for it.

Human relations are nothing more than this.

After hearing this, the auntie said nothing more.

Seeing that the three of them had put away their things and stayed in the house, the eldest uncle and the third aunt both laughed: "I'm afraid you are not familiar with those little ladies in the village? But your fourth and fifth aunts should be back soon.

The little girl from my aunt's family is always smart, and she is getting along well with the other little girls in the village, ranging from 18 to 35 years old. Let her take you to play later."

Three sisters and one brother, let the younger sister, who is only seven or eight years old, play with her, is that right?

Lingyu pursed her lips and smiled: "I just realized that we actually have a sister. From now on, the jewelry we keep will finally have someone to give it to."

Lingyu suddenly felt that she had a place to be useful. Except for her second brother, her eldest brother and two sisters didn't like to dress up, so every time she came up with beautiful clothes and jewelry styles, she couldn't find any common ground.

people to share the joy.

My younger sister is always different from others. She is more enthusiastic when she dresses up.

"I don't know when the fourth and fifth aunts will arrive."

Yesterday, I asked someone from the village to go to the county town with a message. I think it should be soon. The aunt said: "If I miss your fourth and fifth aunts, I will go to the village to see you."

When the three sisters heard this, they hurriedly said: "Let's go now."

When we arrived at the village, we didn't wait for a long time before we saw several carriages approaching.
