    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing is an auspicious day for the zodiac.

    ? Although it is still early before the Chinese New Year, the city of Shaoxing is full of lights and festoons, which is no less lively than the New Year's Eve.

    But unlike the public festivals like Chinese New Year, today the whole city is mobilized, just for one person¡¯s wedding¡ªthe pride of the elders in Shaoxing, the current Suzhou Tongzhi and Jiangnan City Ship Lifting Secretary Tiju, who has never been hit by six yuan before, is silent  Humble words, I want to win the eldest lady of the Yin family as my wife today!

    Moreover, the emperor bestowed a false marriage!  It has been more than 170 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and this is the second time!  In the eyes of Shaoxing elders, all Shaoxing people are honored!  They are also willing to personally participate in this grand wedding that is destined to be written into history!

    ?Since the emperor gave the marriage leave, Shaoxing Mansion and the two subordinate counties had to mobilize together, and started preparations a few days ago.  Some people want to ask, isn't it just a marriage, why do you want to mobilize people so much?  Because there are too many people who came to congratulate

    First of all, on the official side, officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, from Governor Hu Zongxian and Zhejiang Governor Ruan E, came to 21 prefects, and as for the county magistrate, there were more than 150 people.  In addition, there are more than 20 military generals headed by Yu Dayou and Lu Tong, and more than 30 eunuchs headed by Huang Jin who guard, weave, guard, monitor, purchase, grain tax, and mine tax.  And his entourage reached two or three thousand people.

    But that's not the big head, there are also big squires from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and even those from Fujian, Shanxi, and Shandong who came to congratulate them. There are more than 500 households plus their entourage, there are 4,000 to 5,000 people.

    The most outrageous thing is that there are even more than a dozen blond and blue-eyed Westerners who came out of nowhere.  But their purpose is obvious, they are all in the name of silence, the city's chief executive officer.

    Finally, if you add relatives, friends, and celebrities from the province, you need a thousand tables and a fraction!

    To hold such a big banquet, a restaurant must be invited to arrange it.  For hotels in Shaoxing City, buying and selling is a good business, but when the mansion told the owners of the hotels about it, everyone just looked at me and I looked at you, staring at each other, and no one would agree.  Don't dare to continue A banquet of hundreds of tables is already the limit that can be accommodated. Now that the number of tables has increased tenfold, and there are so many dignitaries, who can afford it?  Its difficulty is not only increased by a hundred times?

    But this is not a request, but an order, you have to do what you want, even if it is irrelevant!

    There was no way, the bosses of more than a dozen big restaurants joined forces to take over the job, and promoted a boss named Chai Shouli to be the boss, responsible for organizing and scheduling in the middle.

    First of all, there is the issue of the venue. There are more than 1,000 tables of banquets, which no one can handle, so we had to temporarily clear the square in front of the Town God's Temple, and set up banquets there

    There is also a problem with tables and chairs. Even if all the hotels in Shaoxing City are evacuated, there are only seven or eight hundred sets of tables and chairs.  It was easy to collect more than a thousand copies.

    After preparing the tableware and cups for serving dishes and the spatula for cooking, I found that there are too few cooks.  We had to hire more than 100 cooks from the four neighboring prefectures, and more than 1,000 assistant cooks, which solved the manpower problem.

    As for the ingredients boatloads of pigs, sheep, and vegetables sailed from all over the province to the wharf in front of the Town God's Temple, where they were unloaded, processed on the spot, and prepared as raw materials for various dishes for use on that day.

    Fortunately, it is not summer.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    ? On the morning of the seventh day of the lunar new year, the pier was bustling with activity and turned into a huge open-air kitchen.

    Since the morning, the guests have arrived one after another. It¡¯s still early for dinner, and the guests can¡¯t be kept waiting, so I invited a famous opera troupe from Kunshan to wait for a little more guests, and then began to sing operas.  , to relieve the boredom of the guests who came first.

    Around noon, the big shots arrived one after another. When the new governor of Southeast China, Hu Zongxian, the new governor of Zhejiang, Ruan E, the chief envoy, the procurator, and all the prefects appeared, after nearly ten thousand people on the field greeted each other, the adults  just sit down.  The magistrate of Kuaiji, who was wearing a brand-new ceremonial robe, shouted loudly: "Open the banquet!"

    The guys who helped the kitchen carried long boxes one by one, and delivered plates of cold spells to the banquet, but these things were mainly for good looks Although the sun is shining brightly today, although Shaoxing's winter is not too cold,  But it is the twelfth lunar month after all, and no one wants to eat a cold stomach, and they all hope that the hot dishes will be served quickly.

    In fact, as soon as the "seat is open" was called out, the cooks who had been waiting there for a long time, like soldiers who had received the order, immediately began to crackle the food into the pot, frying, frying, frying, boiling, stewing, and turning.?Then share a bunch with Ruohan.  At this time, Yin Zan said: "Kneel, offer incense!"

    The two of them knelt down to the tablet of their ancestors, kowtowed following Tongzan's order, kowtowed again, kowtowed three times, and worshiped the ancestors of heaven and earth.

    "Two salutes to the high hall!" Tong praised.

    The new couple kowtowed three heads to Shen He who was sitting on the front seat and couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear. Shen He's tears flowed down without hope, and they couldn't wipe them off.

    "Husband and wife bow to each other!" Shen Mo and Ruohan kowtowed to each other three times again!  Since then, three lives have been destined!

    "After the ceremony, send it to the bridal chamber!" Accompanied by this fairy voice, the tedious worship ceremony was finally completed.  The two bridesmaids hold dragon and phoenix candles in front of the line, and the bridegroom leads the bride into the bridal chamber with a ribbon of colored balls.  On the red carpet on the ground, there were five sacks, and the bride and groom had to walk on the sacks.

    After stepping on one, the bridesmaids of the man's family will pass it on to the front and follow the road. This is the legendary "passing on from generation to generation"!  It also means "five generations meet".

    After sending Ruohan into the bridal chamber, Shen Mo just sat down for a while, and was kicked out by a group of women. He had to toast to his relatives and friends outside Those guests basically dispersed at noon, and only those who were particularly close would stay.  Take this seat.

    So those who stay in the house now are considered close relatives Hu Zongxian insisted on not leaving, Tang Shunzhi was also there, Master Shen, the eldest son, Shen Jing who appeared with Hu Zongxian, and Shen Xiang who represented Shen Lian  , It can be seen that it does not matter whether it is superior or inferior, it only depends on closeness.

    Everyone knew that he couldn't drink alcohol, and didn't want to disturb the silent bridal chamber wedding night, so they toasted him and let him go to the bridal chamber¡ª¡ª
