    Fan Qirong and Xu Manli had seen such joyful scenes since they were young. In addition, no one here cared about their identities, so they had no worries about the baptism. They laughed so hard that their flowers trembled.

    When the two newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, the young men and children followed the newlyweds into the bridal chamber. Fan Qirong and Xu Manli seemed to want to join in the fun, and Shen Yangmei grabbed them both.

    Are you kidding me?  Just now, several young disciples had "desire" eyes flashing in their eyes when they saw the two people who were much prettier than the bride. If the three of them were not standing relatively outside, they might have been attracted by those young disciples.  If you take advantage of the chaos and coerce you into the crowd of promiscuous brides, although you won't cause any big trouble by then, you will inevitably be taken advantage of by those young people who take advantage of it.  Shen Yangmei knew what kind of chaos the bridal chamber was in now. After all, he also grew up in the countryside. Wouldn't it be like "a sheep entering a tiger's mouth" if Xu Manli and Fan Qirong entered at this time?  Naturally, he had to grab them.

    Shen raised his eyebrows and explained with a smile to Fan Qirong and Xu Manli, who looked puzzled, which made the two of them a little scared. However, not being able to see the lively scene in the bridal chamber made the two of them a little resentful.

    "Let's go, let's find a place to eat. I'm almost hungry." Shen Yangmei took Fan Qirong and Xu Manli's hands and walked around the noisy wedding room to the even noisier wedding banquet.

    Wedding banquets in rural areas are naturally not so particular. Except for special rooms arranged for some distinguished guests, most of the other guests sit outside.  They should be stools borrowed from the primary school in town. There are four or six long benches on one table, or ten larger benches on one table. Food is served in a flowing manner. In addition to large bowls of vegetables, there are also large basins of steamed buns.  , the old lady holding her grandson, the little old man hanging out with her, and the young men shouting and drinking, all having a lively feast on the ground.

    Although Fan Qirong and Xu Manli were informal, they frowned when they looked at the black tables and stools and the original color of the bamboo chopsticks.

    "I'll take you to find something delicious!" Shen Yangmei looked at the two of them and said mysteriously.

    Shen Yangmei took the two of them to the open-air kitchen of the wedding banquet. There were nine drawers the size of millstones, eight temporary stone stoves, five steamers, three soup pots, and four clay-sealed fires.  , the large vegetable cutting table is spacious enough for one person to lie down.  There were cabbage, potatoes, and steamed buns piled on top of the case. The chefs working around the case were all hired by the village, plus the helpers, there were more than a dozen people.

    Fan Qirong took a deep sniff, pointed at the big pot and asked, "What's in that pot?"

    "Eight-treasure sweet rice." A young man who was helping the cook replied proudly as he looked at Fan Qirong and Xu Manli.

    "Sweet, sweet, sweet rice!" Shen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

    "Hey, young man, you're an expert!" A middle-aged chef put down the kitchen knife in his hand and turned to look at Shen Yang with an eyebrow.

    Shen Yangmei hurriedly took out the cigarette from his pocket, passed it around, and said with a smile: "These two are my friends. They have never seen much of the world. They insist on trying the finale meal of our wedding banquet. I will take them two with me."  Come and see.¡±

    The middle-aged chef clamped the cigarette to his ear, looked at Fan Qirong and Xu Manli, "Haha" smiled, raised his thumb at Shen Yangbrow, pointed to the stool next to him, and said, "Okay.  Young man, I¡¯m too impatient to eat hot tofu, please wait a little longer.¡±

    Fan Qirong and Xu Manli sat on the stools with anticipation, keeping their eyes on the large cage.  Not long after, I heard the middle-aged master shout, "Get the cage up!"

    "Great!" The two young men responded, ran up to them, and shouted "One, two, three, get up!" As the sound fell to the ground, the lid of the pig iron pot weighing several dozen kilograms was covered.  opened.

    Fan Qirong couldn't restrain her curiosity, stood up hurriedly, and looked into the pot.  There were only three large bowls of steamed food in the huge basket. I stepped forward and took a closer look. There were several kinds of millet, beans and steamed rice in the bowl. The middle-aged master chef just now saw  He was holding thinly sliced ??pears with chopsticks and covering the rice page by page to form a nice fan shape. Then he scooped up the golden honey in the bowl and sprinkled a few spoons into each bowl.

    "Isn't this just mixed rice?" Fan Qirong blurted out.  When I was young, my family was poor, so whenever there was a shortage of food or noodles, I would make a mixed rice with various grains. The only difference was the workmanship.

    The middle-aged master chef glared at Fan Qirong with displeasure. After all, Xu Manli was the owner of the hotel. She hurriedly pulled Fan Qirong and explained in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense. The rice in the village only consists of glutinous rice, bean pod seeds, and persimmons."  Steam it together and mix it together This is really called eight-treasure sweet rice, something that can go to a star-rated hotel."

    "Really? No, right?"??They can all go to star hotels.  "Fan Qirong didn't believe it.

    "It's really like this." Xu Manli said with a smile, "Glutinous rice, bean paste, melon seeds, persimmons, walnut kernels, sorghum rice, ripe lotus seeds, bean pod seeds, eight treasures, plus sugar pears, honey, and candied dates.  It's so sweet that you won't be able to find where your tongue is after eating it. It's just an ingredient that's thrown in for the occasion. If you want to put it in Jinyumantang, replace the bean paste with fish roe and the melon seeds with almonds, the taste can be improved.  .¡±

    Fan Qirong has been busy doing some chores this morning. She is a big singer outside, and everyone wants to pamper her and let her go.  But in her aunt's eyes, she was still the yellow-haired girl from before.  After a long morning, I was naturally a little hungry.

    Shen raised his eyebrows and smiled, picking up a bowl of eight-treasure rice and tipping it upside down into the bowl. The layer of pear slices served as the bottom layer. The semicircular sweet rice had condensed into a ball, with black pod seeds, white melon seeds, and red melon seeds.  There are small candied dates, golden walnut kernels, and persimmon slivers that have been steamed until the exact color cannot be determined. What is even more eye-catching is that after leaving it for a while, the heat subsides, and a layer of golden color appears on the entire semicircle.  The colour, the fresh aroma of pear and the sweet aroma of honey hit your nostrils.

    Fan Qirong took a spoonful and put it into her mouth. She was afraid that it would stick to her teeth, so she tasted it briefly. Unexpectedly, her dark eyes rolled as soon as she tasted it.  To her surprise, not only was it not sticky at all, it was not too sweet and full of fragrance. It was only when she tasted the second spoonful that she realized the secret of it. Bean pod seeds, melon seeds and walnut kernels were made into eight kinds.  Except for glutinous rice, most of the baos are crispy and chewy. When steamed over high heat, the honey flavor is steamed in. The crispness is not lost, and the natural taste is combined with the flavor of honey and jujube. It can't help but make people lose their tongue.

    "Can you taste the sweetness in it?" Shen Yangmei looked at Fan Qirong with a smile and asked.

    "Thiswhat's so sweet about this? It's not delicious at all." Fan Qirong saw the cunning look in Shen Yang's eyebrows and deliberately curled her lips and said disparagingly, but her hands were not idle, scooping out spoonful after spoonful.  Deliver by mouth.

    Xu Manli laughed out loud and said angrily: "It's not delicious? You eat so much."

    It didn¡¯t take long, and Fan Qirong and Xu Manli devoured a large bowl of eight-treasure rice.  Taking out a tissue and wiping their mouths, the two of them realized that Shen Yangmei hadn't eaten at all just now. They both ate a bowl of rice cleanly. Look at me and I look at you, laughing.  A ball.

    "Okay, I've had fun and eaten, and now I can go." Shen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

    But before Shen Yangmei finished speaking, the groom hurried over to where the three of them were. When he saw Fan Qirong, he said impatiently: "Sister, why are you here? Come on, follow me."  I'm leaving, Xiaocui's cousin wants to see you." After saying that, the groom turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he realized that Fan Qirong had not followed.  He immediately turned around and grabbed Fan Qirong's wrist, and said impatiently: "Sister, hurry up, I'm waiting for you!" It seems that in his hurry, the groom didn't pay attention to the strength of his move. Fan Qirong's face  There was obviously an expression of pain on his face.

    Shen Yang frowned and stepped forward to grab the bridegroom's pulse gate. He twisted it hard with his backhand. The groom let go of Fan Qirong's wrist in pain. He took a few breaths of cold air and looked at Shen Yangmei.  He said hurriedly: "It hurtsit hurtslet it go, let it go"

    Shen Yangmei pushed the groom away hard, and Sina Guang took a few steps back. He looked at Shen Yangmei fearfully for a while, and then turned to Fan Qirong and said, "Sister, who is he?"

    "It's okay, it's okay, Dapeng, please tell me clearly what happened? Who asked me to come over? Who is Xiaocui's cousin? How could he know me?" Fan Qirong was a little angry at her cousin's recklessness.  , and some complained that Shen Yangmei was too harsh.

    "Xiao Cui's cousin, I heard he is a big leader in the county, someone even respected by Township Mayor Li. I heard you are coming to my wedding today, and I want you to come over and have a toast" He said  After saying this, Liu Dapeng glanced at Shen Yangmei worriedly, "Everyone is waiting for you! You'd better come with me as soon as possible."

    ¡°The leader of the county, what a great leader, what a great face, what a great reputation!¡± Xu Manli sneered and glanced at Shen Yang eyebrows in a threatening manner.  Shen Yangmei could only turn a blind eye to Xu Manli's sarcasm.

    "Xiao Shen, why don't I go over and take a look? I can't let uncle and Dapeng get into trouble." Fan Qirong looked at Shen Yang with some hesitation.  She originally had some thoughts in mind when she called Shen Yangmei over today, but she didn't expect to encounter such a situation.  She understood what Shen Yangmei was most resistant to, but she didn't want to make it difficult for her uncle and cousin.

    Shen Yang raised his eyebrows, "Hehe" smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll follow you and have a look to see which leader has such a big reputation to let?Go and have a toast.  "
