The casual life of the flat space

What is the gap? The toad is still in the pot, but you can hear the sound of slurping saliva next to it. This is the gap!

Not to mention others, Bai Tieying looked at the plate of golden and slippery frogs with red and green decorations in front of him, and then thought about the shabby dish he had made... Village Chief Liao really was - he had never eaten anything delicious!

"It is indeed a true saying not to embarrass yourself by showing off your own shortcomings!" Bai Tieying thought while chewing on the professional version of braised toad in sauce.

"Sister Zhou, you don't have any worries this time, do you? Chef Ji is simply able to turn decay into magic! Even if you give him a piece of soil, he can fry it into the most delicious soil in the world!"

"Hehehehe..." Zhou Shuqin was so amused that she couldn't pick up the food.

"Haha, Miss Bai, thank you for the compliment!" Chef Ji took the sweat towel handed to him by the worker next to him and wiped his sweat, still replying with a calm look.

"Sister, you see, I told you that your luck has turned. With a great chef like Ji, you can expect more customers. Hey, let me get one more and share it with them. After all, I have to pay for it when I come to eat next time!"

"Hahahaha, you little girl, you always act weird!" Zhou Shuqin's mood really became very good all of a sudden, not only because she had confidence in the signature dishes, but also because delicious food can really soothe people's hearts!

……

On the seventh day of September, the God of Joy is in the northwest, the God of Wealth is in the southwest, and the God of Fortune is in the southeast. It is a good day to get married, start a business, and pray for children and wealth.

At the time of Bingshen, the sky was gradually getting dark. Shang'an County, which should have been gradually quieting down as the sun set, suddenly heard a long suona sound from all directions, which lasted for ten breaths. The people in the city who were unaware of the situation were startled and began to talk about it.

Before anyone could go out and ask, the sound of gongs and drums started again, and everyone knew it was the wedding song. But why the sound was so loud was puzzling, and some curious people followed the sound.

When the crowd gathered, they could find that there was a wedding near their residence, but from the sounds it seemed that there were also families wedding in other places. Some people counted on their fingers to figure out what day it was, and surprisingly many families chose to get married on the same day.

Gradually, the wedding music from all over seemed to converge into one place, and the crowd that followed along the middle street gradually realized that they were converging towards Yongyanfang in the east of the city.

Soon, two wedding processions ran into each other, followed by three more families, who were also about to gather together. Someone in the crowd who wanted to watch the fun followed behind and shouted, "Grab the blessing, grab the blessing!"

But the two families on the opposite side who had passed first did not get upset as usual. The two teams stopped their horses and sedan chairs at the same time, and the matchmakers and Yin-Yang masters from the two families walked forward, holding something wrapped in a wedding scarf in their hands. Then the four of them said "Congratulations" in unison, exchanged the wedding scarves in their hands, and bowed their heads and said something to each other.

Then the matchmaker on the south side of the road bowed and sang: "The fairy has descended to the human world, and returned to the cave. Meeting you by chance adds to my joy, and brings me more luck and peace."

The matchmaker on the north side of the road also sang loudly: "On a good day, Liu and Ruan will meet the real immortals, and their minds will be connected with each other in a smile. Fortunately, they meet on an auspicious day, and they will become sworn sisters in the future."

Then she raised the wedding handkerchief wrapped in something in her hand and said loudly, "Today, the Yang and Li families are welcoming new brides. The two families are happily meeting on the way to the banquet. The brides wish each other well and give way to each other. Sister Yang is grateful to Sister Li for her modesty. In the future, sister will definitely bring her husband to visit and express her gratitude!"

After saying this, the groom from the north side of the road bowed to express his gratitude, and the matchmaker walked forward holding the things in her hands. The Yin-Yang master told his entourage to scatter beans and grains to the west, and then he walked ahead. After his team had finished walking, the family on the south side of the road followed.

After all this singing and responding, the onlookers understood what was going on. In addition, since this place was neither the mother's house nor the husband's house, yet beans and grains were being scattered, everyone was happy to get some benefits, and some even said a few auspicious words.

In the past, if the couples walked side by side on the road to get married, whoever walked first would be considered to have robbed the other party of their blessings, so no one wanted to fall behind, and there was often a reason for that.

One said that my family was blessed by an official family, and the other said that his family was a scholarly family, so most wedding processions would send someone to watch the road in advance to avoid trouble for each other.

But these two families, as well as the three families behind them, were all walking on the road openly, as if they were not worried about who would come first and who would come later. It turned out that there was such an arrangement here. It's just that this custom seems to have never been heard of before. I wonder who could come up with such a clever idea? In the future, if there is a wedding in your family, you must find out and hire the matchmakers from the two families just now.

Who else could have such a clever little brain? Of course it was Bai Tieying! It was not unusual for these families to choose the same auspicious day to get married, but it was unusual for them to have a banquet in the same restaurant. In Bai Tieying's original life, this was called a mass wedding!

This is one of the reasons why Bafangke has delayed opening until now. Auspicious occasions often happen, but it is not common for weddings and openings to be on the same day and at the same time. I consulted several Yin-Yang masters, and finally calculated that the nearest day is the seventh day of September, so Bafangke has been renovated but not opened, just to wait for this day.

After Zhou Shuqin accepted Bai Tieying's idea of ​​letting Bafangke find a new way and making a big splash on the opening day, she naturally asked the matchmaker and other relevant personnel to go through all the customs from beginning to end. When the two families met on the road, each matchmaker gave a different opinion, and in the end, it was naturally Bai Tieying who made the move, deciding the order based on age.

As for other things like exchanging apples wrapped in wedding veils, saying nice things to each other, becoming sworn brothers, walking as relatives in the future, and then whichever family leaves first will throw beans, grains, sugar and money to the onlookers, these were naturally ideas that Bai Tieying borrowed from the original world.

For the families participating in the group wedding, they can save a lot of money on the banquet, and it will also save face for both parties, so naturally they will have no objections - of course, money still saves more face.

Team after team of bride-welcoming brides marched toward Yongyanfang, and there was also the good thing of scattering beans in the valley, so naturally there were a large number of idle people following to watch the fun. When the teams finally gathered in front of the Bafangke Gate, the noise of people's discussions almost drowned out the gongs and drums.

But as the brides came down from the carriages with flowery eaves, stepping on green striped cloths and walking towards the guests supported by the matchmakers, the onlookers could only gather at the door and watch the excitement.

"Tieying, the praiser hasn't arrived yet. Sanzi went to look for him, but he said he had a sudden illness and couldn't come."

"What? So unreliable? Well, let's put this down first and settle it later. Sister Zhou, can you find someone who meets the requirements?"

"Where can I find it at this time?"
