In the past, the wedding cake was made of rice flour and vegetable fillings. Now, the wedding cake was made of flour and meat fillings!
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, come over quickly. It’s almost time. There will be children coming to pick up the wedding cakes soon. You guys come and distribute the wedding cakes.” Xue Erfu quickly put the wedding cakes under the shed and called the two children over.
“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan hurried over.
Shen Yuxuan also hurried over. Seeing that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had washed their hands cleanly, he also hurriedly washed his hands as well.
Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia felt that Shen Yuxuan was a guest and shouldn’t be tasked to help. They wanted to invite Shen Yuxuan in, but because Shen Yuxuan really wanted a wedding cake, and Xue Sifu and Xue Wufu came over to help, Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia let him continue.
Then, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Shen Yuxuan began to stand in front of the two big baskets, preparing to give out the wedding cakes.
The big wicker baskets were all lined with oil paper, so the wedding cakes did not touch the big wicker baskets at all. On the big wicker baskets, there were a few written blessings on it.
Jiang Yue was a little smaller and stood in the middle. Xue Yan stood on Jiang Yue’s right and Shen Yuxuan stood on Jiang Yue’s left.
Not long after, many children from the village came to pick up the wedding cake.
Each child was given two wedding cakes. If there were not enough wedding cakes, they would come back for more.
The wedding cakes were usually received before noon. This was the custom of the farmers here. Therefore, many children came over to receive them.
Nearly three large baskets of wedding cakes were distributed. With so many children coming to receive the wedding cakes, Liu Guixia, Xue Dafu, and Xue Da were so happy that their mouths were stuck in a curve. They felt that Sanfu would definitely have many children and be blessed.
Seeing that no more children had come to pick up the wedding cakes, Jiang Yue helped to bring the remaining wedding cakes into the central room and put them together with the many wedding cakes that were left untouched.
There was another reason for doing so much. They would have to send a few to the elderly in the village later.
“The immortal tofu should be ready. You can ice it soon.” Jiang Yue said.
“Yes.” Xue Yan replied.
Shen Yuxuan was curious about what they were talking about, so he followed Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to look at the thing they were talking about in the two large wooden basins.
It was jade green, and it smelled fresh and looked smooth at first glance. He couldn’t help but praise it.
Jiang Yue took the kitchen knife and, like yesterday, cut a few lines in the basin to turn them into tofu pieces. Then, she took out half of the green tofu pieces and placed them in ice water to chill.
These were cut into small pieces at noon. Those that were used at night would be chilled in the evening.
It was lunchtime.
The other people who were eating were drinking, but they were not allowed to drink during the bridal procession. They were afraid that drinking would delay things. It was the same if they drank at night. They still had to go to the bridal procession in the afternoon.
After lunch, the bridal procession was about to start. They had to go to town to fetch the bride.
Sanfu had already changed into his wedding clothes. He looked tall and
powerful in them. His face was firm and his bearing was extraordinary.
There weren’t enough seats, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t go to the table to eat. However, Shen Yuxuan was a guest. When it was time to eat, even if Shen Yuxuan wanted to eat again in the evening, he wasn’t in a hurry to go home after dinner. Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu also sent him to the table to sit next to Xue Wen, so that he could take care of him. No matter what, Shen Yuxuan was still a child.
There were quite a few tables in the main room, and the two guest rooms had also been tidied up..
