The happiest thing when I was a child was to "eat the mat". Anyone who has a happy event would rush to the host to help cook the fire early. All the pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and fish have to be served together, which is very lively and everyone can have a good meal of . Now everyone likes to hold it in a hotel when they get married. Although the dishes have become high-end and the owner is also free of trouble, the festive atmosphere is gone.
This is not Guangxi Xiao Liu, and his family has been urging him to get married. He and his girlfriend Xiao Jing both teach at at Guangxi Foreign Languages College. The relationship between the two has always been very stable. , but recently there was a little conflict over the discussion of marriage. The woman advocated holding a wedding in a hotel, while Xiao Liu wanted to go back to the countryside to hold a dam seat.
At first, Xiao Jing disagreed because she thought that Xiao Liu went back to the countryside to hold a banquet to save money, but she didn't pay any attention to herself. As a matter of marriage, she wanted to save money. Moreover, her relatives basically lived in the city. Isn't it like to hold a wedding banquet to make a joke in front of her relatives?
later, I realized that Xiao Liu wanted to give Xiao Jing an unforgettable Chinese wedding . Now, getting married is usually done in the hotel and it ends after dinner. Xiao Liu felt it was too boring. He told his foreign coaching colleague Kevin. Unexpectedly, Kevin supported his idea very much, and felt that Xiao Liu's wedding must be very interesting and strongly asked to attend.
On the eve of the wedding, Kevin followed Xiao Liu back to his hometown and helped him decorate the wedding scene. Kevin was originally a very romantic person, and he also gave Xiao Liu a lot of good ideas during the wedding planning process.
The wedding scene is comparable to filming a costume drama, welcoming brides, looking for wedding shoes , worshiping tea, holding a red umbrella, scattering rice, circling the auspicious road, passing the door, worshiping the world, worshiping guests... and so on, etc. The sense of rituals of Chinese weddings is full of . The neighbors all came to join in the fun. They all said that Xiao Liu's wedding was too successful, and the villagers have not been so happy for a long time.
After all the ceremonies were completed, Kevin also took the seat with the guests. Just as everyone was still immersed in the Chinese wedding ceremony, delicious dishes were served. Although they were not as exquisite as the hotel, was the size, but the food was large and realistic. Xiao Liu personally went to the town to buy the ingredients. He invited the old chef from the village for decades to take the spoon, which was very in line with the appetite of the people of his hometown. Kevin also couldn't put down his chopsticks at all.
Good things and good foods are of course indispensable. The wine used in the wedding banquet also made Xiao Liu spend all his time. chose Guangxi famous wine Sanhua wine and Lai Zhengheng from Maotai Town, Kweichow. Kevin was surprised why Xiao Liu chose these two wines? Not to mention that the two wines had nothing to do with each other, that was also a relationship that could not be broken.
Guilin Sanhua Wine, everyone is familiar with it, and is produced in Guilin, known as "the best mountains and rivers in the world". It is the representative of Chinese -meter-flavored liquor and is known as the king of -meter-flavored liquor . Speaking of Guilin Sanhua Wine, the history of Guilin is also very long. In ancient times, Guilin Sanhua Wine was called "Rui Lu". After drinking it in the Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda, who came to Guilin as an official, praised it for its "wonderfulness". It is deeply loved by the older generation in Guangxi, and it is also the Sanhua wine at home.
and Lai Zhengheng are the "upstart " for the Guangxi banquet. With its hundreds of years of wine quality, it conquered Guangxi wine lovers. It belongs to the sauce-flavored liquor , which is produced from Maotai Town , like Moutai. Why can stand out from the siege of many Guizhou wines? Firstly, it was founded by Lai Zhengheng, the founder of Lai Mao , and has been passed down from generation to generation by 5 generations. Secondly, its excellent wine quality has spread to hundreds of people, and its good reputation has been drunk by sauce wine enthusiasts.
This is Kevin's first time in the countryside to attend a Chinese wedding. Not only was he shocked by the traditional sense of ceremony, but he sighed that the show was too big, but he was deeply moved by the lovely villagers . Everyone is willing to communicate with Kevin about Chinese food and wine, and talk freely. Kevin also has a deeper understanding of Chinese culture, Chinese food and wine.
Does there any other customs in the traditional wedding banquets you have? Everyone is welcome to leave a message and share.
