Chapter 221
Even today, matchmakers still have a lot of existence in rural areas. They are not specialized in this. They basically work part-time and serve as a microphone.
People who talk about themselves in rural areas often find a middleman character similar to a matchmaker.
Because there are countless rules for rural marriages with strange shapes, like Majia Village and Lujia Village are so close, many rules are different.
To put it bluntly, many elderly people in rural areas have extremely stubborn thoughts in this regard and have to follow local rules. The biggest role of the middleman is to act as a lubricant to prevent the conversation from collapsing without saying a word on both sides.
In the main hall, Lu Zhenlin was responsible for the talks, and Lu Dong checked for the shortcomings and made up for the leaks.
Fang Yan knew that Lu Dong was so slick, so she asked Lu Chun to tell him that he had to open his mouth when it was time to open his mouth.
In the words of Lu Chun and Fang Yan, the real matchmaker of their two is Lu Dong.
We need to make a date for getting married before we talk about it. What we are here to talk about today is mainly the procedures before marriage and the most important bride price.
Both sides were a little anxious. Whether it was Lu Chun or Fang Yan, they were all ages. If they weren't working in a public unit and simply putting it in the countryside, it would be a long-lasting disaster.
Fang's father first talked about the matter here: "Uncle Lu, Lu Chun and Fang Yan are both busy with work. They are all from the country. Only with a country can we have a family. Personal affairs cannot be too delayed in public affairs. In my opinion, why don't we have a big meeting and a small meeting together? The country also advocates learning advanced experience, so let's hold an engagement ceremony directly?"
When Lu Zhenlin heard this, he was just right: "Okay! I think this is good. Fang Yan and Lu Chun are both working in the city. The people who are prosperous in the city will not let the people in their unit gossip."
Lu Dong could see that Fang's father was a wise man.
Fang’s father is sincerely considering his daughter. The man is about to be promoted to director. He is 27 years old and has a bright future!
Moreover, the man also purchased a wedding house near the work unit of the two in the future.
These outdated rules in the village are comparable to the happiness of their daughter? He has no son, so why do he want so many things?
Lu Zhenlin asked, "I heard that there is a ten-top ten here? What is it specifically?"
Fang's father said, "This is not to be spared. I'm not at home, so it doesn't matter. Fang Yan's mother, she's on the street all day, and you can't just gossip. I think so, just ask Lu Chun to buy something once. When you have time, I'll bring it over with Fang Yan. After I finish, I'll ask Fang Yan to pull it back for Lu Chun."
"It's so bad." Lu Zhen and Lin Xin said that if they had known it was so easy to talk to, they would have asked Lu Jianguo and his wife to come over directly: "Our man must show sincerity..."
Fang's father said again: "Uncle Lu, nothing is more important than the happiness of the two children. Is this the reason?"
Lu Zhenlin said: "Yes, we are all thinking about our children. With children, isn't we just living a child?"
The talk went very smoothly, and there was no need for Lu Dong to beat the drum at all. The amount of the bride gift was taken as the middle number of the customs on both sides.
The woman had already made such a big concession, so the man naturally had to make a statement and withdraw 20,000 yuan in pairs.
According to the customs in the north, the bride price starts at 30,000 yuan.
Fang’s father’s meaning is also very clear, and the gift will be given back to the dowry.
Lu Dong really acted as a driver for a while, and didn't say anything about beating the side drum from beginning to end.
The two parties also agreed to get engaged next month and get married in the fall.
For specific days, please visit someone.
According to the rules of Beihe, the male guests who did not leave any talks for dinner, Lu Dong and Lu Zhenlin did not stay for too long and took the initiative to say goodbye before eleven o'clock.
This place is more serious than Qingzhao's preference for boys than girls, but when it comes to marriage, the man is so frustrated that he is not even as good as his three grandsons.
Lu Dong drove up Santana and pulled Lu Zhenlin back.
Lu Zhenlin said: "Your brother is blessed. It is rare for you to find someone who is reasonable and put in our Qingzhao."
"People are teachers who teach and educate people." Lu Dong said with a smile: "Of course, there is a high level of ideological awareness."
Lu Zhenlin shook his head: "Not every teacher has such a high level of awareness."
Lu Dong agreed, this is the truth, and most of the professions are ordinary people.
When I returned to Lujia Village, I went to my uncle's house to talk about the situation first. Lu Jianguo and Li Min both breathed a sigh of relief. In the future, my in-laws were sensible and better than anything else.
There is a saying that no matter how good you get a wife, you can't stand the illogical mother-in-law behind her back.
When Lu Dong went out, he called Lu Chun, so that he could rest assured that his elder brother would rest assured.
Just after the phone call, Lu Jianren rode a 125 motorcycle from the south, and the car stopped beside Lu Dong: "Are you back?"
Lu Dong said: "I'm back, it's very smooth."
Lu Jianren smiled: "When will I have a wedding banquet for my eldest nephew?"
"It's almost done." Lu Dong said vaguely.
Lu Jianren greeted him: "Get into the car, go, have a drink with your Uncle Qi. I have made a few new dishes to try?"
Lu Dong hadn't had dinner with him for a long time, so he went back to say hello to his uncle, got on Lu Jianren's motorcycle, and returned to the old street.
Lu Jianren went to cook in person. Lu Dong thought that Nailzi would come back for dinner later, so he rode a motorcycle and went to the braised meat shop in the village, and bought some pig heads and chicken claws.
When I came back, I smelled a burnt scent, which was indescribable.
Soon, the two apprentices Hongbing and Xiaoguang, who were working in the processing factory, also came over. Lu Dong made tea and asked the two to sit there casually, and took a bottle of wine to open it.
The nails came back, lunch started, and each of the four adults had a glass of wine.
Lu Jianren brought two plates of new dishes from the kitchen.
One of the fried dishes was slightly burnt, which was the source of the seductive burnt fragrance that Lu Dong smelled.
Lu Dong looked carefully and saw the burnt bean-shaped object on the plate, and the fragrance wafted.
Another plate, a black-patterned shell-like object on white background, cracked, slightly larger than beans, and looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it for a while.
Without saying a word, the nail picked up a "bean" with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's delicious! It's delicious!"
Lu Jianren is rarely serious: "Try them all! Hurry, try them all while they are hot!"
Seeing that Uncle Qi was so serious, Lu Dong was sure that the thing on the plate must be inappropriate.
He picked up one with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. This thing is really delicious, a bit like crab paste and crab roe? It's not very accurate.
Not easy to describe.
After eating a few, Lu Dong picked up a shell-like object and knocked it open like eating melon seeds. The things inside also tasted unspeakable.
Lu Dong was very curious. No matter what the nail next to it was, it would be delicious.
"Uncle Seven." Lu Dong asked, "What's the thing made of this?"
Lu Jianren's eyebrows ran to his hair: "Guess."
When Lu Dong saw the two disciples of Uncle Qi, Xiaoguang couldn't help laughing and reminded: "The master said that I can't be the leader of the Five Poisons Sect this year!"
"What does this have to do with the leader of the Five Poisons Sect?" Lu Dong was surprised at first, and then saw the shell-like object with a white background and black pattern. He suddenly thought of the itchy spicy pot on the sour jujube branches, and suddenly realized: "This itchy spicy larva?"
Lu Jianren picked up the wine and sipped: "I guessed it right, no reward."
Lu Dong didn't feel any disgusting. When he was a child, he had eaten roasted beanworms and ground lizards. How could he be afraid of this thing? He ate a few more times and said, "Uncle Qi, you are really good. You can even cook this."
Lu Jianren said: "I heard from a brother from Northeast China on the construction site. How about it when Chunzi got married and made this as the main dish?"
Lu Dong quickly said, "Don't! Do you think everyone is like us? Then a group of people will vomit, and my uncle and third grandfather will peel you off."
"I don't know how to enjoy the delicious food." Lu Jianren shook his head and sighed.
Lu Dong said again: "I understand, Uncle Qi, tell me, how did this be done?"
"This is to pick out the insects first and fry them slowly in the pot." Lu Jianren finally found the feeling of being a master in Lu Dong again: "This is to wash it and then boil it with salt."
Xiaoguang responded: "It's just that the raw materials are not easy to get through. Recently, we have picked up all the ones on the river bank."
Lu Dong thought, should he do something else and give the black egg a try?
Why did you think of Black Egg?
Lu Jianren shouted and drank, while Lu Dong clinked glasses with him and two others.
I have to work in the afternoon, so I can stop after drinking a glass of wine.
Lu Jianren worked in a food processing factory in the village, worried that he would be encouraged by Lu Zhenlin, so he would be much more restrained when drinking and making trouble.
After dinner, Lu Dong went up the river bank to take a look and found that the wild jujube trees were terrible, with branches broken and slanted. It was very difficult to find a itchy spicy pot.
The itchy and spicy food on this section of the river bank in Lujia Village is not called to Uncle Qi to eat the extinction, right?
Looking at the newly planted small trees under the river bank, Lu Dong lamented that he wanted to find more itchy spicy foods, and he was going to travel far this year.
After getting off the river embankment and going to the north of the village, this is the main road leading to the outside of the Lu's Food Processing Factory. The road was not hardened and it was originally a cement road. The village has recently paved a layer of sand and gravel.
Lu Dong came to Uncle Tie’s chicken farm and processing factory, and Uncle Tie’s aunt was loading some semi-finished products into the truck.
"Dongzi, you're here just right." Uncle Tie washed his hands and said, "I'm going to deliver goods to your store."
He wiped his hands with a towel: "Your store is doing well, and you need goods once a day on average."
Lu Dong said: "Fried chicken is popular and has no competitors."
Uncle Tie has tasted the sweetness of the processing plant and asked: "When will you expand the scale again? The cost can be reduced if the quantity is larger."
Lu Dong told the truth: "In another two months."
Most of the company's funds are spent on two stores, and the turnover of the two stores is not a problem. If you want to open a store again, even if you take out a loan, you must ensure the company's cash flow is healthy.
In about two months, there will be a clear news in Feiyang Hotpot Restaurant in the county town, and the two stores can accumulate a large amount of funds.
Uncle Tie said the key point: "Dongzi, we agreed to pay the payment every ten days, so we can't delay it."
Lu Dong smiled: "Uncle Tie, we are all our own people, and no one can drag you down?"
Afterwards, Lu Dong took his car to the north entrance of the village and went home to ride a motorcycle to the university town.
Both stores have a stable business. The Hamburger King opened, and the boy seemed to have finally found a good place to invite girls to dinner. The two people in the store sold very well.
The popularity of Burger King not only did not affect the Lüshi Malatang, but instead made the abortion nearby trend further increase.
The popularity gathering effect is becoming more and more obvious.
In the burger shop, Song Na was waiting for Lu Dong. When she saw him coming in, she asked, "Have you drunk again?"
Lu Dong said, "I met Uncle Qi and drank a drink."
