Chapter 606: Together in the Prison
When the emcee's words fell, Jia Yapeng and Zhu Qiushui, the newcomers, walked in unison to the center of the main stage, something covered by a red cloth.
To be honest, in fact, many people have paid attention to this thing that is firmly covered by the red cloth, and the contents inside have also attracted everyone's curiosity, and everyone is speculating about what is under the red cloth?
It's just that when Boss Jia lifted the whole red cloth, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, because what was covered under the red cloth was actually a bronze tripod!
A huge bronze treasure with a height of about 1.5 meters and a diameter of about 1.5 meters.
"Oh my God!" Bronze Baoding, everyone has only seen it in historical documentaries on TV, when have you ever seen such a huge bronze Baoding in reality!
And the most important thing is, on the festive occasion of your wedding, what do you want to do when you get a bronze treasure tripod, do you want to burn incense and worship the Buddha?
Yes, that's right, in the impression of most Chinese people, things like tripods are used to burn incense and worship Buddha.
The inside of the tripod is filled with ash, and the ash is filled with incense, and it is enshrined in front of the Buddha statue, which seems to be the most correct use of the tripod.
But they don't know that when the tripod first appeared, the role was not used to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and even the sacrifice to the ancestors was only a derivative effect, in the very beginning, the tripod was actually a kind of cooking utensils.
In other words, it's for cooking!
When the red cloth on the bronze tripod was lifted, most people saw the bronze tripod itself, but some people noticed that under the bronze tripod, there was actually a pile of wood.
"Soup!" As soon as the master of ceremonies shouted, there was a flat cart, which was pushed in front of the bronze Baoding under the joint efforts of four or five people. On top of the flat cart, there were several pots full of hot, milky-white, steaming soup.
This flat cart has a rising function, under the continuous pressure, the flat cart slowly rises, and finally rises to the same height as the bronze Baoding, two people standing on the cart, about the soup contained in the cauldron, slowly road to the bronze Baoding.
"What is this for?" Seeing someone pouring the hot soup into the bronze treasure tripod, the guests were dumbfounded.
"Fire!" The master of ceremonies shouted again, and then a man with a torch came out and set fire to all the wood under the bronze, and in an instant, the raging fire simmered the entire bronze treasure.
Soon, the soup that was already smoking boiled, and then a thick smell of meat wafted around it.
"Into the meat!" The third sound of the master of ceremonies fell, and the second flatbed cart appeared, but the flatbed cart was actually a whole pig on it.
Of course, the pig had been killed, and even dissected, and all the internal organs had been cleaned, leaving only a body of flesh.
In fact, if you look closely, you will find that the meat of this big fat pig has actually been cooked.
Soon, several strong men in heat-insulating clothing dragged the big fat pig to the top of the bronze Baoding, and then threw the whole pig directly into the Baoding, and also into the tumbling soup.
The soup splashed everywhere, but fortunately, these strong men wore heat-insulating clothes in advance, and their bodies were well protected, otherwise they would not have been burned off by these hot soups.
"This tripod is actually used for stewed meat!" Seeing this, the guests finally understood why they put a bronze Baoding at the wedding scene, the feelings are used for stew, and this Nima is too refreshing.
The Chinese people are still like this, not to mention some foreigners on the scene, when they saw that the huge bronze Baoding was actually used to stew pork, Alan Adhan and the others were also stunned, they had never seen such a domineering cooking method.
In fact, Boss Jia was also startled when he saw the plan given by the experts at the beginning, and then the experts made it very clear that the whole Dading stewed pork at the wedding was a necessary part of the wedding between the nobles in the Shang, Zhou and Han dynasties.
And it is not troublesome to build a bronze tripod with modern technology, that is, tens of thousands of yuan, so Boss Jia customized this bronze tripod in a bronze factory a month in advance.
Boss Jia estimated that this was definitely the first time since the liberation of China that someone used a bronze tripod to stew meat.
Because the soup and meat had already been cooked, after a symbolic 5 minutes, the strong men in heat-insulating clothes grabbed the rope tied to the pig in advance, and carried the whole big fat pig out of the ding, and at the same time, someone used the small ding to hold a bowl of fresh broth, and finally the whole big fat pig was placed on the table.
"Same prison!"
Under the command of the master of ceremonies, Boss Jia and Zhu Qiushui were holding a knife, each slashed at the fattest position on the pig's body, cut a piece of meat, and stuffed it into their mouths together to eat.
This is the part of the same prison.
Followed by "Heyu", and a maid appeared behind Boss Jia and Zhu Qiushui with a glass of wine. The so-called joint wine, in fact, is the meaning of handing over a glass of wine, the two of them held each other's wrists and drank the wine in the glass, and the step of joining together is completed.
Then three chefs with big knives appeared, began to cut the whole fat pig on the spot, cut a small piece of meat, and then put it into a small bowl with the delicious broth fished out of the ding, and handed it to a large row of maids beside him.
And these maids, with these small bowls of meat and broth, were delivered to the cloud case of the guests in the audience one by one, which is the legendary sharing of food in the same prison.
At the same time, the whole wedding banquet has finally begun to be served, and the first course is naturally this freshly stewed broth.
Of course, the fat pig on the stage cannot be eaten by tens of thousands of guests in the audience, and the fat pig on the stage is only qualified for the VIPs sitting in the first few rows.
In fact, this time Boss Jia killed a total of fifty pigs, and all of them were stewed in advance, and as soon as the ceremony was over, the pork soup that had already been divided was sent to the cloud case in front of the guests one by one.
And the very luxury is that all the guests, whether they are workers or friends, have a pork soup for themselves, and there is no situation where more than a dozen people put chopsticks on a plate.
It makes people feel very upscale.
"The eighth also, untie the knots!" The audience has already started to eat, but the wedding banquet steps on the stage are still continuing, under the command of the master of ceremonies, Boss Jia slowly untied the Yingluo on Zhu Qiushui's head, and then cut off a strand of long hair from small scissors.
And Zhu Qiushui also cut a strand of hair from Boss Jia's head, and the maid who had already prepared beside her immediately knotted these two strands of hair, as well as a string of red Yingluo, together, this is the meaning of knotting hair.
"Licheng!" The master of ceremonies finally shouted out the words that relieved everyone, and when they arrived here, the main process of the entire Han wedding was over, and Boss Jia and Zhu Qiushui were truly married.
What, you ask, why is there no step of worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall twice, and husband and wife worshipping each other?
Sorry, those are all on TV, and there are no such steps in a real classical wedding.
Of course, there are actually steps to bow down to their parents, but the problem is that Jia Yapeng and Zhu Qiushui have no parents, and they are not interested in finding some people to be their parents, so naturally this step is omitted!
