Chapter 591
When the master's words fell, the newlyweds Jia Yapeng and Zhu Qiushui walked towards the center of the main stage, something covered by red cloth.
To be honest, many people have actually paid attention to this thing that is firmly covered by the red cloth, and the things inside have attracted everyone's curiosity. Everyone is guessing what is under the red cloth?
However, when Boss Jia lifted the whole piece of red cloth, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, because the one covered under the red cloth was actually a bronze tripod!
A huge bronze treasure tripod with a height of about 1.5 meters and a diameter of about 1.5 meters.
"Oh my God!" Everyone has only seen the bronze treasure tripod in historical documentaries on TV. When have you seen such a huge bronze treasure tripod in reality?
The most important thing is, what do you want to do when you get a bronze treasure cauldron on this festive occasion? Can you burn incense and worship Buddha?
Yes, that's right. In most Chinese people's impressions, things like cauldrons are used to burn incense and worship Buddha.
The cauldron is filled with gray, and the ash is filled with incense, and is worshipped in front of the Buddha statue. This seems to be the most correct way to use the cauldron.
But they did not know that when the cauldron first appeared, the function was not used to burn incense and worship Buddha, and even worshiping ancestors was just a later function. At the beginning, the cauldron was actually a cooking utensil.
That is to say, it is used to cook!
When the red cloth on the bronze tripod was lifted open, most people saw the bronze tripod itself, but some people also noticed that under the bronze tripod, there was actually a pile of wood.
"Precaution!" The master shouted, and a flatbed cart was pushed into front of the bronze treasure tripod with the joint efforts of four or five people. On the flatbed cart, several pots of boiling milky white soup were placed, constantly steaming.
This flat-panel cart has an upward function. Under constant pressure, the flat-panel cart slowly rose and finally rose to the same height as the bronze treasure tripod. The two people standing on the cart immediately put the soup in the big pot in the slow road in the bronze treasure tripod.
"What is this for?" The guests were stunned when they saw someone pouring hot soup into the bronze treasure cauldron.
"Come on fire!" the host shouted again, and then a man holding a torch walked out from behind and ignited all the wood under the bronze. In an instant, the blazing fire simmered the entire bronze treasure cauldron.
Soon, the already smoked soup boiled, and then a strong aroma of meat immediately floated around here.
"Enter the meat!" The master fell down the third voice, and the second flatbed cart appeared, but the flatbed cart was actually a whole pig.
Of course, the pig had been killed and even had its dissection. All internal organs were cleaned up, leaving only a body of meat.
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 clothes dragged the big fat pig above the bronze treasure cauldron, and threw the whole pig directly into the treasure cauldron and into the rolling soup.
The soup was splashed everywhere. Fortunately, these strong men were wearing heat insulation clothes in advance and their bodies were well protected. Otherwise, they would have been burned by these hot soups.
"This tripod is actually used for stewing meat!" Seeing this, the guests finally understood why a bronze tripod was placed on the wedding scene. The feelings were used for stewing meat. This is a refreshing view.
If the Chinese are like this, let alone some foreigners on the scene. When they saw that the huge bronze treasure cauldron was used to stew pork, Alan Adhan and others were also confused. They had never seen such a domineering cooking method before.
In fact, when Boss Jia first saw the plan given by the experts, he was also shocked. Then the expert said very clearly that using a whole cauldron to stew pork at the wedding was a necessary link between nobles in the Shang, Zhou and Han dynasties.
Moreover, it is not troublesome to use modern craftsmanship to build a bronze tripod, which is only 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 cauldron to stew meat.
Because the soup and meat had been cooked long ago, symbolically, after 5 minutes, the strong men in heat-insulating clothes grabbed the rope tied to the pig in advance and lifted the whole fat pig out of the cauldron. At the same time, someone used the small cauldron to serve a bowl of fresh meat soup, and finally placed the whole fat pig on the altar.
"Same prison!"
Under the command of the host, Boss Jia and Zhu Qiushui held a knife in his hand, each of them cut a piece of meat in the most plump position on the pig's body, and stuffed it into their mouths and ate it together.
This is the same prison part of the same prison unit.
Next was "Hao" and a maid appeared behind Boss Jia and Zhu Qiushui with a glass of wine. The so-called Heao wine actually means a glass of wine. The two of them drank the fine wine in the glass with their wrists in each other, and the step of the same marriage was completed.
Then three chefs with big knives appeared and began to cut the whole fat pig on the spot, cut off a small piece of meat, and then put it into a small bowl together with the delicious broth taken out of the cauldron and handed it to a row of maids around him.
These maids carried these small bowls of meat and broth and delivered them to the guests below one by one. This is the legendary sharing of food between the same prison.
At the same time, the whole wedding banquet finally started serving, and the first dish was naturally this fresh stewed broth.
Of course, the fat pig on the stage is impossible for tens of thousands of guests to eat together. The fat pig on the stage is only the VIPs sitting in the front rows, and he is qualified to enjoy it.
In fact, this time, Boss Jia killed a total of fifty pigs and stewed them all in advance. When the marriage ceremony of the same prison was over, the pork soup that had been divided was delivered to the cloud table in front of the guests one by one.
What is very luxurious is that whether it is a worker or a friend, all guests enjoy a pork soup alone, and there is no case where a dozen people put chopsticks on a plate.
It makes people feel very upscale.
"The eighth is to untie the tassels and tie the hair!" The audience had already started eating, but the wedding banquet steps on the stage were still continuing. Under the command of the celebrity, Boss Jia slowly untie the necklace on Zhu Qiushui's head, and then cut off a strand of long hair from the small cut.
Zhu Qiushui also cut a strand of hair from Boss Jia's head. The maid who had already been preparing to beside him immediately tied the two strands of hair and a string of red necklaces together. This is the meaning of knotting.
"Etiquette!" The emcee finally shouted something that made everyone feel relieved. At this point, even if the main process of the entire Han-style wedding was over, Boss Jia and Zhu Qiushui were truly married.
What, you ask why there is no step for the couple to worship the world, the second worship the high hall, and the next worship?
Sorry, those are performed on TV, and there are no such steps in real classical weddings.
