In the wedding day, the groom’s family will bring a big amount of meat to the bride’s family. The amount of meat is calculated depending on the relationship among two families. After receiving the meat, the bride’s family will marinate them sour for a long time. In next 2-3 years, when the groom and the bride has enough condition to give thank to their parent and families. The bride’s parent will take the sour meat to treat the customers.
