Chapter 131 The difference between inside and outside

It should be said that this kind of banquet is definitely not as comfortable as eating and drinking in a restaurant.

Not to mention the people coming and going in the yard, the stools, and the table swaying left and right. The key point is that the two earth stoves and the gas stove in the kitchen are both in use, which cannot withstand four tables sitting at the same time.

And even though there are a lot of dishes, it will definitely become a mess when picked up by many pairs of chopsticks. In addition, when the wind blows occasionally, there will be some dirt on the table, which really makes it hard to have a good appetite.

However, the family banquet-style wedding of ordinary people also has an extra advantage. That is, it is festive and lively.

Even though the sedan chair, hijab, "Heaven and Earth Code" and other particularities, and those extremely complicated ceremonies have quickly disappeared, the ceremony at the wedding banquet is not simple either.

The wedding of "Xiapaizi" and Xiang Hong can be divided into the following parts.

One, bow.

The two people should bow three times to the leader, three bows to the parents, three bows to the officiant, three bows to the guests, and three bows to each other. Finally, the emcee deliberately said proudly, "Give me three bows!"

The two of them calculated it dizzyingly and found that they had to bow more than eighteen times in total.

2. The officiant delivers a congratulatory speech, the parents speak, and the guests congratulate.

There really isn't much to say in these speeches. They are basically made by leaders of the work unit, parents, elders, and decent people among relatives and friends. They mainly praise and bless the newcomers. This link is quite serious in this era, and the shorter it is, the more concise it is.

The more popular it becomes.

Third, ask the bride and groom to "honestly explain" their love story.

This link is very interesting because there will definitely be someone who will deliberately ask about some details.

Everyone is also happy to see the newlyweds blushing and making fun of each other in unison.

Anyway, if the bride and groom are not forced to the point where they are red-faced, embarrassed, and begging for mercy frequently, they will never be allowed to pass.

Four, make a fuss.

This is a program that is more humane, full of drama, and popular with everyone than the previous session.

A more traditional way is to let the two newlyweds bite a piece of candy together or compete for an apple.

Although newcomers will also be embarrassed, it is different from being forced to ask questions that they are too embarrassed to ask. There are also people participating in the interaction, and everyone is cheering and encouraging, which contains a sense of fun and happiness.

And precisely because of the "explanation" just now as a foreshadowing, I won't suffer from stage fright.

In short, although the dining arrangements were not satisfactory, it was still very interesting and happy for Hong Yanwu and the others to watch the newlyweds go through the entire wedding process amidst the crackling firecrackers and be entertained by everyone.

of.

What's more, wine can be drunk from the open. As long as men can change glasses, they can overcome everything else and still enjoy themselves.

Hong Yanwu was only afraid of wronging "Tang Xin'er" because he didn't see her take a few bites.

But when he went to ask with concern, "Tang Xin'er" held his hand under the table, and poured wine and food very gently. It was obviously showing that she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

In this way, Hong Yanwu put his attention on the wine table with a hint of sweetness.

Needless to say, after all the ceremonies are over, the bride and groom must cheer up and continue to socialize with relatives and friends at the banquet, toasting wine and cigarettes one by one.

And because of their close relationship and the buddies living happily together, the bride and groom were the last ones to come to our table.

In particular, "Old Saury" and "General" saw that they were exhausted, so they didn't let anyone trouble them. They called on everyone to raise their glasses together and clink their glasses together, thus sparing the newlyweds the trouble.

Seeing the "Hai Bangzi" people being so considerate, "Xiapaizi" and Xiang Hong were certainly very moved.

Not to mention anything else, compared with the "important people" who sent pillow towels, quilts, sheets, washbasins, and steamers, these "sea bumpers" who "can't get on the stage" are all out.

It's a big gift of one hundred yuan. "Old Saury" and "General" gave more, each of them paid two hundred yuan.

The young couple had long ago agreed to take it from the people and use it for the people. No one should be treated badly, but these brothers and sisters who have fought together through thick and thin and shared weal and woe should not be treated badly.

So "Xiapaizi" said to everyone during the dinner, "Please forgive me for the poor reception. I know you didn't have a good time, so let's make up for it with friendship. We will go back to rest for a while, and we will meet at seven o'clock in the evening.

Let’s invite everyone to go eat some meat! If anyone doesn’t go, I’ll worry about who else!”

Just like that, the evening really ushered in the moment when the "sea bumpers" gathered together to celebrate the young couple collectively.

Except for the old couple "Old Swordfish" who were really tired and didn't want to mix with the young people, everyone else was there.

The place where "Xiapaizi" and Xiang Hong took everyone to was actually a ten-story, dazzling building on the seaside. It was really surprising.

Because this brightly lit building is not only located at the best spot on the coast, you can have a clear view of the sea from above. There is also a scene of people interlacing and cheering on the roof.

Below you can see a rather broad platform on the roof, surrounded by a unique stone railing.

On the top of the platform is a small pavilion padded by a high platform, and in the pavilion is a band playing.

In addition, there were swaying figures below the band. There were also some waiters wearing red dresses with high curls on their temples walking around, carrying glasses of various colors.

This is definitely a place where gods stay. Except for Hong Yanwu, who knew what was going on inside, the "Hai Bangzi" were dumbfounded when they saw it.

At this time, Xiang Hong proudly told everyone that this was the newly built grand hotel "Guanhai Tower". One of her sisters came here once and said that the food, drink, accommodation and facilities there were all top-notch.

There is nothing available outside. It’s just that the things are too expensive. But we have money, and they are treating us today. Let’s go in and have fun.

After hearing this, can everyone still hold it in? Their interest arose.

After cheering, everyone hurried inside.

But the guy guarding the door refused to let the "Hai Bingzi" in, and insisted on each of them showing their work ID and letter of introduction.

Of course everyone didn't. They were in a hurry, but they saw two yellow-haired and green-eyed foreigners next to them, swaggering and doing whatever they wanted.

But this kid not only ignored it, but opened the door diligently, wagging his tail like a dog.

So the "haibangzi" were collectively furious. They asked the doorman who the two foreigners were and why he didn't check the foreigners.

Although the guy hesitated to speak, he still had his stubborn persistence. He even said arrogantly, "This is a foreign-related hotel that welcomes foreign guests. Of course foreigners don't need to check. There are so many people in Bincheng. If they all come here, what's the point?"

Aren’t you going to overwhelm this place?”

The "sea bumpers" couldn't bear it any longer and roared together.

"This is Bincheng, and we are all from Bincheng! This place is no longer a fucking colony. Is the foreigner your father or your mother?"

Maybe it was out of righteousness, or maybe it was the public anger. The gatekeeper was furious at that time. He was no longer unscrupulous, but broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, an old guy had to run out in a hurry, otherwise this kid would really get beaten.

The old guy seems to be the person in charge here. His attitude is completely different from that of the janitor boy. He is smiling and very friendly.

After clarifying the dispute, he quickly settled it.

"Anyone can come in here, especially the revolutionary masses in Bincheng. Foreigners are not checked at the door, and of course we will not check our own people. It's just that the interior is high-end and luxurious, and the fees are very high..."

The "Hai Bangzi" almost shouted at the same time, "We have money!"

"What money do you have? US dollars, Japanese yen or Hong Kong dollars?"

Although the old guy continued to act patient, Hong Yanwu could tell from the sharpness in his smile that he was deliberately setting a trap in his words.

Sure enough, these unfamiliar words suddenly dwarfed the "Hai Bangzi" by half. They looked at each other, losing all confidence.

For this reason, both the old guy and the young guy looked happy and proud.

However, these two guys were not happy for a long time, because with Hong Yanwu here, he would not let everyone suffer.

He deliberately acted like he didn't understand to express his protest on behalf of the "Hai Bangzi".

"Can't we use RMB? Does this hotel only accept foreign money? Is there a place in our own land where our own money is not allowed?"

These "could it be"s were too scary. The old guy was immediately overwhelmed and felt overwhelmed.

"It can be used, but it costs two yuan for a cup of coffee. There are regulations above that the RMB is 30% more expensive than foreign currencies..."

The old guy has indeed changed his mind and given in, but he obviously still has the last glimmer of hope, which is to make this group of people quit because of the high price.

He never expected that upon hearing his release, all the "sea bumpers" would swarm in, shouting excitedly.

"As long as the domestic money is easy to use, it doesn't matter what percentage the difference is!".

Such a generous statement made the old guy swallow in surprise and did not dare to stop him.

But the most embarrassing thing was the janitor guy.

Hong Yanwu didn't spare him. He passed by him and opened the door with a smile, but his words were particularly insulting.

"Comrade, if I understand correctly, foreigners call your job a 'doorman'. The scope of responsibilities assigned to you by the Communication Office is limited to opening doors for guests and picking up luggage, right? Now, how can you let

Should we open the door and go in by ourselves? It would be a bit derelict. But it doesn't matter. We are not the same people as you. But please remember that foreign-related venues do not only receive foreign guests. Domestic guests are also entitled to enjoy your services. Next time

Don’t mistake your job responsibilities and end up blocking the door when it’s time to open the door!”

Hey, these are just a few words to relieve my anger, but they are quite good. When I hear them, I think I am an expert who knows the inside story of foreign-related hotels.

The gatekeeper blushed immediately and was speechless after being scolded. Even the old guy looked frightened and said, "I accept the criticism."

Judging from the look on his face, I'm afraid they really misunderstood that Hong Yanwu was a big shot with some background.

However, the goal was achieved, and Hong Yanwu had no interest in paying attention to them anymore. He entered the lobby with a smiling and admiring "Tang Xin'er" in his arms.

When the "Hai Bangzi" inside heard what he said, he became happy and started to quarrel again.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, you still have the energy to talk. It's all money, so why should we be treated differently?"

"Haha, don't bully us for not understanding. With you as a big shot in the capital, no one can fool us."

"Huh, good dogs don't block the way. That means Yang Zi has returned to the capital. If he is here, let him bring his troops. Let me see who dares not to let us in..."

The last sentence was clearly heard outside the door. The old guy and the doorman were even more frightened, and their faces turned pale.
