Chapter 171: Ancestor Worship and Scientific Research
The meal on Chinese New Year's Eve was very lively, and everyone was very happy, especially this year with the addition of Li Beibei, plus now at home, life in the clan is getting better and better, and everyone's mood is very high.
It was the eldest aunt Wang Xiaoyan, because the youngest son Su Ming was still studying in South Korea, and he didn't have time to come back for the New Year, and his mood was a little low, Su Bei quietly told her that he had already arranged it, and now Su Ming has stepped on the plane back to China, and when he waits until tomorrow night, he will be able to return to the village and celebrate the New Year with everyone, so that the eldest aunt's mood will improve.
For Su Ming, Su Bei's expectations are relatively high, so he sharpened him as much as possible, let him study abroad alone, and now he comes and goes to let him act alone, exercising Su Ming's ability as much as possible.
After dinner, according to the customs of the clan, the whole clan is to worship the ancestors on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, the whole village gathered in front of the newly built Su ancestral hall, the lights around the ancestral hall have the same name, especially in front of the door, which is very bright, and the door link at the door is clearly visible.
"Zude has a long history, and martial arts have been around for thousands of years. ”
The horizontal batch is the four big characters of "Su ancestral ancestral hall".
When the north of Jiangsu arrived, the entrance of the ancestral hall was already crowded with people, there was a long case at the door, there were sacrifices to the ancestors, mainly three animals, with all kinds of fruits and sweets, and the front was three cups of rice wine brewed by the old man himself.
There was also an incense burner in the open space in front of the offering, and paper money was already offered in the furnace.
When the time was about the same, the old man held three incense sticks, lit them on the burning paper money, and then came to the long case, one sacrifice to heaven and earth, two sacrifices to fortune, three sacrifices to the ancestors, and three kowtows. Three glasses of wine.
The ceremony ended with the old man holding three incense sticks into the ancestral hall first, inserted on the small incense burner in front of the shrine, and then the old man personally distributed the sacrifices that had been blessed by the ancestors to the young clansmen, and said some auspicious words to the children to encourage them to study hard, meaning that the children in the clan can receive the blessing of their ancestors and grow up strongly.
Ben came to this time, and finally everyone cleaned the ancestral hall together, but now that the life of the clan is getting better and better, there are more things.
The village chief Bo Su Dongqiao stood up and talked about the benefits of the Chinese New Year clan and how many things each family can receive. Because the entrepreneurship of the clan has just started and is still in the initial stage of development, there is no dividend this year, but various benefits that are enough for everyone to have a prosperous year, such as beef in the pasture, fish in the fish, various vegetables and fruits, etc.
Although there are no dividends, each family works in different positions in the village, and this year has passed. I don't know how much more I have paid my salary than before, and now I have paid so many New Year's goods, and I am very happy.
Some clansmen asked Subei to hear that Subei was going to take everyone abroad to attend his wedding on May Day next year, and asked if Subei was true. The rumor had spread throughout the village within a few hours.
Su Bei thought and nodded. Confirmed the rumor.
As Su Bei nodded, everyone was suddenly excited, one was that Su Bei was happy to get married, and the other was that in addition to Su Bei and Su Ming in the village. No one has ever been out of the country. These are two great events.
When the ancestral hall was finally cleaned, everyone in the whole clan did it, and Subei was no exception. He found two rags, handed one to Li Beibei, and the two of them wiped a wooden pillar on the left side of the ancestral shrine together.
When I returned to my grandparents' ancestral house, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, because tomorrow I had to go to the provincial capital early to take a plane to Jiangning to discuss marriage with Sister Beibei's parents.
Su Bei didn't have half a bit of sleep, he slept in the afternoon, and now he was in good spirits, and he couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply called Su Huai, and took the black girl to the edge of Zishan Lake to take a walk around the lake late at night.
"How are the other non-village staff arranged?" asked Su Bei casually.
In addition to the clansmen in the village, there are now many external staff, among which Zihuai Tourism Company has the largest number of external staff.
Zhou Tao and they have arranged it themselves, and the benefits for the New Year are also in place. Su Huai replied respectfully.
Zhou Tao is the general manager and general manager of Zihuai Tourism Company.
Su Bei nodded and instructed: "You explain to Zhou Tao, the tourism development of Zishan Village must be established on the basis of maintaining the environment of Zishan Village, and it must also maintain the tranquility of Zishan Village. If these two parties do a good job, the money will naturally be earned, and don't deviate from the development route I have formulated for the sake of performance. ”
"Yes, sir, I'll keep an eye on it. Su Huai naturally understood his master's thoughts. After responding, he continued: "Master, now Zihuai has cooperated with the agricultural university in the provincial capital, we sponsor some of their scientific research projects, he helps to assist us in technical consultation, including other projects in addition to Zihuai company, recently they proposed a scientific research plan to go into the southwest primeval forest to investigate rare plants, I hope we sponsor, I let Zhou Tao verbally come down." ”
Primeval forests?
Su Bei suddenly became interested and asked: "Then have you investigated this scientific expedition plan? Is it really for scientific research, or do you just want to get a name for money?"
Su Huai said: "This scientific research project is proposed by an old professor named Liu Haipeng of the Provincial Agricultural University, this old professor has dealt with us a few times, is decent, is a practical school, he has studied plants for a lifetime, has always had a wish is to produce an encyclopedia book about China's cherished plants, but unfortunately many plants lack the corresponding graphic information, just right, his wish and our purple acacia plant demonstration base complement each other, so it was proposed to us. ”
Su Bei nodded and said, "Well, then it should be promised, when is his plan going to be implemented?"
"The initial intention is to arrange it in July and August, that is, next summer, when Professor Liu will have free time. ”
Subei looked at the lake of Zishan Lake, there is no moon tonight, so the entire Zishan Lake is very dim, if it is not for Subei's strong eyesight, I am afraid that I can't tell the lake water and the night.
"This sponsorship can be funded as much as possible to cooperate with Professor Liu...... By the way, when it comes to research, I think of another thing. Su Bei stopped and continued: "This time my father-in-law reminded me that now is the era of the network economy, let's promote the brand of Purple Mountain Cuisine, including the Purple Mountain Guide grade system, and we can't get away from the Internet."
