Chapter 77: Seven Opening Rites
The location of Mangyu Hi-Tech is in the Sunshine Building, south of Kunming Road in Weihai City.
Although it is considered to be the edge of the commercial area, because it is backed by Huancui Park, the scenery and air are quite good, and the entrance is a crossroads, and the traffic is also very convenient.
Sunshine Building is a comprehensive office building, the first to second floors below are shops, restaurants, Internet cafes, tea houses and other stores, the third to ninth floors are rented to various companies for office, the tenth floor is meeting rooms and entertainment venues, and the eleventh floor and above have been turned into chain hotels.
The office area is on the fourth floor, about one-fifth of the floor, and next door to an advertising company, a housekeeping company, a mother and baby products company, a law firm and a financial agency.
In the process after the opening, Mangyu Hi-Tech is also the same as other ordinary companies, assigning tasks, and then clocking in to work, each busy with his own work.
Su Lei, as the boss, personally went to the neighbor's door. He and Wu Xuezhou took a few employees to visit from house to house with baskets.
According to the custom of this great summer, when it opens, seven things will be given to nearby counterparts.
The first is the staple food made of red rice, rice, rice balls or meatballs, the second is brown sugar-based pastries, the third is salt, the fourth is tea, the fifth is wine, the sixth is fresh fruits or preserved fruits, and the seventh is a money bag or money jar. Salt and tea should be packed into green bamboo tubes.
This is called the "Seven Opening Ceremony", and there is no restriction on the number of things and the quality of things, but everything must be there.
Then from the second day to the third day, the other party will come and go back and forth, and give back eggs, red dates, wine, lotus seeds, sugar, and a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
In Su Lei's style, the "Seven Opening Ceremony" prepared must not be very good, and they are all very good things.
For example, taking salt as an example, the local tyrants who are particular about it use a traditional craft of safflower salt. This salt is made by adding herbs such as safflower, borneol, mint and bellflower, as well as a variety of flower petals, and the result is a brilliant ruby color and a rich floral fragrance. In ancient times, Bactria was mainly used by powerful people to clean their mouths, and in modern times, it is mainly used for gargling, washing hands, and making sacrifices. The 100-gram bottle of safflower salt on the market is about 3 yuan.
And what we Su always use is the most common salt wholesale from the market, a big bag of 50 kilograms for one yuan......
And the portion size is also ...... For example, the bar is a two-pot head with only two or two bottles, which is really a small bottle.
"Hello Mr. Su! I'm going to come back tomorrow to worship......" Director Zhang of the law firm next door took the gift from Su Lei very warmly.
Su Lei smiled and said: "Hello Zhang, our company may also have business in the future, please ......"
"No problem, in fact, most of the companies in this building are our customers, if your company has any legal needs in the future, just look for me......"
The two chatted awkwardly for a few words, and Su Lei took his leave.
"Zhang, this company doesn't seem to be very strong, look at it, their seven gifts, maybe it's wholesaled when the village catches up with the market, right?" A young lawyer looked disgusted and flipped through the gift sent by Su Lei, and mocked bitterly: "This kind of grass platform team company, if you don't do it, it will be gone next year......
Another lawyer also laughed: "Isn't it, now the state has preferential treatment for high-tech, so now all cats and dogs want to get in and get a vote." Hehe, don't pee and take pictures? Which of these high-tech is not burned out by burning money, and is still engaged in high-tech with a poor and sour picture? It's almost ...... to go home and farm."
"It's hard to imagine that Boss Su even mortgaged the land, and there is no land to plant......"
"Hahaha......"
A group of people laughed back and forth.
Because they saw that Su Lei and the others had already gone out, they naturally had no scruples, and many lawyers and interns joined in the fun. There were only a few people in the entire law firm who were not involved.
Zhang Suo did not participate, he is a very urban person, although he also feels that the strength of Mangyu Gaoke is low, but he never offends people, even if he looks down on him in his heart, he will not show it.
"Xiaomen, you can take these things back and use them......" He kindly handed over the gifts to an intern.
"Ah, thank you, Zhang Suo......" The intern who called Xiaomen took it a little shyly. The conditions at his home are not good, but he doesn't dislike these big road goods.
Zhang Suo wrote another list to him: "You follow this list and help me buy things back as a return gift tomorrow." ”
"Yo, Zhang, you actually bought them silver bowls and chopsticks, it's too cheap for them......" A lawyer next to him looked at the list and shouted.
"He's him, I'm me, it's a new company, why do you care about all this?" Zhang Suo waved his hand and motioned for Xiaomen to hurry up and do something.
"Ah...... Eyes, my eyes ......" a lawyer who was laughing suddenly covered his eyes and screamed.
"Ah, my eyes...... What's going on?" Immediately after, the other lawyers also covered their eyes and screamed.
Soon a bunch of people were covering their eyes and screaming, their eyes all having a painful, itchy, burning sensation, and an urge to gouge their eyes out.
In the entire law firm, just a few people such as Zhang and Xiaomen are fine.
They stared dumbfounded at their colleagues rolling on the floor.
............
Su Lei and his party had just walked to the door of the advertising agency when Wu Xuezhou suddenly stopped and turned to look at an employee holding a gift.
"Little Xie......" he called.
Xiao Xie hurriedly raised his head.
Wu Xuezhou's unhappy voice sounded in his head: "Fool! You just forgot what the boss said!
"But...... That's blasphemy...... Boss!" Xiao Xie responded in the same way.
"The boss won't care about that...... Forget it this time, remember, there is no ...... next time"
Wu Xuezhou turned around, and Su Lei said: "Boss, I just thought that there may be fewer gifts, ask Xiao Xie to go back and get some ......."
"Hmm......" Su Lei nodded, and immediately walked in with a smile on his face: "Is Mr. Luo here?"
............
In the law firm, the people who had just screamed like killing pigs suddenly stopped screaming.
"What's going on......"
One by one, they all crawled up with a confused face, and many of them had their own scratches and blood from the skin around their eye sockets.
"Hey, you guys are ......" Zhang's hand holding the phone stopped in the air.
He was about to call the hospital for an ambulance, but the people were inexplicably better. If he hadn't seen a lot of people with blood in their eyes, he would definitely think that these people were deliberately playing tricks on him.
"I don't know what's wrong, my eyes suddenly hurt and itched just now......," a lawyer said with palpitations.
"yes, I just wanted to pull my eyes out, it was so uncomfortable......" Another intern who had just laughed out loud had a bloody face.
Zhang Suo's face was full of blood, so he had to say: "Come on, you can't go to work today, give you a day off, go to the hospital for testing, and take care of the wound by the way." ”
Some of the people who were still confused hurriedly went to the hospital.
Xiaomen said with some doubts: "Zhang Suo, could it be caused by air pollution, I heard that some poisonous gas will irritate the eyes......"
"How is it possible, if there is poisonous gas, why are we all okay? are all in the same room......" Zhang Suo looked around, and found that he and a few people were fine.
At the moment of "......", this old Jianghu seemed to think of something, and swallowed hard. "Small Door ......"
"What's the matter?"
"Don't buy the things on that list, I'll buy them myself, these things are too low!" Zhang Suo wiped a cold sweat.
He immediately dialed another phone: "Mr. Wang? Do you have dishes and chopsticks in your store? Yes, great, what are the most high-end dishes and chopsticks? It's too late to order, I want to have them in stock...... Okay, I'll come over and get ...... later."
Then he moved his gaze to the gift that Su Lei had just sent, originally he couldn't look at these things that could only be regarded as stalls, but at this time, it was very different.
He grabbed a red rice ball and ate it: "Well, it tastes good...... and then grabbed another piece of brown sugar crisp and put it in his mouth.
"Xiaomen, I remember that you don't drink, just give me this bottle of two pots......" Zhang Suo opened the cap of the bottle and took a sip.
"......???" Xiaomen looked confused, and question marks were about to pop up on his head.
He knows this Zhang Suo, who is a person who pays attention to life taste. He didn't even look at this kind of stall-level thing, let alone eat it, even if he didn't look at it. Right now, it's like a hungry person who has been hungry for days.
"Zhang Suo, didn't you ask me to take these things back?" Seeing Zhang Suo's whirlwind eating, Xiaomen asked weakly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Xiaomen, I just forgot, this kind of opening ceremony, it is a sign of sincerity to be eaten by the recipient, this is a matter of politeness, a matter of politeness, hahaha......" Zhang laughed dryly: "Come, you eat together......"
So Xiaomen had no choice but to join, and the amount of things sent by Su Lei was originally small, which is what it means. One child can't eat enough, and two adults will naturally be gone in a few moments, leaving only tea and salt in bamboo tubes.
"Take the salt, I'll take the tea back......" Zhang Suo was a little embarrassed and handed the bamboo tube containing the salt to the small door.
"Zhang Suo, shouldn't you use this too?" Xiao Men held the small purse.
It's actually a key pendant, so small that it can only fit a few coins. And when you look at the workmanship and fabric, it's the kind of bargain you buy in the wholesale market.
Boss Su is reluctant to buy a serious wallet, how expensive it is. This "Seven Rites" is originally a symbolic thing, and it would be good if the meaning was fulfilled, so why should it be so expensive?
"Uh, you can play with this......" Zhang's skin is still not thick enough, and he is really embarrassed to grab such a toy-like thing.
"Xiaomen, even if I asked you to buy these things......" He smiled awkwardly, and took out the 20 yuan gold coin he was playing with and handed it to Xiaomen. After all, it's a bit embarrassing for a person like him to pay attention to what he sent out and get it back.
Su Lei gave out a bunch of seven gifts today, and this is the one that was really eaten by the boss on the spot, and the others were received, and some were thrown directly into the trash. Some of them were thrown to employees, and even employees looked down on them and threw them in the trash.
