Chapter 357: A Lot of Things
After a night at the father-in-law's house, Canghai's family returned to the village the next afternoon, that is, in the afternoon of the third day of the new year, almost all the topics of the whole day revolved around marriage, and early in the morning of the third day of the new year, Wang Zhenzhen picked an auspicious day and encouraged the Canghai family to give the banquet hall of the best hotel in the town. The whole wedding has officially begun.
The family of three returned to the village with some small gifts brought by the old couple, it was already dark, Canghai and Shi Wei sat down after eating, and began to discuss the marriage again. This time, Shi Zhenbang and Wang Zhenzhen were gone, and they were replaced by Qi Feng's family of three as staff officers next to them.
"How many people might come from your side?" Qi Feng asked at Canghai.
Canghai roughly calculated, almost one ten tables of people is enough, college classmates or something can come to half a table at most, the set day is not a long vacation or something, everyone may not have time, many junior and senior high school classmates don't know each other, and there is no need to invite, that is, Li Fang, Zhao Changchun, even if the whole family comes, it is only one or two tables, the villagers have three or four tables here, others like Qi Feng's family, the teacher's family or something, ten tables of people are enough.
"I've counted almost ten tables of people," Canghai began to count with Qi Feng.
Qi Feng thought for a while and said: "Let's add two more tables, just in case you need it, don't have no place to sit when people come, and many people drag their families with their mouths, one or two more tables just in case."
Canghai listened and nodded.
Qi Yue's focus here was on the dress at the wedding scene, and he opened his mouth to Shi Wei and asked, "Do you wear Chinese or Western dresses for marriage?"
Shi Wei said: "Chinese-style, Western-style Bai Canghai feels a little awkward to look at, you can wear it when you take wedding photos, but forget it when you get married."
After speaking, Shi Wei turned her head and glanced at Cang Hai and smiled.
Canghai really has no interest in Western-style wedding dresses, and the white from head to toe makes Canghai always feel that there is a shadow of his own Lao Tzu when he was at the funeral, his eyes are full of white, and he is a little shadowy psychologically. Or we Chinese are dressed in red when we get married, and the red and hot and lively look more pleasant.
"What's wrong with white!" Qi Yue was dissatisfied that Shi Wei couldn't wear a wedding dress to battle, and looked at Canghai and asked.
"We don't have this custom, and we don't have so many foreign cultures, when you get married, you can come and dye your hair white, I don't have to say anything, let's forget it, and a costume is also very national, and it looks festive with a bright red, and it looks white?
Xu Xiaomin listened and said: "Chinese-style weddings are not bad, in the past, all the wedding was a white wedding dress, when we got married, your grandfather was not used to it, because this matter was not happy for several days, besides, now the marriage of Chinese weddings is slowly increasing, and it is also a good thing to restore our Chinese traditions on festive days."
Qi Yue heard this and asked Shi Wei again: "What are you going to do with the dress, do you want to rent or buy?"
Canghai thought for a while and said: "Don't rent, buy it directly, you ask Shi Wei about this, even if you can't wear it in the future, if you can't wear it in the future, it's quite memorable to take it out from time to time over there."
The matter of the dress Canghai here is going to be put in Jiangnan to ask the master to do it, I don't expect to use any Yunjin material used by the emperor in the past, it has to be some grade to be successful, textile or something has always been the strength of the Jiangnan side, not to mention the northwest side, not to mention the horse, and the rocket can't catch up.
"What's the budget?" Qi Yue heard the spirit.
"No budget, four or five hundred thousand is not too little, and one million can be accepted by me," Canghai said with a smile.
Shi Wei turned her head and glared at Canghai when she heard this: "You are crazy!"
After speaking, he turned his head and said to Qi Yue: "Don't listen to his nonsense, a few sets of dresses add up to 200,000 yuan, and the price is also the top of the county seat, and most of the dresses are only worn once, so there is no need to spend so much money on this."
After speaking, he complained to Canghai: "Why are you like a landlord and old money, you have a lot of money in your pocket."
Hearing Shi Wei's complaint, Qi Yue looked up at Canghai and blinked his eyes.
Canghai received Qi Yue's signal, although the two couldn't be husband and wife or anything, but there was still a little tacit understanding that they had been together all year round. So Canghai nodded slightly at Qi Yue.
After a wedding, no matter how you say it, you have to change three sets of dresses, Canghai is a man, there is nothing particular about this, you can wear one set from beginning to end, but Shi Wei can't do it here, how to say that there must be three sets, not only dresses, since it is a Chinese wedding, then the phoenix crown and xia are indispensable, since you don't use someone else, this thing has to be customized.
If the cost of the average family is enough, but Canghai has convulsions during this time, thinking about giving Shi Wei a grand wedding, the 200,000 yuan will definitely not be able to stop.
What does it mean to be rich and capricious? That's it!
Qi Yue received Canghai's signal, and said to Shiwei with a smile: "I'll give me the dress, I'll send you the style of the material or something, and if you're satisfied, you can send the size over."
Shi Wei was a little embarrassed and asked, "Is it too troublesome for you?"
Qi Yue smiled: "It's okay, Canghai and I can be iron buddies, this little thing is wrapped up in me."
Saying that, Qi Yue also reached out and slapped his small chest.
At this time, Canghai heard a movement outside, and the dog in the village barked, so he stood up and said to everyone in the house: "I'll go out and have a look."
As he spoke, Canghai raised his feet and walked out of the door.
When I got to the door, I looked at the place where the barking of the dog came from, and saw several figures standing in the doorway. Walking over, at a distance of more than ten meters, I found that the leader was the newly appointed village head, Miao Zhengwei.
Miao Zhengwei still has a few unfamiliar faces beside him, and there is a strange-looking machine under the feet of several people, the machine is not big, not only is it not big, but it also looks a little ugly, several angle irons are welded into a shelf, there is a small wheel with a diameter of 20 centimeters in front, and there is a small machine on the car, like a small diesel engine.
"Director Miao!" Canghai greeted with a smile.
Miao Zhengwei saw Canghai coming, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Come, Canghai, I just have something to look for you, how about you come and see this watermelon seedling planter we made?"
Canghai walked over quickly when he heard this: "It's made so quickly?"
"This is a prototype, these are the technicians in my friend's factory, come over today to debug, if they use it well, they will produce a few more units, because the output is small, so the future machine is almost like this, although the appearance is a little ugly, but it is easy to use!" Miao Zhengwei said.
Canghai doesn't care how ugly this seedling planter is, as long as it's easy to use and maintain, it doesn't matter if it's good-looking or not.
Came to everyone's side, Canghai carefully observed the ugly thing in front of him, a technician may be afraid that Canghai can't understand, so he began to explain, like what kind of seedling box, conveyor belt or something to Canghai told Canghai again.
Canghai listened to it and felt that the design was very good, hundreds of watermelon seedlings swung into the bucket of the machine, and then a cart was pushed along the straight line, and the machine automatically made a pit on the ground, and then the conveyor belt passed the seedlings in the basket to a claw, and the paw loosened the seedlings and fell into the pit that was tied.
"Sounds pretty good," Canghai said.
The principle is very good, but whether it works well or not is another matter, so Canghai is not full of words.
"We tried it in the factory, this thing has a simple structure, it is improved from the original one-person rice transplanter in our factory, the failure rate is small, but we don't know if it is suitable for the geographical conditions here, so we came to give it a try," the technician said with a smile.
In fact, the factory does not want to take such a small list, and a village is at most about a dozen units, and such a list is not even stuffed between the teeth of the factory, and the cost is not enough to half of the investment.
But there is no way, who let the boss of the factory be Miao Zhengwei's classmate. So these technicians made the things head-on, and followed Miao Zheng to the northwest from the coast to the great New Year.
While chatting, Li Licheng and Cang Shigui also came over, gathered around the machine, and began to ask questions.
Miao Zhengwei saw it and said: "Don't crowd here, it's cold outside, let's go to the house and talk."
Canghai and the others nodded immediately when they heard this, so a group of people went to the house at the east end of the village.
After looking at it for a while, Hu Shijie came over, listened to a few words, and arranged for his two daughters-in-law to go home to cook and entertain a few salesmen from the factory, while Canghai took the opportunity to go back to his home.
Canghai doesn't really want to use this kind of thing, and there are free bird workers on the Fenghuang ditch side, so which seedling planter is used.
When I arrived at the door, I happened to meet Qi Yue coming out of the house.
Seeing that Canghai was about to enter the house, Qi Yue grabbed Canghai: "Come here, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter, can't you go into the house and talk about it?"
Qi Yue dragged Canghai to the study, and then asked, "How much are you going to spend on the dress?"
"Didn't you say it, spend more, you can take Shi Wei's money according to 200,000 yuan, and I will make up for the shortage," Canghai said.
After speaking, he glanced at Qi Yue: "Are you still afraid that I won't give you money?"
"If you don't give me money, I'll detain your car!"
"Let's start, I didn't expect to get married so troublesome, and I have to go to the county seat in two days to order some dishes, alas, in short, there are a lot of things" Canghai thought for a while, although he felt a little headache, but after thinking about it for a lifetime, it was just this time, and it was also a knife to stretch out his head and shrink his head, and his heart was a little calmer.
Qi Yue pursed her lips when she heard this, and muttered, Canghai didn't hear what she said clearly, so she saw Qi Yue turn around and leave the house.
When Canghai returned to his living room, he found that Shi Wei was the only one left in the room, and Shi Wei, who was sitting on the sofa, kept drawing something on the paper with a pen, and kept pressing the calculations next to him while drawing.
"What's it?"
Shi Wei said without raising her head: "Counting the money for the banquet, and the money for the relatives to come over to arrange the hotel at that time, you said that a table of more than 1,000 yuan is not a bit too expensive, we have a banquet of more than 1,000 yuan, what kind of dish does it have to be, and this is not counting cigarettes and alcohol, how can these two add up to two-thirds of the banquet, which is a large amount of expenditure......."
“……”。
Canghai didn't know what to say about her when she heard it, she was happy like a child when she said that it was a big deal, but now when she calculates how much it will cost, she immediately frowns and is reluctant to pay.
Canghai said in his heart: This daughter-in-law is really a good housekeeper.
came to Shi Wei's side and sat down, Canghai stretched out his hand and stroked Shi Wei's forehead, smoothing out Shi Wei's frowning brows.
"It's useless to forget it now, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, you see it's not early today, let's rest early" Canghai said and hugged Shi Wei, and the other arm passed through the crook of the leg and directly hugged Shi Wei from the sofa.
The two of them hadn't reached the door yet, and suddenly the door opened, Qi Yue rushed in, and when she saw the appearance of Canghai and Shi Wei, she said with a smile: "What time is it, you two are a little impatient!"
Shi Wei blushed directly, struggled out of Canghai's arms, and immediately ran into the house.
"I said, can you knock on the door before you come in?" Canghai glanced at Qi Yue with displeasure.
Qi Yue didn't see it, and put the mobile phone in his hand to Canghai's face: "How about you take a look at these sets?"
Canghai glanced at it, looked at it and thought it was very good, so he said: "What's the use of you showing me, this matter has to be Shi Weiding."
"I know it's useless to tell you" Qi Yue threw down a sentence and walked into Canghai's bedroom.
Canghai took a look, and his good interest was ruined by Qi Yue. I can't get into the bedroom, so let's just go out and walk around.
