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, stools and tables swaying left and right, the key is that the two earthen stoves and the gas stove in the kitchen are used, and the four tables cannot be opened at the same time.

And don't look at the dishes, although there are many dishes, but if they are clamped by many pairs of chopsticks, they will inevitably become a piece of confusion. In addition, when the wind blows occasionally, there is a little soil on the table, and it is really difficult to have any good appetite.

However, the family banquet-style wedding of the common people also has a special benefit. That's festive, lively.

Don't look at the sedan chair, hijab, "heaven and earth yards" and other exquisiteness, and those extremely cumbersome ceremonies have long since died out quickly, but the rituals at the wedding banquet are not simple.

"Shrimp crawler" and Xiang Hong's wedding are roughly divided into the following links.

1. Bow.

Two people should bow three times to the leader, three to the parents, three to the officiant, three to the guests, three to each other, and finally the master of ceremonies deliberately said triumphantly, "Give me three bows!"

In this way, the two of them were dizzy and calculated, and they always had to bow more than eighteen times in total.

2. Congratulatory speech by the officiant. Parents speak. Congratulations to the guests.

There is really nothing to say about these speeches, and they are basically two sentences spoken by decent figures among the leaders of the unit, parents, elders, relatives and friends, and the content is mainly to praise and bless the newcomers. In this era, this link is quite serious, the shorter it is, the more refined it is, and the more popular it is.

3. Ask the bride and groom to "honestly explain" about their love experience.

This part is very interesting. Because there will definitely be people who will deliberately interrogate some details.

The big guys are also happy to see a pair of newcomers with red faces and red ears, coaxing the seedlings together.

Anyway, if you don't force the groom and bride to the point of being red-faced, embarrassed, and frequently begging for mercy, you will never let them pass.

Fourth, noisy.

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

The more traditional way is to have two couples share a piece of candy or an apple.

Although newcomers can also be embarrassed, this is not the same as asking questions that people are ashamed to ask. There are also many people participating in the interaction, and there is also the encouragement of everyone's applause, which contains a sense of fun and happiness in it.

And precisely because of the "explanation" just now as a foreshadowing, there will be no stage fright.

In short, although the arrangements for the dining were not satisfactory, Hong Yanwu and the others watched the couple do the entire wedding steps in the crackling firecrackers, and they were entertained by everyone, which was still very interesting and happy.

Besides, wine can be drunk openly. As long as the men can push the cup and change the lamp, they can overcome everything else, and they can still have a lot of fun.

Hong Yanwu was only afraid of wronging the "sugar heart", but he didn't see her eat a few bites.

But he asked with concern, but "Sugar Heart" held his hand under the table, and poured wine and food very gently. Apparently to indicate that she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

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

Needless to say, after all the ceremonies are over, the bride and groom have to cheer up, continue to socialize with relatives and friends of the banquet, and toast and smoke one by one.

And because of the close relationship, the buddies can get along with each other, and the bride and groom are the last to come over at the table of "sea bumpers".

Especially "Old Knife Fish" and "General" saw that the two of them were exhausted, and they didn't make it difficult for them. Calling on everyone to just raise a glass together and touch it, the newlyweds are spared the drudgery.

Seeing that the "sea bumpers" were so considerate, the "shrimp crawlers" and Xiang Hong were of course quite moved.

Not to mention anything else, compared with the "important people" who sent pillow towels, quilts, sheets, basins, and steamers, these "sea bumpers" who "can't get on the table", everyone gave a gift of 100 yuan. "Old Knife Fish" and "General" gave more, and one person paid 200.

The young couple has already discussed, take it from the people, and use it for the people. If you treat anyone badly, you can't treat these buddies and brothers who fight together and share weal and benement.

So "Shrimp Crawler" said to everyone during the banquet, "The hospitality is not good, everyone should be more tolerant." I know you're not having fun, so let's make up for it later. We'll go back and rest for a while, and we'll meet at seven o'clock in the evening, and we'll invite everyone to go and eat foreign meat!

In this way, the evening really ushered in the moment when the "sea bumpers" gathered together to celebrate the young couple.

Except for the "old swordfish", the old couple are really tired and tired, and they really don't want to mix with the young people, and the rest are all together.

And the place where "Shrimp Crawler" and Xiang Hong took everyone to go was actually a ten-story and dazzling building by the sea. It's a pleasant surprise.

Because this brightly lit building is not only located in the best part of the coast, but also has a clear view of the sea from above. On the roof of the building, there is still a scene of staggered figures and loud joy.

Below, you can see a fairly large platform on the roof, surrounded by a unique stone balustrade.

At the top of the platform is a small pavilion cushioned by a raised platform, and in the pavilion is a playing band.

In addition, the figure under the band swayed. There were also waiters in red dresses with curly sideburns walking around, holding glasses of various colors.

This is definitely a place for immortals to stay, except that Hong Yanwu knows what is going on inside, and the "sea bumpers" are dumbfounded when they see it.

At this time, Xiang Hong proudly told everyone that this was the newly built hotel "Guanhai Building". One of her sisters came once and said that the food, drink, shelter, and use inside were all not available outside. It's just that things are too expensive. But we have silver, and today the two of them have a treat. Let's go in and have fun.

When you hear this, can you still bear it?

After a cheer, they all hurried inside.

But one of the guys guarding the door didn't let the "sea bumpers" enter, and insisted that each of them show their work cards and letters of introduction.

Of course you don't. was in a hurry, but when he saw it, the two yellow-haired and green-eyed foreign devils next to him were swaggering and running rampant at will.

And the boy not only didn't care, but opened the door diligently, wagging his tail like a dog.

So the "sea bumpers" were collectively furious. I asked the gatekeeper what the identities of the two foreigners were just now?

Although the guy couldn't speak, he stubbornly insisted. He even said arrogantly, "This is a foreign-related hotel that receives foreign guests." Of course, foreigners don't need to check. There are so many people in Bencheng, if they all come here, then why don't they blow up here?"

The "sea bumpers" couldn't hold back anymore and roared in unison.

"This is Bencheng, we are all from Bencheng! This is not a fucking colony for a long time, is the foreigner your father or your mother?"

Maybe it's the righteousness, or maybe it's the anger of the masses. The janitor was furious at that time, he was no longer unscrupulous, but broke out in a cold sweat.

Thanks to an old guy running out in a hurry, otherwise this kid will really be beaten if he doesn't get it right.

The old guy seems to be in charge here. His attitude is completely different from that of the janitor, with a smile on his face, very kind.

After figuring out the dispute, he hurried to play a round.

"Anyone can enter here, and of course the revolutionary masses in Bencheng can enter. There are no foreigners at the door, and of course we natives will not be checked. It's just that it's high-end luxury and the charge is very high......"

Almost at the same time, the "sea bumpers" shouted, "We have money!"

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

The old fellow continued to make a patient appearance, though. But Hong Yanwu could see from his smile that he was deliberately setting a trap in his language.

Sure enough, these unfamiliar words made the "sea bumpers" half shorter, and they looked at each other and lost their confidence.

For this reason, the old fellow and the young man were both happy and proud.

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

He deliberately made a look of incomprehension to protest on behalf of the "sea bumpers".

"Can't we use renminbi? Isn't it true that this hotel only accepts foreign money? Is there still a place on our own land that does not allow us to use our own money?"

These "can't" are too scary. The old fellow was so anxious that he couldn't resist it.

"Yes, yes, yes. But you can charge two dollars for a cup of coffee. It is stipulated that the renminbi is 30 percent more expensive than foreign currencies......"

The old guy did change his tune and back down, but he obviously still had the last glimmer of hope, that is, he wanted this guy to retreat because of the high price.

He definitely didn't expect that as soon as he let him go, all the "sea bumpers" would swarm inside, shouting excitedly.

"As long as the money in your country is easy to use, it doesn't matter how it is!".

With this kind of arrogant statement, the old guy couldn't help but swallow and spit in surprise, and didn't dare to stop again.

But the most embarrassing thing is the janitor.

Hong Yanwu didn't spare him, passed by him, smiled when he opened the door, and said something very bad.

"Comrade, I understand correctly, foreigners call your kind of work a 'doorman'. The scope of your duties is limited to opening the door and taking the luggage for the guests, right? Now, how can you let us open the door and go in by ourselves? But it doesn't matter, our own people, we don't have the same knowledge as you. But please remember that foreign-related venues are not just for foreign guests. Guests are also entitled to your services. Next time, don't get your job job wrong, it's a barricade when it's time to open the door!"

Hey, just these few sentences, don't say anything about relief, it's quite level. As soon as you listen to it, you are an expert who understands the inside story of foreign-related hotels.

The gatekeeper was blushing and speechless. Even the old guy was honestly frightened, and said bluntly, "Accept criticism." ”

Looking at that look, I'm afraid they really misunderstood that Hong Yanwu was a big man.

However, when the goal was achieved, Hong Yanwu was not interested in paying attention to them anymore, and entered the lobby with a smiling and proud "sugar heart".

And when the "sea bumpers" inside heard his words, they were already happy, and they quarreled again.

"Hey, Xiao Wu, it's still you who speak. It's all money, so why treat it differently?"

"Haha, don't bully us for not understanding. With you, the big man in the capital, no one can be stunned by us. ”

"Hmph, good dogs don't get in the way. That is, Yang Zi went back to the capital. If he wants to be there, let him transfer the troops, and I see who dares to let us in......"

The last sentence came out of the door clearly, and the old guy and the doorkeeper were even more frightened, and their faces turned white.
