In the morning, when Liu Rui got up to make wine, he heard a festive and melodious suona sound from the village below the mountain, which made the originally quiet morning a little more lively.

Looking down from the mountain, the lights flickered and blurred in the thick fog, as if they were still sleeping. At this time, the loud suona sound is like the joyful cry of countless people, breaking the boundaries of time and space, making people feel refreshed and sleepy.

In Qingshan, whether it is a wedding or funeral, there is a custom of blowing suona.

Suona is a kind of folk musical instrument that originated in the north, and has formed a variety of ways of use after being spread in different regions. In the Qingshan area, suona performance rarely appears in formal theatrical performances, but can often be seen in some weddings and funerals.

Whenever the suona sounds, people can judge whether this family is doing a happy event or a white event just by the difference in tone?

The low suona sound is just like the voice of the bereaved family, and the suona hand seems to be using such a way to express people's feelings for the deceased and their reluctant nostalgia. Every time such a sound echoes in the village, people will know that another old man has left this world. Listening to the mournful suona, people will unconsciously slow down and lower their words to show respect for the deceased.

The same suona, the same suona hand, but different tunes can express two completely different meanings, and the big gap is undoubtedly surprising.

The festive and cheerful suona sound represents the joyful mood of the main family, high-pitched and loud, straight through the sky, phoenix and other traditional folk arrangements are enthusiastic, which is very suitable for marriage occasions. In Qingshan, when getting married, only the man's family will invite the suona master, from the bride price to the marriage, the suona master will participate in the whole process, which has become an indispensable element of the wedding.

The top suona master, in addition to the necessary rest time such as eating and drinking, is blowing the suona in his hand almost all the time, and the large lung capacity is incomprehensible to others. Some diligent and dedicated suona hands can always be welcomed by the main family, and the itinerary is full.

When Liu Rui went to other people's houses to enjoy wine when he was a child, he always liked to hang around in front of the suona master, hoping to learn some blowing skills. After all, after learning leaf blowing with Zhang Zhenzu, Liu Rui developed a strong interest in various musical instruments, and he would unconsciously want to learn when he had the opportunity to do so in the future.

Unlike the relatively simple situation of blowing leaves, blowing suona requires more skills and more emotions to perfectly express the atmosphere of the current occasion through a small suona. Over time, Liu Rui slowly learned to play suona, and he also had a certain understanding of some wedding and funeral customs in Qingshan Village.

In the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the number of people holding weddings near Liang Village is gradually increasing, and from time to time you can hear the loud sound of suona echoing in the sky above the village, stimulating people's eardrums and nerves.

For children in rural areas, being able to drink wedding wine is a thing worth celebrating, just like a festival. Liu Rui remembers that when he was a child, he could follow his parents to drink happy wine, and he always had to change into the best clothes, clean up, and go out happily. Sometimes, in order to go to the house of relatives who are farther away to drink wine, they will even prepare new clothes for the children.

Drinking wine, wearing new clothes, having delicious snacks, and watching the excitement are undoubtedly quite attractive to dolls below the third grade of elementary school.

However, it is a good thing for a little doll, but in the eyes of adults, it is not necessarily so happy.

After all, going to drink wine is not only about paying a gift money, but also about costing up and sometimes leaving the farm work in the field, which is really a little distressing. However, in the countryside, human contacts are naturally quite frequent, and there are some things that you can't hide from if you want to. The relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts, the third uncle and the fourth aunt can all get involved in the relationship, and every time after autumn, the number of wedding cards in every household has also risen sharply, and the heavier and heavier comparison wind has also made the farmers bear more human debts.

Therefore, the farmers jokingly refer to the wedding card as a fine, and going to drink the wedding wine becomes a fine.

However, not all people are opposed to the wedding held in a group, and the Liu family is looking forward to the arrival of the late autumn and winter seasons every year because of the expansion of rice wine sales. At this time, it is the best season for rice wine in Liujia Distillery, and often the rice wine that has just come out of the pot will be bought by customers waiting at home.

During this time, the brewery had to brew 200 catties of rice every year, which was enough to supply the county's food stalls, nearby grocery stores, and temporary orders for wedding banquets. Because Qingshan people prefer rice wine with a relatively low degree, most of the rice wine produced by Liujia Distillery is about 20 degrees, mellow and delicious, even if you are drunk, you will not easily get on it.

Nowadays, more than 400 and 500 catties of rice wine leave the Liu family's compound every day and head towards their destination. Fortunately, Ma Changquan will help bring more than 100 catties of rice wine to the county seat every day, which invisibly reduces Liu Rui's burden and allows him to concentrate on delivering goods in Qingyun.

Rao is like this, Liu Rui also rides a motorcycle around the world every day, delivering rice wine to grocery stores and people who make wedding wine, and has little free time.

No, like today, in addition to the fixed orders from several grocery stores, I also have to send 100 catties of rice wine to each of the two married families at the foot of the mountain, and the rice wine at home is a bit in short supply.

Today's hot market coupled with the mellow taste brought by the space spring water has made the reputation of Liu's rice wine more well-known in Qingyun and even Qingshan County, and more and more food stalls have begun to pay attention to the production of Liu's wine shop and compete for orders.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Liu Rui decided to speed up the pace of expansion of the winery, and strive for the new winery to be put into use before the Spring Festival to meet the needs of the market. Judging from the current situation, the construction of the new distillery has entered the right track, and it is expected that the project can be completed on time as planned by Liu Rui.

Listening to the bursts of suona sound coming from the bottom of the mountain, Liu Rui felt that his hands and feet were a little light, and he gently hummed the cheerful rhythm of suona in his mouth, feeling that life was so beautiful.

In Liu Rui's view, since the acquisition of Shennong space, everything has become much smoother, whether it is winemaking, planting or other things, they are all proceeding in an orderly manner and moving in a better direction. Maybe after having a cheat like Shennong Space, Liu Rui is still satisfied with making a small fuss in his hometown, and he feels a little violent. But watching life move in the direction you envisioned step by step, that kind of satisfaction is not something that can be obtained with a lot of money!

Happiness comes from the touching of life!
