Chapter 022: Zhiheng Vineyard Picking Ceremony
The listing and picking ceremony of Zhiheng Vineyard is a big event for the entire Sang Zhiheng family.
Just after six o'clock in the morning, Wei Youliang drove his Geely New Emgrand and took Sang Xiufen and his daughter Yuanyuan to his father-in-law's house.
After parking the car, Wei Youliang ran into the yard in a hurry, and his mother-in-law happened to come out.
"Mother, where is Zhiheng?"
"I'll go up the hill at five o'clock."
"Oh, I'll go too."
"Yuanyuan and what about his mother?"
Sang Xiufen and Yuanyuan heard the conversation in the courtyard, so they shouted, "Mother, we are here." ”
"Grandma, grandma, let's eat my uncle's grapes."
While speaking, Sang Xiufen had already led her daughter into the door.
Today, Sang Xiufen and her daughter are dressed up extraordinarily and wearing new clothes, just like the Chinese New Year.
As soon as Zhiheng Niang saw her granddaughter Yuanyuan, she was very happy, and hurriedly beckoned and said: "My Yuanyuan is also here, come on, let grandma hug me." ”
"What, mother, wife, I'll go up the mountain first, I'll pick you up later!"
Sang Xiufen nodded and said, "Okay, Youliang, you go to the mountain and take a look, if there is anything you need help with." ”
Watching Wei Youliang drive away, Zhiheng Niang took Yuanyuan into the house.
Inside the lobby room, there are a lot of paper and silk ingots, as well as two earth red with 10,000 rings.
Because it's a big event, you have to burn paper money to pray for safety, and you also have to set off firecrackers, so please eat.
Sang Xiufen looked at the paper ingots that were not neatly arranged, and immediately bent down to clean them up.
"Mother, is it to order the dishes in the restaurant or stir-fry?"
Because you have to burn paper money to worship the god of wealth and the mountain god, you must have offerings.
"We can't be busy, your brother ordered the dishes of the Ruishan Hotel."
Ruishan Hotel is a mountain village restaurant opened by Guo Ruishan, a villager of Taizi Village.
"That's okay, just let Guo Ruishan send the vegetables to the mountain." Sang Xiufen said.
Zhiheng Niang said: "That's how it is set. ”
Sang Xiufen asked again: "When will you go to invite the big duck wife?" ”
The big duck that Sang Xiufen said is called Qi Ziheng, and his wife is a godmother-in-law. Because you want to worship the god of wealth and wealth, it is very necessary and high-grade to invite a goddess.
"The appointment with your aunt is to go over at ten o'clock in the morning, let her see, and then start burning paper at half past eleven."
Just as the two of them were discussing what to do, there was a call at the door.
When Zhi Hengniang heard this, she hurriedly said: "It's your aunt who is here, let's go out to greet you." ”
Sang Shoucheng has an older sister named Sang Yuling, who married into a family surnamed Huang in a neighboring village, and then had a son and a daughter below.
A woman named An Hong, who is now working for Sang Zhiheng, is Sang Yuling's daughter-in-law.
"My sister is here." Zhiheng Niang greeted the door, and when she saw Sang Yuling, she said with a smile on her face.
An Hong followed behind her mother-in-law, holding a box of ten-year-old wine from Guanghan Palace.
"Auntie will come, and bring something."
Sang Xiufen came empty-handed when she came, and Sang Yuling felt a little embarrassed when she came with wine.
"Zhiheng has a chance, I look happy."
Watching Sang Xiufen take the wine, An Hong said with a smile.
Zhihengniang let Sang Yuling's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the house, and then sat down and started drinking tea and chatting.
At this time, on the mountain, in the Zhiheng vineyard, there were already many people.
Sang Shoucheng never left, Sang Zhiheng went up the mountain at five o'clock, and then their neighbor, who was also his own family, Sang Shouhai also followed Sang Zhiheng's feet to the mountain.
Last time, Sang Shouhai's son Sang Zhihan had acute enteritis, if it weren't for Sang Zhiheng, I'm afraid it wouldn't work, he also knew that on the first day of picking Sang Zhiheng's Zhiheng vineyard, he took a box of wine and pressed a hundred yuan to the mountain.
Then, a little after six o'clock, Wei Youliang followed him up the mountain.
By seven o'clock, one after another, Qi Ying led more than a dozen thin dogs to the scene.
After a few months of domestication, Qi Ying's dozen or so thin dogs are about to grow up, and they are very naughty one by one.
Sang Shouhai was afraid of dogs, and when he saw more than a dozen thin dogs appear in front of him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran into the house where Sang Shoucheng was sleeping next to him.
When he said this, everyone laughed out loud.
At eight o'clock, Qi Jing, Sang Xiuxiu, and Li Ling also came.
Then at ten o'clock, Zhiheng Niang, Zhiheng's aunt Sang Yuling's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Sang Xiufen's mother-in-law, Sang Shouliang, the village secretary of Taizi Village, and Qi Da Duck's wife also came to the mountain.
Thirty or so people gathered, and the mountain suddenly became lively.
Sang Xiufen looked back and forth, left and right, pulled her younger brother to the side, and asked, "Why didn't you let Jiaqi come to be lively?" ”
"I wanted her to come, but she didn't want to come."
Sang Xiufen nodded and didn't continue to ask.
After a while, as soon as the auspicious time arrived, the wife of the big duck, accompanied by several women, held incense in front of the table of the eight immortals where the wine and food were arranged, and said some words of prayer for peace, and then began to burn paper.
The paper silk was burned clean, and the wife of the big duck led everyone to kowtow ten heads in the direction of the Eight Immortals table.
Then, Sang Zhiheng and Wei Youliang respectively lit two red firecrackers with 10,000 rings, and everyone scattered in a hurry.
After the firecrackers went off, everyone was busy bringing the wine and food placed on the table of the Eight Immortals to the house.
This may seem like some superstitious thing, but Sang Zhiheng is happy to do it. It's not that I believe in ghosts and gods, but it's actually quite hilarious, it's just a formality, so why not do it?
Actually, it's part of our culture.
After the ceremony, the drinking began.
Because there are so many people, there will definitely be no place to sit at a table.
So, Sang Xiufen led the female compatriots down the mountain and went to their home.
Besides, a table of dishes was sent from the mountain, and it was not enough.
On the mountain, only the man was left and Qi Ying was drinking.
Sang Shoucheng sat at the top, then the slightly older village party secretary Sang Shouliang, then Sang Shouhai, and then the three juniors Sang Zhiheng, Wei Youliang and Qi Ying.
As soon as everyone sat down, they heard the sound of cars outside.
Sang Shoucheng looked at Sang Zhiheng and said, "Go and see, who is coming." ”
Then, Sang Zhiheng put down the chopsticks he had just picked up and walked out.
Parking on the side of the road was a Volvo, Sang Zhiheng frowned, not thinking about who drove the Volvo among the people he knew.
The car door opened, and a person got out of the Volvo car, Sang Zhiheng looked at it and was happy.
"Brother Zhang! Welcome, welcome! ”
It turned out that the person who came was none other than Zhang Hai, the manager of the Ginza supermarket.
"Hey, it's late, it's late, I'll kowtow first."
Zhang Hai saw that there was burned paper ash on the ground, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"It's all done, no need for it." Sang Zhiheng said while kowtowing to Zhang Hai.
Sang Shoucheng heard the sound of talking outside, so he walked to the door and looked at the stranger who came over.
And Sang Shouliang and Sang Shouhai also walked out.
Zhang Hai got up from the ground, took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it to Sang Zhiheng.
Sang Zhiheng touched the thickness, was startled, and hurriedly said: "Manager Zhang, this, this is too expensive." ”
"Take it! I wish us a happy cooperation in the future! ”
Sang Zhiheng estimated that this thickness would be at least tens of thousands.
"Okay, happy cooperation!"
When he saw the puzzled eyes of the father standing at the door, he hurriedly introduced: "Oh, this is the manager of our Ginza supermarket, Manager Zhang." ”
When Sang Shouliang heard this, he squeezed behind Sang Shoucheng in a big stride, stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Welcome Manager Zhang to our poor country!" ”
Zhang Hai frowned, and said in his heart, who is this person?
"Manager Zhang, this is the village party secretary of our Taizi Village, Sang Shouliang, Sang branch secretary."
Zhang Hai's hand had already been grabbed by Sang Shouliang at this time, so he hurriedly said, "Hello, hello." ”
Sang Shouliang seemed to be a little excited as if he saw his own father, and his eyes were a little crystalline.
"These are ......"
Zhang Hai twitched twice, and found that the village party secretary didn't let go, so he looked at the few people standing behind Sang Shouliang with his eyes and asked.
Sang Zhiheng pulled Sang Shouliang, he let go, and then Sang Zhiheng introduced them one by one: "This is my father, this is my brother-in-law, this is my uncle, and this is my classmate." ”
Zhang Haiyi nodded and shook hands with them, which was enough to give Sang Zhiheng face.
The manager of the Ginza supermarket, for the villagers in a small village, is a big man, and it is really lucky to be able to shake hands with a big man.
After introducing them one by one, Sang Zhiheng said, "Brother Zhang, let's have two drinks?" ”
Zhang Hai waved his hand again and again and said, "I don't have time, next time, I will have a meeting in Quancheng." ”
When Sang Zhiheng heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you really not available?" ”
"I'm really not free, what's that, Zhiheng, I'll go first, and I'll come back to you for a drink when I come back."
"Okay then, then we must be on point, and you must come to me for a drink when you come back."
Sang Shouliang on the side hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Manager Zhang must come, we will be your companion." ”
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"That's okay, Brother Zhang, if you're busy, I won't keep you." Seeing Zhang Hai leave, Sang Zhiheng waved his hand and said.
After the Volvo went away, Wei Youliang hurriedly asked, "Zhiheng, Manager Zhang gave you a very thick red envelope just now." ”
When Sang Shoucheng heard this, he was a little unhappy and said to Wei Youliang: "Go drink!" ”
"Okay, let's drink!"
Then, everyone went back to their rooms and began to drink.
Because it was a happy event, it was a happy event, and everyone drank it to the fullest. The one who drank the most was Sang Zhiheng, because he saw that his old man had drunk too much, so he blocked two tea bowls for him.
To Sang Zhiheng's surprise, Qi Ying's amount of alcohol was really not small, and he drank as much as Sang Shouliang and Sang Shouhai.
What surprised him even more was that Qi Ying didn't seem to have anything to do, and Sang Shouliang had already gone under the table.
Sang Zhiheng and the others had not finished drinking, so An Hong, Li Ling and Qi Jing led the female grape pickers up the mountain.
Qi Jing saw that Sang Shouliang was unconscious, and he picked up the broom angrily and was about to fight, but several people couldn't pull it. Sang Zhiheng unexpectedly found that Sang Shouliang's daughter Sang Xiuxiu was hiding aside, not only did she not get angry because her stepmother beat her father, but she was still a little happy.
