Chapter 470: The Big Scene
Soon the huge crowd arrived at the venue, and there were really a lot of people in this group, counting the newcomers, family members, female soldiers and others, there were directly 14,500 people. As the so-called tens of thousands of people, boundless, this time the team directly pulled out a length of several miles. With the arrival of the crowd, the on-site commanders were also busy, and began to allocate seats according to the groom's team, and various ceremonies were carried out after a while.
Today, the best position in the center of the venue is reserved for the newcomers, and the leading cadres in the factory, as well as the invited superior leaders, are sitting on both sides of the venue, and today's protagonists are the more than 3,000 pairs of newcomers. All are making way for newcomers, today they are the biggest, and all leaders are not as important as them.
After everyone arrived at the venue and sat down, something unexpected happened to Li Zhao, and he directly started the art show, and today he actually brought in a military band. Watching the art show, Li Zhao couldn't help but ask Su Ya next to him: "Is this art troupe our own, or is it invited from outside?" You didn't have a theatrical show in your plan. ”
Li Zhao was really surprised, he didn't know that there was such an arrangement, you must know that Li Zhao was quite puzzled, the reason was very simple, that is, the event started too early, like it was not half past eight until now. But seeing the art show, Li Zhao understood what was going on, and this was directly getting the condolence performances together.
Su Ya said at this time: "Of course, this art troupe is our own, and it has been established for several months, but it is not trained on our side. As for why I didn't write it at the time, didn't I forget, and they weren't on our side, isn't it normal that I didn't remember it for a while? He smiled awkwardly as he spoke.
Then he continued: "Besides, there are many things you don't know, you have to be busy with technical things every day, and you don't have much involvement in the specific management." Let's just talk about going to college this year, don't you know? Some of the recruits we recruited had gone to high school and had already been sent to college. And the cows have arrived, have you heard? But do you know about the construction of the milk powder plant? The milk powder plant is almost starting. ”
Li Zhao listened to Su Ya say this, he really didn't know this, after all, a person's energy is limited, and there is no way to manage everything, so he will participate in the main decision-making and technical matters in the factory. Then he was either drawing every day, or on the way to drawing, and he would work overtime to draw every night.
However, because the milk powder factory directly introduced a full set of Damao's technology, equipment and breeding cattle at that time, Li Zhao did not pay attention to this matter anymore. After all, it is a fully introduced thing, and Da Mao's old-fashioned milk powder is very famous, and it is said that it is still selling well after sixty years, so Li Zhao has no need to care about it. However, I have been busy for so long lately, so if I have time after the wedding, I can go to the farm to see how it is going.
Looking at the show, Li Zhao had to sigh, today's program is still very rich, and there will be some in the future, and it is basically available at this time, especially the allegro of this era, which is really much, and today's program of less than two hours will directly come to four allegro segments, of course, this is also related to the lack of entertainment activities in this era. Just like today's singing program, they are all red songs, and there are no other ones, and the operas are all selected from the eight model operas.
And the dance is mainly such as the Red Women's Army and other song and dance dramas, Li Zhao is very novel, after all, such programs are very rare in the future, compared with these programs in this era, the future Spring Festival Gala is too kitsch, of course, the programs of this era are not as rich and bold as the future. It can be regarded as having its own advantages and disadvantages, but the programs of this era are all positive, which is very good.
The show ended at 10 o'clock, which also marked the official start of the wedding, and this is when the band began to work hard, and the first event was for everyone to stand up and sing the national anthem. The project of singing the national anthem is basically the standard for the beginning of all activities in this era. After the national anthem was sung, it was followed by the speech of the superior leader, but today the matter was simplified, and there was no tirade, mainly to send blessings and encouragement to the work.
Of course, the most important thing is to announce the official discharge of these soldiers, and since there is still a wedding today, the ceremony is very simple, just a military song is played, and then a simple farewell ceremony is carried out. Finally, with the assistance of the bride, the epaulettes and collar badges representing the regular soldiers were removed, and the soldiers participating in the ceremony took them back.
From this time on, these soldiers were officially transferred to the reserves, but the environment they are in now is different from that of ordinary factories, and they still need to go out to drill and train frequently to maintain their normal combat effectiveness.
The third activity is to issue certificates and photos, which will reflect the importance of adequate preparation, because they are prepared in advance according to the team, so as the host reads the names in the order of the team, Li Zhao and Su Ya will also hand over the things of the corresponding team to the master of ceremonies for them to take it. This time, not only their certificates and photos were issued, but also their candy and National Day benefits, and each couple received a large bag of things.
Marriage is a better opportunity for ordinary people to buy sugar in this era, and it is too difficult for ordinary people to get sugar tickets. The newlyweds will be directly issued with two catties of sugar tickets by the civil affairs department for use in marriage. In normal times, it is difficult to get sugar tickets, and this situation will not change in a short period of time.
This time the sugar is bought by the material factory directly entrusted to the wholesale, so it will be more than they buy themselves, in addition to candy, each family also has a pound of brown sugar, which is an additional happy event. You must know that sugar has always been a strategic substance, which can not only give soldiers a quick replenishment of energy in wartime, but also a very good item to stop bleeding and prevent infection. Generally, in the case of trauma, a handful of sugar paste can be applied directly to stop the bleeding quickly.
And because sugar and salt are substances that can produce relatively high osmotic pressure, and they are not toxic, they are substances that can be used for embalming, of course, if a handful of salt is pasted on the wound, it can hurt to death. Because of this nature, white sugar can be used as a good material to prevent wound infection, and the material factory can be regarded as a large amount of money to send out thousands of catties of sugar at a time, and it is difficult to buy so much sugar in ordinary times, even if it is not easy for the army.
Of course, in this era, it doesn't cost much, and today all the expenses add up, and it's only tens of thousands of yuan. This is still the cost of all the personnel of the whole factory, fifty or sixty thousand people, this time not only held a group wedding, but also held a discharge ceremony by the way, although not everyone participated, but the meals were the same.
In this era, the price is not high, but the most troublesome thing is that all the materials are relatively scarce, and it is difficult to raise a large amount of materials.
After everyone has received the certificate and materials, the next step is the formal marriage ceremony, and the ceremony of this era is even simpler, directly bow to the portrait of the leader in the host's command, and the ceremony is completed.
Then the person who presided over the ceremony announced that they were officially husband and wife, and the ceremony was completely completed. After the completion of the ceremony, followed by the second stage of the art show, the military band also played the music, and at this time the meal began, of course, wine was indispensable, but only for the newcomers and leaders.
Watching the ceremony enter the meal time, Li Zhao also relieved his heart, and with the sound of new firecrackers, Li Zhao also began to eat. Today's meal is quite good, although there are only three meat dishes, but they are all hard dishes, one braised pork, the other is large balls, and finally it is stewed, the reason for this is also very simple, it is for fairness.
Braised pork can use up a lot of fatty meat, and the meatballs can basically be put in, after all, the meat is still too little overall, on average, there are only two or three taels per person, and there is a lot of water. Limited resources can only do this to ensure that everyone can eat well, after all, the conditions are too limited.
And this time it is really difficult to serve food, directly serving meals to almost 20,000 people at a time, which is also a very big test for the cooking class. Fortunately, now the material factory has its own ability to produce tableware, otherwise it is really difficult for so many people to do it today, after all, usually, everyone eats with their own lunch boxes, but the wedding banquet can't always be like this, right? However, this time it also made all the participants in the ceremony eat beautifully, and there are not many opportunities to eat so much meat at one time.
And the chef is the head chef, and his grasp of the heat is much stronger than usual. After eating quickly, looking at the person who had wiped all the plates clean, Li Zhao also smiled. This is the characteristic of this era, that is, the real disc action, just like the current venue, all the plates are wiped clean by steamed buns, and the leader's table is not exceptional, and the materials are too lacking.
Soon the host announced the end of the ceremony, and then the personnel of each part left the venue in an orderly manner, which was also arranged in advance, and the right number was seated, so that when leaving, the female soldiers could help each couple take the bride's belongings, take the bride and groom's family, and help send the things to the home, so that the ceremony was completed.
