Chapter 566 Prelude to the Snow Valley Wedding
A group of people came out from the female guest's side to watch. It was not that there were no men at all in the female guest's house. At least all the men from her relatives were there, but they were all outside and in the two Kazakh yurts. All the wooden houses were occupied by women.
I watched a dozen people each take something and put it at the door of the wooden house to show everyone their gifts.
"Wai Jiang, each of them only took one thing. This made it appear that there were many things. The person above them kept shouting, saying that this was a gift from a friend from Shanghai. Then, read the quantity,
Two sheep, twenty kilograms of mutton, twenty kilograms of beef, sixty bottles of liquor, four boxes of fruits, and forty kilograms of vegetables." The young man who led me spoke good Mandarin. I muttered to myself, those two sheep
The legs weigh at most seven or eight kilograms. When they said it, it became twenty. It seems that they would brag about the quantity to save face. No one cares about whether the quantity is correct anyway, but I brought so many things and I really packed them all.
Everyone was stunned. It cost several thousand dollars. Even if they didn't know the price, they at least knew how much the sheep and mutton were worth.
"Adaxi, is this good? Will other people be unhappy after hearing this? How come her family's life is so good? Why is it that a gift from a friend in her family is so heavy?" I was a little worried about meeting relatives and friends of Xiao Sa's family.
Friends are jealous and then miss you. Jealousy is definitely something everyone will have, and this is no exception.
"No, we are happy. Just like we received such a gift. Moreover, when you come again, everyone will welcome you, because you are similar to that good person. What did you call me?
"
"A generous person?"
"Yes, if you are good to us, we will be good to you." After this guy said, I regretted taking out these gifts in front of everyone. Should I prepare gifts for everyone next time I come?
I didn’t want to think too much about it, so I asked about some things about giving wedding gifts. This guy didn’t understand very well. He said that of course some people care about these things, and maybe they will all understand when he gets married. Anyway, I know that Chen Yan’s wedding
It is based on tradition and adds a lot of Chen Yan's own imagination, but it is indeed very lively.
There are two sheep a day, including rice and flour. Although all the men in the village are invited to eat at Chen Yan's house and all the women in the village are eaten at Xiao Sa's house, it is estimated that not everyone will come. Ten larger live sheep are probably
More than 10,000 yuan. As for the rice noodles, onions and carrots used to make pilaf and ramen, they are already a small amount of money. Counting other naan and other food for entertaining, I estimate that the actual cost does not exceed 30,000 yuan.
They don't drink alcohol at their wedding. Chen Yan broke the rule and young people can drink some in his room. However, among the male guests, I didn't see any older ones, so although the wedding was lively,
Compared with the mainland, it should be very simple, but in this poor and remote mountain village, it is already considered a wealthy wedding. Almost no one here can spend 30,000 yuan at once, unless they sell all the sheep in their hands at once
.
When I returned to Chen Yan, he arranged a room for me. Someone hurriedly cleaned the room at the back, moved a small stove from somewhere, set it up, and lit a fire.
Some people also moved some dry branches and wood. This house has become my temporary residence for the past few days. The yurt of Xiao Sa's family is occupied by relatives of Xiao Sa's family. It is said that most of them are from Yili, Zhao.
I don’t remember where Su was or where it was.
"It was not easy for those relatives to come. The nearest road was closed. Most of the relatives of Xiao Sa's family were small cadres in small counties and had some education. So in the end I gave them a sum of money and they came by plane. Fortunately
Not many people come, otherwise I would really go bankrupt." Chen Yan whispered to me.
Although I have my own house, according to the way of hospitality here, I can't just close the door and go to bed. It's best to wait until all the guests have left before closing the door and going to sleep. Otherwise, it will seem a bit unwelcome to others. Fortunately, I
It doesn't matter, I'm a little tired, so I just lie on the kang and look at my phone. People keep coming in and out of my room, but it's okay. Most people are still curious about me and come to visit me. This person has to sit upright.
He kept shaking hands and saying hello to them.
Chen Yan ran over and asked me to give him a name for the tavern he wanted to open. He said that he had just thought about it and wanted to find a dilapidated house nearby that could be renovated and build a hotel with more than a dozen beds.
, earn money for accommodation.
"I'm not afraid that no one will live in it. I'll build a small second floor with beautiful imitation wood. I can live by myself. It's not enough to always live in a tent. The village won't allocate a home site for Xiao Sa. We just rent it ourselves."
The place tore down the original old house and built a new one, made of reinforced concrete, but decorated with wood inside and outside to give it the feel of a wooden house."
"You guys have a better imagination than me. In such a short time, you are in a bar and staying in a hotel. What do you want to do?"
"Again, I have seen photos of Hunza, and the scenery is not much better than here. The apricot flowers and wild apple flowers here are also very beautiful when they are in bloom. I think it is still possible to develop some high-end customers. You all
I have said that the prototype of Shangri-La is actually this area, either the Hunza Valley or a certain valley in the Pamirs. I think this place is also a valley, and it can do some things. It would be great if I could live there by myself. Lao Li,
Mountain king, rancher, low-key rich man, which status do you think is better?"
"It's hard to come up with a name for a pub. If you want to give it something unique, it will look a bit unsophisticated. Using a Mandarin name will make the pub look a lot worse. Furthermore, this place is where Yaoyao lost contact. I'm not afraid if you ask me to name it.
I gave it a bad connotation just to express my feelings?"
"Brother, it's true, you've returned to normal. When I first came here, you couldn't bring yourself to do anything. Your story is also a publicity point. You can tell me whatever you want, and I don't know whether I will use it or not."
"Wangxiang Pavilion means that the owner of the building has come from afar. Toklak means Populus euphratica, and also means the most beautiful tree. Although there is no Populus euphratica here, it means that you can live for three thousand years like Populus euphratica. Yarkand, there is Xiao
It means village. Yarkand River is the mother river of southern Xinjiang. Prague means spring water. What I said are all in Uyghur. Xinghua Valley, Fangfeiyuan, Xueliu Village, when the apricot flowers in this valley bloom, the whole valley is pink.
The world, when the Elaeagnus angustifolia flowers bloom, is filled with a strong fragrance, so it’s okay to call it that. When I came here, I saw the mist in the river valley forming a tree hanging on the branches, which was very beautiful. It can also be called Snow Willow, with a word from Su Shi.
It describes how beautiful women dress up." I said a few words casually.
"It's too vulgar, it's all too vulgar. Think of someone a little more fairy-like." Chen Yan finished smoking a cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the fire through the small hole in the center of the stove cover, and then started again.
I don’t know what I was busy with when I went out.
