Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 247

Some people who came to Xiaoya’s family to have a wedding banquet commented: “Is it that valuable?”

"I heard it was four to five million and it didn't even sell."

"It's fake, right? Pearls are not worth much now, and there are many cultured ones."

A knowledgeable person next to him sneered: "Then you have long hair and short knowledge. Melo beads are not cultivated, so they have always been expensive. It is not surprising that it costs millions."

Meile beads, also known as "dragon beads" or "flame beads", are round in shape and come from conch bodies, so they cannot be cultivated artificially.

Its composition is similar to that of most shellfish, including aggregates of calcite and aragonite microcrystals. Its color ranges from orange-red, orange, yellow, yellowish brown to nearly white. It has a crystal-clear appearance of ceramics, flame pattern structure, and irregular and oval shapes. They range from egg-shaped to egg-shaped, and round ones are usually more valuable.

“It is said that it is extremely difficult to produce rare and precious Melo beads. The chance of finding them from conch is one in a few thousand, and the chance of being able to fully mine them into large-sized and high-quality pearls is even lower.

So, if you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense and appear ignorant. "

The two people just discussed immediately shut their mouths.

After hearing this, the people around were amazed.

One bead costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, so the cost of this wedding is also quite high.

Although the man was married for the second time, Xiaoya was not too young, and with her sincerity, they were happy to marry off their daughter! It’s hard to find such a high-quality second-married man!

A young man who followed Zhang Yaohua and the others to pick up the bride also heard everyone's discussion.

He smiled and said: "Brother, you really know a lot. Merlot beads are indeed very rare. I have never found one since I was a child living by the sea.

Brother Hui's piece was found at sea. Both the size and color are quite good. It's normal for it to be a bit expensive. "

Before, he went out of his way to learn about it, knowing that the value of Melo beads depends on the degree of flame pattern coverage on the surface, the number, shape and color of white spots.

He told everyone that usually, the color of Merlot beads can be white or light yellow to orange, and the bright orange color is the most valuable.

Because they are natural pearls, Melo beads can take on various shapes, such as nearly round, oval, button, and baroque. The rounder the shape, the higher the price.

In addition, the flame pattern makes each Merlot unique.

Densely arranged flame patterns can be observed on its surface covering most areas of the Melo beads, which greatly increases its value.

"Brother, you and the groom are from the same village?"

"Yes! Brother Hui is a very nice person." Axing praised.

Today is someone's big day. Even if there is some holiday, you still have to give a few compliments to someone who has given you enough respect. Not to mention that Brother Hui is really good to them, and he is also famous for his good temper in the village.

"Yeah! I can see it." The onlookers nodded.

"By the way, so that bead is a pearl? I thought it wasn't!"

Ah Xing: "It's a pearl. There are many kinds of pearls. This kind is a conch pearl."

He introduced that there is a very special variety of pearls, which are conch pearls. Unlike common South Sea pearls and Tahitian pearls, conch beads do not grow from oysters, but from conches.

Compared with oysters, conches are more difficult to grow pearls and the conditions are more demanding, so it is extremely rare to find conch beads. Nowadays, conch beads are basically grown naturally, rather than cultivated like oysters.

"Even if it is a conch bead, there is more than one kind." Axing added.

It’s just that Melo beads are known as the most valuable variety in the world in the conch pearl market.

Others expressed that they had learned a lot.

Axing continued to brag to everyone, telling some stories about their trip to the sea, such as what rare treasures there were on the seabed, what they had picked up, etc.

Of course, there were some unspeakable things, but he stopped in time and didn't blow himself up.

The relatives on the bride's side were a little envious when they learned that the standard of wine served on the groom's side was so high.

Aolong, snow crab, etc., sound very high-end at first glance.

Zhang Yaohua came over at this time and patted Ah Xing: "Stop bragging."

Axing smiled bitterly: "Brother Hua, I'm not bragging either!"

Xiaoya's relatives asked jokingly: "Is there really a big lobster? Is there still room in the wedding car? If so, I would also like to have a big meal with you."

What can Zhang Yaohua say?

He could only say with a smile: "If you want to go, there must be a seat. If there is not enough space, just ask! After drinking, we will also be responsible for taking you back."

When everyone heard this, everyone wanted to go.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a nice meal for free?

Of course, I will also have a meal here later.

They can also serve as a send-off team!

When a daughter gets married, her natal family invites two men to escort her to her husband's house, which is commonly known as sending off the bride.

Usually it is the uncle, uncle or cousin of the married person. After the bride and groom arrives at the groom's side, they have to wait for the groom to send someone to pick them up before they can enter the house. When eating, the two of them usually sit at two tables, and the groom sends someone to accompany them to the banquet.

Generally speaking, on the day of the wedding, when the groom comes to pick up the bride, the number of cars that come is usually an odd number, and the mother's family makes up the even number, and there is no turning back.

That is to say, the number of people receiving relatives should be odd, and the number of people sending relatives should also be odd, so that odd numbers can be used to make even numbers.

If in ancient times, when a woman got married, she would be carried to her husband's house in a sedan. Along the way, there would be people from her mother's family at the four corners of the sedan to see the bride off. These four people were all men, and they could be their elders, uncles, uncles, etc. ; It can also be a younger brother, cousin, etc. who is of the same generation as the bride.

The men escorting the bride not only shows that the woman attaches great importance to the wedding, but also shows that the woman's family understands etiquette.

After getting to know the bride’s relatives and friends, giving out wedding candies and cigarettes, etc., the banquet began.

While others are eating, the photographer has to be busy.

Ah Hui learned that the queue for sending off his bride had grown larger and there were not enough places, so he wanted to make a phone call to make arrangements.

"Take care of yourself! We will take care of these things." Zhang Yaohua said to him.

He had already called a car temporarily and just called the wedding company directly.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

During the meal, Ah Fai solemnly introduced Zhang Yaohua to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Obviously, the two of them had also heard of Zhang Yaohua, and Xiaoya told them frequently. I know that this person is a noble person, and it is because of this person that Ah Hui is where he is today.

Therefore, they were very enthusiastic about Zhang Yaohua, and even brought their son and daughter over to get to know each other, so that Zhang Yaohua could take care of them in the future.

Xiaoya also has a younger brother and a younger sister. The younger brother just graduated and found a job in sales. My sister is still studying and is about to graduate.

"Uncle, auntie! You're welcome. Ah Hui and I have been brothers since childhood, so we don't have to worry about it so much.

Ah Le, Xiao Hui, right? Why do you need me to take care of you? Your brother-in-law is very powerful now, don’t worry! He has plans for the future. "Zhang Yaohua will not take away all the performance opportunities from Ah Fai.

Ah Hui is not short of money now. If he wants to start other businesses, it will not be difficult to recruit his brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Ah Hui said to Zhang Yaohua: "I really need your care, I plan to let them come to our place to engage in the jewelry industry. I can provide the funds, but I need you to say hello."

Sometimes you can't get things done if you have money, and you can't do it without some connections. If you want to cooperate with a jewelry company like Zhang Yaohua's eldest sister, Zhang Yaohua must speak up. Otherwise, other jewelry companies will not tolerate you!

How old are you?

In fact, if my brother-in-law can endure hardships, going fishing with him can be a good job and make money quickly. But one look at my brother-in-law's behavior, and I knew he was someone who couldn't bear hardships.

So Ah Hui thought of letting him make jewelry. After his sister-in-law graduates in two years, they can work together.

Zhang Yaohua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's a small matter, I'll talk to Mr. Gao about it then."

"Why don't you thank Brother Hua?" Ah Hui quickly reminded him when he saw that his brother-in-law was still holding on.

Xiaoya's parents also quickly pushed their son and daughter to make them stand out.

"Thank you, Brother Hua!"

Zhang Yaohua waved his hand: "You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Ah Hui's brother-in-law was very happy and felt that he could save himself many years of struggle. At this moment, he was really grateful to his eldest sister and brother-in-law.

So lucky.

He works in sales and is very popular, especially for newcomers like him. Moreover, the salary was still low, so he really didn’t want to work anymore. But his parents kept feeding him chicken soup, telling him that society was like this, and asked him to continue to persist and so on.

Now, he can fight with the people in the company and fire the boss directly.

Originally, the company did not allow him to ask for leave. When my brother-in-law heard this, he thought, "Is this okay?" Let him resign and arrange for him to do something else after a while.

With the support of his brother-in-law, he naturally quit.

On the day he resigned, he felt so good. The manager who was usually very good at training people was left speechless by him. Those female colleagues looked at him differently.

When he left, the whole company knew about him.

Xiaohui was equally excited.

She understood that after graduation, she would not have to look for a job like everyone else. The starting line for entering society is much higher than other students.

Shui Wang laughed at the side and said: "Let's have a drink with Brother Hua! Can Ah Le drink? It's a pity that you are not the material to go to sea. Otherwise, going to sea with us would be better than any other job."

Ah Le's father immediately poured wine into his son's glass.

"Hurry up and give you a drink, Brother Hua."

Although A Le doesn't drink, he made an exception this time. After taking a sip, I kept coughing and almost vomited it out.

Zhang Yaohua stopped me for a moment and said casually: "Just feel free to do it. Your brother-in-law understands me, so there's no need to do that."

After eating, I checked the time and it was almost time to go out.

When a bride goes out, she usually has to pay attention to a lot of etiquette, such as holding a red umbrella and so on.

There are many sayings about the red umbrella. One of them is that the homophony of "san" is "san", and the meaning of "open umbrella" is also the meaning of "spreading branches and loose leaves", which means blessing the bride to bloom branches for her husband's family as soon as possible after getting married. Loose leaves, continuing the opponent's bloodline.

There is also a saying that umbrellas are a kind of magic weapon in traditional religious culture and can exorcise evil spirits. Therefore, if you hold an umbrella when you go out, you can drive away some of the evil spirits, which can protect you. Bride's safety.

In some places, brides still cry when they go out. I heard that they still have to cry.

There is a folk saying that the bride will not cry until she cries. The more she cries, the more she cries. The louder she cries, the more she cries. But here, they don't have this particularity, and it's okay not to cry.

"What are you looking at?"

"No, I don't know. Brides' dresses usually don't have pockets."

"It's normal! We have a saying over there that if the bride's clothes have pockets, she may bring her family's wealth or luck with her in the pockets."

After a series of etiquette, those who saw off and picked up the bride got on the bus one after another.

Among the people sending the bride off, there are two relatives who cannot accompany her, and that is the aunt and sister-in-law.

Because the homophone for aunt is Gu, which means lonely and widowed, and the homophone for sister-in-law is sweep, which is not a very good sign.

When we arrived at Shalang Village, it was lively.

Those who saw the bride off saw the villa of the groom's family and finally knew the strength of the groom's family. They all sighed, Xiaoya married well!

"Island owner, can we come and have a drink?" a tourist asked outside.

Although this is not his own home or Zhang Yaohua's wedding banquet, Zhang Yaohua can still decide what to treat everyone to.

"Welcome! Just find a seat inside and you can eat later."

Ah Hui took the bride and distributed wedding candies, peanuts, cigarettes, etc. to everyone. He also noticed this and shouted: "Come in, everyone! You're welcome."

Seeing the groom say this, those tourists took the red envelopes and went to the side to register.

He also didn't accept the red envelopes, mainly because Ah Hui's family was not short of money right now, so they didn't think about getting some blood back for themselves by accepting red envelopes.

In addition, it also means it is troublesome. After all, they don’t have the custom of taking out red envelopes here. The exact amount depends on each family’s decision.

Many take half.

When people come to celebrate, the person hosting the banquet also wants to send happiness to others, so some should be left behind and not all taken away.

"Ah! Don't you charge any money?" Some tourists were surprised.

When they saw the red envelope handed over to them, they just drew a stroke on it and accepted it.

"No, please find a seat inside. You're welcome!" The person who did the registration was the old principal of the village. Ah Hui spent a lot of effort to ask him to come forward.

The old principal is particularly dignified when he is in charge.

The tourists were talking a lot and once again brought up the custom of giving red envelopes.

They all feel that South China is better, there are not so many comparisons, and there is no pressure to drink wedding wine.

"You don't know that I lost money in business last year and I didn't dare to go home. A lot of people invited me to a wedding banquet, but I didn't dare to reply."

"Isn't it?"

"What's wrong? Where we are, the wedding banquet and red envelopes are at least a thousand or more. If you have a good relationship, they can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands."

"Damn it! Are you so rich there?"

"Then if you get married, you not only don't have to spend money but you also make money?"

"Otherwise, why do you think some of our people are trying to arrange wedding banquets? They do it no matter how old their son is. They simply treat wedding banquets as a way to make money."

When the others heard this, they were also convinced.

You can still make money by hosting banquets. It’s really a great experience!
