Chapter 421: Eight Great Monsters in Guanzhong

"Well, what do you want to ask?" Zhang Taiping said with a smile, he seemed very patient with this girl, and wondered if it was because of those two dimples.

"No more." Zhang Xiaoqing shook his head.

Zhang Taiping stood up: "Then work."

Zhang Xiaoqing and Ye Ling stood up together and said, "How to do it? Let me help."

"It's nothing, you don't need to do anything, just watch from the side." Zhang Taiping shook his head and said.

"I'd better find something to help and experience it." Zhang Xiaoqing took off the bag and the camera hanging around his neck and hung them on the peach tree next to him.

Zhang Taiping pointed behind him and said: "Then you and Ye Ling put the flower seeds together." So Zhang Taiping used it in front?A small hole or a shallow trench was dug at the head, and two girls, one big and one small, put the seeds in it and then gently covered it with a layer of soil.

Around noon, Zhang Taiping finished his morning work and went down the mountain with two girls.In one morning, I just cleaned up the land around the three wooden houses and planted flowers and trees.

"Have you been to the hot spring?" Zhang Taiping carried it?asked with the head and shovel lighting a cigarette.

Zhang Xiaoqing wrinkled her nose, and a freckle on the tip of her nose seemed to be revived, making her even more playful and cute: "Not yet, I just wandered around the orchard, the lavender field, and the pond in the morning, and had dinner at noon Then go to the hot spring to do an exclusive interview."

"If you need any help, just let me know." Zhang Taiping said.

"Yes." Zhang Xiaoqing nodded, "There is just one thing that needs your help."

"What is it?" Zhang Taiping snuffed out the end of his cigarette.

Zhang Xiaoqing said: "I heard that Mr. Zhang is a well-known old Chinese master of traditional Chinese medicine. I want to do an exclusive interview with him. It will not only be a good topic to publicize, but also attract many patients to transfer a lot of money."

Zhang Taiping was a little embarrassed, just now he said that if he had any problems, he would come to him, but he couldn't solve the first problem he raised.He could only say cheekily, "This may not be of any help."

"why?"

Zhang Taiping explained: "Now there are already a lot of people coming to see the doctor. The old man is busy from morning to night and has no time to relax. He is already over 90 years old. He really dare not go on like this. If we spread the word If more people are attracted to see the doctor, I am afraid that the old man's body will not be able to bear it."

Zhang Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue: "I'm so old, I really can't tell."

When I got to the foot of the mountain, I met two little girls who were leading a lion to go up the mountain.

"Father," "Godfather," "It's time to eat." The two little girls shouted together.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "I just came down from the mountain, and I was going to go home for dinner."

"Come on, stand together holding hands, and take a few photos of the two of you." Zhang Xiaoqing handed the basket in his hand to Zhang Taiping, picked up the camera and said.

The two little girls held hands and stood under the shade of the tree, and the camera recorded it with the big tree behind them.Zhang Taiping went over to take a look, both Yaya and Tiantian were very photogenic, they looked even cuter together standing together, and there was a huge dog squatting beside it, with its mouth open and its tongue sticking out, looking naive.

Zhang Xiaoqing said: "This is the best photo I took today." Then he asked the two little girls to do some cute moves.

After taking the photo, Zhang Taiping asked: "Have you finished taking pictures of the bride and groom?"

Yaya replied: "Not yet, but they don't shoot now, they are all in the backyard of our house, they say they will take a rest in the afternoon after eating."

Lunch is lazy mochiko.The so-called "lazy" refers to rolling the noodles to a thickness of half a centimeter, and cutting them into diamond shapes the size of mochi seeds with a knife.This meal is simple to make, and it is suitable for such a big pot meal with many people.It is also a novelty for these girls and boys in the city to stir-fry some stewed vegetables and pour them in.

There were a lot of people, so Zhang Taiping brought out two Eight Immortals tables and placed them under the osmanthus tree in the middle courtyard during the meal.

Zhang Xiaoqing said that she hadn't been to the backyard before, so she volunteered to go to the backyard and ask those people to come to eat in front, but she lost herself when she was only called.

Zhang Taiping asked: "Why don't you see Zhang Xiaoqing?"

Gao Liwei replied with a smile: "She entered the backyard and was fascinated. She has committed an occupational disease. Where is the license now?"

Ye Ling next to him was about to go over to call after hearing this, when Zhang Xiaoqing came back by himself, looking at the photos taken in the camera while walking.

After seeing Zhang Taiping, he immediately said pleasantly: "This backyard is really like a paradise in the book, there are actually watermelons growing in the air."

"Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "Holding watermelons is no different from watermelons growing on the ground, it's just that the vines are drawn into the air with a shelf. "

"And that gourd." Zhang Xiaoqing continued, "When it grows up, give me one to hold water or wine, and put it on the waist like the wine fairy in "Sword"."

"Hehe, I will give you one if I give you one." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.

A group of young people sat at almost two tables, Zhang Taiping did not sit with them, but squatted under the eaves of the front yard with a bowl in his hand and a pot helmet in his hand.

After a while, Zhang Xiaoqing also came out with a bowl, and saw that there was a bench next to him, squatting instead of sitting, and asked strangely, "Why don't you sit on the bench?"

Zhang Taiping asked: "Aren't you from Shaanxi?"

Zhang Xiaoqing shook his head: "No, how did you know?"

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "Most Shaanxi people have a habit of squatting to eat and not sitting on a bench. It is called one of the Eight Great Monsters of Shaanxi, and everyone in Shaanxi knows it. "

"The Eight Great Monsters of Shaanxi?" Zhang Xiaoqing came interested, "Tell me what you have." He didn't sit on the bench either, but imitated Zhang Taiping and sat under the eaves with a bowl in his hand.

It is worth mentioning that although it is often called the "Eight Great Monsters of Shaanxi", it is not entirely reasonable.In fact, the customs in the "Eight Great Monsters of Shaanxi" only appear in the Guanzhong area, which is not the case in most areas of Shaanxi.

Therefore, the Guanzhong people themselves say that it is not the "Eight Great Monsters of Shaanxi", but the "Eight Great Monsters of the Audience".

The "Eight Monsters of Guanzhong" refers to eight peculiar customs and habits that appeared in the Guanzhong area of ​​Shaanxi Province (roughly including Xi'an, Xianyang, Weinan, Baoji, Tongchuan, north of the Qinling Mountains, and south of the Loess Plateau).Due to the influence of various reasons such as climate, economy, and culture, the Guanzhong area has formed some unique ways in terms of clothing, food, housing, transportation, and east.The Guanzhong area of ​​Shaanxi, which has a rich historical and cultural heritage, has followed the historical folk customs and formed a vivid and interesting "eight monsters". With its unique charm of "ancient style and charm of ancient Chang'an", it has become a hot spot for tourists from other places to explore.

As every survivor of the Three Qin Dynasty, he is proud of the folk customs left over from ancient Chang'an, and Zhang Taiping is no exception. Under Zhang Xiaoqing's earnest eyes, he began to introduce it eloquently.

One blames the bench for not sitting and squatting: because squatting is more convenient than sitting.Because the Guanzhong area is mainly based on agriculture, there are many busy seasons, so people will unconsciously squat on the ground when they take time to rest, thus forming a unique habit, so rural people generally do not sit on the bench, even if There is a bench and you can squat on it.

"Is that what you and I are now?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "That's it, but it usually only appears in rural areas, and it probably doesn't exist in Xi'an now."

The second is to cover half of the house: the main Guanzhong people are more particular about Fengshui, and they believe that "fertile water does not flow into outsiders' fields". Even if it rains, the rainwater should flow into their own yards. I prefer to "drop in" (that is, neighbors often walk around and gossip), and they cover it so that the neighbors will not see their belongings.

Zhang Xiaoqing stood up and looked at Fang Zi behind him and said, "This Fang Zi is not right."

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Not all prescriptions are like that. If you look at the side, the side rooms on both sides are half covered."

"It really is like this." Zhang Xiaoqing went to the side to have a look, and when he came back, he squatted next to Zhang Taiping.

The three strange girls are not open to the outside world: Marriage in the Guanzhong area pays attention to "knowing the root and knowing the bottom line". The old custom believes that one's daughter will be bullied when she marries outside, and the daughter-in-law outside marries is afraid of losing her. Therefore, under normal circumstances, girls do not marry outside. , basically all get married within the county or village level, which is also related to the baby relatives at that time.

"Brother Zhang, isn't that the case?"

Zhang Taiping nodded with a smile: "Yes, and I also ordered a baby kiss. Your sister Cai's original home is the opposite room."

"Baby kiss?" Zhang Xiaoqing asked in surprise, "Then you accept it? Don't everyone advocate free love now?"

"Not all baby relatives are tragic, and there are also those who are in love. And even though it is the 21st century, in the mountain village, you still rely on matchmaking to find a partner. It is a great thing to be with someone who knows everything and still likes it." It's a very lucky thing."

"That's true. As far as I know, marriages in rural areas seem to have no chance of free love, but there are almost no divorces. Most couples can live together for the rest of their lives no matter whether they are good or bad." Zhang Xiaoqing also said said a word. "Well, what do you want to ask?" Zhang Taiping said with a smile, he seemed very patient with this girl, and wondered if it was because of those two dimples.

"No more." Zhang Xiaoqing shook his head.

Zhang Taiping stood up: "Then work."
