Fan Ming and Yaya saw that Zhang Taiping healed the two horses, so they hurriedly wanted to sit in the sedan chair and feel it.

Zhang Taiping quickly stopped and said: "Don't rush to sit in it, let the horse pull the cart for a couple of laps to get used to it, then see if there is anything wrong with it, and then sit on the threshing field."

It is a gentle downhill road from home to the village, and the problem arises when the horse pulls the sedan chair down the slope.The car at the base of the sedan chair forgot to install something to control the speed of the car. Now when going downhill, the speed of the car is getting faster and faster due to the downward inertial force.Fortunately, Zhang Taiping pulled his hand from behind to slow down the speed.

When the horse ran to the threshing field, Zhang Taiping wanted to stop, and then carefully checked the condition of some cars. This was the first test to see if there were any problems.

After looking up and down, there is only one problem, that is, there is a lack of something to control the speed, so I can't run downhill for the time being.

But now it is still possible to run on the flat threshing field, so she said to Fan Ming and Yaya, "You can go up now."

Two girls, one big and one small, happily entered the sedan chair, took off their shoes and put them on the edge of the car outside, where a special place for putting shoes was set up.The inside is covered with a bright red carpet, which is soft and comfortable to step on. You can stand, sit, lie down, and lean up at will.

Zhang Taiping was sitting at the front of the car, pulling the reins and leading the two horses.

Now another problem has been discovered. To control the speed, someone must drive it. Therefore, a chair specially for the driver must be set in the place where he is sitting.In this way, the chair will block the main door of the sedan chair, so the door of the sedan chair cannot be opened in the direction facing the front.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Taiping came to a decision. He changed one door into two doors, and set them up on the left and right. The front door needs to be sealed, but a small window can be opened on the top.

Today is Sunday, and the children are all at home. Seeing such a novel thing on the threshing floor, they come to watch it one after another, even some idle adults come to watch it.

Such a luxurious and beautiful horse-drawn carriage, let alone a group of mountain people with little experience, even people in big cities will involuntarily admire such a situation.

The people who built the pig farm in the east also saw the situation here, and they also came to watch during the break.

Wang Li was shocked when he saw it, touched the natural color of the red toon wood and said, "This horse-drawn cart is so beautiful, where did it come from?"

Zhang Taiping corrected and said: "This is an octagonal sedan chair, but a movable base is arranged underneath, so that horses can be used instead of manpower."

"Is it a sedan chair?" At first, I just saw it was pulled by two horses and subconsciously thought it was a carriage. Now, after being reminded by Zhang Taiping, I looked it over again, nodded and said, "It is indeed more like a sedan chair. But octagonal sedan chairs are not common, it looks like a movable pavilion."

Zhang Taiping also had this idea, so he didn't object to his statement.

"Isn't it you who made this sedan chair?" Wang Li asked slightly surprised as if he remembered it.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Why not?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Wang Li laughed twice and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that it's a little unexpected that Zhang Yuanwai is not only a master of kung fu, but also a carpenter, so versatile!"

Zhang Taiping smiled and waved his hands and said: "What many talents, it's just that a few years ago I learned a few hands of carpentry from the master."

"Tsk tsk, this is not something that can be made by learning a few hands. I think you are definitely a master."

In these tasks, Zhang Taiping has never underestimated himself. The statement just now is just a little modesty. This is the basic performance of most Chinese people after being praised.

"Is it very useful for you to make such a horse-drawn sedan chair? Isn't it going to be used in front of a car?" Wang Li asked looking at the horse-drawn sedan chair running slowly on the field.

"That's not the case. This sedan chair is intended to be rented out."

"Leasing?" Wang Li was a little puzzled.

Zhang Taiping explained: "Have you seen the main colors of this sedan chair? It's all festive bright red and golden yellow. I plan to use it as a wedding car."

"Hey! This is a good idea, but how much is it once? If it is suitable, I will introduce it to my friends. It must be very cool to use this to marry a bride."

Zhang Taiping grinned and said, "1 yuan once." This was the price he had thought up, although it was a bit high, but he believed that rich people would definitely be willing to spend this money.Moreover, the high price will not only discourage some people from protecting the sedan chair, but also make it a status symbol.

"1 yuan once?" Wang Li was really surprised, "You don't want to steal money, do you?"

The surrounding villagers were also shocked by the price, but they didn't say anything. Although the price sounded absurd, many of the surrounding villagers believed in their hearts that Zhang Taipingding's price would definitely work. Because what he said in the past year is basically correct, many villagers have developed a kind of blind trust.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "There are a lot of rich people in this world. As long as 1 yuan can make people look good, many people are very willing to pay for it."

Wang Li thought about it and felt that Zhang Taiping was telling the truth. There are too many rich people in society now. 1 yuan may be a lot of money for a person who works hard, but for a rich person, 1 yuan will be thrown out without hesitation in order to add some glory to his face , without blinking.

"Can it be cheaper?" Wang Li asked after a while.

Zhang Taiping asked strangely: "Could it be that you plan to get married?"

"I really plan to get married. I have been 27 and 28 for a few years. If I don't get married, I will become an old man." Wang Li shook his head and sighed, but his face was full of joy.

"When are you going to get married? My sedan chair needs to be remodeled. I don't know if CCB can catch up." Zhang Taiping asked.

"November 28nd, that is, September [-]th in the lunar calendar, this is an auspicious day." Wang Li replied.

The so-called auspicious days are the days when everything goes well.In the old days, the astrology was used to calculate good and bad luck. It was said that the six stars of Qinglong, Mingtang, Jinkui, Tiande, Yutang, and Siming were auspicious gods. Auspicious day".Generally refers to a good day suitable for doing business.

Zhang Taiping counted the time but he had time, so he said: "I just finished this sedan chair, and no one has used it yet. You are the first person to advertise, so I will give you a 3000% discount." , how about [-] yuan?"

"Okay! Three thousand is three thousand. But what about the bride sitting in a sedan chair, and my groom sitting in a sedan chair? Wouldn't it be driving a car in front? This would be a bit of a spoiler." Seeing that the price is not expensive, Wang Li agreed.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "Of course there are also things for the groom. I plan to go out in the next two days and buy a few horses back. In addition to the horses used to pull the cart, there are also horses for the groom to ride."

"The groom rides a horse and the bride rides a sedan chair. This is a good match."

This was settled in this way, and it was the first business deal for the sedan chair.

Zhang Taiping was in a good mood, and Wang Li was also full of joy.When you get married, you will naturally need a wedding car, and the wedding car to pick up the bride must be a good car. If you have a good car at home, you don’t need to worry about it. If you don’t have a good car, you have to rent a good car. Indispensable.In this way, the price is about the same as renting a sedan chair, but the sedan chair can look more joyful and innovative.He is naturally happy to spend the same money to achieve higher results.

Zhang Taiping asked: "I'm going to get married in a few days, and you're not at home preparing to go out to work?"

Wang Li made a helpless look and said: "That's no way. After getting married, you have to support your wife and children, so now you have to hurry up and earn more."

Zhang Taiping could tell that his family was in a good situation, so it was a joke.

He asked again, "Did you take the wedding photos?"

"This has been filmed a long time ago. If I found you here earlier, I would come to your place to film."

Zhang Taiping said: "It's really a pity, but you can introduce your friends to take wedding photos and play here."

Wang Li laughed and said, "Definitely, definitely! After I get married this time, I will definitely be able to help you get the ad out."

An old man in a village looked around the sedan chair for a while and suddenly said to Zhang Taiping: "Marshal, your horse-drawn sedan chair can be used as a social fire during the Chinese New Year."

"She" refers to the god of land in ancient times. From ancient times to the present, the fire of the society has the meaning of offering sacrifices and blessings. "Guanzi Riding a Horse" says: "Six miles in a square is a community." That is to say, a community with a radius of six miles.With the society as the unit, "singing with weapons and dancing around the fire", it is called "shehuo".Shehuo is a traditional Chinese folk celebration and carnival activity, and the specific form varies greatly with regions.

Whenever the severe winter is over, the ice and snow are melting, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and the earth is recovering, the ancestors slaughter pigs and sheep, and use the fruits of their labor to sacrifice to the "spirits" and ancestors.At this time, the primitive ancestors who had been tired all year round had a chance to rest. They were ecstatic, so they "dressed up" themselves, painted cinnabar on their faces, tied bird feathers on their heads, shouted, and went crazy. Jump around.This is the earliest social fire of human beings.

However, with the development, the meaning of offering sacrifices in the social fire has almost dissipated today, and people now purely use the social fire to celebrate.It is generally celebrated either for a good harvest or economic growth over the course of the year.

Most of the Shehuo elements come from mythology or history.

Generally, he plays characters in dramas such as "Broken Bridge", "Stealing Immortal Grass", "Choosing the Yellow Robe", "Tang Monk Learning Buddhist Scriptures", "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", and "Bao Gong Apologizes".With the accompaniment of strong rhythmic gongs and drums, perform marching queues or fixed-point performances.

For example, in the performance of Broken Bridge, Xu Xian, Green Snake, and White Snake will sing lines in Qin tune and add simple gestures.Dry boats are made of bamboo in the shape of a boat, and then pasted with colored paper or colored silk. There is a boat girl driving the boat, walking in small steps, just like a boat walking in the sea, and an old man walks in front, holding a paddle board, like rocking a boat.Running bamboo horses, using bamboo as a skeleton, tied into a horse shape (there is also a donkey shape), decorated with colored silk or colored paper, the performers have a bamboo horse around their waists, just like riding a horse, men and women form pairs, galloping, jumping, and singing duets in formation, with a strong sense of music , with a clear rhythm and a warm atmosphere.

There are many types of Shehuo, and the main form in Qinchuan is Gao Xinzi.

Gao Xinzi, also known as Gaotai.There are many types of lifting cores, back cores, car cores, etc., especially "car cores".Generally, one or several wooden rafters or iron rods with a length of more than ten feet are fixed on a small tractor or a small car, and then tied to the top of the rod to form a lotus-shaped or other shaped suspended object, which is the core platform.On the core stage, fix one or two or more children who play roles, wear dramatic costumes, do simple movements or poses, and perform mysterious and thrilling movements during the march.

Shehuo also develops along with the society, from the earliest lifting core to the next car core, and then to the current high-tech core.

Now every year, Shehuo contains a lot of technological elements, some of which are reflected in the promotion, and some are expressed in the elements of Shehuo.For example, a few years after the Shenzhou [-] went to the sky, its model frequently appeared in the social fire for several years.

Although Zhang Taiping's horse-drawn sedan chair is not high-tech, if it is an artistic production, the main thing is to be novel and attractive.

Zhang Taiping has no objection to this kind of lively thing, and taking a horse-drawn sedan chair as a social fire to swim around the entire county can be regarded as an advertising effect.Especially Zhang Taiping thought that if Wukong was to wear a tiger skin vest to become the driver, it would be very attractive.

So he asked: "Is there any social fire going on in the village this year?"

The old man said with a smile: "I heard that the county is planning to prevent a big riot this year. Every town will organize a Shehuo team. Then each village will naturally have several Shehuo. Our village is so good this year. The harvest is naturally going to be a few community fires."

Zhang Taiping is also interested. Shehuo held in the county like this is not common. When the shehuo from all over the county gathers in the county, it will definitely be an empty scene.

"I heard that several villages are already preparing for this." The old man said again, "You are also preparing."

Those who prepared so early are definitely some old people. They have nothing to do when they have nothing to do. A few people gathered together to study this is also a way to pass the time.Moreover, the previous generation and even the previous generation all had a kind of explicit love for Shehuo.

Zhang Taiping was also interested in this, so he said: "Alright, I'm ready."

A group of little dolls went up one by one to experience the feeling of riding in a carriage, and it was already noon when Zhang Taiping drove the horse back again.

The car is a little out of control when going downhill, but it is quite easy when going uphill.Heilong and Hongzao pulled the wooden cart and sedan chair up the gentle slope in front of the yard without any effort.
