"Is there anything I need you to do." Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "In two days, I'll find you a job to make money. Didn't your mother let you earn money to build a new house and get a wife?"

"Yeah." Dasha nodded and said, "My mother said so, but I have to repay you, handsome, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Zhang Taiping smiled wryly: "Then how long will it take you to prepare for the repayment?"

Dasha scratched his head and said, "I don't know."

Zhang Taiping felt that it was a little unclear to him, and said: "Let's not talk about this kind of thing, why don't I find you a room, so you can rest first?"

"Okay, okay." Dasha nodded and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, handsome."

Zhang Taiping led him to the opposite room, Zhang Xiuxiu poked her head out when she heard the door opening and saw Zhang Taiping bringing a big man in, and asked, "Your Majesty, is there a guest?"

"Well, there are guests." Zhang Taiping said with a smile, "I will stay here tonight."

Dasha looked at the yard and asked, "Marshal, is this your house too?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "It's sort of."

"Your house is really big." Dasha exclaimed enviously.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and smiled without saying a word, he pushed open a door and turned on the light and said, "You can stay here tonight."

After making arrangements for Dasha, Zhang Taiping returned home. As soon as he entered the door, Fan Ming came to his side to check that there was no one behind him, and then asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with that fool?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "I'm a little out of my mind."

Fan Ming stuck out his tongue and muttered, "It really is."

Dasha didn't leave the next day, but stayed. As long as it was heavy work to be done at home, he would be the first to do it.Zhang Taiping couldn't forcefully drive him away, so he could only let him live in the guest room opposite.

After the fifth day, the relatives of the villagers basically left. On the morning of the sixth day, the old village chief came to Zhang Taiping to discuss matters.

When the old village chief came, Dasha was carrying a shovel and was preparing to dig a hole on the mountain. In the past two days, his attitude of rushing to work made the family feel a little uncomfortable, so Zhang Taiping found him a job. He should go to the mountain to dig a hole. Anyway, he will be busy when planting plum trees after the Chinese New Year.

"Marshal, I'm going to the mountain first." Dasha said.

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "The saplings to be planted after the new year are not big, so when you dig the hole, don't dig too deep or too big."

"Well, I see."

After Dasha left, the old village chief asked, "Who is this?"

Zhang Taiping said, "It's a friend of mine."

"What kind of trees is the commander-in-chief planning to plant when he digs a hole on the mountain?" the old village head asked again.

"I bought some plum trees in Fujian a few years ago, and I planned to interplant them with the peach trees on the mountain after the Chinese New Year," Zhang Taiping replied.

The old village head said reproachfully: "Why do you need friends to help you dig a hole? If you need someone, just call two people in the village."

It's not easy for Zhang Taiping to explain the silly things to the old village head, so he just smiled and didn't speak.

When the two came to the old village head's house, there were already many people gathered in the house, both young and old, and they were all people who liked to be lively.Especially those old men, who have decades of experience in playing social fire, have a lot of tricks in their stomachs, and they are indispensable characters.

After everyone found a place to sit in the house, the old village head said: "I have already asked the Fengyukou side, and I am sure that this year there will be social fire. The specific time has not yet been determined, but it will not be around fifteen, so let's go now." You have to start preparing."

An old man stood up and said, "Then what are we going to prepare for this year?"

"Shehuo", also known as shooting tiger, is an ancient folk art form in Northwest my country.It refers to the performances of various acrobatics and acrobatics in sacrificial ceremonies or festivals to welcome the gods.Fire has the meaning of prosperity and excitement.

Shehuo has a long history, and it was gradually formed with the ancient sacrificial activities.In ancient times, human beings were in a period of infancy, and their productivity was extremely low. The primitive ancestors could neither resist nor understand the life and death of human beings, and many phenomena in the natural world, such as the sun, the moon, and famine. They could only imagine that they could not resist. , It is also impossible to understand, only fantasy to dominate it with the help of supernatural power, so various gods are created.When social production shifted from fishing and hunting to farming, the land became the basis for human survival, so the praying and sacrificial activities that yearn for good weather, a good harvest, or exorcism of ghosts and epidemics emerged.

"The Analects of Confucius" called Nuo the ghost of chasing epidemics.Miscellaneous Records of the Yuefu: Fang Xiangshi is used to exorcise Nuo, four people wear crowns and masks, gold is the four eyes, clothes are bears and furs, holding human shields, singing witchcraft spells, beating everywhere in the room to make ghosts fear and die escape.With the passage of time, through the dynasties, this kind of exorcism was introduced from the court to the people, and gradually formed a huge folk etiquette activity, which evolved into a game of worshiping, entertaining and welcoming the gods in the countryside, and added a variety of performances.This ancient custom has been followed to this day. Every year from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shaanxi and other places hold lively and extraordinary social fire activities.

The most representative performance form of Shehuo is the high platform. Each high platform has a theme, some are carried by two people, some are carried by four people, and there are a lot of tricks. The most classic is the element in the fairy tale. Bone spirits, making trouble in the sky and so on, there are also elements taken from history, such as three visits to thatched cottages, which cannot be exhausted in one word.

With the development of society, the social fires preserved in ancient times have been integrated and endowed with new content, and the forms of expression have also been perfected day by day, injecting elements such as folklore, opera stories and heroes.Xinzishehuo, performed by villagers in Chencang District, Baoji City, fixes a 23-meter-high steel bar on a platform, and uses colored paper to make tigers, cotton, clouds and other objects of various shapes on the steel bar. Boys, girls and children dress up as ancient costume dramas Characters pose in various shapes on the steel bars.

The social fires in the Guanzhong area all spread from Baoji, so the gameplay is the same as that in Baoji.

The old village chief thought of the two monkeys in Zhang Taiping's house, and said, "How about making an image of Monkey King?"

All the old people stroked their beards and nodded, saying: "Sun Wukong is a must, this is a classic among social fires."

"Let's gather more ideas and express the best ideas in our hearts, and we will select them." The old village chief said again.

A person's ideas may be limited, but when a group of people gather together, the ideas will definitely be one after another. It is definitely not a joke that three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang.

If you have more ideas, you will get more materials. However, the village is a bit small and there is a little shortage of manpower, so you can't make all the ideas. You can only choose a few of the best ones.

The old village chief asked Zhang Taiping: "Commander, can you use those two monkeys in your house?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "That's no problem, but we can only arrange a monkey role, because Wukong is learning to play the gong these days, and this guy may join the gong and drum team to play the gong."

"Monkey beating the gong?" Everyone was surprised.

An old man said with a smile: "This is a bright spot."

"Yes! It is indeed a bright spot." All the people with experience in playing Shehuo said so.There are two reasons for the quality of Shehuo, one is whether the meaning contained in it is good or not, and the other is that it is not attractive.As long as it can attract people and make people feel happy watching, even a Shehuo without much deep meaning is a good Shehuo.

"Then it's settled." The old village head said, "When the time comes, let the two little monkeys perform, and Wukong will go to beat the gong. How about the other one making a monkey climb a tree?"

"No problem." Zhang Taiping agreed.

Someone said: "Marshal, I think those big dogs in your house are also very strange, I must have seen many people, why don't you pull them out to show off?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "Forget about a big dog, if one is not handled well, it will hurt people, and things will be difficult to deal with at that time."

After confirming a few materials, everyone kept talking about the details. It wasn't until almost twelve o'clock that the old village chief stood up and said, "Okay, let's come here in the morning. Everyone, go back and have a meal, and come back in the afternoon. Let's In the afternoon, I will still prepare and make things.”
