Chapter 584: Dragon Lantern

Chapter 580 Five Dragon Lantern
When Li Junge finished a few dishes, Er Zhun had already set the table and chopsticks and refilled the meal.

Grandma was still holding the door to look outside, and said, "Your parents haven't been home at noon these days, they are busy moving the folks. This year's Chinese New Year must invite hundreds of families. How can we arrange for this revolving banquet?" Yo?"

Li Junge said: "It is estimated that they don't have time to arrange transfer banquets. They will get familiar with their new home after a week, and then they will start to receive outsiders. emm... it will be more practical to hold a banquet for thousands of people and hundreds of families... baby Why haven't you come back yet?"

Grandma smiled and said: "It's the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and the pigs that were slaughtered early have already started. Are you afraid that they will be hungry? Maybe there is a place where I will be drinking pig soup today!"

Li Junge said: "Then we will eat first, Xiao Zhun can't wait!"

The four of them sat down to eat, Li Junge took out another basin, put on the already cooled tempeh fish and turned it over, uncovered the bottom of the basin, and found the small fish soaked in oil on the bottom, and the appearance changed immediately .

Li Junge found another medium-sized plate, put some small fish on the plate, piled some fermented soybeans on it, poured some oil from the basin, and served it on the table to eat.

Xiao Zhun had already buried a few pieces of bacon and sausages under his rice and was cooking them for grandma and A Yin.

Li Junge put down the plate and said, "Hey, Xiao Zhun has learned etiquette!"

Xiao Zhun said: "That's right, do as the Romans do when you go to the countryside!"

Li Junge smiled and said: "I only learned half of it. Although it is the etiquette at the dinner table, it is true, but it is the etiquette of the host's house for serving guests. When you come to my house, are you a guest of grandma or a guest of Ah Yin?"

Xiao Zhun opened his mouth: "Huh? I learned this from Qiu girl's parents..."

Li Junge picked up his rice bowl, scooped up fried cabbage moss with his chopsticks, and after digging half of the bowl, he said, "Have you killed the New Year pig at Qiu girl's house?"

Xiao Zhun said excitedly: "Kill it, it weighs more than 200 catties. This is the first time I've seen a pig slaughtered. It's so exciting!"

Li Junge curled his lips: "The baby in the city is too pitiful..."

Suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to A Yin: "A Yin, when Miao Village resumes folk activities, it's better not to show items like vertebral cattle. People in the city are hypocritical. I'm afraid they won't accept it, so I use grass cattle and Beef instead."

Ayin nodded yes.

Li Junge turned to grandma again and said, "Grandma, this year has been busy from beginning to end, and I don't have time to raise pigs. You should say that it's not a year."

Grandma said: "Your uncle said that you will put two mouthfuls in the day after tomorrow and send one to us. By the way, your aunt, grandpa, and the others, no matter how busy you are, you have to follow the etiquette. Do you hear me?"

Li Junge said: "It's definitely going to be there, but it will be after thirty. By the way, my grandfather also set up a spot on the road from Lijiagou to Pan'ao Township. Grandma and cousin will definitely come here in the future." Keeping the store, you can often see each other."

Grandma said: "Really? That's great, Sufen is the happiest!"

Xiao Zhun ate two two bowls of sharp rice soup for a meal, and drank another bowl of rice soup, and said: "This cabbage moss is definitely the best cabbage moss I have ever eaten in my life. It's neither sweet nor crisp, and it's incomparable with the ones here."

Li Junge said with a smile: "There is no way to do this. We can only eat vegetables when people come, but people who can't get vegetables will consume a lot of nutrients and water on the road. If we have to sell them in the hands of vendors in the vegetable market for two or three days, I'm afraid it will be a big surprise. I hate it when I see it!"

Now that he knew that the Four Elders of Jiazhou were coming, Li Junge couldn't go directly to Grandma Wang first, and picked a small pot of tempeh fish for Er Zhun and said, "This thing is like eating cold rabbits. It won't go bad in half a month. In the morning Porridge with steamed buns is good, see if you eat well, I will pick a bowl for you and bring it with you."

Xiao Zhun was overjoyed: "Young girl Qiu should also like it."

Li Junge suddenly said, "Are Qiu girl's parents satisfied with you?"

Xiao Zhun was so frightened that he almost dropped his bowl: "Should... be satisfied? After all, I am also a diamond king who is young and wealthy, has a successful career, is handsome, has ideals, pursues, and has no bad habits?"

Ayin couldn't help laughing: "Xiaozhun, are you putting gold on your face?"

Li Junge said: "It's not that I scare you. It's not necessarily easy for you to pass his parents' test. They like it. It must be Wen Neng who speaks and speaks, Wu Neng picks two or three hundred catties, raises pigs and grows vegetables." Fish ponds, grass cutting and pruning are all done in the countryside."

"As long as you rely on your mouth for everything, you have thin legs, you can't lift your shoulders, you can't lift your hands, and you can slip three times when you walk up and down the field. Uncle Jiande and Aunt Shufen don't necessarily appreciate it." In the eyes, to use the old saying in the country, a white face can't be eaten!"

Xiaozhun was not convinced: "Why did I just eat it as a meal?!... No, their standards are too old-fashioned, right? No, they treat me very well... I think they are quite satisfied with me... ..."

When I said this, I felt guilty in my mouth.

Li Junge patted him on the shoulder: "That's polite, maybe it's hard to say it in front of you and Han Qiu, and you cried several times behind your back. Just think about how you and Qiu girl met for the first time. Looks like a five-star? Now that she and Xiao Zhi are in love with each other in a TV series, what will the elders think?"

"Therefore, don't get carried away too much. It's time to perform. Try to perform well..."

Now Xiaozhun was really nervous, and he was full of worries while holding the black bean fish.

All the way to Qiu Yatou's house, Li Junge and A Yin were busy greeting the four elders of Jiazhou, when they saw Xiao Zhun trot into the kitchen, and shouted to Li Jiande and Zhang Shufang who were washing dishes inside: "Uncle, aunt, this is The black bean fish I brought you from Erpi's house..."

Ayin burst out laughing with a "puchi", and Li Junge ignored Xiao Zhun's behavior at the other end, and said to old man Ding and the four of them, "I see you again, old man Ding, you are getting healthier..."

Wu Kuang grabbed Li Junge: "What a boy! You've given Shuzhou a big face! I told my daughter that I'm an acquaintance with you, and she wouldn't believe me. I have to take a group photo today."

Li Junge was puzzled: "The Tiangong Award and the Gongmei Hundred Flowers Award really have nothing to do with me. I'm just a logistics worker..."

Wu Kuang said: "It's not that! It's about you and A Yin being on the island! The celadon is so burnt, tsk tsk tsk..."

Only then did Li Junge come to his senses, and said with a smile: "That's just to fool the foreigners, any old man in Lijiagou is better than me."

Wu Kuang said: "It doesn't matter, Ah Yin, come here quickly, let's take a photo together, and send it to my daughter first!"

There was no reason to talk about this, so several people took a group photo together, and then sat down to chat.

Old man Ding said: "I heard that you Lijiagou will create a set of New Year's folk customs with all beards and tails this year. Qiu girl invited us to collect folk customs. This character is not the strong point of my Jiazhou school of painting. I want to find some. Traditional material is not bad.”

Li Mingqi smiled and said, "Of course the gluttonous pig soup is also part of the reason."

Everyone laughed out loud.

Li Junge said with a smile: "The people who come here are all guests. Although my family didn't raise pigs this year, but hundreds of homestays have been relocated. It is estimated that every family will kill the pigs before moving to the new house."

"The blistered pig feast will definitely not stop these days, I'm afraid everyone will want to go back to the white water pea salad and pick the ears in a few days."

It made everyone laugh again.

Li Junge said again: "Coincidentally, Granny Wang has been in charge of restoring folk customs in our Lijiagou. She asked someone to bring a message, saying that she is looking for me. Most of it has something to do with this matter. Let's go and see." See?"

They had nothing to do after dinner, so the group agreed to follow Li Junge and A Yin to the village.

He went into the kitchen and called Xiao Zhun, but the baby was making eye contact in the kitchen, pretending to wash the dishes.

Li Junge grabbed the back collar: "Don't pretend if you don't know how to wash! Hurry up and bring the camera, this year's folklore documentary depends on you! Uncle Jiande, I'll take this kid away, girl Qiu, let's go together Let's go and see what kind of flowers Grandma Wang has produced!"

The place where I made an appointment with Grandma Wang was the ancestral hall, and when I walked around the screen wall, Li Junge couldn't help saying: "Damn!"

The ancestral hall has now become a temporary storage place for materials for New Year's folk activities. Big drums, big gongs, big cymbals, guns, waist drums, flower boats, stilt legs, lions, the head of a smiling monk, big cattail fans... are neatly arranged in categories.

The most attractive are the two giant dragons.

First, there is a huge dragon head and a curved dragon neck, standing there with a thick bamboo pole. The horns of the head are tall, the beard and hair are thick, the golden horns and silver teeth, the eyes are bulging, and the gills are densely covered with moire. The whole is magnificent and extraordinary.

There are still two small glass lenses at the pupils of the eyes, which can be rotated freely, which is really vivid.

The tongue protruded from the dragon's mouth full of fangs, the tip of the tongue was raised, and there was a small hydrangea in the big mouth, which whirled and turned when the wind blew.

The whole faucet is a shelf made of bamboo silk, covered with silk embroidery of various colors inlaid with female red, which is luxurious and mighty.

This faucet is not a bamboo pole, its height is nearly two meters, and the diameter of the bare head is almost 1.2 meters, which is quite huge.

Behind the dragon's neck is a long body of colored silk. Only four layers of scales are painted on the dragon's body. The outer three layers are gold, silver and white, plus the background color of the dragon scales.

There are also jagged golden fins on the back, spreading along the dragon's back for more than ten meters.

At every interval, there is a bamboo-woven thin-eye tube placed inside the dragon's body, with a thick bamboo pole protruding out, which is convenient for the dragon dancer to hold.

The whole body of the dragon is exquisite in workmanship, and there is a coiled dragon tail behind it. The craftsmanship is the same as that of the dragon head. It is also a curved dragon tail strung on a thick bamboo pole, and the end is a huge spread out tail.

Two giant dragons, one red and one green, are like thousand-year-old beasts guarding the ancestral hall.

The Fourth Elder of Jiazhou couldn't move his eyes when he saw it: "This is so exquisite...it's a work of art..."

The group of five from Columbia University was surrounding Ssangyong with SLR cameras snapping shots, while Grandma Wang was explaining the customs and habits of the dragon and the various patterns on the dragon.

Seeing a group of people coming, Grandma Wang said, "Pi Wa, how about these two dragons?"

Li Junge exclaimed: "Grandma Wang, this... this is really amazing! Is this still a country dragon lantern? I think it can be sent to participate in the Hundred Flowers Award. Oh, even eyelashes?!"

Grandma Wang said proudly: "This is the pattern of the old stone, the bamboo art of the bamboo craftsman, and the female celebrity of the girls in the village. Can you get it?"

Li Junge said: "This is too handy. I have never seen such a beautiful and huge dragon lantern! Wait a minute and let me try how heavy this dragon head is."

Grabbing the bamboo pole under the dragon's head and pushing it up, the dragon's head suddenly flicked its beard and hair, its eyes looked wildly, the tongue in its mouth trembled, and the hydrangea also spun wildly, scaring Jiazhou Fourth Elder and Ayinqiu girl to stagger back two steps : "Oh! Come back to life!"

Li Junge stuck out his tongue: "This faucet can't weigh more than fifty catties! Apart from me, Wan Dali, and Miao Wa, I'm afraid there are not many people in the village who can play it!"

　Hahahahaha, the last chapter didn't have a big dish, how could you make some of you like that?It seems that there are a lot of foodies among the book friends, hahaha...
