Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 195 Cultural Heritage Guest House
I heard Jiang Hongxing say: "When Shu Yi's father was an educated youth, because of her mother, he offended Qing Pi in the town, and the two of them fled all the way from Rongshan Town. It was my father who saw that they looked like Zhou Zheng. The bad guys must have been in trouble for a while, so they got on the ferry and sent them here."

"We have the four surnames Jiang, Zhao, Yang, and He here. The four surnames intermarry with each other. They neither marry outsiders nor marry outsiders. Every family can be regarded as relatives." After speaking, he pointed to the mansion next to him. : "The Wufu Manor belonged to the Zhao family at that time, and they also moved here from Chengdu."

"Across a river, ordinary outsiders can't come up. We don't have to be afraid when we come. Even if Shu Yi's parents are protected, and later on, they still have the same surname. This can only be said to be God's will, right? "

"Well, that's true." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be amazed at the wonder of fate. Now it seems that Zhongba Island is still the place where Jiang Shuyi's parents made love.

"Then what happened later?" Even though it was an old story, Jiang Shuyi was also worried about hearing it.

"Later, your parents stayed at my house. After half a month, the limelight passed. My father and I sent them to Zhuyangxi downstream, where they took a boat to Jiachuan."

"The rescuers have gone." Zhou Zhi laughed, "Later, the educated youths from Jiachuan, the capital of Sichuan, joined forces to riot in Rongshan Town. The beatings caused the green skins to scatter and flee to hide in XZ. This alarmed the government to launch an investigation, and finally uncovered a gang of gangsters."

"Uncle Jiang and Aunt Du finally achieved the right result of cultivation, became a husband and wife, and felt comfortable."

The last sentence was for the friends, and Jiang Shuyi gave him a light kick with the heel after he finished speaking.

The boys were really shocked.

Yan Xiao felt that he had run away from home because he couldn't be in the same class as He Shiqing, and he was already very proud. When he heard Jiang Shuyi's father had done great things for her mother, how did he feel? It is simply a mountain.

When it comes to this relationship, everything is easy to talk about, but Zhou Zhi didn't make it difficult for Jiang Hongxing, and found out his membership card of the Writers Association and the letter of introduction issued by the Jiachuan Federation of Literary and Art Circles, saying that this is a gathering activity. Cooperate.

With this letter of introduction, living in a hostel and receiving local reception is justified. Now many relatively closed places still need this. Otherwise, even if you have money, you may not be able to find accommodation.

The big courtyard house had been requisitioned as a grain station, sugar warehouse, agricultural machinery station, fertilizer storehouse... Anyway, as long as you need a room or a place, you can find it in this compound.

The same is true for the guest house. Ten rooms in the best inner courtyard of Wufu Manor are used as a guest house.

Zhou Zhi looked at the carved brackets under the blue tiles, at the lacquered beams depicting drama stories, as well as the blue brick walls, carved window lattices, and the square brick floor in the room with glutinous rice paste and mud seams. old pattern.

There are standard rooms here. Every year when the sugar cane is produced, there will be orderers who come to the island to buy, and when many units such as grain collection, surveying, and hydrology come, they also need to receive reception. This guest house is for this purpose.

Now it's the slack season, no one came here, so the entire guest house was empty, and a small courtyard was occupied by Zhou Zhi and his group.

This is the first time for the friends to live in such a high-standard room. There are public toilets, boilers and hot water rooms, warm water bottles, and even "supporting facilities" such as slippers and foot basins. They already feel very "advanced". up.

Only Yang He was secretly laughing in his heart, he followed Zhou Zhi to the provincial TV station's guest house, compared to that, this guest house was shabby to the extreme.

Of course, this is just Yang He's feeling. Zhou Zhi always feels guilty about living in a cultural relic when he lives here.

After the friends all chose their rooms and came out, Jiang Hongxing asked his wife to light up the boiler, and took the friends to visit Wufu Manor.

"The Zhao family is a family of officials who moved in from Chengdu more than 140 years ago." Jiang Hongxing introduced as he walked: "They moved to this island in the tenth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, and then built this house that can accommodate dozens of families. The courtyard where you live."

"Look at the stone lintel under the eaves at the entrance of the manor. There is a legend among the old people that the five characters on it are filled with pure gold. Why use them? Prepare for famine! Famine Time to buy food!"

Zhou Zhi didn't really believe this statement. Chinese people pay attention to keeping their wealth secret. Both Yang and his father knew to hide gold bars in jars.

However, this stone-carved gatehouse is enough to illustrate the glory of Wufu Manor on Zhongba Island back then.

At the same time, it also proved another thing, Zhou Zhi's feeling was right, they were going to live in the cultural relics tonight.

However, it is impossible to tell Lao Jiang about the protection of cultural relics. Even Wang Cong Temple is so important and has just started to receive the treatment it deserves. Zhou Zhi is not the kind of person who is extremely rigid.

The whole compound is actually very interesting, because it is a rural area, and no one cares about such a courtyard house. Jiang Hongxing explained it clearly in one sentence - it is not convenient to pick up the manure bucket out of the narrow alley in the morning, and there are too many houses to live in. If there are fewer people, it is easy to attract thieves, so there is no such thing as a hatchback.

Then Zhou Zhi understood that real estate on this island was not just needed, so the courtyard house was protected instead.

It is not called protection. It should be said that most of them have been kept in their original state and have not been damaged too much.

Many courtyards and rooms were locked, but the tour was soon over, and everyone went back outside the courtyard, sitting under the big longan tree and drinking tea.

Jiang Hongxing's diners also served refreshments, which are a few specialties here-dried longan, rice cake candy, sesame sticks, and fried sheep tail.

Sesame sticks are small finger-thick sesame candies wrapped in white sesame seeds.

It is worth mentioning that fried sheep tail, which is a very traditional snack in southern Sichuan, is made of fat meat or lard sticks, wrapped in noodles and deep-fried twice until crispy, then put sugar in water and stir-fry to make sugar liquid. Then pour the fried dough into the pan and stir-fry until it is evenly coated. Remove the pan from the heat and stir-fry until the sugar solution cools down and a layer of icing sugar forms on the dough.

Seeing that Aunt Jiang served Xiaguan Tuocha with fried sheep tail, Zhou Zhi knew that dinner would be sure.

The fried sheep tail is delicious, but you will be tired without knowing it. It is just right when paired with Tuocha to relieve the tiredness.

Then I thought of those string hooks on Jiangzhou's tail: "Uncle, who put those string hooks at the pier? Why don't you go ask and see if you can add a dish later?"

Just now, Zhou Zhi had already asked Jiang Hongxing about the consumption. Generally, the reception in the hostel is five yuan a day including food and lodging. Zhou Zhi and the others will play at noon tomorrow, which happens to be a day.

This price is really too cheap, Zhou Zhi is a little worried about the quality of the food, but it's hard to say it outright, plus the budget will save a lot, so why not find food for yourself!

"I have to find Sixth Uncle." Jiang Hongxing said, "Then let's go and have a look!"
