Chapter 70 The Sowing Ceremony (for further reading, for collection)
The construction of the barracks was in full swing. Li Chaolong and Li Chaomeng felt relieved to see Li Chaosheng. Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

It was a bright morning, the sun was shining on the earth, on the ridge of Li Chaosheng's [-]-acre low-grade field, at this time a group of people were beating gongs and drums and singing a slightly primitive Qin opera.

This is a well-known gong and drum team in the county. Generally, only weddings and funerals, Chinese New Year celebrations, and family worship can be invited to have fun.

But today, Li Chaosheng invited him here with money. His tenant farmers wanted a planting ceremony, so he gave them a grand planting ceremony.

The gongs, drums and firecrackers sounded, and a hundred households of tenant farmers prepared Quyuanli, some borrowed cattle, some did not have cattle, and could only rely on the strong labor of the family to pull them. A native of Tanggou Town.

At this time, the old patriarch brought five clansmen to the old village, and Li Chaosheng stood on the set up platform and said to the tenant farmers: "All clansmen, today is the day we start planting, I hope everyone will unite and help each other to usher in a good year.

"it is good."

The common people shouted hello, at this time the old patriarch said: "Okay, the auspicious time has come, sacrifice to the god of grain!"

As soon as the sound came out, Li Chaosheng stretched out his hand to take the three incense sticks handed over by the tribesmen beside him, and bowed respectfully to the statue placed on the shrine.

The god of valleys, the god in charge of the harvest of grains, has an unknown name. Some people say that he is called Xuanmu. As for the source, it is the sixth volume of the Tao Te Ching: The god of valleys is immortal, which is called Xuanmu. Some people explain that the meaning of this sentence is to say The god of the valley will not die, and is called Xuanmu.

However, Li Chaosheng thought it was wrong, so he specifically searched for the relevant explanation. The explanation of this sentence is that the Tao (God of Valley) that nourishes all things in the world is eternal, which is called Xuanyin.

So Gushen’s name should not be Xuanyin, but Li Chaosheng found an answer two days ago, which made Li Chaosheng speechless and unable to refute. Someone told Li Chaosheng that Gushen’s name is... Buffett~
I believe your ghost, don’t you know that the homophonic stalk deducts money, but apart from Buffett’s explanation, Li Chaosheng really doesn’t know who to talk about. Who is Gushen?
Li Chaosheng doesn't know, maybe it's just a symbol, just like the god in front of him, holding ears of wheat in his left hand, holding ingots in his right, and a piece of barley under his feet, with a smile on his face, wearing a big red robe, with a god of wealth Hat of the same style.

This is Ceres.

Li Chaosheng offered incense to the god of the valley, and all the clansmen knelt down, but Li Chaosheng did not kneel down, but there is nothing strange about the big guy. Some people say that Li Chaosheng is a god who came down to earth. How can there be a god who descended to the world to kneel down and kowtow to other gods? reason?
They are equal.

After the fragrance was finished, the old patriarch said: "The sacrifice of the Valley God is over, please plant the first seed."

At this time, Li Chaosheng took the corn seeds sent by others, took the hoe and dug a hole on the flat ridge platform, threw the corn seeds in, and then wiped them with his feet to complete the first seed. During the sowing of the seeds, a tenant farmer took over the hoe from Li Chaosheng.

Li Chaosheng patted the tenant farmer on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, this year will be a good one."

"Yes, sir."

At this time, this member of the Li family called Master, it is true, but the relationship is a little far away, so he used to call him Master, but Li Chaosheng said at this time: "What are you called Master, you are all from the same clan. Seeing that you are older than me Big, I should call you big brother."

"Don't, don't, you're breaking me."

At this moment, the tenant farmers waved their hands again and again, and Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "That's enough, let's get to work."

As Li Chaosheng said, the tenant farmers took over the hoe and began to work. At this moment, a little girl about ten years old ran over quickly, followed by timidly looking at Li Chaosheng and said: "Master, my mother, my mother Let me give you this egg."

egg?

Li Chaosheng looked at the egg in the little girl's hand, and was a little surprised. After all, eggs these days are precious, and ordinary people are not willing to eat them. They are only for entertaining distinguished guests, or when someone in the family is sick, and they are only willing to eat when they are sick. give a little.

"Why did your mother give me eggs?"

Li Chaosheng looked at the little girl and asked, the little girl lowered her head and blushed and pointed to the tunnel behind her: "I, my family is plowing this land for you."

"My mother said that I will depend on you to have enough food in the future, so I will give you this egg."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Oh, that's it, then I'll accept this egg, thank your mother for me, and tell your mother for me, plant it well, and you won't be hungry in the future .”

"Ah."

After the little girl finished speaking, she ran away. Li Chaosheng touched himself and muttered, "Do I look scary?"

Li Chaosheng was thinking, and at this moment another child ran over and brought Li Chaosheng a handful of very small wild plums, which looked a little raw. At this time, the child held it in both hands and said to Li Chaosheng: "Uncle , eat the fruit, I just picked it from the tree, it’s sour, but it’s delicious, I’ll give it to you.”

"Your family also rented my land?"

Li Chaosheng looked at the child, the child nodded, Li Chaosheng waved: "Take it."

After these two families were collected, more children began to send things. They were all instigated by the adults behind. These adults were very smart, and they were a little helpless when sending these small things, but it was another matter when the children sent them.

"Uncle, try my fruit."

"Uncle, my mother asked me to give you eggs."

"Uncle, this is the wild jujube I just hit."

"Uncle, here you are, this is the mouse I just caught, it's delicious to roast!"

……

amount……

Seeing the tragically dead mouse in the child's hand, Li Chaosheng couldn't help but take a half step back. Mice, toads, snakes, these all belong to the series that may be unnecessary, but will definitely scare you. By the way, there are also cockroaches.

At this time, Li Chaosheng looked at the slightly thin mouse in the child's hand and didn't say anything. At this moment, he saw a savage peasant woman rushing towards him, whipping the warrior who caught the mouse with the bottom of her slippers.

"Hey, mother, why are you beating me? I finally caught the mouse. I want to eat it for Uncle Chaosheng. You said that Uncle Chaosheng is a good person. You should give Uncle Chaosheng such good things. This mouse is delicious when roasted." , Hey, Mom, you still hit me..."

At this time, the peasant woman apologized to Li Chaosheng while beating and scolding the child: "I'm sorry, sir, the child is ignorant, the child is ignorant."

The peasant woman apologized again and again, and Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "It's okay, Tongyan Wuji, and thank you for the gift, but I won't eat it."

After hearing this, the peasant woman picked the soles of the child's shoes again. The peasant woman was really afraid that the child would anger Li Chaosheng and cause Li Chaosheng to sublet the land to others. Then their family would not be able to live this year.
