Villager of Daming

Chapter 1130: Songs and dances adapted to local conditions

The officials of Gaizhou County looked at the pigs and sheep being processed in Xiaqiu Village and felt that this group of people were just doing this. What a neat job!

Especially the village guard in Xiaqiu Village, who is so quick when killing pigs! As soon as the hot water was poured in, the pig's hair faded, and there were people nearby who were burning pig's trotters, pig's tail, and pig's head with fire-breathing things.

The pigs whose internal organs were removed were divided into two fans, and the villagers divided them into various kinds of meat. Oops! It won’t work at this time, there’s still a lot of meat on the bones! What kind of knife do you use?
Zhu Ju, the fifth child, swallowed his saliva and said, "We have braised pork ribs! The sauced bones are also fragrant. There are a lot of marrow, right? Use an angle grinder to cut them. The spine is stewed with pickled cabbage for the children of Jiang Wu's family to nibble and play. , after they finish chewing the dog, why don’t they leave the big bone stick for the dog?”

He started to distribute them. Those were the bones. Who would they give them to? If he wants to eat the bone marrow, he must cut it. How can the dog chew and play with it after cutting it?

"Your Highness, as long as you have eaten the bone marrow, our dog can eat anything and is not picky."

When Jiang Wu saw that His Highness King Wu was struggling, he quickly spoke out. Even though he thought it would be more difficult for dogs to eat bones like that, dogs were indeed smart, but they preferred to eat large raw bones, which were less likely to be injured.

"Go to the market and buy a bunch of bones and come back to feed the dogs. No one wants those bones." Ling'er solved the problem with one sentence.

"Those who have cattle, I guarantee they have cattle. Big animals are not immortal." The county magistrate Niu Jinde next to him said carefully.

"Go and order some, and then ask the people from Xiaqiu Village to help deal with it. His hounds are very sensible, better than normal guard dogs!"

For example, making dumplings stuffed with three delicacies and using river shrimp is not very popular among seaside people.

They have no shortage of seafood to eat, but no one cooks it properly for them. They have limited cooking skills and few key seasonings.

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone had dinner. It was still a seafood feast, and the local officials began to swallow their saliva.

However, Xiaqiu Village can cook a full range of cuisines, so everyone can find what they like. If it doesn't work, consider adding additional dipping sauces.

The Jiang Wu family's hounds never lack bones to eat. If they really eat them, they are hounds.

In fact, gout has a strong genetic component. Some people can eat whatever they want, but some people will still get it no matter how careful they are.

When eating brine prawns, some people say that the taste is not strong enough. It is easy to handle. Is it a separate dipping sauce? Should it be dipped in dry ingredients or wet ingredients? Hundreds of ingredients can be displayed.

High uric acid does not necessarily cause gout, but gout guarantees high uric acid.

All eating habits are formed by the output of resources. Only people who always travel to different places can gradually adapt to the eating styles of different places.

Everyone drinks cold beer, and yesterday they even said they wanted to drink rice wine! I changed it today, whether it contains purine or not!

Give a raw big bone stick in the morning. If you can eat it until the next day, the hound will not be willing to eat it. Otherwise, it will be chewed up and eaten by the same night. It is so powerful!
But you can’t give it every day, otherwise the dog will compete with the bones all day long, which is not good for the teeth.

Zhu Xi arranged that he would not dare to eat anything bought outside here, and it had to go through the Xiaqiu Village test. It didn't matter if it was given to dogs.

The seafood that fishermen at the seaside usually eat is not delicious. They have nothing to do. They are used to eating it at the same time. They have been exposed to it since they took milk and complementary foods. If they don’t eat these, what will they eat?
People from the mainland go to the beach to try the boiled and fishy food that people at the beach usually make.

The princes are using their chopsticks, and the maids and eunuchs are performing at the same time. They will drink very late today, and the maids and eunuchs have to assign tasks.

It’s not just about who’s on stage for how long or what they’re performing, it also includes those who take breaks. Some of them have to sleep when others are eating, and they get up to change shifts when others go to bed.

Under special circumstances, everyone has to get up, including those who are sleeping soundly. In this case, you have to see the doctor more often to stay healthy. Don't wake up suddenly when something happens and then die suddenly. This proves that your body functions have not been adjusted properly.

Especially for those who work 24 hours a day and have a 48-hour break, and have a 48-hour break, they are not getting a good rest. After working twenty-four hours, I would run to play after work, then go to bed, sleep for a few hours, and then run to play again.

When I went to work again, I actually didn’t have much rest, and I even just passed the state of excitement. At this time, I stayed up for another day and night...

In the prince's team, it's not like you can do whatever the time is given to you. You can't just embroider if you think you can persist. You can embroider for a day and a night, and then take up the post. It's okay for you to die suddenly, but it's okay for you to die because you delayed things? Even your family will be cleaned up.

Therefore, the twenty-four and forty-eight days off are not holidays. They are based on eight hours of working time every day and night.

If this continues for a long time, it means that there is no day off.

The palace maids and eunuchs have holidays, and they have one day off every ten days. They usually change shifts. During the holidays, they are willing to work, but they are not tired.

Because there is no psychological burden and it is not within the scope of their responsibilities, they are resting!

At this time, they don't look at their work, but they are in a relaxed state. When their mentality is relaxed, some work efficiency is actually higher.

Gaizhou County officials also relaxed now, because there were songs and dances, making the scene less serious.

The key point is that what the eunuch and the maid brought out were all new lyrics and music cards, that is, the music was the same but the words were different, and one melody had many words.

This shows that there are fewer people who can compose music and more people who can write lyrics. The number of literati who can play musical instruments is less than the total number of literati, because musical instruments require money to buy and learn.

People who don’t have much money can’t afford books, so they can only borrow them from others. Who can teach them to play an instrument? The trumpet must have copper, the drum must have good leather, and the harp must have horse tail and rosin...

If you don’t have money, what do you want to study? Seah? The one with twenty-five strings, and then after it was broken, there were fifty strings for no reason...

You don’t want to learn the zither anymore, do you? Too many strings, expensive! So if you are learning the guqin, which has seven strings, who can you ask to cut the qin for you? Do you produce wood yourself? What wood is used for the pillow? What kind of wire is used for the strings?

Do you want to learn to chime? That thing feels easy to ring, but there are too many bells, so...

So it is better to play the flute. This thing is cheap. The flute membrane can be found anywhere. The one inside the reed will do. Then stick it with garlic juice. When sticking, don’t tighten it too tightly. It will break when you blow it. Don’t loosen it. It makes too much noise.

Therefore, many officials do not have the opportunity to learn. Since their families are poor, it is difficult to learn an instrument, not to mention composing, which is time-consuming and the most important thing is not to take the imperial examination! In every dynasty, composition and musical instruments were not tested in the imperial examinations.

"Your Highness, these Qupai ministers have never heard of Ci!"

Ma Fei hummed a few words and kept looking at the four princes. When one of them glanced over, he quickly said, proving that he was involved!
"You are quite clever." Zhu Xi admitted that the other party's behavior really impressed him.

Then he patiently explained: "Xiaqiu Village has filled in Song lyrics, as well as metrical poems. In addition, they have added special tunes. You will know them later in the evening. They deliberately left them unperformed to avoid the occasion. You will know the songs in the evening." Singing and dancing.”

"Actually, it's dispensable. One more piece of music will bring more feelings. What the people really need is to eat well, wear well, and become literate in the future. Then we can build spiritual civilization. Yes, that's the way to say it."

Zhu Fan then said that Xiaqiu Village gave him a bunch of lyrics, but he didn't care, because he was afraid that the previous songs and dances would be too monotonous.
