Chapter 127 Tu La Wedding (it contains lyrics, please subscribe with caution)
Because I have to attend the wedding banquet tomorrow. Although in the eyes of Tibetans, funeral ceremonies can increase merit, but in the eyes of other ethnic groups, attending the funeral first and then attending the wedding, if no measures are taken, it is a very unusual situation. Seriously insulting and disrespectful.

So after the funeral, Chen Mu took everyone and went directly to the temple.

On the way, he urged me earnestly.

"Wait a minute if you follow me, you can do whatever I do, especially when turning the prayer wheel. The design can only be clockwise, not counterclockwise..."

"This is zangchuan Buddhism. The appearance of the Buddha statues inside is very different from the Buddha statues in the mainland. Don't be afraid, and don't be frightened by this..."

He glanced at the cameras on their mobile phones and said, "Photography is prohibited in the temple. If the monks see the camera, they will definitely stop you from entering the temple."

Qi Wei answered: "We understand this. We will put these things in the car after we get off the car."

After getting off.

Chen Mu took the lead, with a pious look on his face, moving clockwise, turning each prayer wheel with his hands...

Then he followed the monks and listened to them reciting Buddhist sutras to purify themselves...

Because it was still morning, everyone lit another butter lamp...

Early the next morning.

The group arrived at the Tu village.

Everywhere in the village was filled with joy, and even the air was filled with the aroma of highland barley wine.

As soon as Zhang Zizheng, who knows the goods, got out of the car, his nose was filled with the mellow smell.

"This wine!?" he asked in surprise.

Chen Mu nodded affirmatively: "They are all old wines that have been covered with sheep dung for more than three years."

"hiss!"

"And the wine packed in the box for today's wedding banquet is a jar that has been treasured for ten years."

"Then I must have a good drink today!"

While chatting, the group of people walked quickly towards Yin Youshui's home.

If we don’t hurry up, we’ll miss the wedding party!

Because today is the day when the woman shows her relatives, friends and neighbors one by one the betrothal gifts sent by the man, the clothes sewn by her, the dowry from the woman's side, etc.

In this link, it is not convenient for the man to show up or appear around the woman's house.

For this reason, Zhang Dale not only gave them a hand-drawn map and the route of advancement in advance, but also found a guide for them in advance.

Chen Mu looked at the little boy in front of him who only reached his waist. He was wearing a small collared gown with a four-inch colorful pattern on the chest and black pants with large crotch on the lower body. He knelt down and took out a handful of candies and gave it to him.

"Are you my Brother Dalle's brother-in-law?"

"hold head high."

Children don't recognize babies either. They accept candy when they are given it. After receiving it, they just peel one off and stuff it into their mouths.

He said vaguely and seriously: "If we don't hurry up, we will not be able to catch up with my sister to arrange the dowry."

Chen Mu rubbed his head and silently accelerated his pace.

Actually!
It didn't really matter whether there was someone who came to lead the way, because for today's banquet, everyone in the village dressed up and walked in the same direction.

Women in the village wear colorful sleeves that symbolize the land, wheat stacks, green crops, dew, blue sky, light and sun.

Unmarried girls wear their hair in round braids tied with red rope.

Married people hang "Mian Gusu Ge", which is silver earrings, under the earrings.

The young and middle-aged man wore a felt hat, a shirt with a small collar, large crotch pants and leggings underneath.

The elderly wear a hat with a walnut-sized crown on top, a slanted robe and a black waistcoat.

They are all dressed up to participate in festive festivals, when a woman marries a man.

As long as you follow them, you can find the place without any worries.

to the place.

The group of people presented their gifts one by one, then found their seats and waited for the next arrangement of the dowry.

Soon, the wedding banquet began.

First, the man entrusts the matchmaker to deliver thirty kilograms of meat (usually pork front legs and four ribs), three bottles of wine, steamed buns, and steamed flower rolls. After the matchmaker and the woman’s family have discussed the wedding sending and receiving ceremony, He left happily.

Looking at Qi Wei who kept taking pictures, Chen Mu couldn't help but reached out and patted him: "Pay attention to the battery, don't finish taking pictures now. In the evening, the woman has to send off her bride and the man has to welcome her. There are many places that need to be photographed. .”

"Ah!" Qi Wei was stunned: "There are so many intermediate procedures?"

Chen Mu cracked melon seeds and said, "Yes, tonight, the woman's house will stay up all night."

Speaking of this, Chen Mu wanted to sigh.

He had planned to get some sleep at night, but he never expected that Huang Qingwei would become very excited after learning about the wedding process, and was determined to follow the entire process without rest.

As he thought about it, Youyou couldn't help but look towards Huang Qingwei with his resentful eyes.

Huang Qingwei turned his head as if he was aware of it, smiled coquettishly, approached Chen Mu sheepishly, pulled the sleeves of his coat, waved it and said coquettishly in a low voice: "I'm sorry~~Chen Mu, this is my first time to participate. This kind of wedding!"

Chen Mu: ...

What can he do?

Of course I can only bear with it!
With a gentle smile, Chen Mu opened the zipper of his pocket, revealing a large amount of instant black coffee.

"It's okay. I know you want to watch it, but I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on. I've specially prepared more than 40 bars of black coffee, so you can watch the whole thing in full spirit."

come!

Hurt each other!
Tonight's main theme is that no one can sleep, even if you drink black coffee as water and stick your eyelids with toothpicks, in short, you can't sleep! !

Huang Qingwei shivered unconsciously.

Chen Mu spontaneously thought that she was touched by her thoughtfulness.

Zhang Zizheng heard the two people whispering, and suddenly couldn't knock the melon seeds in his mouth anymore.

He finally understood how his roommate could treat people of the opposite sex he liked as strangers and people who wanted to pursue him as friends.

With this way of chasing people, it would be weird not to fail!

He shook his head with hatred in his heart. Just when he was about to use his rich experience to give some guidance, he heard the courtyard suddenly become lively.

Yin Youshui walked out of the house wearing a colorful embroidered shirt with colorful sleeves that he had carefully sewn since he was more than ten years old, and walked to the table in the center of the yard.

A tray contained the betrothal gifts and jewelry sent by Zhang Dale.

A pile of beautiful clothes full of ethnic characteristics and girly sentiments, they are fine red and soft green, top hats, belts, fronts, shoes, etc. are piled high into a small mountain.

The last one is the dowry prepared by the mother's family.

Yin Youshui lifted these up one by one and dried them one by one with a happy face. After drying, they scattered them casually.

After showing off the last dowry piece, she went back to the house, took off her colorful clothes with a happy face, and then put on her usual clothes.

Outside the house, Yin Youshui's mother and aunt took advantage of the joyful atmosphere to neatly fold the dowry one by one and put it in the dowry box and wardrobe.

Chen Mu followed the crowd and stepped forward to give him blessings.

"I wish youshui's new sister (sister-in-law) and Dale Ge will get married, and they will be as sweet as honey." Yin Youshui accepted everyone's blessings with a blushing face.

When the last person's blessing words fell, the last dowry was also put into the box and locked.

at once.

Yin Youshui, who was still smiling a moment ago, changed his face the next second, looking sad and with tears in his eyes.

Beautiful words of tears flowed from her mouth.

Oops——
The mountain god who has dedicated himself to feeding the local people,

Your sincere descendants will be prosperous today!
Mountain God, you come to this world like a whirlwind,
Come care about future generations as usual!
Oops——
Grandpa, who has long since passed away from his grandchildren,
Your poor granddaughter needs to be sent away today!

Grandpa, you come to this world like a whirlwind,
Come care for your granddaughter as if you were alive!
Oops——
Grandma who is so kind to her grandchildren,

Your poor granddaughter has to spend today!
Grandma’s great kindness has not been repaid.

Grandma’s deep love is not repaid!

Just sing like this, thank the mountain god, thank the land owner, and then thank your parents, brother, sister-in-law and sisters.

When the crying marriage comes to an end.

The banquet began.

There is a lot of food on the table.

Specialty snacks, very particular, such as halihai for entertaining guests; deep-fried buns (fried with earth-pressed peanuts, which look like octagonal hats); hand-caught mutton eaten hot; fried noodles with ghee; and the main dish , highland barley stewed lamb chops...

They are all traditional delicacies of the Tu people, and you can imagine how delicious they are at a glance.

Of course, the highlight today is the ten-year-old highland barley wine.

Everyone's attention fell on the jar of wine that was brought out. The moment the lid was opened, a rich and mellow aroma of highland barley wine instantly penetrated into the nostrils, arousing the cravings of all the wine lovers present. The insect was tickled until it was tickled.

"I believe it now, why do you say that even the sparrows passing by the Tu tribe can drink three taels..."

At the table opposite Zhang Zizheng, he had already drank a jar of ten kilograms of highland barley wine. He didn't fill his stomach before drinking, his face didn't turn red after drinking, and his words were true, just like the eight village names who didn't drink.

Then look at the table where there are many girls, so what is served is only a jar of two kilograms of wine. It doesn’t look like much, but after only one person drank a glass, the girls Li Wanmian and Zhang Wenjing are already showing their drunkenness, with their cheeks flushed. .

In fact, the taste of highland barley wine is not good for people who like to drink white wine.

But for people who like rice wine and red wine, they will find its taste familiar and delicious.

Especially when paired with red wine and beer, the taste is very close to the real taste and flavor of highland barley wine.

It was the first time for Huang Qingwei to drink highland barley wine. After drinking a glass of wine, he curled his lips, then stuck out the tip of his tongue, and tentatively dipped a little bit more into it. After recollecting it with a grimace, his face wrinkled into a bun.

She said with a naive smile: "Chen Mu, it's sweet." Then she said with a bitter face: "It's so spicy!" Then she frowned: "It's sour!" Finally, she pouted her mouth and stuck out her tongue, with an unhappy face: "It's so bitter. so bitter!"

The four flavors of highland barley are: sweet, spicy, sour, and bitter.

But depending on the season and brewing method, one of the four flavors will be particularly prominent and obvious.

The reason why the Tu people are famous for their highland barley wine is because the wine they brew has a balanced taste of four flavors, but the taste is slightly different due to seasonal brewing reasons.

While drinking, one glass after another of ten-year-old highland barley wine was served to everyone.

"Eat well and drink well, eat well and drink well!"

With that said, another jar of two kilograms of wine was delivered to the banquet.

After seeing the temperature on the wine jar clearly, Chen Mu's face turned pale.

He took the last jar of unfinished wine, shook it and said, "No, no, no, this jar is enough for us to drink."

Unexpectedly, the wine server was very enthusiastic and ignored his dissuasion. He smiled heartily and put the two jars on the table again.

"How can this be possible! Brother Dalle has told us that we must entertain you well. Don't worry, the Tu tribe has nothing, but this wine steward is enough!"

With that said, he patted Chen Mu's shoulder, whose legs were weak, and sent the wine to the next table with a smile.

The next table was composed of Li Gengyun and most of the boys in the group. When the person serving the wine said this, he slapped the table arrogantly: "How can two jars be enough? At least three jars are enough!"

The Tu people love to drink, so when I saw these people being so heroic, I immediately felt that they were all close friends in drinking.

"Bang!" A jar of ten kilograms of highland barley wine was placed on the table.

Li Gengyun:......

Jiang Linhui:......

Others: ...

Suddenly, the air was filled with awkward silence.

"Unbelievable!"

Chen Mu shook his head, lowered his head and asked Zhang Zizheng, "How much can you drink?"

Zhang Zizheng, who had already drank a cup of ten-year-old wine, was already a little dizzy. His eyes were confused and he said slowly, "Ah? How much? Eight taels, maybe."

"Haha!" Chen Mu laughed sarcastically: "I'm so confused after just three drinks. How many eight taels are there?!"

As he spoke, he looked at Huang Qingwei, who was sipping highland barley wine beside him, and took advantage of the gap to reach out and cover the wine glass.

"Be good, drink less, the highland barley wine is intoxicating."

"Ah?" Huang Qingwei's eyes were already bright, but he still pulled away Chen Mu's hand, pouted and said unhappily: "It's sweet, I want to drink it."

Chen Mu sighed and stopped trying to persuade her. He let go of his hand and gave her some food to fill her stomach.

Then he faced Li Wanmian, who was trying hard to eat highland barley stewed lamb chops, and Zhang Wenjing, who was seriously savoring the food. His lips opened and finally closed.

Got it!
Although highland barley wine is intoxicating, it can sober up quickly, so you should have enough time.

Looking at the time uncertainly, Chen Mu took out his cell phone and sent a message to Zhang Dale. He ordered four or five alarm clocks, ate a few bites of food, padded his stomach, and carried his baby. Wine jar, slithering towards the table of village cadres.

Anyway, we have to talk about future farmhouse cooperation.

In this case, of course it is better to talk with alcohol!
Anyway...

Chen Mu turned his head and looked at the wine jar on the table, and trembled unconsciously.

Tu people love wine, to what extent do they love wine?

I love it so much that even the children in the village, both men and women, can drink it. I love it so much that the only requirement for a banquet is to either drink it all or get drunk!

So, instead of waiting to be fed later, it is better to take the initiative to drink now.

When the Tu village chief saw Chen Mu coming, he laughed and moved two by two to make a place for him: "Boss Chen, is the wine in our village delicious?"

Chen Mu directly gave a thumbs up: "Okay, great!"

As he spoke, he made an afterthought expression on his face: "Especially that cup of ten-year-old highland barley, it's so fragrant, but it's a pity..."

Just when he was about to change his pretense and reminisce about it, the Tu secretary stood up directly after hearing this, went to the jar himself, poured out three glasses of wine, and placed them in front of Chen Mu.

He said warmly: "Don't worry, in our village, if nothing else, there are enough drinks!"

Chen Mu paused, tried his best to smile, swallowed his saliva, and then paid tribute to everyone one by one.

I didn't stop drinking until my consciousness was spinning and completely blurred...
