The characteristics of Hakka dishes that have been formed for a long time have been preserved and continued. In addition, it is also related to the closed traffic environment of Dongjiang. Eastern Guangdong is a mountainous area, so it is no wonder that military camps are stationed here.Along the way, "half city with mountains and half city with lake", the ancients described it really well.

However, due to the inconvenient transportation in the mountainous area, Hakka cuisine is less affected by the outside world, so that Hakka cuisine has formed itself over a long period of time, evolved by itself and became a family of its own.

"I'll drive!" He Junyao said.

Chang Jiuchun stretched his hands and sat on the passenger seat in a flash. He Junyao also sat firmly on the driver's seat the moment he left.This is like performing acrobatics, the speed is really fast, the two of them shifted in the blink of an eye.

"Where are we going?" Fang Monan asked curiously. [

"Eat authentic Hakka food." He Junyao glanced at the rearview mirror and said.

After driving for about half an hour, they entered the outskirts of the city, because Fang Monan saw that there were already scattered houses on the roadside.Unlike later generations, due to urbanization between cities, the houses built are all close together. No wonder everyone jokes that we are all suburbs of the capital.

The car got off the road, walked on the dirt road for about 10 minutes, and stopped.Along the way, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, I also saw some things that I hadn’t seen before, that is, the Hakka people’s enclosures. In the past, I only saw the magnificent round enclosures of the Hakka people in southern Fujian in the film and television materials.

Unexpectedly, this is a square enclosed house, which is also a typical Hakka dwelling. Fang Monan and the others got out of the car and observed closely. The outside is relatively well preserved, with blue bricks and black tiles. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.

"This place is good, and the feng shui is good." Fang Monan nodded and smiled.

"Oh!" He Junyao raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Monan.

Fang Monan explained, "Look at this Hakka enclosure, which is built on the hillside, with a semi-circular pond in front. Like a Tai Chi pattern, the house on land is yang, and the water in front of the house is yin. Yin and yang are reconciled. Meaning. The whole enclosed house takes the main hall as the central axis core, which shows the core position of the ancestral hall in the Hakka family concept; , from the Fengshui pond to the main building, following the trend from low to high. It presents a Fengshui trend of "climbing higher step by step" or "rising higher step by step". The above Fengshui layout is actually based on Hakka traditional etiquette, ethical concepts and Fengshui customs Specific performance."

"It turns out that there are so many Taoisms in it, take the space to practice and read the full text!" Chang Jiuchun nodded, "I have been taught."

"And you have to eat authentic Hakka local dishes. You can only do it in Hakka dwellings, and the restaurants are all improved." Fang Monan laughed.

"Well! I have a comrade-in-arms who lives here." He Junyao said in a deep voice, with a hint of sadness and sadness in his tone.

Did his comrade-in-arms die, Fang Monan didn't ask any more questions.

The three of them walked inside, and it was very quiet inside.I didn't see a single person along the way, and it was a bit dilapidated and desolate inside.There are mottled marks of time on the wall.The old-fashioned enclosure, the wooden door and the walls are not big.

Looking at the traces of the years, Fang Monan said with emotion, "We walked in front of the rows of old houses to welcome the clouds and smoke of the years. The mottled brick walls witnessed the warmth of the old days, and the dilapidated doors. Tell What kind of miss. The green grass has spread to the front of the steps, and the old man’s exhortations seem to be still heard. The moon of the Qing Dynasty hangs in the sky on one side, illuminating the wanderer’s heart. The wall on the other side surrounds the roots of the Hakka people. Nostalgia and nostalgia cannot live."

The three of them walked on the road paved with green bricks, as if stepping into the long river of time.The vicissitudes and loneliness of history are coming.

Hakka Enclosed Houses, as the name suggests, are the main customs and characteristic dwellings of the Hakka group, but the names are different in different places: Gan is called "Tuweizi", Fujian is called "Tulou", Hakka in northern Guangdong are called "Sijiaolou", and some in Lingnan are called "Tulou". It is called "Wailongwu" in some places, and "Waiwu" in some places.

The entire enclosed house takes the main hall and ancestral hall as the central axis, which shows the core position of the ancestral hall in the Hakka family concept; the main structure is "three entrances, three halls, two rooms and one enclosure", that is, the structure is based on the main hall and ancestral hall in the middle.The main hall has three entrances and a square structure, which is divided into upper hall, middle hall and lower hall (three entrances).On the left and right sides of the main hall, there are horizontal houses with the same square structure, referred to as "horizontal" for short.From the main hall to the outside, the concentric semicircular housing structure expands layer by layer, and each layer is called a "circle".The number of floors of the surrounding dragons is generally equal to the number of rows of horizontal houses on one side, thus forming an architectural pattern of "two halls, two horizontal walls and one surrounding dragon".

The appearance of the surrounding house is relatively simple, without complicated and fancy brick carvings and other decorations. It is simple and durable, and has nurtured generations of people.

"Liao Jinkai lives here." Chang Jiuchun suddenly remembered that he was a Hakka person. Hearing the captain mention it, he remembered that Liao Jinkai could cook Hakka dishes, and he could still remember the taste so far, which shows how good it is.

"Yeah!" He Junyao nodded. [

"I remember, his knees..." Chang Jiuchun hadn't finished speaking when he saw an old lady with silvery white hair walking towards her, holding a bamboo basket filled with freshly picked vegetables.Roughly speaking, there are green peppers, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes and other common vegetables.When she walked, she didn't tremble at all, and it could be seen that her body was very healthy and tough.

The three went up to meet him, and Chang Jiuchun asked loudly, "Grandma, may I ask, where does Liao Jinkai live? I am his comrade in arms."

The old lady stopped and looked up at the three people in front of her, "You don't need to be so loud, I can still hear you, old lady." She paused and continued, "Look for my family Jinkai!"

"You are Liao's mother!" Chang Jiuchun asked guessingly.

"Come with me!" Mother Liao turned around and walked in, Chang Jiuchun reached out to take the bamboo basket in her hand, "Mother Liao, let me come!"

"No need! The old woman can still carry this weight." Mother Liao politely refused.

"I know the old man is in good health, but let me do it!" Chang Jiuchun took the basket in her hand.

"Your son is really rare. I won't argue with you anymore. Come with me!" The old man started on the road again.

Turning left and right, turning seven and eight finally came to the innermost house. "Jing Kai! Your comrade-in-arms is here."

"Grandma! Who do you think is here?" A tall man ran out of the house and left, but his running posture was rather strange.He was wearing big navy blue trousers made of rough cloth, his arms were bare, and he was holding a semi-finished bamboo weaving in his hand. It seemed that he should be a bamboo hat concubine room.

He raised his eyes and saw the three people standing at the door, "Wow..." The bamboo hat fell to the ground, and just as he staggered, Chang Jiuchun and He Junyao stepped up to support him to prevent him from falling.

Fang Monan took the vegetable basket from Chang Jiuchun's hand. She looked at this tall man in his 40s, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and pale skin. It was obvious that he hadn't seen the sun all year round, and his skin was white.

Liao Jinkai looked to the left excitedly, his lips trembling, "Ajiu!" He turned his head to the right, "Battle Commander, you...you...why are you here."

"Please come in, Mom, they are my comrades in arms. I think we fought side by side on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang." He said excitedly, "Come in." He shouted into the room, "Cuixia, we We have guests at home."

He Junyao and Chang Jiuchun carried him into the room together. Inside, a dark and thin middle-aged woman quickly took out a few bamboo chairs and put them in the living room, then turned around and left the living room.

The two slowly sat down with Liao Jinkai on his back. Liao Jinkai's right leg was obviously not bent, and he just poked it straight.

"Jinkai, your leg was healed back then, why is it like this?" Chang Jiuchun asked, pointing at his leg.He remembered that when he went to the military hospital to see him, the leg was obviously fine.

"Sequelae! I was scratched by a stream that year. After half a year of treatment and recovery, I can walk, but I can't squat. The minimum angle between the calf and thigh can only reach about 90 degrees. I feel numb in the knee, and I don't I know what's going on! It looks normal to my knees! There is no problem in walking. It looks strange when I run. I can't use much strength when walking up a steep slope. If I go up and down stairs, I can only go up and down first. Walk with your right foot." Liao Jinkai said. "Fortunately, there are few steps here!"

"I went to the hospital and asked, the doctor, they said that the sequelae can't be cured." Liao Jinkai smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Cuixia and Liao's mother brought three large bowls of tea, and the three of He Junyao hurriedly got up to take them.

"It's something from the country, don't mind, this tea is picked from the back mountain and fried at home. The water is very sweet from the spring." Liao Jinkai explained hastily. "We usually drink it by ourselves to moisten our throats, quench our thirst, and prevent heatstroke."

"Oh! It's delicious!" Chang Jiuchun gurgled...drinking more than half of the bowl. [

Fang Mo Nan was drinking tea while looking at the living room, which was simple and clean. In the center of the wall was a portrait of ** with the red sun written on it.There are no household appliances, and if an old-fashioned radio is an appliance.Overhead is a 30-watt tungsten light bulb.The furniture is all bamboo.

"There must be mint in it!" Fang Monan said with a sip. "Good tea!"

"It's planted in the yard." Liao Jinkai said.

Chang Jiuchun poured the remaining half bowl of tea, wiped his mouth and said, "You are so straight when you go to the toilet." Chang Jiuchun asked, staring at his legs.Seeing Liao Jinkai nodding, Chang Jiuchun shook his head and said, "It's really hard for you."

"Doctor Fang, can you see Lao Liao's legs? How uncomfortable it is!" Chang Jiuchun put down the medicine box. After the last lesson, he remembered to carry the medicine box on his back all the time.

"It's hard to say, it's okay to get used to it. It's just that I can't do heavy physical work, and I can't help my family plant the land. All the burdens fall on the shoulders of Cuixia and my parents. I am really ashamed." Liao Jinkai said. , The tears flowed down.

"Who said that you are lucky to come back alive, it's just that one leg is inconvenient! Your hand is not broken." Liao's mother went back and forth, "Look at the bamboo weaving on the stone pier at the door. , didn’t you make it up and buy it all by yourself.”

"Grandmother, those are only worth a few bucks. They are all agricultural bamboo weaving. They are bought by the nearby villagers during the market or autumn harvest. Usually, who would want them? They can't be sold for a price." Liao Jinkai said don't go I have gold on my face, and I know how much I weigh.
