- Chapter 285 Ancestor Worship
Walking on the village path paved with green hills, when they turned a corner, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. A three-room house with green bricks and red tiles, leaning against the green hills, appeared in front of everyone. In front of the house, it was surrounded by a fence. A small yard.
"Let's go. This is my home. I haven't been back for almost a year. I don't know how dirty it is. I probably need you to help me clean it up."
Such a yard, in such a green mountain, has a sense of tranquility, simplicity, square shape, and great natural interest. Of course, this is the feeling that people who are used to living in the city have when they first arrive. They really have to live here for a year and a half, relying on hunting, gathering herbs and planting every day, and they can¡¯t even see what time each meal is. Oil star, there is no guarantee for the stomach, it seems that they are still quiet.
It is undeniable that Zhanibiya, who has never seen the "worldly world", suddenly fell in love with a place like this. Jenny, whether in the United States or Spain, you rarely see such a scene. Even if you do, it is a small villa for rich people; and Biya, hey, naturally there is no way to come into contact with the beautiful women living in the palace. These so-called "beautiful views". As for Lin Yufei, she was Burmese after all. Even though she had almost never left the headquarters when she was in Mandalay, the road from Mandalay to Naypyitaw was enough to see everything. Hey, a house with blue bricks and red tiles like this is pretty good in Myanmar, but more of them are thatched houses However, after looking at it for a few times, Lin Yufei said a little strangely:
"Well, Tang and Song, your house is located on the mound behind. Aren't you afraid that there will be mudslides if it rains heavily?"
Debris flows, a highly destructive natural disaster, are not only common in southern China, but also common in Myanmar. It is also mountainous and rainy there. Every time there is a big storm, there will be large and small debris flows. People will be affected by disasters, and people will be killed and injured Therefore, even people like Lin Yufei who never leave home know that the house must not be too close to the foot of the mountain, let alone be built on some channels that may cause flash floods, otherwise, Maybe one night if I sleep, I will die without a burial place.
Unexpectedly, Tang Song smiled and said:
"You probably don't know this, right? The small mound behind the house is not made of soil at all, but a whole big stone, so it is extremely safe to build the house there. There will be no mudslides or strong winds. Falling rocks.¡±
Lin Yufei was relieved. She had been living in the mountains for countless years. How could she not know the severity of mudslides? Of course she would not make that kind of mistake when building a house. Hey, he couldn't be worse than her, right?
"Well, let's go in and have a look."
Tang and Song took the first step, opened the fence door, walked in, and said as they walked:
"I used to have a hunting dog at home. It was originally raised by my father, but it usually likes to run around behind me. Su Qing has also seen that dog. Unfortunately, it is really a fierce dog. Because of the sudden change of my parents, I don¡¯t know whether it was because I was sad that the owner was gone or because I blamed myself for not protecting my parents. Therefore, before my parents were buried, the dog suddenly stopped eating or drinking. Until the day of my parents¡¯ burial, the dog suddenly stopped eating. It starved to death. Alas Finally, I dug a hole in front of my parents' graves and buried it too. Since it was so reluctant to leave my parents, let's continue to accompany them underground and continue to protect them. By the way, then The blood of this dog is very common. It is an ordinary hunting dog. It can also be called a native dog. Its name is more common, Rhubarb, because its fur is yellow"
"The tone may seem plain, but the content is an earth-shattering story of loyalty. All the girls were startled when they heard it. Is there really such a legendary story in their minds?
In fact, they all know that although Tang and Song Dynasties were sentimental about Dahuang's loyalty, they were more sentimental about the tragic death of their parents. With the current achievements of the Tang and Song Dynasties, if my parents were here, what kind of life would they not enjoy? You can have whatever you want and do whatever you want. This is the greatest happiness and the best life for them who have been miserable all their lives. It's a pity that I want to raise my son but my mother is not here
The way the girls looked at Tang and Song Dynasty finally looked a little different. After all, the Chinese people's concept of parental affection is very different from that of the Western world. Especially for Jenny, she seems to have finally realized it
The door was unlocked and seemed to have been left casually. There are never any outsiders here, and there is nothing valuable at home, so of course there is no need for such things. If there is, it will cause estrangement between neighboring villagers. Hey, in this isolated mountain village, doesn't locking it mean that there are thieves in the village, and does it mean to be wary of them?
"Well, everyone, come in, the room is a bit shabby, haha, don't laugh at me" Tang Song gathered his thoughts, opened the door and smiled.
Who can laugh at him here, and who dares to laugh at him?
Everyone filed in.
The things in the room are indeed a bit crude. In the middle of the room is a three-meter-long incense cabinet with an incense burner and candlestick on it. In the middle of the wall hangs a statue of a god that is so old that its original appearance is almost unclear. As for the furniture, there was only a square table and a few bamboo stools, and then nothing else.
However, I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s because of the lush forests in the mountains and the lack of dust or something else. Although there aren¡¯t many furnitures in the room, it¡¯s very clean. It doesn¡¯t look like no one has visited it for months at all. If you reach out and touch it on the table, you¡¯ll feel it. Not much dust.
The girls originally thought of cleaning up after putting down their things, but it seemed there was no need.
After putting down the things, Tang and Song didn't even need to say hello. As soon as a group of people were waiting, they started to mess around. Love Lin Yufei, Zhanni Biya, the little girl and the others first got familiar with the environment, while Liu Wei opened the luggage that was brought and took out the things inside.
Because we were worshiping ancestors and bringing some gifts to the mountain people, there were a lot of things in this luggage, all of which were bought in Changsha by the Tang and Song Dynasties under the instructions of Liu Wei.
There are firecrackers and candles, paper money tributes, ingredients and condiments, toys and other things that children like, and hunting knives, bows and crossbows that adults like, etc. - Hunters are interested in these destructive things. Interested.
It¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve today. Firecrackers and candles are a must. No matter what, we must have a New Year atmosphere. Tributes are also a must, and they must be rich. We only came back a year ago. No matter what, we must make sure that my parents eat well. I¡¯m full; as for the paper money, well, I need all their help to fold it. This is the filial piety of the children and what their wives should do. With several wives together, I believe that in a short time, the parents will be able to make money underground. Big hair. As for the children's slingshots, Transformers, airplanes, trains, etc., it's better to wait for the little guys to come and pick them up later.
After taking out various things, one of the six guards who was proficient in cooking took the ingredients and condiments and went to the rather simple kitchen; the other packed his luggage and arranged their gifts according to the requirements of the Tang and Song Dynasties, so as to save time. Messy. As for the remaining four, they began to cut paper and fold money under the command of Tang and Song Dynasties. This is a delicate job that they, who were born in Myanmar, do not know how to do. They still need to demonstrate it in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In fact, let alone them, even today's urbanites, such as Zhong Yasuqing, don't know how to do it. Oh, this kind of traditional thing is only popular in rural areas. In the city, a ghost coin is 100 million or 1 billion. Who would stack that thing?
After successfully teaching the four girls, Zhong Qing, Yufei, and the other five of them also came back shouting, and they all muttered that the air here is so good and the mountains and rivers here are really nourishing. Otherwise, one of them would not I will turn into a pretty boy
Pretty boy? Tang Song's face darkened slightly and he shouted:
"Come here, show your filial piety to your parents-in-law, grandparents, grandparents, and parents Here are two pieces of paper. If you don't fold them all into money, lunch will be postponed indefinitely!" Father-in-law, mother-in-law, of course that's right. Love Lin Yufei, Jenny said it; the grandparents said it to Biya, who made her still the apprentice of Tang and Song Dynasties, so although she is not the youngest in the team now, she is indeed the youngest by seniority. ; As for the parents, of course they were talking to Qu Feiyan. It was the first time he met his adoptive parents, and they were no longer here. If they didn¡¯t show off, it wouldn¡¯t be justified, right? How could her adoptive parents protect her if they were underground?
When the girls heard this, their laughter immediately stopped. Although today is New Year's Eve, it is obviously an unhappy day for Tang and Song Dynasties. Who makes him the only real Tang family member? To a certain extent, it would not be wrong to say that he was an orphan. So, it's better to be good and not cause trouble for him. Besides, if you perform better now, your impression in someone's mind will be different, right?
So, all the girls sat down obediently and crowded on the few stools, and Tang Song once again acted as the master.
Speaking of which, these women are all very clever people, and folding paper money is not a complicated task, so the Tang and Song Dynasties taught them all in a short time. Of course, I'm just learning, so there's no guarantee of speed, but the advantage is that there are more people and more power, so it's no problem to solve two pieces of paper by lunch time.
After leaving several large pieces of paper packed in bags, Tang Song cut both pieces of paper, and then he went out.
The girls looked at his retreating back, looked at each other, and all stuck out their tongues. However, they didn't dare to laugh or talk to belittle someone. That guy's ears were so powerful that he didn't dare to say anything behind his back. Bad words
The Tang and Song Dynasties wanted to go into the mountains to find some game. This was not only for the purpose of offering sacrifices, but also to provide meat to the girls.
Although the sacrifices he bought were rich enough, he didn't know if his parents, who had lived in the mountains and forests all their lives, could get used to eating those foreign things. So naturally, he had to prepare some game so that they could get used to it. something. AgainWell, since the girls are here for the first time, they naturally want to have a taste of local specialties.
Souvenirs, of course, not only refer to wild animals, but also plants, such as bamboo shoots. Although it is winter now, there are still bamboo shoots, but they are called winter bamboo shoots, and they are still hidden underground. Only those with good eyesight can dig them out. Hey, this is the most delicious food in the mountains, they will definitely like it.
As for game, of course we have to catch some, but there won¡¯t be many around here, and there won¡¯t be any large animals. Although rabbits don¡¯t eat grass around their nests, over time, some small animals will be attracted to hunting. The guys are very playful, so they have already touched up almost all the gadgets around here. The only ones they have are some things that no one likes. As for large animals, it is even more impossible. For the safety of the village, Those things have been cleared up long ago.
Therefore, the Tang and Song Dynasties just wanted to find some representative game, and did not think of any weird tricks. They could just find some pheasants and hares. At least, it was impossible for the girls to eat like this. Freshly cooked game.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, no swords or guns were used for hunting, but winter bamboo shoots still had to be dug with tools. So, I picked up a shovel, said hello to Zhong Qing, and went out.
In fact, all the girls also wanted to try hunting, but unfortunately, they did not dare to speak, and facing the other girls, Tang and Song did not want them to go. If one of these ducks follows behind, then everyone will definitely get involved. Who will give his parents money by then? What's more, it doesn't mean that it's safe in the mountains, so ladies like them should forget it. If we really want to hunt, it would be okay if the Six Guards come over.
After crossing a mountain ridge that is not too high, we have reached the back mountain, which can also be regarded as the beginning of the hunting area. There are also small animals gradually appearing, such as squirrels, which even in winter do not miss the opportunity to play. Besides, the weather is pretty good today and it's not too cold.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, they fully opened their ears and searched for all the sounds they could hear. Anyway, there¡¯s no need to worry about the winter bamboo shoots just lying there, let¡¯s find one or two prey first. Hey, it would be a joke if he even came back empty-handed from hunting.
There are so many benefits to hunting with ears like those of Tang and Song. At least, it can guarantee safety, and there will basically be no danger, let alone large carnivores. At least, he can search for movements underground. Hey, those little guys think they can escape by hiding underground. His clutches? That's just a joke that's not funny.
Now, Tang and Song Dynasties have found a delicious food.
????????? How about a bowl of snake soup in the middle of winter? That is absolutely delicious. You know, apart from farmed snakes, where can you find wild ones in winter? How can farmed things compare to wild ones? What's more, snakes basically don't eat in winter, and their stomachs are clean, so eating them is absolutely tonic.
"I just don't know if those girls dare to eat snakes However, since he has discovered it, he can't let it go no matter what. Hey, even if others don't like this thing, he just likes it.
Carrying a shovel, he walked to the gap where the snake was hiding. Tang Song roared first and knocked the thing unconscious. After even the coiled snake formation loosened, Tang Song waved the shovel
Originally, I only wanted to use this thing to deal with winter bamboo shoots, but I didn¡¯t expect it could be used for other purposes. Well, there are so many people, one seems not enough, so let¡¯s get a few more. Anyway, in the rainy and hot places in the south, there may not be many other things, but snakes, as long as you have eyesight and ability, you can have as many as you want. As long as they don't hide too deep and are easy to dig, they'll be fine.
Sure enough, when Tang and Song Dynasty paid attention to the movement of snakes, their ears immediately discovered how many hibernating guys Then find a shallower place and dig a few more. Well, three or four of them are enough to cook. A big pot of soup.
With a slight smile, Tang Song gathered up the first thing, a cauliflower python that weighed more than a kilogram. It was non-toxic but the meat was tender and very fresh. In fact, speaking of it, the meat of venomous snakes is more tender, tender and delicious, just like puffer fish. It is not that poisonous and probably does not taste that good, so there is a saying that you will eat puffer fish to your death.
Half an hour later, Tang Song already had four or five snakes on his hands, all weighing more than a kilogram, some non-venomous and some venomous. However, this thing is not safe in hand. If he suddenly wakes up and takes a bite or two on his arm, it will become a joke. As for killing it, the taste will be much worse by then
Tang Song thought for a while, and then directly sent a message to Xiao Shitou's father in the village, asking him to come over and help, take the snake back and deal with it. Naturally, everyone had lunch together.
Little Shitou¡¯s father is called Lao Shitou. Of course, this is a nickname, but no one in the village calls him by his real name now. They all use nicknames to describe his tough and bad temper. Old stones are not only originalHe has the best relationship with the Tang and Song families, and he himself is the best at making snake soup. No one in the village can compare with him. If Tang and Song didn't want to waste the good things they had, it would be better to hire experts. Besides, it was time to get together after being away for more than half a year. Besides, he would only stay here for half a day, and he would go to Changsha in the afternoon, and then go to Shanghai On the first day of the New Year, I always wish my father-in-law the New Year.
Lao Shitou was naturally startled by the sudden sound in his ears. However, he had already known that this boy from Tang and Song Dynasty was a little weird, so he just jumped and told his wife and children that he wanted to go up and down the mountain. Well, at noon Stop working so hard, Tang and Song are treating you. Although today is New Year's Eve, every family has to worship their ancestors, but it doesn't matter if it's a little late or a little early. The most important thing is to prepare a table for the elders when they come back from dinner.
With Lao Shitou's temper, who dares to ask him what he is doing up the mountain now? On weekdays, he is like a local emperor at home, doing whatever he says. Anyone who dares to object will be slapped with a slap in the face, regardless of whether the person who objects is his. The son is still his wife.
So, what he said is what he said, and his wife and children watched him go up the mountain The wife sighed helplessly, hey, who would go to someone else's house for dinner on New Year's Eve? But, who can do anything to him with this stone?
However, as soon as the old stone left, the little stone became happy. Brother Tang Song is back. He has long lost interest in staying at home. Unfortunately, there is an old man like the King of Hell. How dare he hesitate? Now that I had such a good opportunity, I certainly couldn¡¯t miss it. I told my mother to go and see what delicious food the Tang and Song family were busy with, and then they disappeared from home
Well, I did n¡¯t cook at home at noon, so I went to the family of the Tang and Song dynasties. By the way, ask what can be helped As a result, the old stone daughter -in -law thought about it.
After catching up to where Tang Song was, Old Shitou saw the four or five snakes Tang Song was holding in his hands. He couldn't help but froze and said:
"Where did you find these in winter? And there are so many of them?"
Tang Song smiled slightly and said:
"The mountain man has his own clever plan. By the way, you told your sister-in-law and nephew that you would come to my house for dinner at noon, right?"
Old Shitou stared:
"You're still asking me? Don't you know with your ears?"
Tang Song smiled coquettishly, it was true, but he was used to hiding it casually in the past, so the polite words came out casually.
"Well, these five snakes are enough for a dozen people at noon, right? Of course, not only are they snakes, but there are also things to eat at home."
"That's almost enough. If you take them away, what will I eat next year?"
¡°Then go dig some winter bamboo shoots first?¡±
Putting the snake into the snake bag brought by Lao Shitou, the two of them walked towards the bamboo forest.
However, before reaching the bamboo forest, Tang Song found another harvest He paused, turned back to Old Shitou and smiled:
"I didn't expect that there are foxes here. Well, let's catch them first. I guess those women are reluctant to eat such smart and beautiful things."
Hearing the word fox, Old Shitou's eyes flashed with fire, and he said fiercely:
"I know that thing. There is no food in winter. It comes to the village to steal things. I must not let it go"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In the hearts of the women, she was suddenly a beautiful and beautiful creature, but in the eyes of the hunters and mountain people, she was just a thief. Moreover, the fox not only steals ordinary food, but also loves the chickens, ducks, geese, etc. raised by the villagers. Even the little piglets cannot escape from its clutches He smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I'm here, and there's nothing it can do to escape. However, I guess it won't be able to eat. It's okay to have another pet in the house Well, no matter what, let's catch it first. "
In the distance, Brother Fox, who had been alert after hearing human voices, was about to run away. Suddenly, there was a roar in his ears, his body swayed, and then he fell to the ground motionless.
Tang Song, who walked up to him, couldn't help but couldn't help but think for a moment when he saw the fox. Hey, it's an albino fox. This one, they probably would be even more reluctant to eat.
¡°White fox, it is a legendary spirit beast everywhere, even rarer than the giant panda. Who would be willing to eat something that is almost a national treasure?
When he first saw the white fox, Old Shitou was also startled:
"Good guy, I've never seen a white one But, Tang Song, your hunting skills are getting higher and higher, and it's more and more incredible. Without using a knife or a gun, or using any hands or feet, the prey will lie down automatically. And there are no injuries on the whole body. If nothing else, the fur alone can be sold for a good price."
Tang Song laughed:
"You must have made some progress after being out for a year, right?" In fact, when Tang and Song were at home, the most they could hunt for was more prey.?He didn't have anything to do with it. At that time, he didn't know how to use sonic attacks, so naturally he wouldn't be able to grab something with such ease, just like picking something out of a bag.
Picking up the fox, I came to the bamboo forest. There were old stones, so it was not necessary for Tang and Song Dynasties to do it themselves.
He had better find some good things, said something to Old Shitou, and then walked out of the bamboo forest.
When Lao Shitou dug up a dozen winter bamboo shoots, which were almost enough to eat, Tang Song also came back in time, carrying three or five things in his hands.
¡°Two mountain rabbits, two pheasants, and a badger
Old Shitou¡¯s eyes are rounded. How long will it take? And it's still winter, and more importantly, all the little things like this nearby have been searched out by the little guys in the village Hey, if he has such ability, what will the family have to worry about in the future? You can make a fortune just by hunting.
Seeing the look in Old Shitou's eyes, Tang Song raised the things in his hands, smiled and said:
"Is it almost done? Let's go back."
??Hunting, for today¡¯s Tang and Song dynasties, is just bullying of small animals. What he was doing wasn't called hunting, it was more like picking up things. Anyway, as long as he heard the noise, they couldn't run away. And with his ears, what movement could he not hear within a radius of more than two hundred square kilometers? Hey, if he really lets him hunt, I'm afraid it won't take long for the animals in this mountain forest to become extinct. Therefore, he still occasionally thought of going inside to pick up some food, so forget about hunting.
When she returned home, Ya Suqing had already returned from greeting the villagers and was folding paper money with the girls.
When they first saw what Old Shitou brought back from the Tang and Song dynasties, the girls were shocked.
Although hares and pheasants are very common, the girls have never seen badgers, not to mention, there is also a fox that is so beautiful that it makes people feel distressed
At the first moment, the fox was protected by Qu Feiyan. She was not allowed to eat this thing. She wanted to take it back and keep it. Hehe, if the school starts next year and the classmates see that she has such an almost unique pet, then How envious should you be?
In fact, foxes are not suitable for keeping as pets. They are too smart, hard to be loyal, and have sharp teeth. It is not suitable to tie them with a rope, because you don't know when the rope will be chewed, and then It ran away; put it in a cage, and ordinary cages are not enough for it, unless it is welded with steel to be strong, and even then, you have to be careful about the fox's mind - it can pretend to be sick, pretend to be dead, or pretend to be Poor thing, as long as you are not careful, once you get out of the cage, it will be its world. With the ability of the little girl, how can you catch the free fox?
However, since the little girl has such a request, Tang and Song will not have any objections, so let her keep her for now, go back and find a better cage, and then let Feiyan think carefully about the sound path. Apart from anything else, you still need to be able to knock down the fox. Otherwise, if you really want to run away, don't ask him for it. Hey, I believe that with such motivation, the little girl will definitely study hard and practice hard. Of course, it seems that she has never been lazy - Tang and Song asked Su Qing for love, and the little girl still got up early every day and exercised every day in Shanghai
While I was talking to the little girl about the precautions needed to raise a fox, a scream suddenly came from beside me:
"ah¡¡"
Tang Song was startled, his ears moved, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Outside the door, Zhongqing was opening the snake bag that Lao Shitou had just put down. When she saw so many cold, greasy and scary things inside, could she not scream?
In fact, 99.9% of women would have the same reaction as her when they first see this situation.
???????????? All the girls were also startled, and they quickly asked what was going on, what was going on
Zhong Qing patted her chest that was rising and falling violently, and said in a state of shock:
¡°You guys, you¡¯ll know when you come over and take a look¡±
Tang Song was speechless. This woman, I don¡¯t know whether it was intentional or unintentional. She was frightened, and she wanted to frighten others?
Just as Tang and Song Dynasty thought, Zhongqing's frightened appearance completely aroused the curiosity of all the girls. What on earth could scare her like that? So Jennifer, who was curious, was the first to run over, and then she let out a scream that seemed to be even higher
¡°Well, I heard that foreigners have stronger resistance, and many women are not afraid of mice, cockroaches, snakes and the like. Why is this one different? Hey, Zhongqing has made it clear that it is difficult to share it, and if you still want to be fooled, you really deserve it
Jennifer was not the only one who was willing to be fooled, Lin Yufei also screamed, and then fell in love with her. She's such a pest. If she had told her earlier that there was a snake inside, would she still have been fooled?
For a time, no one¡¯s home has been home for more than half a yearThe place was suddenly filled with laughter and laughter, and the popularity that had been quiet for more than half a year suddenly became richer. The atmosphere, of course, goes without saying. Looking at everything in front of him, Tang Song couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, thinking how happy his parents would be if they knew that he had found so many beautiful and capable wives for them
When Lin Yufei knew it was a snake, no one was fooled anymore. That kind of thing can give people goosebumps just thinking about it, let alone watching it. As for eating, don¡¯t even think about it
When Tang and Song Dynasties said that these snakes could make an absolutely excellent snake soup, except for a few people, almost everyone got goosebumps. This is a very few people, naturally they are the old Tang and Song dynasty Shi Shitou, Xiao Shitou and Shitou¡¯s wife
??????????????????????????? If you don¡¯t eat it now, you will know how it tastes when you try it later. It is absolutely delicious and a classic dish. I¡¯ll see if they can¡¯t bear it
With the help of Shitou¡¯s wife, and the presence of Lao Shitou, an expert in handling wild game, those pheasants, hares, badgers, and five fat snakes were all finished in a short while, ready to be cooked.
To be honest, it takes a lot of time to go from semi-finished products to finished products, and he also has to work on the ingredients he brought back. Tang and Song's family only has two pots. If he really has to be busy with so many dishes, it will take about two o'clock for lunch. Just have something to eat.
"But the mountain people have their own methods. As long as there are pots and stoves, isn't it difficult to do things like that?"
So, Old Shitou also moved the two pots at home, a few random rocks, and two stoves. In this way, the speed doubled.
With so many people busy, Tang Song himself became the hands-off shopkeeper. However, he still had a follower as the shopkeeper. Of course, this follower is not Qu Feiyan, but Xiao Shitou, who is only five or six years old. Hey, it's not enough for that girl Qu Feiyan to torment Bai Hu now. Besides, she's too embarrassed to argue with a little kid who's just a few years old, right?
Ever since he gave him the toy that belonged to Xiao Shitou, the little Douding followed Tang Song and couldn't bear to leave for a moment. Like Tang Song's tail, he chased him and asked when he could go up to the sky to play In the end, he wanted to If Lao Shitou had not just drank it, he would have probably annoyed the Tang and Song dynasties to death, or in other words, he would have annoyed this little guy to the point of having fun first
When it was almost twelve o'clock, whether it was paper money, other sacrifices, or those local specialties, they were almost ready.
Then, naturally, the memorial service begins. However, before that, Lao Shitou and his family must be sent back.
As mentioned before, on New Year¡¯s Eve, because of ancestor worship, no one goes to other people¡¯s homes to eat. Now, of course, I have to send them home to worship their ancestors. Anyway, there are a lot of dishes here, and there are a lot of each item. You can just move some back home. Even half of each item is enough for Lao Shitou and those ancestors. My mouth is full of oil after eating.
Old Shitou originally wanted to refuse, but since Tang and Song were so sincere and it saved the effort of going back and busy again, why not?
Move the square table to the main room, put the incense burner and candlesticks, and then put the dishes, rice, and wine glasses one by one After that, it¡¯s time to kowtow.
The first one in the Tang and Song dynasties, followed by Ya Suqing, Zhong Qing, Lin Yufei, Jennifer, the little girl Qu Feiyan and then, there was no one left. Biya was a little hesitant, but she also knew that she was just a student of the Tang and Song Dynasties, but she was not ready to kowtow to her grandparents. Besides, if she kowtowed now, her thoughts would be seen. broken. Well, the time has not come yet.
In fact, Ya Suqing and the others are still watching every movement of Biya. If they really dare to kowtow, then what else do they not understand? This is a family worshiping ancestors, and only family members have the right and obligation to kowtow. Now is not the ancient times. Neither students nor apprentices have this obligation, let alone this right
Fortunately, this girl doesn¡¯t seem to have gotten involved yet - seeing Biya¡¯s final choice, Yasu Qingzhong and the others couldn¡¯t help but heave a sigh of relief.
After that, it¡¯s time to burn paper. This is the right of the backbone of the family. Only men can light paper, and women cannot touch it. If there are no men in the future, women can make do with gloves and the like. This is also advancing with the times. In fact, In ancient times, women had no place in worshiping ancestors.
When all the two pieces of paper money are turned into ashes, the ancestor worship is over, and the food and wine on the table can be removed.
Put some of my parents¡¯ favorite dishes in front of the incense cabinet, along with rice and wine. The rest of the dishes need to be reheated before they can be eaten.
In fact, if it were in the past, these sacrifices and tributes would never be eaten. They were exclusive to the ancestors. Who dares to be disrespectful? It¡¯s just that it¡¯s different now. It¡¯s not as wasteful as those big families in the past. It¡¯s even moreWhat's more, this is just a little thought in the first place, and it is impossible for the ancestors to really eat it. Besides, all the dishes that have been busy all morning are on the table. If they can't eat them, what will they have for lunch?
However, even so, the Tang and Song Dynasties still left six dishes untouched. Those were brought to the grave in the afternoon. The other ones really didn¡¯t eat them and left them on the grave. In the end, I don¡¯t know which forest creatures were benefited from
When I am preparing to put some things back into the pot (actually, it is just to let the steam pass through, it is not really necessary to put it down in the pot and then cook and stir-fry. If it is really like that, many dishes will be inedible), Old Shitou and his family of three also came over. Not only did they put all the dishes they had brought back in the basket, but Old Shitou also carried a table, and even Little Shitou also carried two bamboo stools - hey, There are too many people here, how can we fit just one square table?
So, when they were busy in the kitchen, Tang and Song Lao Shitou still made a trip - there was still a shortage of benches.
At almost one o'clock, a group of people finally started eating. Lao Shitou, Tang Song and several of his women were sitting in the room, while Lao Shitou's wife, children, and Liu Wei sat in the yard. As for the ones who served the dishes, The matter was also left to the eight people outside.
Here, women and children rarely serve at the table. Eating in the main room has always been a man's business, so Lao Shitou's wife and children consciously sat outside. In fact, Tang Song, who had already gone out for a long walk, didn't care about this at all, but Lao Shitou insisted, so there was nothing he could do.
The wine is Wuliangye brought from Changsha in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Well, there is also red wine and juice. The dishes are all delicacies and game. The people are beautiful women and the best neighbors. This meal is quite satisfying. At least, the Tang and Song Dynasties' homes had never been lively here. Perhaps they wanted to expect such liveliness but conditions did not allow it.
" However, Tang Song didn't drink much, and he had to fly back in the afternoon. Although he thought nothing big would happen, with the girls around, he still couldn't take such a risk.
After three rounds of drinking, the mellowness of Wuliangye gave Old Shitou an extra layer of blush on his originally bronze face With a squeak, Old Shitou put down his wine glass, sighed in admiration and said:
"Tang Song, there are so many of you, don't you have a place to sleep at night? Haha, I still have a bed at my place, so we two brothers can have a good chat at night."
Tang Song picked up the red wine, touched it with the old stone, and said with a smile:
¡°Brother Shitou, you also said there was no place to sleep, so I went back in the afternoon.¡±
Old Shitou was startled:
"You only came back a few hours ago? Why did you go back so soon?"
"I can't help it. I just came back to bring them to meet their parents and pay homage. As for celebrating the New Year, it's impossible to stay here. This is not a question of whether there is a place to live, but that they are not suitable to celebrate the New Year here. They are also Everyone has their own things, and I don¡¯t care about myself. But Brother Shitou, you also know that tomorrow is the first day of the junior high school. I don¡¯t need to say more about the meaning of the first year of junior high school, right?" As he spoke, Tang Song looked at the girls. He spun around in a circle.
Old Shitou suddenly understood and said with a smile:
"I know, in the first year of junior high school, you have to meet my father-in-law. However, your kid is really awesome these past half a year Haha, if your parents see this scene today, I don't know how happy they should be. How about" Turning his eyes and seeing the blush on the faces of the girls, Lao Shitou changed the topic. He had just drunk a little wine, and it was not yet time to talk nonsense and unscrupulously.
Tang Song nodded and sighed involuntarily:
"Yeah, if they can really see them, they should be very happy, but it's a pity"
"Haha, let's not talk anymore. Today should be a happy day. I believe your parents should also be smiling under Jiuquan." Lao Shitou interrupted with a smile, but he didn't want to have a good day, but it made the atmosphere so bad. Embarrassed.
"Yes, today should be a happy day. Let's not mention those sad things." Tang Song took a deep breath and responded.
"By the way, when you come back, you're going to worship your ancestors, right?" - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
