The RMB is creativity.

With the arrival of tourists who were having the New Year’s Eve dinner, in order to meet the needs of tourists, the village’s fishing house tried every means to make delicious food and drinks. Some people also brewed rice wine, and then Ao Muyang drank fermented glutinous rice porridge in the morning.

Rice wine is not a Hongyang specialty, or their fishermen do not have the tradition of brewing rice wine, and they generally use sorghum wine and corn wine.

There are too few paddy fields that can grow rice. Fishermen plant some rice for food. Occasionally, they will save some rice cakes only after the Chinese New Year.

But this is nothing, tourists don’t know what traditions there are in the fishing villages? Anyway, they believe whatever the fishermen say, as long as they have their own characteristics.

That's why various fishing houses have made some special foods. It's not a big deal to make rice wine. Some people fried stinky tofu at home, and some people made pig-killing dishes...

In addition to the unique fishing houses to make various food, the village committee also organized activities. There is a ancestral hall next to the primary school on the hillside, which was opened again this year.

Most fishing villages in Hongyang have ancestral halls, but like the custom of rice cakes, as people's clan concepts weakened, ancestral halls have long been abandoned, and the genealogy has been subdivided, and who should give it to whom.

The change of this custom started in the special era of the 1960s and 1970s. People eagerly demanded to break the four olds. If the genealogy was not subdivided and handed over to the family to preserve, it would have been burned together.

The ancestral hall was also smashed. In fact, Longtou Village and some surrounding villages used to pay attention to the ancestral hall. Just like the most majestic and brilliant building in a place is the government building, the best building in the village is the ancestral hall.

Longtou Village Primary School was built with the ancestral hall as the main body, but after several generations of demolition and construction, there are no traces of the ancestral hall now.

Many tourists from the city are not sure about it. They think that there should be a ancestral hall in the fishing village. During the Chinese New Year, the villagers will gather together to worship their ancestors. So Ao Muyang followed the tourists' thoughts and re-opened the ancestral hall.

Fortunately, the primary school occupied the main body of the ancestral hall, and there was a side hall preserved.

Compared to decades ago, the side hall was not very good at this time, with wind and sun, cats and dogs peeing. The reason why primary school has never used this house is because it is too bad.

When the dock was repaired, Ao Muyang asked Liu Sanyang to arrange someone to clean up again, and just repair it simply. Then he asked someone to clean it up. This is the ancestral hall.

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the fisherman also has a New Year's greeting ceremony, which is also a ceremony for ancestor worship.

This is one of the most solemn celebrations among fishermen. There is also a celebration of opening the sea after the New Year. Xie Nian is the fishermen who thank the gods of heaven and earth, and the dragon king and the sea god for blessing the harvest over the past year. The celebration of opening the sea is to pray for good weather and rain in the future.

With the decline of the ancestral hall culture, the New Year ceremony was gone because the whole village had to organize it. The reason why the opening ceremony of the sea can be maintained is that after the New Year, the fishermen can get together to set off firecrackers and hold a ceremony, which is a joint activity.

Ao Muyang organized this celebration this year, but there was no need for the whole village to line up according to seniority like before. He just packed up the ancestral hall again and placed the tributes on it.

On the morning of the 27th, he and Ao Daguo, Ao Zhiming, Ao Zhisheng, Ao Zhiyi and others gathered in the side hall of the ancestral hall to direct the women and men in the village to place tributes.

Ao Zhiyi muttered beside him with a cigarette in his mouth: "I would like to thank God and respect my ancestors in the side hall? Why not do it? Isn't this an insult to the ancestors?"

Ao Muyang said: "Second Grandpa, do you think this is still like a side palace?"

After all, the house has been abandoned for a long time, so it is not the case. The roof can be repaired with red tiles and blue tiles, but the crumbling walls cannot be repaired.

Ao Muyang thought of a way. He ignored the outside, but just pasted paper paintings on the walls. The paintings were full of gods, ghosts, spirit beasts, fairies, and birds. After pasting the walls, it also had a bit of a mysterious and mysterious smell.

Ao Zhiyi glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly: "This is a mess, how can he look like a side palace?"

Ao Muyang spread his hands and said, "Isn't that enough? This is not a side hall, this is a ancestral hall, so we offer sacrifices to God here, so there is no problem thanking our ancestors."

"Nonsense." Ao Zhi's loyal beard shivered.

But no one cares about him, and only Ao Muyang takes him seriously. Others have long stopped taking this former village chief and village party secretary seriously.

Ao Zhisheng looked at the house and said, "Village Chief, this has become a dangerous house. Is it okay to hold a celebration here?"

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "What celebration is going on? This year is just a show. I will strip this house next year and build a ancestral hall seriously. At that time, Teacher Ao, you can collect the genealogy that has been dispersed in the village and make a compilation. Let's have a celebration for the New Year next year, and just create some atmosphere this year."

To put it bluntly, this is for sending tourists, and it is for taking photos and posting them to Moments.

Although the villagers will not be organized to celebrate this year, the things that should be offered must not be missing.

The door opened early in the morning to welcome the gods, and then a statue of a Bodhisattva was hung in the room. There were two Eight Immortals tables underneath, and there were candle holders on both sides. The candles on the candle holders were one meter long and the thickness of children's arms was so exciting!

Next to the Bodhisattva statue is a birthday star. I was going to hang the entire family tree, but now there is no such thing, so I asked the birthday star to represent my ancestors. This is also a common thing.

There are more things offered on the table, and Ao Muyang and his friends are directing tributes here.

He ordered the tribute in advance. When the placement began, Ao Daguo asked, "Hey, where is the pig's head? Why is the pig's head gone?"

"Mom, don't let any child give it to you." Ao Zhiyi smiled beside him.

Hearing the shouts, someone hurried over: "I asked me to take the pig head home yesterday. I've dealt with it here."

Ao Mukang and Ao Xiaojun walked quickly with a big pig's head.

Seeing this, Ao Zhiyi laughed and said, "Xiaokang, did your son deal with this pig's head with his mouth?"

Ao Xiaojun rolled his eyes and said, "Wisdom!"

When Ao Zhiyi heard this, he became angry. He pointed at the boy and said, "Why are you so rude? What did you say just now?"

Ao Xiaojun said: "I mean wise, which means being smart and wise."

Ao Zhiyi instinctively felt something was wrong, but he also heard that Ao Xiaojun was indeed talking about the word wisdom, and he knew that this was a word to praise people.

But he just felt something was wrong!

No one cared about him. Ao Mukang lifted the red bag and revealed a big pig's head inside. The pig's head's mouth was raised, looking like a smile, not as cold as ordinary pig's head, but with joy.
