Chapter 229
Hometown accent
Hongtang Village.
Firecrackers are ringing, and gongs and drums are ringing.
It was almost dusk, but every household placed wine on the street, putting a lot of milk drinks and ready-to-eat bread and pastries, and then a bowl of rice, with three pillars of sandalwood inserted into the rice, and the incense was lit.
In the mist, accompanied by the sound of the suona, the eight young men in the head were wearing long robes, brown bird feathers, square steps, and chanted sacrifices. They scattered sand along the way, and swam across the market.
Behind them, the two of them carried sedan chairs in front and behind. Among the quaint sedan chairs, Cai An Jinshi (a figure about 1,700 years ago, was deified and enjoyed the incense of the four seasons because of his contribution to governing Yuzhou.
), with a red face and majestic appearance, wearing colorful armor, holding a ruler in his hand, he is a person with both civil and military affairs.
As the priest shaking left and right, he opened the pass.
Behind, in a huge sedan chair carried by four people, there is the Kaiping Heavenly King in the mythology of Yuzhou - Chi Shangao (a figure three thousand years ago, and it is said that he built the first Yuzhou City.
Therefore, he was later revered as King Kaiping.
)
There are two civil and military priests on both sides, and the priests who are adjudicated are even more holding muskets in their hands, with a solemn face and exquisitely carved golden body - King Ye Shisan of Xu Wuning.
(There were muskets in the Great Yan Dynasty a thousand years ago, but they were very simple.
However, it can be seen from this that Ye Xun's ancestors' status is actually not as good as Cai An in front of him.
)
Ye Xun and his friends just arrived at the entrance of the village and saw the annual gift of wine selling in Hongtang Village.
“It seems we came in time.”
After Ye Xun watched the priest pass through, the married young and middle-aged man inserted the wind gun into the soil, poured the gunpowder into the muzzle, inserted the lead wire, and then used the incense in his hand to ignite the lead wire.
The next second, thousands of cannons fired together, with a huge momentum.
Many members of the Counter-Speech Division were a little surprised: "Are all the sacrificial sacrifices here so large?"
“I’ve been much weaker in the past few years.
When I was young, I was even older.”
As he said that, Ye Xun brought memories to his face and said, "Did you see the group of children behind you?"
Before our Tojo Mountain was in decline, I followed them like this, lit firecrackers behind them, and walked with the adults."
This was heard by an old man on one side.
He looked up and down at Ye Xun, and looked at him dressed in a very sexy manner and asked, "Young man, are you a member of the Hayashi Tojoyama?"
Ye Xun glanced at the old man, just an ordinary old man, wearing a robe made of indigo blue cloth that was washed a little white: "Yes! But they all came out later."
"I see."
The old man said as if he was sorry, "If you move later and build a villa in Tojoyama, you will definitely have to pay for the demolition money."
"Yeah! There must be some time in your destiny, and don't force it tomorrow.
I went to college a few years ago, but my household registration was moved away.
My old man also went there early. Without my last family, Tojoyama Village will definitely have to reduce its administrative divisions.
Otherwise, I can’t wait for me to have a dozen babies and build Tojoyama Village again, right?”
Ye Xun looked at the festival and even joked with the old man.
The old man laughed and thought Ye Xun, the young man, was interesting, and said with a smile: "It really is.
Like the Xiashankou Village, Yao Jidong was the only one who fled to famine in his early years. He could not have been able to live a life of 50 years.
There are now three generations of people, and there are hundreds of households."
"Tsk! In just five years, there are hundreds of households in Xiashankou Village?
When I went to study, weren’t I only had forty households?
Why, Yao Tianen and his family have all started a family?"
When the old man heard Ye Xun's words, he knew that Ye Xun had been away from home for quite a long time.
But the fellow villager is a fellow villager after all. He smiled like a master of everything and said, "Yao Tianen started a family and started a business three years ago, and his son can make a fuss.
It seems that you have missed a lot of things this time!"
"yes.
I haven't come back for five years, things have changed!"
Ye Xun sighed endlessly, feeling like "I left home and returned home when I was young, but my hometown accent did not change and my hair was weak."
The old man patted Ye Xun on the shoulder and smiled and said, "It's okay."
Just come back and see it often.
But have you ever been to your ancestral tomb to worship your ancestors?"
"Go to the winter solstice."
Ye Xun scratched his head and smiled, "I made some money outside and repaired it in the mountains.
The lintel of the ancestral grave is more grand.”
"Have the heart."
The old man praised, and then saw three beautiful girls behind Ye Xun chattering, and a bunch of rough men who were lying on their heads, "Are you here to buy wine too?"
“No.
The red wine in Hongtang, the taste of hometown.
I plan to stock up now and go back to Yizhou to give gifts or something."
Ye Xun replied with a smile.
"Looking at your truck, you probably want a lot.
If you want to make your own homemade wine, you may have to go door to door to ask if there is any leftover.
Otherwise, if you are late, you will be booked all of them."
The old man introduced Ye Xun the situation in Hongtang Village recently.
Obviously, he is extremely authentic to his fellow villagers.
Generally speaking, the amount of wine in Hongtang Village is usually reserved in advance to the village chief’s house, and then every household will receive the portion and brew it by themselves.
And brewing wine, you will naturally make a few more portions.
One serving is self-drinking, one serving is exported, and one serving is kept for spare.
Most people in the village don’t brew too much. After all, the market conditions of each year are different, so the wine they brew is different.
After the banquet tonight is over, the village chief will first evaluate the exported wine and then divide the wine according to the order.
If not enough, the wine will be reviewed.
If enough, spare wine will usually be bought by scattered merchants or relatives and friends who are wandering in other provinces.
So, Ye Xun and the others wanted a lot of wine, either waiting for next year or preparing to buy spare wine.
"Have the rules been set in this over the past few years?"
Ye Xun was extremely confused.
When he left, the villagers usually made wine based on their family’s economic situation, and then shared it with the merchants when the banquet was held.
In most cases, everyone has a way to make money when rain or dew is mixed.
Now it has become a way to find a distributor in advance and start a fixed-point monopoly.
"That's right! Just four years ago, Erludan from the village chief's family married a beautiful wife. She was not very good at cooking, but she could run and do business! The wine in our village was so popular that she could do it.
Moreover, he is also the adopted daughter of the chairman of the Su Group, and he has a noble status!”
"Sutai's daughter?"
Ye Xun asked in confusion.
"Yes, it's the daughter of Chairman Su Taisu.
But that Su Tai is not a thing. He taught a waste son that actually made money by selling ecstasy grass, which was simply unreasonable."
After the old man scolded Su Zhenghao for several times, he felt a little calmer, and then he talked to Ye Xun until it was getting late.
Seeing the last team of people escorting a cannon away, the old man said, "Okay, young man."
The festival is over, you can quickly ask for a backup wine.
First come first served, remember!”
"Okay! Thank you!"
