I heard Jiang Hongxing say: "Back when Shu Yi's father was an educated youth, because of her mother's relationship, he offended the green skins in the town, and the two of them escaped from Rongshan Town. It was my father who saw that they looked like Zhou Zheng.

The bad guy must have been in trouble for a while, so he took him on the ferry and brought him here."

"We have four surnames here: Jiang, Zhao, Yang, and He. The four surnames intermarry with each other, neither marrying outside nor marrying outside. Every family can be considered a relative." After saying this, he pointed to the big house next to him.

: "This Wufu Manor belonged to the Zhao family at that time and was also moved from Chengdu."

"Across a river, most outsiders can't get in, but we are not afraid if they come. Even if Shu Yi's parents are protected, they still have the same surname later. This can only be said to be God's will, right?

"

"Well, it's true." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be surprised by the wonder of fate. Now it seems that Zhongba Island is actually the place of love for Jiang Shuyi's parents.

"What happened next?" Although it was an old story, Jiang Shuyi was still worried when she heard it.

"Later, your parents stayed at my house. After half a month, the storm passed. My dad and I sent them to the Zhuyang River downstream, where we took a boat to Jiachuan."

"Going to bring in the reinforcements." Zhou Zhi was delighted: "Later, the educated youths from Shu and Sichuan joined forces to cause a riot in Rongshan Town, causing the young men to flee and hide. This alerted the government to launch an investigation, and finally uncovered a gang of gangsters."

"Uncle Jiang and Aunt Du finally achieved the right results, got married, and felt comfortable."

This last sentence was meant for my friends. After saying this, Jiang Shuyi kicked his heel lightly.

The friends were all really shocked.

Yan Xiao felt that she had run away from home because she couldn't be in the same class with He Shiqing, which was already an extremely heroic thing. But when she heard about the great things Jiang Shuyi's father had done for her mother, she felt like that

It's like looking up at a high mountain.

When it comes to this matter, everything is easy to say, but Zhou Zhi did not make it difficult for Jiang Hongxing. He took out his Writers Association membership card and a letter of introduction from the Jiachuan Federation of Literary and Art Circles, saying that this was a collection activity, and he hoped that the place would be

Cooperate.

With this letter of introduction, you can live in a guest house and be received by the place, which is a legitimate name. Nowadays, many relatively closed places still need this. Otherwise, even if you have money, you may not be able to find accommodation.

The large courtyard has been requisitioned as a grain station, sugar warehouse, agricultural machinery station, fertilizer warehouse... Anyway, whenever you need room or space, you can find it in this compound.

The same is true for the guest house. The ten rooms in the most intact inner courtyard of Wufu Manor are used as the guest house.

Zhou Zhi looked at the carved brackets under the green tiles, the painted beams depicting opera stories, the green square brick house walls, the carved window lattice, and the square tile floor in the room with glutinous rice paste and mud seams.

Old pattern.

There are standard rooms here. Every year during the sugar cane harvest season, buyers will come to the island to purchase. There are also many units such as grain collection, surveying, and hydrology who need to receive guests when they come. This guest house is used for this purpose.

It's a slack time for farming, and no one is coming, so the entire guest house is empty, and a small courtyard has been occupied by Zhou Zhi and his party.

This is the first time that the friends have stayed in a room with such a high standard. There are public toilets, boiler hot water rooms, thermos bottles, and even slippers, footbaths and other "supporting facilities". They already feel very "high-end"

.

Only Yang He was laughing secretly in his heart. He was the one who followed Zhou Zhi to the guest house of the provincial TV station. Compared with there, this guest house was completely shabby.

Of course, this is just Yang He's feeling. Zhou Zhi always feels guilty about living here in a cultural relic.

After everyone selected their rooms and came out, Jiang Hongxing asked his wife to light up the boiler and took the friends to visit Wufu Manor.

"The Zhao family is a family of officials who moved from Chengdu more than 140 years ago." Jiang Hongxing introduced as he walked: "They moved to this island in the tenth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. After that, they built a house that can accommodate dozens of households.

A courtyard where people live.”

"Everyone, look at the stone lintel under the eaves at the entrance of the manor. The five characters "Fu" on it. The old people have a legend that these characters were filled with pure gold and flattened. Why are they used? To prepare for famine! Famine.

Buy food when the time comes!”

Zhou Zhi doesn’t quite believe this statement. Chinese people are very particular about not revealing their wealth. Yang and his father both knew how to hide gold bars in jars.

However, this stone-carved gatehouse is enough to illustrate the glory of Wufu Manor on Zhongba Island.

It also proved another thing, Zhou Zhi's feeling was right, they were going to live in a cultural relic tonight.

However, it is impossible to talk to Lao Jiang about cultural relic protection. Even Wangcong Temple is so important and has just started to receive the treatment it deserves. Zhou Zhi is not the kind of person who is extremely rigid.

The whole compound is actually very interesting. Because it is a rural area, no one is interested in a courtyard like this. Jiang Hongxing explained it clearly in one sentence - it is inconvenient to pick up a manure bucket out of the corridor in the morning. There are too many houses to live in.

When there are fewer people, it is easier to attract thieves, so there is no way to have a happy couple.

Then Zhou Zhi understood that real estate was not strictly needed on this island, so the courtyard houses were protected instead.

It’s not called protection. It should be said that most of it has been preserved in its original state without excessive damage.

Many courtyards and rooms were locked, but the tour was completed quickly. Everyone returned to the outside of the courtyard and sat under the big longan tree to drink tea.

Jiang Hongxing's guests are also served refreshments, which are a few of the specialties here - dried longan, rice cake candy, sesame sticks, and fried sheep tail.

Sesame sticks are made of sesame candy the thickness of a little finger, wrapped in white sesame seeds.

It is worth mentioning the fried sheep tail, which is a very traditional snack in southern Sichuan. It is made of fat meat or lard slivers, wrapped in noodles and deep-fried twice until crispy, and then stir-fried with white sugar in water to make a sugar liquid.

Then pour the fried dough into the pot and stir-fry until evenly coated. Remove the pot from the heat and stir-fry until the sugar liquid cools down and a layer of frosting forms on the dough.

Seeing Aunt Jiang serve Xiaguantuo tea with fried lamb tails, Zhou Zhi knew that dinner was definitely a must.

Fried lamb tail is delicious, but you will get sick of it without even realizing it. It is just right if paired with Tuocha tea to relieve your boredom.

Then he thought of the skewers on Jiangzhou's tail: "Uncle, who set those skewers at the pier? Why don't you go ask and see if you can add a dish later?"

Zhou Zhi had just asked Jiang Hongxing about the cost. Generally, the reception fee in a guest house is five yuan a day, including food and accommodation. Zhou Zhi and the others will play at noon tomorrow, which is exactly one day.

The price is really ridiculously cheap. Zhou Zhi is a little worried about the quality of the food, but he can't say it directly. Plus, he has to save a lot of money in his budget, so he might as well find the dishes himself!
