Chapter 443: The First Fire

Someone in the square was shouting Zhang Fan, a group of people gathered around the fire pit, someone holding a wooden stick in his hand, and kept shouting Mr. Zhang.

It turned out that the bonfire at night was to be lit by Zhang Fan.

This bonfire has always been lit by the most respected people in the village, and in the past, it was the old patriarch who came to light the torch, but this time everyone agreed to ask Zhang Fan to light the torch.

I saw the old patriarch come over respectfully and shouted loudly.

"Mr. Zhang, please come and light the first fire of our Hundred Family Banquet!"

As soon as the old patriarch shouted like this, someone handed Zhang Fan a wooden stick, and in front of the wooden stick was wrapped in cotton, and there should be something like resin or gasoline in it.

Someone next to him handed a match.

Seeing the small box of matches, Zhang Fan sighed a little, since there was a lighter, this small match seemed to have disappeared completely, Zhang Fan hadn't seen it for many years, but he didn't expect to see it here.

He held a match and a stick in his hand, and with the other he cut the matchstick, and then a faint light of fire came to the stick at once, and the stick was already grease, and even the slightest flash of fire would burn brightly.

As soon as the torch in Zhang Fan's hand was lit, he heard countless people start cheering, woo woo woo!

The voice was surprisingly consistent, which startled Xu Zijun, who was originally studying the food on the table, and saw that in the midst of all the attention, Zhang Fan walked to the side of the fire pit with a torch in his hand, and then looked back at the villagers gathered behind him.

At this time, the villagers were extremely excited, and they couldn't stop whining, and some even put their hands to their mouths, and then shouted loudly and excitedly.

Those who blushed because of excitement stared at the torches in Zhang Fan's hands at this time, and kept waving their arms, and they all deliberately changed into the best costumes of the festival, and the atmosphere of the audience was very high at this time.

Zhang Fan sent the torch in his hand into the fire pit, and then with a move of his mind, he controlled the fire control technique, so that the flames in the fire pit rushed up a few meters high at once, and the flames that rushed to the sky made the people who were originally cheering stunned all of a sudden!

The old patriarch looked at the flames in surprise, and suddenly knelt down, worshipping at the flames, and the rest of the people did the same, quickly knelt on the ground, and kept worshipping Zhang Fan and the fire!

Others couldn't stop cheering.

"Fire God, it's the God of Fire, our village hasn't had such a fire for many years......"

"Vulcan, it's Vulcan here!"

It turns out that the torch of the hundred family banquet is also particular, after the torch is thrown into the fire, the higher the flame, it means that the wind and rain in the village in the coming year will be smooth, and everything will be smooth.

According to the flame in memory, it is generally half a meter high, which is already due to the addition of a lot of gasoline, but it is the first time that a flame like Zhang Fan rushed up several meters high at once.

All those villagers would not stop chanting for the god of fire.

For them, having the God of Fire come to participate in their hundred family banquets was their supreme honor, and it was something they didn't dare to hope for in their lives, and almost everyone in the audience knelt down, leaving only Zhang Fan and Hua Yueying.

Standing in the midst of a group of people who are pressed by the black, it looks like it stands out from the crowd.

Zhang Fan looked at the flame, since everyone likes it so much, let's make the fire burn more vigorously, this is too simple for him.

Therefore, the flames became more and more vigorous, and even jumped more than ten meters high, which made the people present keep kowtowing to the flames and cheering, with an extremely pious appearance, so that Hua Yueying, who was standing there, couldn't help but smile at Zhang Fanwan.

Because only she knows what kind of fire god is there, this is obviously the master has played a little fire control technique, this kind of fire control technique is as simple as eating and drinking water for the master.

But for these villagers, it seemed to be a great event, because everyone knelt on the ground and worshiped reverently.

After a long time, under the leadership of the old patriarch, those people respectfully walked in front of Zhang Fan and saluted him.

"Most honorable guest, our god of fire has recognized you and treated you as our own, and I invite you to take a seat and accept our gifts and hearts!"

Compared with the previous respect, the old patriarch and those villagers at this time were more respectful, and seemed to really come to the world as a god of fire.

Zhang Fan's position was arranged in the best place in the square, even the old patriarch sat under him, and Xiaoshan and Xiao Wu were all arranged in Zhang Fan's body, and there were more than a dozen people who were responsible for serving Zhang Fan.

Some poured him wine, some served him food, and some waited for him to wipe his hands.

At this time, Xu Zijun, who was sitting in Zhang Fan's hand, was looking at those dishes, there were hundreds of dishes, all of which were brought to Zhang Fan, even if Xu Zijun was well-informed, he was taken aback.

Because there are so many types of dishes.

There are many that even Xu Zijun can't recognize, except for some chickens, ducks, goats and wild bacon, and many that he can't recognize, especially some fungi and the like, and some wild vegetables, there are too many types.

He couldn't help but marvel, the products here are really rich, any of these mushrooms, if they appear fresh in the market, they are the most high-end ingredients, and the taste will definitely be very good.

These villagers have really put a lot of effort into preparing this hundred family banquet, just looking at the varieties and ingredients of this dish, Xu Zijun doesn't know, and he can't even learn it from books.

This still really made Xu Zijun feel very curious.

So after Zhang Fan had time to sit down, someone poured him wine on the one hand, and Xu Zijun served him dishes on the other, and he just had to let Wang Ju and Xiao Wu explain the ingredients of those dishes on the side many times.

Because Xu Zijun doesn't know him either!

"This dish is a mushroom that grows in the mountains and can be used for stir-fry and stew, and this porcini mushroom, which is as delicious as eating beef liver, these mushrooms are the freshest, and they taste much better than those sun-dried mushrooms......"

Wang Ju explained the ingredients of these dishes to Zhang Fan very carefully.

Among them, the fungi here occupy a large part, and on the side of Xiaoshan's hometown, there are not many others, but there are a lot of fungi.

The villagers here are the main source of income for picking up mushrooms and drying them and selling them, and in the average family, there are a few people who are more diligent, and the family spends their leisure time picking up all kinds of mushrooms.

A family can also exchange seven or eight thousand yuan or tens of thousands of yuan.

But if the number of people in the family is smaller, it will cost thousands of dollars a year to pick up mushrooms.

Of course, these are pure natural wild mushrooms, and the taste is very good, but after drying, the taste is much worse, and it is not as good as this fresh mushroom.

After Zhang Fan tasted the porcini mushrooms, he felt that the fresh porcini mushrooms tasted amazing!

An idea popped into his head!
