Chapter 50: Details
Zhang Wuwei's observation is super sharp.
The detail he noticed, Niu Jianqiang almost couldn't answer.
The people of Jincun have been placing tea bowls at the door for generations, and it is so old that it has become a daily habit, and almost no one in the younger generation of future generations has thought about anything wrong with it.
Zhao Baoxuan thought that this was the custom of Jincun, and thought of the customs of some ethnic minorities she had seen, and she asked: "This is a habit inherited from the nomads, right?"
Niu Jianqiang blinked his eyes and didn't understand: "Huh?"
Zhao Baoxuan said: "The pot next to the tea bowl is filled with a bar?"
Niu Jianqiang praised repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, some are wine, some are water, hehe!"
Zhang Wuwei was interrupted by the two of them, so he didn't ask, and looked more carefully at the architectural structure of the old house in Jincun.
The houses are mostly made of wood, with a few brick walls, and magically, there is no trace of electrification in modern civilization, no wires and no water pipes.
He was also puzzled by the fact that there was no one walking around in the old house, but there was no dust or cobwebs in the building, as if the villagers had just left their homes and all gone out.
It feels a little weird and a little mysterious.
You know, in some ancient castles abroad, there are often people cleaning them, but they don't seem to be popular.
Unpopular buildings deteriorate very quickly and do not last long, especially the wooden doors and windows, which quickly decay or are eaten by insects and ants.
Zhao Baoxuan saw the small pavilion and the wooden statue in the pavilion, and ran over curiously: "Captain Niu, what is the origin of this statue?"
It doesn't look like an offering to a god, nor does it look like a work of art, but according to her perception, this must be a monumental figure in the history of Jincun.
She wanted to ask if the prototype of this statue was the ancestor of Jincun?
Niu Jianqiang was a little nervous, for fear that Zhao Baoxuan's actions would disrespectfully collide with the god Meng Po that they had worshiped for generations, so he hurriedly caught up and explained: "This is the land Niangniang enshrined in our village, and the statue is offered in the ancestral hall and the offerings are placed. There are craftsmen in the village, and each heir has to carve a statue of the god of the land Niangniang before leaving the teacher, and the master nods, and the patriarch nods before he can officially announce the teacher and enter the family tree of the craftsman. After a while, you can also see a lot of various land girls in front of you. ”
Zhao Baoxuan was very interested: "Ah! Or is it a different shape?"
Oh my God, if you don't take pictures, if you know that she will bring a sketchbook, and take the opportunity to go to the toilet to secretly draw a few strokes!
Niu Jianqiang just invited Zhang Wuwei and Zhao Baoxuan to visit Jincun according to Mu Sanye's explanation, but he didn't expect that he almost couldn't answer the questions raised by these two people, and he had to show his stuffing several times: "Well, yes, the craftsmen in our village just eat by their craft, and there are still people who have worked in the imperial city before." ”
Niu Jianqiang was a little nervous, for fear that Zhao Baoxuan's actions would disrespectfully collide with the god Meng Po that they had worshiped for generations, so he hurriedly caught up and explained: "This is the land Niangniang enshrined in our village, and the statue is offered in the ancestral hall and the offerings are placed.
