Chapter Seventy-Two: February 2, the Dragon Rises Its Head
How to describe the spring in Yanbei, often like a naughty child, people can not grasp his temperament, moody, the morning is still sunny and warm and warm, but in the afternoon it becomes a cold wind, the spring cold is steep, people are caught off guard.
How to describe the spring in Yanbei, and often like a manic old man, inexplicably tantrums, the sand and dust flying, blowing so that people can't open their eyes, blowing so that the small trees can't stand up to the waist, the sky is dark, which makes people feel disgusted.
How to describe the spring in Yanbei, and often like a girl who has just opened her love, she does not decorate herself with powder, simple and generous, on the land where the winter snow has not disappeared, she struggles out of a few tender yellow grasses, and the snow presses the peach blossoms, which seems to be cold and delicate and pitiful.
In short, the spring of Yanbei will come very late, and after May of the solar calendar, it can be truly sunny and spring back to the earth. Therefore, the Spring Festival in Yanbei will also live for a long time, and the real New Year will continue until February 2, and the day when the dragon raises its head will be over.
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, the adults and children in Yanbei had to shave the dragon's head, and the villagers began to get busy and manage the situation of the year, so this day is also called "Nongtou Festival". Major coal mines and enterprises have also put away the mood of "laziness" for more than 20 days and began to prepare for the production tasks of the whole year. There are more people going out, and there are more cars on the national highway in front of Jiang Er's store, and it is a busy scene.
Jiang Er, who had eaten dragon beard noodles in the morning, went out on the street, looking at the sun, the clouds in the northwest, although it was a trace of it, but it was continuously pulled into a large piece, Jiang Er pinched his fingers, thinking about the days when the beam of a new house of the owner was after fifteen, of course, this owner and the reckless man are not the same person, seeing that they are going to get busy, the owner is going to work, urging the construction to start as soon as possible.
The wind in February and August was very chaotic, slow and urgent, Jiang Er was not sure whether this cloud would condense into a cloud, and was blown by the northwest wind, and returned to the store with a sad brow.
Bai Ying took Erlin early in the morning, and went back to Beizhuang Guan on Beizhuangzi Street to "sit on incense and file a case" (the name of the big fairy master's stall), and do the big fairy master, every year on the eighth day of the first month, the second day of February, and the eighth day of April are important days, there are many people who burn incense, and there are many people who pray for incense. At this time, you can sit on the incense and file a case, first, you can play your own signboard, and secondly, you can cross the road with the surrounding immortals, and get acquainted with each other for the convenience of going out in the future.
Da Lin stabbed the fire and was about to boil water, when he saw Jiang Er coming in and asked, "Ergang, what's the matter?
Jiang Er waved his hand and said, "There are many good days, but I can't make a decision right now, so I can't rush this matter." ”
Da Lin answered, knowing that Ergang had a thorough plan, he stabilized the kettle on the stove, leaned on the edge of the kang and thought for a while, and then asked Jiang Er: "Ergang, do you say this dead man is scary?"
Jiang Er went to the kang to flip through the book, listened to Dalin's suddenly inexplicable words, and asked, "What's the matter, why do you remember this stubble?"
Dalin scratched his head and said: "Ergang, don't laugh at it, we've been open for so long, and we haven't caught up with a white business, you talked about the new clothes you used to put on the dead yesterday, and you didn't sleep well all night, and your heart was very responsive!"
Jiang Er laughed when he heard it, remembering that Bai Ying was bored yesterday, talking about ghosts and ghosts by herself, and she had no goods in her stomach, so she did white things with Jiang Banxian and changed the longevity clothes for the people who left, and picked out the things that she was afraid of, but she didn't expect that Dalin, who was bold on weekdays, actually fell into the shadow.
Jiang Er smiled, knowing in his heart that since Dalin followed him to make a living in the second house, sooner or later he would have to go through such a thing, only by experiencing it himself, could he throw away the shadow in his heart, otherwise it would be difficult to make a living in the future, so he said to Dalin: "Brother, this dead man is a dead object, in fact, it is the same as those cats and dogs. ”
Dalin still shook his head, like a rattle: "How can you be the same? That's a dead man, Ne is so big, I haven't seen a dead man, once a drunk man fell under the bridge in the mine and died, Erlin picked a piece of cardboard (cardboard) and put it on, and when he came back to Ne Xue, he didn't dare to touch Erlin's hand for several days." Alas, the diaphragm should be afraid of people. ”
Jiang Er shook his head helplessly, indeed, the fear in his heart is his biggest enemy, just like his timidity and fear, although he is calm on the surface and understands in his heart, he is still afraid of himself, he is not as frank as Dalin, he is afraid, he is not hypocritical, he is not hidden. It's just that I didn't expect Erlin to be quite bold, but I don't know if it's because of Erlin's innocence and ignorance.
Jiang Er remembered that Bai Ying went out, settled himself and Dalin to take care of his head, on the second day of February, the dragon raised his head and asked for a lottery, as for Erlin, Bai Ying would take Erlin to take Erlin to take his head after sitting on the incense. I didn't move my hair for a whole month, and it grew really fast, so I discussed it with Dalin, and the two of them took turns to go out to get a haircut, Dalin nodded, and asked Jiang Er to go first, anyway, it's just two people, whoever goes first is the same, so Jiang Er got off the kang again and went out to find a barbershop.
There are two barber shops in Sandaopo, these two Jiang Er have been here, Dalin Erlin and himself are used to the small flat head, basically have to be cut once a month, compared to Jiang Er, I still prefer to go to Sister Liu on the street in Sandaopo Village, as for what Sister Liu's name is Jiang Er, it is not convenient to inquire, the reason why I like to go to Sister Liu's shop is because Sister Liu does not hate Erlin, every time I lead Erlin to get a haircut, this eldest sister will always be like coaxing a child, talking to Erlin, Erlin is also honest.
Jiang Er saw a lot of people in the barber shop outside the door, most of them were children, Jiang Er stomped on the snow on his feet at the door, pushed open the door and went in, Sister Liu was about to shave an elderly uncle, the razor was grinding back and forth on the frosted cowhide, making the razor sharper, looking up and seeing Jiang Er coming in, he hurriedly greeted: "Ah, Master Jiang is here? ”
Jiang Er was already accustomed to it, and seeing that there were still five or six adults and children lining up, he sat down on the stool at the door, and said, "February 2, there must be a lot of people, and the store is not busy, not in a hurry." ”
While starting to shave the old man, Sister Liu said to Jiang Er: "Master Jiang, you happened to be here, and I am still ready to ask you about things when I am free, by the way, do you know the drum maker team?"
In fact, when he first came to Yunshan, Jiang Er was worried about the drum maker team, Yunshan couldn't find a drum master class that specialized in red and white things, and later contacted Yangyuan's senior brother Zhang Yunqi, who said that he could recommend a few, and he could call and arrange for matchmaking when needed. Jiang Er replied: "I know you, but there is no Yunshan realm, and all I know is the drum master class in Yanzhou, how can I have a career to do?
Sister Liu listened and responded: "Yes, nephew, I am going to open a restaurant on Xinhua Street, this is not to know that Master Jiang looks at the good days, if you don't come today, I have to find you to choose a good day tomorrow, by the way, I will ask if there is a good drum master class, it will be prosperous, we can't invite a big drama, and it is not bad to invite a drum master class." ”
Jiang Er nodded and said: "Okay, when Sister Liu is not busy, go to Ne, Ne will go through it well, and the words of the drum maker class will be said after meeting your nephew, this word is easy to deviate, it is better to talk in person." ”
Sister Liu said: "It's not a shame, ask first, if you have a drum maker class, then you will call your nephew to come, and the province will run the wrong way." ”
Jiang Er nodded and said, "Well, come here in the near future, you are all in the store." ”
Sister Liu nodded in response, there were a lot of people who took care of the second day of February, Jiang Er just sat down, and a few people came in one after another, some of them knew Jiang Er, greeted each other, and lined up. Fortunately, Sister Liu's hands and feet were also nimble, Jiang Er waited for more than an hour, and finally straightened her head. Jiang Er also paid Da Lin's money by the way, saying that Da Lin would come in a while. After a few more kind words, he left the barber shop and prepared to go back to the shop. Passing by Yu Shanqing's shop, Jiang Er walked in, ready to contact his senior brother, because Zhang Yuanyuan came to the store to pay New Year's greetings in the first month, visited Bai Niangniang, and also talked about the preparation of inviting the opera troupe to the theater after building the temple for a few days, and asked Jiang Er if there was a better troupe, this is a different thing from the drum maker's team, the price difference is not a cent, I promised to go over to inquire, today happened to have Sister Liu, by the way, we asked together.
Jiang Er paged his senior brother, began to wait for news from his senior brother, and chatted with Yu Shanqing for a while, Yu Shanqing made a good living in the first month, and made a lot of money every day, and asked Jiang Er to wait for a while, and went out the back door, and after a while, he came in with an ice cream in his hand, and said to Jiang Er: "Come on, Master Jiang, try this." ”
Jiang Er took the ice cream, this ice cream is not the same as the ice cream of two cents on weekdays, at least it is more than twice as big, square and angular, the wrapper says Yili ice cream, Jiang Er saw it for the first time, and said: "Heh, this ice cream, so big?
Yu Shanqing said: "This sells for five cents, you taste it first." ”
Jiang Er knew that Yu Shanqing took the initiative to take out the things, so he didn't plan to ask for money from himself, he felt that this ice cream was so expensive, but he didn't politely open the wrapped wrapping paper and took a bite, the taste is not two cents of ice cream can be compared to the beauty, not to mention the milky sweet taro, the taste in the mouth is also soft and refreshing, even if the melted ice cream is swallowed into the stomach, the mouth is still fragrant, and he couldn't help but praise: "Mmmm, it's so fragrant, this is delicious, it's worth five cents." ”
Yu Shanqing said: "It's not! After fifteen years, the wholesale market only on this goods, originally I thought it was very expensive, I didn't dare to buy more, into two boxes, but the children ate it, couldn't hold it, and it was sold out in two days. ”
Jiang Er tasted the ice cream again and said: "Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, this good thing is not worried about selling, it is indeed delicious." As he spoke, the phone rang, Jiang Er was busy picking up the phone, sure enough, it was senior brother Zhang Yunqi, the two of them chatted about the drummaker class and the troupe, the senior brother introduced on the phone, there is no shortage of drummer classes, you can do it at any time, and said the approximate price every day. But it's a bit difficult to invite the troupe, it's all state-run, not to mention the price, it's not easy to invite, and the letter of introduction is messy.
Jiang Er was disappointed when he heard this, the two chatted for a while, said peace to each other, and Jiang Er hung up the phone.
Yu Shanqing listened to it and said to Jiang Er: "Master Jiang, let me tell you, now it's said that it's popular, the troupe is not easy to invite, the key is that the troupe is not popular, and the young people who sing the big drama can't understand it, they are all old people who listen to it, and they have to spend a lot of money. ”
Jiang Er nodded when he heard this and said, "Well, in Yanzhou, people also ask two people to do business, but we don't care, we can't find it." Suddenly, Jiang Er thought of Jiang Dasheng, who he met when he first came to Yunshan, Jiang Dasheng's luggage was still in his shop, and he hurriedly flipped through the phone book to find the contact information Jiang Dasheng left for him.
Jiang Er dialed the phone number, the other party picked up the phone, asked Jiang Er who he was looking for, Jiang Er said Jiang Dasheng's name, and the other party asked Jiang Er to hang up the phone, saying that he would call Jiang Dasheng with a loudspeaker, and it was estimated that it would take more than ten minutes to call again. So Jiang Er hung up the phone first, and chatted with Yu Shanqing again, at this moment, the aftertaste of Yili ice cream in his mouth was still lingering between his mouths!
