Seeing these two coming back with a large handful of willow branches, they looked like a talented woman from a distance, just like a pair of beautiful people.

He was followed by a dog.

If it weren't for Zhou Heng's parents beside him, it is estimated that Li Li would have to tease at this time: a happy family of three, dogs, men and women.

Generally speaking, she is more outgoing than Hu Jinhua and likes to joke.

However, she can't joke, she still has to be a demon, and began to sing Huangmei Opera in her mouth:

"The birds in the trees are in pairs, and the green waters and green mountains are smiling,

From now on, I will not suffer from that slavery, and both husband and wife will return their homes,

Thou hast ploughed the fields and I have woven cloth, and I have brought water to thy garden,

Although the cold kiln can withstand the wind and rain, the love of husband and wife is bitter and sweet.

You and I are like mandarin ducks, flying like wings in the world......"

Li Yunlian can sing this song, but she doesn't know why Li Li sings it, so she hummed along anyway. When I watched the play before, I don't know how many times I watched this play, and I liked this kind of singing very much.

Although Jiang Xiaoxuan is not from here, this song can be said to be a household name, and she has naturally heard it.

At first, I didn't react, but I thought they sang very well, and they were very interested. It wasn't until later that I came back to my senses, and my face turned a little red.

Zhou Heng threw the willow branches to Li Li and said, "I can't let you be idle, you can peel off these willow branches and wear them for barbecue for a while." ”

Li Li said: "I'm peeling potatoes, who said I'm idle?"

Zhou Faqiang was about to come over to do it, but Li Li had already given the willow branch to Hu Jinhua and asked him to do it.

She also smiled and said to Zhou Faqiang: "Uncle, you just rest, you don't have to do these jobs yourself, you just need to eat for a while." ”

She is not good at cooking seasonings or anything, but she can help with some hands, peeling and cutting vegetables.

Over there, Jiang Xiaoxuan put her phone at a suitable shooting angle and began to prepare the marinade. Some fish, meat, can't be marinated and tasted.

Anyway, I had dinner not long ago, and now I'm not hungry, so I don't need to worry, I can marinate it whenever I want.

While making it, he arranged Zhou Heng: "You cut this meat, cut it a little thicker, otherwise it will be gone if you bake it." ”

Zhou Heng cut next to her, but Jiang Xiaoxuan glanced at it from time to time, so as not to cut it too thick or too thin.

Over there, Hu Jinhua teased Li Li in a low voice: "This willow branch, the ancients were used to send off, and the ancient transportation was not developed, and they took more waterways, so in a place like the ferry, where they often sent off, the willow trees were bald, and they were refracted before they had time to grow new branches." ”

Li Li was amused and laughed, and said, "Then I also heard that willow branches can ward off evil spirits!"

Li Yunlian interjected and said: "The peach tree branch is also used to ward off evil spirits, and Zhang Tianshi is the peach wood sword used." ”

Li Li was impressed, and smiled in surprise: "Ouch auntie, you are good! You even know this? You are very fashionable!"

Li Yunlian was encouraged, and she was also very interested: "Yes, we have heard others talk about books before, and many gentlemen talk about these nonsense, such as the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, and Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu." ”

Li Li asked her to tell her with great interest, she wanted to hear how the previous generation told these stories. The estimated version is certainly different.

Li Yunlian told her a story about Liu Bei's three brothers, which is a story full of fantasy.

said that when Liu Bei got acquainted with Guan and Zhang at the beginning, because he was too poor and always wanted to eat and drink, he was always disliked by Guan and Zhang.

One day, Liu Bei came to Guan Yu's house to eat again, and Zhang Fei was also there, so the two of them came up with a plan: invite Liu Bei to eat in the courtyard.

The dining table was placed next to the well at home, and there was no cover on the well, only straw mats were spread, and Liu Bei was invited to take a seat. They wanted Liu Bei to fall into the well.

As a result, Liu Bei sat up, ate and drank correctly, and did not fall down at all, Guan and Zhang were very frightened, thinking that this is a person who wants to achieve great things with the help of gods!

As a result, the two began to look at Liu Bei with admiration, so there was the story of "Taoyuan Three Knots".

These rural legends are both amazing and interesting to hear Hu Jinhua and Li Li, which is completely different from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in their impressions.

Li Yunlian has many such wild and interesting little things, and she can talk about one casually.

For example, Liu Bei didn't want to lose face in front of Guan and Zhang, and always said that his family was also very rich, and pointed to a jar filled with mud in his house and said: It's all gold, and I pretend to be poor every day, just because I'm afraid that others will ask me to borrow money.

As a result, Guan and Zhang definitely didn't believe it, so they found an opportunity to take a sneak look, and then they really saw a whole jar of gold!

There is no doubt that the gods will help each other.

Treat these two people to obedience.

Like these legends, it is estimated that they have been popular for hundreds of years, anyway, people in the past liked to listen to stories with a bit of fantasy, so they felt that Liu Bei was really ordered by heaven and occupied the side of righteousness.

Anyway, it's good that some people love to pass it on and someone watch it.

Zhou Heng didn't know how many times he had heard these wild fun, Hu Jinhua and Li Li listened to them with relish, and sometimes laughed, thinking it was too interesting.

Jiang Xiaoxuan couldn't understand a word over there, and Zhou Heng had to translate for her, and then he teased her.

When the meat is almost marinated, it's time to start preparing for the barbecue.

The willow branches that Hu Jinhua peeled over there have also been made and can be used at any time. They can all help with such a small thing as wearing meat.

Zhou Faqiang here looks at the situation, needless to say, he has begun to make a fire.

Making firewood is his specialty, after all, he has worked all his life. Make a fire, then put the iron grill plate on it, and you can put the meat on it to grill.

For barbecue, the most important thing is seasoning, really barbecue on the fire, everyone can operate, roast and eat by themselves, and eat a little cooked if you want to, so you don't need anyone to come to barbecue.

Originally, it was arranged like this, but while eating, it became Li Yunlian and Jiang Xiaoxuan to bake more and put it aside, and whoever wanted to eat it could take it.

Zhou Heng originally wanted to bake it himself, so he said, "You guys are like this, it will make me lazy." ”

Then just pick it up and eat it.

As usual, he and Hu Jinhua drank beer, and the rest of the people drank water or juice. Fruit juice is the juice of grapes or pears at home.

There used to be a soybean milk machine at home, which could also be used for juicing, and I don't know when I bought what electrical appliances I gave them.

Looks like a washing machine?

Zhou Heng had forgotten.

And these relatively new electrical appliances, the old lady has not even opened the box, has not been used once, every time the box has accumulated dust, she also wiped it clean, and then put it away.

Zhou Heng asked her to use it, she said that she wouldn't use it, for fear that it would be broken, and she wanted to take it out when he got married in the future, so it would be new - there are many such small appliances at home.

For example, small hot pot, blowing wind, induction cooker and so on.

So, he came back this time and turned all these things out and used them.

Zhou Heng and Hu Jinhua touched a cup, and the two persuaded each other to drink, and then chatted about the arrival of his art association tomorrow.

In fact, the province is still very woodcarving style, in the past, in the woodcarving world, there was a place. But it seems that once that era passes, many things are broken.

There are only a few widely praised woodcarving factions now, and the estimated value of the works is only those.

But even they have the problem of missing inheritors, not to mention their small faction!

Although the wood carving art in their province has long been inscribed on the World Heritage List, it is still not too valued. That is, some people in the industry are just entertaining themselves.

There may be some masters who can sell their works at a high price, but after they get to that point, they are no longer willing to sell the carved works, so they keep them all by themselves.

For example, some works are only produced in a few years or more than ten years, and some sixty or seventy-year-old wood carving masters have long passed the age of looking at money.

In short, people like Hu Jinhua who are so young and have such understanding and creativity in wood carving still cherish it, so they made an appointment to come and have a look.

Zhou Heng asked Hu Jinhua: "Old Hu, what are your plans in the future?" Why don't you go to the provincial capital to find a place and open a studio?"

Hu Jinhua frowned, shook his head slightly, and said: "There is an old man surnamed Huang in our association, who is highly virtuous and artistic, and has worked in a big city for more than 20 years, and now he is back and has opened a shop in the provincial capital, and no one knows the signboard hanging out. ”

Li Li immediately took out a video from her mobile phone, handed it to Zhou Heng, and said, "Look at it, this is it." ”

Zhou Heng took it and took a look, the store sign was carved with three big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, representing the name of their faction, but the store was probably the same as the ordinary shop that sold steamed buns early, not too big, and it was full of all kinds of wood.

The master took the tools to the door of the store to operate, in order to attract passers-by, but no matter how beautiful he carved, there were still not many people standing and not attracting attention.

Business basically relies on old customers to introduce each other.

Therefore, what Hu Jinhua means is that it is not easy for a master like that, as well as a famous person, to make a name for himself in the provincial capital.

How much more is he?

Like Hu Jinhua, going to a big city to find a job is nothing more than going into a furniture factory to help people carve screens, TV walls and other objects, and the salary should still be considerable when he is young.

But those masters did not advise him to go to those places, for fear of mistaking his talent and losing his creativity.

The old masters look at the problem differently from the young people, who basically say: just let him do as much as he can make money, but they value Hu Jinhua's creativity more, and they are afraid that he will be buried and will not be seen by the public.

In fact, there is a stubborn and stubborn master, 65 years old this year, who still insists on all hand-carving, and he thinks that mechanical carving can not achieve the artistic conception he thought of.

Everyone knows that electric engraving is fast and convenient, so it is estimated that there are only some old artists who are fighting against the times like this.

Zhou Heng naturally couldn't make up his mind for him, it was all up to what he thought, he just said: "Don't worry that I need people to raise chickens here, so always think about me, don't worry about me here." ”
