It wasn't until Jiang Xiaoxuan had enough filming that she reluctantly got up and prepared to go back.

Back at the entrance of the village, Jiang Xiaoxuan stretched out her hand to Zhou Heng: "Come, give me the kitten." ”

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you really want to take my kitten away?" That's not good, this is for our family to catch mice." ”

Jiang Xiaoxuan: "......"

How does this person introduce a sub-son?

She said, "I won't take it away, I'll just hug it." ”

Zhou Heng handed the kitten to her.

Just after walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a sound of erhu, and then a long singing voice appeared:

"God is so hard to help heroes,

Sigh Haojie is not as good as Artemisia Peng!

Don't promise to forge clouds for 90,000 miles,

It only fell into a sea of boiling dust thousands of weights.

I'm a martial artist!

It's like a trail of waves,

It has also been made by fish and shrimp.

Look at the wine flag that says, 'Three bowls are not enough,' what does this mean? Wait for me to drink a few glasses and ask for clarification.

Restaurant!"

The voice is vigorous, and the singing voice is full of artistic appeal with local characteristics.

Jiang Xiaoxuan only heard the first sentence, and stood in place, shocked and refusing to take another step.

She asked Zhou Heng, "Can we go in and listen?"

Zhou Heng said: "What's wrong with this? This is the home of our primary school teacher, who is now retired. Let's go, I'll take you in. ”

I believe that there is such a person in many villages: he is a primary school teacher, he has been teaching for decades, a certain father goes to primary school with him, and his son is still studying in primary school with him, and the teacher can tell what characteristics the father and son have.

Basically, it can be said that two generations of the entire village have all been taught from under him.

In the village, he was a respected old man.

Mr. Liu used to be a private teacher, responsible for teaching Chinese and music, and later turned the private office into a public office, but he was not qualified enough to transfer, and then later, the private office was canceled, and he had no choice but to retire.

In fact, he was not too old after retirement, so he joined a performance band to accompaniment people's wedding banquets and make some money.

But weddings don't happen every day, and most of the time is spent at home.

Unexpectedly, he still has this Yaxing, playing and singing by himself at home.

When I walked in, it turned out that Mr. Liu was not alone, there was also a bald old man, who was Lao He in the village.

Both of them have musical instruments on hand.

In front of them, there was also a platform with colorful paper figures on it.

Zhou Heng said hello: "Teacher Liu, you are so early, you are so Yaxing!"

While adjusting the piano, Teacher Liu raised his head and promised him: "Zhou Heng, is it you?" We have nothing to do after breakfast, entertain ourselves, hehe...... How's your dad's health? Are you alright?"

Speaking of which, when Zhou Heng's father came back from the hospital, he also went to visit with his things, after all, his home is not far away.

Zhou Heng and Teacher Liu chatted enthusiastically.

Teacher Liu pointed to Zhou Heng and introduced to Lao He: "This is the kid of the old Zhou family, do you still have an impression?"

In fact, everyone is from Longxi Village, but one lives in the east of the village and the other in the west, the village is not small, and there is a big age difference like this, if the contacts are not dense, there may be no impression.

Zhou Heng knew him because he had a classmate from elementary school who lived next door to him, and he often saw this person when he was a child.

But Lao He doesn't know this junior very well, and he knows his father when he talks about it.

Zhou Heng mentioned the name of his elementary school classmate, and Lao He suddenly remembered: "Oh, remember to remember, when you were a child, you stole my family's watermelons, and they were not red, and they ruined several melons." Hahaha......"

Zhou Heng was suddenly stunned.

They were noisy, and Jiang Xiaoxuan took the opportunity to admire the green paper figures on the table.

Teacher Liu saw that she was born, but she saw that it was brought by Zhou Heng, presumably his girlfriend, so he enthusiastically introduced: "This is our shadow puppet show here, we have nothing to sing and play." I just sang "Wu Song Fights the Tiger". ”

Authentic local vernacular, he has taught all his life, and he has never taught in Mandarin.

Zhou Heng translated for her.

Only then did Mr. Liu know that the girl was a foreigner.

As a local native, I must have the obligation to introduce the local characteristics to this outsider.

He pointed to Lao He and said, "Lao He is the inheritor of shadow puppetry in our region, and he was hired back to the Folk Culture Research Center as a consultant. We have time to practice privately on our own. ”

Zhou Heng was a little surprised, he went to his family's house to steal melons to eat when he was a child, and he didn't know that he was singing shadow puppetry.

I didn't expect to be rehired by the city now.

Thinking about it, he was in that era when he was a child, and many things had been eliminated, and shadow puppetry could also be regarded as one of the "four olds", and it was estimated that it was also affected.

In fact, not only shadow puppetry, but many things have been eliminated, and the inheritance is about to be broken. Many young children have only heard of such a thing, but they have never seen it.

Zhou Heng didn't understand why Lao He was obviously a shadow puppet expert, but why he was only working as a farmer at home at that time?

The reasons and encounters for this are probably similar to those of many people in that era.

Lao He is dressed very interestingly now, with a head that doesn't have much hair left, and a big back comb, shiny and shiny, with a scalp.

Although the shirt on his body was not new, it was extremely straight, the hem was tied in the trousers, and the leather shoes were old and cleanly polished.

It's so hot, and I still have a teacup in my hand, and when I want to beat the rhythm, I put the teacup on the table.

Zhou Heng remembered that when he was a child, the village cadres dressed up like this, walking among the villagers with mud legs, and they felt like they stood out from the crowd, and the cadres were full of style.

But after several decades, the trend of cadres has progressed, why is he still dressed up like this?

Zhou Heng made a big guess, maybe Lao He was still alive a few decades ago. He thinks that being rehired by the city is more or less a cadre, so he has to pay attention to a little style.

Now, both of them are in their old age, and this hobby is left, which is quite good.

Jiang Xiaoxuan was also very interested in this art, and picked up small paper figures with bright colors and fiddled with them, very amazed.

She is a few years younger than Zhou Heng, and she has never seen many things at all.

Speaking of which, this area is known as the "hometown of shadow puppetry", but I haven't seen anyone play it for decades, and Zhou Heng, a local, is almost no longer able to say the taste of shadow puppetry.

Regarding shadow puppetry, Zhou Heng has some understanding.

In fact, there are different styles of shadow puppetry in farming all over the country.

Legend has it that it first came out of the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and began to flourish in the Tang and Song dynasties, and even exported culture during the Yuan Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty was probably the heyday of shadow puppetry, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Tao was in chaos, and the imperial court began to suppress it. Later, when the world became more chaotic, the art stagnated even more.

After the liberation, shadow puppetry ushered in a period of revival, but after the "breaking of the four olds", the industry almost died out.

Nowadays, these old cultures, which are about to disappear, are gradually being remembered and then brought out to be revived.

It can only be said that the times dictate.

Regretful, but helpless. History always moves forward non-stop, and will not wait for anyone or anything, and if you can't catch up, you can only be eliminated.

Jiang Xiaoxuan was really interested, and Teacher Liu and Lao He were also interested because of the addition of her as a devout audience, so they pulled up the curtain on the spot and sang a play.

As soon as the door is closed, the windows are closed, and the room is pitch black, and behind the curtain of the shadow puppet show, several lights are lit, and the characters with delicious depictions are manipulated and pasted on the curtain to present to the audience.

The audience sees the colorful leather figures walking, standing, playing or dancing, all of which are controlled by the people in the background.

Teacher Liu sang by himself, Lao He alone controlled the three characters and sang the lines of the supporting roles, and the two of them also acted in a play.

Jiang Xiaoxuan recorded with a camera throughout the whole process, feeling the greatness of art.

People who are nearly 70 years old still sing so boldly and powerfully, and art can really infect people.

Although she couldn't understand some dialect lines, the story of "Wu Song Fighting the Tiger" almost didn't need lines, and the storyline was already in her mind.

Walking out of Teacher Liu's house, Jiang Xiaoxuan was still excited, and said: "Unexpectedly, I actually watched a special shadow puppet show today, and I finally know what the shadow puppet show is all about." ”

Zhou Heng looked at her smile sideways, and couldn't help but laugh along.

People and people's minds are really different.

When everyone is still struggling with their own food and clothing, buying a house, buying a car, marrying a wife and having children, etc., she thinks about this and that all day long.

Watching a shadow puppet show is as exciting as watching a celebrity concert.

When he returned home, Jiang Lijun had a black face.

Didn't he just get up a little late? His daughter ran away with someone in ......the mountains!

Knowing her father, Jiang Xiaoxuan knew what he was thinking when she saw her father's expression, and hurriedly said: "Dad, I just went to take some pictures, and I asked someone to show me the way." ”

Jiang Lijun continued not to speak, but he was still polite and polite to Zhou Heng.

After breakfast, he politely said goodbye and left.

Although he and Zhou Heng reached a deal, all kinds of procedures had to be done slowly, and Zhou Heng still needed to go through some procedures such as licenses, breeding and quarantine.

In the past, Zhou Faqiang only thought about selling to the local restaurant on the national highway in the town, but he didn't know what kind of certificate he wanted to get.

Now the local chicken is going out of the province, in order to avoid trouble, any certificate is indispensable.

When the time comes, Jiang Lijun will not come over in person, but will send someone to come over for acceptance.

Of course, before leaving, the order was completed by handwritten contract, in duplicate, signed and stamped by each party, and the deposit was also paid one-third of the total price, which is also required by the process, and both parties need transaction protection.

Five hundred chickens, calculated at 500 yuan each, the total price is 250,000 yuan, and the deposit is 80,000 three.

Online banking transactions are convenient, and Zhou Heng soon received the news of the payment.

Honestly, not getting excited is a lie. In the past, when I worked in the company, I received more than this number of the smallest orders, but what was the use? The money was all the boss's, and he could only get a small commission.

Now, this first deal has given him a taste of sweetness.

Breeding APP, black technology chickens, really deserves its name. He knew that good goods were not to be sold.

But he also knows that this is just the beginning.

Not only him, but his parents were also pleasantly surprised.

Life finally has hope.

Zhou Heng's family sent his father and daughter all the way to the entrance of the village, and the taxi was already waiting there, it was the car that sent Jiang's father and daughter yesterday.

Expecting that there would be no car on the return trip, Jiang Lijun left his master's phone number yesterday, and now he will send them directly to the provincial airport.

Before getting in the car, Jiang Lijun began to blame his daughter, and he didn't say hello to his father when he went out, which was too unsettling.

Then he asked all kinds of questions, did the young man say anything to her, did he harass her? If so, the deal will be canceled in the future, and let that guy drink the northwest wind!

Jiang Xiaoxuan pursed her lips, grimaced at him, and said, "What are you nervous about! Your daughter has graduated from college, not junior high school! I can tell what to do and what not to do." ”

Jiang Lijun said: "What's wrong with graduating from college? Don't you have to go out and report to your father?"

Jiang Xiaoxuan spread out her hands, made a convincing and helpless expression, and said: "Don't you just want to ask, did your new supplier talk to me? Tell you, no! He is still afraid that I will steal his cat!"

Jiang Lijun was stunned, what is the situation?

Isn't that just a native cat? My daughter would do something like that?!

However, without accosting, he put his mind at ease. Hey, the deal can continue.

He was now starting to think in his head about what the new menu would be like and what he was going to try.

Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at her father, but thought in her heart: I don't want to be a gourmet, I just want to be an Internet celebrity photographer quietly.
