Chapter 52: The Car Accident
In the winter, I walked all the way and stayed in the yard for a long time, whether it was from Guandimiao Village or the Guanjia branch clan in Xiaoguan Village, they were all hungry at this time!
Guan Xiaojun is okay, there has always been a sugar cube and melon seed pad, and the rest of the people are a little unable to hold on.
When they arrived at Xiaoguan Village, it was about one o'clock, and by the time the food was served, it was already about two o'clock, and the sun was setting in the west, and the food would come up.
Four cold and four hot plus two soups, a total of ten dishes, there is a saying, called perfect, in fact, it is for a mouthful.
At this time, the plate was very small, and some were simply a small plate, with a blue and white style, and the glaze was extremely rough, which was much worse in refinement than the tea ware of later generations.
Guan Xiaojun dabbled in antique porcelain and other things, and he didn't understand why experts said at first that "porcelain also has spirit, and the rise and fall of dynasties also has an impact on porcelain", because in his concept, porcelain burning is a technology, and it has nothing to do with whether the country is strong or not.
Later, I realized that when a dynasty was in a period of decline, the technicians had no spirit at all, and they did not have the leisure time to fire good porcelain, and even the porcelain of the folk kiln was made to make, and the spirit of craftsmanship had disappeared. Therefore, the quality of porcelain can indeed echo the rise and fall of the dynasty.
Just like now, the tables, chairs and benches around Guan Xiaojun, although they are all solid wood furniture, are rough in workmanship, they are all straight lines, not even a little carved decorative pattern, strong practicality, and almost no artistry.
The dish plate is also rough, with occasional bubble black spots, and at first glance, the porcelain clay has not been sifted clean, and there is no intention to fire.
The bowl is also a coarse porcelain bowl, not so many fancy, it reveals such a thick strength, and the gold-painted fine porcelain bowls of later generations cannot be seen at all.
The rise and fall of a dynasty, rich and poor, can be intuitively reflected from the utensils used by rural households.
However, among the people on the scene, only Guan Xiaojun still had the leisure to think about these things, and the rest of the people had already pushed their cups and changed their lamps and munched on the desk, and their demeanor was gone.
At this time, there was no good wine, but the wine was very particular.
Drinking is done in very small cups, and each table is accompanied by a flask, which is freshly scalded liquor, and the spout is still bubbling white mist in the cold winter.
Drinking wine in winter must be warm, which is the characteristic of this era, and after a few decades, the behavior of warm wine has become less and less, not to mention that it is not seen in the city, and even in the countryside, it is rare to see people drinking warm wine.
Guan Xiaojun estimated that in a few decades, when the children were studying the Three Kingdoms, they might not be able to easily understand the scene of "Guan Gong Wen Wine and Killing Huaxiong".
With the inexorable passage of time and the continuous demise of traditional Chinese culture, some unique things in the era no longer exist, and future generations can only find them from the classics if they want to understand some of the behaviors of the ancients.
The meals on the table, because the plates are small, so there are a lot of them, and the plates of hot and cold dishes are piled up on the plates, and the piles are like small mountains, which looks uniquely joyful.
The cold dishes are refreshing, the hot dishes are fresh and fragrant, the large pieces of fat in the coarse porcelain bowl, the star anise is put enough, and the eating is extremely fragrant, and many people have never left the meat bowl when they eat.
It took more than two hours to cook, but it only took more than ten minutes to eat, and it is estimated that it is less than ten minutes, and the speed is staggering.
Then began to serve the steamed buns, and the leftovers were cold, and the half-pound steamed buns could be eaten by one person, but they were not full, and the mountains of white-flour steamed buns in the dustpan were reduced in rows.
People in this era, because of the lack of oil and water in their stomachs, the amount of food is generally amazing, and some data is unbelievable for future generations to hear.
Guan Yunshan once told Guan Xiaojun one thing, when he was in high school, he trained in the school's basketball team, and when he went to the cafeteria to eat at night, the cafeteria left a big pot of porridge.
You must know that the school bowl is a large porcelain bowl, and a bowl can cost more than half a catty.
Guan Xiaojun himself has also experienced the age of being able to eat, when he was in high school, he brought a bottle of homemade chili sauce from home to the school, and then a classmate ate eleven steamed buns in one go with chili sauce, which scared Guan Xiaojun so much that he didn't dare to let him drink water in the afternoon, for fear that he would die.
It was all in the late nineties, and at that time, half-grown children could eat like this, and people in the seventies and eighties could eat more than people in the nineties!
Even if people who know this era can eat it, but seeing Guan Yun and others next to him, the steamed buns are continued to his throat one after another, and the dishes on the table are swept away in a moment, Guan Xiaojun is still extremely surprised, this Nima is too scary!
There is an adjective called "like a mad tiger", Guan Xiaojun feels that it is not an exaggeration to describe the appearance of these people in front of him.
Guan Yunzhong stuffed steamed buns into his mouth, and vaguely persuaded Guan Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, don't be stunned, eat quickly!"
Guan Xiaojun said in his heart: "What do I eat?
He smiled, "I'll go inside and eat!"
The rest of the people ate in the courtyard, but Guan Hongda and Guan Yunshan, who were "status", were all arranged at the Eight Immortals table in the hall, eating and chatting with several elders in Xiaoguan Village.
Compared with the younger generations in the yard, there are a few more people in the house, everyone chews slowly, and they dare not eat too fast, for fear of being laughed at.
"Xiaojun, why did you come here?"
Guan Hongda saw Guan Xiaojun coming over and said with a smile: "Why aren't you with your uncles?"
Guan Xiaojun said: "It's a little cold outside, I'll come to the house to warm up!"
He couldn't say that he had entered the house because all the food had been robbed, and if he said that, the faces of the whole room would be unbearable.
After he snuggled up to Guan Hongda and had eaten, it was already about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Xiaoguan Village is more than 100 miles away from Guandimiao Village, and at this time, the people in the village naturally want to keep people and prevent Guan Hongda and others from going home.
At this time, it was cold, it was dark early, and it was difficult to walk on the road, so Guan Hongda and the others were no longer polite, and they all stayed in Xiaoguan Village for the night.
After settling down at night, Guan Xiaojun slept with his father, Xiaoguan Village was next to a railway, and the sound of the train clangling in the middle of the night could be heard clearly in the village.
Guan Xiaojun listened to the roar of the train, and always felt that he had forgotten a very important thing, he thought about it, and began to gradually deduce it in his mind from the memories of his previous life, and before he could remember, he heard an earth-shattering noise on the railway in the distance, and the ground shook up.
After this sound, Guan Xiaojun finally remembered.
In the winter of '84, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the most tragic railway accident occurred in the Xiaoguancun section!
