Episode 147 Red Package
Kowloon often comes to Gutian, and has seen many places many times, and he doesn't think there is anything special, it seems that life is to make money, support his family, and leave his name in history.
Hou Lao was telling him in another way that he should remember history and understand his responsibilities.
Perhaps, the third realm of playing with stones can really be realized in Gutian, and Jiulong is thoughtful.
Hou Lao walked around two places, seemed to be a little tired, after all, he was in his eighties, the years were not forgiving, Jiulong knew that if he continued to swim like this, he had to bring down Hou Lao, so he asked Hou Lao to sit on the stool in the hall where Zhongxing Hall provided tourists to rest for a while, and made a phone call himself.
After a while, a sightseeing tour bus that can take five people came, and a young man with a Chinese character face and not a tall man came down from the car, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, claiming to be Wang Qiang, who was from Gutian Travel Company, and asked Hou Lao to hurry up and get on the bus, and he was responsible for the next route.
It turned out that Wang Qiang often went to the Kowloon Stone Pavilion to sit, and he became familiar with it after coming and going, so Kowloon asked him to come over to help.
Sure enough, with the sightseeing car, Hou Lao was more energetic, and Wang Qiang took everyone to the Gutian Conference Memorial Hall.
Here is a record of the older generation of revolutionaries in Gutian once experienced the glorious years, Hou Lao is very serious to look at the hall one by one, Kowloon also visited again, savoring the precious wealth left by the years of passion burning.
There are a lot of artifacts here, and it took more than an hour to see them.
After reading the memorial hall, Wang Qiang took everyone to the must-go place for tourists - the site of the Gutian Conference, which is a national red tourist attraction scenic spot, a national defense education base in Fujian, and a national 5A-level tourist attraction.
This single-storey courtyard brick and wood building was built in the Qing Dynasty, originally as the ancestral hall, and later changed to a primary school, in December 1929, the Gutian Conference was held here, the Gutian Conference established the fundamental principle of the party's absolute leadership over the army, and was a milestone in the history of the founding of the army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was completely repaired, the original appearance of the venue was restored, and a new memorial hall was built.
Entering the scenic spot, from a distance, a few big red characters of "Gutian Conference Shines Forever" clearly come into view.
In front of the meeting site is a field of rape flowers that cannot be seen, rape flowers, ordinary, ordinary, inconspicuous, but because of the collective power of everyone remembered, even loved.
A rape flower may not be as good as a peony or a rose, but a rape flower is different.
This is the most beautiful season of the year, when the fragrance of the earth and the fragrance of cauliflower permeate the mountains and ravines, and the countryside is intoxicating.
Every time the rape flowers bloom, the mountains are golden in front of the old site of the Gutian Conference, and the bees are busy, which is a golden fairyland on earth.
Hou Lao motioned to Kowloon to take a picture of him and his daughter, people were in the flowers, the background was the old site of the Gutian Conference, Hou Lao stood straight here, looking spirited, maybe in his heart, not leaving traces in front of the site, he would feel very regretful.
Yes, at this time, the flow of people has also increased, and many tourists with children dance in the flowers, shouting excitedly, as if entering the fairyland of the world.
After taking pictures, I came to the old site of the Gutian Conference.
The site of the Gutian Conference was originally the ancestral hall of the Liao family, which was built in the late Qing Dynasty and was the site of the Harmony Primary School after the Republic of China.
The ancestral hall is a group of brick and wood buildings, consisting of front and rear halls and left and right wings. There is a well on the left side outside the ancestral hall, and there is a Red Army review stand on the right side, and the cedar cypress behind it is towering to the sky.
Kowloon took Hou Lao to the back hall of the meeting place.
This was originally the school's senior classroom, and it was here that the Furuta Conference was held.
There are rostrums, monograms, party flags, statues of great men, and seats for deputies.
Hou Lao pointed to a place underground where there were traces of charcoal fire, and said to Jiulong: "When the meeting was held, the weather was very cold, and you could only burn firewood for warmth, can you resemble the harsh environment at the beginning?"
Kowloon nodded.
"There is a very fashionable sentence here: 'Success starts here', yes, big to the country, small to the individual, to succeed, you need to pay a great price, not just casual success, before, I know a lot about the history of the red, but today to the old site of the Gutian Conference, the feeling is different, I really hope that you young people to do a good job of yourself, in order to live up to the price paid by the ancestors. ”
Jiulong was born in the red land, and I have seen a lot of tourists come to visit, but like Hou Lao, there are not many feelings while visiting, perhaps, the elderly especially hope that the young people nowadays will not lose themselves in the materialistic society, and do things worthy of the older generation.
After visiting the meeting site, I was about to go to the next stop, Hou Lao's phone rang, and it was President Min Xilin calling: "Hou Lao, how can you go to Gutian without saying a word, our Fujian Shiyou welcome your arrival, Hou Lao, you tell me where you are, I will come over immediately." ”
"President Lin, you are busy with you, I came here for the Spring Festival this time, just to come to Gutian to relax, so as not to disturb you. ”
Hou Lao politely refused.
"Why bother? I only learned from Master Deng that you were here, and it just so happened that I had something to ask you about. ”
President Lin seemed to be eager to see Elder Hou.
Every time Hou Lao came to Longyan, he would greet Master Deng, and this time it was the same, just telling Master Deng not to pick him up, he would go to Kowloon to play for a few days first.
It seems that Master Deng may think that the big man is coming, and the Stone Appreciation Association will not come forward, so he will inform President Lin of this matter.
Hou Lao thought for a while and told President Lin not to come over, he would come to Master Deng tomorrow, and Hou would meet at that time.
He also wanted to have a good day in Gutian today, and he wouldn't see anyone.
Kowloon understood Hou Lao's intentions and asked Wang Qiang to drive a sightseeing car to take Hou Lao to the "Red Yun Hotel".
This hotel is facing the old site of the Gutian Conference, the largest in the Gutian open to the outside world, can receive more than 40 tables at a time, full of tourists every day, the owner is a young man, thirty years old, surnamed Xiong, self-proclaimed Xiong Da, see Jiulong coming, smiling face: "Xiao Huang, what wind blows you here today." ”
"Xiong Da, this is Hou Lao from the capital, what are the special dishes, come up with a few dishes, let Hou Lao taste it." ”
"Hou Lao, as soon as I see you, I have a feeling of seeing the great monks, it's really an honor, I have a famous dish in my store, called Hongyun dang, just like Hou Lao came to the door today, Hongyun came to the door, I don't know if it is suitable for Hou Lao's appetite. ”
"What kind of dish is 'Red Luck Head'? ”
Hou Lao responded simply.
"It's made from a whole pig's head, and it's crispy and refreshing. ”
Xiong Dabi replied respectfully.
"I'm an old man, so let's be a little lighter. ”
Hou Lao politely refused.
"Then let's have a 'Red Army meal', Hou Lao. The bear brain reacted quickly and responded immediately.
"Yes, what's in the 'Red Army Meal', tell me about it. ”
Hou Lao immediately came to be interested.
"Red rice, pumpkin soup, sweet potato, plum cabbage and meat, stir-fried smoked bamboo shoots, Guanyin vegetables, tofu skin, fried fish dumplings in Shanghang, and a serving of seasonal vegetables. ”
The bear is as big as a treasure.
"Okay, okay, don't have so much, just have some red rice, pumpkin soup and sweet potatoes. ”
Hou Lao ordered the first three things.
"Old Hou, it's too vegetarian, I'm afraid you won't be used to it. ”
Jiulong interjected, he felt that if he invited Hou Lao to come, he should always let him eat something decent, just these three things, especially the red rice, which is very hard and hard to chew, and many tourists can't eat it after ordering it.
