Listening to Du Tanzhi's words, Ao Muyang nodded thoughtfully.

He believed in Du Tanzhi's words, and besides, the village was already on the right path, and it didn't matter if there was any support from the top policy.

Du Tanzhi was afraid that he would not believe it, so he continued to add: "In the development of Longtou Village, the city and county will not clearly intervene, but they will help from the side. In short, you play the middle and bottom lanes of the upper road yourself, and the county and city will give you jungle and support. It is estimated that in the next two or three years, the city will link the village with the international community, and foreign tourist groups will arrive soon. ”

There are foreign tourists in the village, but they are all individual tourists, Hongyang is a port city and an international city, there are many foreign companies and foreign workers in the city, they are very interested in Chinese traditional culture, and often have yellow hair, blue eyes and big nose into the village.

The two chatted for a while, and the sea sacrifice began.

There are people in Wangjia Village and the back building door to help, Yang Shuyong came over in person, Ao Muyang saw him and beckoned: "Old Yang, don't your village sacrifice to the sea today?"

Yang Shuyong said: "Our village will wait for the end of the Lantern Festival before sacrificing, and if we don't fight with your village today, we won't be able to compete with you anyway." ”

Nowadays, fishing villages are engaged in activities to create gimmicks to attract tourists, and there are very few reasons related to tradition, so almost all the tourists who stay in the village for the New Year today come to Longtou Village, and the tourists who do not spend the New Year in the village will not come to travel so early, or they will not come out to travel in the first month, so that other villages do not need to spend manpower and financial resources to engage in useless sea worship activities.

Yang Shuyong came here for other purposes, he said that he was here to help, but in fact, he came to learn.

In the past, the main body of the sea festival was the family in the fishing village, and the big guys carried out the activity of sending boats to the sea collectively with the family or boat group as a unit.

In recent years, as the production of offshore fish has decreased dramatically, the number of vessels going to sea has also decreased, and the number of coastal fish farmers has increased greatly, so that the participants in the festival have changed from the original boat bosses to today's professional farmers in ginseng, fish, crab and nursery farming.

Most fishing villages like Qiantan Town have stopped holding sea festivals since the early 90s, and after more than 20 years, the rules and programs of the activities have been almost forgotten, and now we have to learn from each other.

Yang Shuyong came over with a gift, that is, some dough sculptures. The so-called dough sculpture can be understood as a model of different shapes made of white flour, such as the dragon and phoenix, the eight immortals crossing the sea, a hundred flowers blooming, and the underwater world.

Longtou Village also made its own face sculpture, among which Jiang Xiaoyu took a few women to make a dragon face sculpture, this is the dragon lord to be commemorated, there are heads, eyes, body and tail, dragon beard and dragon scales, painted with paint, gold scales flashing, five claws vigorous, lifelike, vibrant!

The sea of the Red Ocean fisherman is to pay tribute to the dragon king, the sea dragon face sculpture is sent to the high platform erected on the wharf, there is an offering table in front, Ao Mubing commanded a group of women to send the tribute.

The tribute is mainly three livestock, pigs, chickens, fish, compared with the ancestors, the tribute to the sea is less, but pay attention to more, such as pigs, the ancestors use the pig's head, the sea is used to sacrifice the whole pig, and the black boar is the best.

Longtou Village chose a breeding boar, which was very large, like a small tricycle.

This is Ao Muyang asked Lazhong to slaughter, because the pig used for sacrificing to the sea has to shave off the terry, and only leave a circle of black hair on the pig's neck to prove its identity, and blow under the skin to make it look bigger and more majestic.

The same is true for Lazhong to make stinky pork, he is the most professional in doing this.

When the sea was ready to be sacrificed, the big pig was carried up.

Ao Muyang took a look at it, and there was a big circle of black hair left on the pig's neck, and when he saw this, he was anxious: "Who commanded the shaving? Isn't it enough to leave a small circle? What is this for? Tie a scarf to the pig?"

Ao Mudong took out a scraper and hurriedly went up to deal with the aftermath, Ao Muyang shook his head after reading it: "It's still not good, a little less, shave off the black hair behind its pig's head, this is like a beard, can it be so neat?"

It is not far from the auspicious time of the sea sacrifice, Ao Fugui took a red silk cloth knotted to make a big red flower and hung it on the pig's neck, and then someone killed the boar's back, inflated the skin, and then tied it to the fishing net, which has a meaning, symbolizing a net to catch a fish the size of a boar.

The chicken and the fish are easy to solve, the chicken is a big rooster, and the fish is a big gaji fish.

The sacrifices were delivered, and Ao Mubing and Ao Mupeng carried them up to a dragon king temple.

This dragon king temple is not stone, but tied up with wood chips and paper, it is to light the gifts dedicated to the dragon king, there were boys and girls before, Ao Muyang removed this, it was like a funeral, which was not conducive to the image of Longtou Village.

Paper Dragon King Temple from Ao Zhiman's hand, the old craftsman to make things is exquisite, the whole Dragon King Temple has two meters long, wide, high, square, very big, really like a house.

The temple door is a wooden board, carved with pine and cypress on it, this is the pine and cypress door, the plaque is hung on it, the words 'dragon king is mighty' are written, the two sides are hung with red lanterns, under the lantern is the red couplet, the upper link is the dragon's mouth spitting spring water, the lower link is the fisherman's gospel.

After the Dragon King Temple arrived, Ao Fugui stood on the dock in high spirits and shouted: "The technician has arrived!"

As soon as he heard this, Du Tanzhi couldn't help laughing, and he whispered to Ao Muyang: "If it weren't for the Dragon King Temple in front of me, I would have thought I was in the clubhouse." ”

Ao Muyang said embarrassedly: "Next year, change to someone who speaks Mandarin well." ”

Ao Fugui didn't speak Mandarin very well, but his voice was loud, so he was chosen to tell the time, but he called Ji Shi as a technician, and Ao Muyang also heard that something was wrong.

Fortunately, the firecrackers went off immediately, and dozens of strings of firecrackers hung around the pier and banged, which was terrifying.

The four strong men carried the Dragon King Temple to the platform behind the offering table, Jiang Xiaoyu and Lu Zhizi went to put the sea dragon noodle sculpture on it, and someone sent the three animals like flowing water, which is to officially sacrifice to the sea.

Ao Muyang, as the village chief and the leader, he wants to go up to perform the kneeling ceremony.

Ao Xiaojun crossed his arms beside him and said, "Uncle Xiaoyang, don't be nervous, there are not many people below, there are only more than a thousand, most of them are from the village, it's okay." But I look at a lot of cameras, and the big guys are holding up their mobile phones, don't drop the chain on it, or you have to know all the red oceans. ”

Originally, there was really nothing wrong, and Ao Muyang was also a person who had seen big scenes, but when Ao Xiaojun said this, he looked behind him and saw all the cameras, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Ao Xiaojun continued: "Uncle Xiaoyang, have you prepared a draft? Alas, this is the same as when we start school, we have to hold a school every year at the beginning of school, and then there will be student representatives to speak, and this year it is estimated that I will go up to speak." ”

Ao Muyang was quite surprised and asked, "You went up to speak?" Are you a student representative?"

Ao Xiaojun said: "Yes, I was almost the representative last year, oh, we are a student who is naughty and mischievous to go up and give a guarantee to the teachers." ”
