After returning to Lijiaao, the Spring Festival of 86 was coming soon, and Li Huayong decided not to think about all the sundries, and to finish the year first.

In later generations, it is common to hear people complaining that the taste of the new year is getting weaker and weaker. However, what is the "flavor of the New Year"? Li Huayong believes that the so-called "flavor of the New Year" is actually a kind of mood, and only when you devote yourself to it and really think that it is the New Year, can you feel the so-called "flavor of the New Year."

This time he came to this small village hidden deep in the mountains to celebrate the New Year, and Li Huayong felt that he had a good time.

In all fairness, the Spring Festival in this era is really not as colorful as in later generations, especially in the countryside, which is even more simple and rude. In addition to going from house to house to greet each other, the most important thing left is actually one word: eat!

Eat and drink, eat and eat hase.

"Dunzi, come and try this pork, it's a pity that our pigs here can't be good, they are all stocked in the mountains, and they can't grow fat, come and come to clip this slightly fatter ......"

Li Huayong's eyes widened, the legendary "running boar", how much will it cost to buy in the future, and you still want me to eat that fat one? No, no, of course, what I prefer is the thin one.

"Uncle Dunzi, come and I'll help you clip a piece of "head animal", these chickens are thrown in the bamboo forest halfway up the hill to raise them, and no one usually cares about them, and I don't know if they suit your taste......

Li Huayong's eyes widened again, it was so palatable! Where will I find this pure green and pollution-free "bamboo forest chicken" in the future? You let me eat this chicken leg, right? I eat it, I eat it.

In many parts of Nam Giang province, the so-called "head animal" is actually a white chopped chicken. Everyone should be able to see from this title that the status of chickens in the eyes of rural people. After all, a lot of rural people's pocket money in these years is actually taken out from behind the chicken's buttocks. This is the reason why chickens can become "head animals".

It is precisely for this reason that it is actually a very high etiquette to "respect the head of the animal" in the countryside, especially the two chicken legs on a plate of white chopped chicken, which ordinary people are really not qualified to enjoy. For example, in rural banquets, chicken wings are generally the patent of children, and the chicken wings are sandwiched to the youngest person, which means "spreading their wings and flying high". And what about two chicken legs? It has to be enjoyed by the most distinguished guests or the most respectable person.

This time I returned to Lijiaao for the New Year, every time Li Huayong went to someone else's house to pay New Year's greetings, and every time he went to the table to eat, he could basically enjoy the treatment of "respecting the head of the animal". In his previous life, he was a native of Nanjiang Province, and he actually knew this kind of etiquette, but there was no way, the temptation of food was too great, and as for whether he was qualified enough? Is it rude to do this? Li Huayong can't care so much.

So in this way, Li Huayong incarnated as a foodie during the Spring Festival, and since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, he has been going from house to house every day to eat. However, the meal during the Chinese New Year is different from usual, so how can we say that? Because of the large number of people who pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, in the rural areas of Nam Giang Province, every household actually has a "flowing water seat." As long as someone comes to the door to pay New Year's greetings, at any time, they may pull you to the banquet to drink.

Especially this year's Li Jiaao is even more different from the past, it can be regarded as a blessing for Li Huayong, this year every household has much more money on hand than in the past, and it is directly reflected in the flowing water seat is much richer than in previous years, which also leads to Li Huayong getting countless opportunities to be "worshipped".

The most exaggerated is the third day of the Lunar New Year, on this day Li Huayong drank a total of 8 meals of wine and gnawed 5 chicken legs.

In the end, it was Uncle Gen who saved Li Huayong from the dire situation. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Uncle Gen found Li Huayong on this day: "Dunzi, today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, although it is said that fifteen is not over the year, but you have to do something." ”

"What's the matter?"

Uncle Gen glared: "Didn't I tell you a few years ago that I would rebuild two houses." ”

Li Huayong patted his head: "Yes, yes, yes, how did I forget this stubble....Hey, uncle, I remember that you said to renovate it before, but now why have you rebuilt two rooms?"

"I've thought about it for a few days, it's very troublesome to renovate, it's more convenient to rebuild two rooms, the day before yesterday I told your grandfather and several other uncles about this, and they also agreed, Dunzi you see, everyone agrees with our family to build a few more rooms in that place, what do you think?"

Li Huayong followed Uncle Gen's finger and looked over, it was a very conspicuous place in the whole village, if you start from the perspective of Feng Shui Kanyu, even Li Huayong, a fake feng shui gentleman, can see that it is a very good homestead.

Li Huayong didn't know much about the rural homestead policy in those years, but it probably wouldn't be very perfect, right? Especially in this kind of remote village hidden in the mountains, it is impossible to be very strict. Listening to Uncle Gen's tone, he said, "Your grandfather and several other uncles" are actually the longest in the village. In a natural village like Lijiaao, there should be a bit of a "patriarch" meaning. It seems that as long as these people agree, they can own the homestead.

Li Huayong was full of interest. In the past, when Uncle Gen said that he was renovating the house, he didn't take it to heart. But building a new house is not the same as renovating it. You must know that Li Huayong has been a little scared of eating "head animals" in the past few days, and he is trying to find something to digest and digest the oil and water in his stomach.

"Okay, okay, or else, uncle, I'll design this house, right?"

Just when Li Huayong was pondering whether to build a "new rural model house" in Lijiaao, Uncle Gen spoke: "What kind of design? What design do we rural people need to build a house, and I already know how this house will be built." Go, I've already told Zhuzi, Dunzi, the most important thing for you in the past few days is to help him get back those materials he needs. ”

"Huh?"

Li Huayong, who was still thinking about the "new rural model house", was stunned when he heard it, it turned out that he didn't need to be a designer, as long as he was a porter, this contrast was a bit big.

However, Li Huayong did not refute Uncle Gen's words, because he only noticed the architectural characteristics of the entire village at this time.

After careful observation, Li Huayong was a little surprised.

Because Li Huayong noticed that although this place is remote and poor, and all the houses in the village are basically old, the environment here is beautiful, even those old buildings seem to have a very reasonable layout, and have a very aesthetic appearance.

"Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is beautiful, the layout is reasonable, and the buildings are integrated between the mountains and rivers. And the patchwork of horse-head walls. Green hills, green water, white walls, and daiwa are delicate in the simplicity, and the layout is flexible and rhythmic. This is the most typical Hui style building. ”

Just as there are eight major cuisines in China, there are also so-called eight schools of traditional Chinese architecture. Hui architecture is one of the most important schools of traditional Chinese architecture.

It is not surprising that Hui architecture has emerged in Nam Giang province. Not to mention that Lijiaao is close to ancient Huizhou, the birthplace of Hui architecture, and Hui architecture is very influential in the south of our country, not to mention here, even if it is a more economically developed Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, the architectural style of those places is deeply influenced by Hui architecture.

Li Huayong didn't dare to think about the "new rural model house" at this time.

"It's a surprise every year, and there are so many of them this year. I really didn't expect that this place of Lijiaao is really a treasure, in addition to discovering a kind of superb marble, it can also find a natural village of Hui style architecture that is so well preserved. Here, if it's going to be well developed......"

"Dunzi, Dunzi?"

Uncle Gen interrupted Li Huayong's thoughts.

"Oh, uncle, you said to help the pillar bring in materials, right? I'll go. ”
