"Okay, no problem at all. Master, please open the rear cover, we still need to put something! ”

"Did you buy all these fireworks, and it cost a lot of money, right?" After the driver got out of the car, he looked at a large number of fireworks on the side of the road and felt a little numb.

"Not much, just over two thousand. Master, how much money can you run a day now? Yang Jibin said with a smile.

"What, more than two thousand? Do you buy so many fireworks to sell? We only have forty or fifty yuan a day of hard work, and after a month, we can get six or seven hundred yuan after deducting the share money, which is much better than working outside. The driver's tone was a little proud and a little surprised, this is not a New Year's holiday, this little pot friend has bought so many goods, can these be sold?

"It's not bought to sell! It's my grandfather's birthday, and we're going to have a fireworks show tonight to put it off! Yang Jibin shook his head lightly and explained indifferently.

"What? The fireworks of more than 2,000 yuan are going to be set off tonight? Could it be that your grandfather is Yang Yiren, the village chief of Yangjiazhai? The driver was very surprised that he spent more than 2,000 yuan to buy fireworks, which is too expensive.

"Yes, master, how do you know!" Yang Jibin was a little strange, looking at this young male driver.

"Haha, it's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family anymore. Speaking of which, we can be regarded as relatives, my second father is Ren Xingfa, I am Ren Jie, and I just came back from other places. Ren Jie looked very happy and introduced himself.

"Oh, you're Ren Jie's cousin, I'm glad to be there! Some time ago. I heard my uncle-in-law mention you, saying that he wanted you to come back and help take care of the taxi company, but I didn't expect to see you today. Yang Jibin was also very surprised, and he met a relative with a casual wave.

"Yes, I've heard my uncle-in-law talk about you, and said it's thanks to you. I was able to go home and work. It's hard to go out for a thousand days at home, although the flower world outside is good, but there are also a lot of ups and downs! Ren Jie, who is only 20 years old, has been drifting outside for five years, and he can be regarded as an old man.

"Yes, Brother Ren is right. Our hometown will get better and better, and we need the folks and elders to build a better home, welcome you to go home and start a business! Yang Jibin was also very comfortable in his heart, thinking of the tide of migrant workers like migratory birds. Thinking of the marginalized group living in the urban mezzanine a few decades later: the new generation of migrant workers, I sighed for a while.

"I should also call you cousin, I am Yang Jiya, this is our fourth brother Yang Jigang, and this is my little brother Yang Jishun." Yang Jiya saw that the more the two of them talked, the more out of tune, they just didn't do business. Anxiously interjected and then urged.

"Yes, yes, let's talk while walking on the road, it's not too early!" Ren Jie, who was caught in bittersweet memories, said apologetically after hearing the urging.

"It's okay cousin. Don't be in a hurry, it's almost noon, so why don't you come to our place for dinner first. Anyway, it's a flowing water seat, eat as you go, and get on a table. You can eat it directly. Yang Jibin sat in the passenger seat and said.

"No, I'm not hungry at all!" Ren Jie said implicitly.

"Cousin, you're too polite, the family doesn't talk to each other, if you can afford it, let's have dinner, okay!" Yang Jibin patted Ren Jie's shoulder, and his tone was very sincere.

"How can I look down on it, I'm ashamed to say it, when I'm still naughty at home when I'm your size!" Ren Jie also sighed at this time. When I first went home, I heard Ren Xingfa talk about Yang Jibin, and I didn't feel anything, but now when I met and talked, I understood what it means to push the back waves of the Yangtze River to push the front waves. In the past few years, I have really been in vain outside, except for the growth of years, I have almost nothing and empty hands.

"Since that's the case, cousin, don't shirk it, let's have a few drinks together in a while, and it's lively!" Yang Jibin struck while the iron was hot and set the tone.

"Yes, you really don't shirk it, or the brothers will feel disgraced!" Yang Jigang also spoke, and in a conversation with Ren Jie, he faintly felt that he had the experience of mixing society, which was a bit of a stinking feeling.

"Well, I'll be disrespectful." Ren Jie really couldn't wipe his face, so he had to accept it.

"That's okay, brother, I've suffered a lot outside in the past few years, what kind of fun are you having, tell my brother a few things?" Yang Ji just started talking and asked with a smile.

"Hey, don't mention it, I've been out for four years and walked two or three places, but I didn't achieve anything, I once thought about going outside to break through and want to make a name, and then return to my hometown in fine clothes, glorify my ancestors or something. But, alas!

I first worked as a coolie carrying bricks and stones on a construction site, then as a waiter in a restaurant serving dishes, and then I got involved with a boss and almost didn't get into it. Alas, in a word, there are many opportunities outside, but it is definitely not gold everywhere, not all money can be made, and there are many crises here! When Ren Jie mentioned his past, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Brother, it's not a big deal, I'm just like you, and I used to be a hero! I think back then, Lao Tzu's team was only opened, and there were only a dozen people in total, seven or eight guns. Hahaha! Speaking of pride, Yang Jigang couldn't help but sing.

"Hey, is it true, then you also told me!" Hearing this, Ren Jie was also interested.

"What a stinking one! Being a gangster is still happy to be like that, this year you'd better be safe and divided, if you don't take Yangguan Avenue, do you still like to take a single-plank bridge? Yang Jibin said disdainfully.

"You're not a fish, you never know the joy of a fish!" Yang Jigang couldn't hold his face a little, but the dead duck had a hard mouth.

……

A few people came to Yangjiazhai with a smile, and at this time, there was a flow of people near the ancestral house of the old Yang family, and it was a busy scene. For today's birthday banquet, the originally uneven acres of vegetable garden in front of the Yang family's ancestral house had been leveled out a few days earlier, and the entire venue was full of more than forty tables, enough for four or five hundred people to eat at the same time.

The chef Zhang Deyuan and his son, who are in charge of the cooking, started to work as early as two days ago and prepared in advance.

Due to the large number of guests invited to the banquet, dozens of tables should be set up, therefore, many dishes can only be placed on the dam outside the house, and they are made of local materials, using home-fed pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, vegetables and fruits.

It mainly uses poultry and animal meat, mainly meat. Because it is a flowing water mat and the conditions in the countryside are limited, its cooking mostly uses steaming, stewing, and roasting methods. In modern terms, if the guests eat a large amount of food, they must open the table at any time, and the dishes cannot be too much, and they must be auspicious and hearty, so they should use "nine" "bucket bowls" to serve the dishes. "Jiu" means many in Chinese, "dou" means big, and "douwan" means very big.

"Nine bucket bowls" are not delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the big wine, meat, eating, drinking, and doing big things in the countryside are painstaking, laborious, and costly. The family feasts in the countryside are all made of local materials, so the materials are ordinary, the production is simple, and the pomp is not talked about, but only the benefits, so it well reflects the local terroir and original taste.

The "Nine Bucket Bowls" in the rural areas of Tianfu Province, although the dishes are different depending on the conditions and regions, the main dishes are almost the same. Nine dishes: steamed chowder (fat sausage or pork ribs); Button chicken (steamed) or mixed chicken nuggets; ginger elbow or hot nest chicken (steamed, hanging sauce); Braised pork (pork; Sheep; Duck; Goose; fish fillets); steamed bream; stir-fry (or bacon, cured meat); Sweet roasted white; salted white; Eight treasure rice, crispy broth (stewed chicken, stewed duck in good conditions).

At the same time, in order to take care of some exquisite guests, Yang Yiren specially instructed Zhang Deyuan to add a few slightly better-looking dishes to several tables in the Yang family's compound, such as mapo tofu, sauerkraut fish, bean kung pao chicken, spicy beef slices, salted fried pork and so on.

After returning home, Yang Jibin and others first moved the fireworks in the trunk out of the trunk and stacked them in an open space in front of the house. Just a little and a half, a large group of friends didn't know where to get out, and they asked gossip while watching the excitement.

"Wow, where did you get so many fireworks, are you going to set them off tonight?" Although Yang Jilin is still a little girl, she also likes these fireworks that can light up the night.

"Yes, such a long string of firecrackers, what a pity it was set off at once!" Yang Jitong looked at the 5,000 rings of the earth red, drooling, and his eyes were full of small stars.

This will not be popular to wipe firecrackers and drop firecrackers, they all buy firecrackers and come back, and then disassemble them one by one, light an incense, and then put the firecrackers on the ground, on the wall and other places, and light them one by one to listen to the sound.

The bold little pot friend directly took the firecracker in his hand, lit the fuse with incense, and then threw the firecracker out, which is a bit dangerous, but very exciting. Playing firecrackers in this way is a technical job, and Yang Jibin has not done this kind of technical work. Because some firecracker fuses burn quickly, they will be thrown out as soon as they are lit; Some are slower, and you have to wait until the end of the burn before you can throw them, otherwise as soon as you fall to the ground, the lead is likely to be broken and become a squib.

At the same time, every time there is a firecracker in every New Year's holiday, a group of small pot friends will be attracted to clear the field, pick up the squib with gunpowder from the pile of cannon paper, and then grind the squib's wrapping paper to take out the gunpowder inside. This gunpowder can be used to make a bullet for a homemade powder gun, or it can be placed between two pebbles and exploded with a single step of the foot, which is also quite fun. Of course, if the amount of gunpowder used at one time is too large, these games will have a certain degree of danger. (To be continued......)
