readx;?“ Okay, what's there to ask? Zhang Taiping said with a smile, he seemed very patient with this girl, I don't know if it was the reason for the two dimples. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ\、qΒ5、//

"Nope." Zhang Xiaoqing shook his head.

Zhang Taiping stood up: "Then let's work." ”

Zhang Xiaoqing and Ye Ling stood up together and said, "How to do it?" I'll help. ”

"There's nothing you need to do, you just have to watch from the sidelines." Zhang Taiping shook his head and said.

"I'd better find something to help me and experience it." Zhang Xiaoqing took off the bag on his body and the camera hanging around his neck, hung it on the peach tree next to him, and said.

Zhang Taiping pointed behind him and said, "Then you can put flower seeds with Ye Ling." So Zhang Taiping dug a small pit or shallow trench with his head in front, and two girls in the back, one big and one small, put the seeds in it and gently covered it with a layer of soil.

Near noon, Zhang Taiping finished his morning's work and went down the mountain with the two girls. One morning, just tidy up the land around the three huts and plant the seeds of the flowers.

"Have you ever been to the hot springs?" Zhang Taiping asked, carrying his head and lighting a cigarette with a shovel.

Zhang Xiaoqing wrinkled her nose, and a freckle on the tip of her nose was resurrected, which made her even more playful and cute: "Not yet, I just walked around the orchard, lavender field and pond in the morning, and then went to the hot spring to do an interview after lunch at noon." ”

"If you need any help, let me know." Zhang Taiping said.

"Hmm." Zhang Xiaoqing nodded: "There is just one thing that needs your help." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Taiping snuffed out the cigarette butt he had smoked.

Zhang Xiaoqing said: "I heard that Mr. Zhang is a well-known old Chinese medicine sage, and I want to give him an exclusive interview, and when the time comes, it will not only be a good topic to publicize, but also attract many patients to transfer a lot of money." ”

Zhang Taiping was a little embarrassed, he just said that if there is any problem to find himself, the first problem raised by others cannot be solved. I can only be cheeky and say: "This may not be able to help." ”

"Why?"

Zhang Taiping explained: "There are already a lot of people who come to see the doctor now, the old man is busy all day from morning to night without a place to spare, he is already over 90 years old, and he really dare not go on like this." If I spread the word again to attract more people to see a doctor, I am afraid that the old man's body will not be able to bear it. ”

Zhang Xiaoqing stuck out his tongue: "It's so old, I really can't see it." ”

When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I met two little girls who were about to go up the mountain with lions.

"Daddy," "Godfather," "It's time to eat." The two little girls shouted together.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "I just came down from the mountain, and I was ready to go home for dinner." ”

"Stand hand in hand and take a picture of the two of you." Zhang Xiaoqing handed the basket in his hand to Zhang Taiping, picked up the camera and said.

The two little girls stood hand in hand under the shade of the tree, and the camera recorded it with the tree behind them. Zhang Taiping went over and looked, whether it was Yaya or every day, they were very photogenic, and they looked even more cute when they stood together, and there was a huge dog squatting next to him, opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue, looking naïve.

Zhang Xiaoqing said: "This is the best photo I took today. Then he made the two little girls do some cute movements.

After taking the photo, Zhang Taiping asked, "Have the bride and groom finished taking pictures?" ”

Yaya replied: "Not yet, but they don't shoot now, they are all in our backyard, saying that they will shoot in the afternoon after eating and resting for a while." ”

Lunch is lazy and numb. The so-called "lazy" refers to rolling the dough into a half-centimeter thickness and cutting it with a knife into a diamond shape the size of a hemp seed. This rice is simple to make, and it is suitable for making this kind of large pot rice with many people. Stir-frying some stews and pouring them into it is also a novelty for these girls and boys in the city.

There were many people, and when eating, Zhang Taiping brought out two tables of eight immortals and placed them under the laurel tree in the middle courtyard.

Zhang Xiaoqing said that she hadn't gone to the backyard yet, so she volunteered to go to the backyard and ask those people to come to the front for dinner, but she lost herself when she called someone, and everyone else came over but didn't see her for a long time.

Zhang Taiping asked, "Why don't you see Zhang Xiaoqing?" ”

Gao Liwei replied with a smile: "She went into the backyard and was fascinated, she was an occupational criminal, and now where is the license." ”

Ye Ling, who was next to him, was about to call when Zhang Xiaoqing came back by himself, looking at the photos taken in the camera while walking.

After seeing Zhang Taiping, he immediately said in surprise: "This backyard is really like a paradise in a book, and there are even watermelons growing in the air." ”

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said, "The watermelon is no different from the watermelon growing on the ground, it's just that the vines are drawn into the air with a shelf." ”

"And that gourd." Zhang Xiaoqing continued, "When the time comes, I will be given one to fill water or wine, pinned around my waist, just like the wine fairy in "Fairy Sword". ”

"Hehe, I'll give you one if I send you one." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.

A group of young people sat at almost two tables, and Zhang Taiping did not sit with them, but squatted under the eaves of the front yard with a bowl and a pot helmet in his hand.

After a while, Zhang Xiaoqing also came out with a bowl, and saw a bench next to him squatting instead of sitting, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Why don't you sit on the bench?" ”

Zhang Taiping asked, "You're not from Shaanxi, are you?" ”

Zhang Xiaoqing shook his head: "No, how do you know?" ”

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "Most Shaanxi people have a habit, that is, squatting to eat, and not sitting on a bench, which is known as one of the eight monsters in Shaanxi, and Shaanxi people know that they don't have much." ”

"The Eight Monsters of Shaanxi?" Zhang Xiaoqing became interested, "Tell me what you have." He didn't sit on the bench, but sat under the eaves with a bowl like Zhang Taiping.

It is worth mentioning that although it is now often called the "Eight Monsters of Shaanxi", this is not entirely reasonable. In fact, the customs in the "Eight Monsters of Shaanxi" only appear in the Guanzhong area, and this is not the case in most parts of Shaanxi.

Therefore, the people in Guanzhong themselves are not the "Eight Monsters of Shaanxi", but the "Eight Monsters of the Audience".

The "Eight Monsters of Guanzhong" refers to the eight peculiar customs and habits that appeared in the Guanzhong region of Shaanxi Province (roughly including Xi'an, Xianyang, Weinan, Baoji, Tongchuan, north of the Qinling Mountains, and south of the Loess Plateau). Due to the influence of climate, economy, culture and other reasons, the Guanzhong region has formed some unique ways in terms of clothing, food, housing, transportation, and east. The Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province, which has a rich historical and cultural accumulation, follows the history and folk customs, and forms a vivid and interesting "Eight Monsters", which has become a hot spot for foreign tourists to explore with its unique charm of "ancient style and ancient Chang'an".

As every remnant of the Three Qin Dynasty, he has a sense of pride in the folk customs left over from ancient Chang'an, and Zhang Taiping is naturally no exception, and he began to introduce it in a radiant manner under Zhang Xiaoqing's eager eyes.

One strange - the bench does not sit and squat: because squatting is more convenient than sitting. Because the Guanzhong area is mainly based on agriculture, there are more busy agricultural seasons, so everyone will unconsciously squat on the ground when they take time to rest, thus forming a unique habit, so rural people generally do not sit on the bench, even if there is a bench, they will squat on it.

"Is that what you and I look like now?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "That's it, but this usually only appears in the countryside, and it is estimated that there is no more in Xi'an Cheng now." ”

Two strange - half of the house cover: the main Guanzhong people pay more attention to feng shui, thinking that "fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", even if it rains, the rainwater should flow into their own yards, the second is for the convenience of lighting, and the third is that the local farmers in Guanzhong prefer to "visit the door" (that is, the neighbors often walk around and gossip), in order not to let the neighbors see their own items and build like this.

Zhang Xiaoqing stood up and looked at the formula behind him and said, "This recipe is not." ”

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Not all recipes are like that, you take a look at the side again, and the wings on both sides are half covered." ”

"Sure enough." Zhang Xiaoqing went to the side to take a look, and when he came back, he squatted next to Zhang Taiping.

Three Strange - The girl is not external: Guanzhong area marrying is about "knowing the roots", the old custom believes that their daughters will be bullied if they marry outside, and the daughter-in-law outside is afraid of losing when they marry at home, so under normal circumstances, girls do not marry outside, and basically marry within the county, or at the village level, which is also related to the doll relatives at that time.

"Brother Zhang, is this the case?"

Zhang Taiping smiled and nodded: "Yes, and I also ordered a doll, your sister Cai's original home is the opposite room." ”

"Doll kiss?" Zhang Xiaoqing asked in surprise: "Then you accept it?" Don't we all advocate free love now? ”

"Not all doll relatives are tragic, and there are also two lovers. And now although it's the 21st century, I still rely on matchmaking to find a partner in the mountain village, and it's a lucky thing to be with someone who knows the bottom line and still likes it. ”

"That's right, as far as I know, marriages in the countryside don't seem to have a chance to fall in love freely, but there are almost no divorces, and most couples, whether good or bad, can live together for the rest of their lives." Zhang Xiaoqing also said.

Four Monsters - Papa Wears on the Head: Wearing a handkerchief in summer, in order to facilitate farming, wearing a handkerchief in winter is mainly to keep warm, women in Guanzhong area do not have the habit of wearing hats, and the second is because of Guanzhong, especially in Shaanxi Wugong, Qianxian, Xingping, Yangling and other areas There is still a habit of giving a handkerchief to the uncle when getting married.

"I've seen this, when I go to some rural areas, I can see some elderly grandmothers wearing handkerchiefs, I wondered what this means before, but I didn't expect it to be one of the eight monsters."

Zhang Taiping had finished eating, put the bowl on the stool next to him and said: "The people who maintain this custom are basically very old people, and young people will do this. At that time, not only women wore handkerchiefs on their heads, but men sometimes carried a towel on their heads, but this seems to be not inferior to the exclusive Guanzhong in Shaanxi. ”

"Indeed, indeed."

Five Monsters - Noodles Like Belts: There are many kinds of noodles in the Guanzhong area, and Guanzhong is bold, and loves to eat wide noodles and thick noodles. Most noodles are thicker and wider, but they are actually slightly thinner than the belt.

"Is it a trouser belt noodle?" Zhang Xiaoqing only cared about listening to Zhang Taiping, half a bowl of rice or half a bowl of rice.

"Hmm." Zhang Taiping nodded: "It's the trouser belt noodles." ”

"I ate this near the school in the city, and there were a lot of people who ate it, and I only ate it in a line. It is to give a bowl of juice, and then put two feet of noodles like a belt in a basin and dip it to eat. It's delicious! ”

Zhang Taiping said: "There is still a certain difference between the trouser belt noodles made by authentic Guanzhong people and the trouser belt noodles that are usually eaten by people in the city. The width of a noodle can reach two or three inches, and the length is about 1 meter, which is about the same as a coin when thick, but like a cicada's wing when thin. One noodle is enough for one meal, while for Guanzhong people with a large amount of food, one meal can eat two. The kind inside has to eat seven or eight bars to be full. ”

"Seven or eight?" Zhang Xiaoqing showed a scared expression: "When my classmates and I go to eat, we are usually full with two, but when we are really hungry, we are three." ”

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Naturally, you can't eat so much, I'm talking about the amount of food for laborers in rural areas." ”

"Then biangbiang (this word can't be typed, so I have to use pinyin instead) is the face considered to be one of the eight monsters?" Zhang Xiaoqing asked again.

"What is usually referred to as a trouser noodle is a biangbiang noodle is a trouser noodle."

Six Monsters - Pot Helmet Like Pot Lid: Because Guanzhong people like to use straw to cook on fire, and the fire of straw is just right, it is more "literary", and it is not easy to burn the food in the pot, and they like to cook and eat together with a large family to avoid waste, so the basic caliber of the pot used is more than 80 cm, and the pot helmet is naturally as big as the pot lid.

Zhang Xiaoqing put the bowl on the stool, gestured the size of eighty centimeters with his hand, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, how long will it take to eat such a big one?" ”

"The family won't last long." Zhang Taiping said, "Guanzhong people have always liked to eat pot helmets, and such a big pot helmet was eaten in one day." ”

"What you just ate was a pot helmet?"

"Yes!" Zhang Taiping nodded: "Generally speaking, in addition to eating sticky noodles, eating other meals, especially rice with soup like today, will add one or two pot helmets, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable if you are not full." ”

Zhang Xiaoqing has a new question: "What is sticky noodles?" ”

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and replied: "It's almost like the oily noodles you eat in a restaurant, but there is not so much oil, just a little oil on it." When people in the village eat it, it's a big old bowl, like mine. As he spoke, he pointed to the old bowl on the stool, and said, "Some people have a lot of food and think that the old bowl is small, so they directly serve the basin." ”

Zhang Xiaoqing shrunk his neck: "The old bowl is still small?" If you eat with the bowls in the restaurant, you will probably have to eat more than a dozen bowls. "The bowl in the restaurant is about the size of a fist.

Seven Monsters - Oil and Spicy Seeds are a Dish: Shaanxi Guanzhong Region likes to eat chili peppers, which is no less powerful than the love of Sichuan Chengdu people for spicy seeds.

"Spicy is a dish, how to make it?"

"Have you ever seen a bowl of spicy food in the house?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xiaoqing picked up his rice bowl and said, "Look, I also put some spicy seeds in it." ”

Zhang Taiping continued: "Here in our Guanzhong, at any time, we will directly take a pot helmet and pour spicy seeds with oil in the bowl, and then lightly sprinkle a layer of salt on it, which is very refreshing to eat. ”

"It's cool." Zhang Xiaoqing swallowed: "It sounds very bold. ”

"Would you like to try it later?" Zhang Taiping asked jokingly.

"I'll forget it." Zhang Xiaoqing hurriedly shook his head: "I don't eat spicy food very well, I belong to the dispensable kind, if you treat spicy food as a dish like you said, you have to be spicy to death." ”

Eight Monsters - Bowls and pots are inseparable: Shaanxi often eats noodles, so the bowl is as big as a basin, and sometimes it is simply a pot.

Zhang Xiaoqing looked at the old bowl that Zhang Taiping put on the bench, this bowl is indeed not small, and if it is placed in the city, it will be a small basin.

"There is also a 'Qin Dialect roaring', sometimes it will also become one of the eight monsters, and replace it with the last of the eight items I just told you."

"Qin Yanxi, I know this." Zhang Xiaoqing said a large number of "Qin dialect originated from the ancient Shaanxi, Gansu area of folk songs and dances, in ancient China's political, economic, cultural center Chang'an grew up, through the creation of generations of people and gradually formed, because since the Zhou Dynasty, the Guanzhong area is called "Qin", Qin dialect is named after this, is quite an ancient drama. Because of the jujube wood bangzi as the percussion instrument, it is also called "bangzi cavity", and because of the "trance" sound when hitting the knot, it is commonly known as "the hammer"

Zhang Taiping was surprised and asked, "Do you have research on this?" ”

"No, my family is in Gansu, and the old man in the family likes Qin opera very much, although he can't sing under the influence of his big voice since he was a child, he knows a little bit about the origin of Qin language." Zhang Xiaoqing said with a grin.

Zhang Taiping nodded and asked with a smile: "This is the Eight Great Monsters of Shaanxi, how do you feel?" ”

"It's weird indeed." Zhang Xiaoqing nodded.

Zhang Taiping continued: "These monsters are all for a reason, they are based on the customs and culture that have been precipitated over the years, and each of them has its historical roots and allusions. ”

Zhang Xiaoqing's eyes lit up: "Talk about it, talk about it." ”

"I won't talk about it, these materials are available on the Internet, if you are interested, you can check it on the Internet." Zhang Taiping stood up and took the bowl and prepared to enter the house to serve another bowl.

"It's boring to watch on the Internet, how boring! It's still not interesting to hear people say it. ”

Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when you have time in the future, you better finish the meal first, it's already cold." ”

Zhang Xiaoqing looked at his still half bowl of rice and said, "Okay." ”

After Zhang Taiping went in, he added a bowl of lazy hemp food seeds and a pot helmet.

"Hey, this is the pot helmet?" Zhang Xiaoqing pointed to the pot helmet in Zhang Taiping's hand and asked.

"Sort of." Zhang Taiping looked at the pot helmet in his hand and said, "This is not an authentic pot helmet, now there is an electric baking pan in the house, generally the above picture is convenient, it will be branded with an electric baking pan, the size is only the size of a plate, and it is only a finger thin." Including the pot helmets sold in many places now are not authentic, authentic pot helmets can only be burned with cooking cauldrons, and there will be hard crust with oil flowers on both sides after they come out. ”

"Is that a fake pot helmet branded with an electric baking pan, or is it authentic and delicious?"

"It depends on whether it's just baked out or cooled." Mrs. Zhang replied, "If you just take it out, it will naturally be authentic and delicious, but if it is cooled, it will be delicious with an electric baking pan." Because the authentic pot helmet will become porcelain after the volume, plus the thickness of more than an inch, it is inconvenient to bite. ”

"It's been a great day to learn."

Zhang Taiping was a little strange: "You also go to school in Xi'an, haven't you heard your classmates talk about it?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Xiaoqing shook his head, "No, I'm surrounded by people who talk about where to travel and what photos they took, and they have never heard of these things." ”

Zhang Taiping was a little speechless, and then sighed a little, this is part of the essence of Chinese, and most of the people in the city now do not know. It's not heartache, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that people forget or even abandon the vulgar culture.

Zhang Xiaoqing put down the bowl after eating and said, "I ate too much today, and I can only eat this bowl when I am at school." After saying that, he patted his stomach with his hand in embarrassment.

"Today, I went up and down the mountain and helped plant flowers in the middle of the morning, so it's normal to eat more." Zhang Taiping smiled lightly and said.

Zhang Xiaoqing entered the house and took the camera out of the house and said, "I'll put the bag here first, and I'll pick it up when I leave." ”

"Whatever you want," Zhang Taiping nodded and asked, "Just eaten, don't you rest for a while?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Xiaoqing shook his braid and said, "They don't have much work left in the afternoon, I still have a lot of things to do, not only to go to the hot springs to shoot, but also to go to the village to take a picture, so I can't rest at noon." ”

"Well, then you wait a minute." After Zhang Taiping finished speaking, he summoned Ye Ling out of the room and asked her to be a little guide.

After the figures of the two disappeared into the trees, Zhang Taiping's eyes were still a little stunned, from this girl with big braids and two dimples that could make people feel better, he saw the shadow of another person.

Familiar scenes pass through my mind, like yesterday, and like another world!

Lying on the rattan chair under the big banyan tree by the pool, he sighed softly, I don't know if everything was okay with the former person?

ps: This chapter is not written to have some feelings, it is done in one go, so it is not disconnected from the middle, and the two are sent together. I hope to support a lot, there are a lot of flowers, and the flowers of the one in front of me have exploded!
