The old people's palace of Dakang Village is at the entrance of the village, facing the road at the entrance of the village, because of the economic conditions of Dakang Village, the office of the village committee is also in the old people's palace.

On weekdays, the old people's palace is mainly for the activities of the elderly, playing cards, mahjong and chess, which is also the only public activity place in Dakang Village before the completion of the village entrance garden.

Today's old people's palace is much more lively than usual, even more lively than when the village sings a big opera once a few years.

On the wall at the entrance of the old people's palace, some ribbons and some festive things are hung, and there are many couplet banners.

Most of the people in the village have taken leave and did not go to work today, and the gate of the old people's palace is full of people, and from time to time I see someone helping the old man to go inside. It's been a long time since the village has been so festive, and in addition to the elderly, many villagers have come here to join in the fun.

The people in the village have heard that today not only held a 100-year-old banquet, gave out red envelopes, but also invited a very good troupe, so it is indispensable that people from neighboring villages come to watch the play.

"Shanzi is here!"

"Shanzi."

"Here we go."

When Wang Leshan arrived at the gate of the Old People's Palace, everyone he saw greeted Wang Leshan with a smile on his face. Shanzi also responded with a smile and walked in.

"This is that Wang Leshan, right?"

"Tsk, so young! I thought it was pretty big! ”

"Of course I'm young, I'm just 20 years old today, and I'm not old enough to marry a wife. I've heard that there are still a few of us in this Dakang Village, but there are many people who want to be a matchmaker for him! ”

"I've heard, this little doll took out a million to rent the wasteland at the foot of Dakang Mountain, how can she be so rich when she is so young?"

"I guess you haven't heard how much the vegetables grown on his farm are sold for, corn and potatoes are sold for more than a dozen yuan, but they are more expensive than meat. But there are still people rushing to buy it! Can it not make money? ”

"Yes, I heard that the income of the village committee of Dakang Village today is all dependent on him alone. Also, he built this and repaired that on his farm, and the people in the village had work every day, 150 a day. Sometimes it's 200, and I still eat big fish and meat and these sky-high corn and potatoes every day. ”

"What is this! I've heard that the bosses who go to the farm to buy goods scatter cigarettes to the people who help out there, and the scattered ones are soft Chinese, and they are scattered in packets! If nothing else, just this smoke, think about it, tsk tsk......"

"I've heard about it. This Wang Leshan has a very good relationship with the leaders of the town and even the city! It looks like the mayor is coming today. ”

"Do you think this is the manifestation of the dragon god on the mountain of Dakang Mountain? With such a young man, he didn't talk about making money by himself, but he also wanted to help the people in the village make money! Why can't our village produce such talents! ”

"Talent? This is a talent, this is the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth! With this God of Wealth, Dakang Village is really going to send it this time! ”

……

The villagers of Dakang Village inside and outside the Old People's Palace, listening to the words of those who came from neighboring villages to watch the big show, all grinned at the back of their heads. Straighten your waist and raise your eyebrows!

How many years. The villagers of Dakang Village don't have this kind of enjoyment!

Wang Leshan walked into the old people's palace, and it was obviously cleaned up, and even some places were slightly renovated. It has been more than 20 years since the old man's palace was built, and there are a lot of couplets in it, which are no longer very clear, but now I have re-made some of them. You can read the words clearly.

When he was a child, Wang Leshan was always wondering what those blurred words were, but now he can finally see them clearly, especially the couplet on the front of the stage.

"God is man, demons are man, and man is man. One or two people are ever-changing."

"The car is also walking, the soldiers are also walking, walking is also walking, three or five steps are all over the world"

Ten tables have been set up in front of the stage under the stage, some cold dishes have been placed on the table, and there are already many old people seated on the side.

The elderly invited to this Chung Yeung Festival are all 60 years old and above, and there are about 100 people in Dakang Village at this age, and there are more than 90 people who can go out with the help of their families, just enough to sit at 10 tables.

The chef in charge of this 100-year-old banquet is, of course, Fan Mingwei, and his deputy is Zhu Dandi. Zhu Dandi originally agreed when he heard Wang Leshan's words, but when he came, he was even more shocked when he saw Fan Mingwei, the goods of Dandi's restaurant have always been distributed from the farm, so Zhu Dandi has never seen Fan Mingwei. Not to mention asking him to be a deputy to the industry's master idols, even if it is to wash the dishes, he is willing.

In addition to these two people, there are also a few restaurant owners in the town, who don't know where they heard the news, came to buy the goods early this morning, and then used the excuse that there was nothing to do today, and followed Fan Mingwei to help. This saved a lot of things, and some women washed and served vegetables, and the matter of the 100-year-old banquet was decided.

The makeshift open-air kitchen was at the side gate of the old man's palace, and many people who came in and out, from the village or neighboring villages, recognized the chefs who worked there, and they almost didn't drop their jaws.

Zhu Dandi and those restaurant owners are all characters in the town, and it is enough to be able to invite the centennial banquet in charge of the village together, but I didn't expect that these bosses came over to just start the game, and the real chef is someone else.

Some villagers who have heard of Fan Mingwei's name, but they are very energetic and people who don't know each other in the neighboring village gave a thumbs up and said that this is a chef who is famous in the Yangtze River Delta, and he originally worked as a chef in the Sunshine Hotel in the city. I don't know where I heard it, but I told Fan Mingwei's glorious deeds on the 18th floor of the Sunshine Hotel, what a table of 5888, it was very vivid, and the people in the neighboring villages were staggering, and the more they were frightened and envious, the more the villagers said it!

"Shanzi is here."

A group of people came to Wang Leshan, including the village chief Wang Dabao and several village cadres, as well as the town mayor Lin Xiaohu, and a few middle-aged people who Wang Leshan didn't know, all of whom greeted people with smiling faces.

"Uncle Dabao, Mayor Lin, hello everyone."

Wang Leshan greeted everyone politely, and privately called Lin Xiaohu Brother Tiger, but on occasions like this, of course, he still respectfully addressed the mayor of the town, and said with a smile: "There are some things on the farm, it's too late." ”

"Just right."

Wang Dabao smiled and introduced Wang Leshan to a few people standing next to Lin Xiaohu, a few of them were the owners of the town, section chiefs or something, and a few were the village chiefs of several villages in the town.

Then I talked to Wang Leshan about the activity process before the play, and I still wanted Wang Leshan to speak. After Wang Leshan heard this, he immediately waved his hand and begged for mercy. Seeing this, Wang Dabao didn't want to insist on it, so he handed over another "task" to Wang Leshan, that is, to send money to the old people on behalf of the village.

After a while, the old people were invited by the villagers or their families to take their seats, and those from the neighboring villages who came to watch the play either sat on the rows of benches behind the ten tables, or stood on either side. There are already a lot of people in the old people's palace, and they are sitting and standing, and they are full.

The gong and drum class on the stage was in place, and after a smooth and festive gong and drum, Wang Dabao, the village chief who had already been prepared, walked out of the "general" side with a microphone.

"Hello folks!"

Wang Dabao usually shouts in the loudspeaker in the village, but it is the first time to speak to so many people on stage, and there are so many people from neighboring villages, as well as the leaders of the town, I thought it was nothing, but as soon as he came to the stage, he was obviously a little nervous.

However, the leader choked and coughed a few words, but calmed down.

After a call, it is roughly to thank the old people for coming, thank the villagers from the neighboring villages for coming, thank the leaders of the town for coming, and then talk about the major and happy events that happened in the village this year, and praise Wang Leshan, and then I wish the old people a happy Double Ninth Festival, health and longevity.

"Today, I am very fortunate that the mayor of our Sanhe Town has also come to our village, and now, we welcome Mayor Lin Xiaohu to speak."

Wang Dabao invited Mayor Lin and handed him the microphone.

Lin Xiaohu took the microphone and said with a smile: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, it is the Old Man's Day, I am very happy to be able to come to Dakang Village to participate in this Double Ninth Festival activity." Respecting and loving the elderly is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation and a major event. As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, there are so many old people in Dakang Village, that is, there is a treasure mountain! On behalf of the town government, as well as myself, I wish you all a long and healthy life! ”

After that, he handed the microphone back to Wang Dabao.

Wang Dabao took the microphone, habitually coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Originally, the next paragraph was to be said by Wang Leshan Shanzi, a young talent in our village, but Shanzi was embarrassed to come to the stage. ”

The audience laughed kindly together and gave warm applause to Wang Leshan in the audience. Wang Leshan smiled and waved his hand at the big guy, and Wang Dacheng and Hong Ximei, who were beside Wang Leshan, were full of smiles.

After Wang Dabao waited for the applause to stop, he said: "Then I will say it for Shanzi, old people, eat and drink well!" 100-year-old banquet, open! ”

The people who had already prepared from the side door walked in with trays one by one, this is the first dish, it is rice noodles made from Linggu, Fan Mingwei strictly follows the eating habits of the elderly to cook longevity "noodles", named "longevity without borders", one end came in, and the aroma was overflowing.

At this time, Wang Dabao also stepped off the stage, and the gong and drum class also beat and started the play!

Today's first play is called "Full Bed", which is about the 60th birthday of the famous general Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty, when the seven sons and eight sons-in-law all came to pay their respects. It is a metaphor for the prosperity of the family, wealth and filial piety, but it is also very appropriate.

After the first play, there is also the "original", called "Magu Birthday Celebration", and the "Champion Seal" and "Pan Tao Club" to be sung in the evening are all related to birthday celebrations.

This time, the troupe invited to sing for three days, the first day was all for good luck, and the next two days will perform some songs that everyone likes to see. (To be continued......)
