Chapter 543
Hakka cuisine has long been formed to preserve and continue, in addition, it is also related to the closed traffic environment of the Dongjiang River, and the eastern part of Guangdong is a mountainous area, so it is no wonder that the military camp is stationed here. Along the way, "half a city and half a city and half a lake", the ancients described it really well.
However, due to the mountainous area, the transportation is inconvenient and less affected by the outside world, so that Hakka cuisine has formed itself for a long time, evolved itself and became a family of its own.
"I'll drive!" He Junyao said.
Chang Jiuchun supported his hands and sat in the passenger seat at once, and He Junyao also sat firmly in the driver's seat at the moment he left. It's like performing acrobatics, it's so fast, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them shift.
"Where are we going?" Fang Menan asked curiously.
"Eat authentic Hakka food." He Junyao glanced at the rearview mirror and said.
After driving for about half an hour, I entered the outskirts of the city, because Fang Monan saw that there were already scattered houses on the side of the road. Unlike later generations, due to urbanization between cities, houses built next to each other are all built next to each other, no wonder everyone jokes that we are all suburbs of the capital.
The car got off the road, walked on the dirt road for about twenty minutes, and stopped. Along the way, in addition to enjoying the beautiful mountains and rivers, I also saw some things that I had not seen before, that is, the Hakka people's enclosures, and I had only seen the magnificent round enclosures of the Hakka people in southern Fujian in the past.
Unexpectedly, this is a square walled house in front of me, and it is also a typical Hakka house, Fang Monan and they got out of the car, and observed it closely, the outside is relatively well preserved, with blue bricks and tiles. Living in it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
"This place is good, and the feng shui is good." Fang Menan nodded and said with a smile.
"Oh!" He Junyao raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Monan.
Fang Monan explained, "Look at this Hakka walled house, built on the mountain, in front of it is a semicircular pond, such as a Tai Chi pattern, the land house is yang, and the water in front of the house is yin, taking the meaning of yin and yang. The whole enclosure takes the main hall as the core of the central axis, showing the core position of the ancestral hall building in the Hakka clan concept; The overall layout of Feng Shui. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. That is, it is generally built on a small hillside, with a feng shui pond in front, and from the feng shui pond to the main building, it follows the trend from low to high. Presenting the feng shui direction of "step by step" or "step by step". The above feng shui layout. In fact, they are all specific manifestations of Hakka traditional etiquette, ethical concepts and feng shui customs. ”
"So there are so many Taos in it!" Chang Jiuchun nodded. "Taught."
"And if you want to eat authentic Hakka local dishes, you can still eat Hakka houses, and the ones in the restaurant are all improved." Fang Menan said with a smile.
"Hmmm! I have a comrade-in-arms who lives here. He Junyao said in a deep voice. There was a hint of sadness and sadness in his tone.
Could it be that his comrades-in-arms were sacrificed, Fang Monan didn't ask any more.
The three of them walked inside, it was very quiet, they didn't see a person along the way, and it was a little dilapidated and desolate. There are mottled traces of time on the walls. Old-fashioned walled houses with wooden doors and windows that are not large.
Fang Menan looked at the traces of these years and said with emotion, "We walked through the rows of old houses, greeted us with the clouds and smoke of the years, the mottled brick walls, witnessed the warmth of the old times, the dilapidated doors and windows, and told what kind of nostalgia." The grass had already reached the front of the steps, and the old man's advice seemed to be still audible. The moon of the Qing Dynasty hangs in the sky on one side, illuminating the heart of the wanderer. The wall on that side encloses the roots of the Hakka people, and cannot enclose the nostalgia and attachment. ”
The three of them walked on the road paved with green bricks, and there was a kind of stepping into the long river of time, and the vicissitudes and loneliness of history came to their faces.
Hakka walled houses, as the name suggests, are the main customs and characteristics of the Hakka people's houses, but the names are different in different places: Ganduo is called "Tuweizi", Fujian is called "Tulou", Hakka in northern Guangdong is called "Sijiaolou", and some places in Lingnan are called "Weilong House", and some places are called "Wai Long House", and some places are called "Wai Hu".
The whole enclosure takes the main hall and ancestral hall as the core of the central axis, showing the core position of the ancestral hall building in the Hakka clan concept; The main structure is "three halls, three halls, two compartments and one enclosure", that is, the structure is based on the main hall and ancestral hall in the middle. The main hall is a square structure with three entrances, which is divided into an upper hall, a middle hall and a lower hall (three halls). On the left and right sides of the main hall there are horizontal houses with the same square structure, which are referred to as "horizontal". From the main hall outward, the concentric semi-circular structure of the house expands layer by layer, and each floor is called a "perimeter". The number of floors of the enclosure dragon and the number of rows of the horizontal houses on one side are generally equal, so the architectural pattern of "two halls, two horizontals and one encircling the dragon" is formed.
The appearance of the enclosure house is relatively simple, there is no complicated and elaborate brick carving and other decorations, it is simple and durable, and has raised generations of people.
"Liao Jinkai lives here." Chang Jiuchun suddenly remembered that he was a Hakka, and when he heard the captain mention it, he remembered that Liao Jinkai would cook Hakka food, and the taste still made him remember, which showed how good it was.
"Hmm!" He Junyao nodded.
"I remember, his knees are ......" Before Chang Jiuchun's words fell, he saw an old woman walking opposite, her hair was already silver-white, and she was still carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, which was picking fresh vegetables. Roughly speaking, there are common vegetables such as green peppers, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. When she walked, she didn't tremble at all, and it could be seen that her body was very healthy and tough.
The three of them greeted him, and Chang Jiuchun asked loudly, "Old woman, may I ask, where does Liao Jinkai live?" I am his comrade-in-arms. ”
The old woman stood and raised her eyes to look at the three people in front of her, "You don't have to be so loud, I can still hear the old woman." She paused and continued, "You guys are looking for my Jinkai!" ”
"You're Mother Liao!" Chang Jiuchun asked guessingly.
"Come with me!" Liao's mother turned around and walked inside, Chang Jiuchun reached out to take the bamboo basket in her hand, "Liao's mother, I'll come!" ”
"No, you don't! The old woman can still carry this weight. Liao's mother pushed her hand and declined.
"I know the old man is in good health, but I'd better come!" Chang Jiuchun took the basket in her hand.
"Your young son is really rare, okay, I won't fight with you. Come with me! "The old man is back on the road.
Those who turned left and right, and finally walked to the innermost house. "Jinkai! Here comes your comrades-in-arms. ”
"Grandma! Who do you say is coming. A tall man ran out of the house and left, but in a strange way. He was shirtless in navy blue trousers made of coarse cloth, and he was holding a half-finished bamboo braid, which looked like a hat.
He raised his eyes and saw the three people standing at the door, the 'bang......' hat fell to the ground, and his body just staggered, Chang Jiuchun and He Junyao set him up with an arrow to prevent him from falling.
Fang Monan took the vegetable basket in Chang Jiuchun's hand, she looked at this tall man in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, pale skin, obviously not seeing the sun all year round, covering white.
Liao Jinkai looked to the left excitedly, his lips trembling, "Ajiu! He turned to the right, "Battalion commander, you guys...... You guys...... How did it come. ”
"Please come in, Grandma, they are my comrades-in-arms, and I want us to fight side by side on the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang back then." He said excitedly, "Come in." He shouted into the house, "Cuixia, we've got a guest." ”
He Junyao and Chang Jiuchun carried him into the house together, and a dark and thin middle-aged woman quickly took out a few bamboo chairs and put them in the living room, and turned around and walked out of the living room.
The two sat down slowly with Liao Jinkai on their feet, and Liao Jinkai's right leg was obviously unable to bend, so he poked it straight and straight.
"Jinkai, didn't your leg be cured back then, why is it like this." Chang Jiuchun asked, pointing to his leg. He remembered that when he went to see him in the military hospital, the leg was clearly good.
"Sequelae! He was scratched by a stray bullet, and although he was able to walk after half a year of treatment and recovery, he could not squat, and the minimum angle between his calf and thigh could only reach about 90 degrees. My knees feel numb, and I don't know what's going on! It's normal to look at your knees! Walking is no problem. The movement looks strange when running. You don't have much effort when you go up steep hills. If you go up or down stairs, you can only walk with your right foot at a time. Liao Jinkai said. Fortunately, we have fewer steps here! ”
"I went to the hospital and asked, the doctor, they said that the sequelae could not be cured." Liao Jinkai smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”
Cui Xia and Liao's mother brought three large bowls of tea, and He Junyao and the three of them quickly got up to take it when they saw this.
"Country stuff, don't mind, this tea is picked in the back mountains and fried at home. This water is very sweet from the spring. Liao Jinkai explained anxiously. We usually drink it to moisten our throats, quench our thirst, and prevent heatstroke. ”
"Hmm! Delicious! "Changjiu Chun coo-dong...... I poured most of the bowl.
Fang Mo was drinking tea and looking at the living room, which was simple and clean, with a portrait of Chairman Mao hanging in the center of the wall, and the red sun was written on it. There are no household appliances, if an old-fashioned radio, it counts as an appliance. Overhead is a 30-watt tungsten light bulb. The furniture is all made of bamboo.
"There's mint in there!" Fang Monan sighed. "Good tea!"
"Planted in the yard." Liao Jinkai said.
Chang Jiuchun poured the remaining half bowl of tea, wiped his mouth and said, "You go to the toilet so straight." Chang Jiuchun asked, glaring at his legs. Seeing Liao Jinkai nodding, Chang Jiuchun shook his head and said, "It's really hard for you." ”
"Doctor Fang, can you see Lao Liao's legs, how uncomfortable is this!" Chang Jiuchun put down the medicine box, after the last lesson, he remembered to carry the medicine box on his back at all times.
"It's uncomfortable, it's good to get used to it, but I can't do heavy physical work, I can't help my family farm, and all the burdens fall on the shoulders of Cui Xia and my parents, I'm really ashamed." Liao Jinkai said as he spoke, and the tears flowed down.
"Who said it, it's a blessing that you can come back alive, it's just that one leg is inconvenient! Your hands are not useless. Liao's mother went and returned, "Look at the bamboo weaving on the stone pier at the door, not all of them were made up by you." ”
"Grandma, those are only worth a few dollars, they are all agricultural bamboo weaving, and when they are in the market or the autumn harvest, the nearby villagers buy some, who usually wants it! It doesn't sell for a price. "Liao Jinkai, don't put gold on my face, I know how many pounds and taels I weigh. (To be continued.) )
