20. There is another task

At sunset,

Jiang Mei, Master Lu, Sanniuzi and Da Hei and the flock, came down the mountain,

At this time, Jiang Mei's mobile phone rang,

Jiang Mei picked up the phone:

"Hey, Officer Huang, hello."

"I'm fine, how about you?"

"The house is going well, by the way, we have set the second day of the second month of February, and we want to invite you to participate in the beam ceremony."

"Welcome, okay, then we'll see you on Saturday."

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Mei calculated silently in his heart,

A table of eight people, eight mouths to eight hundred yuan,

Two tables of sixteen people, sixteen mouths for 1,600 yuan,

Three tables for twenty-four people......

"Brother, what are you counting?"

"Master Lu, Baitiao has to give you one more~"

Master Lu: "I'm used to it." ”

Master Lu: "Say, what's the task?" ”

Jiang Mei: "Officer Huang said that he would bring an old artist to collect wind on Saturday, who is a famous photographer in the country. The accompanying people include friends, assistants, city leaders, family members of leaders, Huang Officer's family, plus drivers, at least about 15 people.

When the time comes, you will also participate in our Shangliang Festival and watch the traditional customs.

Director Huang suggested that since the traditional ceremony should be displayed, it must be well publicized and the scale and level of the event must be carried out.

Therefore, we have to add to the banquet we budgeted before. ”

Three cows, counting with their fingers,

"It turns out that the old branch secretary, Officer Xing, Officer Lan, stupid roe deer, let's have a banquet, one table is enough.

Now there are, the old branch secretary, Officer Xing, Officer Lan, the stupid roe deer, the old artist, the artist's old friend, the assistant, the leader, the family, let's ......"

I can't break my fingers.

Jiang Mei: "It's fun to have friends from afar." Everyone comes to cheer us on, and we have to entertain well. ”

Sanniuzi: "In the past, no one ever came to the house as a guest, but now, it's good that so many people come." ”

Master Lu: "Can the grand scene of Shangliang that grandpa and dad said be reproduced?" Great! ”

"So... Let's do it! ”

Xiao Ding: "Such a lively thing, you must join in the fun~"

Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong,

Three messages rang in a row,

Every time Jiang has experience, he took out his mobile phone as soon as possible,

"Shanhai shopping mall Shenmu Ju big promotion, five billion years of Fusang wood give back, suitable for the production of beams, the production of beams, the production of beams! What are you waiting for, come and grab it. ”

Jiang Mei: "It's a pity that there is no money." ”

"Shenmu Ju big promotion, five billion years of Fusang wood, don't want money ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, as long as the merit is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, it is better to take action, don't miss it, come and buy it!"

Jiang Mei: "The bank's current slogan is so down-to-earth? ”

"Complete the Shenmuju release task, and you can get 100,000 merits. Do you accept the assignment? Failure to reply within one second is considered consent. ”

Jiang Mei: "I knew I was going to come to this set, wait a minute, 1 second?" Where are the reply messages? ”

Jiang Mei: "#*^_] ̅|"

Jiang Mei: "Okay... Accept. ”

Ding Dong, "Dear customer, you have accepted the 'Bear Child's Troubles', and after completion, you will receive a five-billion-year-old hibiscus wood, I wish you success." ”

Remembering the last unreliable "blessing of the mountain god",

Jiang Mei: "Heheda." ”

Stuff your phone back in your pocket, and think about the Shangliang Festival first.

The Land Festival, the Shangliang Festival, and the Limen Festival are the three major traditional rituals for building houses.

Beams are the spanning members of a house that are erected on top of columns, and it is traditionally believed that a smooth upper beam ensures that the house is strong and strong, and the occupants are happy and prosperous.

Therefore, in ancient times, when people built houses with beams, they would make sacrifices and pray for blessings from the gods. This is the origin of the Shangliang Festival.

In modern society, houses are made of reinforced concrete, and there are fewer and fewer beams made of wood, and the ritual of the beam sacrifice has been simplified or even completely disappeared.

The construction of Shennong Hut adheres to the architectural concept of circular ecology, the combination of modern architecture and traditional building technology, and the use of modern building materials in terms of building materials, as well as the use of wood according to local conditions.

Liang Mu chose elm, which was selected by Master Lu personally in the building materials market.

When the beam is sacrificed, firecrackers, four major offerings, incense candles, fruits, etc., are also needed, and these are all purchased one by one.

The most important thing is the feast,

Shennong Mountain is located in the Central Plains, and the local traditional banquet water banquet has been famous for a long time.

8 cold, 4 large, 4 medium and 4 pressure, a total of 24 dishes, hot and cold, meat and vegetarian, sweet, salty, sour and spicy are all exquisite. Even the order in which the dishes are served is not wrong at all.

Of course, there is no shortage of water system signboards in the city's hotels, but if you want to eat the most authentic water seats, you have to be in the people.

The cooking process of the water mat is complex and cumbersome, and the dishes and soup flow are exquisite, which requires the master in charge to spend time and effort.

Moreover, in today's society, weddings and funerals are trying to save trouble, and there are more and more people who go to restaurants, and fewer and fewer people ask for things at home.

So nowadays, there are fewer and fewer masters who can make water mats. ”

Where can I find a master who can make an authentic water mat?

Master Lu: "Actually, I know a..."

Jiang Mei: "Great. ”

Master Lu: "The old man has already sealed the spoon, I don't know if he is willing to go out of the mountain." ”

"The old man is my grandfather's old friend, but also a veteran craftsman passed down from generation to generation, the folk banquet business is becoming more and more depressed, thirty years ago, his son has no future, went to the provincial capital to work hard, the old man insisted on it alone for more than ten years, but people are willing to go to the big hotel for weddings and funerals, and it is grand and convenient, no one asks the spoon master to make a banquet anymore, the old man is finally disheartened, and sealed the spoon ten years ago."

Hearing this, Jiang Mei couldn't help but sigh for the declining traditional craftsmanship.

"If you want to present an authentic Shangliang Festival, you have to open an authentic water mat, and you have to invite the old man out of the mountain!"

After discussion, the three of them decided,

In the past few days, Master Lu and Sanniuzi have worked hard to complete the remaining works needed before the beam.

Jiang Mei personally went to invite the old man Hai out of the mountain.

Without further ado, without further ado,

Jiang Mei got on the country bus and set off.

Nanzhen Village Bus Station, only one bus No. 85, first to the county seat, and then transfer, to Shangao County.

The happy little minibus is on the country road, speeding happily.

Jiang Mei's ass has not been seated much all the way.

Finally, the bus arrived.

In the county bus station, under a small poplar tree, a young man is fragile and holding on to the tree.

The driver held the tea jar and paced over.

"Young man, your body is not good~"

Jiang Mei held back the churning in his chest and asked, "Master, where is the car to Shangao County?" ”

"Are you going to Shangao County, going to visit relatives?"

"Go visit an elder."

"Young people's speech is gentle, good. You're a college student, right? ”

"I've graduated."

"What are you studying?"

"Paleographic Literature."

"Ancient characters, then I know, it's a tablet unearthed in the tomb or something, you take care of the translation."

"Uh... Pretty much. Master, go to Shangao County to take that car? ”

"Well, that's it, the last one at six o'clock."

Seeing that, the Zhongba was already on fire.

Jiang didn't care about motion sickness, and hurriedly ran towards the minibus.

"Don't worry, young man, you can catch up."

Jiang Mei finally grabbed the door before the car started, and when he stepped into the carriage with one foot, the bus had already moved out. "Hurry up~Hurry up~Go back~"

Jiang jumped on the bus and sat down in his seat panting.

Outside the car window, the driver's master shouted haughtily:

"I'll just say I can catch up!

Lao Zheng, open well, greet good little brother. ”

Honk~

A loud whistle responded,

"Please!"

The driver's eldest brother kicked the accelerator,

As a result, Jiang Mei felt an unparalleled feeling of pushing his back on the ordinary bus.

The phone vibrates in the pocket non-stop,

Jiang every time he struggled down from the backrest,

Pull out your phone,

Open it and take a look,

Jiang Mei clenched his fists,

Oops~

He was blown upside down and hit his head on the overhead luggage rack.

Outside the window, the mountain road is winding, bent into a "zigzag" for a while, and bent into a "few" for a while.

There is an aunt sitting next to her, with a five- or six-year-old grandson, and a cheerful nursery rhyme on the elderly mobile phone:

"Just climbed a few mountains, hey!

A few more rivers crossed, hey!

Rugged and bumpy, why is he so much! ”

Jiang Mei's ass rises and falls with the music......

The big brother next door played an earth-shattering folk song:

The mountain road here has eighteen bends,

The waterways here are nine links,

Yo ~ Yo Yo!

The mountain road here has eighteen bends~

It's more dangerous to go to your mountain, the water is more evil, I've encountered difficulties, and I've suffered hardship~

Bent out of the Tujia people's jewelry beach~

Walk out of a wide and wide avenue ~ Yo Yo ~ In the rhythm of undulating jumps, Jiang Mei firmly grasped the seat belt on his chest.
