"If you talk about the custom of heavy nine, the years are not too long." Mr. Unknown took a sip of chrysanthemum wine, "If you talk about the source, it should be the thing that Wu Shuzhen of the Southern Dynasty recorded in the "Continuation of Qi Harmonic Records", which is only more than 500 years ago. ”

"Teacher, what is written in the book?" Lan Yi came out with a plate of cold wild vegetables and asked curiously.

"The book is uploaded, and Huanjing, a native of Runan, has been learning the Tao with Fei Changfang for many years. One day, Fei Changfang said to Huan Jing, on the ninth day of September, there will be a catastrophe in your family, and the solution is to make the family members make their own bags, full of dogwood, to tie their arms, climb high and drink chrysanthemum wine, this disaster can be removed. On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, Huan Jing took the whole family to act according to Fei Changfang's words, and when he returned at night, he saw that chickens, dogs, cows and sheep all died violently. Mr. Nameless explained in detail.

It turned out that this was the case, Lan Yi nodded again and again, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Teacher, are there any other stories recorded in the book?" ”

"There are quite a few, this book has been less circulated in the community, and I received one for the teacher, but I didn't bring it over." Mr. Nameless looked at the disappointment in the little apprentice's eyes and smiled slightly, "It's just a little story, most of them have you heard, such as Ze lives here today, let him tell you another day." ”

Lei Tianze, who was sitting next to him, nodded in response, "I read it when my brother was young, but I can tell a few stories for my fourth sister to relieve boredom." ”

Lan Yi responded with a smile, "Then there is Third Brother Lao, I'll go and bring out the Chongyang cake in the pot." ”

After that, she pulled Zhou Weiji's sleeve, "Weiji, Chongyang cake is hot, you can serve it for me, okay?" ”

Zhou Weiji got up and followed Lan Yi into the kitchen, watched her open the lid of the pot, and after the heat dissipated, Lan Yi first used the corner of the chopsticks to cut the chongyang cake, and handed it to Zhou Weiji's mouth with chopsticks. "Can you try it?"

Chongyang cake is a flower cake made of red dates and chestnuts sandwiched with noodles, which looks very beautiful. Zhou Weiji took a bite of the chopsticks and nodded.

"Then you can help me bring this layer down."

Zhou Wei Ji went down to the cage drawer, and the second layer was also a big chongyang cake, Lan Yi cut another corner and gave Zhou Wei Ji a taste.

"This is a meatloaf?" Zhou Weiji took a big bite, "For example, that date is delicious." ”

"I know you love meatloaf!" Lan Yi cut the chongyang cake neatly and put two large pieces in the basket. Then he cut a thin strip and pointed to the small stool, "Wei Ji." You sit down. ”

Zhou Wei raised his eyebrows, sat on the stool, and looked up at Lan Yi.

Lan Yi held the cut Chongyang cake strip in her hand and solemnly pasted it on Zhou Weiji's broad and full forehead. "May Wei Ji be high."

Zhou Wei was stunned. "Daughter-in-law, are you still so particular?"

"Yes." Lan Yi said seriously, in fact, according to custom, it should be the mother who pasted Chongyang cakes for her children, anyway, they are all good blessings, and she gave Zhou Weiji the same.

Zhou Wei stood up with the heavy yang cake on his head, lowered his head and put the heavy yang cake on her forehead, "I wish my daughter-in-law all the best." ”

It's not all high. It's smooth. Lan Yi smiled warmly, okay. Pepsi went well.

Lan Yi took off the pastry and pointed to the basket, "Let's send the Chongyang cake to Grandpa one by one, and then pack a few steamed crabs and a pot of chrysanthemum wine, what do you think you want to bring?"

Zhou Weiji looked at it, "It's enough to bring a few more pieces of barbecue." ”

"What about the fourth uncle?"

"Bring only chongyang cakes and chrysanthemum bars." Thursday is Zhou Weiji's uncle, and Chongyang cake and chrysanthemum wine are must-send things.

Lan Yi nodded, took out the Chongyang cake and put it on the table in the hall, and smiled at Mr. Nameless, Su Yongshen and Lei Tianze, "Teacher, eldest brother, third brother, you can taste the Chongyang cake I made, and Wei Ji and I will go to deliver pastries to grandpa." ”

Mr. Nameless looked at Lan Yi's basket and nodded.

Su Yongshen asked, "Why don't you invite the old man to come over for barbecue?" ”

Zhou Weiji replied, "Please, grandpa said that the road is slippery and difficult, and it is inconvenient to go out." ”

Lan Yi took an umbrella and walked through the cross door to the kitchen in the west wing of the west courtyard, and couldn't help but smile.

In the kitchen, Yu Bo and Dao Wufeng each guarded a stove, the iron pot on the stove had been removed, and a deer and a sheep were roasted on the firewood, and the aroma of roasted meat made Lan Yi swallow his saliva. At the small table in the kitchen, Yu'er and Wenxuan were munching on the barbecue on skewers with bamboo skewers.

When Yu Bo saw Lan Yi coming in, he smeared the seasoning on the barbecue, sliced a plate of barbecue meat with a few brushes, and handed it to her.

Lan Yi sniffed it and nodded again and again, "Uncle Yu is a good craft!" I'll send them to my mentors. Wu Feng, you can help me cut two more big bags. ”

Zhou Weiji held an umbrella and walked towards the village with Lan Yi, although the autumn rain was annoying, but it was rare to walk in the rain with Zhou Weiji and the two of them, Lan Yi felt very comfortable.

She looked up at Zhou Weiji and asked about the Zhou family, "Weiji, the old house of the Zhou family is the one where the grandfather lives in the middle of the village, right?" ”

Zhou Weiji shook his head, "No." The original old mansion was the east courtyard we bought. When the family was separated, because the uncle's family lived in the city, the grandfather didn't want to move there, so the uncle gave some extra money and helped the second uncle rebuild the courtyard in the village where he lives now, and said that he would let the grandfather care for the elderly in the courtyard. ”

"So that's the case, it's common sense that the old man is reluctant to leave his homeland." The Zhou family is a big family in Beigou Village, and the old man Zhou is the patriarch, and he has a bit of prestige, so it is normal for him to be reluctant to leave here and move to the state city to live with his eldest son.

On Tuesday, the family was also having dinner at this time, and the old man Zhou took the man to eat at the big table in the hall, on which there were two meats, two vegetables, four hot dishes and two cold dishes, and Chongyang cake was also placed on the table.

After the two entered the door, the three brothers Zhou Weikun stood up to say hello, and the youngest Zhou Weiyu quickly got up to move a stool for Zhou Weiji.

Zhou Weiji walked up to Old Man Zhou, "Grandpa, the second son has brought you Chongyang cake." ”

Lan Yi opened Lan Yi, took out two plates of Chongyang Cake, and put it down in front of Old Man Zhou with both hands, "Grandpa, this is my steamed Chongyang Cake, can you still eat it if you taste it?" Second uncle, you can also taste it. ”

Old Man Zhou didn't look at it with calm eyelids, and nodded again and again with a smile, "This is a meat cake, it smells good." ”

Lan Yi nodded, and took out a large piece of roast meat wrapped in lotus leaves and five steamed crabs and placed them on the table, "Grandpa, second uncle, this is freshly roasted venison, it is best to eat it while it is hot." ”

The old man Zhou still didn't move his chopsticks with a cold face, and when he saw that the old man didn't move on Tuesday, he didn't dare to move, and the three brothers of the Zhou family were even more obviously uncomfortable sitting in their seats.

Seeing this, Zhou Weiji took out the chrysanthemum wine in the basket, "You go to the back room, I'll accompany my grandfather to drink two glasses." ”

Lan Yi nodded, thinking to herself where she offended the old man, obviously she looked fine on the day she planted the peony. It's not been a few days, did you do something wrong to provoke the old man?

She looked at the chongyang cake, venison and crab she brought, and then looked at the food on the table, could it be that Old Man Zhou felt that he had bought too many things and would not be able to live? (To be continued.) )
