Chapter Seventy-Three: The Sowing Ceremony (Seeking Reading, Seeking Collection)

The construction of the military camp is in full swing, and Li Chaolong and Li Chaomeng are quite relieved to see Li Chaosheng, and it will be there in a blink of an eye in three days.

It was a bright morning, the sun was shining on the earth, on the ridges of Li Chaosheng's 1,000 acres of inferior fields, at this time a group of people beat gongs and drums, singing a slightly primitive Qin dialect.

This is a well-known gong and drum team in the county, and generally only red and white ceremonies, New Year's celebrations, and family worship can be invited to come over and have fun.

But today, he was invited by Li Chaosheng for money, and his tenant farmers wanted a sowing ceremony, so he gave them a grand sowing ceremony.

Gongs, drums and firecrackers rang out, and a hundred tenant farmers prepared Quyuan ploughs, some borrowed oxen, some had no cattle, and could only rely on the strong labor of the family to pull them, all of them surrounded the ridges, and there were people from Tanggou Town who watched the excitement around.

At this time, the old patriarch took the five clans to the old town, and Li Chaosheng stood on the platform and said to the tenant farmers: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day for us to start planting, and I hope everyone will unite and help each other and usher in a bumper year together."

"Okay."

The people shouted hello, and then the old patriarch said: "Okay, the auspicious time has come, sacrifice to the god of grains!" ”

As soon as this sound came out, Li Chaosheng stretched out his hand to take the three incense sticks handed over by the clansmen on the side, and respectfully bowed to the statue that was placed on the shrine.

The god of ceres, the god in charge of the five grains and abundance, the specific name is ominous, some people say that it is called Xuanyi, as for the source is the sixth volume of the Tao Te Ching: the god of grain is immortal, it is called Xuanjiao, some people explain that this sentence means that the god of grain will not die, it is called Xuanjiao.

However, Li Chaosheng thought it was wrong, so he specially rummaged through the relevant explanations, and the explanation of this sentence is that the Tao (Ceres), which gives birth to all things in heaven and earth, is eternal, which is called Xuanyin.

So the name of the god of grains should not be called Xuanyin, but two days ago, Li Chaosheng also found an answer, which made Li Chaosheng speechless and couldn't refute it, someone told Li Chaosheng that the god of grains was called ...... Warren Buffett~

I believe your ghost, don't you know if the homophonic stalk deducts money, but in addition to Buffett's explanation, Li Chaosheng really doesn't know who to say, who is Ceres?

Li Chaosheng didn't know, maybe it was just a symbol, just like the god in front of him, holding an ear of wheat in his left hand, an ingots in his right hand, a piece of barley at his feet, a smile on his face, a big red robe on his body, and a hat with the same style as the God of Wealth.

This is Ceres.

Li Chaosheng gave incense to the god of grains, and all the clansmen knelt down, but Li Chaosheng did not kneel, but there is nothing strange about the big guy, some people say that Li Chaosheng is a god who goes down to earth, how can there be a reason for an immortal to kneel down and kowtow to other gods?

They are equal.

After the fragrance was finished, the old patriarch said: "After the cereal sacrifice is over, please sow the first seed from the owner." ”

At this time, Li Chaosheng took the corn seeds sent by others on the side, then took the hoe and dug a pit on the ridge of the very flat ground, threw the corn seeds into it, and then wiped it with his foot, even if the sowing of the first seed was completed, then a tenant farmer took the hoe in Li Chaosheng's hand.

Li Chaosheng patted the tenant farmer on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, this year will be a good year." ”

"Yes, sir."

At this time, this Li clan called the master, it is true that the clan is true, but the relationship is a little distant, so it is customary to call the master, Li Chaosheng said at this time: "What is the name of the master, they are all from the same family, seeing that you are older than me, I should call you big brother." ”

"Don't, you're going to torment me."

At this time, the tenant farmers waved their hands again and again, and Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "Let's do our work." ”

Li Chaosheng said, the tenant farmer took the hoe and began to work, at this moment a little girl about ten years old ran over quickly, followed by Li Chaosheng timidly and said: "Master, my mother, my mother let me give you this egg to eat." ”

Egg?

Li Chaosheng looked at the eggs in the little girl's hand, a little surprised, after all, the eggs in this year are treasures, and ordinary people are reluctant to eat them, they are used to entertain distinguished guests, or someone in the family is sick, and when they cook sick meals, they are willing to give a little.

"Why did your mother give me eggs?"

Li Chaosheng looked at the little girl and asked, the little girl lowered her head and blushed at this time and pointed to the ground behind her: "I, my family is to plow this land for you." ”

"My mother said that in the future, I will have to rely on you to eat enough, so I want to give you this egg."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Oh, that's it, then I accepted this egg, thank your mother for me, tell your mother for me, plant it well, you won't be hungry in the future." ”

"Hmm."

After the little girl finished speaking, she ran away, Li Chaosheng touched herself and muttered, "Do I look scary?" ”

Li Chaosheng thought, at this moment another child ran over and sent Li Chaosheng a handful of very small wild plums, which looked a little raw, and then the child held it in both hands and said to Li Chaosheng: "Uncle, eat the fruit, this is what I just picked on the tree, it is sour, but it is delicious, I will eat it for you." ”

"Your family also rented my land?"

Li Chaosheng looked at the child, the child nodded, Li Chaosheng waved his hand and said, "Take it." ”

After receiving these two, more children began to send things, all of which were picked up by adults behind, these adults are very smart, and some of these small things they send can't be handled, but it's another thing for children to send them.

"Uncle, taste my family's fruit."

"Uncle, my mother asked me to give you eggs."

"Uncle, this is the wild jujube I just hit."

"Uncle, here you go, this is the mouse I just caught, it's delicious to roast and eat!"

……

Forehead......

Looking at the rat that died tragically in the child's hand, Li Chaosheng couldn't help but take half a step back, rats, toads, snakes, these are all part of the series that may not be human, but it will definitely scare you, by the way, there are cockroaches.

At this time, Li Chaosheng looked at the slightly thin mouse in the child's hand and didn't say anything, when he saw a fierce peasant woman rushing over, and the soles of her slippers whipped this warrior who caught mice.

"Hey, mother, what are you doing with me, the mouse I finally caught, I want to give Uncle Chaosheng to eat, you said that Uncle Chaosheng is a good person, so good things will be eaten by Uncle Chaosheng, this mouse is roasted and fragrant, hey, Mom, you still beat me......"

At this time, the peasant woman scolded the child while beating, and apologized to Li Chaosheng: "I'm sorry master, the child is not sensible, the child is not sensible." ”

The peasant woman apologized again and again, and Li Chaosheng smiled when he saw this: "It's okay, Tong Yan Wuji, thank you for the gift from the children, but I won't eat it." ”

When the peasant woman heard this, she smoked the soles of the child's shoes, and the peasant woman was really afraid that the child would anger Li Chaosheng, causing Li Chaosheng to sublease the land to others, and their family would not be able to live this year.
