No.257 Elephant's foot encouragement

Elephant foot drums?

Wang Mingyuan was slightly stunned: "What are you doing with this thing?" ”

As a characteristic musical instrument of the Dai family, imagine that Wang Mingyuan still knows the foot drum.

It is an important percussion instrument of the Dai family, and is often used in the accompaniment of singing, dancing and Dai opera.

The elephant foot drum is shaped like a delicate goblet and is usually made of an entire section of the mango tree (i.e., the mango tree, as the local name is called) hollowed out of the heart of the tree, covered with yellow cowhide, and the exterior is carved with elaborate decorative images.

This kind of musical instrument is not only used by the Dai family, but also deeply loved by Jingpo, Lisu, Brown and other ethnic groups.

"I know you can sing and dance, but I'm afraid this thing is not suitable for the farm, right?" Wang Mingyuan asked puzzled.

The people who work in the entire sinkhole, Liu Li, Kang Moxiang and Kang Langxiang are members of the Dai family, and the others are all Han.

That's right, Kang Langxiang!

"You're not going to hook up with girls, are you?" Wang Mingyuan said in a low voice.

As he said this, his eyes glanced at the makeshift shack made of linoleum, and a small fire was lit at the door, and Kang Langxiang was roasting and looking at the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual".

"Roll ......" Liu Li's face turned red all of a sudden: "I asked you to bring an elephant foot drum for you." ”

"For me?" Wang Mingyuan pointed at himself, looking puzzled.

"Aren't you going to learn Dai boxing from me?" Liu Li laughed: "In fact, a large part of Dai boxing has been integrated into the elephant's foot encouragement, those are the foundation, to learn Dai boxing, first give the encouragement to learn." ”

Wang Mingyuan was stunned and speechless.

It was hard for him to imagine himself alone in the future, carrying an elephant foot drum and jumping to the rhythm.

However, having said that, many men in the Dai family have been exposed to these things since they were children, and they have become accustomed to it, and they are indeed good at it.

Wang Mingyuan has seen this kind of performance.

Especially the solo dance in the elephant's foot drum.

There's a lot of jumping in there. For example, the rise and fall of the knees and the movement of the calves are tough and powerful, and at the same time with the action of not beating the drum, the chest and back arch and the shoulders are shrugged, forming a unique jumping technique and style, giving people a very rough, fierce and steady impression.

If you think about it, there's a lot going on here.

If Liu Li doesn't explain, the world only thinks of it as a dance with national characteristics, and after explaining it, I find that there are indeed many extraordinary features, not just as simple as dance.

This is the second batch to be inscribed on the national intangible cultural heritage list.

Of course, in later generations, it is clear that the elephant's foot drum has undergone a lot of adaptations, more for the sake of good looks, and it will definitely not be as original as it is now.

You must know that many of the attacks of Dai Boxing are simulated animals, and the attacks have always been swift and fierce, without too many fancy, but it is precisely because of this that they are very practical.

Wang Mingyuan suddenly became looking forward to this.

You know, when it comes to the Dai family, the most familiar thing is the peacock dance, but only those who really know know that in the Dai family, the best peacock dance is not a woman, but a man, both rigid and soft.

"I remember, the next time I come back, I'll bring back two elephant foot drums!" Wang Mingyuan nodded.

"Just one, why are you bringing two?"

"You can't let me dance alone!"

In order to avoid embarrassment, the best thing to do is to be embarrassed together.

"After I go out this time, I will go back with more seeds, and tomorrow afternoon, all of them will go home for a day of rest, see my wife and children, arrange things at home, and carry these seeds we will plant the day after tomorrow."

Wang Mingyuan thought about it and explained to Zhang Shouzhong.

This time, he returned to 2023 and prepared to get enough Ganoderma lucidum sticks at one time, which is a lot, and it will probably take two days to move all the people.

"Good!" Zhang Shouzhong nodded in response.

"After I go back this time, I'm going to go to Haicheng."

"To Haicheng?" Zhang Shouzhong turned his head to look at Wang Mingyuan, and was quickly relieved: "Are you looking for Han Xiaoling?" ”

Wang Mingyuan nodded: "If you don't get her back, I'm afraid she'll forget about me." ”

Zhang Shouzhong said with some worry: "It's hard to go back to the city, I'm afraid I won't follow you back easily." ”

"It's up to her!" Wang Mingyuan snorted vigorously.

Zhang Shouzhong's expression suddenly became serious: "You can't mess around!" ”

"I'm measured! This time and again, it will take a lot of time, and the affairs of the farm will depend on your help. ”

One is a sworn brother, and the other is a person who dares to protect himself with his life, Liu Li and Zhang Shouzhong are the most trusted and reassuring people in Wang Mingyuan, and they will explain the matter to the two of them, and I believe it will be done very well.

In the morning of the next day, Liu Li brought Jin Wither early, called the other four militiamen, and went to change the guard.

Wang Mingyuan called Zhang Shouzhong, went to the excavated soil troughs, and began to teach Zhang Shouzhong to plant Ganoderma lucidum.

"The wooden pieces should be tightly put together, placed flat, the knife must be cleaned, not stained with oil, sharpened, and the bags should be divided into four, and put them in the place where the wood fits......"

Wang Mingyuan explained, while actually operating: "Also, the fracture on the surface of the wood must not be stepped on, it is contaminated with mud, it will isolate nutrient absorption, and after it is placed, cover the soil and humus on both sides and smooth it." ”

After he finished demonstrating, he watched Zhang Shouzhong operate a few times, and after confirming that there was no problem, he explained the matter to him, and then called twelve young people, in groups of three, to change the honey bucket on their backs and return to Zhangjiaao.

Accompanied by Kang Langxiang, she brought a lot of medicine consumption during this time, and was ready to take a trip to the commune with Wang Mingyuan to replenish various medicines.

The three of them changed their backs in a bucket, and the speed was much faster, and at about one o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at Zhangjiaao.

Several barrels of honey were loaded onto the truck, and after a few people went back to rest, Wang Mingyuan went to find the third aunt.

After the young and strong entered the mountain, the matter of buying morels in the commune market was handed over to the third aunt and Song Qingwen and his father.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"How much morel mushrooms have been collected during this time?"

Wang Mingyuan asked as soon as he entered the door.

"Not much, just more than ten bags, this thing is very lightly dried, a bag looks full, but in fact there are not a few catties, these more than ten bags, the total is two hundred catties of dry products, during this time, morels have passed the time, and many of them have rotted when they are found...... It's hard to put it away, these few, which one catty, are all time-picked to get it, and many people still focus on work and work.

At yesterday's market, only more than 30 catties were collected, and there were fewer and fewer. ”

The third aunt was a little embarrassed because she couldn't receive more morels.

"Don't be afraid, when it comes to September and October, you can still collect it, and the next time you go to the market, if someone sends it, you will take it back, and by the way, release the news that you will not receive it for the time being."

Wang Mingyuan knew very well that this was a normal situation: "In another two months, the mushrooms in the mountains will come out, and at that time, we will collect something else!" ”

Subsequently, with the help of several people, the bags were loaded into the truck.

Wang Mingyuan returned to the Zhiqing Point, called Kang Langxiang to have lunch together, and then drove the truck towards Adu Commune.

Arriving at the commune, Wang Mingyuan took advantage of people's inattention, got into the cargo box covered by the truck tarpaulin, put honey and morels into the carry-on space, and then drove the truck to the courtyard in front of the commune office building, and after greeting the staff, he changed it to 212 jeeps, and after Kang Langxiang bought the medicine, he sent her back to Zhangjiaao.

Seeing that Wang Mingyuan was not in a hurry to return to the commune, Kang Langxiang asked a little strangely: "Aren't you still going to pull seeds?" ”

"I've asked someone to do it, just drive it back later tomorrow!"

Wang Mingyuan made an excuse to get the lake over.

The time and space travel point was fixed at the Zhangjiaao Zhiqing Point, and he had to return here and wait.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Wang Mingyuan's figure appeared in front of the apiary hut.
