Zizhou, Lu Province, during the Zhou Dynasty, was the capital of the Qi State!

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Mu took Sanqian, Shan Zhong and Lin Xiaoxiao and a group of four people to Furong Town in the south of Zizhou City!

There is a temple fair here for seven consecutive days, which is very lively!

"Smile, keep up, there are a lot of people, don't be squeezed out!"

Lin Mu wore a mask and a hat, very low-key.

Sanqian was dressed like a bear, and then he was carried around his neck by a tall mountain, holding a dragon-shaped sugar painting in his hand, looking at it with a happy face, and he was not even willing to lick it!

At the door of the temple fair just now, Lin Mu was pleasantly surprised to see a booth painting of sugar!

Sugar painting is a traditional folk handicraft that uses sugar as a material for modeling.

The tools used are only a spoonful and a shovel, and the sugar is generally red and white sugar plus a little caramel and put it on the stove to boil it over a warm fire, and it can be used to pour the casting mold when it can be drawn.

Lin Mu remembers that when he was young, there would often be a middle-aged man at the school gate doing sugar painting there!

After school, there was a sweet smell at the entrance of the school, which emanated from the small pot on the stall of the middle-aged man!

The sticky syrup inside looks so tempting!

And what impressed Lin Mu the most was that the middle-aged man was just using an ordinary spoon to scoop out a spoonful of syrup, and on a white marble slate, he was able to draw so many animals!

There is also a turntable for lottery on the side, which is engraved with all kinds of animals, one dollar is turned once, and the boss will do what you want to do!

The above is basically the 12 zodiac signs, the oldest is the dragon, and the smallest is a sugar cake.

Lin Mu remembered that when he was young, he frequented here, but every time Lin Mu basically turned to the animals, they were all relatively small, and they suffered every time!

However, Lin Mu has always believed that he will definitely be able to transfer to the dragon, and he will definitely be able to get the boss wool once!

When he grew up, Lin Mu understood that the boss could control the turntable!

From Nanjing to BJ, what I bought is not what I sell!

However, although the boss who painted sugar paintings that Lin Mu met today also had a turntable, Lin Mu could clearly see that there was no mechanism on this turntable!

Sanqian was very curious about this kind of sugar painting, so Lin Mu spent five yuan and asked Sanqian to turn the turntable to see what kind of picture he could turn to!

Sangan rubbed his hands, stretched out his hand and flicked the pointer on the turntable, and the pointer turned quickly!

Many people around saw this scene and involuntarily gathered around.

From ancient times to the present day, this kind of thing is very attractive!

Lin Mu also showed a smile on his face hidden under the mask, thinking that when he was young, every time he saw someone going to turn the turntable, there would definitely be a large group of people around him.

The pointer on the turntable slowly stopped, and in Lin Mu's surprised eyes, the pointer landed steadily on the dragon's diagram!

Lin Mu glanced at the program schedule next to him, the dragon's sugar painting, the price is fifty yuan!

The price of sugar paintings has increased tenfold compared to those days, and the cheapest sugar paintings cost ten yuan!

However, it is too rare to sell sugar paintings now, and Lin Mu has never seen it in the capital for so many years!

Scarcity is precious, and this has been the case since ancient times!

Seeing that he had turned to the dragon's diagram, Sanqian suddenly jumped three feet high, hugged Lin Mu excitedly, and shouted in his mouth, he was excited!

The owner of this stall was also a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he saw that Sanqian had turned to Long, he immediately showed a smile.

"Kid, you're really lucky, I've been setting up a stall for two days, but no one has been able to turn to the dragon, you're the first, it's amazing, wait, Uncle will do it for you!"

The people around also gathered around, because the cost performance of sugar painting is a bit inflated, so not everyone can afford it.

However, when I saw someone draw a dragon, everyone wanted to see how this dragon was drawn!

Seeing so many people surrounding, the boss also raised his spirit, this is a living signboard, maybe he will draw a dragon-shaped sugar painting, so that more people can buy sugar paintings!

I saw the boss pick up the spoon, stir it in the warm syrup on the side, and then scoop half a spoonful of syrup, gently scrape it on the edge of the pot, and lightly came to the white marble slate!

Everyone has stretched their necks, they haven't seen a sugar painting for many years, and many people still have a trace of nostalgia in their hearts!

Especially those young people who are about the same age as Lin Mu, they are all exchanging with each other about the experience of eating candy paintings when they were young!

The spoon in the boss's hand was slightly slanted, and the syrup poured down from the spoon like silk threads, and the boss's hand continued to swim on the slate!

Lin Mu couldn't help but light up in his eyes when he saw the boss's movements!

It seems that this boss is not only a master of sugar painting, but also a master of calligraphy!

Looking at the word "dragon" dancing with a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing slowly taking shape on the stone slab, Lin Mu couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart!

Sure enough, the masters are all in the people!

I saw the word "dragon", and the "stand" in the upper left corner was gently pressed by the boss with a spoon, and then quickly scratched a few times with a shovel, and it became a majestic dragon head!

"Wow-"

Sangan was surprised by this ghostly scene!

Everyone around also let out an exclamation!

What a skillful hand!

Lin Mu's eyes also narrowed, this boss's kung fu in painting sugar paintings has reached the point of doing whatever he wants, and it seems that he didn't learn it in a short time!

And the right half of the word "dragon" was pressed by the boss with a spoon, and then flicked it gently, and the syrup threw out a beautiful arc on the slate, and it actually formed a tail!

"Brother Lin, look at it, wow, it's so beautiful!"

Sanqian was about to lose his excitement!

The boss took out a bamboo stick, pressed it on the completed "dragon" character sugar painting, and gently shoveled the sugar painting from the slate with a shovel, then pushed it forward and said, "Wait a little, wait until it's cool and pick it up!" ”

Hearing this, Sanqian retracted his outstretched hand, stood in front of the stone slab, and carefully looked at this "dragon" character sugar painting, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it!

[Folk Handicrafts - Sugar Painting (Famous Grade)]

[The Six Arts of the Gentleman - Calligraphy - Hanging Words (Famous Level)]

When the boss finished the work, two golden orbs of attributes emerged from his body.

Lin Mu's face showed a clear expression, sure enough, this boss is not only a master of sugar painting, but also has a deep calligraphy foundation!

Hanging into words, it seems that this is a unique mastery of the boss!

"Kids, you can pick it up!"

didn't wait for a while, the boss said to Sanqian with a smile!

Sanqian grinned, and quickly reached out and picked up the sugar painting with the word "dragon"!

Under the sunlight, the golden sugar painting exudes a crystal light, and through the sunlight, the sugar painting also forms a shadow on the ground, as if a calligrapher wrote the word "dragon" on the ground!

Many people around were shocked by the sugar painting in Sanqian's hand!

When I was on the slate, although I could see that the boss's craftsmanship was good, when the sugar painting was picked up by Sanqian, it had a three-dimensional feeling, and it was different in an instant!

"Boss, I'll have one too!"

"I want one too!"

"Daddy, Daddy, I want it too!"

"Mom, I want that dragon too!"

Seeing the people surrounding him, Shan Zhong hurriedly walked over and used his majestic body to block the crowd squeezing towards Sanqian!

Lin Mu also hurriedly took Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, separated the crowd, and left the crowded stall!

"Alipay has arrived, fifty yuan!"

The boss's hand that was scooping sugar from the pot couldn't help but shake his head, showing a smile, and his heart warmed slightly!

He knew that this was the money given by the customer just now, not just five yuan for the turntable, but directly for the "dragon" type candy painting!

The boss knows that he has met a kind person who is not bad for money!

"Okay, congratulations, I've turned to a monkey, I'll make you a white ape and offer a peach!"

The child who had just turned the turntable saw that he had not turned to the "dragon", and the expression on his face suddenly fell!

The boss hurriedly comforted and said, the monkey is also very cute, you will know when it is made!

This made the children not cry, and their faces showed an expression of expectation!

……

Along the way, because Sanqian was reluctant to eat the sugar painting in his hand, he was afraid that the sugar painting in his hand would be crushed by the surrounding crowd, so Shanzhong directly carried Sanqian around his neck!

And the sugar painting in Sanqian's hand made Shanzhong feel endless pressure, because everyone basically had to look up at the "dragon" type sugar painting in Sanqian's hand, and they all showed envious expressions!

"Brother, it should be a theater in front!"

Lin Xiaoxiao pointed to the big banner hanging in front of him and said to Lin Mu!

Lin Mu looked up, indeed, there was a small theater in front of him, just like the "Dakun Theater" that Lin Mu encountered in the Suzhou and Hangzhou Night Market!

"Let's go, let's see how this chatting slang song is!"

As soon as Lin Mu waved his hand, the four of them came to the ticket office of the theater!

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my live broadcast room, today I want to take you to check in is a century-old theater in our Zizhou, and the program to be staged in the theater today has a history of more than 300 years, which is older than our quintessential Peking Opera!"

"Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Hedi is here to greet all the treasures first, I wish you a happy New Year, good health, and a great fortune!"

The anchor Bai Hedi held a mobile phone in his hand and stood at the door of the "Tiande Theater", greeting the sailors in the live broadcast room!

"Brother, hurry up, I've bought a ticket, let's go in!"

A crisp shout directly made Bai Hedi's barrage in the live broadcast room go crazy!

"Brother-in-law, get out of the way and let my daughter-in-law appear on camera!"

"That's it, the anchor hurry up, we want to see the beauties!"

"Hello brother-in-law, I have two houses, three Mercedes-Benzes, and a deposit of 10 million, am I qualified to marry your sister?"

"Let my sister show her face, or I'll be shut down!"

Looking at the barrage that had been suppressed in the live broadcast room, the corners of Bai Hedi's mouth twitched slightly, looking at his sister Bai Helin, who was standing at the door of the theater waving at him, smiled brightly, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is not impossible for my sister to appear on the scene, but my sister's appearance fee, please help crowdfund!" ”

After speaking, Bai Hedi took the mobile phone holder and walked into the theater with Bai Helin!

Behind them, Lin Mu and his party of four also rushed to the door of the theater!

"Tiande Theater?"

Looking at this slightly quaint signboard, Lin Mu nodded, walked to the ticket office, and asked that a ticket was only thirty yuan, which was really cheap!

After buying four tickets, Lin Mu beckoned everyone into the theater together!

Sure enough, this is a small theater, which is similar to the "Dakun Theater" in the Suzhou-Hangzhou Night Market!

Seeing that there were more than a dozen people sitting in the middle of the sparse Lala, Lin Mu shook his head and led the three of them to the second row in the middle and sat down!

"Excuse me, would you like snacks and tea?"

A waitress walked over and asked softly!

Lin Mu spent fifty yuan and asked for a pot of tea and four snacks!

Peanuts, melon seeds, Jiang rice sticks, and a plate of preserved fruits!

When Sanqian saw that there was something to eat, he carefully put the sugar painting in his hand on the table, picked up a preserved fruit and threw it in his mouth!

The lights gradually dimmed, and an old man appeared on the stage!

The old man looked at the sparse crowd in the audience, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, but he fought hard and said with a smile, "Welcome to everyone here, today we are going to bring you a special performance of 'Liaozhai Slang Song', I hope you can support you a lot!" ”

The old man briefly introduced the origin of "Liaozhai Slang Song" on the stage!

Since there are two words "Liao Zhai" in it, it shows that this art form is inseparable from the book "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai"!

Indeed, the art of Liaozhai slang music was created by Mr. Pu Songling, the author of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai"!

Pu Songling has been a tutor at Bi Jiyou's house in Xipu Village in the county for more than 30 years!

The Bi family is a wealthy nobleman, and has always had a tradition of writing and singing slang songs.

Pu Songling not only completed his masterpiece "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" here, but also completed the creation of most of the slang songs here.

Some people say that Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is extremely elegant, while his "Liaozhai Slang Song" is extremely vulgar.

This kind of evaluation can be said to be in one sentence, and it should be said that popularity is the most distinctive feature of slang music, and it is also its characteristic in general.

Because most of the slang songs are familiar stories that the locals have heard since childhood, and the performance form is lively and playful, this art has a lot of influence in the local area!

But with the passage of time, the vitality of this "Liaozhai Slang Song" no longer exists, after all, the descendants do not have the talent of Pu Songling, and now there are only a dozen "Liaozhai Slang Songs" left, and there are fewer and fewer people who can perform!

Today's team is one of the few small teams that can sing a complete few Liaozhai slang songs!
