Chapter 125: Nu Clan

Achang families are generally monogamous patrilineal families, with a system of inheritance among young sons, and there are also families with three generations. Although the inheritance system of young sons is rare, the Achang people are not the only one.

In the past, young men and women of the Achang nationality were free to fall in love before marriage, and every evening, young men and women would go to the vicinity of their favorite girl's house or in the bamboo bush, and use the gourd sheng to play a pleasant tune to amuse the girl, and in some areas, young men and women would gather in groups, beside the fire, singing love songs to each other, often all night long, called "string girls".

The mutual expression between young men and women singing mountain songs seems to be a traditional custom of many ethnic minorities, an unusually romantic confession. In modern times, many young people will choose to play the guitar and sing love songs under the girls' dormitory, which seems to be learning from ethnic minorities to sing mountain songs.

Hu Weiben of the Qing Dynasty "History of Nanzhaoye" contains: "Nu people, living in Yongchang (now Baoshan) inside and outside the Nu River,...... Shoot or gather Coptis chinensis for a living. ”

What Su Jiu wants to explain today is the Nu people, the Nu people have their own language, and the Nu language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Due to their long-term relationship with the Lisu people, the Nu people generally know the Lisu language and do not have their own script. Some ethnic minorities do not even have their own language, and the Nu have their own language due to their sparse population, which is not unrelated to their long history.

For this reason, Su Jiu deliberately wore a traditional dress of a Nu woman today, a linen robe with wide breasts and ankle length, and a red trimmed cloth at the interface of the front and back hems of the clothes. On his head and chest he wore a beautiful headdress and chest ornament made of coral, agate, beads, shells, silver coins, etc., and wore earrings of red coral on his ears and a green cloth towel to cover his head.

"Nu men's and women's clothing is mostly linen texture, the anchor is also cotton and linen, don't look at cotton linen in ancient times seems to be the exclusive property of the poor, in fact, cotton linen in modern society occupies a part of the high-end market, of course, this is inseparable from the advantages of cotton and linen itself, coupled with the development of modern science and technology, the original rough cotton linen has become soft and delicate. The anchor has put a batch of cotton linen of various colors on the backstage of the live broadcast room, and interested friends can buy some to make clothes to try. ”

"Young Nu girls like to add an apron to the outside of the linen robe and embroider various colors of lace on the edge of the dress, which is more bright and beautiful than the anchor's body. Nu men generally wear open-chested, knee-length linen robes with a cloth belt or rope tied around the waist, and the placket above the waist is tucked up to make it easier to carry things. At the same time, Nu men like to grow long hair, wrap their heads with cyan cloth, wrap their legs in linen, wear machetes at their waists, and carry crossbows and arrows on their shoulders. Nu men and women pay attention to decoration, just like the anchor now hangs jewelry on his body. ”

"The anchor's whole set of jewelry is not cheap, and few modern girls are generally willing to buy a set, and sometimes looking at them full of jewelry, the anchor feels that ethnic minorities are really rich."

Su Jiu really thinks so, when the Tibetan students in high school came to school for the first time, they wore beeswax and turquoise inheritance chest ornaments, which stunned a group of classmates, you must know that many of their students are willing to spend money to buy such jewelry to wear. However, these things are not such rare treasures for the local people, and almost every household has a lot of them.

The folk tales and folk songs of the Nu nationality are the most widely circulated among the people, such as the stories of the dragon girl, the orphan, the strong man, the demon and the punishment of evil, love, animals, etc., not only the plot is vivid, the ethics, speculation, and interest are integrated, but also reproduce the heroic deeds of the Nu people in the past generations to fight against the evil forces of nature and society.

Su Jiu simply held the honey water in his hand, and gave the audience in the live broadcast room the folk stories of the Nu people in a soothing tone, hoping that through these folk tales passed down by the Nu people, the audience in the live broadcast room can have a more intuitive and profound understanding of the folk culture of the Nu ethnic minority, and the wisdom, good morals and ideals of the ancestors of the Nu people.

The Nu people like to drink and are good at winemaking. The main wines of the Nu nationality are "Gudu Wine", "Turbid Wine" and Sorghum Wine, among which "Gudu Wine" and "Turbid Wine" are the characteristic wines of the Nu Nationality. Except for the secret recipes purchased from other people or the Wanjie Mall, Su Jiu has never kept the brewing process of the rest of the fine wine secret, after all, these things are open and transparent on the Internet, and her brewing process is more detailed at most.

"Gudokshu" is made with "Gudu rice", which is a food made from cornmeal and buckwheat flour that resembles a rice cake. The method is to cool the rice with koji, mix it with koji and put it in a bamboo basket to cover it, and after a few days, it will smell like wine, or the wine will be modified in a jar and sealed for more than ten days. When eating, first strain it with a sheath, then mix it with a little boiling water or cold boiled water, add a little honey or sweetener, and brew it a little before drinking. This kind of wine is sweet and mellow, and it is the top grade of Nu wine, which can not only quench thirst, but also have the effect of nourishing and fitness.

Su Jiu extravagantly used blue gold honey to brew a batch of "Gudu Wine", because he was really reluctant, and finally only brewed a hundred jars: "The anchor replaced the honey brewing 'Gudu Wine' with a batch of blue gold honey, and everyone has been very enthusiastic recently, the anchor decided to take out ninety jars for everyone to try, of course, the price is uncertain, one jar needs 10,000 merit points, and the anchor hopes that everyone will do what they can." ”

Blue gold honey itself acts on the soul, and it can be said that its effect does not diminish with reincarnation. The stronger the soul, the more intelligent the new body after reincarnation, no matter what identity a person is reincarnated, smart people will always be more likely to succeed, as soon as this additional effect comes out, it steadily raises the value of blue gold honey, and the blue gold honey in the live broadcast room is in short supply.

Su Jiu's small activity immediately caused a sensation in the four planes, Kangxi, Wang Xueyun, Wang Sicong and other people who thought they had some friendship with the anchor even sent private messages to her, and the intention of going through the back door should not be too obvious.

Su Jiu pursed her lips a little embarrassed, although it was not good to go through the back door, but it was not the first time she had gone through the back door, so she simply left an altar for one of them, of course, the merit points were paid.

Kangxi and others naturally don't care if there is a discount, and it's good to be able to buy something that doesn't sound good.

The "Gudu Wine" made by Blue Gold Honey was quickly snatched up, and those who didn't grab it were unwilling to send barrages, and Su Jiu had to stop it: "I'm sorry, it's not that the anchor is unwilling to brew more, it's really that Blue Gold Honey is too scarce, and brewing these drinks has consumed the Blue Gold Honey that was hoarded before." The anchor promises that when the blue gold honey is sufficient, we will sell another wave. ”

Su Jiu is not lying, the blue gold bee has begun to reproduce now, and when the newborn blue gold bee grows up, although the blue gold honey cannot be supplied sufficiently, it is much stronger than now.
