Chapter 426: God Tour Day
Jiang Yuan's army stew was made casually, basically belonging to whatever was in the refrigerator. Even so, when it was served to the two Dobermans, they were still so excited that they wanted to jump and eat.
Jiang Yuan scooped a portion for himself, and divided some for his dad and Uncle Qiang, saying: "Try it, the dogs like to eat it."
Jiangfuzhen glanced at Jiang Yuan: "Think about it before you speak."
Jiang Yuan chuckled twice and encouraged: "It should be delicious, Dad, try it."
Regarding eating, Jiangfuzhen hasn't been so keen in recent years. He now prefers to watch others eat after he makes it. As for himself, he just eats a little bit casually. Big fish and meat are more of a spiritual enjoyment, filling the spiritual emptiness he once had.
However, the dog food Jiang Yuan made today did have an alluring fragrance, even though it was made from the food he had left over for the past two days. "Okay, eat some, everyone is tired." Jiangfuzhen greeted Uncle Qiang to come and eat.
The three of them set up their posture, sat at the table, and each took chopsticks to taste.
The hot army stew contained more than a dozen kinds of food, which had also been carefully cooked before, and the taste was indeed okay.
Jiangfuzhen nodded while eating: "It's better than the rice I heat up. You have practiced this rice heating technique. It's not easy in the police team."
This sentence, in two or three sentences, turned to Jiang Yuan's life.
Jiang Yuan's mind couldn't help but flash the red eggs boiled by his master Wu Jun, as well as the pork intestine and pig stomach chicken in Longli County, and couldn't help but say: "Life is okay, it's just very busy. Others, like when I go out on business recently, the other party executes very well, and generally there are local specialty foods."
"It's better to cook it yourself. Didn't you buy a house? If it's too far, buy another one. You can go back and cook at noon. If you find it troublesome, hire someone, at least cook a meal. In this way, you can cook leftovers when you come back."
Jiangfuzhen said and glanced at the two Dobermans. The two dogs were eating the rice you made straight.
Uncle Qiang, who was tasting happily, raised his head sensitively.
Jiang Yuan coughed twice and said: "Actually, the army stew I made is not authentic. I'll make something else later."
Jiang's father smiled: "Leftovers boiled in a pot, how can it be authentic?"
Uncle Qiang knew the authentic army stew, and said in a muffled voice: According to local tradition, it should be boiled with the dog to be authentic.
The ears of the two Dobermans stood up hard. The next day.
Jiang Yuan spent the whole day wandering around the residential area jumping over bonfires.
The bonfires were large and small. The small ones were directly set with an alcohol lamp, and a wind shield had to be put on to cover it, so that very small children could also jump over. The large ones were piled up with wood, but they couldn't be piled too high. When they burned, they were half a person high, and there were some fuels next to them. Whoever felt the fire was not enough, just set up two more by themselves.
The largest bonfire was not lit until after eight o'clock in the evening. At that time, everyone could line up to drill through the bonfire.
This is also the condition of Jiang Village now. In past years, if two or three bonfires could be lit, it would be very decent. Even so, the adults had to prepare for a long time.
Now it's simple. The wood for the cars is bought, and the price is not expensive. If you think you should protect the domestic forests, you can also buy imported goods. Burning fire all night is not worth the price of a large lobster.
But the joy it brings is far better than this.
Especially at the end of the cold season, everyone has a feeling that their bones and muscles cannot be stretched. Even if the room is as warm as spring, you have to wear thick clothes when you go out, and there are fewer sports that can be carried out. Many people feel shrunk for a long time.
The bonfire is lit, the crowd is focused, and plus running for jumping over the bonfire, the three are superimposed, and everyone feels that their body is warm.
Towards the end of jumping over the bonfire, even the dogs in the village participated.
Old dad Jiangfuzhen also played happily, couldn't help but sigh: "When we were young, if we had this kind of strong soldiers and horses, it would be a pity. Now it's useless." He looked at the young people in the village wearing super, Burberry, lv, and felt a little regretful.
Uncle Qiang also said: "Really, if we had so many tall people at that time, we would have to grab eight or ten Bodhisattvas every year. When we grab water and carry the Bodhisattva out next year, everyone has to kneel."
Jiangfuzhen thought of such a scene and couldn't help laughing. Jiang Yuan knew that they were talking about grabbing the Bodhisattva before the god tour. Tonight, after jumping over the bonfire, everyone would take a shoulder pole, carry a stool, and go to the Land Temple to welcome the Bodhisattva in a mighty way. The nearby villages would also go to welcome them. For this, everyone would launch a battle of grabbing, and it is said that they would break a few heads.
And the Bodhisattva grabbed back would be carried at the forefront when the god tour is held tomorrow. The more Bodhisattvas carried, the more prosperous it represents. Moreover, when the next two months come, farming begins, and water is needed, the village with more Bodhisattvas carried can theoretically use water first—in the case where water sources are not too tight, everyone will basically follow this principle. The benefit is that there is no need to fight to death when fighting for water.
Grabbing the Bodhisattva and the god tour are festivals after all, and everyone will have a sense of proportion, not to the point of fighting for their lives. Fighting for water is a real interest-related matter. If there was no grabbing the Bodhisattva's predecessor, and the priority of water use was decided directly by armed fighting, that would really kill people, and even die every year.
Now there is no need to fight for water, and grabbing the Bodhisattva has become pure fun travel. The good batch of strong young people accumulated in Jiang Village over the years does not need to show their soft roots.
Jiang Yuan didn't even go to the scene of grabbing the Bodhisattva. He was tall and easy to become the target of the other party's fire. If a lump of soil flew over, it wouldn't kill anyone but would break his head, which was really unnecessary.
It was noisy until two or three in the morning that night.
Jiang Yuan even went to the monitoring room to take a look, and there was no abnormality, so he went home to sleep silently.
The security company of Jiang Village residential area has been quietly established. Currently, 24 real security guards have been recruited, working in two shifts, and with the monitoring system that can check the monitoring, the safety has been greatly improved. Things like losing electric cars at the door have basically been eradicated.
Early the next morning, everyone dressed up at home and started lining up downstairs.
Those who are willing to follow tradition will wear some ancient costumes at this time, most of which are modified from opera costumes. Those who are particular can use embroidery, and there are those who wear armor, those who wear lion dance costumes, those who wear Hanfu, and most of them wear costumes of gods or Bodhisattvas, the so-called god tour.
Jiang Village doesn't have too many requirements. Anyway, it's all passed down from the village. At most, it can be traced back to four generations. In fact, the rules said by people in their sixties and seventies are basically traditions. If people want to change something, the younger generation can't say one, two, three, four.
Even some people who are not very willing to participate in activities, or have other ideas, wear their own clothes for the god tour today, and no one will say anything.
Only the people who carry the Bodhisattva will be picked by the organizers, and only villagers who are dressed neatly and cleanly are allowed to carry them.
Jiang Yuan mixed into the C position behind the Bodhisattva and was responsible for carrying a flag. The flag was red, and nothing was written on it. It was just holding the flag, and it was done when it was colorful.
The god tour has always been an activity with more joy. Now that the conditions are good, it is even rarer for everyone to gather together. Instead, such traditional activities will give everyone a reason to get rid of busy work, study, travel, eating and drinking, and going out to buy things.
Jiang Yuan shook the red flag, followed the crowd, turned around in Jiang Village residential area, walked to every corner, set off firecrackers, lit bonfires, danced lions, sang songs, sang operas, and shouted numbers all the way, then set off from Jiang Village, turned around in Old Jiang Village, passed the ancestral hall with plaques of second-class meritorious service and first-class meritorious service, sang and worshipped, then returned the Bodhisattvas to the Land Temple, and then wandered back to Jiang Village residential area, set up a banquet, and ate a big meal with a hungry stomach.
This is the time for Jiangfuzhen to show his skills. For Jiangfuzhen now, he is most afraid of making food that no one comes to eat, but if he is asked to go out to open a charity hall, he can't stand the restraint of being perfect. The banquet in the village is the best. Jiangfuzhen shows his skills as much as he can, and everyone eats with an open stomach, which is even more harmonious.
Cousin Jiang Qianwen ran to Jiang Yuan's side at this time and whispered: "Brother, help me examine a few blind date objects."
Jiang Yuan slowly put down the small ribs in his hand and asked: "How many?"
"Look at one first." Jiang Qianwen pulled Jiang Yuan and left. In a while, the two stood by the wall, tilted their heads, and saw a boy in a white shirt, about twenty years old, playing with his mobile phone boredly.
"This is the best condition, what do you think?" Jiang Qianwen asked excitedly.
She was only in her early 20s, and her family was anxious to find a blind date object. Not only was she not angry, but she was also a little happy. Anyway, it was just playing.
"You have to tell me the other party's information first." Jiang Yuan picked up the telescope and looked at it. The telescope was given by Jiang Qianwen, unexpectedly. Jiang Qianwen recalled and said: "Said to be 26 years old, 180, opened a company outside or something. Age is fake, starting at 28. Height is fake, should be 172 cm, wore height-increasing shoes, now can be 177, plus hair, falsely reported as 180. If it is the company opened... not sure if he opened a company, you can check it with your mobile phone, but what he mainly engages in should be physical work, the calluses on his hands have already risen, of course, it may be a physical company." Jiang Yuan put down the telescope and looked at Jiang Qianwen.
There was not only no disappointment on Jiang Qianwen's face, but she smiled very happily.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan was surprised.
"In this case, no matter how we get along, the wrong one will only be him." Jiang Qianwen was very satisfied. Jiang Yuan pondered the logic, not sure whether the Jiang family's genes to Jiang Qianwen here can be considered passed down. ===== CHAPTER 427 =====
"In that case, no matter how we get along, he will be the only one in the wrong." Jiang Qianwen seemed very satisfied. Jiang Yuan pondered the logic behind this, not entirely sure if the Jiang family's genes had been passed down incorrectly by the time they reached Jiang Qianwen.
