Chapter 452 Wandering God Day
Jiang Yuan's army pot was made casually, basically putting 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 it.
Jiang Yuan scooped out a portion for himself, and shared some with his father and uncle Qiang, saying, "Try it, dogs like it."
Jiang Fuzhen glanced at Jiang Yuan: "You can think about it before you speak."
Jiang Yuan chuckled twice and encouraged, "It should be delicious. Dad, try it."
When it comes to eating, Jiangfu Town has actually become less enthusiastic about it in recent years. Now he prefers to cook and watch others eat. As for himself, he just eats a little casually. Big fish and meat are more of a spiritual enjoyment, filling the spiritual emptiness he once had.
However, the dog rice that Jiang Yuan made today did have an alluring aroma, even though it was all the food he had left over from the past two days. "Okay, eat something, I'm all tired." Jiang Fuzhen greeted Qiang Let's eat together.
The three people stood up and sat on the table, each using chopsticks to taste.
There are more than ten kinds of food in the hot army pot. They have been carefully cooked before and the taste is really good.
Jiang Fuzhen kept nodding while eating: "It tastes much better than the food I heated. You must have developed your cooking skills. Life in the police force is not easy."
These words, in two or three sentences, turned to Jiang Yuan's life.
Jiang Yuan's mind couldn't help but think of the red eggs cooked by Master Wu Jun and the fat intestines and pork belly chicken from Longli County. He couldn't help but said: "Life is okay, but I'm quite busy. Others, like when I was on a business trip recently, the other party carried out They are all very good and usually have local specialties.”
"It's better to cook your own food. Didn't you buy a house? If it's too far away, just buy a new one. You can go back to cook at noon. If it's too troublesome, just hire someone to cook at least one meal. That's it, you You can cook the leftovers later."
Jiang Fuzhen said as he glanced at the two Dobermans. The two dogs had already licked the basins clean: "Dogs really love to eat the food you cook."
Uncle Qiang, who was enjoying the taste, raised his head sensitively.
Jiang Yuan coughed twice and said: "Actually, the army pot I made is not authentic. I will make something else later."
Father Jiang smiled: "How can it be considered authentic if you cook a pot of leftovers?"
Uncle Qiang knew about the authentic military pot, and said in a low voice: According to local tradition, it should be cooked with the dog, so it is considered authentic.
The two Doberman's ears became stiff. the next day.
Jiang Yuan spent the whole day wandering around the community and crossing the fire.
Fires can be big or small. For small fires, just place an alcohol lamp and cover it with a windproof cover so that even small children can step over it. For large fires, use wood to pile them up, but not too much. High, it will burn as high as half a person, and there is some fuel beside it. If you don't have enough fire, you can set up two more.
The largest bonfire will not be lit until after eight o'clock in the evening, and then everyone can line up to have a bonfire.
This is also the current condition of Jiangcun. In previous years, it would have been pretty cool to have two or three bonfires lit. Even so, the adults would have to prepare for a long time.
It's easy now. You can buy truckloads of firewood, and the price is not expensive. If you think you should protect domestic forests, you can also buy imported goods. Burning a fire all night is not worth the price of a big lobster.
The happiness it brings is far greater than this.
Especially at the end of the cold season, everyone always feels like they can’t stretch their muscles. Even if it's warm as spring indoors, you have to wear thick clothes when you go out, and you can do less exercise. Many people feel like they're shrinking for a long time.
The bonfire was lit, the crowd focused, and they started running to cross the fire. The three superpositions made everyone feel warmer.
Towards the end of the fire, even the village dogs joined in.
Dad Jiang Fuzhen also had a great time and couldn't help but sigh: "When we were young, it would have been great if we had such strong soldiers and horses, but it's a pity that there is no need for them now." He looked at these people in the village wearing Super, Burberry, young people in Lv are quite sorry."
Uncle Qiang also said: "It's true. If we had so many tall men at that time, we wouldn't be able to snatch eight or ten Bodhisattvas every year. The next year we would have to kneel down to grab water and carry the Bodhisattvas out."
Jiang Fuzhen couldn't help laughing when he thought of those scenes. Jiang Yuan knew that they were talking about grabbing the Bodhisattva in front of the wandering god. Just tonight, after stepping across the fire, everyone would pick up poles and stools and go to the Tutu Temple to welcome the Bodhisattva. The few in front of them The whole village will also go to welcome him. For this reason, everyone will start a battle to fight for it, and even a few heads will be broken.
The Bodhisattvas snatched back will be carried at the front when the gods wander tomorrow. The more Bodhisattvas carried, the more prosperous they are. Moreover, when farming begins in the next two months and there is a need to compete for water, the villages with many Bodhisattvas can theoretically use the water first - as long as the water source is not too tight, everyone will basically follow this principle. The advantage is that there is no need to fight to the death when fighting for water.
After all, fighting for Bodhisattvas and Wandering Gods is a holiday, so everyone will have some sense of restraint and not go too far. The fight for water is a real matter of interest. If there is no preemption of the Bodhisattva, and the order of water is directly determined by fighting, people will really die, and even people will die every year.
Now there is no need to fight for water, and the fight for the Bodhisattva has become a purely fun trip. Jiangcun has accumulated a large number of strong young people over the years, and there is no need to show off their soft bones.
Jiang Yuan didn't even go to the scene of robbing the Bodhisattva. He is tall and easily becomes the target of the opponent's fire. A lump of earth suddenly flies towards him and can't kill him but also breaks his head. It's really unnecessary.
The commotion lasted until two or three in the morning that night.
Jiang Yuan also went to the monitoring room to take a look. There was nothing unusual, so he went home silently and went to sleep.
The Anhe Company in Jiangcun Community has been quietly established. Currently, 24 real security guards have been recruited. They are on duty in two shifts, and there is also a monitoring system to detect and monitor the situation. Safety has been greatly improved. For example, if an electric car is left at the door, it is basically a problem. It has been eliminated.
Early the next morning, everyone got dressed at home and started queuing downstairs.
Those who are willing to follow tradition will wear some ancient costumes at this time. Most of them are modified costumes. Those who are more sophisticated can use embroidery. There are also those who wear battle armor, lion dance costumes, and Hanfu. The most common ones are Wearing the clothes of gods or bodhisattvas is the so-called wandering god.
There are not many requirements in Jiangcun. Anyway, they are all passed down in the village, going back at most four generations. In fact, the rules spoken by people in their sixties and seventies are basically considered traditions. People want to change them. Where to change, the younger generation can't tell you one, two, three or four.
Even some people who are not willing to participate in the activities, or have other ideas, just wear their own clothes and wander around today, and no one will say anything.
Only those who carry the Bodhisattva will be carefully selected by the organizers, and only villagers who are neatly dressed and clean are allowed to carry them.
Jiang Yuan occupied the C position behind the Bodhisattva and was responsible for resisting a flag. The flag was red and had nothing written on it. He just held the flag and was in full bloom.
Wandering has always been a mostly fun activity, but now that conditions have improved, it is even more difficult for everyone to get together. Instead, such a traditional activity will give everyone a reason to escape from their busy work and study, travel, eat and drink, go shopping, etc. get out of things.
Jiang Yuan waved the red flag and followed the crowd around the Jiangcun community, reaching every corner, setting off cannons, lighting bonfires, dancing lions, singing operas, and shouting slogans. Then he started from Jiangcun and returned to Laojiang Village for a tour. Then they passed by the ancestral hall with the plaques of the second-class meritorious officials and the first-class meritorious officials, sang and worshiped, went to the Tutu Temple to return the Bodhisattvas to their places, and then wandered back to the Jiangcun community, set up a banquet, and used the pottery wheel to Hungry, eat a lot.
At this time, it is time for Jiangfu Town to show its talents again. For Jiang Fuzhen now, what he fears most is that no one will come to eat the food he made, but if he is asked to go out and open a charity, he can't stand the constraints of asking for perfection. The banquet in the village is the best. Jiangfu Town tried its best to show off its skills. Everyone ate with open stomachs, which made it even more enjoyable.
Cousin Jiang Qianwen ran to Jiang Yuan at this time and whispered: "Brother, help me check out some blind dates."
Jiang Yuan slowly put down the short ribs in his hand and asked: "How many?
"
"Look at one first." Jiang Qianwen pulled Jiang Yuan away. After a while, the two of them stood by the wall, tilting their heads, and saw a boy in a white shirt, who looked like he was in his early twenties, playing with his mobile phone boredly.
"This is the one with the best conditions. What do you think?" Jiang Qianwen asked enthusiastically.
She is only in her early 20s, and her family is anxious to find a blind date. Not only is she not angry, but she is also a little happy. She is just having fun anyway.
"You have to tell me the other party's information first." Jiang Yuan raised his telescope and looked at it. The telescope was given by Jiang Qianwen. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qianwen recalled it and said: "Let's say he is 26 years old, 180. He opened a company outside or something. His age was falsified and he started at 28 years old. His height was falsified, it should be 172 centimeters. After wearing height-increasing shoes, I can now count 177. With my hair, I falsely reported it to be 180. If he owns a company... I'm not sure if he owns a company. You can check this on your mobile phone, but he should be mainly engaged in manual work. , The calluses on my hands have grown, of course, it may be a physical company." Jiang Yuan put down the telescope and looked at Jiang Qianwen.
Not only was there no disappointment on Jiang Qianwen's face, she actually laughed happily.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan was surprised.
"In this case, no matter how we get along, he will only be wrong." Jiang Qianwen looked very satisfied. Jiang Yuan pondered the logic and was not sure whether the Jiang family's genes were passed down to Jiang Qianwen.
