Chapter 1341: Three Days
After Song Chongjin and the others returned to the village, within two days, they knew about the ten miles and eight towns in the vicinity.
I also knew that he was going to hold a three-day flowing water banquet in the village, invite the people in the village to eat, and invite people who sang big operas and rowed boats to be lively and lively.
Suddenly, almost the entire village near Shiqiao Town was in a stir.
It's been a great event in many years.
Not to mention the children, after hearing the news, they have already partnered with each other and discussed, and on the day when Qilidun opens a flowing water seat and sings a big drama, go to Qilidun to see the excitement.
If you have a good chance, see if you can eat on a table of running water noodles and be happy.
In the past few days in the village, the men, women and children in the village have been so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, preparing for the flowing water mat.
Yiying's rice, noodles, vegetables, various seasonings and oils were all brought back by Yao Da and dragged back like flowing water, and the courtyard of the Wang family was piled up like a hill.
I also found a butcher and ordered more than a dozen pigs, and bought the surplus chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables and vegetables in the village.
For a while, everyone in the village had a smile on their faces, and they only praised Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu for their generosity and ability to behave.
It's good or not, because of this, every family has a little more income, and the money is in hand, who is not satisfied with the good words.
Even to help, he is not stingy with that strength.
Some of the men were outside, building stoves out of mud and stones, and some were going up to the mountains to fetch firewood.
The tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans of each house were taken out.
Along the outside of Song Chongjin's courtyard, along the road in the village, it was almost at the entrance of the village.
In addition to the chef in charge invited from the town, the women who can cook in the village are also in battle.
The other women were busy picking vegetables, washing vegetables, washing rice and cooking, steaming noodles, and cutting vegetables and side dishes.
Everyone has a smile on their faces, and they are laughing and talking while doing things, and they are happier than doing happy things at home.
When the time came, early in the morning, the oil pot was opened, fried and steamed, and the fragrance could not be dispersed over the whole village, so greedy that the children all circled around the stove one by one, and could not bear to leave.
Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, a stage has been set up.
Several classes of singers were invited, and they had already stayed in the village the first night, and now they were dressed up and babbling and singing on stage.
The old people, men, and older children in the village were already sitting under the stage with their own stools, listening in fascination.
The nearby villagers, who had already gotten the news, were good to be close, and they arrived as soon as it was dawn.
Those who were far away got up in the middle of the night, lit torches, and the people of a village, made an appointment, and climbed a few mountains together in the dark, covered with dew, and finally arrived before the sun came out.
They also know that this is the home of Qilidun, and they don't dare to squeeze in front, only grab positions in the back.
The trees, the stones, and the low walls of other houses were full of people.
By noon, the flowing water seat had begun.
There are several classes of singers, who take turns to eat, looking at the table one by one, the big bowl of meat, the whole fish, full of seven or eight dishes, the steamed rice tube is full, and there is enough tea after eating.
These troupes who go to the village and sing operas, to be honest, are really hard.
Sleeping in the open air all year round, walking to a place, seeing a township with many people, he set up a platform by himself to attract passers-by to give some rewards, and it would be good to be full.
It's rare to have the opportunity to be invited to sing, especially if the food is so good, it's enough!
One by one, they desperately stuffed their stomachs, and they secretly made up their minds in their hearts that in this Qilidun scene, they must sing well in order to be worthy of the hospitality of the master's family.
The singing has food in his stomach and strength, that one works hard, the people present can't help but slap it, today's play is brilliant! It's more powerful than anything I've heard before!
When the villagers arrived at the meal, they took turns to eat the flowing water mat and then came to listen to the play.
Some of the people from the other villages brought dry food, and they had the tea that Qilidun put next to the stage, and it was okay to have a meal.
Those who didn't bring it, or those children, smelled the smell of food and meat blown by the wind, where could they still hold back, and their stomachs growled.
was seen by Yao Dahe Shishi, and when he went back, he said to Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin, "My lord, madam, there are many people here, and most of them are going to go back hungry to listen to a day's playββ"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Yongzhu said: "I know, you take someone to say, the person who comes is a guest, as long as you don't eat, you can go to the banquet!" It's just that I have to bother you to prepare more food, otherwise I am afraid it will not be enough! β
Yao Da and Shi passed through Jing County on that day, and they were already mentally prepared.
After listening to Wang Yongzhu's instructions, he went straight down, and on the one hand, he informed those from other villages that they could also eat hot dishes and hot meals, and on the other hand, he sent people to buy things.
When the people from other villages heard this, they couldn't help but chant Buddha one by one!
I thought it was just a bowl of hot rice or a few hot buns, and I was content.
Unexpectedly, when I got to the table, there were still eight dishes on the table, including meat and vegetarian, Erhe rice, and Erhe noodles.
A treatment with the people of Qilidun.
That's grateful! Especially for many children who don't see meat all year round, there is really a green light in their eyes.
On the table, one by one, like a tiger descending from a mountain, swept the table, and soon ran out of dishes and food!
The soup on the plate was licked clean, and the bones were not willing to spit out, so they chewed it and swallowed it.
There are those who know some shame, eat this meal at noon, and in the evening, seeing that the sky is almost over, no matter how reluctant they are, they grit their teeth and go home, it is not good to take advantage of the master's house like this.
There is that thick-skinned one, who simply ate dinner and didn't leave, anyway, the troupe had to sing twice in the evening before resting.
After listening to the play directly, I nested all night next to the straw and firewood stack at the entrance of the village.
The next morning, I followed the table noodles again.
Early in the morning of the third day, those who rowed dry boats, stepped on stilts and mussel shells, and beat lotus flowers, all arrived.
Dressed up one by one, the flowers were red and willow green, and the faces were painted red and white, and they first went to the gate of Song Chongjin's small courtyard, singing and making trouble, and their mouths were full of auspicious words of congratulations, plus the crowd of onlookers, it was a lively meal.
Song Chongjin also opened the courtyard door, looked at it with a slight smile, and asked Yao Da to give a reward before going to the door of the king's house again.
Such a family will generously give a reward, or directly give a bowl of rice or half a scoop of noodles.
Stingy, an egg also makes.
From the morning until the second half of the morning, the whole village was run around, and it was over.
Several troupes over there took turns singing for three days, and they were all too tired.
In the evening, after dinner, Yao Da came over with a reward, ten taels of silver for each troupe, plus when watching the play in the past few days, there were also people who rewarded copper coins, which was a lot of income.
Let them not sing at night, have a good night's rest, and send them to the town tomorrow.
The bosses of several troupes were grateful, and only sighed that they had met a good master's house! This Lord Song is so considerate and generous, after going back, he has to provide an immortal tablet!
