Chapter 1954 Beauty Pageant
Entering the courtyard, everyone roared a few more times, and then entered the host's house. The host had to bring out a lot of wine to entertain everyone.
After drinking, the host took out the liquor again, and everyone roared happily to express their gratitude.
If the master brings out good wine again, people will shout loudly and praise the master's generosity.
Many people have made a "windfall" this year because of the projects Zhou Zhi and the others found, so once Zhou Zhi and the others enter the house, they usually can't leave without three bowls of wine.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, because after visiting the house, the women stayed at home to entertain visiting relatives, friends, and guests. Adult men will join Zhou Zhi's team and go to their next home to congratulate them on the New Year.
So the team will get crowded as the team leaves, and it will become chaotic later on. Zhou Zhi and the others can take the opportunity to avoid the drunkenness.
So the order of visits is also very important, because the more people there are, the more things need to be taken out to receive, so families with more financial resources can go to the back of the queue.
The last one is naturally the grain station. The place is spacious enough to sit and the things prepared are sufficient. It is very simple for the Yi people to gather. They don’t need any tables, chairs or benches. They only need a dustpan on the ground and some peanuts and melon seeds. Candy snacks, a small bowl of dried meat, a small bottle of corn wine, and a few familiar people squatting around the dustpan, you can eat, drink and chat happily.
When the atmosphere reaches this point, usually the leader is asked to come out and say a few words. Tu Liangzhi was pushed to the front by everyone, and Jili Guala spoke a lot of Yi. Zhou Zhi basically couldn’t understand it, but he saw everyone They all looked towards themselves and clapped and cheered.
That night, a bonfire was lit in the small square outside the grain station, and a swing was set up to "moon the autumn", and even more people gathered.
The boys put on newly made black slant-breasted tops, bandanas on their heads, hero knots, and red earrings given by Zhou Zhi on their right ears; the girls wore big-breasted tops, long pleated skirts, and Trimmed with multiple layers of colored cloth, a square handkerchief on the head or on the head, and cherry-red water drop pendants on the ears, everyone gathered together to play Guozhuang and play games to the tunes of the harmonica, yueqin, huqin and reed.
Needless to say much about swinging, the "Moerqiu" swing is quite unique.
The so-called moerqiu is to erect a pillar about fifty centimeters in diameter and one meter high on the ground, with a smaller top. Take another horizontal bar that is as big as a wooden pillar and about six meters long, and drill a round hole in the middle.
After placing the crossbar on the top of the wooden post, one or two people can sit on the top of both ends of the crossbar. The person who is on the ground will push on the ground with his feet, and the force of the push will make the crossbar rotate. At the moment when people bounce off the ground, they can curl up, roll, ride on the pole and other actions. Whichever person on both sides does well will be rewarded with praise and cheers.
Other games include wrestling, which is shirtless wrestling, and a game called "Wabu Ji Ze" in Yi language, which is translated as "rooster fighting".
This game is very interesting. Participants can only squat, put their palms together in front of their chests to make a rooster's head shape, and then the two of them hit each other hard. Who is knocked down or about to fall? , whoever touches the ground with his arms first loses.
This game looks very simple, but when Zhou Zhi also appeared on the stage wearing a Charwa, he was beaten to the ground by Tu Ri. Chun Chun fought against the five scum, and had practiced Tai Chi's horse stance for many years. Not used at all.
The fellow villagers were relatively tolerant of Zhou Zhi. Instead of booing him, they even smiled and encouraged him.
The Year of the Yi Nationality in 1995 kicked off with such a joyful gathering.
The next day it was even more lively. Early in the morning, blue, black and colorful people appeared on the newly built asphalt road. Everyone was heading in the same direction - Meigu City.
Although the distance is not close, it does not affect everyone's enthusiasm at all. Now the grain station has a car, which can tow a tractor, and a tractor, which can also be mounted with a tractor. The rest are horses And part of the mules.
The means of transportation at the grain station plus mules and horses can only ensure that the guests and children can sit. Except for some people in the village who have their own mounts, most of the people in the village go there on their legs. Zhou Zhi calculated that even if the road is repaired, it will still take seven or eight hours to walk from Lianhe Township to Meigu County, which shows how attractive Meigu Festival is to everyone.
When they arrived at the border, Zhou Zhi realized that the scene was almost as lively as the people in Jiachuan crowded at the pier to watch the Dragon Boat Festival.
The hillside outside the city was almost crowded with people, at least tens of thousands of people.
On the huge activity venue, colorful flags fluttered, and the sound of loudspeakers kept coming and going. The swings erected in the county, Mo'erqiu, were much taller than those in the countryside.
Many activities are still being held at the same time - horse racing, archery, wrestling, bullfighting, cheers one after another.
But these are not what people are most interested in. "Where is it? Where is it?" The guard slowly moved forward in the crowd, Zhou Zhi stuck his head out of the car window, and stood on the tow truck. The eldest Munola Hei shouted: "Munola Hei, choose Where is the beautiful place?"
"There is a big platform over there!" Munarahei was very brave. Anyway, the car was driving slower than a normal person, so he just dragged it from the bucket. Standing on the roof of the Defender: "Over there!"
"Renzhong, right, right!" Zhou Zhi sweated on his forehead: "There are too many people here! Muna Ahei said the beauty pageant stage is on the right!"
When the car drove to the edge of the beauty pageant venue, The advantage came again. Everyone could stand higher than the onlookers around them. Except for those who climbed up the tree early, they had a better view.
Chi Xueli had just been inspired by Muna Lahei, and now he also came to the roof of the car, set up a tripod, and pointed the camera at the venue.
Shama Ricong, Jike Azi, and Mai Xiaomiao, who were sitting in the carriage before, also crowded around Chi Xueli to occupy the best viewing position.
"Is it so good-looking?" Zhou Zhi and Wu Renzhong didn't go out, and they couldn't stand up when they went out. One sat in the driver's seat and the other in the passenger's seat. They turned on the chatting and spanking mode: "Why do women seem to be more competitive than others?" Are men still interested? Shama is on the roof of the car.”
"It's a competition." Wu Renzhong whispered: "They are all beauties. They are not convinced that other women are more beautiful than themselves. They all come up with a critical eye."
After speaking, he raised his index finger and pointed upward: "You are the one who wrote the article, you People often say that there is no first or second..."
"There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "But there is another saying, there is one thing in the eyes of a thousand people. Thousands of Hamlets, aesthetics are all in their own eyes..."
< br>At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and Wu Renzhong said: "Come out!"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhi also leaned out half of his body, using a very awkward posture to try to keep his sight A little taller, I noticed a pair on the stage dressed in traditional clothes The girls in national costumes, who were extraordinarily beautifully dressed, holding the black paper umbrellas of the Yi people, lined up in pairs, came out from the right side of the big stage, and then walked gracefully across the front of the stage, stopping every five in the middle of the stage, and then turned around Facing the audience, line up again and enter the backstage from the left.
There was probably a pair of judges in the audience giving scores.
Zhou Zhi could not maintain that weird posture for a long time. After telling the excited girls on the roof to be careful, he retracted his head and sat back on the passenger seat: "It seems that the makeup is quite thick. She is beautiful, but she doesn’t know what she really is.”
