Chapter 5 Rural Drinking Ceremony
Snake bones were placed all over the place in the sun drying area. Many farmers were pointing around the drying area, and a few brave children actually played around the snake skulls.
Seeing that there were a lot of people, Zhao Yuanli announced loudly that the owner of the village would invite everyone to come to the drying ground to have a snake feast in the evening, so that the villagers would notify each other, and there was thunderous cheers.
Zhao Zhen asked the bankers to disperse and go about their business.
Zhao Zhen picked up a snake bone, shaped like a bow arm, and turned to Zhao Yuanli to ask a bonesmith to see if he could make a bone bow.
The skull was inlaid with a handle to make a shield; the small teeth in the mouth were made into arrowheads, and the larger ones were made into daggers.
Today, four large stoves were built in the kitchen next to the drying area, and large pieces of snake meat were cooked in the cauldron.
Although the food for more than 600 people is only snake meat, the quantity is sufficient, and it is of a high standard. This is the first time since the establishment of Xixi Village.
The main table is even more thoughtful, with a wide variety of dishes, including frying, cooking, steaming and stewing...
The women from each family also came early to help, lighting the fire, watching the stove, and setting the table. Tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks were placed, and nearly seventy tables were placed around the bonfire in the middle.
The honorable ones are in front, the humble ones are behind, the elders are in order, the younger ones are in order, no matter the noble or the humble.
At the You hour, the bonfire was lit, Zhao Zhen and Guang Hui finally walked into the drying field, and the farmers cheered.
Zhao Zhen went to the main table and asked Guang Hui to sit across from him. A guest from the village had already come to sift the wine, and Zhao Zhen raised a bowl of wine: "There is a wise man named Guang Hui who killed snake monsters. Now he lives in Xixi Village and is hired as the head coach of the local braves. Later he trains the local braves and protects the village. Congratulations... ·"
Everyone raised wine to toast Guanghui. Guanghui picked up the wine bowl, drank it in one gulp, and greeted everyone around.
Everyone cheered and raised their glasses.
So again and again.
World Feedback:
Guanghui felt the warm reception of Xixi Village, which touched her heart, and her loyalty to you increased.
You successfully held the village drinking ceremony, and the villagers witnessed Guanghui's feat of killing snakes. Their sense of security increased, their work efficiency increased, and their recognition of you increased significantly.
After drinking and drinking for an hour, everyone started to make their own meals. The dealers also toasted to the main table according to their status.
The first class is the eight stewards, who come forward one by one with their respective dealers.
Zhao Zhen also took the opportunity to check the attributes of these bankers one by one. However, there was no one who stood out. The 15 points of a single attribute that would make him a professional are far from each other.
These people have no special talents, no systematic training, no adventure, and they are just ordinary people in this life.
After that, the elders of each surname came forward to toast in order.
Zaihou Village School taught Sun Zheng to come and pay respects. Zhao Zhen took a look and found that Sun Zheng's spirit had reached 14. He was the only person in Xixi Village who was close to becoming a professional. The other one was Zhao Ji, the leader of the nursing home, whose strength was 14.

This Sun Zhengnai lived in Xixi Village when the old village owner was still alive. When he arrived, he was wearing a tattered robe and was hungry and cold. The old manor owner took him in.
Because he said he had the reputation of being a scholar, he was hired as a professor in the village school.
Sun Zheng is wearing a long gown, which is different from the short brown clothes of other villagers. It is made of fine cloth, with a round collar and large sleeves. It has only been washed white, which shows that Sun Zheng's family is not rich.
As the most important means of production, land is in the hands of Zhao Zhen, and there are few wealthy households in Xixi villages. The poor rent houses, and some also rent plows, loaves, hoes, shovels, and sickles; the rich buy houses, and some raise cattle at home. There are only more than ten households in the village...
"Sun Jiao Yu’s hard work pays off. These naughty boys rely on Yu’s instruction. I will pay a visit to the school someday.”
"Baozheng, the former owner of the old village lent all the books in the study to the village school. One copy of the classics and history collection has been copied and stored in the village school. The rest have also been dried and sorted. Baozheng can ask the servants to take them away."
Seeing that Zhao Zhen agreed, Sun Zheng bowed his hands and sat down among the clan elders. He had a pleasant conversation with the clan elders.
Zhao Zhenyuan also muttered that there was not a single book in the study. It turned out that they were all in the village school.
Sun Zheng, who is about to awaken, is still worth investing in. Trying to win over him before he becomes a professional will show more sincerity than after he becomes a professional.
Regarding the art of controlling the fantasy world, it is also a compulsory course in county schools. Although Zhao Zhen has average talent in this area and has no family background, he can't help but watch what others do.
Guanghui is really full of wine, and the wine will be dry.
The dealers saw Guanghui's ability in removing snakes, especially the fishermen, and they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and they all toasted three glasses in a row.
Guang Hui had never received such warm hospitality before. He drank happily, stepped down from his seat, and performed all the Arhat boxing techniques in front of the bonfire.
But Guanghui's shot was like an arrow, and his hand was like silk. He succeeded in one move and attacked continuously. Separate, force, rush, dodge, point, lift, press, hook, copy, and throw, everything is exquisite, soaring, rolling, sweeping, and flicking are quick and powerful. Follow each other up and down, the steps change with the hands, the strength and softness are combined.
There were bursts of cheers on the sunbathing field, and the cheers got louder and louder.
Unknowingly, Zhao Zhen received feedback from the world
The farmers were infected by Guanghui, and the people's hearts improved slightly...
Zhao Zhen took advantage of this village drinking ceremony, I have recognized all the dealers, but unfortunately there is no one who stands out. In the entire Xixi Village, only the children in the village have not passed the inspection of their attributes.
Zhao Zhen plans to go to the village school tomorrow to pick up books, win over Sun Zheng, and see if the children in the village have any talent.
After some calculation, tomorrow is the 8th day that I have entered the fantasy world. It is time to return to the main world...
A sudden burst of loud cheers interrupted Zhao Zhen's thoughts. Zhao Zhen looked up and saw that it was indeed In the middle of the drying area, Guanghui dragged 10 strong men to move slowly. The dealers in the field cheered loudly, bringing the atmosphere to the climax.
The next day
Zhao Zhen watched Guanghui embark on the road to the county seat, accompanied by Zhao Ji and six bankers.
At the same time, Zhao Yuanli also went with the team. Zhao Zhen asked to buy spirits, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea cloth and other sundries and general merchandise, as well as special products and foreign objects in the county, and recruit some tenant craftsmen.
After the arrangements were made, Zhao Zhen took two villagers to the village school.
One person holds a piece of white muslin and one piece of green muslin; each person carries a basket of fresh persimmons.
Before entering the village school, you can hear the sound of children reading loudly from the village school.
Zhao Zhen entered the yard and saw a stone table and four stone benches placed under the only large locust tree in the yard. Sun Zheng was reading with gusto while holding a book.
Sun Zhengcai was startled when Zhao Zhen came closer. Seeing that it was Zhao Zhen, he stood up and saluted. Zhao Zhen handed over the gift. Sun Zheng did not refuse, but only expressed thanks.
After chatting for a long time, Zhao Zhen was introduced into the classroom.
Zhao Zhen is not afraid of the stage. He chats casually with the naughty boy and inadvertently explores the child's attributes. He is slightly higher in spirit than the tenant, but not as strong and physically strong. There are no very prominent figures.
Zhao Zhen casually chatted with some of the children with the highest attributes, and then left the classroom.
Zhao Zhen asked Sun Zheng: "Professor Sun, what courses are available in the village school?"
"The village owner, currently in "Elementary School", first learn "Three Hundred Thousand", "Three Character Classic" ", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Thousand-Character Essay", and then study "Disciple Rules", "Three Hundred Poems", and "Enlightenment of Rhythm"
"At present, I can only remember these six volumes clearly and write them down silently for enlightenment. The rest, such as "Zengguang Xianwen", "Guwen Guanzhi", "Qianjia Shi", etc., all need to be purchased by the owner. Currently, only "Li" is included in the classics and history collection. "Records of Filial Piety", "New Songs of Yuefu" and "The Analects of Confucius", I have copied a copy to keep in the school." It’s just for entertainment and useless for studying. If the owner gets the new scriptures, I’d like to lend them to you. I’d be very grateful.”
Zhao Zhen nodded in response and promised to do so in the future. Purchase more books to enrich village schools and cultivate talents.
Sun Zheng thanked him profusely and expressed his willingness to do whatever he could for the village owner in the future besides teaching.
