Chapter 1039 1039. Join in the fun
It is said to be the village next door, but in fact it takes nearly 20 minutes just to drive there.
The mountain road is winding. Only the main road newly built this year is an asphalt road. The rest is full of potholes. Even if the drivers are skilled, Lao Zhu and others will inevitably have a few bumps.
But everyone was very happy, and those sitting in the same car started chatting——
“It feels like I haven’t eaten this in years!”
"Yes! I loved to eat it when I was a kid. I wouldn't stop eating it until it's foaming in my mouth."
"My family was poor back then, so I only made it during the Chinese New Year to entertain people when they came over."
>"I even put it on my fingers and ate it..."
"When I was in elementary school, we used this to fight in the class. If it fell on the floor, we would blow it and still eat it..."
"And that What do you call rice popsicles when the rice explodes into individual grains? ”
"We call it fried rice!"
"We call it rice pops. In the morning in winter, we soak a large bowl and add a spoonful of sugar, but we can't stand it! The bowl is full, but once the water softens, all that's left is The surface is thin and I can’t get enough of it.”
“Nonsense! The rice grains we have are fried and crispy to the touch!”
Xiao Du is in front! Driving the car, listening to the lively conversation of the old men in the back seat, I couldn't help but smile.
If nothing else, this rice pole seems to be everyone’s childhood memory, and he also loves to eat it!
I'm worried now, the old man is eating so much here, I'll go back and check again after the pig-killing feast...
Oh! Hard to say.
In the car ahead, Party Secretary Xiao Zhu was also puzzled: "Forty kilograms of rice is enough for me to cook for half a day. Why don't you just have people come to your door to do it? Why bother taking so many people so far. "
Song Tan laughed: "People in our village haven't come back yet, so what's the point of having a lively life in front of our house?"
"Besides, the old man has just arrived, what's the point? Why don’t we find some excitement to keep them entertained for two days? I’m afraid they’ll have to help with things like cleaning up the dishes and moving the tables, chairs and benches.”
Xiaozhu Party Secretary: ...
She said in her heart that you are quite brave enough to do it!
Little did they know that Song Tan was also from a well-off family - Xiao Zhu, the party secretary, probably had an unusual family. Her grandfathers all had assistants, so they must be pampered and pampered every day.
For those who are rich, free, old and have nothing to do, arrange some small tasks for them to help out. Not only will they have a sense of participation, but they will also be lively and happy!
What's more, there are assistants here. If you really can't do it, they will definitely help.
In this way, wouldn't it be easy to integrate? It also saves you the hassle of wandering around in mountain villages and looking boring.
She learned a lot about this from her grandma.
Song Tan himself was also very interested when it came to this: "Their village is quite close to Songshu Town, and there are many people. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and there are festivals every three to five. You haven't visited this big shop in such a long time since you've been in the village. Collect?”
“Come and show me something!”
……
The reason why Pine Tree Town is called Pine Tree Town is because the large mountain forest is full of dense pine trees - of course, they are not the ones in the Northeast that can bear pine nuts. Many of them only bear empty towers and are not very big.
On the other side of the woods connecting to Songshu Town is Xiaosong Village, which is better developed than Yunqiao Village.
It is said to be a village, but whenever there is a Chinese New Year market, there are even more stalls here than in Songshu Town, where not many people live, and it is especially lively.
Now that Song Tan was driving over, he could see a large area of prosperous stalls spreading in front of him from a long distance, which was extremely lively. The old man's group had not been to such a large gathering in the countryside for many years. When they got off the car, everyone showed smiles that they had never seen in the world.
The vendor selling Spring Festival couplets at the stall next to him looked at the three Audi cars behind him curiously, and also opened his mouth to ask enthusiastically:
"Oh, this is a good car! It's still a brand from the Imperial Capital..." Brother, it’s weird for your kid to be out there now! Why don’t you buy a big couplet during the Chinese New Year?”
Ah, the vendor at the village market was so direct, Lao Zhu paused before answering. Said: "It's not even the Laba Festival yet, why have you started selling couplets?"
"What's the point!" The vendor was very free and easy: "We started selling the couplets when the twelfth lunar month came here - come on, come on, Look, there is gold dust in my couplet. The children have become successful, and my hometown must be prosperous!”
“Come on, let’s pick some!”
Lao Zhu:...
Ah this, ah this, the atmosphere is really hot, even the sales are pretty hot, how about...
Song Tan just brought the rice over, turned around and saw They hesitated to speak, but couldn't help laughing:
"Ouch! What's the hurry! Shopping first before buying - let's go and buy something in front!"
Lian The rushers pushed people forward like they were chasing chickens. The vendors behind were not in a hurry, but still shouted enthusiastically:
"Remember to look for me when you come back after shopping! I'll give you a real price here!"
The one in front is selling candy rice sticks. This thing is also a childhood memory. Lao Zhu and others didn't pay attention and looked at it more. After a few glances, Xiao Du and the others were frightened.
It’s not a question of whether it’s clean or not, but some old men can’t eat such things. They have headaches and fever, and it’s hard to get medical treatment in the countryside...
Song Tan didn’t give it. Their opportunity: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. There are more things ahead. Compare prices, so you can bargain later."
Lao Yang, who talked little, was immersed in the atmosphere at the moment, and was dizzy by the prosperous atmosphere from all directions. , I couldn’t help but sigh at this moment:
"The flavor of the New Year is so strong this year!"
Qiao Qiao shook her head: "No, today is a big gathering every half month. This is what Xiaosong Village does every New Year."
“Usually the market is in the morning...but I rarely come here. We all go to the market in the town.”
“The market is only lively in the morning. I can’t walk, so crowded. Too many. "
The town he is talking about is Qingxi Town, where Yunqiao Village belongs. It is slightly less prosperous than here, but it is slightly closer and can be reached by bike in half an hour.
Unlike here, the drive takes nearly half an hour.
On the other hand, Party Secretary Xiao Zhu sighed: "Nowadays, the rural population is small, and people come back to celebrate the New Year with fewer holidays, so the flavor of the New Year is actually nothing, but this collection is still so prosperous."
< br>This is much more lively than the mountains!
Especially the things sold by small stalls and vendors, it feels like they haven’t changed much in decades. When these old men who are several decades older get together to comment, they can still find things in their own memories!
On the other hand, Song Tan was walking when she saw someone selling fried dumplings in front of her. The golden fried dumplings had just come out of the pan, and there was a burst of crispy fragrance in all directions. She quickly stopped: < br>
"Qiaoqiao, go and ask for a price."
Turn around and ask the old man Tiantuan behind him: "Master Jiang spread a large field of spinach on the edge of the ditch around the factory. It's an old variety. , said he wanted to eat some spinach soup. "
"Do you want to eat it? I'll buy more. It's fine as a snack. "
Good afternoon, update. one. My mother came, and there were other relatives in the morning, so we were delayed for a while.
We are in the urban area, and as soon as the twelfth lunar month has just entered, some people have started selling couplets...
