624. Yi peoples vegetable dance(2/2)
One is salty and fresh after a long period of precipitation, and the other is sweet and refreshing when spring comes.
After wandering around the small county town for a day and tasting noodles worth seven or eight yuan, big buns worth one or two yuan, and fried potatoes worth three yuan and one yuan, Li Xiao decided to leave this small town.
Maybe this place is suitable for retirement?
With this in mind, Li Xiao took Tuanzi and drove south.
There is a river along the road, which I heard is the source of the Red River.
Further south, we reach Nanjian.
Nanjian is a place where the Yi people gather. As soon as Li Xiao's location was updated on the social platform, fans immediately invited Li Xiao to visit his home.
Li Xiao originally planned to refuse, but the fan said that his family was an authentic Yi ethnic group, and if he didn't go, he wouldn't be able to see the ethnic minority customs here.
After Li Xiao thought for a moment...
I took the dumplings to buy gifts.
Finally, I carried my big and small bags and headed to this fan’s home.
As soon as he entered the village, Li Xiao used his ability to look up the taboos and customs of the Yi people.
To prevent yourself from committing taboos and attracting disgust from others.
After all, I am a guest, and it would be bad if I accidentally violate any taboos.
The Yi people have many taboos, generally speaking they are as follows.
"The Yi people are taboo to light torches and walk around during the day, and are taboo to light two torches one after another from the house. They are taboo to break branches in front of others, spit, beat chickens, dogs, chop brooms, and beat others when they have enmity.
Headband. Do not use compliments such as "fat", "heavy" or "beautiful" for babies. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, do not cross the fire pit. When you are a guest in a Yi home, you cannot sit under or to the left of piles of things or sleeping berths.
Eat horse, mule, dog, cat, monkey, snake, frog and other meat.”
In addition, there are other more complex taboos, but since they are not commonly used, I will not go into details here.
Perhaps because of Li Xiao's good luck, when he came, he happened to encounter a banquet of the Yi people.
Li Xiao's fans were originally going to entertain Li Xiao at their own homes, but now that they have a banquet, how can they not go and experience it?
Moreover, the Yi people are warm and hospitable. Li Xiao came to visit with gifts, and even one more person came to have a wedding banquet, which was considered a blessing.
After obtaining the host's consent, Li Xiao took a seat at the table.
The Nanjian Yi people have a very special custom when it comes to banquets.
That means when serving food, you have to dance while serving it.
The Yi people are a nation that is good at singing and dancing. The singing and dancing of the Yi people come from the same clan.
It is a special way of serving food among the Yi people, and it is also the highest etiquette of the Yi people's banquets.
The Yi people have a long history of vegetable dancing, which adds a joyful and peaceful atmosphere to the banquet.
"Nanjian County" where Li Xiao is now located was awarded the "Hometown of Folk Dancing Art" by the Ministry of Culture in 2003. Here, almost every household invites others to dance the banquet.
Everyone sat on their own seats. The table was a short, square table, and the stools were long benches that could accommodate two people.
There were eight people sitting at a table. As soon as Li Xiao finished cooking, he heard the person in charge shouting, and suddenly the music started.
Two "vegetable dancing" chefs came out of the kitchen one after another, with trays on their heads and holding trays in their hands. The trays were filled with vegetable bowls. Amidst the sound of music that was rising and falling, rushing and slowing, they were dancing.
One after another, swaying one after another, and slowly entering the stage with gentle and agile steps according to the beat of the music.
Li Xiao started the live broadcast with the permission of the host. The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Where is the anchor now?"
"I haven't seen my husband for a long time, and I miss me so much!"
"Didn't the anchor say that he went to a Yi village for a meal? What is the situation now?"
"There's nothing on the table? Hey, why are those two men carrying trays on their heads?"
“Not only is there a tray on my head, but there are also vegetables in the tray?!”
"What are you doing? Are you performing acrobatics?"
"I'm so scared. I hope their performance will be successful!"
"With so many delicious dishes, it must be a success, otherwise what will the guests eat?"
"Wow, look, they are coming towards us."
"Is this a dinner party or a performance? Why is there such loud music next to it? Why is there nothing on the table?"
"The food is all in that tray!"
