Luo Tianwang floated up, and in the blink of an eye he had flown to the top of the towering tree. He stood on a tree next to Li Qingyuan, swaying slightly as the branches swayed up and down, and his body seemed to have no weight. Li Qingyuan
But I'm not surprised by this.
"What are you two father and son doing up in the tree? Why don't you come down quickly? Today there is a new rice tasting ceremony in the village, and the whole village has to participate. The time is almost up." Li Shishi shouted from under the tree.
"Mom, come up quickly, the fruits here are delicious." Li Qingyuan chuckled.
Li Shishi also walked up gracefully, like a fairy flying into the sky. She stopped on a branch as thick as a thumb next to Luo Tianwang. She took a fruit as white as jade from Li Qingyuan, wiped it with a handkerchief, and then
He took a small bite, tasted it, and immediately praised: "Well, this biscuit is indeed ripe."
Luo Tianwang held Li Qingyuan under his arm: "Let's go down. They must be waiting for us."
Li Shishi nodded, then took Luo Tianwang's hand, and the two of them flew into the air above the mountain top, walking through the clouds.
Ho Ma Wan is surrounded by white mist, like a fairyland on earth. Luo Baolin, Luo Guangfu and other elderly people seem to be getting younger and younger as they live. Not only does their hair not turn white, but it gradually decreases and becomes darker. The elderly people in the village who are over 100 years old already have one.
There are two, and there are five or six elderly people over ninety years old. The elderly could have enjoyed their old age, but people in the countryside just can't live idle. Luo Baolin, Luo Guangfu and other elderly people still go to the farm to work. Although farm work is tiring, but these
The old man was happy and happy.
Luo Tianwang took his wife and son to the canteen of Hemawan Farm, where the whole village had already gathered. The new rice tasting ceremony in Hemawan has become a fixed festival in Hemawan. The new rice tasting ceremony is different from other festivals.
A fixed date needs to be determined based on the maturity time of the rice, but this festival is of great significance to the people of Hemawan Village, because for Hemawan, the New Year Festival is not only a thank you to God for good weather, but
It is also a celebration of new life.
Today, Ho Ma Wan has long been a well-known wealthy village. Every household lives in a villa and every household has a new car. Every Ho Ma Wan person has begun to carry a kind of self-confidence. There has been a fundamental change in temperament.
Luo Shuigan saw Luo Tianwang's family rushing over and hurriedly came over to say hello: "Tianwang, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you. You have to host this ceremony today."
"Where can I be the host? Every day, the most respected old man in the village is the host. There are so many old people in the village, how can it be the turn of a young man like me?" Luo Tianwang said quickly.
"People in the village say that everything in Ho Ma Wan is because of you. You are the most virtuous and respected person in Ho Ma Wan. Although you are young, you cannot hide your contribution to the whole village. This time it has to be you."
Luo Shuigan said.
"Tianwang, it's all because of you that we old guys can enjoy the good life we have now. Everyone in the village knows it and sincerely admires you. We all agreed early on that you will host today's ceremony. Tianwang
Wang, don't let down everyone's hopes. Come on!" Luo Guangfu walked over, took Luo Tianwang's arm and pulled him to the stage.
At this time, Luo Tianwang could no longer object. He could only follow Luo Guangfu onto the stage and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Grandpa Guangfu, I don't know how to host a ceremony. You have to be there to hold the formation."
"If you want it, I'll tell you what to do. You must be the host." Luo Guangfu said.
The ritual of tasting new rice is very simple. It mainly involves offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, giving thanks to God, and hoping for good weather and prosperity for the country and the people. New rice is the new rice that has just been harvested from the plantation. After drying, it is the first batch of new rice processed with a rice mill. Unlike
In the past, the new rice tasting ceremony only involved pulling ears from the field, peeling a small amount of new millet, and getting some brown rice, which was cooked in old rice.
The new rice selected this time is the top-quality rice produced at the Five-Star Plantation in Ho Mawan. These rice have been bred at the Five-Star Plantation in Ho Mawan for several generations and are close to elixirs. The new rice produced from these rice is simply
It is not sold to outsiders so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Hemawan. The best rice sold by Hemawan is the product of Samsung Plantation, and the rice seeds used are not ordinary rice bred in the plantation.
Although the seeds and planted rice contain a certain concentration of spiritual energy, it is far from reaching the level of elixir. It is very beneficial to ordinary people, but for monks, it can only be said to be better than nothing.
Under the guidance of Luo Guangfu, Luo Tianwang finally completed the new rice tasting ceremony. The men and women of Ho Mawan began to prepare a banquet in the canteen of the plantation. All the ingredients used were from the plantation, and the cooking methods were also the same as those of Ho Mawan Village.
It is an old custom, but there are many new dishes, which are all learned by people from Ho Ma Wan from outside.
Luo Shenggui walked up to Luo Tianwang and said, "Tianwang, the new rice feast will begin soon. You and your sister-in-law can join the banquet together."
Luo Shenggui led Luo Tianwang's family to the head table, and Luo Tianwang said quickly: "This head table is always occupied by the oldest old man in the village. I can sit anywhere I want."
"Tianwang, you are the host today. Where is the host who doesn't sit at the front seat?" Luo Guangfu said with a smile, "Actually, there are not so many things to pay attention to now. You can sit anywhere. Everyone in the village hopes that you can sit at the front seat.
Xi, please don’t give in. Yuanyuan, do you like to sit at the head of the table?"
Li Qingyuan immediately said: "What are the benefits of sitting in the front seat?"
"There are many advantages to sitting at the front seat. When the food is served, the front seat is the first to eat everything. For other seats, you have to wait for the front seat to eat before you can use your chopsticks." Luo Guangfu said with a smile.
"Then I'll take the front seat. I want to be the first to eat." Li Qingyuan said.
Luo Changqing was also placed in the first seat. When talking about the situation in the village, Luo Changqing was very talkative: "Now every day in the village is like celebrating a festival. Our village is different every day, and now it is even more beautiful than the city. Many people have their heads sharpened thinking about it.
We come from the village. However, our village resolutely does not sell houses to outsiders unless they are married, and we resolutely do not accept foreign residents. In the past, there were some bachelors in the village who could not find a wife, but now all the girls from other villages want to marry from our village.
Young man, even old bachelors will not be spared."
In a mountain village like He Mawan, there are always some bachelors who can't get a wife. In the past, there were more than a dozen bachelors, old and young, in He Mawan Village. Now these bachelors have all got a wife. Not only have they got a wife, but they've also got a wife like a flower.
Some married people in the village began to be attracted by the beautiful yellow-flower girl. If it hadn't been for the dissuasion of village cadres such as Luo Changqing and the elders in the village, there would have been a batch of Chen Shimei.
