The Taoist priest was busy baking glutinous rice cakes, so he didn't have time to listen to what the adults were saying. He carefully put a few bamboo sticks on the charcoal fire to build a shelf, then placed a glutinous rice cake on it, pinched it with his hands from time to time, and turned it over.
On the one hand, I am afraid that the glutinous rice cake will be burnt. In these days, food is too precious. Glutinous rice is a rare item, and this glutinous rice cake is also extremely rare.
Although it was very hot here in Zaokeng, the director didn't care at all. Beads of sweat quickly fell down his face, leaving traces of marks on the face of the director.
After waiting for a long time, the glutinous rice cake finally gave off the fragrance of browned grains. I squeezed the glutinous rice cake with my little hands and it became soft. The Taoist priest finally showed a smile on his face.
The surface of the glutinous rice cake is roasted brown, and it is very crisp when you bite it. It is very fragrant when you eat it. The inside of the glutinous rice cake is very sticky. There is no need to add sugar or any other seasonings. It is just the original flavor of the glutinous rice cake.
The taste was perfect. The Taoist priest broke off half of it and gave it to the master.
"Master, the glutinous rice cake is delicious."
The old Taoist was so happy to see his disciple's filial piety that he narrowed his eyes with laughter: "Master doesn't like to eat glutinous rice cake, so Xing'er eats it by himself."
"Master, let's eat." The young Taoist priest refused to do it. He felt that such delicious food must be eaten with the old Taoist priest.
"Taoist priest, the little Taoist priest is so filial." Zhang Fangqing said sincerely.
"Haha. This kid doesn't leave anything behind for me." There was a hint of pride in the old Taoist priest's words.
Zhang Fangqing and others sat here in Lao Dao for a while, and then went to the mountains to cut down trees.
The old Taoist asked them to finish cutting down the trees and come over to have a meal before going back down the mountain. This time Zhang Fangqing did not agree.
"Taoist Priest, we will drag the tree back along the mountain stream later," Zhang Fangqing said.
"How can you delay it after it's just been chopped down?" the old Taoist asked puzzledly.
"The last time we came here, we cut a batch and it was left to dry on the mountain without dragging it back. This time, we just dragged back what we cut last time and cut another batch. It won't be long before we have to choose a place to build the school. How about the Taoist priest?
Show us a good place for our team. This school is very tight." Xiao Dajiang said.
The old Taoist waved his hands repeatedly: "Nowadays, the purpose of public schools is to engage in science. I went to see the place. Isn't it engaging in feudal superstition? If anyone takes advantage of this matter in the future, I, the old Taoist priest, will be in trouble."
Zhang Fangqing nodded: "The commune cadres said that after the school is built, we in Xianjiqiao Village will also open night schools in the future, and those of us who are good at hoes will also learn culture and science. It is better not to trouble the Taoist priest about this matter."
It’s hard to talk about what’s going to happen in the future.”
Zhang Fangqing is also one of the few visionaries in Xianji Bridge.
Not long after, Xianjiqiao began to build a school. Several brigade cadres in Xianjiqiao directly decided on this matter. No one decided to invite the immortal or the Taoist priest to come and take a look at the house. In fact, it was hard to see.
It doesn't matter whether you look at it or not. To put it in a wise way, this school is a public place. The public place brings the good luck of the public and ordinary evil spirits dare not invade it.
The old Taoist also took his disciples down the mountain to see the school construction scene. Hundreds of people from the whole village were mobilized at the same time. The scene was really spectacular. A low mountain was razed to the ground in a few days.
"Each grade has one class. There are five classrooms. Let's make some more plans and build six classrooms. In addition, we need to prepare rooms for the lecturers. There is a model in the primary school in this town. I will go to the town tomorrow.
, measure the dimensions. Fang Qing, you are a plasterer, I will leave this matter to you," Zhou Maolin said.
Zhang Fangqing responded directly. He is the most skilled plasterer in Xianji Bridge. He is the master who built this school. All the plasterers in the village obey his command. If anything happens in the future, they will naturally find him as the master.
On the head.
In fact, there are no other benefits for this master worker. Whether he is a master worker or an assistant worker, he gets the same work points. Since they are all working under communism, they naturally eat from a big pot and distribute it equally.
Zhou Maolin saw the old Taoist coming with his disciples, and greeted him politely: "Taoist Master, originally I was going to call you to come over and help look at the school's premises. Then I thought about it and found a random place."
"This place is good, this place is good. It is a place that is outstanding. The school was built by the public, and it is originally the great luck road of the public. If you build it anywhere, it can make the place prosperous. I came here just to bring Xing'er here
Look, he will also come to school to study in the future." said the old Taoist.
"The little Taoist priest also comes to study? Okay, okay. It's time to study." Zhou Maolin said.
Zhou Maolin was so busy that he was in charge of the construction of the primary school, both inside and outside. He was so busy that he hurried away after saying a few words.
"Disciple, what do you think of this school?" the old Taoist asked.
"How do I know whether this school is good or not?" The little Taoist priest looked at the holes dug everywhere and frowned. There was nothing interesting at all.
As soon as Zhang Xilai saw the little Taoist priest, he immediately rushed over: "Little Taoist priest, do you want to go catch fish with me?"
"Okay, Master, Xi Lai and I are going to catch fish," the little Taoist leader said happily.
"Go, go," said the old Taoist. He just met Zhang Fangqing and agreed to go to his house for dinner.
Zhang Xilai has a bamboo steamer at home, which is a fishing gear specially used by Xianjiqiao farmers to catch small fish in the ditch. It is easy to operate and can be used immediately.
Zhang Xilai and the Taoist priest each carried a fish basket, and the other carried a bamboo steamer. They also took a triangular tool made of bamboo, with many bamboo rings on the triangular bamboo.
There is a stream in the middle of the rice fields in Xianjiqiao. The water in the stream is not very big and the flow is very gentle. But you can see that there are many small fish playing in the water.
Although Zhang Xilai is only a little over a year older than Xiaodao, he has a lot of fishing experience. He chose a very narrow place in the creek and lowered the bamboo steamer against the water flow. He blocked both sides to let the stream flow.
It could only flow down through the bamboo steamer. After fixing the bamboo steamer, Xilai pulled the trail leader upstream: "Let's go catch the fish together."
Only then did the Taoist realize the use of the triangle made of bamboo. It turned out that if one side of the triangle was placed in the water, and the bamboo was pulled up and down continuously, the bamboo triangle would move up and down in the water, and those bamboo circles would be formed in the water.
The fish in the water will be frightened by the loud noise and move down the river. The two people took turns holding the bamboo triangle to catch the fish until they arrived at the bamboo steamer. Xilai quickly raised the bamboo steamer and immediately heard a splash inside.
The ground kept ringing and the movement was very loud.
"Wow! There are so many fish!" The Taoist priest looked into the bamboo steamer and was shocked. He saw all kinds of small fish, loach, crucian carp, and eel in the bamboo steamer. He got half of the fish at once.
