He Huan put his arm around a young man's shoulders and introduced them: "This is Ah Ba Jin, the lead singer from the last time I came to Shanhua Village."
Ah Bajin nodded, "I was born eight pounds."
Everyone laughed.
"This girl sang duet with me last time." He Huan looked at another girl.
"The name is Yisha." The girl announced her family name, "It means beautiful pearl in Chinese."
Liang Ange nodded, "It sounds really nice! Girls are more particular about naming names!"
"Hahaha……"
"Zi is the largest surname among the Yi people in Weishan and Nanjian." He Huan added.
It may be that they are more Chinese-speaking and speak Chinese more fluently than Bijiacun. They just have a slight accent, but they are easy to understand.
A group of people walked over under the leadership of Uncle Aza, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger.
They are not a courtyard, but an open courtyard facing the green mountains.
Seeing the little white dragon coming again, as well as big stars and experts, the villagers were very excited.
He Huan shook hands and hugged them. After a lively chat, Uncle Aza led them to sit down.
The tables are widely spaced in the middle. He Huan said: "This is to facilitate cooking later."
Liang Ange looked at the door excitedly.
"Nanjian is most famous not for playing songs, but for dancing. It is a unique music and dance form popular among the Yi people in the Wuliang Mountain area of Ailao Mountain.
It is also called plate-carrying dance or vegetable-carrying dance. It is a supreme dish-serving etiquette. Generally, vegetable dancing is only performed during major celebrations and when welcoming important guests."
Experts are looking forward to it and feel that it is highly valued.
"Cai dancing, like Da Ge, was both popular during the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the music and dance steps of vegetable dance are the same as Da Ge. However, the vegetables have to be carried, so there is an element of acrobatics.
If the dishes are spilled or the bowl is dropped during the dance, it is very unlucky. Therefore, this skill needs to be taught by a master. If you train hard for a long time, you will be a real folk artist!
Because of this etiquette, their weddings and festivals became more lively. They started dancing from the moment the food was served, and continued singing after the meal until dawn. Therefore, Nanjian is also known as the place of vegetable dancing.
Township."
Everyone nodded.
After chatting for a while, I saw Uncle Aza carrying a big drum into the yard, banging it and shouting: "On the way!"
He Huan asked the experts to sit on three sides and give up the side facing the edge.
Explained: "No matter how many tables are arranged for the banquet, guests can only sit on three sides, which are called six-person seats. There is a passage in the middle, which is specially used as a passage for the vegetable carriers to dance."
Everyone nodded, and then they understood why Aza arranged for six of them to share a table.
Two men walked to the middle of the field, played the three-stringed string instrument, and danced to the tune of the dishes. They led the waiter to the door of the kitchen and nodded to the dancer inside, Fenghuang San.
Several men came on stage again, trombones, reeds, bamboo flutes sounded, drums blared, and the vegetable dance team filed out of the kitchen to the beat.
Even before everyone had eaten, their appetites were already whetted, and they responded with warm applause.
The vegetable dancing team was encouraged. They raised their hands, supported their arms, held their mouths, and held various dishes on their heads. They slowly arrived at the banquet with two steps and four steps.
The audience only saw the dishes in the bowl jumping up and down, and they were extremely excited.
The waiters were all women. They were obviously leading the way, but they were leading the way backwards, waving their handkerchiefs, dancing and teasing them, making faces and making weird faces. They were all very humorous and made the audience laugh.
The men on the vegetable carrying team suppressed their laughter and responded to the teasing with dance steps. They danced back and forth, but the vegetables were still carried steadily.
Liang Ange laughed and said, "It's so tolerable! If I were to hold a bowl, I wouldn't be able to hold it after being teased like this!"
Qin Kong nodded, "You don't need to be teased to make me laugh."
The experts laughed, having seen how low the laughter point of elves is!
Liang Ange pinched him.
He Huan said with a smile: "This is indeed a test of not only skills, but also endurance. The purpose of the dance is to enhance the atmosphere, to be blunt and funny! I hope the guests will laugh. Those with a low laughter point will be eliminated at the first level."
The villagers and experts were all amused and laughed. The vegetable team also became more and more energetic to tease them. The experts were both funny and felt sorry for the vegetable team.
The vegetable dancing team responded to the dance steps of the vegetable ushering team, twisting and turning, so that the vegetables danced in the bowl but did not jump out. People have to admire their superb skills!
Really worthy of being a folk artist!
Arriving at the table, the waiter nodded, the waiter bent his knees and squatted half-crouch, the waiter tucked the handkerchief into his waist, picked up the dishes on the tray and put them on the table.
The guests truly felt what the highest serving etiquette is! Seeing that they successfully brought the dishes after overcoming many obstacles, the experts also breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but applaud them.
The men who were dancing stood up and left with smiles on their faces.
When they came out of the square table, the experts were so excited that they stood up and their palms turned red.
Liang Ange said: "It's incredible to see them carrying things on their heads today. I never thought they could hold a table with their teeth!"
Everyone nodded. There were many bowls of food on the table, and they were jumping around while eating.
It's really acrobatics! My teeth hurt when I saw it, and I admire them even more!
Then came the stacked Arhats. Applause was no longer enough, and the elves took the lead in cheering.
The whole audience cheered, and even before the dish was eaten, their throats were already drying up!
When the Arhats came down and the table was full, Uncle Aza beat the drum again: "Let's have dinner!"
Liang Ange covered his heart, "I can't eat anymore."
"Why?" He Huan asked.
"I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest!"
He Huan said with a smile: "Have a glass of wine to calm down!"
Uncle Aza has put down the drum and raised his glass, "On behalf of Shanhua Village, I welcome the Xiaobailong Music Group!"
The surrounding villagers sang drinking songs together, and no one could refuse the Yi people’s toast, because it was so lively! So bold! I loved it so much!
The experts all raised their glasses and everyone drank.
The frightened elf immediately stretched out his chopsticks to the divided roasted black goat, "Uh-huh..."
"Uh huh huh..." There were voices like this all around.
He Huanxiao looked at them, "If this variety show doesn't cut out parts later, I'm afraid the audience will drool while watching it."
The experts had no time to spare and nodded in agreement.
He Huan looked at the photographers who were standing by once again taking pictures and swallowing their saliva, "That's what Yunzhou's ethnic minorities are like. Music, dance, food, history and culture, and natural scenery are all integrated."
"Yeah!" The experts nodded and continued eating.
In addition to roasted goat, there are also Wuliangshan ham, Wuliangshan black-bone chicken, beef, mushrooms... In short, the treasures of Wuhua Tianbao are all on the table!
After eating for a while, He Huan looked at the photographers. They were the ones who had the hardest time and were the most pitiful!
"Come and eat! It's impossible for the audience to watch us finish our meal! What a torture it would be for them!"
The experts laughed and said: "Yes, yes!"
Uncle Aza hurriedly arranged for them to sit down. The photographers stuffed a mouthful of roast mutton into their mouths and their eyes filled with tears. Director He was much more humane than Director Chen!
After eating this thrilling banquet, everyone, led by Uncle Aza, went to Pingba on the tea garden in the village.
During the tea-picking season, it is used as a drying ground, and during festivals it is used as a singing ground.
The bonfire was lit in the field, and the red clouds on the mountainside shone brightly, as if they were in the sky.
