Chapter 58: Release Ceremony [Asking for Everything]
On Sunday, Li Feng got up early. Zhang Lan made a simple breakfast, rice porridge, steamed buns, and a few side dishes. It was very refreshing. After the family finished eating, Zhang Lan went over first with a bucket, and Li Shan accompanied a few others.
Old man, Li Feng first went to the peach grove. There were more people coming today, so he wanted to pick more peaches.
There are not many peaches left on some peach trees. Only the outermost peach trees have more peaches. I picked a lot yesterday afternoon and I plan to pick more today.
Lin Ying was feeding the rabbit at the moment. The little rabbit had grown quite happy and energetic these days. She watched Li Feng holding the bamboo basket and jumping around at his feet, completely ignoring Lin Ying holding the grass, which made Lin Ying mutter dissatisfied.
, little white-eyed wolf.
"I already picked three bamboo baskets yesterday, why do I have to pick them again today?" Yesterday afternoon, the whole family went out together, each with a basket, and the little furball also carried a plastic bag, to pick peaches. Unfortunately, I picked two and ate one.
, fell one, Li Feng looked at the black line on his head, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he kicked this guy off.
"There are many people today. Last night the city radio station made a news introduction about the Lijiagang release ceremony. There are many people here today. I'm afraid I won't have time if I'm busy." Li Feng listened to what Li Shan said yesterday. This time it was quite big. He said
There may be city leaders coming." Li Feng felt in his heart that it was unlikely that the city leaders would come. However, Li Jiagang has been in the news several times in a row. Maybe there will be more than a hundred people today. Most of his peaches are already seven ripe. This honey
Peaches are the most difficult to store. Here at least all the inner trees have been picked, leaving only a few outside ones to attract attention.
Li Feng was picking peaches here, and Lin Ying went into the house to change clothes and go to Hetan Pier to prepare for the reception. She was the director of the reserve. Although he was only in name only. He had no actual power, but the leader was here now and he was determined to welcome him.
Yes, it is an opportunity for leaders to express condolences to their subordinates.
Now the skin color of the root of the peach has turned into off-white, and half of the tip has a blush. The tip of the peach has become soft. When the skin is torn open, it is full of honey-sweet peach juice. The flesh is pink, with a hint of milky white, and has a delicate fragrance.
, the whole peach forest courtyard is filled with a strong peach fragrance. The faint floral fragrance of the lotus can't be smelled if you don't pay close attention.
The peaches were placed carefully and the yard was locked. Not many people came here now. The deer had eaten the grass. Li Feng shut the little flowers into the yard. There were many people coming today and it was chaotic. Li Feng thought it was better to be careful. He
Don't let this family fortune be lost.
Finally, I looked at a small pond next to the lotus pond. There were a few small fish living freely in it. These were spring water added to the pond, and they were raising pufferfish. The baby pufferfish inside were quite comfortable. Lin Ying was afraid at first that they would not survive after feeding.
It was really good to cover it. Li Feng picked a few lotus leaves and covered it with him to prevent others from taking advantage of him. Maybe someone would know him.
The day before yesterday, I wanted to catch a big pufferfish for a tooth festival, but who knew that I caught hundreds of kilograms of small fish and shrimps in two days, and not even a pufferfish fry was found. Not to mention, several of my cages were bitten to pieces. Maybe.
His small cages were not durable, and the things in the river were powerful. What depressed Li Feng the most was that he caught a few tortoises and a turtle, but he actually released the turtle by himself.
Today Li Feng led the turtle and wandered to the river beach. Today's ceremony was held at the old wharf. The old wharf was once a place where ferries and fishing boats docked. It was built with bluestones. Now it is a bit dilapidated. The bluestones are covered with moss and are gone.
The clear oily shine of the past. In the distance, Li Feng stood on the slope and looked at the pier. There were already many people and a few wooden boats were going back and forth on the river. Such a scene had not been seen in more than ten years. The uncle was very patient and asked Li Feng one after another.
Kouzi created a wooden boat ferry, which was quite new.
Li Kouzi and Li Jiagang belong to the same family, no more than five relatives. During the Republic of China, the two brothers lived separately. There are quite a few stories here. I don’t remember much now, but Li Feng was walking with Grandpa Turtle, who was crawling slowly.
"Third brother, what are you doing?" The second child and four or five six- or seven-year-old children stared at the turtle in Li Feng's hand with eyes wide open. They were curious, and the little guys were timid and peeked.
.
"Xiao Maotou, you guys call me uncle." The second child looked like an elder, loudly scolding the boy next to him with his eyes wide open and wiping his nose from time to time. He looked like a leader.
"Third...Uncle." Li Feng nodded, but he felt depressed in his heart. Except for Xiao Maotou, the eldest son of the third uncle's family, Da Maowa, and the one next to him was Li Changlin's son. The rest were unknown to him. He looked at them.
Several people stared at him curiously, feeling quite a bit sad that his boss had returned home after a long time away from home. His local accent had changed and no one could recognize him.
"Release animals, what did you guys do?" Li Feng asked casually as he looked at the people holding bottles and cans.
"Mine is a loach." "I am a little snake." "I am a crab." "Mine, mine is a four-legged snake. You see it is red." The youngest child next to him jumped and held up his can bottle.
A red four-legged snake.
"Who caught this for you?" Li Feng was startled. This thing is highly poisonous. Normally gray or gray-blue four-legged snakes are not very poisonous and timid, but this red-blooded four-legged snake can eat
Scorpions and centipedes are extremely poisonous. If the bite is not treated in time, the mortality rate is very high.
"Uncle Yao helped me catch it." This boy, Cong Ha'er, the grandson of the fifth uncle, pointed at the second child and said loudly.
"Second child, you want to be beaten, right? If you dare to let him take this thing, give it to me." Li Feng looked at the evasive appearance of the second child. This kid didn't know what to hit but he still paid attention. He dared to act like this. How brave he was.
It's okay to be fat.
"I don't, I want to release the baby. My mother said she would buy me sweets after the release." The boy didn't appreciate it at all. He held the can to his heart and turned away, looking wary.
"Third uncle is buying you candy. Look, it's five yuan. You guys go with him to buy candy. Give me this four-legged snake. Second child, go back and catch a dog crawler and give it to Cong child. I'll keep this thing."
Here it is." Li Feng handed the money to these little guys. Don't say they are young, they all know how to count money. As soon as the smart boy saw the five yuan, he quickly stuffed the cans and bottles into Li Feng's hands.
.A few people ran into the village shouting happily and bought some food from the bubble shop.
The four-legged snake is also known as the Chinese skink, gecko, stone lizard, spring dragon, pig-woman snake, and five-inch stick. It is generally less than 20 cm (8 inches). It mostly hides underground or lives in caves; there is a movable lower eyelid that adapts to the ground.
The transparent scales of life make it possible to see when drilling holes and prevent rough particles from damaging the eyes.
It looks like a snake with legs, a flat head, a long tail, and small scales. It is mostly grey-blue, with the main color being confinement. The red-red snake in Li Feng's hand is a very rare and extremely venomous four-legged snake.
Li Feng had a lot of four-legged snakes when he was a child. He got at most forty or fifty at one time. Two of the four-legged snakes liked to bite each other and fight snakes. Two of them were put in a bucket to see who was more powerful. There were a lot of them at that time.
The children enjoyed this. Li Feng once owned a four-legged snake that was a god of war. He had killed more than ten four-legged snakes in a row. He was a golden male with five colors all over his body. He looked like a snake king. Unfortunately, he was killed by his own snake in the end.
The tabby cat bit him to death. Li Feng felt regretful for a while because it was so rare to see the four-legged snake king.
Tao Hongjing in the Shen Nong's Materia Medica said: "There are four types of skinks. The big one is pure yellow and is the snake doctor's mother, also known as the snake aunt. It is not used as medicine. The second one is like the snake doctor, which is small and has a long tail. It does not move when it sees people.
, named Longzi. The next one has a small shape with five colors, a green and cute tail, which is called Duan Lizard, and it does not sting people. There is a type of lizard that likes to be on the fence, named? Zeng, which is small and black in shape. It means that if it stings people, it will kill people, but it has not been heard of.
Middle man. This red four-legged snake is more venomous than anyone else's.
Li Feng didn't dare to let go of the little snake. He held it and looked at it. The little green snake on his wrist hissed, and he looked at the can with a hint of vigilance. His bamboo leaf green was a mutated species, highly toxic and could be hunted.
Even pythons, which are highly venomous snakes, are quite afraid of the red four-legged snake. It can be seen that the red four-legged snake is very powerful this time. These little guys are really fearless.
Li Feng would not dare to release such a highly venomous four-legged snake at will. Even if he released it, it would be at least ten miles away from Lijiagang. He thought about putting it in his pocket and bulging it. Fortunately, the lid was tightly wrapped and the four-legged snake could not get out.
It was nine o'clock, and there were more and more people in the city. There were more than ten cars parked on the river beach. For Lijiagang, today was definitely a big scene that had not been seen in more than ten years. There were people from Lijiagang and Likouzi living on the street.
He hurried back with his children and grandchildren, and some elderly people living in the city heard the letter and hurried back. At the pier, the village had prepared to release fish fry early. Eight mahogany basins were neatly placed, mostly small fish and shrimps. Li Feng
The uncle who helped prepare the fish was very complimentary. In fact, Li Feng didn't want to eat these small fish because they were too troublesome. He caught several hundred kilograms of fish in two days and put more than a dozen big fish into the lotus pond early.
The little fish here contributed to the release ceremony. After all, his father was still the village chief, so he had to do something. The second master here was preparing the offerings to He Bo.
Although only two villages have performed rituals to worship the gods according to the highest standards, the town leaders heard that the city leaders might come, so the ceremony must be unique. This is not a small three sacrifice, so it can only be replaced by a big three sacrifice. This is a business deal.
It was used by Emperor Zhou to offer sacrifices to heaven. Now you don’t have to worry about pig heads, sheep heads, and cow heads. They are too tight. The offering table is placed in front of the pier near the center of the river. There are incense burners, paper basins, three animals, and fruits placed on it. They are just waiting for the leaders to come over.
Start. All kinds of colorful flags were fluttering around the river beach. Li Feng looked at it, which was quite interesting. He, as an uncle, was quite good at getting things done. He got more than a dozen 13 or 14-year-old children from Likouzi Primary School, wearing uniforms and tie-ups.
Wearing a red scarf, he was waiting by the mountain road at the entrance of the village. Li Fuyuan, secretary of Li Kouzi, had a big, chubby face with narrowed eyes and a smile. Li Fukui was chatting with him, and Li Shan stood aside, looking at the two secretaries.
"Mom, why aren't you here yet?" Li Feng looked at his watch. Didn't he agree? This leader has a lot to do. Look, you can have lunch later. In fact, city people are used to going to work after eight o'clock and taking a car.
It's a little more hours, now it's past nine o'clock, and I think it will take a while.
"The leaders are busy with many important things every day, how can they be as good as us farmers?" Zhang Lan said with a smile, the villagers always think of this as simple and honest.
