Chen Chichu: “Really?”
Deer Hani said, “Old Kyoto has this tradition, blessing and longevity are all accounted for is a happy funeral.”
Chen Chichi: “You still know these?”
Deer Ha Ni: “Kyoto people understand, ‘Qing Wei-Class Notes’ is recorded. ‘People’s funeral, mourning is also, the party mourning the flawless, why have in the joy. But there is the so-called joyful mourning, the deceased’s life and happiness for the joyful also.The old Beijinger said “happy mourning” is “full return of life”, that is, full happiness, full life, full end, the lack of one.”
Chen Chi Chi people are stupid: “Silly roe deer …… you are not suddenly more in the head of what system? Why do you know such lofty knowledge?”
Deng Chao was also sceptical: “You’re designated to be enlightened, such as a golden finger like ‘Superstar from Encyclopaedia’.”
Deerhani said, “Egg! It’s clearly you yourselves who are uneducated.”
Chen Chichu: “……”
Deng Chao: “Hahahahaha! I didn’t think …… that we, Tianba Dynamic TUA, would one day be called uneducated by a silly elk!”
Chen Chichu: “The little deer is since being infected with mental illness by Li Tiezhu, the spirit is much better.”
Li Tiezhu ignored them and ran to communicate up with Wang Jiafang, which went well.
Wang Jiafang was very willing to show the rural folk culture in the programme and agreed to let Li Tiezhu and the others go to hold a banquet, but he couldn’t charge any money, and he could get a reward of 24 points after completing it.
Money was not important, what mattered was that the guests of Primitive House in the next two days, had a place to eat, and did not spend points!
There are many ways to organise the banquet, some are directly contracted to the chef, how much is a table, the host family is only responsible for paying for it. There is the host family to buy vegetables and rice, the chef is only responsible for doing, the hand is processing money.
Li Tiezhu, of course, did not have time to go shopping.
He wrote a list of ingredients that need to be purchased, and entrusted someone to send it to Lao Jiu, so that they can take care of it themselves.
In the morning, Li Tiezhu took everyone to cut down many pine and bamboo to come back to burn charcoal, and tunnelled the charcoal to be used to burn pottery.
At noon, we still ate yesterday’s leftovers, which were packed in bamboo baskets and put in a spring cesspool to keep them calm last night, so they wouldn’t go bad.
In the afternoon, everyone dug clay together to make pottery, everyone was dirty, even Oh Exempt was covered in mud.
Zhao Liya, with red clay on the tip of her nose, asked, “What we’re making is so ugly, will it work?”
Chen Chichu: “There isn’t even a single bowl in the house, and you still think it’s ugly? It’s fine if you can use it.”
Li Tiezhu said, “That’s right, you guys make the basics like bowls, plates, and teapots first, and I’ll make a couple of bigger altars for holding things.”
Everyone started to let loose and play with the mud, very happy.
The onlooking villagers, on the other hand, laughed at their craftsmanship, in their simple conception, these people were just wastes with hands and feet, Li Tiezhu counted as half a waste, as his craftsmanship was also too rusty.
Zhao Liya first made a dog food trough, but also quite a f*cking idea, partitioned into three pieces, one side put rice and vegetables, the other side put soup.
Nie Yao made a plate, Deer Hani made a ceramic cup, Deng Chao made a bowl, and Chen Chi Chi made a …… himself.
Chen Chi Chi said, “Do you see how my pinched self looks like? After burning it, I’ll bring it back to be offered in the main shop of Hanny Hairdressing and keep an eye on the employees every day, this is called …… like I am personally present.”
Li Tiezhu: “Well, it can ward off evil spirits.”
Chen Chichihui: “What’s to ward off evil spirits? I do not look like?”
Deer Hani: “The more it looks like, the more it wards off evil, and if it doesn’t look like it, it can’t ward off evil!”
Nie Yao: “Can Chichi make one more?”
Chen Chichi: “What for?”
Nie Yao: “I’ll take it back to ward off evil spirits.”
Deng Chao: “I don’t have such an affliction, I have a photo of Chichi and I together at home.”
Everyone made a lot of oddly shaped hollowing blanks and moved them to the eaves of the bamboo hut to shade and dry.
By three o’clock in the afternoon, they washed their hands and changed into clean clothes, and went to Lao Jiu’s house to discuss the big event of organising a banquet, of course only Li Tiezhu would do it, everyone else was just along to dabble in the food and drink.
Lao Jiu his father has been dead for more than two days, after today’s stop spirit full three days, the fourth day began to feast to entertain friends and relatives.
The east side of the mountain beam in the mountain bay deep in the bamboo forest is the old nine brothers of the home.
Still a long way away, Li Tiezhu they heard the sound of music coming from Lao Jiu’s house: “You smile so beautiful, like a spring flower, all the troubles all the worries, all blowing away …….”
Chen Chichi and Deng Chao looked at each other, a little sceptical of life.
Is this family so happy?
There is more happy, bamboo forest brothers in the courtyard are full of mahjong tables, nearby villagers and relatives who heard the news to get high on pumpkin seeds and drink jasmine tea rubbing mahjong, small children in groups of three to five crazy running around, laughter.
In fact, from the day before yesterday, the nearby villagers came to the old nine home dinner, the number is not too much, but the host family is to manage the meal, just cooking is not serious to do the chef, the taste is more general, the dishes will be a little less.
This is the usual practice, usually ask seven or eight women to help run the show, when the chef comes they will give the chef miscellaneous, usually the chef will bring a few more professional helpers to the chef.
However, Li Tiezhu obviously did not, he only had a group of pig teammates.
See Li Tiezhu and other people came, the villagers are happy to greet and take pictures, but also to bring them pumpkin seeds, the children are excited to surround the cameraman circle to grab the camera.
Deng Chao knocked fried pumpkin seeds: “This is the first time I’ve seen such a funeral.”
He didn’t have the heart to say that it was a bit of grave bouncing.
Chen Chichu: “This music loop is a bit on the nose! Can’t you change the song?”
Nie Yao: “That’s right, whose sh*tty song is it!”
Zhao Liya: “Ours.”
This was the DJ version of Li Tiezhu and Zhao Liya’s chorus, which was the most widely circulated.
Pop-up:
“This scene is so nostalgic!”
“From my hometown in Chuannan, this is how we do red and white celebrations there.”
“Crap, actually playing ‘You Look Good When You Smile’?”
“Aren’t you afraid that the old man will rise from his coffin?”
“That’s the custom. We used to invite a theatre troupe.”
“Yes, and we’ll show the video at night.”
“Pirated discs rented on the street for 5 yuan, they’re played late every night, and kids love them!”
The courtyard of Lao Jiu’s house is killing pigs, two big fat pigs have been killed one is shaving the hair, the other is a few strong men grabbed by pressing on the stone plate is about to kill, everyone saw Li Tiezhu came, have smiled and greeted.
Many children and adults gathered around the courtyard to watch the killing of pigs, no matter whose family kills pigs, there is no shortage of spectators.
Their family’s clay dog began to bark.
Lao Jiu kicked the dog away and said, “Ma Wu, give the knife to Little Master, kill this pig for Little Master, you dog said you can’t bleed clean.”
Ma Wu hurriedly handed the knife to Li Tiezhu: “Uncle you come.”
Li Tiezhu is not polite, carrying a thin pig killing knife, he came to the side of the pig killing platform, wiped the pig’s neck twice, found the right position and exerted …… a lot of force, white knife in red knife out.
Accompanied by the sound of the pig squealing, blood gushed out from the mouth of Li Tiezhu s hand.
Lao Jiu nimbly put the wooden basin underneath to catch the blood.
Zhao Liya, who had just entered the courtyard door, screamed in fear and covered her face and ran out, not daring to look.
Deer Ha Ni also expression lost its ability to manage: “Ooh! So rough?”
The other three artists were fine, not only were they not afraid, but they were interested.
The pig was still struggling and squealing.
Li Tiezhu one hand pressed the pig’s head, one hand hard against the pig knife, said to Ma Wu: “position to find the right, a knife should be stabbed through the heart, otherwise the pig will die slowly not to mention, the blood is not clean, know it?”
hemp five nodded: “know know, just can not find the location ……”
Li Tiezhu: “Teach you a trick, prepare a long iron sign, kill a knife did not stab through the heart, on the signature continue to stab.”
Ma Wu: “To get.”
Li Tiezhu: “Raise the pig’s hind legs.”
The pig struggled twice and hiccuped, and the blood was quickly drained.
Li Tiezhu pulled out the pig knife back to Ma Wu, Lao Jiu’s mother-in-law brought a basin of water for him to wash his hands, just barked at Li Tiezhu barking dog whimpered and ran far away with his tail between his legs.
Bouncing screen:
“I go, this cut scared the old man.”
“The programme team has already lent a hand in filming, what’s there to be scared of?”
“Serious Brother’s pig killing skills are really good!”
“Much better than last season’s pig killing, last season which bamboo stick stabbing, that’s called a cruel ……”
“Since I was a kid, I’ve loved watching pig killing.”
“Hahaha, that dog scared piss, right?”
“Oh exemption are afraid to enter the yard.”
“Seeking Zhao Liya’s psychological shadow area!”
“Killing a pig is killing a pig, but also f*cking live teaching?”
“Pig: are you polite?”
Li Tiezhu washed his hands, the old nine on the ground smoke, the two sat down at a table in the courtyard, began to discuss the matter of the banquet.
Several of their brothers pushed the younger and more energetic Lao Jiu to take charge, Lao Jiu said:
The old nine said: “Not many old people live to more than ninety, we do not know which content, certainly still nine bowls, but I heard with the general nine bowls and different. Little master, do you know what is the constitution not?”
Li Tiezhu said: “I know. The old rule of nine-double bowls for white wedding is that the number of dishes should be doubled, and the number of tables you set up should also be doubled. As for the dishes, it’s just a difference between which one is on first and which one is on second, and the white cake and gazpacho are on first for white wedding, and the filial son opens the seat rite, and then the chopsticks are moved, and the steaming bowls are on only at this time.
Nine Dou Bowls does not mean that there are only nine dishes, but those nine must be there.
Lao Jiu had already bought back all the dishes on Li Tiezhu’s list and asked, “What about the dishes? Are the ones prepared now enough?”
Li Tiezhu said, “The dishes can be even better, depending on the host family’s ability, do you have to get that temper the whole qualification of the top nine bowls? The first bowl of fish liver fried fish maw, two bowls of chicken stewed shellfish. Three bowls of lard stewed tofu, four bowls of carp bird’s nest blanch. Five bowls of golden hook hook point vinegar, six bowls of money hanging gourd. Seven bowls of pierogies, eight bowls of fat meat. Nine bowls of broth to gargle, full of wine and rice all over the body crispy. Comfortable board oh!”
The old nine dumbfounded: “Forget about it …… our brothers, I guess only whole up tofu, fat pier, fat meat and clear soup …….”
Li Tiezhu: “That still say a hammer mai? I see to give you the whole is, you personally clear to the point of etiquette, more to find a few old life ask aha. Cooking etiquette and rules I know, the other I do not understand.”
Lao Jiu: “I know, I know ……”
Several artists, except for Zhao Liya, were listening to the audience, listening to the dazed and completely do not understand.
Even the “know the rules” of the Kyoto Deer Hani is also confused, the nine big bowls of Chuannan rules many locals do not understand, only the cook and the elderly door clear.
