MTL - The Era of Hard Work-Chapter 735 Seven Dwarfs

   Chapter 735 The Seven Dwarfs

  In the countryside, the year is not over until the fifteenth day, but once the fifth day of the new year in Lujia Village, it gets busy.

   To prepare for the 15th lantern festival, pretend play and fireworks show.

  The lanterns specially ordered from Gaojia Village have been installed since the sixth day of the first lunar month. There are not only those hanging on the street, roofs and trees, but also dragon lanterns on the ground.

   A group of lions in spring, peacocks open their screens, dragons and phoenixes show auspiciousness, clear photos and springs, etc., each has its own theme lantern groups, from the front gate of the folk custom area to the empty space above the old street.

   In order to attract family-based tourists, lantern sets such as Black Cat Sheriff, Huluwa Save Grandpa, Nezha Raising the Sea and Havoc in Heaven are also carefully prepared.

  -related advertisements have been playing since years ago.

  Because Chinese New Year people rarely travel far, the advertisements are mainly placed in Qingzhao and Quannan, and the advertisements have eye-catching themed slogans-not to Lujia Village to catch the lantern festival, it is not a New Year!

   By the eighth day, all kinds of lanterns were basically installed.

  On the night of the eighth day, all lanterns are officially energized, the folk landscape and the lantern art complement each other.

  The people from the nearby villages all gathered.

   After lunch, Lu Dong called Li Wenyue and went to the old village together.

"The rest can't be predicted for the time being." Turning to Laoji Street, with colorful lights flashing in front of his eyes, Li Wenyue said to Lu Dong as he walked, "Room reservations can roughly reflect one or two. Our homestays are fourteen or ten. Five of the bookings are close to 60 percent, and I asked the resort, and the booking rate is quite high.”

  Lu Dong went to buy two bunches of candied haws, handed one to Li Wenyue, and said, "The fame of the folk food festival held a few years ago is considered to have begun. We may not be able to do it in the distance, but in Quannan, it can be regarded as famous."

  Li Wenyue bit a candied haws, sweet and sour: "Quannan, Linzi, Pingcheng and Laicheng, in these four prefecture-level cities, many people have heard of us here."

   Lvjiacun itself has accumulated considerable fame through food companies in the past few years. Last year's intensive publicity and the great success of the Folk Food Festival made it even more famous.

   This is probably the feedback from the real society.

  The clanging of poor villages, no matter how noisy, can’t be remembered, but the rich and oily villages are very easy to leave a deep impression on people.

   Came to the intersection of Laoji Street and Food Street. There are several lantern groups here. Among them, on the side of the Huluwa lantern group, Uncle Seven is talking to a few children.

   Lu Dong and Li Wen crossed over, and Lu Lanlan and a few classmates pestered Seventh Uncle to tell him the story of the gourd baby.

   Li Xiaoxiao from the same village said, "Seventh Uncle, don't talk about cartoons!"

   "Yes, you can't talk about cartoons!" Lu Lanlan said in a loud voice: "You have to talk about a new one."

The half-aged children in the village started to boo, and everyone knows that Uncle Seven loves to make up some messy stories, such as barbecued big skin fox, big locust tree to suppress Bai Niangniang, Jiansong uncle's mouse and rice jar lid, etc. all interesting

  Seventh Uncle stood in front of the lanterns and said, "You bunch of bears, don't you know that I'm tired after training for a day? Think I'm you, idling around all day?"

   A boy shouted, "Uncle Seven, you are the one in charge of the drill, and you don't train yourself!"

   Lu Dong and Li Wenyue stood behind Lu Lanlan, and the latter also followed suit: "Seventh Uncle, come one!"

   These older kids all went to high school and went through military training, so they immediately shouted: "Seventh Uncle, come one! Seventh Uncle, come one!"

   "Alright! Alright! Alright!" Lu Jianren couldn't help it. He looked back at the lantern group where Huluwa rescued his grandfather, and pondered: "Wait a minute, I have to think about it."

   Lu Dongxin said, wouldn't the seventh uncle come out inappropriately for children?

   Lu Jianren turned his head twice, and immediately had an idea: "Okay, I'll tell you a new version of the gourd baby story."

   This side immediately quieted down.

   Lv Jianren raised a finger: "A thousand years ago, a child rescued a white snake. Later, the white snake became an essence and became a human!"

   "I know! I know!" the youngest shouted, "That's Lady Bai!"

   Then, Lu Lanlan muttered dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it a gourd baby? Why did you become the Bai Niangniang again?"

"Should I tell or do you tell?" Lu Jianren glanced around and saw that no one including Lu Dong and Li Wenyue spoke, and then said: "After this white snake became a human, it was called Bai Suzhen. In order to repay her life-saving grace, she She married Xu Xian, a grown-up child, but people will grow old, and snake spirits will not grow old. Xu Xian is old and looks bad. Bai Suzhen dislikes the old wrinkled face, so she abandoned Xu Xian and ran to the mountains. Find a male scorpion sperm to live with."

  Other people are listening carefully, this nonsense is very interesting.

While thinking about it, Lv Jianren made up and made up: "Xu Xian was abandoned, he was angry, and ran to the mountains to seek revenge for Bai Suzhen. He is a little old man, how can he beat monsters? Just search, search, search, and find the legendary fetish Qicai. Gourd seed, seven gourd babies were planted!"

   The youngest called again: "I know! I know! The gourd baby defeated the snake spirit and the scorpion spirit and avenged Xu Xian!"

I don't know how many times I've watched the cartoon, so naturally I don't need to go into details. Lv Jianren continued: "What you don't know is that the seven gourd babies beat Bai Suzhen and ran west, until they went to a place where no one else could find them and lived in seclusion. , They also have to earn money to eat, so they dig and make money. This digging has been going on for decades. They did not grow tall, but they grew a lot of beards. One day, a woman ran into the forest and said She was persecuted by the queen, what is her name? Guess what?"

   Lu Lanlan rolled her eyes: "I guessed it, she is Snow White! Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!"

   Lu Jianren said, "You guessed it right, no prize!" He glanced at Lu Dong and Li Wenyue, and said to the big boys, "Okay, that's it for today, let's go."

   A group of people left one after another, and many were still discussing the story of the seven gourd babies and Snow White.

   Lv Jianren joined Lv Dong and Li Wenyue and turned to the food street together.

  It is a big night in winter, just after the New Year, and the temperature is not too high. At least half of the shops here are open, and there are not many people on the street, so business is okay.

   Arrived at the fun shop opened in the village, the three of them went in and asked for some skewers, mainly scorpions, grasshoppers and golden cicadas, as well as tickling spicy jars.

  I just had dinner, but it was actually eaten as a snack.

   Lu Dong ate a golden cicada. Thinking of when he caught the golden cicada a few years ago, he said, "The company has saved a lot of this stuff?"

  Insect Fun Store is owned by a food company.

  Li Wenyue knows the situation better: "Last summer, we made a large-scale acquisition, and there are a lot of goods in the cold storage."

   Lv Jianren suddenly said at this time: "It seems that a village in our county has started to cultivate golden cicadas. That village mainly grows fruit trees, saying that it was recommended by agricultural experts, and it can increase a lot of income."

   Lu Dong swallowed the golden cicada in his mouth: "There are still many people who like to eat this stuff."

   Lv Jianren said, "Or should our village introduce some golden cicada seeds to plant?"

  Li Wenyue put down the iron drill: "Seventh Uncle, what do you think?"

   Lu Dong was also curious and looked at Uncle Seven.

   "That's what I thought, the two of you are for the staff."

I have been in the village for a long time, like a half-headed brick. Wherever there is a hole, it will be thrown and filled. Even a sophomore like Uncle Qi, who is a sophomore, has some business acumen: "The people who farm in our village are Reduce, the remaining land, in addition to the elderly in the village, how many people are willing to plant?"

   This is the truth, as long as those who are willing to work are not in poor health, the wages for entering the factory are much higher than those for farming.

   Not to mention young people, there are few people in their 40s who are willing to farm.

To say that there is a feeling for the land, there is indeed, but as long as most rural people live well, the feeling for the land is a matter of a few vegetable plots. that thought.

  Maybe those in their 60s have different ideas, and if they feel they have a place, they have to plant it.

Lv Jianren said: "Young people don't want to ask the old people in the family to plant the land again. It's enough to leave some vegetable plots. What else do you do? A serious illness is enough to catch a few colds."

"Since last autumn, there has been a lot of abandoned land in our village. The reserved land will not be moved in the short term, and no one will grow crops. I think we can do other things, such as planting trees and getting some golden cicadas. Plant the seeds, let the grass grow as you like, and in the last two years, people who come over in the summer can come out and touch the golden cicadas with their own hands."

   When Lu Dong heard this, he roughly guessed what Uncle Qi was going to say next, and asked, "Can you still catch a rabbit and a pheasant?"

Lv Jianren chuckled: "Let's enclose the ground and introduce some wild rabbits into it. This thing breeds very fast. When someone is interested, they can dig a hole and catch the rabbits. There are pheasants and quails. , you can do it all, wild quail is not very easy to deal with, this thing can fly high, pheasant!

  Lu Dong nodded: "It's an idea, I think it's feasible."

   Li Wenyue also agreed: "There should be a lot of people in the city who are interested in this, right?"

Seeing the approval of the two nephews, Lu Jianren said, "We still have several hundred acres of land in the village. We can coordinate with the town. The public land under the river bank in the north can also be taken down. If the place is big enough, we can also get some silly roe deer to come over. "

He has often been on the construction site in the past two years, and there are many people who say: "We Chinese people, we have toss and toss, don't we just eat this stutter? I tell you, there is absolutely no shortage of people who like it! Catch it and make it yourself. , make it by yourself, eat it by yourself, and enjoy!"

   "Seventh Uncle, it's rare for you to be serious." Lu Dong laughed.

   Lu Jianren wiped his face: "When did your seventh uncle become so serious?"

   Lu Dong said quickly, "Okay, I said something wrong."

Thinking about it, Uncle Seven has been working with apprentices in a construction company for the past two years, and then he worked with Grandpa Zhenjia in hand-casting. He turned around and performed Lu Opera and Allegro. He was also in charge of the gong and drum team and the play team. It was a fulfilling experience. .

   Li Wenyue said at this time: "Seventh Uncle, tomorrow I will call Li Yanyan, let's have a meeting together."
