This ice-play activity held in Fusha Town combines the waist drum of the northern Shaanxi people with the rough and heroic folk customs of the Manchu people.

Hundreds of people are wearing skates, sliding on the ice, changing formations from time to time to the beat of drums. Looking from a distance, yellow clothes, red trousers, and white headscarves are flashing and dancing on the shiny and reflective ice surface. It is beautiful and very special.

Spectacular.

The whole activity lasted for about half an hour. Amidst the tight "dong dong" sound of the drum on the sledge, the whole performance came to an end when the old man finally smashed the drumstick on the drum surface.

Three hundred people stood in unison, bowed deeply to everyone present, and then quickly walked away.

After watching this ice-play performance, the sky has gradually darkened and night is approaching.

Li Yuanlang asked Feng Lingxue, "This performance is good to watch, but this alone is not enough to impress everyone. Comrade Lingxue, do you have any other programs planned?"

"County Magistrate Li, don't worry, the fun has just begun." Feng Lingxue smiled and pretended to be suspense again.

Zhang Jian took over the conversation and said: "County Magistrate Li, fellow county leaders, not far ahead is Lanqi Village. It is a village dominated by Manchus. Would you like to move there and have a look?"

Li Yuanlang had already noticed that under the afterglow of the setting sun, there was smoke rising not far ahead, and there was a large black building. This must be the Lanqi Village.

Feng Lingxue suggested, "I have a grudge. Can we walk into the village?"

By visual inspection, it was only three to five hundred meters. Li Yuanlang also wanted to exercise his legs and feet, so he readily agreed.

So more than twenty people walked along the road into the village, stepping on the snow, and walked towards the village together, with the motorcade following behind them.

It doesn't look far, but actually it takes some time to walk.

It gets dark early in the north, and it's almost dark before we even reach the entrance of the village. We rely on the car lights behind us to guide our way.

Zhang Zhongqiang couldn't help but said: "Dahkala's deep and shallow kicks, Feng Lingxue, Zhang Jian, what tricks are you doing? If you knock someone down, you must be responsible."

Zhang Jian immediately said: "I'm really sorry for the leaders. In order to show the effect, please work hard. We won't be far away."

"Display effect?" Zhang Zhongqiang was stunned, stopped and took a deep breath, still confused.

Yang Mei followed up and panted: "Deputy County Zhang, I see, Feng Lingxue and the others are testing our physical fitness. The winter has made us sweat and lose weight."

Facing the ridicule, Feng Lingxue didn't hesitate or explain.

I think of her as a lesbian, walking on the snowy road, not tired at all, but full of energy.

On the contrary, some of the county leaders were sweating and panting.

Li Yuanlang was pretty good. After all, he had the experience of exploring golden potholes at night and trekking long distances in the snow. Moreover, he was still relatively young and had a clear physical advantage over those men in their forties.

After walking for about ten minutes, it was completely dark, and the lights of every house in Lanqi Village were dotted, showing the basic outline of the village.

At this moment, colorful lights suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village.

And these lights are all hung on rows of big trees on both sides of the village entrance.

Under the illumination of the light, the trees covered with ice and snow glow brightly, and with the rising cold air, it gives people a wonderful feeling of being in a fairyland.

This perfect combination of nature and modernity is very eye-catching and spectacular when everyone is exhausted from the rush.

Li Yuanlang suddenly realized, no wonder Feng Lingxue asked everyone to walk a few hundred meters because they wanted this refreshing and brightening feeling.

I have to say that this Feng Lingxue really took great pains to welcome their inspection.

Just when he was still feeling this, red lights suddenly lit up in the village, hanging from high places, dotted with stars, very beautiful.

"I guess this means that every house has lit up lanterns, right?" Li Yuanlang had seen this kind of scene in Hailang Village, and he couldn't help but feel emotional about the scene.

"Yes." Feng Lingxue explained: "The village specially asked every household to hang up red lanterns to welcome county leaders to visit."

When she said these words, she saw a large group of people walking in front of her, headed by the Lanqi Village party secretary and village director.

The two first met Feng Lingxue and Zhang Jian, and after Feng Lingxue's introduction, they shook hands with Li Yuanlang and other county leaders one by one.

These two people have special surnames, the branch secretary’s surname is Tong, and the village director’s surname is Guan.

Li Yuanlang said: "You two must be Manchus. The surnames Tong and Guan are one of the eight major surnames of the Manchu people."

Party Secretary Tong smiled and rubbed his hands, "County Magistrate Li is very knowledgeable. What you said is exactly what we said. Our surname Tong evolved from the Tong Jia family."

Director Guan followed up and said: "Our surname is Guan, and the Manchu surname is Guarjia."

Zhang Jian suggested: "Let's not talk here anymore and invite the leaders to talk in the room."

When walking into Lanqi Village, Li Yuanlang felt the different atmosphere and atmosphere here.

Even in this modern era, most of the houses here are made of blue bricks and tiles.

Sit north and face south. Unlike the Han people, the chimneys of Manchu houses are not built on the roof, but the chimneys sit on the ground.

The chimney is built on one side of the house, with a tunnel connected to the fire pit.

In this way, the chimney sitting on the ground can not only extend the length of the indoor flue and provide heating efficiency, but the key is that the Manchu chimney has a large fire capacity, and the chimney is wide and column-shaped, so it is more suitable to build it on the ground.

The village committee is similar to ordinary Han houses, with white tiles on the outside. After entering, there are offices, reading rooms, etc. on the left side, and a large conference room on the right side.

Due to the large number of visitors, in addition to those from the county, there were also members of the township and village committees. Together, there were thirty or forty people.

Therefore, Party Secretary Tong and Director Guan let everyone into the conference room.

Tables, chairs and benches had been set up long ago. Li Yuanlang and the county and township leaders sat down, while Party Secretary Tong and the village cadres sat opposite.

The heater in the room was burning hot, and several young women immediately brought hot tea to the leaders to drive away the chill.

After everyone sat down, Li Yuanlang looked around the crowd and said with deep emotion: "We just watched your ice performance in the afternoon, and in the evening we also enjoyed the colorful tree hangings and red lanterns in Lanqi Village. And I also noticed it in particular.

, your Lanqi Village has retained the traditional characteristics of Manchu houses in the building construction, which is not easy to achieve. "

Director Guan said: "The vast majority of our Lanqi Village is Manchu. Our ancestors moved from the capital to the local area and settled here during the Qianlong Dynasty."

"After all these years, the traditional customs of the Manchu people have been preserved. There are still many elderly people in our village who can write and speak Manchu."

Party Secretary Tong immediately introduced: "Tonight, we will also invite County Magistrate Li, Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, Deputy County Magistrate Yang, Secretary Feng, Mayor Zhang and other leaders to taste our unique Manchu flavor."

Hearing Party Secretary Tong mention eating, many people present felt hungry.

Although everyone was satiated by a feast of live fish at noon, they couldn't resist the trek this way to improve the function of the digestive system, and the food in their stomachs had already been digested.

Moreover, in winter, people are prone to hunger. Only by eating well can we get rid of the cold.

"Okay, I really don't feel hungry if Secretary Tong doesn't mention it. You just said that and it brought out my greed." Li Yuanlang half-joked, causing everyone present to laugh.

Later, Li Yuanlang and others were taken into a large house next to the village committee.

There are large kangs on the north and south sides, and a narrow kang along the gable wall on the west side of the house, connecting the north and south kangs, commonly known as the "Wanzi kang".

At this moment, a round table was placed on the north and south Kang.

Various delicacies, large and small, have been placed on the table.

Party Secretary Tong and Director Guan politely asked Li Yuanlang, Feng Lingxue and others to sit on the table in the north kang, and said that the north kang is the largest among them and the south kang is the small, so all leaders are invited to sit on the north kang.

The guests did as they pleased, so Li Yuanlang was not polite and took off his shoes first to get on the kang.

Naturally, he was given the main seat. Li Yuanlang followed the local customs and sat cross-legged. He immediately felt the hot Kang noodles under his body, and the warmth swept through his whole body, making him very comfortable and relaxed.
