Lao Min is very late today and hasn't come back yet.
I don’t know if it’s because he was too tired from working last night, so he couldn’t get up early in the morning.
Or it was because he was bitten by a snake or something and fell completely down.
Anyway, the sun has climbed to the top of the mountain, and he is lying there, looking at the wizard in Luo Xuan's yard with great interest.
Go crazy there.
There is still no trace of this guy Lao Min.
Namu and the others would naturally not go to work if there was a lot of excitement in front of them.
These girls are very playful.
Even urging them is useless.
If they make you slightly unhappy, Namu and the others will turn around and leave!
He didn't pay any attention to Luo Xuan or Zhang Xiaoli. What kind of expressions did they have on their faces...
When a dancer comes to perform a ritual, it's natural that he doesn't come to help for free... Luo Xuan has to pay for it.
It is a very common thing to do this kind of ritual in this area, but Luo Xuan didn't understand the situation.
I don't dare to pay the dancers randomly.
"Namu, do you know that after a ritual like this, I have to pay something to the dancer?"
Luo Xuan asked Namu quietly, "If you don't know, go back quickly and go to the village to help me ask those who know these things."
Namu shook her head, "There is no fixed price for this. It is based on the size and severity of the ritual."
"If someone's home is possessed by something bad.
If it's lighter, just kill two chickens, make some glutinous rice, and ask the dancer to come over and work for a while, that'll be fine."
Namu said, "If it's more serious, you have to kill a sheep. In the worst case, you have to kill a cow."
Luo Xuan frowned, "Then my matter is considered very light, right?"
Because just now when the dancer came with his two assistants, he also brought two chickens with him.
If we follow Namu’s words just now, we can understand the meaning inside.
To infer: the compensation I paid to the dancer this time should not be too much.
When a dancer uses this thing, it has a certain market value.
Giving too much,
Of course you can't do it if you are taken advantage of.
But if you give too little, spending money will only make the dancer resentful, which is not cost-effective.
Dancers are not easy to mess with, and you must not mess with them!
You must know that in the village, except for the leader Lao Dao, he has absolute authority.
The next number two person is the guy in front of me who is suffering from epilepsy.
This ritual ceremony lasted until three o'clock in the morning.
The dancer was sweating profusely and his whole body was limp and ended his seizure.
Luo Xuan stepped forward,
Ask the dancer's assistant in a low voice: How should I thank the dancer?
The assistant shook his head: "Sincerity leads to spiritual success."
Ask another assistant.
That guy was also unpredictable. He smiled slightly and said, "Of his own free will..."
Uh... why are you playing the "guess and guess" game?
The price is clearly stated, and it’s so nice to be honest!
Naturally, Luo Xuan had to pay for the two chickens used for the ritual.
But also, how much should I pay the dancer?
There is no standard answer to this question.
In the end, Luo Xuan gave the dancer 4 yuan and 8 cents as hard work fee; and to the two assistants who followed, Luo Xuan gave them each a 1 yuan and 2 cents red envelope.
When taking the money from the two assistants,
Judging from the smiles on their faces, the reward of 1 yuan and 2 cents must have exceeded their psychological expectations.
It's just that the lion dancer is probably very tired at this time.
When he took the reward of 4 yuan and 80 cents from Luo Xuan, his face was neither surprised nor happy.
Looks very cold...
Two chickens, one is discounted at 2 yuan and 30 cents.
The total is 4 yuan and 6 cents.
This inexplicable ritual cost Luo Xuandu a total of 11 yuan and 80 cents!
Logically speaking, this should be quite a lot, right?
Why did Luo Xuan see a hint of dissatisfaction in the dancer's eyes?
what does this mean?
I bought the two chickens with my own money, but they also took away the chickens.
I got nothing.
No! Got a few chicken feathers:
There are two chicken feathers stuck on the door of the new house. There are also two chicken feathers stuck on the bamboo fence door...
11 yuan and 80 cents!
In exchange for 4 chicken feathers?!
Then he posted it himself, with several smiling faces. In the end, he even offended the dancer, who looked a little unhappy...
What is this whole thing called?
Forget it! Now that the matter has come to this, we can only ignore it for now.
The legal work is completed.
Luo Xuan asked Zhang Xiaoli to sit in the kitchen and be responsible for making lunch for everyone.
He took Namu, Nali and the others to weed the yard and level the dam.
Dig drainage ditches.
In subtropical places, weeds grow wildly.
The grass in the yard is no higher than the knees. This is the easiest place to hide snakes and rats.
So Luo Xuan planned to make the yard bare, preferably not even a blade of grass!
Today's work is not tiring.
It was almost noon and the sun was very bright. After working for a while, Namu and Nali would sneak out of the yard and jump into the creek next to the hut to take a bath and cool down.
Wait until they play in the water for a while, catch small fish and shrimps, and then come up and continue working.
It just drags on.
This makes the progress of the entire project very slow...
It seems that at this time, they have long forgotten the condition they had agreed on long ago: whoever does the most work today will get the mirror.
"Najudi, go to the village and buy some chickens."
I am really helpless,
Luo Xuan had no choice but to call Na Judi, "You all work hard. If you do well, we will have chicken for lunch today."
"Great!"
Namu and the others cheered and jumped out of the creek one after another, laughing and helping to weed again.
The kitchen is just under the eaves, a temporary building.
Sitting in the kitchen, Zhang Xiaoli can see everything going on in the yard and in the creek.
Those girls just now.
Everyone was wet, and they came out of the water so openly.
Zhang Xiaoli saw this situation clearly.
But she could only smile bitterly in her heart and expressed her helplessness: there was no way to stop it, and it couldn't be stopped.
A group of girls who are never afraid of being looked at.
As for the other man, there's no way he wouldn't want to see it.
With the market going like this, who can do anything?
Zhang Xiaoli chose to be out of sight and out of mind, and just focused on lighting the fire.
The cooking place is a small firepit made of three stones, so I will just make do with it at first.
Luo Xuan was ready to finish his work and make another stove by himself.
In Liao Lao County.
Except for the inland stoves found in state-owned restaurants, fire pits are used in other villages.
smoky,
No matter how nice the house is, no matter how nice the iron pot is, it won't last for three days, and it will turn pitch black.
Everywhere is dirty.
Zhang Xiaoli is taking the time to cook, and the girls in the yard are obviously doing much better today than they did the previous two days.
With the temptation of chicken,
In addition, Luo Xuan, intentionally or unintentionally, took out the mirror and held it in his hand.
Reflecting the sun, wandering around and playing.
One moment, the beam of light was used to illuminate Namu; the next moment, it illuminated Nali.
Luo Xuan reminded them implicitly: Don't forget what you discussed yesterday.
You'd better be more diligent when working today...
This trick really works!
These girls love to play and love to be lazy at work.
But they also have an advantage: I don’t know how they can stay so happy all the time?
A random word or movement can make them burst into giggles.
If you don't follow them, then be more serious.
Having such a group of girls working here can still make people feel much happier.
Especially for Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli, who are far away from their hometown and familiar people.
Being able to have Namu, Nali and the others come over to play often is a pistachio.
Not bad...
For lunch today, I am going to make a pot of bamboo shoot stewed chicken.
The girls dug the bamboo shoots in the mountains. The big rooster was bought freshly from the village by Najudi.
actually,
Luo Xuan has a large group of chickens in his own space.
It's just that those are breeds from the mainland, which are completely different from the chickens here, so they are not very convenient to eat.
Anyway, I’m not short of money, so I’ll just keep the chickens in that space for now!
this time,
Na Zhudi returned to the village and said she wanted to buy two chickens for Luo Xuan.
As a result, many mountain people came out, carrying their own native chickens.
I want Najudi to help me buy it.
In fact, every household in the village keeps 7 or 8 animals.
Even more than 10 chickens.
But they don't have many ways to monetize these chickens.
Just because the Laku Production Team is too far away from Menglile Commune!
If you carry two chickens and go to the commune specifically to go to the market and take the opportunity to sell them.
It took almost two days to go back and forth.
We still have to walk nearly 70 miles.
If you calculate it this way, you have to pay such a high price just to sell two chickens.
It's really not cost-effective either.
So when Na Zhudi said she wanted to buy chickens for Luo Xuan.
The mountain people brought their own chickens over one after another and asked Najudi to help buy it.
These mountain people,
The reason why I am so anxious is to cash in the chicken I have.
One is that they also need money to buy salt, medicine and so on.
Another more important reason is that they generally like to smoke...smoking a rather special kind of cigarette.
They are so addicted to smoking that they would rather skip meals but cannot stop smoking.
You eat every meal, you smoke cigarettes as much as you have money.
After a long time, no one's body can bear it.
As a result, Luo Xuan has not seen a fat man in the entire village.
so,
To be able to smoke.
No matter how cheap the chickens at home are sold, the mountain people will not hesitate!
As a young girl, Najudi is still thin-skinned after all.
How could she withstand the pull of the second uncle, third cousin, and sixth uncle in the village?
Bought this person's chicken but rejected that person's?
Najudi will not be able to hang out in the village from now on. She will definitely incur the bad looks of these elders!
So wait until Najudi,
When he returned to Luo Xuan's house, he was holding a large bamboo cage with six chickens in it!
Not only that,
Behind her, there were two and a half boys, each holding four chickens and following closely...
"Luo Xuan, I, did I buy a little too much?"
Najudi blushes whenever she speaks.
The level is even worse than that of Zhang Xiaoli, "These two chickens belong to the Zada family... He, he is my second uncle."
These two chickens belong to the Zafang family, he...he is my seventh uncle. These two chickens..."
Luo Xuan smiled slightly, "You don't need to say this. Just tell me how much a chicken costs."
"They said, let you watch it."
Najudi blushed and replied, "Probably, as long as a chicken costs no less than 2 yuan."
2 yuan for a chicken?
It's simply too cheap!
The chicken here is not only cheap, but also very delicious.
In Liao Lao County, all the chickens raised are black native chickens.
As for specific varieties,
Even Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli, who majored in animal husbandry, couldn't explain clearly.
Very likely,
It was domesticated from pheasants by the ancestors of this generation. It is a very local pheasant.
This kind of chicken will not grow very big.
At their largest, they may only grow to 5 or 6 pounds, but this kind of native chickens generally grow to 3 or 4 pounds.
Its growth rate will become very slow.
10 chickens, not to mention the price.
And others enthusiastically delivered the chickens to their door. In the end, Luo Xuan paid 22 yuan and bought all the chickens.
If these chickens were bought at the price of 2 yuan each.
Luo Xuan is worried about others and will say that he is seeking petty gains.
If he was given a little more money, Luo Xuan was worried that others would feel that he was taken advantage of.
Therefore, the price of a chicken that costs 2 yuan and 20 cents seems to be more appropriate.
golden mean,
Neither being ahead of others nor falling behind.
fine...
After paying the money.
Luo Xuan arranged for Na Zhudi and others to kill the chicken, while Zhang Xiaoli was responsible for stewing the meat.
This kind of thing can only be left to Zhang Xiaoli. Namu and the others can't actually cook good food.
If these two fine local chickens were given to them, Najudi and Namu would only be able to use bamboo slices.
Clamp the chicken and grill it.
The food has just been prepared and everyone is getting ready to eat.
Unexpected!
A group of people came from a distance.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Lao Min carrying large and small bags of things.
He was leading a young woman, a girl who looked younger, and a little boy.
Walked along the trail.
Look at the posture,
Is Lao Min preparing to move?
