Fragrant flowers, fine wine, flames, bonfires, pretty girls, the moonlight is intoxicating, and the paintings are as beautiful as scrolls. On this night, the girls dressed in national costumes, danced the national dance, and sang ancient national love songs.
"I'm at one end of the river,
I can’t forget the way you looked back when you left,
Standing by the river again and again,
I hope you will come back from your long journey.
I'm at one end of the river,
Like the stars in the sky waiting for you,
when you think of me,
Don't forget to raise your head, those are my affectionate eyes..."
This poem is very long, and girls in every costume festival have to sing several verses. The lyrics tell the story of two young lovers who were separated because of the war. It is divided into two parts. The first part
The first part talks about the girl's longing for her lover day and night in her hometown, and the second part talks about the boy's undying love for the girl. Later, the girl waited from a fifteen-year-old girl to twenty-five years old, and she never had a lover.
If there is any news, she has no choice but to stay away from her hometown and go to distant places to find the person she misses. But what awaits her is a tragic fate. The boy died in the battle ten years ago, leaving only a suicide note, which tells the story of
Because of his love for the girl, the girl couldn't bear the separation of life and death. She found the battlefield where the boy died and committed suicide with a sword there.
This poem has few happy parts and many sad parts. It is sad and moving. It has always been sung among young men and women and has become a love song and a holiday song here.
Because this costume festival is for girls, the songs are all about girls' longing for boys. During the men's costume festival, the other half will be sung, which is the story in the 'suicide note'. Bimoye understood during the banquet
After understanding the meaning of the poem, I only found it quite touching and didn’t have many other thoughts. However, there were some girls near him who had not participated in the costume festival and were weeping bitterly.
The place where this night banquet was held was in the wild, and there happened to be a small river next to it. Everyone was sitting cross-legged on the carpet. Because the protagonists of the festive night banquet were young men and women in costumes, the people sitting in the middle circle of the venue were all
For unmarried young people of this age group, adults sit in the outer circle. Only a few elders, elders or people with status within the town's clan are allowed to sit in the middle.
After the singing, there is the assistant dance. The assistant dancer is first danced by the married young men and women, which is intended to show how happy and happy they will be after getting married. After the married assistant dancer, then the young guys will dance together.
After they dance a section, the girls from the costume festival will come up to dance, and the boys will dance with them. Once here, the climax of the entire costume night party begins. During this long dance period, the girl will invite everyone over the age of seventeen to dance.
For unmarried male dancers, if a girl falls in love with a boy while dancing, she will take off the garland bell tied to her wrist and give it to the boy, and the boy can hold hands with the girl and dance together, which also means that they have become a couple.
Each other is the marriage partner. Therefore, this is a very solemn link, and it is also one of the three links at the night party that can make a lifelong commitment.
Bimoye felt that the local folk customs in various countries were very different and very interesting, and he was willing to experience this ethnic customs here. At this time, various delicacies were also served on everyone's banquet table. Petal sugar cakes, hazelnuts, grapes
Fruits, mostly sweet fruits, no meat at all, and some drinks.
The wine is good. Bimoye has never smelled such a fragrant wine. Although he is not an alcoholic or addicted to alcohol, he also knows the quality of wine. He heard from people at the table that this wine was brewed by locals.
It is brewed with flower petals and a kind of local grain. It has a strong aroma and the output is very small. Only at night banquets, everyone will take out this kind of wine to drink. It is not easy to drink it at ordinary times. And now I still drink it.
It's not the best. Only when it comes to the wine presentation and toasting stage, will the best and most fragrant wine be brought out.
Bimoye was surprised when he heard this. The wine he was drinking now was fragrant enough. The aroma could be smelled miles away. There would be better ones later. How good could it be?
Among the companions who came with him, there were two good drinkers. They couldn't help it when they smelled the aroma of wine. They were like old cows seeing red cloth or hungry dogs seeing big bone sticks. Because the wine bottles are made of wood.
, the wine bottle and the cork are like one piece, and they need a special wine opener to open it. They don't know how to use it, and they find it troublesome. When they smell the aroma of wine next to it, they can't help it, so they anxiously open the cork with their teeth.
The cow started drinking.
After drinking this, they drank more than half of the small bottle of wine. After drinking it, they took a long sip, with faces of satisfaction and happiness, and they were completely immersed in the taste of the wine.
A young man next to him was horrified when he saw the two of them drinking like this. He shouted: "You can't drink like this, you can't drink like this. You are ruining such a good wine by drinking like this."
The two people were puzzled and looked at him doubtfully.
The young man said: "Our wine is called 'Huameicao Fragrance Wine'. It is not easy to brew a bottle. It takes a lot of effort, including the brewing process, the method of making, the time of brewing, and the contents of the wine.
The utensils and the final method of drinking are all very particular. If you drink like this, you are really wasting this bottle of good wine."
These two people don't know that such a small bottle of 'Flower Beauty and Grass Wine' can easily cost tens of thousands of gold when sold abroad. It is one of the main incomes of local villages and towns. The secret recipe has never been shared, so the output is very small.
.And this is not a matter of money. The locals are warm and hospitable. They don’t mind inviting outsiders to their own folk festivals and serving their own wine. However, the valuable thing is that brewing this wine is cumbersome and time-consuming. It can only be used in the right season.
Only the best method can be used to brew the best wine. If you can't use the best and most correct method to drink the wine, wouldn't it be a waste?
These two fools were too hasty, and then they realized that they had made a mistake. They quickly said sorry and apologized. They also asked how to drink the wine.
The young man was angry, but in line with the custom of hospitality, he patiently taught them how to drink the "Flower Flower and Grass Wine". He said: "Our wine is mainly made from the petals of the Yinglu flower and green corn.
After it is finished, it is made into a bottle of white sandwood and bottled for storage. All the aroma of the wine is sealed and concentrated in the wine by the white sandwood. As soon as the bottle is opened, the aroma of the wine cannot be fully released, so green corn leaves must be thrown into the bottle.
, so that the aroma and sweetness of the wine can be released quickly." As he demonstrated, he put the two rice leaves that came with the wine into the bottle, and the aroma of the wine suddenly became richer and more wonderful.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The two fools' eyes were straightened by the smell, and they quickly followed the same steps, then poured the wine into a glass specially designed for holding wine, and drank it in one gulp
His eyes were shining brightly, and the two wine lovers were so beautiful that they were intoxicated. The taste of the wine was many times sweeter than that of Gangniu. It was simply wonderful. The two of them cried out in their hearts that they regretted it. They regretted just now.
If you don't ask clearly before drinking, the little bit left is not enough for two or three glasses, and it's impossible to get another bottle.
Bimoye listened clearly to the drinking method taught by the young man, put two rice leaves into the wine bottle, poured out a small cup of delicious wine and drank it. The wine tasted sweet but not astringent, sweet but not greasy, and had a refreshing fragrance.
People have endless aftertaste. Even people who don’t like to drink can only use one word after drinking this wine-beautiful! Another word-wonderful!
In their mercenary group, there were only three of them who were old enough and unmarried. Therefore, in the front circle, other people who came to participate could only sit at the back of the outer circle, and there was no bottle, only one cup. It was interesting, otherwise there would be no
There were so many bottles of wine for everyone to drink. After the two people finished their own wine, they could only look at Bimoye's wine eagerly. They were all looking at each other with pleading faces, hoping that Bimoye would be merciful and reward them both.
He was a little more humane. But Bimoye simply turned a blind eye, pretending not to know anything and not seeing anything. There was only a bit of snickering on his face showing pride.
How could the two people not see Bimoye's evil smile? They both had serious faces: "Stingy Qi Jin, what are you doing? My friend just said that there will be wine to drink later, I'm not in a hurry."
Bimoye still ignored him, and drank another glass.
The two of them were so angry that their eyes were red: "Drink, drink, drink, I'll drink you to death. It's like you've never drunk in your last life. Humph! I'm so angry."
Undine looked on and couldn't help but burst out in joy, and begged for them: "Bimoye, look at how pitiful they are, just give them a little share."
As soon as the two people heard that Undine spoke for them, hope ignited in their eyes again.
Bimoye still said mischievously: "Didn't they just say that there will be wine for a while? I don't care about this, let them wait."
When the two of them heard this, they were so filled with hatred that they turned around and never looked back.
Undine looked at the two people and felt a little guilty for not being able to help. However, she saw that Bimoye was drinking with peace of mind and didn't care at all.
Bimoye glanced sideways, saw Undine's expression, and then leaned forward and whispered: "I deliberately made them angry. These two guys usually always say bad things about me behind my back, thinking I don't know. Humph, today too
It's my turn to make them angry."
Undine covered her mouth and smiled: "Hehe, it turns out you heard it all. I thought you didn't know. But I didn't know you were so bad and vindictive."
"That's right, I will hold a grudge." Bimoye smiled and poured another glass of wine. He and Undine spent time together day and night. Over time, those traits were gone, not to mention that Undine was still a woman.
Cute little elf, little goblin. He handed the wine to Undine: "Would you like a drink? It's delicious."
Undine hesitated for a moment, twisted her body, and shook her head: "No, you better drink it." She actually wanted to drink it when she smelled the aroma of the wine, not to mention that the wine was full of floral and woody aroma, which was hers.
My favorite, it's just that her last drinking experience made her afraid to give it a try. The last time someone deliberately teased her and tricked her into taking a sip of strong wine, she just took a small sip and her cheeks turned red.
She was cute, talked nonsense, and said a lot of incomprehensible things, and then flew around the room like a headless fly. People who saw her made fun of her for a long time, but they didn't dare to do it again this time.
Drink.
Bimoye advised: "It's okay. This wine is really good. I think it will be good for you if you drink it. If you don't believe me, try it."
"Really?" Undine didn't believe that anyone would believe Bimoye. Seeing that Bimoye was so determined to let her drink, she leaned forward to the wine glass, lowered her head and took a shallow sip. After a taste, she was indeed convinced.
She thought it was very delicious. Before Bimoye could say anything, she took another sip, and then another sip. It was fine at first, but the wine had a strong stamina, and it didn't take long for her to drink seven or eight sips of the warm wine in succession.
Tini started to feel dizzy, and then she swayed and fell into Bimoye's arms, but this time it was better and she didn't say any nonsense.
Bimoye carefully picked her up and laid her down next to her. Now Undine's water vapor has stabilized and she is not worried about the danger of the elements dissolving. Bimoye ate the fruit by himself and continued to experience this national celebration.
After drinking for a while, a beautiful figure suddenly walked up to Bimoye's table and gave him an invitation gesture. Bimoye took a look and saw that the woman wearing a wreath on her head and a floral dress was the woman who was on the float during the day.
The girl in blue floral dress that I saw above is the most beautiful one among all the girls participating in the costume festival as Sanchi said. Although the girl has changed her dress at this time, she is still dressed in blue. Looking at it from such a close distance, she just feels
Her eyes are like pearls and the bright moon, her delicate nose, beautiful lips, a pair of picturesque eyebrows, rosy cheeks, teeth like rhinoceros, and her hair is like a waterfall. With the blue clothes on her body, she looks like a fairy in the moon.
The elves in the flowers are charming.
Bimoye didn't expect that she would suddenly come to his desk. When she saw him, he was a little startled.
