Crazy Farm

The Old Age Palace in Dakang Village is at the entrance of the village, facing the road at the entrance of the village. Due to the economic conditions of Dakang Village, the office of the village committee is also in the Senior Citizens Palace.

On weekdays, the old age palace is mainly for the activities of the elderly, such as playing cards, mahjong and chess.

Today's old age palace is much more lively than usual, even more lively than when the village sang a big drama every few years.

On the wall at the entrance of the Palace of the Elderly, some ribbons and some festive things are hung up, and there are even more couplet banners.

Most of the people in the village took time off today and did not go to work. The gate of the old age palace was crowded, and from time to time someone helped the old man to go inside. The village has not been so festive for a long time. In addition to the elderly, many villagers come here to join in the fun.

Everyone in the village has heard about it. Today, not only did the centenary banquet and red envelopes be given away, but also a very good opera troupe was invited. Therefore, people from the neighboring villages also came to watch the opera.

"Shanzi is here!"

"Shanzi."

"Come on."

When Wang Leshan arrived at the gate of the Old Age Palace, everyone he saw greeted Wang Leshan with smiles all over his face. Shanzi also responded with a smile and walked in.

"Is this the Wang Leshan?"

"Tsk tsk, so young! I thought it was quite big!"

"Of course I'm young, I'm just 20 years old today, and I'm not old enough to marry a wife. I've heard that there are many people in Dakang Village and our other villages who want to match him! "

"I heard that this little boy rented out the wasteland at the foot of the Dakang Mountain for one million yuan. How can he be so rich at such a young age?"

"You probably haven't heard how much the vegetables grown on his farm sell for. Corn and potatoes are sold for more than ten yuan, but they are more expensive than meat, but there are still people rushing to buy them! Can you make money?"

"Yeah, I heard that the income of the village committee of Dakang Village depends on him alone. Also, he built this and that on his farm. The people in the village work every day, 150 a day, sometimes 200, and I still eat big fish and meat and these sky-high corn potatoes every day.”

"What's that! I heard about the bosses who go to the farm to buy goods. Disperse cigarettes for the people who help out there, and all that is scattered are soft Chinese, and,

Pack by pack! If nothing else, just the smoke. Think about it, tsk tsk tsk..."

"I also heard that this Wang Leshan has a very good relationship with the leaders of the town and even the city! It seems that the mayor will come today."

"Do you think this is the appearance of the dragon god on the Dakang Mountain? If such a young man is born, he will not talk about making money himself, but also thinking of helping the villagers to make money! You said that our village can't produce such talents. !"

"Talent? Where is this talent? This is the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth! With this God of Wealth, Dakang Village is really going to be released this time!"

...

The villagers of Dakang Village, both inside and outside the Palace of Elders, listened to the words of those who came from neighboring villages to watch the big play, and the corners of their mouths went to the back of their heads. Straighten your back, raise your eyebrows!

For many years, the villagers of Dakang Village have not had this kind of enjoyment!

Wang Leshan walked into the old age palace, and it was obviously cleaned up, and some places were even slightly renovated. It has been more than 20 years since the old age palace was built, and there are quite a few couplets in it. Originally, I could not read the characters clearly. Now I have remade some of them, and I can see the characters clearly.

When he was a child, Wang Leshan always wondered what those blurred words were, but now he can finally see it clearly. Especially the couplet on the front of the stage.

"Gods are people, ghosts are people, people are people, one or two people are ever-changing"

"The chariots step, the soldiers step, the walking steps, three or five steps all over the world"

Ten tables have been set up in front of the stage below the stage, some cold dishes have been placed on the tables, and many elderly people are already seated on the side.

The elderly invited for the Double Ninth Festival are all 60 years old and above. There are about 100 elderly people in this age group in Dakang Village. There are more than 90 people who can go out with the help of their family members, which is just enough to sit at ten tables.

Of course, the chef in charge of this hundred-year-old banquet is Fan Mingwei, and the second assistant is Zhu Dandi. When Zhu Dandi heard Wang Leshan's words, he agreed, but when he came, he was even more shocked when he saw Fan Mingwei. The goods from Dandi Restaurant were always delivered by the farm, so Zhu Dandi never saw Fan Mingwei. . Not to mention asking him to be a deputy to a master idol in the industry, even if it is to wash vegetables by hand, he is willing.

In addition to these two people, there are also several restaurant owners in the town. I don't know where they heard the news. They came over early this morning to stock up, and then used the excuse that there was nothing today. In the past, I went to fight for Fan Mingwei. This saves a lot of things, and some women will wash the dishes and serve the dishes, and the matter of this hundred-year-old banquet will be settled.

The temporary open-air kitchen is at the side door of the old age palace, and many people who come in and out, from the village or from the neighboring village, have recognized the chefs who are working there, and they have almost dropped their jaws.

Brother Zhu Dan and those restaurant owners are all characters in the town. It is enough to invite them together to oversee the village's hundred-year-old banquet. I didn't expect these bosses to come here to fight, real chefs. Others.

There are villagers who have heard of Fan Mingwei's name, but they are very enthusiastic, and people who don't know each other in the neighboring village give a thumbs up and say that this is a famous chef in the Yangtze River Delta. He was originally a chef at the Sunshine Hotel in the city. of. I don't know where I heard it, but I told Fan Mingwei's glorious deeds on the 18th floor of the Sunshine Hotel in a straight-forward manner, what a table of 5888, and it was so vivid that the people in the neighboring villages were speechless. , The more they were frightened and envious, the more the villagers said it!

"Shanzi is here."

A group of people came to meet Wang Leshan, including the village chief Wang Dabao and several village cadres, as well as the mayor Lin Xiaohu, and a few middle-aged people whom Wang Leshan did not know, all of whom greeted them with smiles.

"Uncle Dabao, Mayor Lin, hello everyone."

Wang Leshan greeted everyone politely, calling Lin Xiaohu Brother Tiger in private, but on occasions like this, of course, it would be better to call the mayor respectfully.

"Just right."

Wang Dabao smiled and introduced to Wang Leshan a few people standing beside Lin Xiaohu, some were the town's masters, section chiefs, and some were the village chiefs of several villages in the town.

Then I talked to Wang Leshan about the activity process before the play, and I still wanted Wang Leshan to speak. After Wang Leshan heard this, he immediately waved his hand to beg for mercy. Seeing this, Wang Dabao didn't want to persevere, so he gave Wang Leshan another "task", which was to give money to the elderly on behalf of the village. Just have to.

After a while, the old people were invited by the villagers or their family members to sit down. Those from neighboring villages who came to watch the play either sat on the rows of benches behind the ten tables, or stood on both sides. There are already many people in the old age palace, sitting and standing, full to the brim.

The gong and drum troupe on the stage was in place, and after a cheerful and festive gong and drum, the village chief Wang Dabao who had already prepared took a microphone and walked out from the side of the "General".

"Hello folks!"

Wang Dabao usually shouts through the loudspeakers in the village, but it is the first time for him to speak to so many people on stage. There are so many people from neighboring villages and the leaders of the town. Obviously a little nervous.

However, the leader of Yitong coughed a few words, but calmed down.

After talking on the phone, I was basically thanking the old people for coming, the villagers in the neighboring villages for coming, and the leaders of the town for coming. Then I talked about the big events and happy events that happened in the village this year, and praised Wang Leshan vigorously, and then It is to wish the elderly a happy Double Ninth Festival, health and longevity.

"Today, we are very fortunate that the mayor of our Sanhe Town also came to our village. Now, we welcome the mayor of Lin Xiaohu to speak."

Wang Dabao invited Mayor Lin and handed the microphone to him.

Lin Xiaohu took the microphone and said with a smile: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, the Seniors' Day. I am very happy to be able to come to Dakang Village to participate in this Double Ninth Festival. Respecting and loving the elderly is a fine tradition of our Chinese nation. A big event. As the saying goes, if there is an old man in a family, there is a treasure. There are so many old people in Dakang Village, that is, there is a treasure mountain! On behalf of the town government and myself, I wish all the old people good health, long life and happiness!”

After that, he handed the microphone back to Wang Dabao.

Wang Dabao took the microphone, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Originally, the next paragraph, I want to ask Wang Leshan Shanzi, a young talent from our village, to say it, but Shanzi is thin-skinned and embarrassed to come on stage."

The audience laughed kindly together, and responded with warm applause to Wang Leshan who was under the stage. Wang Leshan smiled and waved at the big guy, Wang Dacheng and Hong Ximei who were beside Wang Leshan were all smiles.

After Wang Dabao stopped the applause, he said, "Then I'll tell Shanzi, all the old folks, eat and drink well! The centenary banquet is open!"

The people who had already prepared from the side door walked in one by one with trays. This was the first dish, rice noodles made from Linggu. Fan Mingwei cooked the longevity "noodles" strictly according to the eating habits suitable for the elderly. "Longevity is boundless", one end came in, and the aroma was overflowing immediately.

At this time, Wang Dabao also stepped off the stage, and the gong and drum troupe also beat up, and the show started!

Today's first play is called "Full Bed Wat". It is about the 60th birthday of Guo Ziyi, a famous Tang Dynasty general. All seven sons and eight sons-in-law came to pay their respects. Since they were all high-ranking officials of the court, they all had a wat board in their hands. board headboard. Taking advantage of Yu's family's prosperity, wealth and filial piety, it is also very suitable for the occasion.

After the first show, there is still the "original copy" called "Magu's Birthday", and the "Zhuangyuan Seal" and "Pan Taohui" to be sung in the evening are all related to the birthday.

This time, the troupe was invited to sing for three days. The first day was all about auspiciousness, and the next two days would perform some popular songs. (To be continued.)
