Chapter 155: Dengfeng Braised Son? Lei Ancestor Sacrifice
In the next few days, six people were traveling around Zhengzhou, and it was August 26th in a blink of an eye.
The Lazua Festival is about to begin.
Laozu, also known as Leizu, was the daughter of Xiling clan and the Yuan concubine of Huangdi. She was the first to develop the method of planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms, and the technique of drawing silk and weaving silk.
Sacrifice is a ritual whose fundamental purpose is to please the gods, seek welfare, and avoid misfortunes.
This is a bribe and bribery to the gods, and it also expresses the meaning of surrender.
For sacrifices, you should prepare generous offerings, pigs, sheep, and cattle, and cattle are the most important.
When the emperor sacrifices, he must use cows, or cows, pigs, and sheep to sacrifice at the same time. This is the most abundant sacrifice, called Tailao.
The status of the scholar-official officials was lower than that of the emperor. During the sacrifice, they only used pigs and sheep, which was called Shaolao.
The Feng family dared not compare with the scholars and officials. The sacrifices offered were a whole pig. In addition to pigs, there were also sacrifices such as cocoons and silk.
Li Luotang whispered: "Man wants to eat, ghosts want to eat, and God wants to eat."
Baoyue heard it next to her and burst into laughter, "At the beginning of the ceremony, the food and food begin, and this sacrifice is also a ceremony."
This reached a wonderful consensus for the future sister-in-law.
Li Luojie's lips raised slightly. He liked to hear them so well.
The owner of Fengbao was chanting the tribute loudly: "...The insects in the dark are in the dark, and the ends are in the beginning. The mulberry trees are ordered, with lush branches and leaves. Plant mulberry trees and silkworms to open up the metropolis. The silk is woven and weaving, and the eastward trend is becoming a wind. The law makes clothes, and the achievements of the past lifetimes... to show your heart. You are only willing to enjoy it!"
After the Wind Castle Lord finished reading, everyone got up and retreated to the side, emptying the place, and a group of people danced in with silkworm dragons.
Silkworm dragon is made of straw or wheat straw, so it is also called "grass dragon".
There are nine black dots on each side of the silkworm's body, so the silkworm dragon has nine sections.
When the silkworm dragon dances, it imitates the silkworm spins silk and forms cocoons, and shuttles through the strands of silver threads, just like swimming among colorful clouds.
While letting the guests enjoy the performance, the Feng family also prepared tea, snacks and fruits for everyone.
"Ah, there are grapes!" Li Luotang happily picked one.
"Do you like eating grapes?" Feng Xinming didn't know when he had changed his seat with Baoyue.
"I like to eat anything delicious." Li Luotang bit the grapes, separated the skin, swallowed the skin, and placed the skin in a small plate on the table.
"A few months ago, when you came to Zhengzhou, you could still taste peaches, white peaches, fine meat, sweet and a little sour taste, plenty of juice and strong aroma." Feng Xinming smiled.
"I heard that I was drooling." Li Luotang ate two grapes in a row before he relieved his craving.
Feng Xinming smiled and said, "Now is the fruiting period of Xixia kiwi fruit."
Li Luotang had bright eyes, "I want to go to Xixia."
Kiwi fruit!
There are branches of Chu, and the branches of Nuo are ripped.
She likes to eat in modern times.
The smile on Feng Xinming's lips became a little deeper.
The dragon dancer went down, and then the dance was performed.
Ten dancers bent over in a consistent manner, changed hands, moved their legs, and conveyed green seedlings in their hands.
"What are they jumping?" Li Luotang asked.
Feng Xinming smiled and said, "Every spring, farmers use dozens of ways to plant rice seedlings in the fields. An old hammer drum sounded, and a group of songs were heard. It was called 'yangge'."
Fearing that she didn't understand, Feng Xinming added: "This is a manifestation of planting seedlings."
The ten people who planted rice seedlings retreated, and changed to a few women carrying waist baskets. They picked something in their hands and put it into the waist basket.
Feng Xinming said: "This is picking mulberry leaves."
The women sang: "Within ten acres, mulberry is leisurely, and walk back to my son. Outside ten acres, mulberry is discharged, and walk away to my son."
I picked mulberry leaves, fed silkworms, and then weaved silk cloth.
After appreciating these farming dances, the Laozu Festival ended.
Everyone did not plan to stay in Fengjiabao anymore. Huarui and Xue were going back to Hebi City, and Baoyue was going back to Shangqiu City.
"Brother, good opportunity, you can send Sister Bao back to Shangqiu." Li Luotang said excitedly.
The two of them can deepen their relationship when they walk together.
"Don't you go with me?" Li Luojie asked with a frown.
"I want to travel around the world, so I don't want to go with you." Li Luotang curled his lips.
"Isn't it a trip to Shangqiu?" Li Luojie's brows were even tighter.
"I don't want to travel under your shelter." Li Luotang said poutingly.
"Where are you going?" Li Luojie asked.
"Xixia." Li Luotang smiled.
"Why?"
"Go and eat kiwis." Li Luotang said happily.
Li Luojie was stunned and touched his forehead.
Although Li Luojie was very worried, he still did not force Li Luotang.
The next day, several people bid farewell to the Feng family and parted ways.
The weather was too hot, and Li Luotang was not in a hurry to travel. When he arrived in Dengfeng, he found an inn and stayed in.
The Feng family’s hospitality method is impeccable.
However, living in other people's homes is not as comfortable and casual as living in an inn.
Sleeping in the inn until noon, Li Luotang came out to find food.
After finding a store with a cleaner look, Li Luotang walked in.
This is a shop selling Dengfeng braised rice. Li Luotang sat down at the empty table, "Boss, come a bowl of steamed braised rice."
Braised rice is a dish, but Li Luotang uses it as vermicelli.
This dish is made by pouring the bone soup into the starch, then adding minced meat, vermicelli, and five ingredients.
So, it’s not impossible to treat it as vermicelli.
What's more, what Li Luotang wants is steamed, it won't be too salty and has a strong and smooth taste.
After eating a bowl of stewed rice, Li Luotang checked out and walked out of the shop.
Two beggars in tattered clothes walked past her and heard a beggar say, "I was wiped out by pushing the mountain gate."
"Your news is too late, I'll know two days ago." said another beggar.
Li Luotang raised her eyebrows, she knew about it six or seven days ago.
"Do you know who did it?" asked the beggar.
"Uh, I don't know." said another beggar.
Li Luotang didn't know either, so he kept listening with his ears on his back.
"When Fan Jiang, the leader of the sect, was a romantic wanderer when he was young, he learned art from Shaolin Temple and entered the world, and he provoked many heroes from the world. It is said that he had a connection with the peach blossom girl."
"He is really brave." Another beggar exclaimed.
"Peach Blossom Girl" Yan Xiuxiu is famous for both black and white, and is called a witch by Bai Dao.
"He is not only brave, he is simply bold. After he had an affair with Yan Xiuxiu, he disliked Yan Xiuxiu's reputation in the world and abandoned Yan Xiuxiu."
"He is seeking death."
"That's why the family destruction will be destroyed in these twenty years."
"Are you saying true?"
"I..." the beggar turned around, "Young Master, what do you want to do with my brother?"
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to follow you specifically. When you see you talking about pushing the mountain gate, I want to hear it. I followed you without even notice. Please forgive me for any rudeness." Li Luotang quickly explained.
Seeing that she was polite, the two beggars looked at each other, "Young Master, we are just chatting casually about pushing the mountain gate, and we can't take it seriously."
"I will regard it as the spring breeze." Li Luotang smiled.
