While speaking, the leader of the old man said cheerfully: "Welcome our friends and give you our most solemn hospitality. Jump up!"
The next moment, the old man took the lead, and the other old men followed. Everyone was playing the Lusheng and dancing with their legs to the melody. Then the others followed, whether they had Lusheng or not, they all danced along, laughing while dancing...
Jixiang said: "This is the Lusheng dance, the dance of our Laku people. I heard from the teacher that the Lusheng dance is a national intangible cultural heritage and one of the top ten most popular dances in the world."
Having said this, Ji Xiang raised his head with pride.
Fang Zheng also gave a thumbs up and said, "Awesome."
As Jixiang said, the Lusheng dance of the Laku people has its own characteristics. You have to dance while blowing the Lusheng, and you have to ensure that the breath is not disordered. The difficulty is incredible when Fang Zheng thinks about it.
However, I heard from Jixiang that among the Laku people, they all learn to play the Lusheng and dance the Lusheng from an early age, so it is not difficult for them. However, it is difficult for outsiders to learn.
Fang Zheng was also pulled into the crowd by Ji Xiang, gathered around the bonfire, learned other people's kicking methods, and danced along with them. Fortunately, he is extremely strong both mentally and physically, and he learns things very quickly.
After dancing in a circle, you can dance decently.
Seeing this, Uncle Tie gave Fang Zheng a thumbs up, and then pointed at the Lusheng, meaning: Do you want to learn
Fang Zheng was extremely curious and nodded quickly, expressing his intention to learn.
Uncle Tie handed over the Lusheng and began to teach Fang Zheng how to play it. Fang Zheng had excellent physical coordination and actually learned it in a short time. Uncle Tie called him a genius and wanted Fang Zheng to stay.
Fang Zheng quickly declined. There was still a mountain to look forward to at home, so how could he be happy and not miss Shu
Uncle Tie chuckled, his eyes a little lonely, but he was so generous that he immediately forgot about it. He began to teach Fang Zheng how to dance the reed pipe. After Fang Zheng danced, he realized how difficult the dance was. He could play the reed pipe and keep up with the dance steps, but when combined, it was a mess. It wasn’t that I forgot to play while dancing, but that it went out of tune while dancing... and made a lot of jokes in the process.
But half an hour later, everyone looked at Fang Zheng with surprised expressions as he danced very freely while holding Lu Sheng in his arms. Lu Sheng was so faint and so enthusiastic!
"Genius!" The old people all praised him, and at the same time, their eyes looking at Fang Zheng became more and more intense.
Ji Xiang's eyes were filled with stars, as if a groupie had seen a big star.
Fang Zheng didn't know that because he was good at Lusheng dance, his status among the Lahu people was as dazzling as a star, and he was very attractive to women. Therefore, not only Ji Xiang, but also other grown-up and unmarried girls also looked at Fang Zheng and shone brightly.
As Fang Zheng was jumping, he felt like he was deep in the forest and surrounded by wolves. His whole body became hairy, so he quickly returned the Lusheng to Uncle Tie, ran down and sat down.
Ji Xiang also followed. She is now Fang Zheng's little follower and is responsible for explaining everything throughout the process. This really made many young ladies jealous... But everyone was too shy to bother Fang Zheng. They only glanced at Fang Zheng in a charming way from time to time, which made Fang Zheng tremble all over.
Fang Zheng quickly changed the subject and asked Jixiang without looking at them, "Jixiang, where is your brother?"
Ji Xiang didn't pay attention to this. She was also very happy today. She danced with Fang Zheng for a long time, her face turned red, and she blinked her big eyes and said, "My brother is doing razado, I think he will be fine soon."
"Lazhaduo?" Fang Zheng was stunned, with a confused look on his face. He had no record of this thing in his mind.
Looking at Fangzheng's cute look, Jixiang smiled: "Lazhaduo is our name. In Mandarin, it is roasted tea. But our tea is not ordinary tea, it is grown by the older generation. What remains of the ancient tree tea, over the years we have done it manually or hired birds to help remove insects. The ancient tea tree can only grow a little bit a year. I heard adults say that the lowest ancient trees here are two or three. It’s been a hundred years. I don’t know if it’s true, but our tallest ancient tree is ten meters high. It’s much taller than those dwarfs outside.”
Fangzheng had also heard of ancient tree tea, but he had only heard about it and had never seen it in detail. When he heard that there was ancient tree tea here, he became even more curious.
At this time, Uncle Tie came over, put down the Lusheng, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
Jixiang immediately said: "Uncle Tie knows this best. Uncle Tie, can you tell Brother Chang about ancient tree tea?"
Uncle Tie chuckled and said, "Well... Actually, Ancient Tree Tea does have some stories to tell."
Fang Zheng became curious and asked, "Master, please tell me."
Uncle Tie squinted his eyes, as if he was lost in memories, and said faintly: "When it comes to ancient tree tea, this era is too long. In YN, ancient tree tea has been passed down from ancient times to today, but the ancient tree tea The output has never been large. One of the reasons is that the tea trees of ancient tree tea are too tall and picking is very laborious. In the same time, a lot of platform tea more than one meter high can be picked. And ancient tree tea needs to be picked. You have to climb a tree or use a ladder, which seriously affects efficiency.
So I didn't know that the cadre made a stupid move and ordered the ancient tea trees to be sawed off, leaving the short section for later picking. At that time, many people responded to the call and sawed down the ancient tea trees. The tall ancient trees were broken, leaving only the one-meter-high ancient tree stumps. Although it also produces tea, the output... ugh. "
Speaking of this, Uncle Tie looked distressed, took a sip of water, and then continued: "But our village is different. Tuyao Village is too remote. In addition, it was the autumn harvest at that time. Everyone had been busy for a day and was tired. Damn it, who has time to cut down the ancient tea trees? To be honest, this is also fate. At that time, our ancestors were too lazy to cut down the ancient tea trees, so they left a blessing to our descendants, leaving behind such a perfect tea tree. Tea.
The ancient tree tea has deep roots and is self-sufficient in water and nutrients, so we don’t need to take care of it at all, so everything is purely natural and green. An expert came to us before and said that our ancient tree tea contains high levels of absorbable minerals. Long-term drinking can refresh the mind, replenish energy, delay aging, and extend life.
I don't know if it really has this effect, but there are indeed more elderly people in our village who live longer. "
When Fang Zheng heard this, he was also amazed and said: "I didn't expect there to be such a story."
At this moment, Ji Han came, carrying a pot of tea and a clay pot in the other hand. He ran over with a happy face. As soon as he saw him, he said: "Brother Chang Feng, try my family's tea." Tea! My mother made this when I was a kid. It’s been more than ten years. It’s absolutely good tea!”
When Uncle Tie heard this, he laughed and scolded: "You monkey boy, I want to drink this tea, but I can't wait for a year to drink it. When your brother Chang came, he immediately took it out like a treasure. It's a shame for me to treat you." so good."
Ji Han blushed and said, "Uncle, as you know, we don't have much stock at home. I fry it myself. If you like it, I'll fry it for you as much as you want."
Uncle Tie didn't really care, he chuckled and said: "You brat, you just know how to talk. Boy Chang, come and try this tea. This is authentic ancient tree tea, and it has been roasted for many years. This is the real taste." The smell of ancient tree tea.”
Ji Han quickly poured tea for the two of them, and Fang Zheng motioned to Uncle Tie, who was older, to drink first. As a junior, he drinks later.
It's not that Fang Zheng is being pretentious, but after Fang Zheng sat there and observed carefully just now, he discovered that the Laku people respect the elderly very much. At least, Fang Zheng had never seen any young man dare to wander around in front of the old man. If he really wanted to pass by, he would always walk around behind the old man.
Therefore, Fang Zheng naturally had to follow the local customs and maintain respect for the elderly.
At this time, Ji Han picked up a cup of tea, raised it high above his head, put away his usual laughter, and said with a serious face: "Uncle Tie, drink tea."
Uncle Tie smiled happily and took the tea, took a sip and said, "Okay... it's really good tea."
Jixiang quickly explained: "In our place, this is how juniors give tea to their elders."
As he spoke, Ji Xiang also raised his head high and handed it to Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng wiped his nose and calculated his age. He was indeed an elder, so he also took it. However, he did not drink it immediately. Instead, he smiled and said: "Since you call me big brother and offer me tea with a big gift, then I You can’t be stingy anymore.”
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng took out the mobile phone from his pocket. This is Chang Feng's cell phone, not Fang Zheng's. Fang Zheng's cell phone is not around, so I can't give it to him even if he wants to.
As for money? Fang Zheng had already given it to Ji Han, and he didn't have a penny left in him, so naturally he couldn't give it to him.
Fang Zheng handed the phone to Ji Xiang and said, "If anyone in the village misses a child, you can use this phone to video chat with them. From now on, I will deposit phone bills into it every month, so you can just use it."
Ji Xiang originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard this, he hesitated and looked at Uncle Tie subconsciously.
Uncle Tie shook his head and said, "It's too valuable to accept."
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Uncle Tie, do you know how much the jar of tea that Ji Han gave to the poor monk cost outside?"
Uncle Tie cherishes the three-thirds of an acre of Tuyao Village, but he doesn't know much about the outside world. Shaking his head he asked: "How much?"
Fang Zheng said: "This is sold for two yuan, and it is very expensive. Just this jar can be sold for 1,800 yuan. It is still expensive but not marketable! As far as the poor monk knows, this real ancient tree tea, although It is one of YN's signature products, but it is extremely difficult to buy genuine ancient tree tea. Most of the ancient tree teas circulating outside are fake. Therefore, based on this calculation, the price can be higher.
In addition, your ancient tree tea is green, pure and natural, coming from deep in the mountains, so the price can be even higher. So, after all this calculation, I still made a profit. "
PS: No, I have to go get a haircut. The barbershop will be closed soon.
