My Deep-sea Fishery

Grandpa Fu looked at Zhang Qicheng, then asked Xiang Yang, "Yangzi, who is this?"

"Zhang Qicheng, Boss Zhang, one of the main sponsors of this pagoda burning event." Xiang Yang said.

Only then did Grandpa Fu explain to Zhang Qicheng: "It's not that there are hundreds of people watching, but there are at least a few hundred people just participating in the activities."

"At that time around Huhai Town, all the elders, the blind daters around, and the passers-by were all visiting. The scene was really crowded with people, and there were constant matchmaking and bustling. The roadside vendors were selling melon seeds and peanuts, and the children were struggling to eat rice. Sugar osmanthus cake or sugar oil cake."

"There are also sweet and sour pear sellers, all kinds of shouts come and go, one voice is louder than the other, which made me almost cry at the time, clung to my parents' hands and would not let go, saying nothing to buy."

Grandpa Fu laughed when he said this, his wrinkled face was very happy, his eyes were full of memories, "Mom and Dad were so pestered by me that they bought me two candies. Oil cake."

Xiang Yang smiled. In the 35th year of the Republic of China, sugar oil cakes and rice sugar osmanthus cakes were very precious things, and they were the most important commodities at that time.

These products are also available today. Although they are all very worthless things, ordinary children can afford them with their pocket money, and many people don’t like them, but Xiang Yang didn’t interrupt Grandpa Fu’s words. The nose is very good. Businessmen in the 35th year of the Republic of China can smell business opportunities to make money. In today's era, if there is such a grand event, there is no reason for businessmen not to smell.

Grandpa Fu's eyes were more reminiscent, and he continued: "During the Fire God Festival, I was dragged home by my mother to eat Chinese New Year dumplings, and by the time I finished the reunion dinner and rushed to Huhai Town Old Street, the Fire God Festival had already ended Now, the scene is preparing to light the fire."

"At that time, there were hundreds of people beating gongs and drums, and some people were performing acrobatics. At that time, the elders of the clan invited the most respected elders to light the first fire in the pagoda. Afterwards, many stewards continued to add firewood to the tower."

Xiang Yang smiled at this time and said: "Grandpa Fu, if we really follow this tradition in Qinglong Bend this year, you will be the first to light the fire."

Zhang Qicheng didn't say a word, anyway, it's not his turn to burn the fire, and it's the same for him who burns the first fire.

Grandfather Fu is one of the oldest people in the village, and he has been the principal of the village primary school for decades. He is a respected elder, and he fits everything.

Grandpa Fu waved his hand quickly, "I'm old, I can't burn anymore, now times have changed, and it will be your young people's world in the future, I think you, Xiang Yang, will burn the first fire."

What Grandpa Fu thinks is that Xiang Yang is the most capable person in the several villages near Qinglong Bend. During this time, he has also done a lot for Yanlong Village, making many villagers in Yanlong Village earn Some money, and even more in the future, Xiang Yang's contribution to Yanlong Village is greater than his.

The most important thing is that a large-scale event like burning the pagoda costs a lot of money, and this money can only be collected through Xiang Yang, so it is only natural that Xiang Yang should burn the first fire.

When Xiang Yang heard the words, he immediately refused. First, Xiang Yang didn't want to fight for this false name, and second, there were many people who were older and more respected than Xiang Yang.

Zhang Qicheng said directly: "I think Mr. Xiang can light the first fire."

Zhang Qicheng has his own thoughts. It was not Zhang Qicheng's turn to burn the pagoda first, but there is a chance that it will be Xiang Yang's turn. Anyway, Zhang Qicheng and Xiang Yang are now partners. If Xiang Yang benefits, He, Zhang Qicheng, will definitely benefit from it.

"Don't refuse." Zhang Qicheng patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder, "The so-called gift from the elders is irresistible. Grandpa Fu entrusted you with this task because he has high hopes for you. He hopes that you can bring your parents and fellow villagers with you. The future will be better and better, and the days will be more and more prosperous, this is a responsibility."

There was also anticipation in Grandpa Fu's eyes.

Xiang Yang smiled wryly, "If the two of you say that, then I have no way to refuse it, so let me burn it."

Immediately, Grandpa Fu and Zhang Qicheng both laughed.

Xiang Yang glanced at Fu Grandpa and Zhang Qicheng respectively. One of these two people has no selfish intentions, and they just want to do something for their hometown, and they are willing to give up the power to burn the first fire to themselves. The other one is very purposeful. If I don't light the first fire, I'm afraid I will have other ideas.

Thinking about it this way, Xiang Yang might have to burn the first fire.

"Grandpa Fu, can you tell me about the historical stages of burning the pagoda? I am ashamed to say that although I was born in Qinglongwan and grew up in Huhai Town, this is the first time I have heard of the burning of the pagoda." Yang way.

Grandpa Fu thought for a while, "The pagoda-burning activity at the beginning must not be pursued, but it is certain that it has already existed in the late Qing Dynasty. The people organized it spontaneously, and in the ten years of the Republic of China, Huhai Town was established and developed, and it became a collective event held by the whole town.”

"There was a gap of several decades, and now the older generation went to heaven one by one. Young people, even a native like you has never heard of the pagoda being burned by the ancestors in the past. "

Zhang Qicheng immediately made a distressed expression, "This is the inheritance culture of our Dragon City, and it is an excellent intangible cultural heritage. We can't let it be ruined in the hands of our generation. In my opinion, the burning of the pagoda is a big problem." It is necessary to carry forward.”

Grandpa Fu looked at Zhang Qicheng with a smile.

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, feeling that Zhang Qicheng was shouting slogans in front of Grandpa Fu. Grandpa Fu walked more bridges than Xiang Yang and Zhang Qicheng combined. He shouted slogans in front of Grandpa Fu, Grandpa Fu It is strange that the heart can fluctuate.

In fact, there was no need to say what Zhang Qicheng said.

Because there are no outsiders here at all.

Although the three people present had different purposes, their goals were the same. They all wanted to hold the pagoda burning event.

Needless to say, Grandfather Fu, his purpose of burning the pagoda was just like Zhang Qicheng said, not to let the inheritance be broken in his hands.

Zhang Qicheng's purpose is also quite simple, he made no secret that he wanted to bring himself a prosperous business scene by burning the pagoda.

Xiang Yang has some expectations. On the one hand, he hopes that his business will be prosperous, and on the other hand, he also hopes that Qinglong Bend can develop. Xiang Yang is not sure whether doing this will benefit the development of Qinglong Bend. Benefits, but as long as it is possible to benefit things, he is willing to try.
