Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 350
Xu Si nodded and said, "So that's it! I said why I can't make good chicken soup now, and it seems to be the reason!"

Li Junge said again: "It's not only meat that has this problem, but also vegetables. Vegetables consume their own nutrients in the process of transportation and storage. Vegetables are picked from harvesting to loading, and then transported from other places to Sichuan. The market has shifted to the retail market, and a few days have passed in between. The sugar, water, and nutrients in the vegetables have all been consumed by themselves, and the taste is definitely not as good as freshly picked."

Xu Si said with a smile: "Your place is really a good place, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and a lot of delicious food. It really makes people want to leave when they come."

Li Junge said with a smile: "The beauty of mountains and rivers is beneficial to people's spirit and body. The boss is from an art background, so he should have a deeper understanding of this."

Xu Si was depressed again, and said: "I have experience, but I can't speak the truth, and I can't explain this experience to the students."

Li Junge said: "Actually, our ancestors have long said, 'The wise enjoy water;

"Three sentences, the first sentence is about the nature of benevolence and wisdom, the second sentence is about the use of benevolence and wisdom, and the third sentence is about the effect of benevolence and wisdom."

"Because morality comes from human nature, and human nature comes from nature. The beauty of nature is reflected in people's hearts, and what comes out of it is art."

"Thus, those who pursue morality are more fond of art; while those who are engaged in art are more interested in the ideological nature of their works; this is because the two are based on nature and have the effect of mutual inspiration."

"The kite flies in the sky, the fish sinks in the abyss, and when you look up and know it in your heart, it is the unity of nature and man. It is also the unity of virtue and art, that is, the unity of goodness and beauty."

"The unity of goodness and beauty is sacred. To achieve this, you must be sincere and righteous, and study things to gain knowledge. This is true, so it is the unity of truth, goodness and beauty."

"This is the deep purpose of the unity of nature and man advocated by our ancestors. Therefore, it is said that being able to appreciate the natural beauty of mountains and rivers is beneficial to personal artistic cultivation and moral level."

Xu Si was so stunned that he forgot to eat, took Li Junge's hand and said ecstatically: "It must be a master who can express such an opinion! Oh, what I just said just said that I have gone to the bottom of my heart! You dial it like this, it’s so bright! Hahahaha!"

Li Junge laughed and said, "It would be great if I could figure this out by myself. This is what my fourth grandfather said. I can't reach this level! But if you are interested, Boss, you can wait until the matter here is over. Go talk to him, I believe you should be able to talk."

Xu Si said with a smile: "Then I have to go! I have a strong premonition that if I come to you this time, maybe my level will improve again..."

After dinner, a group of people began to squeeze to the edge of the old kiln to study the coal sand mud teapot.

Grandpa explained the manufacturing process of the coal sand pot to Xu Si.

Xu Si admired the naturally burnt pine flowers on the body of the pot: "It's really ingenious. This is the most natural texture. I have to think about how the design can match the pattern to be perfect..."

Li Junge took Xu Si's hand and said: "Inspiration is a thing, it's better to hang around outside when you think about it alone. Come on, come with me to Fawang Temple, and bring a set of pots for Master Guoshan to try it out."

Now is the most beautiful season in Phoenix Mountain. Peach trees, pear trees, and plum trees in the middle of the mountain are all blooming, scattered in the green bamboo groves and beside the clear stream, adding a lively scene to the mountain forest. The scenery is the same as usual. The tranquility is very different.

As soon as he arrived at the mountain gate, Xu Si didn't leave again, and surrounded the cute version of the Four King Kongs who were giggling in front of the mountain gate and kept saying it was funny.

Li Junge waited patiently for a while at first, but Xu Si yelled and asked Li Hanqiu to put on airs, and the two started sketching there.

Li Hanqiu glanced at Li Junge apologetically, stuck out his tongue and said, "Erpi, there is no other way, the boss has an order, you should go see Master Guoshan first."

Well, Li Junge had nothing to do with them, so he went directly to Master Guoshan to discuss the matter of releasing animals.

When he came to the meditation room, he took out the tea set and showed it to Master Guoshan. Master Guoshan brewed a pot of tea, put it in the cup, looked at the color of the tea, put it under his nose and smelled it, took a sip, and said, "Good pot! The flavor of this tea is [-]% stronger than that brewed in ordinary teapots."

Li Junge smiled and said: "I can't drink it, but since you said yes, it must be very good. By the way, there is a pair of villains at the gate of the mountain, who are blocking the door and painting. Master, you are much better." Wait and wait."

After talking about the origins of Li Hanqiu and Xu Si, Master Guoshan also laughed, and said: "This benefactor Xu is rare, this is called the heart of a child."

Li Junge said: "If Boss Xu likes your Fawang Temple, he may bother you in the next few days, so I will trouble you, Master Guoshan."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "I chatted with him for a while. This person seems to be very talented, but his theoretical level seems to be behind. From what he said, he knows how to use many expression methods, but he can't explain the reason. You talk to him more. Let him talk about this aspect, the three religions have a certain interpretation of nature and art, I hope it can help him."

That night, after another fast meal at Fawang Temple, Li Junge took Li Hanqiu back to Lijiagou.

Xu Si really didn't want to leave, and after finishing another sketch, he and Master Guoshan stayed in the meditation room with a handful of pine nuts and two cups of tea. This was the rhythm of chatting all night.

In the blink of an eye, the eighth day of April arrived, and two additional shifts were opened at Wuxi No. [-] to pick up all the believers, and everyone gathered on the river beach in Jiuchangju.

The two boats of fry were also escorted by Feng Zhengjian, and stopped in the middle of Wuxi River early.

More and more people gathered on the river beach, and even many non-Buddhist folks put down their farm work and came here.

Li Junge also used Lingquan to catalyze [-] local special fish in Lijiagou, and was going to participate in the release ceremony together.

Grandma is very concerned about this matter, and personally directed the building of a stove in front of the ancestral hall, soaking beans, and grinding soy milk. Now, she is cooking soy milk and steaming rice with bean curd with the old Buddhist sisters in the village.

On a few small tables next to them, the seasoning plates were prepared in advance, and piled up into beautiful obelisks.

This year's vegetable oil has just been squeezed out for a few days, so lettuce oil Ciba pepper seasoning is used, which is also the favorite taste of Jiachuan people.

Master Guoshan put on cassock today, and his appearance is different from that of an old farmer in the past, which can be regarded as a solemn Dharma appearance.

Before the arrival of Wuxi No. [-], Master Guoshan first held a TV drama launch ceremony for Si Xingzhun and his party in front of the ancestral hall, and then rushed to the water's edge to lead a group of devotees to perform the ritual of releasing life.

The release of life comes from a Buddhist story. According to legend, the Buddha Lord Sakyamuni recited the name of Baoji Buddha for the fish that was released in his previous life.

This ritual is quite complicated, with as many as sixteen or seven steps, singing praises, proclaiming the holy, chanting mantras, asking the holy, repenting, taking refuge, chanting Buddha, turning back... There are many methods, which need not be elaborated.

After the ceremonies were held, Li Junge stood among the crowd, noticing that the crowd who were laughing and laughing at the beginning gradually showed a hint of piety on their faces, and each of them lowered their eyebrows in obedience and respect.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the power of religion, if used well, has great power in cultivating people's hearts.

When it was time for the release ceremony, Feng Zheng opened the cage door, and countless fry swam into the river with the flowing water, starting their new life journey.

Under the guidance of Master Guoshan, a group of good believers sang praises in unison: "The fetal eggs are wet, addicted for many kalpas, take refuge in the Three Jewels, get Bodhi, avoid being caught by cage nets, fly in the sea and sky, follow the Buddha to live in the west, and live in the south without birth." The Bodhisattva Mahasattva Maha Prajna Paramita in the Buddha Realm..."

Once the ceremony was completed, it was already lunch time, and Master Guoshan led the crowd to the threshing ground in front of the ancestral hall, began to perform the ceremony of offering food, and then started the fasting meal.

I added some fresh peas to the soybeans harvested last autumn, and the white bean curd was greenish-white, served with golden 'cellar water', as well as fresh vegetable oil chili peppers, steamer rice, and a little bathing kimchi , it is full of the fresh taste of the fields, the chopsticks are tough, and the entrance is delicate, everyone eats with a smile.

Since the fourth grandpa’s birthday last year, Lijiagou has not been this lively for a long time. There are [-] tables, and everyone invites friends and friends to join the table temporarily, chatting while eating.

Li Junge and a group of young people sat together and chatted.

Both Si Xingzhun and Xu Si are engaged in art, and they are both young. They look like they hate seeing each other late.

Si Xingzhun also encouraged Xu Si to stay for a while longer, telling him to visit the Miao village after seeing the ancestral hall from the ancient buildings in Pan'ao Township, and then walk around the village, going through all the bamboo weaving and stone carving women's reds, and making full preparations for the next visit. It will definitely benefit a lot from fourth grandpa to supplement the theory, and he came here last year like this.

Xu Si nodded again and again, saying that he really learned a lot when he came out this time. He used to learn professional knowledge, and many of them knew it but didn't know why.This time, I was first inspired by Erpi, and then I chatted with Master Guoshan for a few days, and I felt that I was about to dig my roots.

Inspiration has sprung up again in the past few days, and I will wait around here in Lijiagou, ask for advice from the fourth grandfather, design a good work and make it, and then bring it to everyone for corrections.

The two talked about art, and the conversation was a bit foggy. Li Junge couldn't understand most of the time, and he was more concerned about Xiao Zhi's body, so he put aside the two and asked Xiao Zhi: "Xiao Zhi, how is life in Lijiagou? Get used to it?"

Xiaozhi nodded and said, "Very good, brother Erpi, thank you."

Li Junge said with a smile: "Don't thank me, the high-intensity shooting will start next, you have to pay attention to your body, don't be overwhelmed by then. I heard that I will hang Wia on the Xuantian Cliff, it's scary to think about it. "

Xiaozhi smiled and said, "Now is the time when the flowers are blooming. The two-month shots are quite enjoyable, and the suffering will begin after May."

Li Junge said: "I don't know what you do, but I'm on call to help you with logistics. I will also often ask Uncle Yaoshi to come to the crew to watch over you to ensure that you don't get sick. For the rest, just follow the tricks." .”

At this time, Master Guoshan had already taken off his cassock and came to thank Li Junge.

Everyone at the table stood up.

Master Guoshan waved his hands to everyone with a smile, and said, "Sit down, you eat your food, I just came to thank Piwa, this activity is well organized."

Li Junge said with a smile: "This matter is in our village. It is a matter of benefit without cost. It is an effort to raise one's hand. It is not worthy of a thank you, master. It is our turn to thank you. Look at the villagers, how happy they are."

Master Guoshan looked around and said with a smile: "This activity is very effective. This is the life-releasing ceremony in my mind. From me, to believers, to fellow villagers, to living beings, everyone can enjoy it. It is Dzogchen. "

　The discussion of Leshui and Leshan comes from Mr. Qian Mu’s "A New Interpretation of the Analects". I am worried that everyone will mistakenly regard Lao Zhou as an expert if you don’t go to Baidu.
