Chapter 750
Chapter 750 Buried Wine

After a while, the first stone slab rose up, and then one after another, a total of seven or eight stone slabs rose up.

Four of them are very ordinary, but there are a few pieces that are probably from the first time the bridge was built.

After sending the bridge slab with written records to the shore first, Li Junge didn't care about the installation of the bridge slab, and squatted beside Liang Huili, Senior Brother Sun, to study it.

The stone inscriptions were buried under the mud and preserved well. According to the records, it was the government of Manzhou who allocated money and gentry donations, as well as the sponsorship of various guild halls in Pan'ao Township, especially the Qianzhou guild hall, to build this bridge. Panao Township Wharf is an important hub leading to the Qianzhou Salt Road.

There are also many poems and essays left by cultural people who passed by at that time, which can be regarded as relatively valuable things.

Sun Lao shook his head and shook his head at a poem: "'The dragon's head rests on the black boat, the donkey breaks through the purple jade. People follow the flowing water, and the poems enter the chaos. , keep talking about the past and the present.' Ha, this old man is fun, and he won't let go when he is addicted to alcohol!"

Li Junge pointed to a poem and read: "'Stay on the West Bridge and turn back to the south street. The north wind blows constantly, and the water flows eastward.' This is a frustrated person, with nowhere to go in the southeast, northwest..."

Then there was a slap on the head, but it was Ah Yin, holding a towel in his hand: "Hurry up and wipe your head and change your clothes! You will be fascinated when you see this!"

Elder Sun just chuckled: "It's good to have a daughter-in-law who hurts!"

Li Junge took the handkerchief with a smile, wiped it and said, "These pieces have to be put in the ancestral hall. In the future, if we collect more such things, we will hold an exhibition or something."

Ayin said: "I have to call Director Gu of the Bureau of Culture, and I can talk to him about whether he agrees or not."

Li Junge said: "You just say that our new square has been built, and we need to take advantage of several seminars to play the cultural card. From the ancient buildings in Pan'ao Township, the old road of Gantang, to the archway ancestral hall, this series of architectural facilities, What carries is actually culture.”

"Now Lijiagou's cultural industry, film and television bases are under construction, and films are already being filmed; villagers' activity centers, villagers' universities, and villagers' libraries have been established. Next, there will be folk customs experience halls, agricultural experience halls, and intangible cultural heritage museums. It’s outrageous to have a few things that you can sell!”

Elder Sun laughed again: "Piwa, oh Piwa, with a slap in the mouth, you will be worth ten thousand taels of gold. These bridge decks are safe and secure in Lijiagou!"

After commanding Old Brother Sha to re-pave the bridge deck, Li Junge settled the bill with him.

Brother Sha was overjoyed to see the amount transferred from WeChat: "Pi Wa, will this be a long-term business in the future? Guaranteed to be on call!"

Li Junge was annoyed: "Don't just think about good things! Even if this happens once in 60 years, you are rich, so you deserve us to suffer? You will be over 100 years old when you come next time!"

Brother Sha laughed loudly: "If you can really live to that age, I'll come and get you the bridge!"

After dealing with this matter, Li Junge asked everyone to lift the old bridge board to the raptor and drove back to the ancestral hall.

The fourth grandfather touched the stone slab very happily, and said: "Look, these poems are not bad. They were not made by people with a rough knowledge of characters, at least they must be at the level of a scholar, and they should be left by people who rushed to take the exam in the past." .”

Li Junge said with a smile: "Then expand it, these are the cultural essence of my Lijiagou, when the time comes to make a poetry forest or something, alas, it's a pity, so don't leave a name."

The fourth grandfather rubbed his ink and said, "You have dabbled extensively in Tang poetry. Next, you can start with Song poetry, Ming poetry, and Qing poetry. Although it is not as magnificent and majestic as Tang poetry, it is still quite impressive. This is to pay attention to detail, Piwa, you must always remember the words 'Learning is endless'. Look, those poems of yours, I am afraid that they cannot be compared with these country scholars in the past, right?"

This is an obedience, Li Junge hastened to learn.

After finishing the poems and essays with the fourth grandfather, and putting the bridge boards back together, Li Junge went to hand over the key to the Santai Temple to Wan Dali, and asked him to give it to Uncle Medicine Master, while he took Ayin home.

Grandma is wiping the sun-dried cowpea with a handkerchief, and then tying it into small handles, which is ready to make kimchi.

Li Junge dragged two small stools, sat down with A Yin, and worked with grandma.

Grandma said, "How is it on the mountain? It's been a long time since I've cultivated the temple, but I haven't gone to worship the gods."

Li Junge said: "There is no statue in the temple now, and you have no place to worship if you want to, but the surrounding environment is really good, and the house is also beautifully repaired. When I have time, I will take you to live there for two days."

Grandma laughed: "What's the matter with taking me, but you and A Yin, didn't you say that you are getting married now, what are you going to spend...'honeymoon'?"

Li Junge worried: "Wait a little longer, Ah Yin is going to shoot an advertisement soon, and the two professors from my Agricultural University, Ding and Li, said that the planned rapeseed field should be raised. Mr. Wu is focusing on big things now, so the seedlings must be raised." On me and Miao Wa Hou Wa."

Sure enough, before the cowpea was finished piercing, Uncle Yaoshi came to the door again. He asked grandma for pulse and said, "Wu Niang's body is the same as that of the fourth ancestor, and she is getting younger and younger!"

Li Junge asked: "Uncle Medicine Master, Dali didn't give you the key?"

Uncle Pharmacist said: "Yes! Didn't you make dozens of tanks of longan wine? The battery car doesn't have that much horsepower and can't be dragged up. You have to drive the Raptor down to pull it up."

Li Junge asked in surprise, "So many?"

Uncle Pharmacist said: "I really don't want to waste good things! Several thousand catties of longan, I made more than 1000 catties of wine, and the rest had to be made into dried fruit for slow use. You are really longan, I think it is much better than goose egg gold Why didn't you find a sale?"

Li Junge smiled shyly: "You see, you are in a hurry, can you come here? But in the winter moon, I have to pick up the musk. When the people from the pharmaceutical factory come, I will ask them if they will accept it."

Driving the bird of prey to the bottom of the mountain, Li Junge was taken aback. There were twenty large vats made of coarse porcelain with small openings, each as high as his ribs, and the size of a person's arms.

Uncle Pharmacist patted the jar: "The ones for you are all 67-degree sorghum white, which is two thousand catties."

Li Junge said, "How can I finish drinking this?"

Uncle Yaoshi said: "Who said it was for you to drink? Hurry up and pull up the slope, there is still work to do!"

First, I pulled a cart to the slope, and my father came over to continue: "Okay, okay, thank you, pharmacist! Erpi picks up from the back."

Li Junge was stupid again: "Am I alone?"

Dad said: "Aren't you famous for being a fool? Stop talking nonsense!"

Li Junge said: "Isn't it okay to put it in the garage? Isn't the family wine just stored in the Jinbao Cave and the Yinbao Cave?"

Uncle Medicine Master stroked his chin and said, "Well, it would be better to put it in the garage, but then we have to pick soil to seal the garage..."

Li Junge quickly picked up the pole: "Then I'll pick a bar!"

After tossing back and forth for two hours, Li Junge finally picked up twenty cylinders of wine to the foot of the back mountain.

Then a few men were digging the pit at the bottom of the slope, and Uncle Yaoshi boiled a pot of beeswax to seal the wine vat with a red label of the sun, moon and year.

Li Junge asked: "Is this to bury Zhuangyuanhong or daughterhong?"

Uncle Pharmacist smiled and said, "Understood? This wine is not for you, it's for us to drink twenty years later!"

Li Junge smiled at A Yin, who came to see him curiously: "Look, A Yin, Uncle Pharmacist has even made wine for our children. This is for our children to drink when they get married."

This time, A Yin was not embarrassed, she just smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Uncle Pharmacist!"

Uncle Yaoshi said: "Thank you, thank you. In the old days, there was a poor family. I have never used this skill seriously since I learned it from the old Jiutou in Pan'ao Township. I heard from him that every time the Li family sealed the wine in Xiahe , at least three thousand catties!"

Li Junge asked, "Which generation are you talking about?"

Uncle Yaoshi said with emotion: "I heard from Old Jiutou that after the Longshou Bridge is repaired, the Li family will no longer have such financial resources."

Also, the construction of Longshou Bridge was originally a big waste, and the salt road was diverted not long after it was completed. Therefore, it can be said that the completion of Longshou Bridge was the last glory of Panao Ancient Post Road, and then entered a period of decline.

Then Shangxiahe Li's family also began to decline.

Talking about this, Dad and Uncle Yaoshi couldn't help but sigh.

A Yin said: "Things have changed, haven't we got up again now? Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to bury these two thousand catties of good wine!"

Talking about this Uncle Pharmacist, he regained his energy: "Yes, A Yin is right! These two thousand catties of longan wine are the beginning of our Lijiagou's prosperity again!"

After the big pit was dug and the wine was buried, Uncle Yaoshi asked Li Junge to restore the shape of the hillside, and built a long earth arch above the buried wine site. finished.

Then he looked at the big shed in the woods on the slope and said: "Say hello to your pigs, they have very sharp noses, don't come here and cause trouble!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, they are the most obedient, and they can help watch the situation, do you believe it?"

To seal the wine, there must be a gift for the head of the wine, and it happened to be dinner time, so my father dragged Uncle Medicine Master to drink one.

Now there are a lot of beef and mutton at home. Li’s pickled pepper and spicy shredded beef is a must, so Shang Lijunge directly fried two large plates of shredded beef, one portion of beef back in the pot, one portion of cold beef, plus bacon sausage, and then made A few vegetarian dishes, that's all.

Ali Mu moved the bowl back and forth and set the chopsticks.

Li Junge couldn't help but boast: "Awesome! Alimu is getting better and better now!"

The dishes were all set on the table, and Ali Mu went to sit at a small square table by himself.

A Yin took a few small dishes, filled Alimu with good food, and then sat at the table with him to eat.

Uncle Yao Shi pouted to his father and said, "Over there, what's going on?"

Li Junge explained: "Alimu and the others are halal, so there are some taboos on food. We take turns eating with him for a day."

After finishing speaking, he told Uncle Pharmacist the story of Alimu in a low voice, but of course he concealed the fact that his father and grandfather were big bosses, and only said that he was from a rich family.

Uncle Yaoshi squeezed the cup and sighed, this child is pure filial piety, all these problems are attributed to heart disease in traditional Chinese medicine, so it's just right, you can also soak two real longan in the water he drinks every day, and you don't need to consult medicine.

After drinking, Li Junge drove Uncle Yaoshi home. It seemed that he would go up the mountain to visit Santai at night.
