Cross Country Little Master

The best restaurant in Baishui County is naturally Shenji Restaurant. It is said that the head chef was invited from the capital. Shen Dahai promised to provide for him in the old age, so he reluctantly took over the spoon again and took in a few apprentices.

Fang Ruixuan didn't intend to go to the apprentice's restaurant to eat and drink for free, after saying goodbye to Master Tian, ​​he brought Liu Sheng to this is said to be the second best Xiankeju.

Fang Ruixuan and Liu Sheng shared a private room, and set up another table in the lobby for the three of Kong Butler, Gu Sui and Gu Li.

"It tastes good, eat more." Fang Ruixuan picked up a piece of duck meat for Liu Sheng.

Under the influence of Fang Ruixuan and a few apprentices, Liu Sheng ate very politely, methodically, and unhurriedly. One could tell at a glance that he enjoyed the meal very much.

After spending more time with the children, Liu Sheng became softer and more cheerful. "I saw a grocery store selling kumquats just now, let's go buy some and try something new." Liu Sheng asked Fang Ruixuan.

"Alright, let's go and have a look after we have dinner. If the kumquats are of good quality, we can buy a few kilos and share a few kilos with Aunt Gu and the others." Fang Ruixuan, who was still in a shopping frenzy, said.

"Well, I'm also worried about what New Year's gifts I will give them." Liu Sheng said.

The big family would give some rewards to the servants at the end of the year. Fang Ruixuan handed over the money to Liu Sheng, which meant Liu Sheng's status as the head of the house.And Liu Sheng, a country boy, has never been exposed to these things, and he was living in poverty before. He didn't even dare to buy more meat, so he didn't realize it at all.

In the end, Butler Kong couldn't see it anymore, and made a few tactful remarks.

After lunch, the couple drank the free chrysanthemum tea from Xiankeju and took a rest.

"Why don't we go to see Huiming and Huiqing?" Liu Sheng asked.

Fang Ruixuan didn't take it seriously, "Didn't I see you two days ago, it doesn't matter if you go today or not." Besides, he is a master, so how can a master go to see a student.

"Well, they will come to pay New Year's greetings in a few days."

Fang Ruixuan thought of sending red envelopes to his nephews every Chinese New Year and said, "You will give them a red envelope of ten taels each." The minimum face value of a silver ticket is ten taels.

The Fang family has no preparations for this year. Some wealthy families will give their children a few golden snails, silver melon seeds, and silver peanuts during the New Year, but the Fang family does not have any of them.The shopkeeper of the silver building closed the shop early again, and he could only send money when he went home for the New Year.

Although Steward Kong presumptuously instructed Liu Sheng, it was impossible for him to cover everything.

In the afternoon, Fang Ruixuan continued to play with Liu Sheng. After buying some food and play, he planned to go home and go to the place agreed with Butler Kong.

He was relieved, the little daughter-in-law had grown up in the world, and it was the best of both worlds.

Please ignore the ears of grain that keep their hands restless.

"Husband, is the person who is playing Chui Da Da in front of you singing an opera?" Fang Ruixuan glanced at a small venue surrounded by a group of people, and the singing that Liu Sheng heard came from it.

Every year during Chinese New Year in Baishui County, several opera troupes would come. Liu Sheng had never heard of opera before, so he was a little curious.

"I guess so." Fang Ruixuan said uncertainly.

The tall and burly Gusui squeezed in from the crowd, and squeezed out again after a while, "Master Fulang, it's a shadow play. An old man performing arts is manipulating those shadow puppets and singing about the Three Kingdoms."

When Fang Ruixuan heard that it was a shadow puppet show, he also became interested, and pulled Liu Sheng to squeeze into the crowd.Gu Sui, on the other hand, went to deliver the things to the bullock cart first, and then came to pick up Fang Ruixuan and the two later.

Fang Ruixuan and Liu Sheng squeezed to the back of the front row, protecting Liu Sheng in front of them, and gently wrapped their hands around his waist.

In this place with many people and mixed hands, the daughter-in-law cannot be taken advantage of by some salty pig hands.I didn't feel at all that I was the biggest hooligan.

There were many people around, Liu Sheng was very uncomfortable being hugged by Fang Ruixuan in front of so many people, he quietly twisted his body away, and then Fang Ruixuan pinched his waist hard.

"Be honest and concentrate on watching the show!" Fang Ruixuan taught Liu Sheng a lesson.

I saw the old man in a linen padded jacket with patches on his body, next to the curtain whose primary color could still be seen to be white, operating the shadow man with both hands, and rapping about the development of the whole plot.

Another skinny teenage boy dressed almost the same way, probably the old man's apprentice, played the snare drum meticulously, and occasionally slapped the bamboo board twice. During the time when Zhou Yu died of illness, he took out a wooden flute and played a mournful song. .

Folk artists like this generally have no fixed place to live, and they are home wherever they go.Most of them are abandoned babies abandoned by their parents. After being picked up by the master, they teach skills and make a living as a performer.

Modern young literary and artistic youth always want to take a trip as soon as they say it, and they are very envious of those homeless people. In fact, they don't know the suffering of homelessness.

With Zhou Yu's exclamation of Ji Shengyu and He Shengliang, the shadow puppet came to an end.When the skinny male god held a tray and begged for money from the audience, the originally gathered crowd dispersed after a while, and a very small number of people gave three taels of cash and a copper coin, but the boy’s face was very happy .

Fang Ruixuan sighed, it turned out that Governor Zhou had been hacked so early.

Liu Sheng took out ten Wen coins and put them on the tray, and the little disciple gave him a bright smile.

When the crowd had almost left, Fang Ruixuan led Liu Sheng forward.

"Old man, did you make this shadow puppet?" Fang Ruixuan asked, the workmanship of this shadow puppet is exquisite and lifelike, but the color is a little dull, which should be due to long-term use.

"This is passed down from the old master. The young master should be a scholar, and he is also interested in shadow puppetry?" The old man looked at the gentle people in front of him, who didn't look like those dudes, and felt a little surprised.Those scholars are all rich and precious, so how can they value their three teachings and nine streams.

"This shadow puppet is so vivid, I like it very much." The country's intangible cultural heritage, it's okay if you don't encounter it, and you always have to see it when you encounter it.

"If you like it, my lord, this old man will sing for you again." As the old man said, he planned to spread out the unpacked tools.

Seeing this, Fang Ruixuan quickly stopped him, "The old man is not busy, it's getting late and you haven't had lunch yet, I'll invite you to the small restaurant on the sidelines to have some food."

When the young man heard that Fang Ruixuan was going to invite them to dinner, he was a little moved and speeded up to help his master clean up.

"How can this cost you money." The old man declined, resolutely refusing.

"Don't be too polite, old man. My husband wants to ask you for advice on shadow puppetry. The old man agrees. If you don't go here, how can my husband have the audacity to ask you for advice?" Liu Sheng persuaded.

The old man hesitated and said, "Alright, thank you two young masters."

Fang Ruixuan glanced at Liu Sheng, his daughter-in-law was becoming more and more generous, she was really well trained.

The four occupied a table at the wonton stand, and Fang Ruixuan ordered a big bowl of pork wontons, two dishes of side dishes, and a few meat buns for the old man and the boy.

The boy named Thirteen hadn't eaten such a sumptuous meal for a long time. He scooped up a wonton and put it in his mouth, screaming from the heat.

The old man looked at him lovingly: "Thirteen is not in a hurry, eat slowly, eat slowly, there is more."

None of the women in the Fang family can make wontons.Liu Sheng only shared a bowl with his father when he was a child when he took him to the county seat, and he thought it was the most delicious food in the world.Smelling the fragrance in the air, Liu Sheng also felt a little greedy, and swallowed secretly.Fang Ruixuan was careful and ordered a small bowl for him.

"Husband, I can't finish eating." Liu Sheng was full when he was in Xiankeju, and Fang Ruixuan kept bringing him food, which made him reluctant to eat.It has not been an hour since I finished my meal, and I can't eat anymore after three or four mouthfuls of soup.So Liu Sheng pulled Fang Ruixuan's sleeve with some regret and said in a low voice.

Fang Ruixuan looked at him helplessly, as if to say, why do you love to act like a baby so much.Afterwards, he brought over the half bowl of wontons in front of Liu Sheng, and began to eat with the spoon that Liu Sheng had just used.

The movements of the two had long attracted the attention of the master and apprentice.Liu Sheng always felt that their eyes were mocking him, his cheeks were flushed with shame, his face was burning hot, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

When Gu Sui came back, what he saw was this kind of scene.

His master is always so out of tune.

"Has the old man found a place to live?" Fang Ruixuan asked after the master and apprentice had finished their meal.

"Not yet, I just arrived in Baishui County today, and I haven't had time to look for it in the future."

"There are still a few vacant houses in the next house, the elderly can come to my house to rest." Fang Ruixuan invited.

"This is too much trouble, young master." The old man was a little at a loss, completely ignoring the winks that Thirteen gave him.They have been to many places and seen many warm and cold people, but they have never been treated so politely before.

"No trouble, I still want to ask the old man about the art of making shadow puppetry. It is a great kindness that the old man is willing to teach me. Besides, it is almost Chinese New Year, the hotel has already closed, most of the villagers do not want to stay in the house, so there is no need for the old man to refuse. "

"Then I would like to thank you, Young Master." Thirteenth replied on behalf of the master.They wandered around and had nothing to live in. Apart from their skills, they had nothing to pursue. Moreover, their grandfather had promised to teach this young man, so it would be no problem.This young man was kind, and he wanted to help them, so why didn't he accept it.

Seeing Shisan like this, the old man had no choice but to agree.

The playful Fang Juren plans to learn how to make shadow puppets, and vigorously develop hobbies other than teaching and educating people.Music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all about cultivating one's temperament, Fang Ruixuan doesn't intend to indulge in it.

He is a relatively rational person, and he knows how to learn those perceptual things. It is enough to make comments. He himself prefers to make things by himself.

The reason why he studied computer at the beginning was to allow him to do it while satisfying his desire to stay at home.
