Chapter 278: New Year fireworks warm the world, Taoyuan has a strong New Year atmosphere
There was an easter egg at the end of the evening party. The drones changed their formation and formed a "big screen" - a talent map for rural revitalization, marking the inheritors of characteristic skills in villages in the surrounding areas.
There are blacksmiths, carpenters, bamboo stripping masters, drum makers, musical instrument masters, Peking opera, Sichuan opera, bricklayers and so on.
Many of these people are masters who will be participating in the performance tonight. Their families have also come to the scene. When they saw this scene, they were all very moved, and some couldn’t help but wipe their moist eyes.
At the end of the party, Li Xiang, Jiang Caier, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui and other organizers saw everyone off together and said goodbye to everyone one by one.
A leader from the Culture and Tourism Bureau held Li Xiang's hand tightly, his palm burning with astonishment: "Major Li, how can this be a village evening party? This is an audio-visual nuclear bomb that turns National Treasure into a science fiction film!"
He was quite excited, pointing to the drone map that had not yet disappeared in the sky and said: "Next year, the funding given to us by the Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage Center will definitely double, just for your talent pool!"
These people have existed for a long time, but have always been buried in the countryside. It is Li Xiang's platform that has allowed them to come to the fore. Starting tonight, many of them will become famous.
Li Xiang’s village evening party made everyone famous instead of inviting celebrities to perform.
Li Xiang said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment. I feel honored to be able to contribute a little to the county."
The leader said: "We should be honored and proud that our county has produced a talent like Major Li who is both civil and military."
Other leaders also came over to shake hands with Li Xiang and say goodbye.
Li Xiang was busy bidding farewell to relatives and friends until after eleven o'clock in the evening, when the party finally ended and everyone left.
The next day, many programs topped the trending searches.
It was just a small village evening show with only thirty-something programs, but eighteen of them became famous, became a rage all over the Internet, and attracted countless traffic.
It is said that the peak number of online users in Li Xiang's live broadcast room last night exceeded 2 million, surpassing CCTV's online Spring Festival Gala. I don't know how many bloggers envy and hate him. But, it really can't be compared.
As there are many intangible cultural heritage elements in it, the county leaders decided after a meeting to designate Lijia Village’s “Apocalyptic Theme Village Evening” as an intangible cultural heritage innovation demonstration project.
The people of Lijia Village were proud and excited, and their good reputation spread throughout the surrounding area. No, it spread throughout the entire country.
"Xiang has really brought honor to our Lijia Village." Many villagers praised him, especially when they came to chat with Grandma Li Xiang, they would definitely say something about him.
Grandma Li Xiang was naturally cheerful all day long, feeling very relieved. Since her grandson came back, her life had changed dramatically, and she was almost never unhappy.
Then, many of Chen Huanhuan and Li Xiang’s classmates and former colleagues watched the Lijia Village Gala. Even those who didn’t watch it were flooded with it. When watching short videos, it would pop up accidentally.
After all, it is the king of traffic, and every platform is pushing it vigorously. You can't help but watch it.
Chen Huanhuan was extremely happy, and forwarded the video of Lijia Village Evening Party, liked it, and wrote: "Xiang'er's extreme operation, absolutely amazing!"
Luo Feifei also forwarded the message and interacted with Li Xiang online, which made Jiang Caier jealous.
Japan, Mount Fuji, hot spring resort, Chiba Xuexi has also been paying attention to Li Xiang. Last night, she watched the entire village evening party while holding her two cute daughters, and was deeply moved.
"Godfather is really amazing." Chaolu and Xiwu said in unison with bright eyes. However, their poor Chinese did not prevent them from watching the show, especially when the cute pets were performing, the two little girls stared at them with their eyes wide open.
"Yes, your godfather is such an excellent man." Chiba Xuexu looked worried, thinking that it was no wonder that the master didn't eat me, it turned out that there were so many beautiful women around him.
But she was not a virgin and had given birth to a child, so she couldn't help feeling inferior.
Chiba Xuexu thought to herself that she could only gain an advantage by being gentle. In addition, as a young woman and a Japanese woman, she had more experience in this area, knew all kinds of tricks, was more relaxed, and could do many things that Chinese girls were unwilling to do, so she should have some competitiveness.
"Your adoptive father is from Sichuan Province. Come, let me teach you how to speak Sichuan dialect, 'ba shi'."
"What does bashi mean?" asked Chiba Chaolu and Yugiri.
Chiba Yukio smiled and explained, "It's equivalent to '最高の幸せ' (ultimate happiness) in Japanese."
Chiba Xuexiong felt that learning some Chinese, especially the Sichuan dialect, would be beneficial for his future.
…
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was sunny and windy, and Li Xiang and Jiang Caier were making candied fruits in the backyard.
It is not an ordinary candied fruit, but a "Yangyuan candied fruit" made with mild magical herbs.
He and Jiang Caier naturally didn't need them, but his grandmother, grandparents, and Jiang Caier's parents were all too old to enter the realm of transcendence. They also "couldn't digest" high-level elixirs, and taking too much would be harmful.
So Li Xiang thought about making a "health food" that is milder and tastes better, which is this "Yangyuan Preserved Fruit". It can be eaten as a snack regularly to prolong life and keep the body healthy.
He selected some mild medicinal herbs and fruits from the system warehouse, and did not take any bitter or irritating ones. He then paired them with common nourishing ingredients (such as red dates, wolfberries, honey, etc.) to balance the medicinal properties of the herbs and improve the taste.
The spiritual herbs were first soaked in warm salt water to remove impurities and soften the fibers. Then Li Xiang used his own spiritual power to gently refine the spiritual herbs to reduce the potency of the medicinal properties and make them suitable for absorption by ordinary people.
Slowly boil the processed herb with honey, rock sugar, etc. to neutralize the aftertaste of the herb with the sugar.
The most critical step is the penetration of spiritual power. By injecting an appropriate amount of spiritual power, the medicinal properties of the spiritual herbs can be evenly integrated into the candied fruit.
After the candied fruit cools down, it is cut into pieces and wrapped in traditional rice paper.
After the "Yangyuan Preserved Fruit" was successfully made, Li Xiang and Jiang Caier tried it. They had to say that after being tempered with spiritual power and pickled with honey, it became more palatable and delicious. The nourishing effect was naturally great, and it could not be bought on the market no matter how much money was spent.
Li Xiang and Jiang Caier made eight large boxes and gave them away as gifts before the Chinese New Year: to Jiang Caier's family, grandparents' family, and my aunt's family.
My aunt and her family used to live in Li Xiang’s house, but they returned to the county town after the village evening party.
After all, my aunt is a local, so after Li Xiang became rich, she bought a second-hand house in the county town. Now she is busy moving. As for Ruili, she also has a house, but she can live in both places in the future. It has always been her wish to have a house in her hometown. When she retires in the future, she will come back to live in her old age.
Before they left, Li Xiang gave 2,000 yuan red envelopes to his cousin's girlfriend and his sister-in-law's stepdaughter. After all, it was the first time for these two girls to come to his home, so how could Li Xiang not express his gratitude? The two girls were so happy to receive the thick red envelopes that they kept saying, "Thank you, cousin, thank you, cousin."
Because the New Year was coming, Shen Wenqian and Shen Zimo also went home. During these days at Li Xiang's house, Li Xiang also gave them elixirs and taught them breathing techniques. How well they could practice was up to them. After all, the master led the way, but the practice depended on the individual. This kind of thing still depends on talent.
Of course, when Li Xiang is free, he will also give them careful guidance, after all, they are his cousins.
In addition to Yangyuan Preserved Fruit, Li Xiang also gave some other gifts, such as Australian lobster and tuna sashimi in gift boxes. The ingredients were naturally from his warehouse collection, and the gift boxes were bought by himself. They looked better in gift boxes. And there were also ice packs.
An extra gift of "Lingcao Eight Treasures Cake" was given to Jiang Caier's family, and the bamboo food box was tied with a ginger-colored tassel; the gift box for her grandparents contained a special gift of "Ginseng and Honey Wine", and the white porcelain jar was painted with a picture of pine and crane for longevity.
My sister-in-law's family had never sent venison before, but this time they sent an extra 60 kilograms of venison and 80 kilograms of Wagyu beef, so they don't have to buy meat during the New Year.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, go get some wine.
Li Xiang did not go to the town to get wine, but went to the Guofeng Tavern, where the cellar was storing the persimmon wine and spirit wine that had been brewed previously.
