Chapter 971 Yue Opera "The Nine Catty Girl"

"Grandma, here, this is my favorite ice cream. It's delicious. Daddy doesn't give it to him, so I give it to grandma, because grandma loves her the most." As soon as he came up, he used a snack offensive.

"Haha..., okay, okay, grandma's caring padded jacket, grandma really didn't dote on her in vain. Hmm..., delicious, my ice cream is really delicious!"

Grandma’s smiles are brightened by her darling. As a 73-year-old man, what he thinks about is the joy of his children, grandsons, and granddaughters under his knees. This kind of life is the most satisfying life for an old man.

"Grandma, it's busy today. How do you feel about the Yue opera on stage? If it doesn't look good, just tell me, grandma, I'll let the stage change to a Yue opera. During the three-day meeting, grandma can watch whatever she wants. According to your wishes, grandma."

"No, no, this is very good, this is very good, and now I am acting in "Nine Catty Girl". Grandma likes to watch this Shaoxing opera the most. Chao Gang, this time you spent a lot of money for my wife and I. It's a blessing." It's hard for my Chao Gang. With such a birthday, grandma is satisfied, and this life is worth it. Even if I go to see your grandpa now, I don't have any regrets. The old woman has such a day, I really never thought about it ah!"

Grandma sighed and said, to be honest, grandma never thought that Zhao Chaogang would celebrate her birthday with such a big fanfare, not to mention the dishes at home that are usually only seen in big hotels, only for three days All the church meetings made grandma feel like she was in a dream.

With such a birthday, grandma feels that this life is truly worthwhile.As for Zhao Chaogang spending a lot of money for his birthday this time, grandma didn't care much.Just relying on what Chao Gang gave her, the jade pendant she now wears around her neck, grandma knows.Her nephew Zhao Chaogang is definitely not an ordinary person, maybe he is the martial artist mentioned on TV now, so it is really not a problem for Chaogang to want to get money.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? You are still very young now, and you can definitely live another 50 or [-] years. If you love Nannan so much, you have to see her get married and have children. Grandma, you will live a long life." ,I promise!"

Just kidding, grandma is my close relative, so.Zhao Chaogang will never let anything happen to grandma, there is a small world.Grandma lives a long life.Thousands of lives, long lives are not a problem, even eternal life is not a problem.

"Longevity? Where did grandma get this blessing? Grandma is 73 years old now, and she has reached the age of her destiny. How can she expect to live a long life! Now Chaozuna and you are so promising. I finally let go A big stone in my heart, as long as I can see my daughter get married before she dies, grandma will be satisfied."

Grandma's heart is very open-minded, and she is very indifferent to death.

"Don't worry. Grandma, you can definitely see your daughter getting married!"

Zhao Chaogang said with certainty that the reason why grandma didn't believe that he could live to be a hundred years old was because grandma didn't know his current situation. Zhao Chaogang was not in a hurry to explain to grandma, because the best explanation was in front of grandma. fact.

As time goes by, grandma's health will get better and better in the future. At that time, there is no need for Zhao Chaogang to explain anything, grandma herself will believe that she can live a long life.

"Chao Gang, sit down and watch "Nine Catty Girl" with grandma. Those people on the stage are really good at acting. Grandma has watched Shaoxing opera for so many years, and today's one is the best, whether it's singing or singing. The movements are all in place, so...!"

Before grandma finished speaking, she shouted loudly. Like grandma, other people below the stage also shouted loudly. Even the girls on one side clapped their hands happily. Apparently, Nannan also likes to watch such Shaoxing operas, which makes Zhao Chaogang on the side very depressed, because Zhao Chaogang didn't like watching Yueju operas since she was a child.

"Chao Gang, grandma forgot that you don't like watching Yue opera since you were a child. If you don't want to watch it, then go home and entertain guests. You don't have to stay here with the old lady. With my daughter by my side, grandma won't be lonely. You go back .”

Grandma was still so caring. After remembering that Zhao Chaogang didn't like watching Yue opera, she asked Zhao Chaogang to go back first, not caring whether there was anyone around her.

"No need, grandma, I'll also watch this "Nine Catty Girl". Grandma said it was good, so it must be very good. Besides, Shaoxing opera is also a major feature of our Kuaiji County. As a native of Kuaiji County, I have to get to know us. This feature of Kuaiji County is not, otherwise I would be ashamed to say that I am from Kuaiji County when I go out in the future, today Chao Gang will accompany my grandmother to watch the "Nine Catty Girl"."

Grandma thinks about herself so much, Zhao Chaogang should think about grandma even more, so although Zhao Chaogang doesn't like watching Yue opera, he still stays to watch Yue opera with grandma.

Watching Shaoxing opera with my family by my side is completely different from watching Shaoxing opera alone. You can know this by looking at the satisfied smile on grandma’s face now.

"Okay, that's a good point. People in Kuaiji County should watch Yue Opera. Yue Opera is a special type of opera in Kuaiji County. As people in Kuaiji County, we shouldn't forget about Yue Opera. You can stay and watch Yue Opera with grandma. Grandma is very happy." I am happy. Come on, come on, grandma will tell Chao Gang the previous content of the Yue opera "Jiujin Girl", which Chao Gang doesn't know yet..."

After Zhao Chaogang sat down, grandma began to whisper to Zhao Chaogang the previous content of "The Nine Catty Girl", and Zhao Chaogang also began to listen attentively...

To be honest, after watching "Nine Catty Girl" carefully for a while, Zhao Chaogang found that Yue opera is actually pretty good, at least the "Nine Catty Girl" that is being performed in front of him is really good.

"Nine Jin Girl" tells about a girl named Jiu Jin. She is the daughter of the cooper Zhang Tianbao. She has been very smart since she was a child. She is quite famous in the town where she lives.

Shi Er, a local rich man in the town, heard about Miss Jiujin's cleverness, and wanted to let his third son marry Miss Jiujin, but he was afraid that Miss Jiujin's intelligence would be exaggerated, so he came to Miss Jiujin's house for an interview. A nine-pound girl.

Shi Er came up with a lot of problems, but they were all easily solved by Jiujin girl (Xingzhe likes to watch this play the most, it is quite beautiful), seeing that the problems he thought of were all solved by Jiu Jin. Miss Jin solved it very easily, and Shi Er was very satisfied with Miss Jiujin, so he asked his third son to marry Miss Jiujin.

After Miss Jiujin came over, one day her father Zhang Tianbao accidentally injured a yellow cat belonging to the third uncle who was also a big landlord in the town, so the third uncle wanted to use the yellow cat to blackmail her Shi Er has a large sum of money, which triggers a battle of wits and courage between the nine-pound girl and the third uncle, and finally the nine-pound girl wins the third uncle. This is a folklore story.

To be honest, this story sounds very common, but once it was performed in Shaoxing opera, it looked really good, especially the part where Shi Er and Miss Jiujin were fighting wits and courage, even Zhao Chaogang was fascinated by it Zhao Chaogang has never been so fascinated when watching a movie. It can be seen that the charm of "Nine Catty Girl" is indeed full.

A Yue opera usually lasts about two hours, but at eleven o'clock in the noon, grandma's birthday party will start, so although Zhao Chaogang is a bit addicted to the Yue opera "Nine Pound Girl", But at 09:30, Zhao Chaogang still left. He had to make longevity noodles for his grandmother's 73rd birthday.

In the city, whether it is an old man or a child, they always eat cakes on their birthdays, but in Zhao Chaogang’s hometown, they never eat cakes, especially for the old people’s birthdays. The emphasis here is on eating longevity noodles. Longevity noodles made by hand.

This time Zhao Chaogang is also planning to make longevity noodles for grandma, and since this year is grandma's 73rd birthday, Zhao Chaogang plans to make the noodles in this bowl of longevity noodles 73 meters long.

Of course, the noodles will not be very thick, otherwise, after grandma eats the noodles, she won't have to eat other things.

The folks of the Han nationality have always had the custom of eating birthday noodles on birthdays. This custom has a long history. According to legend, it is related to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The main ingredient of longevity noodles is high-gluten flour, which is eaten with various seasonings.It represents people's good wishes for the future.

There is actually such a story about longevity noodles.

According to legend, in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han believed in ghosts and gods and believed in physiognomy. One day he chatted with his ministers. Just grow, if a person is 1 inch long, he can live to be 100 years old. "

As soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finished speaking, the minister Dongfang Shuo, who was sitting next to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, laughed out loud. The other ministers were puzzled and blamed him for being rude to the emperor.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also very curious and asked him what he was laughing at. Dongfang Shuo explained: "I am not laughing at Your Majesty, but at Peng Zu. When a person lives to be 100 years old, the length of a human is 1 inch. 800 inches, how long is his face?"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard it. It seems that it is impossible to live longer by relying on a longer face, but you can think of a workaround to express your wish for a long life, so longevity noodles appeared like this.

The face is the face, and "the length of the face is the length of the face", so people use long noodles to wish longevity.

Gradually, this practice evolved into the habit of eating noodles on birthdays (holidays), which is called "longevity noodles".

Generally speaking, there is only one noodle in the whole bowl of Changshou noodles, and it is best not to break it when eating. As long as the bowl of Changshou noodles is eaten without breaking it, it means that the elderly will surely live a long life.

This is actually a good expectation of relatives for the elderly, and this custom has been followed to this day. . )
