80s Taoism

Zhang Dechun didn't dare to make a decision on his own, so the crew of "The Tomb" found Luo Changjun, the county magistrate.

Wang Yiwei called Luo Changjun on the spot, "At that time our crew said that your county would come to make a film, and you promised to give us the greatest support. But now the filming has not started yet, and you have been blocked by the villagers in your county. If you don't deal with this problem immediately, we have to temporarily change the shooting location, and your Xintian County has to compensate our crew for the loss. It is not only your Xintian County that is suitable for shooting this movie."

Luo Changjun said on the phone, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang. I will definitely discuss this matter with you. I will come right away. I haven't figured out the specific situation yet. After I figure out the situation, I will do the ideological work of the villagers."

Luo Changjun hurriedly called Zhang Youping again, "Youping, come back to Meiziao with me, there are some things I want to ask you first."

Luo Changjun still had a very clear memory of Zhang Jiaohua's previous warnings, and he was a little worried that this crew was really just like what Zhang Jiaohua worried about, that the ulterior motives were not about drinking.

After getting together, Zhang Youping sat in Luo Changjun's car.

"Youping, did the caller tell you what happened to Luo'aling?" Luo Changjun asked.

"Luo'a Ling is a bit weird. Back then, Jiaohua and five children from the village were grazing cattle in Luo'a Ling. Jiaohua fell asleep in the mountain, and the other five children went to Luo'a Tang to take a bath, but they all drowned. This matter was kept secret in our Meizitang. Later, the caller said that something wrong happened in Luo'a Tang, which was very dangerous. So when Meizi'ao tourism was developed, we deliberately surrounded Luo'a Ling. We were worried that tourists would enter this place and have accidents." Zhang Youping explained the cause and effect. said.

"I've heard of this situation, but I didn't expect it to be directly related to beggars." Luo Changjun was the director of the Gezhuping Town Police Station back then, so he naturally knew about this situation.

"Since then, Jiaohua has been having a weird dream. All the strange things he knows are learned from that weird dream. Otherwise, where did Jiaohua learn the Meishan spell?" Zhang Youping said.

"What does his dream have to do with Luo'atang?" Luo Changjun continued to ask.

"In that dream, Jiaohua saw a place called Dafubao. There was a mine behind Dafurnace and a large tomb. In the dream, Jiaohua went to that tomb with his master. Then the tomb was blown up, and no one came out except him and his master." Zhang Youping told Luo Changjun exactly what Zhang Jiaohua had told him.

"The beggar suspects that the big tomb in Great Furnace Fort is in Luo'a Ridge?" Luo Changjun asked?

Zhang Youping nodded, "Yes. But the strange thing is that other things don't match up at all. If Luo'aling is really the big tomb, our place should be the former Great Furnace Fort. No matter how many years have passed, the mines near Great Furnace Fort cannot disappear, right?"

"It's also possible that the distance was not very clear in the dream. You know, there is a Wuxi Iron Mine in our Lingxian County. It is only a few tens of kilometers away from your place. It is said that the Wuxi Iron Mine has been mined since the Ming Dynasty." Luo Changjun said.

"In that case, are these people really coming for the tomb as the beggar said?" Zhang Youping said in surprise.

"In recent years, serious tomb robbery crimes have occurred in many parts of the country. Many famous tombs have been destroyed by tomb robbers, and a large number of unearthed cultural relics have been distributed to the international collection market. I am worried that this will happen under our noses!" Luo Changjun said worriedly.

"Then do we want to prevent the crew from continuing to shoot?" Zhang Youping asked.

"No matter what their purpose is, the crew of "The Tomb" is real. The movie "The Tomb" is a very important opportunity for our county. If we lose this opportunity, we will have to take a lot of detours in our development. Therefore, I don't want to miss this opportunity. They have a good plan, and we have a wall ladder. I think there should be nothing wrong with the crew of "The Tomb".

"Yes, Jiaohua once said that He Shouye and Long Wuyi have a dead and earthy smell on their bodies, and they should be people who have been in and out of the tomb for a long time. That Taoist priest may have helped them solve difficult problems in the tomb." Zhang Youping said.

"The beggars should be right. Let's go and find out their reality first. It's best to catch the tomb robbers, and then the filming will continue. Youping, if these film investors have problems, can you Biyu Xianyin replace them?" Luo Changjun said.

"Of course, the domestic market has also formed a very important part of Jasper Immortal Drink. We are no longer just exporting. We are focusing on both foreign and domestic development." Zhang Youping nodded.

When Luo Changjun and Zhang Youping rushed to the meeting room of Meizi'ao Village, Wang Yiwei was very excited.

"At the beginning, you Xintian County invited us to come here. Now that we have made all the preparations, your villagers don't let us set up the scene. We have so many actors, props, and equipment parked here. How much is the loss in one day? Do you know? Who do we ask for this loss?" Wang Yiwei asked.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. The villagers didn't say they won't allow you to shoot? It's just that there are still some differences between the two sides. I believe that the two sides can definitely find common ground. Can you explain the matter clearly. When I came, I talked to Mr. Zhang Youping, the chairman of Biyu Xianyin, about the situation in his hometown. Luo'aling is indeed a bit special. But we all think that the problem is not impossible to solve. My rush here shows that our Xintian County Party Committee and County Government attaches great importance to the shooting of "The Great Tomb". Luo Changjun comforted him." I looked at the somewhat excited crew members.

*****

Because the scene was not set up well, the filming of the play could not be done for the time being, and Chen Haibo's main actors happily played in the village.

"Meizi'ao is developing really well. Every family lives in small western-style buildings, which are more comfortable than villas in the city. The city doesn't have such a beautiful scenery as Meizi'ao." Chen Haibo said.

"Of course, you don't look at how expensive their tea is. I heard that their top-notch Red Jade Immortal Drink is only auctioned at high-end international auctions, and every auction can fetch astonishingly high prices. Even the high-end model of Jasper Immortal Drink, which is slightly inferior to Red Jade Immortal Drink, is priced at gold. It is a tribute tea from the British Imperial Palace. I heard that the Queen likes it very much." Zou Heming said.

"It would be great if any of us got the endorsement of Jasper Immortal Drink, even if I don't give money, I will accept it, as long as I can use their Red Jade Immortal Drink for free." Tang Yan licked his mouth.

"Who doesn't want to?" Chen Cheng smiled.

Handsome men and beautiful women, no matter where they go, they can always attract the attention of the villagers.

When Chen Haibo and others came to Meizitang, the people in Meizitang also surrounded Chen Haibo like monkeys.

"Oh, these celebrities are really beautiful. Look at that Tang Yan, she looks like a fairy. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has beautiful clothes, and she can dress up. Those whose fingers don't touch the spring water, their skin is white and tender."

"That Chencheng is just as beautiful. That hairstyle is so beautiful. Only celebrities like them can make such a hairstyle. If we rural women get such a hairstyle, we don't have to work every day, and we can just tinker with the hairstyle."

"Isn't it?"

...

Chen Haibo and the others didn't mind being watched by the villagers at all, and greeted the villagers from time to time.

"Master, can I make this stone mill?" Chen Haibo found it very interesting to see Zhang Enzhong grinding tofu with the stone mill.

Your uncle! Can I be your uncle at such a young age? Zhang Enzhong is so angry, but his skin is dark, standing with Chen Haibo, he can really be his uncle.

"It's what you want. Be careful, don't push the stone mill down and hit your leg." Zhang Enzhong taught Chen Haibo how to operate the stone mill.

"Master, are you grinding beans to make tofu?" Tang Yan asked curiously.

"Of course it is used to make tofu. In Meizitang, my family makes tofu. Our family has been making tofu since my grandfather's grandfather. The tofu we make is definitely the best tofu in Meiziao." Zhang Enzhong said proudly.

"Zhang Enzhong, who in the countryside can't make tofu? It sounds like your family can make tofu." Someone in the Meizi'ao onlookers shouted.

"Qigao, who made five bundles of tofu during Chinese New Year last year, and four were broken? You know how to make tofu?" Zhang Enzhong said contemptuously.

The Meizitang onlookers burst out laughing

"Master, the people in your village are really interesting." Tang Yan said with a smile.

"Now that life is better, I don't have to worry about food or clothing, and I'm always happy." Zhang Enzhong said with a smile.

"Later, can we watch you make tofu?" Chen Cheng asked.

"Of course." Zhang Enzhong agreed with a smile, "Hey, I need to add some water to this one. If it is too dry, it will take a lot of work to grind. The tofu is also too coarsely ground, so the amount of tofu you make will be much less."

The technical content of making tofu is not high, but when adding gypsum tofu, the amount of gypsum must be added very accurately. Zhang Enzhong uses an equal scale to weigh it accurately every time. Mix it with water and pour it into a yellow bucket (big wooden bucket), then pour the hot, filtered and boiled soybean milk into the yellow bucket, just use the vortex formed when the soybean milk is poured in rapidly to mix the gypsum water at the bottom of the bucket evenly in the soybean milk, then find a wooden lid to cover it, wait a few minutes, and then vertically drop it from the top of the wooden bucket with chopsticks.

Zhang Enzhong used a ladle to break off the foam on the surface, revealing the white and tender tofu inside.

"Good tofu! Madam, hurry up and bring some bowls, and serve a bowl of soft tofu to some guests!" Zhang Enzhong was so generous this time.

Wang Fang also walked into the house briskly, took some of the most beautiful printed enamel bowls in the house, and brought out a jar of white sugar. Give Zhang Haibo and others a bowl each.

"Uncle Enzhong, how can you two favor one another? Everyone is watching here, but you just make four bowls of tender tofu. How can you eat enough?" the mute shouted loudly.

"Mute, why didn't you go play with Jiaohua today?" Zhang Enzhong glanced at the crowd, looked left and right but saw no sign of Zhang Jiaohua.

"The beggar has been very busy these days, and has no time to talk to me." The mute was a little frustrated. As soon as he had business to do, Beggar threw him aside.

"Master, no matter where we go these days, we seem to hear you mention the name beggar. Who is beggar?" Chen Cheng asked.

"Can you understand us?" Zhang Enzhong asked.

"That's not true. I just understood the name. I seem to hear it from you often." Chen Cheng said.

"That's for sure, everyone in Meizi'ao should be grateful to him. Even our entire Xintian County should be grateful to him." Zhang Enzhong is also grateful to Zhang Jiaohua now.

"He seems to be the child of the chairman of your Biyu Xianyin, right? Shouldn't you be grateful to the chairman of Biyu Xianyin?" Chen Haibo asked strangely.

"Yes, he is indeed Youping's child, but everyone should thank him, not his father Zhang Youping." Zhang Enzhong said.

"Why is that?" Chen Haibo was a little puzzled, and Chen Cheng and the others also showed puzzled expressions.

"Because there is only one person who can make this Biyu Immortal Drink. It is all thanks to him that Meizi'ao is today!" Zhang Enzhong said.

"Ah!" Chen Haibo and the others were shocked.
