portable space

The Taoist priest left, and everyone around him dispersed. Zhang Taiping continued to take a look around.

Unexpectedly, another group of people gathered in front of them. Zhang Taiping naturally went over and took a look.

But he is a young man who sells snakes.

Although there were many people watching, no one offered money to buy it. Snakes are only valuable in the eyes of people who know how to use them. In the eyes of ordinary people, they have no effect at all. Moreover, people do not eat snake meat and do not keep it as pets.

If you keep it, you will naturally only see it as a novelty and no one will care about it.

The young man squatted there quietly. He was not a good talker. He only waited for others to come over and asked without introducing himself.

A middle-aged man standing at the front asked: "Young man, is this snake of yours dead?"

"Well, he was beaten to death in the morning." The young man nodded and said.

"How can you sell the dead ones?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.

"I heard that snakes and snake galls can be sold, so I brought them here to sell them."

"That's it." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then you are in the wrong place. You should go to the drug store, which collects these things."

The young man frowned and said, "I've been there, and the money they gave me was too little. They only gave me ten yuan per piece."

There were a total of three snakes placed in front of him. If each snake cost ten yuan, it would only cost thirty yuan. No wonder he didn't want to sell it to the drug store and brought it here to sell it himself.

It was not a good thing that made people linger on. After seeing the novelty, everyone dispersed. The young man's face was full of frustration and he was ready to put away the three snakes.

At this moment, the Taoist priest who had left earlier found a bottle from nowhere and said, "What price are you going to sell this snake for?"

"Fifty to one line." The young man said somewhat unconfidently.

The Taoist priest thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, but said: "I don't want the snake body, just help me take out the snake gall inside."

"Okay." The young man happily took out a small knife and picked out three snake gallbladders and put them in the bottle brought by the Taoist priest.

Zhang Taiping was originally a little interested in these three snake gallbladders, but the Taoist leader got on them first, so he didn't care and turned around and walked towards the side of the street.

Return to the seed store and take out everything. Two bags of fertilizer and two bags of multi-seeded seeds, which add up to about 400 kilograms. Plus some miscellaneous things, most people really can't take them away.

The fat boss said: "How about hiring a car to take it back?"

Zhang Taiping said: "No need." After saying that, he put everything on his shoulders and strode away.

The fat boss’s eyes almost fell out of his head when he looked at it. This thing weighed four hundred kilograms. It was a question whether others could carry it. Unexpectedly, this person put it on his shoulders and walked as fast as flying.

It's like it's nothing.

Zhang Taiping walked to a deserted place, put fertilizer and seeds into the space, leaving only a small amount of things outside, took out the motorcycle, got on it and headed towards Yang Wanli's forest garden.

Autumn is a harvest season rather than a planting season, so garden business is very slow.

The two sycamore trees at the door are still lush, but occasionally one or two yellow leaves fall.

Zhang Taiping took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Where are you?"

"In the forest garden," Yang Wanli replied, "What's the matter with Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Taiping smiled and replied: "I'm at the gate of your forest garden."

"Wait a moment, I'll go over and open the door."

After a while, Yang Wanli rode his bicycle to the door, opened the door and said, "Business is quiet now. When there is nothing else, I close the door."

Alei, who was behind, saw Zhang Taiping and rushed forward very kindly.

Zhang Taiping patted its neck and said: "It has become strong again."

Yang Wanli said with a smile: "Now I eat more and more, and I can't even support myself anymore."

This is just a joke. With such a large family fortune, he can easily feed ten Tibetan mastiffs, let alone one.

After the two of them entered the room and sat down, Yang Wanli first made a pot of tea, and then said: "My wife is not here, and no one is cooking. I will order two dishes to come over, and let's have a drink."

Zhang Taiping said: "Don't bother, just sit down for a while."

However, Yang Wanli did not listen to his advice and directly called Fan Guan in the town to order some snacks to be delivered to him.

After taking a few sips of tea, Yang Wanli asked, "Do you have time to come here today?"

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Autumn is here, I have bought seeds for planting, so I stopped by to take a look."

"Hahaha, I forgot, my eldest brother is still a farmer." Yang Wanli said with a smile.

Zhang Taiping also smiled: "Yes, we still need to plant land, vegetables, and fruit trees."

"Oh, I wonder what fruit trees Brother Zhang needs?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "Pomegranate trees and golden orange trees are not planted in large areas. They are just one or two planted in the orchard for home use."

"I have both kinds of trees here. Let's go and take a look first."

The trees in the forest garden began to wither during this season, but some flowers were in bloom, especially the golden chrysanthemums, which were particularly bright, and some were even as big as the mouth of a bowl.

Zhang Taiping looked at the flowers surrounding the house and said, "There are quite a few flowers."

Yang Wanli shook his head and said, "It's not my main business. I just buy flowers and trees from the market when I have nothing to do. I take them back and plant them around the house to make them look pretty."

A total of two pomegranate trees and two golden orange trees were dug. Finally, I discovered that there were also pineapple trees, so I dug two more trees.

Not long after, the appetizers were brought over. Yang Wanli took out two bottles of fine Xifeng wine, and the two of them drank several glasses of wine.

"October 1st is the National Day, and the whole country is on holiday. I am also going to give myself a few days off to go to Sichuan with my wife for a few days. I wonder if I am interested in going with my sister-in-law when I grow up?" After three rounds of drinking.

Yang Wanli said.

Zhang Taiping was moved in his heart. He was indeed a little moved, and there was someone there who wanted to meet him. But he still shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't leave. In the past few days, people have been calling to ask about the situation of the manor.

I will go there during the National Day, and there may be a lot of people there, and they won’t be able to get away.”

"Oh, I forgot, your place is crowded during the holidays."

The two of them drank two bottles of Xifeng wine directly. They were both large amounts, and there was no sign of drunkenness.

Yang Wanli said: "Two more bottles." After saying that, he was ready to stand up and take more.

Zhang Taiping waved his hand and said: "Forget it today, it's getting late. It will be dark when I ride back. Let's drink some other time when we have time."

Yang Wanli looked at the sky outside. The sun had already set. It was indeed getting late.

When Zhang Taiping returned home, it was completely dark, and dinner was ready at home.

"We just came back? We were about to call you." Cai Yazhi took the thing in his hand and asked.

Zhang Taiping replied: "I sat at Yang Wanli's place for a while and drank a few glasses of wine."

"You're riding a bicycle, and we're still drinking?" Cai Yazhi felt a little offended.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "It's okay. It's not like you don't know my drinking capacity. I just had a few drinks and it won't affect anything."

"Well, no matter what, it's better to drink less when riding a bicycle in the future."

Zhang Taiping agreed: "Okay, I will remember it."

Cai Yazhi took a look at the things she bought. She asked that some vegetable seeds and various seasonings were brought along, as well as some black wheat and black rice seeds. Then she asked: "Are you going to win black wheat?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Well, I plan to plant some black wheat and black rice. These substances related to black are very nutritious. Eating more of them is good for the human body."

Cai Yazhi has no objection to these. She has also heard that washing your hair with black sesame seeds can make your hair black and shiny. Presumably black wheat and black rice also have similar effects.

So he said: "Then we have to find another place to plant these black wheat separately."

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Isn't there two plots of land for planting millet? Just use it for black wheat. As for the black rice, I will get a piece of it at the edge of the pond where there is plenty of water."

Cai Yazhi nodded and put these things in categories, and then said: "That Wang Feng came over to see you just now and said that you should give him a call when you come back." Or handed over a note with a message on it.

Phone number.

Zhang Taiping put it away and made the call after dinner. Wang Feng rushed over not long after taking the call, naturally discussing the use of horses for the wedding tomorrow.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Taiping asked.

Wang Feng still couldn't let go in front of Zhang Taiping. He rubbed his hands with some restraint and said, "Just ride over and pick him up in the morning."

Zhang Taiping drove him away and said, "Sit down, what are you afraid of me doing? I don't know how to eat it for you?"

Wang Feng sat down a little awkwardly.

Zhang Taiping said: "No problem, I will move the horse there tomorrow morning."

Afterwards, the two discussed some details, and Wang Feng left with peace of mind after receiving Zhang Taiping's final guarantee.

To be honest, Wang Feng's plan was very simple. It was inconvenient to drive a car in the mountains, and there were not many cars available, so he borrowed Zhang Taiping's BMW to fill the scene, which was not a retro wedding scene at all.

Zhang Taiping thought about making the big sedan as soon as possible. If someone gets married by then, leasing it will definitely create a sensation.

The weather was fine the next day.

Zhang Taiping got up early. The black dragon could not carry anyone else except Zhang Taiping, so there was nothing to do with it today. Zhang Taiping put it in the mountain and let it find food on its own.

He brought Hong Zao to the front yard and washed his whole body first. Then the women Cai Yazhi and Fan Ming began to dress Hong Zao up. Today was a happy event and they had to dress up Hong Zao in a cheerful manner.

Zhang Taiping said to Cai Yazhi: "When you are free, you can think of making some ornaments, just like the decorations used for ancient weddings on TV, and then decorate the sedan chairs and horses."

"Okay, after the busy autumn is over and I have some free time, I will think about doing something." Cai Yazhi responded.

Zhang Taiping said: "If you don't have any ideas, you can search for some ideas online."

Cai Yazhi nodded.

The village is not big, with only fifty households, so everyone in the village will be invited whether it is a wedding or a white event. Although the people in the mountain village are not rich, they are still very willing to do this kind of big event that only happens once in their life.

There are many procedures and details involved in welcoming a bride in the mountains, and it will definitely take a long time to stay at her parents' home, so the team to welcome the bride leaves very early.

In addition to a handsome red horse ridden by the groom, there were two trucks carrying large furniture. The people who went to welcome the bride were all young men, led by "orators" invited from the city.

The so-called "talker" is the kind of person who specializes in talking to attract guests on red and white matters. He is very good at talking. He can express sadness when he is sad and happy when he is happy.

A group of young people were sitting in a truck, chatting and laughing in the mountain breeze.

Zhang Taiping was also sitting in the car. He was also assigned a task today, which was to smoke. A package behind him was full of cigarettes. They were considered happy cigarettes. When the two families arrived, they would smoke to communicate and smoothen their relationship.

, non-prestige people in the village cannot take the position.

A young man sniffed and said, "Handsome uncle, let me give you a cigarette."

The speaker is fifteen or sixteen years old. He is called Uncle Zhang Taiping because his grandfather always calls the old man uncle.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "How old are you to smoke?"

The young man said with a smile: "I am in the second grade of junior high school, and I have smoked for such a big age."

A young man next to him who was similar to Zhang Taiping smiled and patted him on the head and said, "Be careful, I'll skin you when I go back."

"Oh, forget it." The boy shrank his neck, obviously afraid of his father.

Zhang Taiping smiled and tore open a pack of cigarettes from the bag behind him and gave one to everyone in the car, including one to the boy.

"I have it too. You won't tell my dad, right?" The young man took the cigarette into his hand but was a little worried.

Everyone else in the car laughed.

Zhang Taiping also smiled and said: "I won't tell your dad this time, but you are still young and should smoke less."

"I know, I know." When the boy heard Zhang Taiping said he wouldn't tell his father, he immediately took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, took a puff, and then blew it out from his nose.

Both the bride-in-law and the daughter-in-law have to treat guests, but the wedding daughter-in-law's affairs are much smaller. They only invite some clan relatives and people with close relationships. But even so, the seven aunts and eight aunts still block the door of the bride.

Be strict.

In the end, it was Zhang Taiping who was smoking and handing out melon seeds, peanuts and wedding candies in front of him before he managed to find a way to lead the groom to the outside of the bride's boudoir. However, the door was closed tightly and even the curtains were drawn tightly. It was doomed here.

It's going to embarrass the groom.

Tricky questions were asked from time to time in the room, and the groom was held up for more than half an hour before he gave up. Then a window opened, and a small hand stretched out. This was a child asking for a red envelope.

Zhang Taiping took out the wrapped red and white envelopes from his pocket and stuffed them into the little baby's hand. Then the door opened a gap, and there were several little children behind, all stretching out their hands to ask for red envelopes. It's not his own money that doesn't make Zhang Taiping feel bad.

Taiping generously gave each child a red envelope. In fact, it wasn't much. A red envelope only contained ten yuan, which was incomparable to the hundreds or thousands in the city.

After all the hardships, he finally took the bride out of the boudoir and put her on horseback. At the same time, the young men who came to welcome the bride were also full. With a shout from Zhang Taiping, they all stood up and carried their things to the truck.

.

The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the wedding team returned.

I returned to the village at around eleven o'clock, and nothing happened to Zhang Taiping.
