Ten Mile Room

"There are still five days until the first Changhui Art Conference!"

Squeak...! !

quack……! !

Click! Click! ! ! !

In front of the old stage, the smell of sawdust and the noise flew together for ten days.

Because the sound of this chainsaw was too disturbing, Jiang Gezi's three large meat pots became two, then one, and then... none of them.

The neighbors would rather bid farewell to the influence of art than come to suffer such torture.

After all, it was too tormenting, creaking, rattling, it was killing people.

In this way, everyone who can hide is hidden.

If you can't hide, you can only suffer like a short life.

This morning, Jiang Gezi got up at four or five o'clock in the morning to work overtime again. After getting up, he took a chainsaw and worked on the large wooden sculpture that was almost the same until about nine o'clock in the morning, when he heard Deng Changnong outside the vine wall. Calling him at the top of his voice: "Master Gan!! Taozi and the others are here!!"

In order not to be disturbed by others, Jiang Gezi ordered his own son to surround this place tightly.

Otherwise, those old sparrows would come in and out, pointing and pointing like a master, which is really annoying.

Before the thing is finished, no one is allowed to see it again.

Deng Changnong yelled several times through the vine wall before the creaking in the shed stopped.

At the moment of stopping, the neighbors around the old stage felt the peace and tranquility in their hearts that they had never had in their lives.

The Quiet World is so beautiful like his grandma's!

Jiang Gezi came out of the shed all in gray. As soon as he came out, his eyes, stimulated by the light, felt sour.

When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he saw a fat forsythia covering its ears, fleeing desperately towards the basement.

Taking off his gloves, Jiang Gezi rubbed his eyes with a smile, removed the dust mask, and after brushing away the sawdust in his hair, he took the teapot that He Mingchuan brought, stretched his neck, and then acted like a rich man. Like a master, he sat on the grand teacher's chair brought by Lin Yuanchun.

He also flipped a shoe and drank tea with one foot on a chair.

Just at the edge of the old stage, more than [-] girls of the right age in Laosanxiang were all shy and timid, looking at their master with trust and admiration in their eyes.

Our grandpa, even if we drink tea with one foot up, it still looks spicy and good-looking.

In fact, most of these girls are just pretending to be shy.

That's right, it's all fake!

In the past, when Laosan Alley fought against outsiders, there was no need to wait for the old men to fight. As long as there was a conflict, the big girls, young daughters-in-law, and old ladies in the old street could rush up and kill them directly.

In this way, a group of home-grown sparrows who can sell their mouths will be nourished.

It doesn't matter whether it's quarrels or hands-on fights, the people in Laosanxiang have never lost when they go out, that's true unity!

In addition, the local folk customs have been strong since ancient times, especially the blood of Gao Ke is mixed in it. It is a place where there was a country of daughters and women made decisions.

The so-called geese leave their voices, it doesn't matter how many generations they have mixed up, anyway, the girls in Laosanxiang, not to mention their hot temper, are all tall and big.

The minimum starts at 1.7 meters.

Jiang Gezi tilted his head and looked at the little girls in front of him.

how to say!We see each other every day, and those who come and go are all acquaintances.None of these girls are sharp and sharp, and none of them are beautiful.

It's not that they can't dress up.

That is not the concept of dressing up at all.

Even, what they wear is not too particular.That's really... what to wear, what to wear, what to wear...

Although I understand, isn’t this the demolition of Laosanxiang? Every family is full of work, and they are catching up with the upsurge of making money... Not to mention beautiful, a group of girls are crowded together in winter, and there is no fragrance of makeup. He said that as soon as people walked in, there was a vicious smell of sweat on the nose.

But why don't you wash it up and come back?

Didn't I tell you to pack up?

Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Jiang Gezi asked them helplessly: "Didn't I notify you? Tell you to pack up. They all rolled out of the coal ash pit?"

The little girls looked at Mr. Ganzi who was covered in sawdust, but didn't make a sound.

After looking helplessly for a long time, Jiang Gezi waved to Taozi tiredly and said, "Taozi, go find a ruler and measure it. Girls who are over 1.8 meters will stand aside first."

In this way, the thirty or so girls quickly counted the remaining eight, all of whom looked at Jiang Gezi in bewilderment.

After they stood in a row, Jiang Gezi stood up, took a teapot, walked up to these girls while drinking, and began to look around in a circle.

He shook his head while watching.

No matter how important Lao Sanxiang is in his heart, he has to admit that the girls in Lao Sanxiang really cannot be promoted, and there is simply no way to start.

Look at all of them, they don't even wear lipstick, they don't even put face oil on, and some girls don't hesitate to put on their old lady's coats.

He asked, "Peach?"

Miss Tao Zi strode out from the eight people, and replied very loudly: "Yes! Grandpa Ganzi! Who do you want to measure?"

Looking at the aura of the little squad leader, Miss Taozi, she can be regarded as very powerful.

Jiang Gezi looked Tao Zi up and down.

Is this girl dark again?Moreover, she didn't lose her baby fat round face, and she still had two plateau red lumps on her face that were exposed to the sun because she helped the family. She is a girl of seventeen or eighteen, and she even wore a piece of her brother's?her father?Factory gown...the clothes are so crumpled, they can be used as rags right away!

This is too careless!

Whoops!O my girls!What can I do with you?

Jiang Gezi said angrily: "Measure your fart! You go find a few books, and together with them, give me five books on each head, and go to the stage to walk around in circles for me. All of them are like Zhang Zhang!" It's like flying... Oops! It's really hopeless!"

Jiang Gezi muttered helplessly, and in the end he could only take a long breath, and returned to the chair to lie back.

Tao Zi asked behind him: "Master Ganzi, what is Meng Zhang Fei?"

Jiang Gezi waved his hand angrily: "It's you! Walk for me!"

In this way, more than thirty girls, each with five books, climbed up to the old stage, and began to circle around.

It hadn't been half a circle, and these girls couldn't hold back and started laughing and joking, and they started to make a fuss after pushing and shoving.

Jiang Gezi felt that the sound of his chainsaw was nothing. The noise behind him was probably comparable to his biggest chainsaw, or the kind with two teeth missing. Heart.

A book flew down from the stage, Jiang Gezi tilted his head, and the book flew over and fell to the ground.

With a bang behind him, someone jumped off the stage, ran up to Jiang Gezi with his tongue out, bent down to pick up the book, and flew back to the stage like flying.

There was a burst of laughter on the stage.

Jiang Gezi let out a long breath and shook his head helplessly. Hearing the commotion behind him, he could only turn his face and yell at Deng Changnong: "Go! Get me a pair of chopsticks and tell them to bite one in their mouths. Tell them to bite me with their eight big teeth!"

Gag your mouths and tell you to twitter again!

Now, the world is completely silent.

But from time to time, there was a small noise like chi chi fart.

There are still books being thrown off the stage...

Jiang Gezi kept swinging from side to side to avoid hidden weapons.

My heart is getting colder and colder.

Half an hour later, I saw Uncle Huang strolling over from the alley with his hands behind his back and his son Huang Chuxu.

As soon as the two of them arrived, Uncle Huang laughed and joked with Jiang Gezi when they saw the liveliness of the old stage.

He said, "Yo, Master Gan, are you choosing a concubine?"

Jiang Gezi laughed, and handed the small teapot in his hand to He Mingchuan, took the wet towel handed to him by Lin Yuanchun, wiped his hands and said, "Master, you read too many legendary stories. In this place, the selection of concubines is still ancient. It happened at that time! This is the welcoming etiquette."

Uncle Huang repeated with some incomprehension: "Yingbing underwear?"

He looked at the group of little girls again, wondering why the good people turned into underwear?

Huang Chuxu, who was following behind his father, saw his father's face changing back and forth from white to red, and knew that the old man was thinking wrong.

Although he didn't know what an inner garment was, but seeing those girls walking with their books on their heads and chopsticks in their mouths, after a little thought, he understood what it was for.

Just entertaining at the entrance of the big restaurant in the state, soliciting customers and girls with positions.

Hey!Don't say it!

Master Pole, this is a good idea!

At that time, regardless of the foreign art professionals asking that famous artist to sit in town, relying on the little girls to entertain them, they will always be able to attract the masses of judges, right?

He looked at the group of "Zhang Fei" again, and thought for a while...

Well...probably...will be scared away!

Thinking of this, Huang Chuxu conveniently put the tea box he brought on the pier beside the grand master's chair, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, your method is really good! I was worried a few days ago. Tomorrow, the battle is spread out, and if no judges come in, it will be useless, but they...do it?"

Jiang Gezi picked up the tea box, opened the lid and smelled it, and asked the two, "What is this?"

Huang Chuxu sat on the tree stump brought by Deng Changnong and the others with a smile and said, "This is wild tea."

"Wild tea? Where's the wild tea?"

"Where else could it be? Changqing Mountain! This was when I was five years old, and my father and I went for a walk on the mountain. My father found a few wild tea trees on the side of Wulongpo, branched them, and went back the next year. , The branches that were planted came alive... This is not a good thing, you! Just try it... It's always our intentions! Those tea trees grow randomly, anyway, we don't care about others, they I am also pretty good, no, every year my dad will take us to pick some leaves and come back for a long time, you can taste it, can you still eat it?"

Not long after, Jiang Gezi took a cup of hot tea and took a sip. He slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "It's delicious, and it's... not bad to drink, and it's quite fragrant."

Uncle Huang smiled triumphantly: "That's right, he's over 40 years old, and those trees are also old trees, and he always wants to come up with some wild and interesting ideas, but ah, at most two bubbles will be boring. Let's If there is something interesting in this place, you can seek a natural and comfortable place.”

Several books flew over the old man's head.

The old man was so startled that he almost threw the teacup out.

Two "Zhang Fei" jumped down from the stage, they laughed wildly and ran past...

Among them, Zhang Fei even lost a rag shoe. She ran a few steps with bare feet, laughed wildly, ran back, pulled it on, and ran away.

There was another spontaneous hahaha on the stage.

Jiang Gezi smiled helplessly while holding the teacup: "Oh, no, I also want to be at ease naturally. The problem is... these girls, it's okay to give them a spear and tell them to fight..."

Just as he was talking, a group of people came from the entrance of the alley.

As they got closer and closer, everyone could see clearly that the person leading the way was a very charming middle-aged woman, who was supporting Team Leader Xue with an affectionate demeanor, and walked towards this side step by step like a curl of green smoke. It's coming.

It's amazing that the group of "Zhang Fei" on the old stage suddenly survived.

When the group of people approached, the woman let go of Leader Xue, and walked slowly to Jiang Gezi. According to the old rules, she gave Jiang Gezi a hug, but she didn't bow.

Then she said in a gentle voice with crispness, with a thousand kinds of tenderness in the crispness, and ten thousand little hooks hidden in the tenderness: "Liushuntang, the main beam of the hall, Bailanhua, has paid homage to Master Ganzi!"

The so-called supporting beams are actually the main beams of the house.

According to the old rules, it is the title of the head of the theater troupe, who is in charge of the family.

Jiang Gezi hurriedly returned the salute, "Master Bai, you're being too polite. The age is different, so you don't have to do that, do you?"

Bai Lanhua raised her face and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

In this look, there are at least ten ponds living in Qiushui'er.

Then the hearts of the men around here flew to the sky.

"Look at what you said, we are all serving old jobs. Others don't care about these old rules and etiquette, we can't lose them! We still eat with these empty etiquettes, right? Grandpa?"

In fact, Bai Lanhua is over 40 years old, and her facial features are not even considered a beauty.

What is a beauty? Only people like Jiang Gezi and Lian Yanzi can be considered beauties.

It's a pity that Jiang Gezi and Lian Yanzi can always find a way to toss their good looks and leave only one or two talents, and sometimes they don't even leave the scum.

Look at other people's white orchids.

Apart from Jiang Gezi, who was named by others, his thoughts were a little bit off.

People have a special temperament and a special taste.

Every move has the natural charm of a famous painting.

Wherever you stand, it doesn't matter what shape it is, if it looks like someone else's, it will be stiff if it is too much, and ugly if it is too little, but it is just right and beautiful, and there is nothing redundant.

A person's eyes are not big, but they can bend into three spring peach colors, and she can smile with the breeze blowing her heart, and the ecstasy of a fairy's passion.

This is the charm that a beauty who is overwhelmed by the country and the city should have.

Introducing the guests to the tea pavilion, the white orchids walked around the pavilion without being annoying, and praised it with a hundred thousand people.

Jiang Gezi said a few polite words. He wanted to order someone to fetch water from the well, but he yelled a few times but no one answered him.

Wait for him to look back.

But I found that a group of country bumpkins in my family were sucking their bellies one by one, and the fake ones were over there...

How to describe it?

Uncle Huang supported the wall beside him with one hand, and with the other behind his back he made a serious gesture of watching the little girl training on the stage.

He is also extremely "majestic" over there.

"Stand up! What are you looking at? Stand up quickly!"

On the stage, a little girl murmured back: "Uncle, Master Gan told us to go around in circles."

"Cough! Then... stand up, uh... circle around! Quick! Be serious! En! En!"

If he didn't sneak peeks here and there from time to time, he would still be a bit of a gentle scum.

Whoops!These guys are worthless.

Before Jiang Gezi opened his mouth to curse, he heard someone ouch.

Leader Xue took his blind stick and beat Deng Changnong and the others on the head.

"I'll hit you, you idiot who has never seen a woman! Where are you looking..."

There were coughing sounds all around.

After a long time, everyone finally found their senses, but it was like banana slices under their feet, and they accidentally entered the tea booth by mistake.

Jiang Gezi pushed the teacup in front of Bai Lanhua and said politely: "I don't know where Bai's Liushun class is usually set up. I have seen the team catalog at the end of previous years, but I haven't heard of this name? If it wasn't for the class leader Xue said You guys are here, I didn't even know that Chang Hui had come to be the leader of the big class!"

Bai Lanhua took the teacup and thanked her, took a sip unhurriedly and then said: "I'm not here, we are the native troupe of this town... In the early years, Liushun troupe still had a mouthful in Sanchang County. Food, but...that year when my team encountered a ghost, we had to avoid Duanyang County of Lu State, and I was young when I left, seven years old."

After finishing speaking, she smiled strangely, and looked around at the silly old men around.

That's right.

Then it's not in your 40s, hey!It's hard to guess a woman's age anywhere.

Jiang Gezi nodded with a smile, and asked again, "Is that so...why are you back again?"

Bai Lanhua looked at Team Leader Xue, and said affectionately in her eyes: "It is said that there is food at home! Liushun class~ This is also Ye Piao's hometown. To come back, Uncle Xue asked someone to bring a message some time ago, saying that the time has come and it is time to go home, so we will come back."

Jiang Gezi looked at Team Leader Xue in surprise and said, "Squad Leader Xue is actually your uncle?"

Bai Lanhua chuckled: "It's my junior uncle, there are nine more!"

At this moment, suddenly a dry and hoarse voice beside him interjected and asked, "That's right, why is only Liu Shun back, and who are in Yi Shun's class?"

Hearing this, Jiang Gezi turned around in surprise.

It was Grandpa Duan who didn't know when to come.

He looked at Bai Lanhua with a flushed face, hesitant to speak.

But Bai Lanhua obviously didn't want to answer this question, she stretched out her very pretty fingers, lightly drew circles on the edge of the pottery cup in front of her, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Who knows! Maybe... …It’s dead outside, most of the meat is rotten, it stinks!”

Grandpa Duan's face turned pale.

Bai Lanhua stood up, took off her well-fitting light green windbreaker, revealing a black-bottomed button-up jacket embroidered with golden luan birds.

While rolling up her sleeves, she pointed to a few boxes outside and said, "Jiang Ganzi, the things outside have been arranged according to your requirements, please take a look first."

Jiang Gezi looked at Grandpa Duan with a smile, then at Uncle Huang who had been afraid to come over there, nodded and said, "Okay."

This group of house sparrows, it seems that all of them have fancy intestines!

In the yard, seven or eight large camphor wood boxes were all opened.

After Jiang Gezi took out a box from the box and opened the lid, he took out a leaf-shaped silver six-hanging step and shook it twice.

In front of the old stage, there was a long-lost sound of tinkling metal impacts, and it rippled quickly.

The old ladies who were sewing near the gable of the alley suddenly stopped sewing, and all of them looked at this side together.

Bai Lanhua asked with a hint of complacency on her face: "Master Gan, how is the craftsmanship of my helmet set?"

Jiang Gezi picked up a lark's silver headdress in admiration and looked at it repeatedly, and also sincerely admired in his mouth: "Beautiful, amazing! There are really not many such craftsmanship now."

"Not many?" Bai Lanhua raised her eyebrows, and said with a small arrogant look: "I don't know what is here? They are all bad products made of casting molds! They can be made like this, and there is a trace of wrapping. The craftsmanship that comes out is my family! It’s really life-threatening, and my little uncle lives in our dilapidated shack every day and feels wronged. He really guards from the beginning to the end, and he has to touch it several times to produce one piece. There is nothing wrong with that.”

Jiang Gezi laughed lightly when he heard this: "Where did he go to supervise the work? He disliked me making a noise with the chainsaw. It's true that I went to your place to hide."

Having said that, Jiang Gezi turned his face to the stage and shouted: "Tao Zi, take them down!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Gezi said to Bai Lanhua, "Please trouble me! Next, I will trouble Team Leader Bai."

Leader Bai reached out and took down a palm-sized white bone fan from the jacket pendant, opened and closed it with his delicate hands and chuckled, "What are you talking about! Let’s talk about the internal affairs... I’m all for collecting money, if you lose a penny, I’ll be lazy for a penny, come on, leave it to me here.”

However, just a few minutes after Team Leader Bai uttered such big words...

Holding a small fan, she propped up Taozi's chin, looked around politely, and then her face turned dark.

She said: "My God, how did your mother raise you?"

How did you raise it?

Miss Taozi couldn't understand what the old aunt who was singing in front of her was talking about.

This girl is really honest, when people ask this question, she will answer the real question.

"Eat rice! Eat noodles! Eat vegetables! My dad gives me a bonus, so I eat meat!"

Bai Lanhua's chest bulged, and soon she stopped laughing, covered her mouth with a small fan, her eyes suddenly became stern, her words pierced her heart like a knife, and she began to bleed:

"Really, look at this toad skin-like face! It is said that beauties come out of the Yuanbao River! Well... now there are no more beauties, and all of them don't even have human appearance, and they can't even wash their faces. Is it? Look at this face? Is this leg hair?

...What are you?The pimples are connected into hills, you have to ask your mother to use a spatula to get rid of it! !Tsk tsk tsk... I don't know how to ask your mother to go to the floating fire for you, has your mother cooked women's soup for you?

... The coffin boards of our aunts in Laosanxiang will not be able to cover them!Look at our girls!Oops, this is really... those bastards who have wiped out the concept of beauty and ugliness, and there is no scum left!How did you clean up yourself?Still eat meat?Live seventeen or eighteen in vain?Living like this at the age of seventeen or eighteen, if I were you, I would find a rope to hold it, and find a beam to hang me to death! ! "

These words were too harsh, and the eye circles of several fragile little girls were red.

Leader Xue coughed twice, and stopped with a weak tone: "Come on, don't blame them, it's their parents' fault! Besides, you know how to afford it! You can talk about it! Already!"

Bai Lanhua turned her face and scolded: "You too! Look what you're wearing? You think you're on stage in a long gown! Leave me alone! There's nothing to do here! Clean your face! You can’t even do it?”

Leader Xue nodded obediently, and quickly fled the scene with his blind stick on, heading for the tea pavilion.

Behind him, Bai Lanhua's voice made three turns and was still stabbing there.

"Bring me hot water all of you, and go and remove all the ashes at the bottom of your pot. You can't get rid of them! Just give me a try!!"

Inside the tea booth, Jiang Gezi's shoulders trembled, and he looked left and right at the group of native sparrows, whose voices were usually louder than the other.

This meeting is good, everyone is cautious, hiding here like a cicada, and everyone is pretending to be gentle.

Holding a teacup and curling the orchid finger?

Do you think it's the one outside?Can't tell the difference between reality and the stage, acting casually around, speaking like reciting lines?

Jiang Gezi smiled helplessly, lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the silver ornaments.

After a long time, Uncle Huang came over and asked him in a low voice, "Master, are these... all silver?"

Jiang Gezi sneered: "You are so beautiful, silver? Copper-nickel!"

"Oh! Cupronickel, that's what I said... It's been so many years since I've seen a complete girl's jewelry..."

"I also ordered embroidered shirts for them outside."

"Yo, that's a good thing."

"They don't wash their faces, and no one is allowed to wear them."

"I think it's quite...clean. Look at Taozi, how nice it is. It's red and pink..."

A few gentlemen talked in a low voice, each of them took courage and came over quietly, looking down at those things with friendship.

Grandpa Duan touched a magpie and said: "His mother used to have such a thing. Later, when the house was not good, the old lady dismantled it and ate rice noodles one by one! Hey, I am sorry for the child." Ladies and gentlemen! In the old days, the girls of our old Sanchang, no matter how poor they were and couldn’t afford gold, they had to dress up the girls in silver clothes... At that time, when the little girl went out, her feet were at least as big as You have to drop eight silver jingle bells...Grandpa, I didn't praise you, how old are you, how do you know this rule?"

"Yeah, how good it was for the girl at that time. Early in the morning in the third alley, there were crisp and crisp sounds. How good it would be..."

Jiang Gezi lifted a partition from the box, and with a ring of bells, he picked up a Ruyi buckle belt made of white copper and said: "Recently... I went to see the local county annals and saw a few paintings and embroidered portraits. It looks nice."

Uncle Huang patted his legs, originally he wanted to say something loudly.

However, there was an angry shout from outside.

"Can't wash it off? Impossible? This isn't a birthmark? It's a black neck ring that hasn't been washed for a long time... Tsk tsk! Go peel a pot of potatoes, cut them into cubes and soak them in water, and soak your face in the potato water!" I still don't believe it, there are unclean faces in this world?!"

Everyone in the room touched their faces subconsciously.

The startled Jiang Gezi also touched it.
