Ten Mile Room

In fact, the best way to forget your troubles is to try to get yourself tired.

In the past two days, the neighbors in Laosan Lane have each received a booth according to the decoration chart sent by Jiang Gezi. Those who wash stones wash stones, those who saw wood saw wood, and those who painted wallpaper painted wallpaper...

Like a large factory, each of the workshops produces a part, and the neighbors don't know what they are doing, and they dare not ask their own masters what they are going to do...

Master Ganzi has been in a bad mood these past few days, his face is covered with dark clouds, it is as scary as being able to pretend to be Lei Gong with a sledgehammer.

Anyway, they did what Jiang Gezi told them to do, and it was always right to be diligent.

But Jiang Gezi felt that the old and the young were not good at all.

Occasionally, when the neighbors are free, they still like to wander up and down to make a fool of themselves, so they insist on watching.

Go to the exhibition hall next door to listen to the performance, go downstairs to listen to the rehearsal of the artist's lecture, then go to experience the rich decoration of the house, eat two snacks, and look at the souvenirs that they have piled up half the room. Let's look up to the awards that other artists have won around the world...

You just watch it, and when they come back, they still want to lower morale, talking about it while doing it, and they can't believe that they can get things done with things like Laosanxiang.

Jiang Gezi was impatient and kept working as a psychology teacher, so he had to pretend to be sullen. He saw who was in a bad mood and wanted to nag, so he assigned someone to do a lot of work. Tired mother does not know.

The old neighbors also learned to behave well later, and they dared not chatter one by one, and even forced to smile, showing that they were fearless in the form of bragging.

But they thought in their hearts, just treat it as playing house with our master Ganzi, as long as he is happy.

The time to do things always passes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the third day, which was also the last day of the Changhui Art Conference.

At around ten o'clock this morning, Jiang Gezi finished the last process of coloring the bark. He raised his face to look at the broken alarm clock that Fourth Brother Duan had placed on the workbench. Seeing that it was almost time, he clapped his hands. Shouted loudly: "Stop it all! Come! Look here!"

In this way, the neighbors in Laosan Alley stopped their work and looked at Jiang Gezi one after another.

Jiang Gezi took off his gloves, patted the dust off his body, coughed again, and said, "Quick work~ let's stop here for today! There won't be much work in the future, so you can go wherever you like. Whoever you want to eat dim sum, I don't care about you after I finish eating!

I also found someone else to do the rest of the splicing work.Also, Mr. Guan Shan and the others are going to carry my walnut tree in the afternoon. Brother Duan, please watch it for me, don’t bump it for me...and don’t ask the children to remove the red seal on it for me, it’s unlucky... ..."

With Fourth Brother Duan's reply, the atmosphere in the room slowly relaxed.

At the scene, there was a burst of oops, oh my god, and the neighbors were limp as if their bones were pulled. They were lying down, sitting and sitting, and their bodies were so heavy that they were tired from falling from the eighth floor to the first floor.

The third sister-in-law of Duan even held up her swollen hands, with tears in her eyes, and said pitifully, "My god, my master! This... can be regarded as the end of the matter! I just thought, I want tonight If I rush to work again, I will... have to shorten my lifespan by at least 100 years..."

Her man Duan San didn't wait for her to finish complaining, so he stopped him quickly: "Shut up, you are the only one who is tired because you all do the same job? You only have a short lifespan of 100 years, so why don't you be born... ..."

According to the past, the pair will definitely wrestle for a while, and tearing each other is normal.

But today, the third sister-in-law of Duan just held the glove with her hands, turned her head and hit her man a few times weakly, and then lay down on his lap.

The old neighbors also laughed weakly, and today they didn't even have the energy to add firewood to cheers.

Jiang Gezi was also sitting on the ground. He took out his cigarette and wanted to pass it on.

Then he remembered that the scene was full of flammable materials, so he took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to Fourth Brother Duan beside him, saying, "Fourth Brother has worked hard, please finish it, and take everyone to the south of the city." The time-honored brand has a hot soup, and invites the veteran inside to help everyone loosen their bones and relieve their fatigue. When they come out, they will go to Laozhuangzi to find good banquets and set up a few tables for everyone. Everyone has something good to eat and drink. , go home today and sleep comfortably, wake up tomorrow, the young and the old are still a little tired!"

Someone shivered all over, leaned against the wall, opened his mouth, remembering what Ming'er was doing, and immediately felt like he was going to be promoted to Xian'er.

Brother Duan raised his hand and refused, he didn't want it, and he said anxiously: "Master Gan, don't! What are you doing? You can't ask for this! If you accept it, Zhuan Minger, the elder If you can scold us to death, isn't that doing work for ourselves?

You, don't feel sorry for us!Keep this money warm in your own pocket...they all have money!Duan's construction site is not paying a few hundred dollars to hire part-time workers, so we don't hesitate to go there!Don't worry, the big guys are well-off, and there is no shortage of the few you subsidized... Besides, how much can the hot soup cost?The open-air Laotangchizi at the foot of Changqing Mountain is five yuan a person, takes a bath for ten yuan, and then comes out to have a face repair. At most one hundred and ten bucks per person is enough!Take it back, Master Pole!No one is short of you, you are enough to worry about these days, if you spend money, can we still be called someone? "

The third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law also echoed there.

"That's right! The old and the young in the street, and a lot of burdens, all rely on you to subsidize them. How much did you spend in winter? If we ask you to subsidize the money again, it will be useless to be a human being! They all have hands." If you have feet, you are not the parents of the big guy, and you have no obligation, no, you can’t ask for it.”

The neighbors all refused.

"That's right... go out now, don't move at all, and you can get a few hundred bucks if you want to, it's no problem, and you have money!"

"That's right, Mr. Ganzi, after finishing this competition, let's eat the old seats again. You can't post any more. Anyway, the groundbreaking meal was not good, so why don't we join forces and do it again!"

"It's just a fart! You just eat it... I won't join the table with your family in the future. The whole family will bring a mouth to sweep the table, let alone come. Next time your family has to bring a pot to sweep. The whole family Eye stuff, don't eat it with your family!"

"Who cares! Don't talk nonsense, isn't it afraid of spoiling the food, what's the matter with taking the leftovers back?"

"It's nothing. I'm too lazy to argue with you today. Don't add trouble to our master. This day-to-day is enough to drag people down..."

"..."

"Grandpa, you don't need to pay for it. You are only as old as you are. The days of spending money are in the future. We will not be in Laosanxiang in the future. You can't be like outsiders. If you have money, you can keep warm, or you can save it." How old are you, you little brat in the bank, you don’t even have a bond! Anyway, I’ve seen it clearly these days, those artists... Huh! Look up! We don’t want to touch people’s bottoms... Anyway, We want all the apprentices and keep the neighbor's house."

The neighbors chattered and talked about Jiang Gezi's heart. He smiled and put the money back into his pocket.

After all, it's over.

Watching them stand up one by one, you support me, and I support you to clean up the garbage on the ground, leftovers, odds and ends, and they all left in small groups.

Hall No. [-] finally ended its noise, and Jiang Gezi was the only one left in the quiet.

When it was time for lunch, the corridor gradually quieted down.

Only then did Jiang Gezi stand up slowly, walked to the door of the house, looked around first, then went back to the house, locked the door with his backhand, checked the hall again, turned off the lights in the room with his backhand, and In the darkness, I started to use the ten times speed in the game, and started to toss around the house quickly with life skills.

In fact, two days of hard work by the old neighbors was not as fast as his one-hour busy schedule, but no matter how capable, Jiang Gezi would not take away the duties that the old neighbors should perform and live and work on their behalf.

He just patched up the leaks and pasted up the gaps, which is not bad.

If, like Guan Shan Ali, he covered the family's food, clothing and flowers, and had to do everything by himself, then his life would be really boring.

Jiang Gezi worked until about three o'clock in the afternoon. Hall [-] was almost tidied up by him. The only thing missing in this room was the energy-saving effect. Just when all the work was about to be finished, Hall [-] suddenly There was a loud knock on the door.

He turned off the accelerator, jumped off the roof, and carried a paper lantern to the door.

At the entrance of Hall No. [-], Ms. Mo looked at Jiang Gezi with a confused face, and then looked at the lantern in his hand. She saw that it was pitch black behind him, and she couldn't tell how far Laosanxiang's decoration had been made. .

However, at any level, Ms. Mo did not dare to look down on them. After all, these little people who came down the street were too far away from art.

But what kind of door does this one in broad daylight close?

Ms. Mo put a heavy bag into Jiang Gezi's hand, probably because of time constraints, she said a series of words in a hurry: "Master Gan, here is the receipt of your energy consumption for the past fifteen days. I'll get you the staples and set them up! When the competition is over, you can refund the deposit with the note to see how much energy is consumed. We will refund more and make up for less.

Now that the lines are all connected to you, you can pull the main gate in a while. There are also various meal ticket books, dinner party books, and a comprehensive restaurant on each of the upper and lower floors. Cooks from home and abroad are now in place. The restaurant is open every morning at 06 : Meals are provided from 30. It’s free anyway. If the neighbors are going to be free, you can send them invoices on a daily basis, and ask the big guys to take turns and bring their families to try something new!

Oh, here are all the invitations I can get for you, I took all the invitations I could come, those who didn’t go, and some souvenirs are pretty good, it’s just mean to give it away when you bring it back tomorrow, isn’t it?I think there are several places to send silk scarves, and the fourth sister-in-law and the others specify rare ones, what do you think? "

Jiang Gezi looked at the heavy bag, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, it took a lot of trouble."

Ms. Mo smiled and said: "Hey, thank you! It's all right, and I can do this little thing. Yu can't help me with anything else. It can be done by lifting large things. You need to find Mr. Guan Shan?"

Jiang Gezi looked behind her with a smile and said, "Are they here?"

"Hey, it's here! Your thing is too big, the largest elevator can't bring it in for you, so you can only take the large sculpture passage, and they will come up in a while, hurry up, I will push the hall door for you opened"

Jiang Gezi conveniently put the bag on the screen wall table directly opposite the door, turned around and opened the door of the hall to the maximum with her.

The art joint exhibition hall of the Ewha Pavilion, whether it is the height or the width of the gate, is based on the size of a large sculpture.

In addition to not being able to move artworks, as long as it is an exhibition hall above the medium level, it is no problem to put things tens of meters high.

Not long after, Guanshan Ali took his brothers, carried the walnut wood wrapped in red cloth carved by Jiang Gezi, and went upstairs chanting chant step by step.

The giant was tall and burly, and more than [-] people chanted dull chant while walking.

Although the art conference is not held now, the momentum of carrying things is still worthy of artistry.

At this time, in a reception hall in the center of the highest floor of the Ewha Hall, under the bright crystal lights, Yu Dongchi represented the royal family of Kyushu, and was holding an afternoon tea party for artists.

Now, Yu Dongchi is doing all the work related to art in the royal family.

On the stage, a small band of four is playing a soothing tune.

The attendants wore dress shirts with strong Kyushu characteristics and embroidered with silver thread lace, walking back and forth among the guests.They were well-mannered and held various fine wines in a reserved and elegant manner.

And those fine wines just pick up a glass at will, and if you know how to taste it, you can taste it. The wines here are all famous products from the major wineries that came from the royal family.

On both sides of the off-white dining table, various snacks are surrounded by mountains of flowers and fruits. Although it is early winter, the cold dining table is covered with Gael's seasonal colors. There are all kinds of delicious delicacies, which seem to be impossible to buy with cash outside, such as Tangning caviar, Qiguo Dingniu, various luxury fruits from the countries on the south coast, and the best seafood on the east coast...

After eating the cold meal and ending the tea party, the royal family also gave away quite generous commemorative gift boxes.

For example, free annual card for public facilities in Kyushu, several bottles of the 20-year-old wine of the Royal Chateau, a small bronze bust of the founding emperor, and a state banquet invitation signed by the Queen herself...

Things are good, but it's a pity that the visitors are extremely reserved, and they are trying their best to put on a demeanor.

There are two rows of people in the room, one row is waiting for Yu Dongchi's interview and condolences, and the other row is actively socializing after seeing the prince.

No one cared about eating, and was reluctant to leave early after receiving souvenirs.

Yu Dongchi is dressed in twelve layers of white silk with a black background, a thin silk embroidered double dragon and beaded gown, a belt with a blue tourmaline gold buckle on his waist, six jade pendants on the left and right, and a small crown wrapped in silk with a gold mesh dragon on his head. He is handsome and extravagant , it can be regarded as the face value among the current circle of princes.

With the newly appointed officials of Changhui County, he is also brushing up his favorability with artists from all over the place.

This reception hall with an area of ​​[-] square meters is not considered the largest hall in the Lihua Pavilion, but it was designed by Yu Dongchi himself, and it belongs to the reception hall where he personally holds private banquets.

This hall also has a very elegant name, called "All kinds of flowers" hall.

Its meaning is extracted from a poem by an ancient Gaelic poet: "Winter is facing the snow in Zhongzhou, the chariots are full of flowers, and the drunken guests in the Golden Palace are suspected to be in Mixia...

Mixia is the place where Kyushu has four seasons and Changchun, and it is also a city of flowers.

While the cups were being exchanged, a dull chant was heard in the hall, and the floor in the room was also trembling slightly.

The guests all stopped their movements and listened with their ears open.

After getting used to it, the folk music artist raised his head and smiled and asked Yu Dongchi: "Your Highness, is there still a folk song performance this time?"

Yu Dongchi was taken aback for a moment, and he said, "Chat?"

After speaking, he turned his face to look at the hall door.

Over there, service personnel opened the hall door and trotted out to check the situation.

As the waiter opened the door, the sound of the chant became louder.

"Hoo! Hey! Hoo yo hey yo... Hoo! Hey!"

When the waiter came back, he whispered to Zhou Songchun.

Zhou Songchun chuckled suddenly, walked up to Yu Dongchi and said, "Your Highness, it's the pigeon that is transporting the work, the one he picked up..."

He blinked and smiled narrowly.

Yu Dongchi reacted for a while, and then smiled with a full face, full of pampering and helplessness.

He touched the wine glass in his hand, and said in a funny and angry voice: "Hey, that little guy always likes to toss, did he get that broken piece of wood? He didn't move it up and down." Tired!"

Zhou Songchun also smiled and said, "Yes, it was carried by the Guanshan Ali people, otherwise our floor wouldn't be trembling like this."

Yu Dongchi looked at the door, and said with a hint of nostalgia: "We haven't seen him for a while, right? What did he get there?"

As long as the difference is close, I can count the votes for him in the dark, so why bother?

Zhou Songchun shrugged his shoulders, and he looked helpless, thinking that Jiang Gezi had two days to drive a truck to the waste factory to pick up garbage, and he was enough.

I really can't figure out what the pigeons can do with that pile of garbage.

Thinking of this, he also said in a tolerant tone: "Who knows! It's time to eat, and I don't know if he can eat? Today, the Lihuatou stove is not on fire, otherwise, we will be here soon." We're done, shall we go take a look?"

Yu Dongchi nodded happily, and stretched out his hand to take the personnel booklet handed to him by the servant next to him, glanced at it hastily, tilted his head slightly, with a smile on his face, and whispered: "Hurry up later."

"Yes!"

This room is full of fine people, not to mention the artists, but only the officials from various places who brought the delegation this time, as well as the art sponsors of major well-known companies.

These sponsors are no longer on the roster, they are just here to get acquainted with the business world.

Yu is in front of Dongchi, but he doesn't brush their faces.

These businessmen observed that His Highness's smile has been very flat today, although his smile is kind but always distant, until the sound of the chant was heard, His Highness suddenly became happy.

Now, who can make Ba Ye smile?

In the hearts of the big guys, I am really curious and envious.

On the stage, the four-piece band was replaced by an ancient music solo.

Sir Zhou in front of His Highness also had a smile on his face, and after a few words with His Highness, he asked the attendant for a three-layer bamboo lunch box, went around the table to find some rare delicacies, and began to put them into the box piece by piece. put in.

While receiving the reception, His Highness would turn his head and give pointers from time to time.

"Well... Take a few of the four-flavored chicken rolls made by Master Cai... and a few pieces of bamboo cakes..."

Although they didn't have the dignity to come up close to find out what kind of idle melon it was, but since it was brought by that account, it would be clear after a while to go out and test it.

However, before that, they also wanted to taste Master Cai's chicken rolls.

In Hall No. [-], Jiang Gezi thanked Guan Shan Ali.

Guan Shan Ali handed him a brochure.

Jiang Gezi took it with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What?"

Guan Shan Ali replied in a low voice: "This year, you didn't take any of the pole jobs! It's just a small one... you can give me face anyway, besides, the price given by Zhongzhou is not low. , I will give you a price of [-] guan for one kilometer."

Jiang Gezi quickly slid his finger across the inch-thick workbook and asked, "There are so many forbidden areas of the Kyushu Devil's Nightmare?"

Guan Shan Ali shook his head: "No, this is global. According to the international rules of whoever restores the land, the land belongs to that country. After the promise is made, we will give us [-]%..."

Jiang Gezi laughed when he heard this, he raised the brochure, jumped up, patted Guan Shan Ali and scolded: "You are a fool! Don't be the master of this matter, when the spring of next year, we will also use this Ewha House to open a The Pole Conference, the above clauses have been passed one by one! Do you believe it, I will help you this winter, next year? What about in the future? You can let it, the old guys are the masters, and you can do it? Or let the old guys Let's all call to discuss together, we are not witches, we have to rely on the royal family for food."

Guan Shan Ali took the brochure and stood there for a long time in a daze before putting the brochure back into his pocket, nodding his head, and said dully: "Success! You have the final say!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jiang Gezi's venue in admiration, and it took him a long time to say: "Jiang Ganzi, I envy you, this place...is really good."

Jiang Gezi was beautiful in his heart, but he pretended to be modest and said, "What, just mess around, so what... Tomorrow you will build a Gaoke Folk Village in your hometown, and then sell some local products. There is a tourist route here in Laosanxiang, I can still help with this..."

Before he finished speaking, Guan Shan Ali's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Jiang Gezi's venue is a place that can inspire people. Using this place as a reference, his ten-mile mountain, his home, and his Guanshan Mountain, maybe we can also create one. This... yes, Gaoke Folk Village!

Guan Shan Ali was excited, so he lifted Jiang Gezi, put it on his shoulder and began to circle around the room.

After turning around, he rudely put Jiang Gezi on the ground, took his clansmen, and ran away like thunder.

Jiang Gezi was dizzy for a long time, feeling very angry.

When he cleared up and chased out of Hall [-], he had already gone far away.

He could only take off his shoes, and flew towards Guan Shan Ali and the others, yelling: "Guan Shan Ali! You are a fool, next time you will hold me in a circle, believe it or not I'll slap you and send you into the sea?"

Over there, Guan Shan Ali's dull echo slowly came.

"I don't believe it! Your slap is too small!"

Jiang Gezi was so angry that he held the door and stood on tiptoe to answer the scolding, but he heard a familiar call from behind.

"Pigeon, you're skinny again!"

At that moment, Jiang Gezi seemed to hear Master Tang's call, his teeth shuddered, and he looked back in embarrassment.

Alas?This guy with dozens of people?Did you come here to mess things up?

Zhou Songchun ran over with a smile, first handed the food box to Jiang Gezi, and then ran over to pick up his shoes as well.

He even wanted to help Jiang Gezi put it on.

Jiang Gezi refused awkwardly.

While pulling on his shoes, he looked curiously behind Yu Dongchi.

In the group behind him, there were not fifty, but sixty.

But they rushed over, but no one spoke loudly, and no one made any extra noise. These people followed Yu Dongchi humbly as if they didn't exist.

Jiang Gezi's mouth was crooked helplessly, he picked up the food box, opened the top and glanced at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, then he picked up a piece of green pastry and put it in his mouth, while chewing, he said to Yu Dongchi: "En... ...Why are you here?"

The etiquette officer behind Yu Dongchi frowned, and reminded softly, "Your Excellency, please pay attention to your etiquette."

Jiang Gezi grinned at him with a snack in his mouth.

He hated people like Yijing Villa very much.

Yu Dongchi also looked at the etiquette officer with an unhappy expression, and waved him away.

It's better to stay away from the annoying people to be safe, otherwise it will definitely cause him to discuss together.

Thinking of this, Jiang Gezi unscrupulously carried the food box, pulled on his shoes, and was about to enter Hall No. [-], and was about to shut this group of people out with his backhand.

Yu Dongchi helplessly called him from behind: "Pigeons! These are the seniors of our Kyushu art world. Starting tomorrow, most of them will become the judges of the art competition..."

Jiang Gezi's hand holding the door was stiff. For a long time, he propped his hairy head, forced a smile and asked the group of people outside, "Then...do you want to come in and take a look?"

Yu Dongchi lost all his etiquette in an instant, and laughed out loud.

After laughing, he stretched out his hand to stroke Jiang Gezi's head and smoothed out his messy hair, and then said: "What are you waiting for, open the door quickly and light up your dark room, seniors please Let me give you some pointers."

Jiang Gezi nodded. He was under the eaves, so he had to curry favor, not for himself, he also had to curry favor for the neighbors in Laosan Lane.

Just like that, he ran to the main gate of the house, and turned on all the lights and sound effects in the house one by one.He even activated the root of a small privet tree he brought with him.

At that moment, the world slowly lit up...

All the people were stunned, and they felt that they were walking in the vortex of time for a moment, and in a moment, they entered the world of true taste in the world...

In Gail, no one has ever combined all the arts in such a way to show a world, such a life with all kinds of flavors...

This group of people was stunned at first, then they were stunned, that heart, following the sound, smell, and sight... unexpectedly became inexplicably sour, and felt like crying...

Imitating the dark, warm and reddish light of the setting sun, the tops of the fresh leaves of the privet tree light up layer by layer... A long, narrow to wide old gable of the old street spreads out in front of everyone...

Under the gable, there is a miniature money bridge copied from the ancient prototype, and the shrunken Yuanbao River is gurgling and flowing under the impetus of an antique waterwheel...

The privet leaves above the head are fanning the cool breeze, sending the world scene of the summer sunset... Several huge, beautiful and perfect koi are swaying and bubbling among the lotus leaves in the water. swaying down...

Birds returning to their nests, cicadas chirping... Then, a clear bell rang... a hoarse voice called out, clear female voices, children's laughter, and old people's conversations, slowly merged into an ancient road. long street.

Those voices are like a lead, pulling the spectators slowly into the old time of Laosanxiang that has disappeared...

"French milk...remember to bring an empty bottle!!"

"Shoe shine... Zhongzhou Laodingbang shoe polish and color class..."

"Glutinous cakes!! Add red dates and sweet-scented osmanthus, and there are only two yuan left. They are sold at a low price for home use... home use!!"
