During the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Bi family courtyard next to the main temple of the Mawei River. When his family name was Bi Zhihong, he was over sixty years old and still making bean blossoms. The bean blossoms he made were as white as jade and as tender as snow, and scooped into a bowl like a white peony flower that wanted to bloom. The sweet bean blossoms are moderately sweet, and the salted bean blossoms are spicy and delicious.
Bean blossoms
On this day, the arch stars were on the scene, and Uncle Bi carried a bean flower to the scene early in the morning. As soon as you walk together and put down your burden, the buyer comes. It sold out in less than two hours. He drank in a small restaurant, ate and walked back.
Along the way, I greeted acquaintances, met a few old friends and drank Bafang tea in the shop, posing a few words of the dragon gate array before and after the Qing Dynasty. When his shell rushed to ease and walked to the dry river, the sky was black. It was a day on the 20th of March, and there was a little water in the river. There is no bridge in Ganhezi, this is the road from ponytail to arch star, and this is the only way to go. Uncle Bi muttered in his heart: This road, this sand dung, I cat to the eyes to go, I know where the willow tree grows!
stream
He went down the river with his burden on his shoulders. The sand mound is less than two feet above the river. Just by listening to the sound of the clanging, Uncle Bi planted himself in the river. He got up from the water and looked at it, selling the remaining green onions, sugar, brown sugar, and cooked oil spicy seeds, and drifting away with the water. "I met a ghost today!" Uncle Bi picked up the cage and the flat shoulder that had followed him for decades and crossed the river and walked toward the sand dung. Seeing that he was going to the top of the sand, he grabbed a hungry dog and fell on the sand. Uncle Bi propped up with his hands and climbed up, he suddenly felt a flat thing under the palm of his hand, picked it up and looked at it: "Which brick billet is this, cut so thin, no wonder no one wants it." He raised his hand and thought, "It's rare to encounter such a flat thing, and I still need to pick it up and take it back to the Gaimi jar." ”
gold
Uncle Bi returned home, and the family was setting up torches and preparing to find him. Seeing the old man like that, he didn't dare to open his mouth. Uncle Bi covered the rice jar with the brick he had picked up, and thought to himself: "Do the business, and use the old furniture!" ”
The next day, Uncle Bi made the bean blossoms and went to the head of the hall to pick up rice. A few lines of morning light shot in through the wooden window of the hall, and he felt that something was shining brightly, and when he looked at the bright light behind his back, it was the brick he had picked up yesterday that was shining. He washed the brick with clean water and found it to be a gold brick. The family was talking about how to use this golden brick.

The boss said, "Father, your grandchildren are nineteen years old, and they should start a family and live alone." Your old man went to build a few houses for your grandson. Your granddaughter is also sixteen years old, make her a dowry. The second elder said: "We have a large family, only three acres of dry land." You are also so old that you are still making bean blossoms to sell. It is better to buy a few acres of ten acres of full paddy fields, and collect rent and eat in a few days. The third elder said: "I will have money now, go to open a business in Mianzhu City, your old man will be the boss, we will follow you to eat well and play well!" The daughter who had been married in the first year hurriedly returned home, crying and making trouble for Uncle Bi to make up for the escort.
bride
No matter what the brothers and sisters said and made trouble, Uncle Bi always laughed at Mimi and said, "I know how to do these things." Ever since Uncle Bi exchanged the gold bricks for silver, he had left early and returned late. The brethren asked him, "Father, what are you busy with?" ”
"I'm busy with something, or I'm busy with you."
When the brothers listened, they thought to themselves, "Our old man is hard to be good!" ”
In the blink of an eye, it was spring and warm flowers again, and Uncle Bi still made bean blossoms and sold bean blossoms as before. What the children wanted to ask, he always preemptively replied: "Panic, good things are not busy." ”
arch bridge
The story of mawei dry river sub-bridge construction has been widely spread. Several brothers of the Bi family thought, "To build the Hezi Bridge, it will cost a lot of silver, which good person will do a good deed?" Mianzhu, Kowloon, neighboring townships all know that Mawei Township Ganhezi will hold a bridge meeting on the eighth day of April. Several brothers and sisters of the Bi family also knew, and they discussed: "Tomorrow we will all go to see the bridge!" On the dry river, a clear stone arch spread like a full moon across the banks. The bridge deck is 7 feet wide and paved with bluestone slabs. Look at the left and right stone railings: the railing is carved with 24 filial pieties, large pillars are tied, and the sand hat head is carved in all four squares "Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum".
Step on the bridge
Flags flutter and gongs and drums are noisy. An old man in a long robe and a horse coat arched his hands high: "Please ask Old Mr. Bi Zhihong to say a few words." There was a thunderous applause, and Uncle Bi stood in the middle of the bridge. A few brothers and sisters looked at it, the old man appeared today, and yesterday he was still wearing the old blue cloth shirt.
"Folks, I haven't done anything. The money to build the bridge is not mine, it is managed by me, things are done well, and everyone knows it. The elder in the robe waved his hand and said, "The hour has come, please ask Uncle Bi Zhihong to name the new bridge." "Usually I only know soybeans, bile, and grinders. Now you can recognize strips of stone, arch stone、... A few screams came into his ears, and Uncle Bi said happily, "Old Heavenly Son Kong, you see that the welcoming team is going to cross this bridge." The group sang and sang, the title of the big Denko gold list, and the flower candle of the small Denko cave house. How about asking the couple to name the bridge?"?
Singing
Uncle Kong said: Good, good!
He came to the welcoming team and gave the gift, and then said to Mr. Oshi, "Sir, this bridge in Mawei is doing a bridge meeting, but unfortunately the bridge is still unknown." Please ask the new person in the car to open the golden mouth and jade teeth immediately. The abbot pondered for a moment and replied, "Old gentleman rest assured, it is better to be respectful than to obey." Never owe the old gentleman high hopes. Mr. Oshi said this to the bride and groom, and the two nodded repeatedly.
The groom pulls the bride step by step in the middle of the bridge. Instrumental music. The groom said, "The bride stepped on the new bridge," and the bride said, "Prison for eternity." The groom said, "Greed for the word benevolence," and the bride continued, "Golden brick fossil bridge!" The two of them said in a loud voice, "Virtue is the fundamental, Heaven has given the iron plate!" "Suddenly, the drums play in unison and the firecrackers sound in unison.
firecrackers
Fathers and fellow villagers, squires and grain households, worship the old man, and praise in unison: "Merit is immeasurable, righteousness is thin and cloudy." The Bi brothers and sisters woke up as if from a dream, nodded their heads, and said, "The old lady's move is not beneficial to the family, and it is convenient for the merchants and pedestrians in the north and south." worth! worth! Unfortunately, the iron plate was destroyed during the great steel smelting period, and the address still exists. (Luo Jianyun/Text)
