"What is the 'fighting the Eight Immortals'?" Ma Lin asked curiously.

"This 'Fighting the Eight Immortals' is a feature of theatre in Wenzhou. It can no longer be seen in the Grand Theater now, and it can only be seen in the countryside. It is very interesting. You will know later." Ye Rongyao said to Liu Qingqing and Ma Lin and some girls with a smile.

Although Liu Qingqing has been married in the countryside for almost two years and is the first time she has watched a show in the countryside, after all, Taoyuan Village has not started a show for many years. Before Ye Rongyao became better, Liu Qingqing had never left Taoyuan Village, so she had never seen a show in the countryside. She was as interested as Ma Lin.

"Yes, Sister Qingqing, Linlin, the first scene of the rural drama is "Fighting the Eight Immortals", which is very interesting. When I was a child, I especially liked the rural drama, especially the "Fighting the Eight Immortals". I would sprinkle candy downwards. Children like it very much. Look at the stage, there are many children waiting for the Eight Immortals to give candy. When I was a child, I also surrounded me and waited for the candy to give it."

Ye Shuting said to Ma Lin and Liu Qingqing with an excited look on her face. The village plays, which reminded Ye Shuting of the interesting things she had when she was a child.

"Husband, when you were a child, did you also stayed on the stage and waited for the candy?" Liu Qingqing looked at Ye Rongyao and asked with a smile.

"Yes, the villages were still very poor at that time, and children rarely had candy. It was rare that such a good thing would happen, so everyone would definitely not let it go. At that time, as long as there was a show in several nearby villages, as long as there was a show, everyone would not be late for the first show "Fighting the Eight Immortals". They would sprinkle candy on the Eight Immortals waiting on the stage early." Ye Rongyao nodded and said.

"Brother Honor, why don't we go and grab candy too?" Ma Lin suggested.

"Husband, let's go too?"

Liu Qingqing looked at Ye Rongyao and said. Liu Qingqing also wanted to experience the fun of grabbing candy.

"You guys go and grab it, I'll just watch it here."

Ye Rongyao said. After all, Ye Rongyao is almost thirty years old now, and his face is much thinner than before. Now, he is also the number one figure in the village. Ye Rongyao is embarrassed to do such a lost thing.

"Sister Qingqing, Ma Lin, let's go. Look at the stage, there are many women from the village, and they also want to grab candy. Everyone says that the candy sprinkled by the Eight Immortals is lucky candy, and you can get lucky after eating it." Ye Shuting said.

"Brother Rong Yao, aren't you going?" Ma Lin asked at Ye Rong Yao.

"Just go."

Ye Rongyao shook his head and said. Ye Rongyao is very macho. Ye Rongyao will never do such a shameful thing.

"We're leaving, husband, please help us see the location."

After Liu Qingqing stood up and explained to Ye Rongyao, she pulled Ma Lin and Ye Shuting to the front of the stage.

At seven o'clock, it was completely dark, and the stage was surrounded by people. The whole stage was very lively.

The first scene "Fighting the Eight Immortals" tells the story of the Queen Mother holding a peach banquet, where the Queen Mother invites all kinds of gods. The first one is the four gods of the Four-Captain (year, month, day, and hour).

Then came one after another, such as the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Fu, Lu, and Shou, the Empress of Sending Children, Kui Xing, Xiao Bang, God of Wealth, Guan Gong, etc.

Then, after sitting on several very high chairs on the stage, singing a play, and the ended up. The little bangs came up, played by a child in his teenage years old, but this role was also quite hard, and he had to turn several occasions on the stage. Then, all the gods returned the favor one by one and walked behind the scenes.

Then came up alone. First, Kuixing appeared. Kuixing was the god in charge of fame and imperial examinations. She wore a mask, held a brush in one hand and an ink bucket in the other. This was to jump on the stage, and she also had to write something in the air with a pen from time to time. This was also people's yearning for a desire to get fame and fortune.

The next person who came out should be Tianguan, who was also wearing a mask, with a white mask and smiling face. The rhythm and music behind each person's appearance are different, and they are all fixed.

After the heavenly official came up, he bowed to several directions first, then picked up the words placed on the table and showed them to everyone, usually the words "Great grains, good luck and good rain". Then he put them back on the table, bowed again, and slowly walked behind the scenes.

Next, the two fairies came up and played the role of the god Ye Rongyao was not very clear. They seemed to perform like grinding rice, weaving cloth, etc. Then another one picked up the child, and another one held a No. 1 cap.

Ye Rongyao couldn't understand it very well, but he could probably estimate the meaning, which was to give birth to children and take the top scorer. In ancient times, people attached great importance to the inheritance of the family line and the title of the Golden List.

The music behind him became extremely high, and the God of Wealth with a gold ingot in his hand came up, wearing a black robe and a mask.

It was very interesting. He would deliberately point at the audience below and then stretch out his hand as if he would give him the ingot, and then take it back immediately.

After a few trips like this, he would wave his hand to call the people waiting aside. In the countryside, someone would have to buy the Eight Immortals. Only those who would have to come up and get the ingots, and then they would have to exchange the red envelopes for the people who play the God of Wealth for the ingots.

Then, the person who plays the God of Wealth will open the red envelopes, take out the money one by one, count it for everyone, and then roll it up and go behind the scenes.

The people who have this package of "fighting the Eight Immortals" are usually rich people in the village. After all, in front of so many fellow villagers, the money in the red envelope is counted one by one for everyone. If there are no three or five thousand, I feel embarrassed to pack this package of "fighting the Eight Immortals".

Otherwise, they would be laughed at by people from several nearby villages. Ye Rongyao also knew this person who bought the "Fighting the Eight Immortals" today. He was Ye Rongkai, a very rich person in the village. He ran a factory outside. He heard that his family property was tens of millions. He had already bought a house in the city and lived in the city. This time he went home to spend the New Year with the elderly for the New Year. He happened to have a show in the village. This bag of "Fighting the Eight Immortals" was reserved by him.

For those who do business, they are particularly concerned about such auspicious things. Judging from the amount of money counted by the "God of Wealth" just now, it is a considerable red envelope.

Next is the last project to fight the Eight Immortals. The church is a pair of newcomers, wearing phoenix crowns and robes, flower gauze hats and red official clothes to celebrate the audience, and then they will take away all kinds of food such as fruits, beer, candy, etc. that have been placed in front of the stage.

Of course, there are red envelopes, which must be opened and displayed one by one for the audience. This red envelope is different from the red envelope just now. This red envelope is for newcomers who are worshipping. One red envelope costs 800 yuan and two red envelopes cost 1,600 yuan, which is issued by the village elderly association.

Then there is a very interesting part, which is to divide the sugar. Here we need to dismantle the sugar, and the two new couples spread the sugar to the audience below.

At this time, there were children in their teenage years old around, and they were all jumping. After sprinkling candy on top, they all enjoyed grabbing. Many women were also grabbing candy. However, there were no adult men who were robbing candy. After all, men were good-looking.

Ye Rongyao was paying attention to his wife and the others, and saw them snatching candy under the stage, and they were more active than those children.
