Chapter 111: Imitating bird calls? The king of musical instruments: Suona!
"The dishes are all here, so stop standing there!"
"Yes, hurry up and use your chopsticks!"
"If you guys don't eat it, I'll eat it first. I'm so greedy!"
Young people are so thin-skinned that they don’t even bargain when buying vegetables at the market.
They were too embarrassed to pick up food at the banquet, and it was only when Chen Lu picked up the chopsticks first that everyone felt less restrained.
Anna was quite open-minded. Many of the dishes were new to her and she wanted to try every one of them.
In fact, the taste of these dishes can be said to be quite satisfactory.
After all, it is a big pot dish that is prepared quickly, so it is impossible to be as delicate as a private dish.
But this lively atmosphere adds a lot of color to the dishes.
Things that originally tasted ordinary have now become delicious dishes.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the bride and groom came on stage.
This is a more traditional wedding ceremony, with the couple bowing to each other, but the two of them were wearing suits and wedding gowns, not traditional Chinese wedding clothes. It can be considered a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
When Chen Lu gets married, he will definitely choose a traditional wedding ceremony, with all the red wedding dresses and phoenix coronet and bridal bridal accessories to make Anna the most beautiful bride in the world!
Come to think of it, it seems like there’s nothing wrong with tying the knot twice.
Hold a traditional Chinese wedding in China and then a Western-style wedding in Russia, this is the true combination of Chinese and Western cultures!
After all, we have to consider the emperor's feelings.
I can't afford to offend such a cruel father-in-law.
After the banquet, both of them ate their fill.
Chen Lu hadn't eaten such a big feast for a long time, so he couldn't help but eat more.
Speaking of which, eating here is all about the atmosphere. It’s nice to chat with fellow villagers.
After all, we are usually busy and may not see each other many times throughout the year.
We can take advantage of weddings and funerals to get together.
Chen Lu stayed for a while and then prepared to leave with Anna.
Zhao Ming wanted to keep him for dinner, but was rejected by Chen Lu.
They just got married and have a lot of things to deal with. If I stay any longer, I will just cause more trouble.
As for the bridal chamber prank, Chen Lu didn't want to participate even more.
Although this is a tradition, he always feels that this behavior is not very good.
Besides, Anna was there, and he didn't want to make the little princess angry.
"Brother Chen, when are you and sister-in-law getting married, don't forget to send me an invitation!"
"I won't forget it. I'm still waiting to collect your share of the money."
"Hey, why do we have to be so clear about our relationship?"
Chen Lu did not take Anna home, but went to the back mountain.
"Aren't we going home?"
"No, I will take you to see an unrivaled master!"
Chen Lu smiled mysteriously.
"A peerless master? What peerless master?"
"You'll know when it arrives."
[Could it be the legendary old man with white beard? ]
[He must be a martial arts master! ]
[I heard that there are many peerless masters in China! ]
[No, no, no, those you heard are probably all liars! ]
The two headed towards the back mountain. The green mountains and clear waters along the way made Anna feel relaxed and happy.
This is the good thing about the village. There are beautiful scenery everywhere and the air is very fresh and very good.
The back mountain has not been developed and there is only a narrow path.
The two climbed up along the path and soon reached the halfway point of the mountain.
"Did you hear that, honey?"
A voice reached Anna's ears, vague and indistinct. Chen Lu smiled and said, "It seems that the master is in a good mood."
As the two continued to move forward, the sound became louder and louder, and the audience in the live broadcast room could hear it.
[What is this sound? It's so harsh! ]
[Sounds like some kind of musical instrument?]
[What instrument sounds so bad? The person playing it must be a beginner, right?]
[Could it be that this is played by some peerless master? ]
[Is this true? It sounds so bad, but he is still a peerless master? ]
[Watt? I think it sounds good, you just don’t know how to appreciate it! ]
There is a thatched house halfway up the mountain, surrounded by mist, it looks like a fairyland on earth!
"My dear, is this where the peerless master you mentioned lives?"
Anna was a little surprised. This thatched house looked too shabby!
The conditions seem very difficult!
Aren’t peerless masters very powerful people? The places they live in should be very luxurious, right?
Chen Lu saw Anna's confusion and explained with a smile: "With his talent, he can indeed live a better life, with money and status at his fingertips, but the old man is indifferent to fame and fortune and is not interested in these things."
Chen Lu was just about to enter the house when he suddenly heard a bird chirping.
"Cuckoo~Cuckoo~"
[It’s the sound of a cuckoo! ]
[This place is really nice. You can even hear the cuckoo's call. ]
[But I didn't see any birds at all, and the tree was far away. Where did the bird calls come from? ]
After a few cuckoo calls, another bird's call begins!
“Coocooco~Coocooco~”
[Strange, the cuckoo stopped calling, but another bird started calling? ]
[I am an ornithologist, I am sure this is the cry of a female partridge! But it is not the mating season, female partridges should not call. ]
[Oh my god, you are such a boaster! I can even tell the difference between male and female birds just by listening to their chirping! ]
[The above, I just checked his homepage, there is a professional certification, he is really an ornithologist! ]
As they got closer to the thatched hut, the birdsong became louder and louder.
[Do you feel that the screams are getting louder? ]
[It seems to be coming from the thatched hut! ]
[Could it be that a master used a musical instrument to imitate the sound of birds? ]
[Walter? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!]
Suddenly, the partridge's call stopped abruptly!
Chen Lu pushed open the door and saw an old man sitting on a throne, playing the suona!
He had a dark complexion, looked energetic, had a smile on his face, and was completely immersed in the suona in his hands, and did not notice the two people coming in.
The sound of birds suddenly started, and this time it was a different kind!
"啾啾~啾啾~"
[I know this, it's the sound of a swallow! ]
[It seems like he really imitated it! ]
As for the first two types of birds, people are not familiar with them.
But everyone must have heard the sound of swallows.
Whether in the countryside or in the city, swallows' nests can be found under the eaves.
Everyone has confirmed that the bird's chirping sound is coming from the instrument in the old man's hand!
[It really sounds exactly like the call of a swallow. The imitation is so similar! ]
[Does anyone know what instrument he is holding? It looks a bit like a trumpet? ]
[Sure enough, he is an expert! He can even imitate the sound of birds using a loudspeaker! ]
[What trumpet? He is holding a traditional Chinese musical instrument called suona! ]
[What is suona? I have only heard of erhu and flute.]
Suona is the number one rogue in the musical instrument world and is also known as the king of musical instruments!
Rogues are rogues, and you can never ignore their existence!
The tone is high and the sound is loud. No matter how many musical instruments you have, they can never cover the sound of suona.
