Chapter 40: Bamboo Rice

Eight people followed the guide of the scenic spot and walked all the way to the northwest after entering the park. The street lights in the park are sparse, walking on the winding asphalt road, except for the dense bamboo on both sides of the road, you can't see anything, but the surrounding dark continuous mountain bags and the rustling bamboo forest on the mountain bags when the breeze blows is terrifying. The guide said that more than 600 acres of bamboo forests are planted in this bamboo expo park, and there are more than 300 kinds of bamboo, with different forms, and at the same time there are bamboo museums, Guan Zhulou, bonsai gardens and panda pavilions and other attractions and various interactive entertainment projects. The eight of them were all chaotic and chaotic, and even if they were walking in this garden, they were blind because of the darkness of the night, and they were completely unable to fulfill the guide's description and facts.

After passing the Bamboo Square and the Bamboo Museum at the entrance, and continuing north, you will see a lake surrounded by bamboo forests, with a long promenade on the lake leading to the small island in the lake. There is a bamboo building on the island, and the door of the bamboo building is lit with lights, which is particularly conspicuous. The eight guessed that the place where they had dinner today should have arrived, and sure enough, the guide led them directly into the bamboo building, invited them to sit down, and went out to arrange the meal.

The bamboo building is spacious and bright, and it is antique. In the center, a reddish-purple carved eight-immortal wood table, with four benches of the same material, is particularly conspicuous. On the top of the table, there is an octagonal palace lamp with red tassels, which is painted with the color painting of the eight immortals of Penglai, which is very exquisite.

Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, sit down first and then talk. There was no staff to assign seating arrangements, so they sat down at random. Mo Yijiu and Zeng Jinjin sat together again, Xin Haoge and Tang Yuan on the left, Ren Zhen and Shen Kexin on the right, and Ding Zhengyang and Chai Junshi on the opposite.

The waiter wearing a cyan cheongsam served the tea first, the cup is a small bamboo tube, Ying Ying is a handshake and the hand is very, the tea is bamboo leaf tea, the narrow emerald green fragrance hits people, and the taste is mellow and wonderful. Eight people have never drunk bamboo leaf tea, and they are full of praise for it, Xin Haoge also said that he would find an opportunity to buy a few packs back, and then match such a bamboo tea set, and put it at home, that is pure and righteous, it is simple.

The tea has not yet been drunk, and the bamboo banquet dishes are served one after another. Bamboo tube bean curd, fresh bamboo eggs, white oil bamboo shoots, whip bamboo shoots and chicken soup, jade bamboo bird's nest, spicy bamboo placenta, bamboo sea stewed vegetables, although not all of them are used to eating, but it cannot be denied that the Tao is simply fresh to the bones.

Eight people were eating happily, and the waiter served the last dish, a large plate of bamboo rice, a total of eight, stacked vertically and horizontally, like a hill, the appearance was a little burnt, wafting out the aroma of repeated food, overflowing in the air. There was also a green envelope in the crack of the bamboo tube, facing the direction of Tang Yuan. At the suggestion of the other seven people, Tang Yuan went to take the envelope in a daze, opened it, took out the stationery, and read it aloud carefully:

[So far in the show, you must be wondering what our "Eight Immortals Are Coming" has to do with the Eight Immortals. Therefore, in order to get the theme of our show back on track, this site and the next station, everyone's task will be related to the Penglai Eight Immortals. Now, please enjoy the delicious bamboo tube rice and find the secret inside the bamboo tube. 】

Chai Junshi: "I always feel that I look so casual......"

Director: "It's so casual. ”

Everyone looked at the chief director together, but they didn't expect him to say such irresponsible words. Ding Zhengyang stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Ahem...... Since the director is so willful, let's be honest, let's divide it, one person is looking for secrets, ouch it's really hot, brother, won't you help me?"

Xin Haoge and Ding Zhengyang began to divide the bamboo tube rice, which was about the same size, and there was nothing to pick and choose. The bamboo tube is stout, and a lid is chiseled between the two bamboo knots, accounting for one-third of the entire tube circumference, and the lid is removed, and inside is a row of thin and oily bacon slices, the bacon slices are covered with sauce-colored glutinous rice, and the crystal rice is also inlaid with pea grains and bamboo shoots, which is full of weight.

Zeng Jinjin looked at the lid for a while, and found nothing special inside and out. Picked up the spoon and began to taste the glutinous rice again, she didn't have such a large amount of food, she ate a few bites, although she thought it tasted good, but she didn't have the ability to continue, so she followed the others to dig and dig. Mo Yijiu and Ding Zhengyang simply poured all the rice in the bamboo tube into the bowl and found out.

"Hey, there's a word in it. Mo Yijiu squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and sure enough, he was short-sighted. Zeng Jinjin also leaned over to look, the words were engraved, very small, vague and not clear: "It seems to be a [man]." ”

"What do you mean?" Mo Yijiu and Zeng Jin looked at each other, and there were doubts on their faces.

Ding Zhengyang also recognized the words in his bamboo tube, and said in disgust: "I'm an [old], no matter what I want to do, I don't like this word anyway." ”

When the other people saw that the clue turned out to be pressed under the rice, they quickly poured the rice into the bowl and found the secret in their respective bamboo tubes one after another. Shen Kexin is [female], Chai Jun is [Shao], Ren Zhen is [rich], Xin Haoge is [expensive], once and now is [poor], and there is one Tang Yuan left, which is the funniest and is a [cheap] word.

Tang Yuan cried and fell under the table, shouting "People are obviously spicy and cute", and everyone laughed at him unceremoniously for a long time, and after laughing, he remembered to think about the meaning of these words.

Men, women, and children, rich and poor......

Zeng Jinjin looked at the bamboo tube with the word "poor" written on it in his hand, and thought to himself, is this the will of heaven? After all, she is indeed the poorest of the eight people, but then again, what if it is the poor mouth? It doesn't seem to be so heart-wrenching.

Here Zeng Jinjin was turning a thousand times in his mind, but Mo Yijiu next to him threw away the bamboo tube and said unhappily: "Ding Zhengyang, why did you give me a man?"

Ding Zhengyang rolled his eyes and pointed to his bamboo tube: "The devil knows...... I'm still old, and I really want to change with my brother. ”

"Huh?" Xin Haoge drank a little wine, and secretly killed with a knife in his eyes: "You mean, the word [old] is suitable for me?"

Ding Zhengyang looked at the sky innocently: "I don't have that idea, I just think that your words are with me." If you don't want to, forget it, I like Sister Kexin's one a lot, can I change it?"

He turned to Shen Kexin with a pair of eyes, and Shen Kexin's eyebrows furrowed and he became vigilant: "Teacher Ding, don't beat me, I'm not old!"

Ding Zhengyang was taken aback, and said disdainfully: "We are really funny, we don't understand anything, we have to change it, it looks very unstandard." ”

Everyone was stunned: "Who is going to change?!"

Eight people went to Siberia, but in the end, they still didn't get to the point. The director no longer has hope in shooting the scenes where they show their ingenuity, and calls it a day with a big wave of the board, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow, anyway, this unachieved effect can be dealt with later.

The group went out of the Bamboo Expo Park again and hurriedly got into the car to go to the residence. Although it is a scenic spot, it is located in a small county, so there are no particularly luxurious hotels nearby. The program team has arranged one of the best in the neighborhood, but the eight guests have long been worn out by the previous accommodation conditions, and they have to thank God for their conscience to be able to live in the hotel.

It may be that the room rate of the small hotel is cheap, and the program team is also extraordinarily generous, one person has a big bed room with a view, and I heard that the balcony can see the magnificent bamboo sea. When Mo Yijiu took the room card from the staff, he inadvertently looked at Zeng Jinjin, Zeng Jinjin blinked inexplicably, and suddenly said, "Sister Yi, I will call you tomorrow morning." Mo Yi was stunned for a long time, then showed a satisfied expression, and left a sentence of "The baby is so well-behaved today" before turning around and going back to the room.

Zeng Jinjin and Mo Yijiu's room were not in the same direction, but lived next door to Shen Kexin. She went into her room, put down her luggage, and the first thing she did was to dig out the wild lily she had picked in the morning. Because of the care of the day, the flowers are still intact and fresh. Called to inquire about the front desk, Zeng Jinjin secretly went out of the door, found the nearest flower shop, and bought a bottle of silicone powder and a beautiful sealed glass jar. She planned to make an immortal flower, so that the wild lily that was off the rhizome would stay in full bloom, and then give it to Mo Yijiu, just on the last day. In fact, when she learned about the flower language of wild lilies from Ren Zhen's mouth, she wanted to fold one and give it to Mo Yijiu, happiness will come back, sad and beautiful blessings.

In fact, the practice of immortal flowers is very simple, carefully bury the lily completely with silica gel powder, put it in a sealed jar, let the silica gel powder absorb the moisture in the flowers, in order to achieve the purpose of long-term preservation, but each flower according to its characteristics, the time required is different, a day or a few days, the time is short and can not be completely dried, and the petals are too fragile and fragile for a long time, so it needs to be observed regularly.

But if it still goes bad in the end, Zeng Jin sighed, and has to pretend that nothing has happened, although it is a pity that this wild lily.

She gently clasped the glass jar with the tip of her index finger, and said to herself: "Look at yourself, there are so many wild lilies on that island, I chose you, if you are angry and do a beautiful and perfect job, you can live in the famous Mo Tianhou's house, how good, hey, look at me I'm jealous of you." ”
