The moon in foreign countries may not be better than that in China, but the moonlight in the Yunshui Mountains is really much brighter than the moonlight in the city.

On the fifteenth day of August, a round of jade plates climbed into the sky early, shining on the surface of the Fanglin waves, and pieces of jade glow were sown, and the entire Yunshui Mountain area was shrouded in silver-white moonlight.

Watching the moon and watching the jade rabbit, laughing at Chang'e, and listening to my mother talk about the past are much more appropriate than watching the AV Mid-Autumn Festival. It's just that the dirty sky in the city blurs the moonlight, and the impetuous mood makes people no longer want to sit down and quietly taste a piece of moonlight, fall into a ghostly shadow, and inject a sweet and quiet mood.

In this real society where industry is developing rapidly, materialism is rampant, and people would rather cry in a BMW than sit on the back seat of a bicycle, with their hands lightly wrapped around their lover's waist, and enjoy a fresh and pure love, people's sincerity and true feelings have long been put on thick armor, but the most precious innocence has been discarded

Quietly enjoy the moon like the ancients, listen to the elders tell those things in the past that may seem incomprehensible or even ridiculous to young people, sometimes you really need a little wisdom, some insight, and an understanding of life.

Lake Kenma, which usually becomes very quiet at night, has become extremely noisy at the moment.

The feng shui aura and beautiful legends of Yunshui Mountain all revolve around the surface of the 30,000 acres of lake; if the mother river of China is the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, it is the juice of Jianma Lake that has nurtured this side of the water and soil and the spirit of the village. Therefore, every Mid-Autumn Festival, every household will set up their own boats of different sizes, admire the moon by the lake, and worship the moon god together.

In Yunshui Village, Shangxiazha Village, and Liulilouzi Village, there are 7,800 fishing boats in thousands of households; at this time, red lanterns are hung on the bow and stern of the boats, incense sticks for worshipping the moon are placed on the bow of the boats, and tables, chairs and benches are placed on the deck, and the family gathers on them, waiting for the moment when the moon hangs in the sky.

Zhou Yi, an 'outsider', was also invited to the ship by Li Yuanfang early, counting the second leper and Li Yuanfang's old father, and Li Yuanfang's son who rushed back from the city, a total of six people. After sitting down, the second leper propped up the fishing boat and sailed towards the lake, and saw the boat in Yunshui Village building a circle, so he found a place to anchor, and the nearby boats immediately threw over the wooden plank and added the boat of Li Yuanfang's family.

In this way, the fishing boats of each village and every household are connected by wooden boards, which not only makes it easier for people who are friends with each other to talk to each other and drink, but also ensures safety, and if there are waves on the lake, hundreds of boats can gather together and walk on the ground.

Zhou Yi sat on the boat, he had already been dizzying, glad that he didn't have the brains to buy a ticket to fly to France, otherwise he would really miss this rare lively scene in his life.

At this moment, the surface of the lake is brightly illuminated, and many fish are attracted by the light, and they are all gathered in the bow and stern of the boat; the children laugh and throw a handful of flour slag down, which immediately attracts ten thousand fish to move and compete for food; some are anxious, and even jump out of the water, and the adults will never scold the children for wasting food at this time, but just look at it with a smile, encouraging their children to throw more, and see who can lure the fish out of the dragon gate.

The second leper shook his wit, holding a fishing net in his hand, whenever he saw a fish jumping out of the water, it was a net down, and after a while, he actually got seven or eight grass carp;

At this moment, on the deck of each fishing boat, there are three cauldrons lined up, one for moon cakes, one for red meat and vegetables, and one for lake fresh. People in the mountains can't afford to eat abalone and cucumber wings, some are big meat lake fresh, the meat is their own vitality pig, the fish is freshly caught wild fish, just these two things, how much money you spend in the city may not be able to eat the real thing!

After the Li family's mother-in-law stewed braised pork and lake fish, she fiddled with the incense case. The people in the mountains have always had the custom of 'men do not worship the moon and women do not worship the stove', so the gentlemen on the boat only care about drinking tea and chatting, and let her go to work alone; Zhou Yi couldn't bear it, so he leaned over to help, but was slapped on the back of his hand by the Li family's mother-in-law, and gave him a blank look and said: "Stay and go! What do you worship Chang'e lady? Beware that you can't find your daughter-in-law in the future, even if you find it, sooner or later you will leave you alone and go to the moon."

This kind of superstition but with a simple flavor of rhetoric made Zhou Yi stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly: "What, men can't worship yet?"

"Of course you can't worship, brother, come and smoke a cigarette."

Li Yuanfang didn't take a dry cigarette today, pulled Zhou Yi back to the table, smoked a cigarette roll and handed it over: "In the eyes of our mountain people, it is unlucky for the master to worship Chang'e's wife." Isn't this lady locked in the moon? That's because, she's unfaithful to her husband, our girls here worship her, and that's to remind yourself at all times to be loyal to your own man, otherwise you'll end up with her.

"And that's it?"

Zhou Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. Behind such a custom, there is a discrepancy ~ and superstition about women, which he naturally cannot agree with, but it also reflects the simple nature of the mountain people who are jealous and hateful and do not rub sand in the eyes of the singles, but it makes him look cute, and it is difficult for him to evaluate whether this is a bad habit or a good custom for a while

When the women of the family have finished worshipping the moon god Chang'e, the real lively scene will arrive.

I saw that every family pulled out a noodle case, and the old and young masters and mothers-in-law went into battle together, kneading the dough, cutting the agent, and adjusting the filling, wrapped a round moon cake embryo, and pressed it with the moon cake mold, and the moon cakes could be put into the pot. When the moon is in the middle of the sky, I just eat the hot and fragrant moon cakes that have just come out of the pot, and enjoy the moon as a trick, and the whole village is happy.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but itch his hands, grabbed the dough and kneaded it, at first the Li family's mother-in-law was worried that he would be blind, but when she saw his technique, she immediately exclaimed: "Oh, big brother, your technique is really fancy, more skilled than Master Hong's old widow, and you often fiddle with the board at home?"

Zhou Yi unconsciously showed the white case kung fu at the level of the kitchen god. The dough danced in his hand like a silver platter, and when he turned his hand, the dough stretched out in the air, as if it were a silver platter, and it was like magic. With this craft, not to mention the mother-in-law of the Li family, even the pastry chef who has worked hard for more than ten years has to be dumbfounded
