Chapter 659: Customs

"Why do you suddenly want me to pick up my family and come to my hometown for the holidays?"

Zhang Chu didn't say the specific situation when he called Huang Yan over, so Huang Yan didn't know why Zhang Chu suddenly asked him to bring his child over here for the Dragon Boat Festival.

To be honest, I've been outside for a long time, and now it's becoming more and more casual for days like festivals. They should also have a scene, eat a zongzi and eat a meal together, and many of the original customs are almost forgotten.

"Hehe, I asked you to come and watch the dragon boat race, and by the way, experience the atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival in your hometown. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Chu replied with a smile that his mother had already prepared a bath of calamus and wormwood for the three little guys, and there were calamus roots to eat. As well as the original cucumber and scallion, as well as peppers, these are all essential things.

Even in order to follow the mainstream, Zhang Chu's parents also wrapped some zongzi out, and then Zhang Chu and Zhang Yong's families had to eat. Their family has not celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival together for many years.

As I get older, I feel less and less concerned about the festival. Only the children, and the elderly who want to reunite with their families will think about various festivals and hope that the family can be reunited.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang Chu and his brothers got together early in the morning. Zhang Chu helped his mother wash the green peppers, then put them on the charcoal fire to roast them slightly, and then put them in a bowl and crush them.

Add ginger and garlic and salt together. After beating, this is the chili pepper, which can be eaten directly or used to drink porridge. The peppers are all relatively tender peppers and not too spicy.

Otherwise, Zhang Chu's family of five is really not used to it, they have been in the south for a long time, and now the taste is getting closer and closer to the taste of the southerners.

It's too hot over there, and eating too many spicy things is the easiest thing to get angry. In addition to ginger and garlic, the tender scallion will also be crushed together, which is very fragrant.

Zhang Chu is a little resistant to this thing, and he didn't like to eat it very much when he was a child, because this thing will fart if he eats too much, and it is very smelly.

In addition to these, Zhang Chu's mother also picked a few cucumbers grown at home, then smashed them, and added white sugar to eat them directly. The buns and zongzi are made a day in advance, and this is the breakfast of the Dragon Boat Festival.

According to the earliest process, on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, all people will not eat hot food at home. Now this piece has been changed, and there is no restriction on whether you can eat some hot food.

Such a standard process is now more and more widely applied in Zhang Chu's town, and it has become a special custom. On this day, whether it is a restaurant or a restaurant, these meals will be served to customers.

After breakfast, Zhang Chu and his family drove a few children to the big reservoir to watch the dragon boat race. There are also in the south, but Zhang Chu and they have never seen it, and the dragon boat race over there is still a little different from Zhang Chu and them.

Huang Yan was on the side and told a few children about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival and various customs. In fact, she didn't know many customs, but she suddenly remembered it after seeing Zhang Chu's mother do this.

Several of the children are still very interested in stories and customs. While listening to Huang Yan's story with relish, he followed the car to the big reservoir to watch the dragon boat race.

This side of the reservoir is now the most distinctive scenic spot in the town, with a small power station, a ten-mile peach forest, a greenway along both sides of the reservoir and a research and development center for agriculture in southern Shonan, plus a film and television center on the side.

There are a lot of tourists here every year, especially when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Although the current Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race has been carried out, it is still a lot worse than the number of people watching the peach blossom season.

Zhang Chu hasn't been here for two years, and now there are many changes here than two years ago. Along both sides of the reservoir, there are now a lot of wooden villages built here, as well as some blue brick wharves, which are used for film and television city to shoot movies and TV series.

The remaining part is rented out and used here to sell various tourism products, as well as various special products of the town. After all, there are a lot of people here, and these shops earn a lot of money every day.

The town's film and television city is now much larger than before, except for a large area here at the beginning, and now some branches have been opened on the Lao Cai side and the source of the reservoir.

On the one hand, these places serve as scenic tourist areas, and on the other hand, they are also places where movies are filmed in the film and television city. As a prolific film company, Shonan Film and Television has a lot of TV dramas and movies that shoot here every year.

It is these films and televisions that have brought fire to the tourism of the film and television city and the town, and also developed new tourist venues for the town, which is a mutually beneficial cooperation model.

After arriving at the side of the big reservoir, there were already many people on both sides of the river. Zhang Chu and they were not in a hurry, but went to the residential area over there in the film and television city, where Zhang Chu also has a well-built house, they want to watch the dragon boat race, just stand upstairs and watch it.

"Over the years, the town has changed more and more from year to year. Now I guess many cities in the south are not comparable to our town, and this is really a good place. ”

After arriving at the place, Huang Yan glanced at the popularity outside, and chatted with Zhang Chu with a smile. She has a deep understanding of the changes here, when she first got married, she was very poor here.

"This is the credit of Jiang Jing and them, without their efforts, it would be difficult for the town to achieve its current achievements. ”

These words are not against their hearts, the role of Zhang Yong and Zhang Chu brothers is not as big as Jiang Jing. Many projects are not promoted by Jiang Jing, and they have not developed so quickly.

Although Zhang Yong is now the second-in-command in the town, after he took office, he followed Jiang Jing's previous plan more. A lot of the foundation was laid by Jiang Jing at that time, and they just need to follow it.

"Jiang Jing said that thanks to your help, in addition to those good suggestions and financial support, without these, it is difficult for this side to develop. Is this a business compliment between you two?"

After listening to Zhang Chu's words, Huang Yan asked with a smile. Jiang Jing is her cousin, and Huang Yan sometimes chats with Jiang Jing, and she will talk about these. In fact, Jiang Jing and Zhang Chu are both indispensable factors here, and it is useless to have one less.

"Come on!"

The husband and wife were chatting, and the two sides of the reservoir had begun to cheer, and the dragon boat race began. Zhang Chu and the others stopped chatting, got out of the car and got into their own house, standing on the top of the fourth floor, and the dragon boat race on this side of the reservoir was unobstructed.

A few children couldn't hold back their curiosity for a long time, and they looked excitedly at the dragon boats in the reservoir, and cheered with the tourists downstairs.
