Yunli walked around, and the other fields were also in this situation, although there were no parents coming, and the people who participated in the Shuangmi Festival were all young people, but everyone was very skilled in these worship processes, and it seemed that they grew up on the side of the mountain, and they had already buried deep in their bones the awe of the mountain and the land.

After the worship is over, everyone gathers together to cook lunch together. According to the customs of Shanglu Village, the location of the annual Shuangmi Festival gathering will be arranged in the topmost terraced fields, and this year, it happened to be in the terraced fields of Huang Yanli's house.

Here, when the child reaches the age of junior high school, it means that he has reached adulthood and can come to participate in the Shuangmi Festival, like Huang Yanli has just entered high school this year, but she has already participated in the Shuangmi Festival three times before. In the entire Shanglu Village, there are about 40 young people of school age, many of whom are junior and senior high school students, and several of them were former students in Yunli's class.

"Teacher Yun, why didn't I see you all morning, just now we were still saying that you didn't like these country customs and didn't come?" When they arrived at the meeting place, there was already a large group of people gathered here, all familiar faces. Seeing Yunli coming, a young man with a peaked cap in the crowd jumped out and said to Yunli with a smile.

"I think it's good, but you're a kid, jumping and jumping, it seems to be so good, right?" After seeing the person coming, Yun Li subconsciously looked down at the other party's legs and responded with a smile.

"Hehe, I don't think it's a big deal, and I don't need to go for a check-up now, the doctor told me not to do strenuous exercise." The guy scratched his head and said with a smile. He was Xu Rui, the student who fell off the cliff and broke his leg, and now it seems that he has recovered, and seeing him makes Yun Li unconsciously think of the mysterious energy under the cliff.

Fortunately, everyone sent Xu Rui to the hospital in time, otherwise he would probably not have a chance to jump now. Afterwards, Xu Rui's parents and his grandfather Xu Bo personally came to Xiaolushan to thank Yunli and gave him a thank you money, but he refused, saying that this was his duty as a teacher and he couldn't accept any of them.

The peasant family attaches great importance to kindness, the so-called grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates, their family is not very rich, plus Xu Rui's expensive medical expenses, the savings saved over the years have been spent tenth**. Fortunately, Yunli often recruits workers here, which can allow them to earn some subsidies, since Yunli does not collect money, they work extra hard, every time they go to Xiaolushan, they are the earliest to come and the latest, so that Yunli is deeply touched and appreciates their simple concept.

"Okay, okay, won't it be clear if you wait and dance a bamboo pole?" At this time, Huang Yanli and several other students also came over and joked. After Huang Yanli went to the county to study in high school, Yunli rarely saw her, but her parents often came to Xiaolushan to see Yunli, whether it was a part-time job or a family routine, they were very familiar.

I haven't seen her for a while, but she seems to have grown again, and among the students, she is the tallest, taller than most boys, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

"Okay, people are almost here, everyone will have lunch first, blind date, and then talk slowly after eating, I have seen the weather forecast, today is cloudy and sunny, breeze, it will not rain, and there will be time for you to talk about it later." In the crowd, an older man shouted to everyone, causing everyone to laugh.

However, his words still worked, and after everyone laughed, they went to get the packages they had brought, took out the various ingredients, and started to make lunch on the spot. In the double rice festival, everyone must eat bamboo rice, the steps of making zuò are also very simple, the bamboo tube for holding rice has already been prepared, everyone only needs to bring glutinous rice and ingredients to fill it, add an appropriate amount of water, and bake it on the fire, you can make a very authentic bamboo tube rice.

Yun Li, together with the Xu family sisters and brothers, as well as Huang Yanli and a few people who knew each other, lit a fire and started to make it. Although the steps are simple, it is still very particular to make a bamboo tube rice.

First of all, the bamboo tube should be of moderate size, bamboo and green bamboo, too large to burn out easy to sandwich, too small and easy to paste, bamboo to be long and thick, so as to withstand a long time of fire. Freshly cut bamboo can not be used directly, to break to soak it in hot water, dry for two or three days, can not be dried for too long, the purpose is to evaporate part of the water in the bamboo, the advantage of this is that it can remove part of the astringency contained in the bamboo, the bamboo fragrance is raised, and the bamboo tube rice tastes more fresh.

The ingredients of the bamboo rice are not particular, you can put whatever you like to eat, you can choose. Yunli took a look, and everyone's favorite ones are small shrimps, bacon, and shiitake mushrooms, and there are also heavy flavors, with a lot of chili peppers and peppercorns.

At first, Yunli was really not used to eating glutinous rice here, and the taste and taste were very different from the rice he had eaten before. Later, he came up with a solution, which was to mix glutinous rice with ordinary fragrant rice and cook it, so that it was much easier to accept. Gradually, he concluded that the effect of 30% glutinous rice and 70% fragrant rice is the most in line with his taste, with moderate softness and hardness, fragrant and glutinous.

After discovering this mystery, Yunli immediately shared it with Aunt Fang, and mailed her a large bag of glutinous rice produced here. Lu Ci tasted this kind of mixed rice and gave him a thumbs up, making Yun Li feel that this sense of accomplishment was no less than any previous achievement.

In terms of ingredients, only a small pinch of dried shrimp and a few pieces of shiitake mushroom slices were added, and the bamboo tube was closed and put on the grill to bake.

In addition to bamboo rice, everyone will also make some dishes that they are good at, but due to environmental restrictions, they mostly cook some baking, baking and other foods. Yunli brought a large bag of potatoes, as well as some fruits and vegetables picked in the experimental field, which were distributed to everyone, and he also received ingredients from many people. In this atmosphere of sharing and communication, he recalled the scene of going to a picnic when he was a child, and he never imagined that many years later, he would be able to relive this unforgettable experience of his childhood.

While everyone was making lunch, the man who spoke before led people to dig a shallow pit in the middle of the terraced fields, and also got a lot of plantain leaves, and laid a big green ring around the shallow pit. From Huang Yanli's mouth, Yunli knew that they were setting up a lunch venue, and the shallow pit would light a bonfire later, so that everyone could gather around to do activities, which was also one of the traditional projects.

The man who led the leader was Huang Yanli's cousin, named Huang Li, twenty-seven or eight-eight, and because of his age, he naturally became the leader, assigning work to everyone and hosting this event. His parents are Huang Damin's cousin and sister-in-law, and in the incident of Xu Rui's fall off the cliff, his parents were the couple who called for help, and Xu Rui was their neighbors.

It didn't take long for all kinds of burnt food to be prepared and delivered to the plantain leaves. When the bamboo rice was ready, everyone sat around, and then Huang Li brought a wooden pile and dried straw, set up a triangular pile with wood, spread dried straw, lit a fire, and the bonfire came out.

After the bonfire was lit, everyone opened the bamboo tube rice, grabbed a small handful of rice while it was hot, and quickly threw it into the fire.

In addition to bamboo rice and food baked on the spot, everyone also brought a lot of food prepared before, mostly pastries and snacks, each with its own characteristics, and of course, the rice wine brewed by each family, whether it is a sacrifice or a party, it is indispensable.

This lunch is like eating a buffet, everyone can walk around casually, except for their own bamboo rice, other food is shared, see what you want to eat, go directly to get it. Yunli likes this atmosphere very much, and he keeps shuttling through the crowd to try all kinds of food, and he can't get tired of it.

"Lu Ci's boyfriend, why didn't you see Lu Ci coming?" Yunli "scraped" a lot of food, wrapped in plantain leaves, and was about to sit down to taste them one by one, when a low female voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"We've met, in that cold drink wholesale store, your name is Shen Hong, right?" Yunli calmly turned around and saw a woman with a long ponytail, looking at him with a smile.

Seeing that Yun Li recognized himself at a glance, Shen Hong was also a little surprised, and said in surprise: "We seem to have met once, I didn't expect you to recognize me, it's a great honor, I was joking just now, don't take it to heart." ”

"It's okay, I like to joke too, but it doesn't work out very well every time, and it turns out to be a joke." Yun Li laughed to himself.

This ponytailed woman's name is Shen Hong, an employee of the Luzhen Cold Drink Wholesale Department, Lu Ci's co-worker, when she went to Lu Ci last time, she had a relationship with her, and I remember that she was joking with herself like this again.

Lu Ci basically has no friends, this Shen Hong may be one of the few, she usually takes care of Lu Ci, although she looks ordinary and has no characteristics, but Yunli still recognizes her at a glance.

"You're so interesting, no wonder Ah Ci hasn't been willing to go back to the store lately, I'm still wondering who has the ability to kidnap her." Seeing that Yunli was not angry, Shen Hong continued to talk.

"Sit down and talk, are you also from Shanglu Village, I don't seem to have seen you much." Yunli beckoned Shen Hong to sit down, and spread those delicacies between the two of them for her to eat together.

Shen Hong was not polite, sat opposite with a grin, picked up a baked potato, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and then explained: "It used to be, and then I moved to the town, but every year I will come back to participate in the Double Rice Festival, the purpose is very clear, that is, to find a partner, but I have participated so many times, alas! ”

Yun Li couldn't tell if she was joking or serious, but seeing that she had such a bold personality, she couldn't help but quip: "Fate, if you can't catch up, chase it, if you can't catch up, smash it, don't the ancients like to throw hydrangeas, you just smash potatoes, throw it out and hit whoever you want, it's simple and clear, I'll testify to you." ”

"Haha, you deserve to be a teacher, you can come up with such a good idea, it's so decided, you turn around first." Shen Hong was amused by Yun Li's words, and made a gesture to smash him with potatoes.
