Chapter 30: The Narrow Road (2)
Originally, there were a lot of words, a few jars of wine, and he knew everything and said everything, until he really had nothing to say.
Nangong Dusk put the silver on the table and went back to the inn to rest, the recent time has been traveling day and night, physically and mentally exhausted.
Places have already been found, and there is no rush for a while.
When you lie in bed and close your eyes, you instantly feel like the whole world has calmed down.
Qunfang's domestic singing and dancing were leveled, congratulations on the Dragon Boat Festival, Hua Ningshuang demonstrated making zongzi and wrapping zongzi in the hall, Nangong Rou watched and did it, and thought it was very interesting.
The Dragon Boat Festival originated from people's desire to worship celestial phenomena and evolved from the dragon sacrifice in ancient times. During the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, the seven nights of the dragon soar to the south of the sky, which is the auspicious day for the dragon to fly to the sky.
I didn't expect that this country, which has never existed in the history books, would have the same traditional festivals as in modern times. Modern people think of Qu Yuan today, and in the eyes of the people of Qunfang, it is just because
On auspicious days, worship the dragon ancestor and pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits.
There are a lot of calamus and wormwood hanging outside the door, and the fragrance of wormwood is fragrant.
"My hands are a little sticky, and the glutinous rice is too sticky." Nangong Rou looked at her hands full of glutinous rice and felt uncomfortable.
Hua Ningshuang thinks that this is the time for her to show her skills, "It's good to get used to it, and I'll make you glutinous rice chicken to eat later, but it's not wrapped in dumpling leaves, but lotus leaves." Please enjoy the food with the Prime Minister and the National Teacher, Qi Junshi is not here, and I am not blessed to enjoy the delicious food I made with my own hands. ”
"Lotus leaves, glutinous rice chicken? Is that good? I've never eaten eh! ”
"My craft, you can rest assured. It's not easy for you to make zongzi, or do you kill **? After plucking the chicken feathers, peel off the stomach and remove the internal organs, wash them all and soak them in water. ”
Knowing that she could change jobs, she smiled happily, stopped and asked, "How many chickens do you kill?" Rooster or hen? ”
"Kill two hens that are relatively fat and not too old, if you don't know the way, let Gardenia take you, and by the way, help me urge the pork, why haven't you sent it over for so long."
"Don't worry, it's not easy for me to make zongzi, and killing chickens is a dish for me! By the way, after noon, let's go to the dragon boat race. ”
It seems that I have been doing nothing like a big fool for almost two months, or I am insensitive to the review and turn on time. It's rare to be happy with the people today, and be happy once.
Hua Ningshuang smiled from the bottom of her heart, "I will definitely participate, such a lively scene, I will definitely attend in advance." ”
Today, the palace is empty, she ordered the whole people to rest for a day and have fun, if anyone dares to force laborers to do things during the Dragon Boat Festival, they will be fined 100 lashes and 20 taels of silver if they are caught.
I didn't expect everyone to choose to sleep on the holiday, maybe for the dragon boat race in the afternoon, so let's recuperate.
The cook still has to cook and cook, and he can choose to rest for five days in the future, but no more than two people are allowed to ask for leave at the same time, otherwise the number of people is not enough to cook the dishes, after all, so many people want to eat.
I forgot when to wrap the zongzi, so I stopped at noon.
The original white dumplings, pork dumplings, date dumplings, and lotus seed dumplings are each wrapped in eight, just two for each flavor.
It took her hands to wash the soap horn for a long time, because the aroma of the soap horn was not too strong, so it was not very pleasing, so she decided to make a few pieces of soap when she rubbed her hands.
Girls are more stinky and beautiful, not only will they buy all kinds of bright lipsticks and soaps, but they will also find time to make some for themselves.
Hua Ningshuang tried very hard to recall the scene of making handmade soap by herself, and she couldn't remember all the materials, but she could probably still remember it, and it shouldn't matter if she didn't have one or two differences.
"Sister Ningshuang, you are washing your hands, I didn't bother to wash off the glutinous rice on my hands when I killed the chicken, and I soaked my hands when I washed the chicken, so it wasn't sticky." Nangong Rou did her own thing and ran to her, the sun was like fire, hanging high in the air, and the dragon boat race was about to start.
After washing her hands, she stood up and shook off the water from her hands, saying, "The glutinous rice is too sticky to wrap, but it can't hold up and it tastes delicious." Okay, let's go dragon boat racing, they're waiting for us! ”
Afraid that the opponents would not dare to win the game, Hua Ningshuang also deliberately explained that she and Nangong Rou participated and did not take any rewards and rankings.
The official level is almost a group to compare, and it is proportional to the dignified and upright, and there are no unspoken rules.
The first place winner ↪ each picked a piece of precious jewelry, and the team members divided two hundred taels of silver equally
The second place winner ↪ each picks an ordinary piece of jewelry, and the team members divide one hundred taels of silver equally
The third place was ↪ divided equally between 80 taels of silver
Fourth-sixth place is ↪ divided equally between fifty taels of silver
The consolation prize is a wreath for each person, which is taken home to worship the gods.
The rankings are arranged according to batches, a batch of 12 teams, 120 people, and a total of five batches of registrations in the afternoon.
Summer is slower than other seasons, and even dusk is bright, so five batches should be just right.
Liu Huiya stood at the starting point to preside, and Jing Shuicheng presented the award at the finish line.
Even if you row to the other side of the shore, it will be successful, and the time will be short, so it will not take a lot of time, and you will have fun during the festival.
On both sides of the strait and on the bridge, there was a sea of people, full of people, and it was very lively.
Men, women and children all came to watch the game, and there was nothing interesting and fun in ancient times, let alone a live TV series, only people on the scene could have a good time.
