Dragon Boat Festival (4-in-1)
In the end, when Yin Lao went home, he didn't bring anything back, but brought back a box of fresh bayberry.
His wife asked him, "Didn't you buy zongzi?" How did I just buy this back. ”
"The rice dumplings in Suiyuan have been delivered, and we have to wait for tomorrow to buy them."
......
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Changshui Village held a grand Dragon Boat Festival event.
Because this year is a critical year for the development of tourism in Changshui Village, the village chief attaches great importance to every opportunity that can enhance the reputation of Changshui Village, and the Dragon Boat Festival is no exception.
Like last Labor Day, Changshui Village invited craftsmen from Shili Eight Villages to set up stalls in the village.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Changshui Village also has many customs, such as matching incense sachets, hanging banyan branches and wormwood, hanging purses and tying five-colored silk threads, so when the Dragon Boat Festival is held, there are many people who come to set up stalls to sell these.
In Moon Bay, Gu Jingyun also cut a lot of herbs on the mountain a few days ago, including mugwort, calamus, and lemongrass, and asked Lin Shuhua to go to the village to set up a stall and sell them on this day.
May is the season of spring and summer, the yang energy rises, all things grow, but all kinds of bacteria also multiply and breed, so people have formed the custom of inserting mugwort in the Dragon Boat Festival, in order to drive away disasters and evil spirits, and pray for peace.
Lin Shuhua is also the first time to do business, the interest is quite strong, and he has prepared a small umbrella, a small bench, and a small fan in advance.
The small market at the entrance of the village during the Dragon Boat Festival is as lively as Qingyang Town during the New Year, and everyone comes out to visit the market.
Small vendors from all over the country have come, some sell trinkets, some sell sugar paintings, rings, balloons, many traditional crafts that can not be seen in the city, you can see a lot today, and there are many small stalls born in season, such as Lin Shuhua who sells herbal medicines, and there are also those who sell Dragon Boat Festival sachets and colorful threads.
Many tourists who come to play also follow the local customs, many adults wear sachets on their waists, and children carry colorful silk threads on their hands.
The village chief said that holding such activities regularly is very beneficial for us to inherit and carry forward the traditional culture.
Now many young people in the city have never experienced such a traditional festival celebration, so Changshui Village held the Dragon Boat Festival this time, attracting a lot of foreign tourists.
The times are advancing, not stopping at all, traditional festivals are gradually materialized, we have become commercial spectators, business seems to deprive us of all traditional cultural participation ability except for buying, buying, buying, commercial connotation is getting closer and closer to us, and cultural connotation is gradually moving away from us.
In the chaotic and anxious modern society, the Dragon Boat Festival has left us a good tradition of removing fire, warding off filth and expelling evil spirits, and keeping our minds clear.
Gu Jingyun said that it is really better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years! It is really worthy of being accustomed to doing mass work.
......
Changshui Village is near the sea, has a wide sea area, and has the prerequisites for holding dragon boat races.
Because of Han's support, the county leaders now do not dare to fight the idea of Changshui Village, but still have a very supportive attitude towards the tourism development plan of Changshui Village.
After all, in the past, Changshui Village had no backer, and they could be allowed to rub and rub the round, but now it is different, backed by the Han Group, which needless to say, this development of tourism will definitely succeed, and it is not a poor village at their mercy.
Another thing is that the dragon boat race held in other towns in previous years was also held in Changshui Village this year due to the "guiding opinions" of the county.
The course runs from the pier in the south of the village to the pier in the north of the village, and the sea conditions are more unpredictable than the river, and sometimes it looks calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents underneath the sea, so the paddling skills are more demanding for the participants.
Because the water area is wider, the audience is also particularly exciting to watch.
The Changshui Village Dragon Boat Race is scheduled to be held from the first to the fifth day of the fifth lunar month this year, from the first day to the fourth day of the lunar calendar, the gong starts on time at 9 o'clock in the morning every day, and the race starts every half an hour, with four competitions in the morning and afternoon, a total of eight rounds of competition, and the eight teams participating in the final are determined.
On the day of the final of the Dragon Boat Festival, Changshui Village was really sunny weather, but because there were too many people on the shore, the people watching had to stack people, and the probes on the inside and outside were probed into their brains.
Some tourists feel that watching on the shore is not enjoyable, and they simply rent a small boat to swim to the middle of the sea, and watch it up close with the action of the dragon boat team.
The beautiful and towering dragon dragon head, the water waves stirred by the oars, the crisp and loud gongs and drums, the neat and energetic rowing posture, and the crowd cheering on the shore are all the moments that photographers like to capture.
And the young men on the dragon boat race are even more popular, spirited, team spirit, and dragon boat racers who do not admit defeat.
This year, Changshui Village also organized a dragon boat team, but because it was the first time to participate, the competition was eliminated on the first day.
Everyone was disappointed, and the boys of the dragon boat team were not convinced, and said that they would train hard next year and try to win the championship and come back.
The village chief was very satisfied with their morale and promised that if they won the championship next year, the village would give them red envelopes.
In Changshui Village, every household in the Dragon Boat Festival picks herbs and boils water for bathing.
Most people have to prepare a small handful of various herbs at home or go to the mountains or buy them on the street, and after eating, boil a large pot of water with herbs for the whole family to take a bath and pray for good health in all seasons.
The water boiled with this herb is blue-yellow and has a faint fragrance, and bathing with the water boiled in this herb will leave a lingering fragrance and refresh your mind.
At night, Moon Bay also offers medicinal baths, which tourists can also experience if they want to experience the feeling of a Dragon Boat Festival medicinal bath.
During this time, the herbs on the mountain matured a lot, and Master Yang picked a lot of herbal tea.
Dragon Boat Festival tea has the effects of clearing heat and relieving heat, quenching thirst, preventing disease and fitness, beautifying and nourishing the skin, and dispelling evil spirits.
During the Dragon Boat Festival every year, rattan tea is new green, honeysuckle is fragrant, calamus is in full bloom, rush grass is in a clump, Houttuynia cordata is all over the field, and litsea cubeba seeds are hanging all over the branches......
Every household in Changshui Village will go up the mountain to pick all kinds of herbs according to their own traditions, wash them and dry them, cut them into small pieces, and make dry tea for a year's needs.
This time, the honeysuckle transplanted back by Lin Dongqing before also played a role, not only the smell of the yard, but also the flower bones that grew were also used to boil herbal tea.
......
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the zongzi business of the online store has also come to an end, and since yesterday, the zongzi are no longer wrapped on Moon Bay.
Chen Yuhang recently made a lot of money by selling zongzi, and everyone was smiling.
Dragon Boat because of the rice dumplings, Gu Yun killed a pig, so the remaining pork bones on this day were used to boil soup, everyone drank broth, Wishing you prosperity and big oranges held the bones and gnawed sweetly.
It is said that the two dogs that Han Qingyi gave to Gu Jingyun, although they are border herders, are raised by the Gu family and are similar to Chinese pastoral dogs, and they eat the same as people, and Gu Jingyun sometimes feeds them with some dog food, but they are not very willing to eat.
Since the bayberry on the mountain began to sell, the sales volume has not been bad, and considering the situation, the money from selling zongzi and selling bayberry should be able to repay the loan of one million.
However, Gu Qianyun still plans to leave some bayberry to do other things.
Although the bayberry on the mountain grows well, there are always some dwarf melons and inferior jujubes, although the taste is not bad, but in the end because the quality is too poor to sell at a high price, Gu Qianyun thought, how can it be able to increase its value.
"Brother Long, can you give me a channel, I want to buy some better liquor." After eating dinner and drinking soup, Gu Jingyun asked Wang Fatzi, who came to give gifts during the Dragon Boat Festival and ate and drank by the way.
This person is used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the garden on weekdays, and he still has such a big appetite when he comes to Moon Bay.
Just a moment before Gu Jingyun asked this, Wang Fatzi had just finished eating three zongzi and drank a bowl of bone broth, and was holding a roast chicken leg and gnawing on it!
Not to mention, the chickens raised in the mountains taste really strong.
"What are you buying liquor for?" Wang Fatzi asked, is this Xiaoyun girl okay with this mouthful, she likes to drink a little wine on weekdays.
"Aren't there a lot of bayberry in poor condition on the mountain? Anyway, they can't sell for a good price, so I'm going to make some bayberry wine with them. Gu Jingyun said that her mother used to make bayberry wine to drink, and she liked it a lot.
Wang Fatzi's eyes lit up, and he narrowed into a slit with joy, "The bayberry wine is good!" It just so happens that we almost have the wine that the lady can drink in the garden, and now the degree in the store is not high, and the imported foreign wine, some of the beauties who come do not like to drink, if there is this bayberry wine, this problem can be solved. ”
"Brother Long, can you solve it!" Gu Jingyun urged, we can talk about the right thing.
"Of course! Who are you, Brother Long? Wang Fatzi patted his chest and promised, "Sister Xiaoyun, when the wine is brewed, you must sell it to me!" Brother Wang will never treat you badly in terms of price. ”
"Xiaoyun, what kind of little fat man are you looking for this kind of thing! What does he know about selling fruits? Don't spend the money and buy some fake wine. At this time, Master Yang suddenly interjected.
"Master Yang, you have wronged me." Wang Fatzi shouted innocently, he didn't do anything here, so he wronged him for buying fake wine.
"Xiaoyun, don't listen to him, listen to me." Master Yang didn't care about the fat man who shouted injustice, and said to Gu Jingyun to himself.
Gu Jingyun gave a helpless smile to Wang Fatzi, turned his head to Master Yang and said, "Master Yang, you say." ”
"Hey, Xiaoyun, let me tell you, I know a place that sells alcohol. Although this winery is not very famous, it is a time-honored brand that has cooperated with us for decades, the craftsmanship passed down from the ancestors, a recipe has been used for several generations, and the cooperation is a restaurant in the provincial capital for a few years, and now the steward is my friend for many years. He has good skills, but now that he is old, he has no heart to take care of the business, so he will not sell it unless he is introduced by an acquaintance, and I will not introduce him to ordinary people......" Master Yang gushed endlessly like a story.
Gu Guoyun was relieved when he heard this, even Master Yang respected it so much, the quality must not be bad.
After Master Yang finished speaking, he went back to the back yard, and after a while, he came back with a business card, and Gu Jingyun took it and saw that it was a business card, with only a name and a string of phone numbers on it.
Gu Kaiyang, 187xxxxxxxx.
Then Master Yang handed over the phone again, "Xiaoyun, you come and call me, I'm old and my eyes are not very good, and I can't see the keyboard." ”
Gu Jingyun took the phone, dialed the phone, and after a few beeps, an old man's angry voice sounded on the other end, "Hey, who?" ”
Master Yang took the phone neatly, and also shouted with full anger, "Old Gu, it's me Old Yang." ”
"It's you, Lao Yang, every time I've seen you for a long time, you can't open this drunk Yunxuan, where are you going to get rich!"
"I haven't gone anywhere, I'm retired, and now I'm recuperating in the countryside!"
"Country? The countryside is good, the air is fresh, unlike me, where the house smells of alcohol. ”
Master Yang laughed twice, "You old drunkard still dislikes the smell of wine, I see, you can't wait to get into the wine!" ”
"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, just say, what's the matter with me?"
"What else can you do with your old drunkard, of course it's to buy wine!"
"How much?" The old man asked.
"Tell me first, what is the price of your wine there?" Master Yang said that he is also a veteran of buying wine, and he has points in his heart about what kind of price can buy good wine.
"Pure sorghum wine, forty-one catties."
Gu Guoyun didn't study liquor, and he didn't know whether the price was suitable or not, so he could only count on Master Yang to give him ideas.
Master Yang nodded slightly to her, indicating that the price was appropriate.
Lao Gu is not like other unscrupulous wineries, he said that he uses good grain, and that must be good grain.
"Okay, old Gu, it's a conscience price."
"You pat my ass less, and tell me straight, how much?"
Master Yang didn't know this, he looked up at Gu Jingyun.
Gu Jingyun thought about it, to be honest, she didn't know how much liquor she needed to make bayberry wine, but ......
"Master Yang, let's ask for a thousand catties first, it's not enough for us to buy it again, okay?" Gu Jingyun hesitated, very uncertain.
Master Yang nodded in agreement, and said to the old man on the other end of the phone, "I want a thousand catties first, this time I will give me a valued junior, but don't give me a shortage of catties or two!" If you don't send it to me directly, I'll treat you to dinner when the time comes. ”
"I'm old and don't want to move." An old, slow voice came from the other end of the line.
"Alright, old drunkard, what's the point of being in your cellar all day! Come to me, and I'll take you around and blow the sea breeze. Master Yang said.
"Yes, Lao Yang, take me to blow the sea breeze, it seems that you are having a very moist life this day!" The old man on the other end of the phone said.
"So, let you come, that's it, you come with the wine. Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, hang up. ”
