Today is the day of worship of the White Dragon?

After Chen Yufei heard this, he didn't seem to react. I saw Wu Dong patting him on the shoulder and continued: "Do you know why people eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival? ”

"In memory of Qu Yuan."

"That's right, legend has it that Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River, and people were afraid that his body would be eaten by fish, so they wrapped glutinous rice with dumpling leaves and put it into the water every year when Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, so that they thought that those fish and shrimp would not eat Qu Yuan's body."

This legend is the first time Chen Yufei has heard of it.

Eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival seems to have been like this for so many years.

Many people only know to commemorate Qu Yuan, but they don't know such an allusion, and now it sounds really moving.

It's just that Chen Yufei doesn't know what the custom of eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival has to do with the worship day of the white dragon.

Wu Dong wanted to smoke another cigarette, but when he opened the cigarette case, he found that there was no one.

After Chen Yufei heard this, he smiled and said:

"People can really make excuses for eating and drinking, they were originally greedy, and they had to pull historical figures as the background, but this is very good, and eating something also seems to be heartfelt."

"Who's to say it isn't." Wu Dong nodded: "The people in this village, in order to be grateful to the white dragon, will gather at the edge of the waterhole on the day of the offering day to offer a kind of chowder. ”

"Chowder?"

When Chen Yufei heard this, he hurriedly asked what it was.

Wu Dong said: "Actually, it's just a pot of stew. A big pot, there are all kinds of dishes in it, with soy sauce stuffed, everyone eats together, hot, not only eat the food, but also increase the feelings. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yufei felt that this thing was quite similar to Yangcheng's "side stove".

It's just that the side stove is to cook a pot of soup with meat and vegetables first, and eat the vegetables at the same time, and this "chowder dish" is a big pot to stew together.

Food is often like this, it looks similar, the preparation method is different, and the taste is very different.

"The villagers under the White Dragon Pond, according to custom, will come to the White Dragon Pond on the waterside to worship the White Dragon on this day every year, but now they don't bring anything to eat, this day has become a festival, they will go to find a place to eat a chowder after worshipping the White Dragon. It not only satisfies the appetite, but also enhances the relationship. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yufei seemed to understand something.

Wu Dong saw that Chen Yufei was already thinking, and patted Chen Yufei's arm again: "Peers, think about what to do today, I still have something to do, let's go first." ”

After speaking, Wu Dong left.

Chowder?

At this moment, Chen Yufei's mind was full of this thing.

When he was a child, through Wu Dong's description, Chen Yufei remembered that he seemed to have eaten this thing.

When he was very young, there was an uncle in the neighbor's house who came from the central region and once cooked a big pot dish at home. At that time, Chen Yufei remembered very well that the uncle had built a large pot stove in the open space downstairs.

The pot was about a meter in diameter.

Chen Yufei, who was less than one meter tall at the time, had no problem taking a hot bath in it.

When I was a child, it was different from now, the neighborhood was united, and the relationship was relatively harmonious.

Every family has something to eat, they all send each other a little to eat, this uncle is also a hospitable person, yesterday there was a family here full moon house, and the neighbors were invited to dinner.

The uncle was also very happy to eat the wine, and said that he would pay for the whole building to eat a hometown meal today.

So, early this morning, the uncle went to the farmers' market to buy a lot of vegetables and came back.

There are vegetables and meat, a big pile.

Several people came to help pick and chop vegetables, and after a busy morning, four or five large pots were full.

There are many meats and vegetables.

There are chicken legs, bacon, pork belly and pork tongue and the like, and there are many varieties of cauliflower, potatoes, and cabbage.

He didn't know what the uncle was going to do, and the neighbors in the residential building ate it.

I just think it's fun for everyone to get together and work together.

The uncle also gave Chen Yufei a task to add firewood to the pot stove.

Chen Yufei squatted on the ground, adding wood to it one by one, his smiling face was red from the fire, and above him, the uncle was adding green onions, ginger and garlic to the red-hot rapeseed oil.

After the oil pot was fragrant, the uncle put the meat and vegetables into the pot and exploded.

The rich fragrance is spread everywhere.

Many people poked their heads out of the balcony and swallowed as they looked at what was being cooked in the cauldron downstairs.

Uncle added soy sauce, rock sugar, some spices and soybean paste to the fried meat dishes, and the whole pot suddenly boiled, and the rich fragrance attracted everyone from all directions.

Uncle said to everyone:

"At noon today, you all don't cook, I'll make a big stew for everyone!"

Everyone was happy to hear this.

They asked the uncle if he still needed help? The uncle shook his head and said that you can help me set the dining table.

Chen Yufei was still adding firewood to the stove, and the rich fragrance caused the gluttonous worms in his stomach to come out, and Chen Yufei looked up and asked the uncle how long it would take to eat.

The uncle smiled: "Hungry, be patient, soon." ”

After speaking, the uncle poured half a pot of water into the pot, and he lowered his head and said to Chen Yufei: "Add a little more fire, and I can add vegetables when it boils." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yufei was very happy.

He sped up the delivery of firewood, and soon, the water was boiling.

The uncle added all the picked vegetarian dishes, and then closed the lid of the pot, Chen Yufei was still adding firewood, and the delicious food continued to emerge from the gap between the lid and the side of the pot.

The scent spread throughout the community.

At noon that day, the residents sat around with a large basin on each table.

The pot is full of risotto.

It looks ordinary, but it is really fragrant when eaten.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank freely.

It was quite a lively scene.

At that time, Chen Yufei ate a big bowl, and his favorite thing to eat was the soft and glutinous eggplant, which melted as soon as he took a sip, which was quite delicious.

The large pots full of stewed vegetables were quickly eaten by everyone.

The uncle took the soup and cooked some vegetarian dishes for everyone to eat, and it was not until everyone was satisfied that the uncle ended the banquet.

Later, the uncle left, and the big pot of stewed vegetables left a deep imprint in Chen Yufei's mind.

When the family is together, they occasionally do this for a meal.

When he heard that the villagers wanted to eat this kind of chowder after worshiping the white dragon, Chen Yufei suddenly thought of a way to win today......
