Chapter 173: Join in the fun

Finalized the matter, Gao Shaoming breathed a sigh of relief, the matter that had plagued him all night last night was finally resolved, and after the boulder that was pressing on his heart was removed, he was inexplicably looking at the sunshine above his head and was a little happy.

"Let's eat, after eating, let's go to the temple to see the Dragon Boat Festival." Hao Hao still chose a comfortable position, slightly looking up at Tian Runqiu, whose face was still very poor, some time ago she was a fair-skinned and beautiful Bai Fumei, who was destroyed by morning sickness in less than a month, and it was really embarrassing to look at.

Speaking of the Dragon Boat Festival, in the 5,000-year history of Chinese development, the origin of zongzi can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to records, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the corn was wrapped in corn with mushroom leaves (callus white leaves) into a cow's horn shape, which was called "horn millet"; Rice packed in a bamboo tube is sealed and baked, called "tube dumplings". At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the millet was soaked in grass and wood ash water, because the water contained alkali, the millet was wrapped in mushroom leaves into a quadrangular shape, cooked, and became a Guangdong alkaline water dumpling.

In the Jin Dynasty, zongzi was officially designated as the food of the Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, in addition to glutinous rice, the raw materials for wrapping zongzi are also added with traditional Chinese medicine nootropic kernels, and the cooked zongzi is called "nootropic zongzi". The "Yueyang Wind and Soil Records" recorded in the "Yueyang Wind and Soil" around the time: "It is customary to wrap millet with mushroom leaves,...... Boiled, cooked together, eaten from May 5 to the summer solstice, a dumpling, a millet. "During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, miscellaneous rice dumplings appeared. The rice is adulterated with poultry and animal meat, chestnuts, red dates, red beans, etc., and the varieties increase. Zongzi is also used as a gift for socializing.

In the Tang Dynasty, the rice used for zongzi was "white as jade", and its shape appeared conical and diamond-shaped. In Japanese literature, it is recorded that there are "Datang zongzi". In the Song Dynasty, there were already "candied dumplings", that is, fruits into the dumplings. The poet Su Dongpo has the verse "When I see bayberry in the zongzi". At this time, there were also advertisements made of stacked pavilions, wooden carts, cattle and horses with zongzi, indicating that it was very fashionable to eat zongzi in the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the wrapping material of zongzi has changed from mushroom leaves to hoop leaves, and later there were zongzi wrapped in reed leaves, and the additional materials have appeared bean paste, pork, pine nut kernels, jujubes, walnuts and so on, and the varieties are more colorful.

Until today, at the beginning of May every year, the Chinese people have to soak glutinous rice, wash zongzi leaves, and wrap zongzi, and their colors and varieties are more varied. From the perspective of fillings, Beijing jujube dumplings with many small jujubes in the north; In the south, there are a variety of fillings such as bean paste, fresh meat, ham, egg yolk, etc., among which Zhejiang Jiaxing zongzi is the representative. The custom of eating zongzi has been prevalent in China for thousands of years, and has spread to Korea, Japan and Southeast Asian countries.

However, it is a little different now, after all, it is a parallel time and space, and they have a lot of procedures for the Dragon Boat Festival, if they don't prepare in advance, Hao Hao won't be able to do the things in the future.

"Okay." Tian Runqiu agreed a little weakly, because she hadn't eaten much recently, her whole person was undernourished, and she walked tremblingly.

Since he was going to have something to eat, Tian Runsheng went back to the kitchen again, and came out with a hearty breakfast, a glass of white hot milk, a huge homemade yogurt packet and a plate of red strawberries, which was made especially for Tian Runqiu, in order to reduce the number of her morning sickness.

Just when everyone was eating, a person came, this person is familiar to everyone, it is Xu Hai, he was wearing a jacket today, his hair was a little messy, and he was driving Gao Shaoan's four-wheeled bicycle when he came.

"Xu Hai?" Hao Hao turned his head to look at the courtyard boredly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Hai who was embarrassed, his jacket was a little wrinkled, his hair was casually on his forehead, his black hair was playfully erect, and his eyes were red.

"I'll return the car." Xu Hai smiled shyly, his fair face flushed, and Hao Hao wanted to laugh a little when he saw it.

"Whose car did you return, did you borrow it?" Hao Hao got up with his hands as he spoke, and walked towards Xu Hai who was standing at the door step by step.

"I met Gao Shaoan from your village this morning, he came out of the hospital and came directly to the hotel to find me, saying that there was someone in your village who was in the hospital, and he had to help, and the car said that you need it, let me send it back." Xu Hai and Hao Hao stood in the same direction, but because she was tall, she was afraid that she would look up and look hard, so she went down a step intimately, and then she was on a par with Hao Hao, and the two talked.

"I know, you're blown by the wind, look at what a handsome guy has been blown into, but he's still handsome." Hao Hao made a joke by the way.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Xu Hai suddenly turned red from his ears to his face, his eyes dodged slightly, and it was too foul to fall into Hao Hao's eyes with such a shy appearance.

Hao Hao saw Xu Hai for the first time in a trance, he was tightly wrapped, revealing a pair of bright eyes, gentle and warm when speaking, she never thought that the two would meet, sure enough, fate is impermanent, the world is unpredictable, who knows that now they have become confidants and friends.

"I haven't eaten, come in and have some breakfast, and I'll take you to the temple in Xiahe Village in a while, don't you know that the old master has put in a lot of effort at the beginning of this year." Hao Hao inadvertently touched Xu Hai's gentle and affectionate eyes again, she came back to her senses coldly, and then glanced at the few people in the flower pavilion behind her, and said with a smile.

"Hmm." Xu Hai smiled back.

With Xu Hai joining, there is one more breakfast team.

After breakfast, a group of five people went along the trail to the temple. Chinese rural people like to build temples in the village, and it is a separate site, a separate high-rise temple, which looks really beautiful and exquisite from the outside.

Before I got closer, I saw a mountain of people in the distance, the breeze blowing, the voices of people boiling, and the sun was dazzling. The sound of joyful laughter drifted in all directions with the wind, even muffling the footsteps of people walking.

Tian Runsheng walked beside Hao Hao, and his slender hand rubbed Hao Hao's cheek, wiping away the dense beads of sweat oozing from her face: "Can you still go?" ”

Hao Hao was in good spirits, but Tian Runqiu's whole body trembled, and he slowly raised his sloppy gaze. The corners of the eyes are smooth, the complexion is very white, the cheeks are very stiff and weak because of morning sickness, and the golden sunlight is reflected on the forehead and side cheeks.

The contours of her eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful and clear, the tips of her eyes are deep and narrow, and her eyes are black and white, but at this moment they are scattered and pitiful, and a feeling of embarrassment and weakness seeps out from the bottom of her heart.

"I can go." Hao Hao smiled, two pear vortices appeared on his white and smooth cheeks because of the smile, and the sweet smile made Tian Runsheng's heart shake.

"What about you, Runqiu?" Tian Runsheng looked at the sweat beads on his forehead behind him, and he was worried.

"It's just a little dizzy." Tian Runqiu smiled weakly.

"Why don't you sit here for a while, and then you'll leave." Gao Shaoming looked at the stone bench erected on the side of the road, the stone bench was polished smooth and without edges and corners, and it would not be very cold after sitting down, so under their concerned gaze, Tian Runqiu sat down, stretched his limbs lazily, and his slender swan neck shone with porcelain white light, if he skimmed off his weak expression, it would look even better. Sitting on a stone bench, which was under a tree, half of the light was blocked, and half of her body was in the mottled shadows under the tree.

"Let's go to join in the fun first, I haven't been to the temple for a long time, and I haven't been there for the Chinese New Year this year." Hao Hao looked at Tian Runqiu's lazy sheep, she felt a little tired, in order to make herself full of energy, she cheered up and walked up the steep slope step by step.

"Okay, you sit down first, let's take a look at the temple, and if there's something fun, I'll call you up there."

"Hmm." Tian Runqiu softened into a mess of mud, and the whole person leaned on Gao Shaoming's arms, his hands didn't bother to hold his waist, but drooped on his waist.

"Slow down." Xu Hai saw Hao Hao running out happily, afraid that she would fall, so he stopped her in front of Tian Runsheng.

"Okay." Hao Hao turned his head and smiled slightly, and suddenly everything was pale.

Xu Hai was amazed again.

"Slow down." Tian Run stiffly inserted between the two, and when he helped Hao Hao, he didn't forget to remind him gently.

This time, Hao Hao finally figured out the subtle feelings between them, and it turned out that this was a rivalry between rivals.

"Rivals?" Hao Hao suddenly had an idea that made her feel a little ridiculous, and she couldn't help but shudder, she never dared to do this.

Shake off the thoughts you shouldn't have and move on.

finally arrived at the open space in front of the temple, and before she could gain a firm foothold, she saw the big and small black girls coming towards her, and she hid behind Tian Runsheng from afar.

"What is this?" Xu Hai looked at the crowd of people, a little curious, and his eyes lit up for a while.

"It's about to be the Dragon Boat Festival, the old man asked people to prepare some things in advance, and I made a little suggestion in advance, let them add a fun bonfire, you see the dry firewood in the open space in front of the temple and those thorny wood are used to make a bonfire. And there is also a zongzi festival on the day, so you must come. Hao Hao hid behind Tian Runsheng, quietly took his hand, rubbed it a little bit, but his eyes looked at Xu Hai, and he felt a little sorry for this handsome young man, it would be nice if he had a partner.

"I will definitely come, and I will ask Master Zhang and them to make some zongzi at that time, as for zongzi, do you have any good suggestions?" Xu Hai looked at Hao Hao gently and lovingly, although Tian Runsheng's presence was really a bit of an eyesore, but he had to admit that Tian Runsheng was really outstanding, and he had a temperament that he couldn't match, such as the unique fortitude of a soldier, which could be clearly seen from his eyes.

"I have an idea, wrap some red bean meat dumplings, egg yolk dumplings, crystal dumplings, and date dumplings, as well as our uncommon fruit dumplings, as long as we can think of it, we will try, and trouble Master Zhang to make a super large zongzi for us, with all kinds of dried fruits on the bread, you don't have to worry about these, I will provide the filling." Hao Hao still remembers the various zongzi in the modern supermarket, and now that she has such conditions, she naturally has to do more new tricks, although there are not many of them, but the victory is a good omen, so she will do her best, and at the same time, let Gao Shaoming and others broadcast this grand Dragon Boat Festival banquet live.

"Okay, I haven't eaten any of what you said, it will taste good." Xu Hai swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and asked a little embarrassed.

"Rest assured, you're satisfied." Hao Hao smiled mysteriously, looking forward to this grand and grand Dragon Boat Festival feast.

"Okay." Xu Hai continued to smile.
