Chapter 480: Zongzi Eating Competition
Luo Qiqi snorted arrogantly, picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth, blew it, took a sip, and smacked it, "Well, it's not bad." ”
After half an hour's effort, Shen Yizhi created a big meal, directly moved the Eight Immortals table in the house outside, and served all kinds of delicacies to the table.
Seeing the purple crab that was the size of a basin in the middle, Luo Qi was shocked, "This crab is so big!" ”
Shen Yizhi introduced with a smile: "This is the king crab I brought back from Qiandao Lake, it is full of fat and cream, fragrant and smooth, but delicious!" ”
Luo Qiqi was so salivating by her that she couldn't help but make a move.
Shen Yizhi: "Master, don't worry, Elder Cui hasn't arrived yet." ”
She had already asked Kunsan to invite her.
When he left before, Cui Mi asked the old village chief to help him supervise the construction of the house, the house had already been built, and the furniture and furnishings in it were all done, Shen Yizhi also specially planted a lot of exotic flowers and plants in it, and also set up a dust shelter array, a constant temperature array and other formations to ensure that the house was clean and refreshing.
Sure enough, as soon as Cui Mi stepped into the house, he immediately liked it, and after turning back and forth, he was even more satisfied.
It's been a day of packing up the new home.
Hearing Kun San come and call him to eat, when a book that was about to be put on the bookshelf was put down, he clapped his hands and walked out, "Let's go." ”
didn't even bring the door, and went to the Shen family with neat legs.
Kunsan, who was left behind, couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, and quickly followed.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard of the Shen family, Cui Mi smelled a strong fragrance, which made his five internal organs temple immediately stir.
Luo Qiqi beckoned to him: "I'm waiting for you, hurry up and sit down." ”
Cui Mi walked towards the sink: "I'll wash my hands and come." ”
The two old men sat on the head, Shen Yizhi and the family of four sat next to each other, Kun San and Qianwu sat down, eight people at a table, facing the delicious food on the table, starting!
After eating, when I looked up, the sky was already full of stars.
After the table full of empty plates and bowls was cleaned up, the table was carried in, and several adults lay down comfortably on the chaise longue, blowing the night breeze, chatting casually in the courtyard with a dark fragrance, and the atmosphere was relaxed and leisurely.
The two little children are on their own, exploring in a hidden little corner.
Early the next morning, Xiao San handed in the activity planning book for the Dragon Boat Festival.
After Shen Yizhi looked at it, he gave full affirmation and praise, "Yes, that's it, but the reward amount of this dragon boat race can be adjusted appropriately." ”
In the first place, she changed it to a reward of 999 taels of silver, and on the basis of "one one-star ticket for Mingyue Villa and one two-fold coupon for Mingyue Restaurant", she added a Dragon Boat Festival gift.
The second place will be rewarded with 888 taels, one coupon and one Boxing Gift.
The third place will be rewarded with 666 taels and a botkai.
As for the Zongzi Eating Competition, there is no threshold, everyone can participate, according to the number of Zongzi eaten to judge the ranking, the first place is rewarded with a gold bowl, the second place is a silver bowl, the third place is a bronze bowl, each has a gift gift.
There is nothing technical about this competition, and for many people, eating zongzi with an open belly is an attractive benefit in itself, so the reward should be lower.
Shen Yizhi mentioned to Xiao San that the academy was going to hold a Keju competition, and asked him to add the details of the event.
Xiao San nodded, and it didn't take long for him to hand in a perfect event planning plan.
"Okay, just do it. You inform Xia Ming that security work will be done on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. ”
If Xiao San is equivalent to the actual manager of the entire Moqing City, then Xia Ming is the captain of the security team, the two of them are one scholar and one martial artist, and they only manage the entire Moqing City in an orderly manner, making it very easy for her to be the shopkeeper.
But then, she was busy for several days.
Busy preparing a large number of zongzi to be used in the zongzi competition.
She hired a group of hard-working women in the village, led by Aunt Li, to help her, and at the same time taught more than a dozen puppets in the space to work overtime.
The wrapped zongzi are steamed directly with Chang Ran Ding, and it is not a problem to steam a large bucket at one time.
The kind of bucket that is as big as a bath barrel.
After steaming, it is put into a storage bag, one flavor is packed, the sweet ones are candied fruit dumplings, bean paste dumplings, red date dumplings, etc., and the salty ones are ham dumplings, egg yolk dumplings, bacon dumplings...... There are always twenty or thirty kinds.
That's enough, right?
Shen Yizhi thought to himself.
If it's not enough, then let the puppets in the space be wrapped up, anyway, they are very fast, and the work efficiency is really good.
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen Yizhi also made a lot of incense sticks.
Mix several spices such as realgar, lily, cypress, and Huoxiang that are ground into powder, add clear and sweet spring water, and add a few drops of spiritual spring and medicinal spring to it, knead the spices into a ball like kneading flour, and then let it ferment naturally for a period of time, and then put it into Weng Zhong and heat it with steaming method, so that the taste of various medicinal fragrances is neutralized together.
After steaming for about four hours, you can take out the incense ball, press the incense into threads one by one, and then dry it in the shade and try one piece.
If the incense burns and the smoke rises straight up and does not drift around, then it means that the incense is ready.
Shen Yizhi named the incense "heavy five incense", which means the incense that is specially burned on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.
This is a kind of medicinal fragrance, after igniting the breath, it has the effect of repelling insects and removing poisons, calming the nerves, and inhaling into the body can detoxify and drive away diseases.
Heavy spices are one of the most important rituals she prepares.
Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen Yizhi asked Kun San and Qianwu to send the festival gifts to the families they knew well, as well as the people in the village.
In addition to the five spices, there is also a box of rice dumplings, a letter of pastries and a basket of fresh fruits.
The news that Moqing City is going to hold a zongzi eating competition, a dragon boat race and a juju race has long spread throughout the villages and towns within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the city is very lively early in the morning.
The dragon boat race starts at 9 a.m., the Keju race starts at 3 p.m., and the rice dumpling race is held all day.
Needless to say, the venue of the dragon boat race is on Tianzhou Lake, and temporary stands have been set up by the lake to facilitate people to watch the race.
The Kemari race is located on the playground of the academy, and there are rows of seats arranged around it.
As for the Zongzi Eating Competition, several platforms were set up in various parts of the city as strongholds.
In the big wooden barrel on the platform, the zongzi are piled up like a mountain, and they are all sharp. And there are five of them on the table with such large wooden barrels.
The people who signed up for the contest were already eating zongzi around the wooden barrel.
A red string is tied to each rice dumpling, and the contestants have to hand over the red string to the counting judge.
In addition, in order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the competition, several photographic stones were placed on each stage to record the whole situation on the stage.
