Chapter 47: Dragon Boat
Mu Jun was very surprised when he saw that the zongzi was wrapped out in Mu Chen's hand.
"Sister, I'll give it a try."
Mu Jun was curious, and also picked up the bamboo leaves, wanting to try to wrap one or two zongzi, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, Mu Jun wrapped two in a row, but he barely wrapped the glutinous rice.
The appearance is still very indescribable, and Mu Chen laughed when he saw it.
"Look, it's going to be packed like this."
Mu Chen demonstrated Mu Jun again, and Mu Jun wrapped it up clumsily.
……
Time flies, and the glutinous rice on the bubble is quickly half wrapped by the two.
"Jun'er, don't wrap it anymore, let's steam the zongzi first, and we'll wrap the salty zongzi after steaming."
Mu Chen looked at the twenty or so zongzi in the basin, more than twenty, which was enough, and the two people in the sweet family didn't like to eat it, and they wanted to pack less.
"Yes, sister."
Mu Jun's zongzi at this time was already about to keep up with Mu Chen's level, and children were learning everything quickly.
Putting down the bamboo leaves in his hand, Mu Jun clapped his hands.
Mu Chen went to the kitchen to vacate the steamer, and the zongzi were placed in the steamer one by one, very neatly.
Lifting the pot to the fire and adding water, Mu Chen added a handful of firewood to the fire.
"Jun'er, you come to see the fire, and I'll wrap the remaining salty zongzi."
Mu Chen looked at Mu Jun, watching the fire was an easy job.
"Sister, then I'll go."
Mu Jun went to the bedroom, took a book, and then went to the fire.
After Mu Jun left, Mu Chen quickly wrapped the salty zongzi again.
After Mu Jun's steamed zongzi came out of the pot, Mu Chen steamed the salty zongzi again.
The dinner of the sister and brother is sweet zongzi, and when the salty zongzi comes out of the pot, it is already dark.
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Mu Chen and Mu Jun got up early, coinciding with the Dragon Boat Festival, and it had rained heavily a few days ago, so today's dragon boat race was just right.
Mu Chen and Mu Jun held zongzi in their hands, and waited in the courtyard for Uncle Hu's ox cart to come.
"Chen girl, let's go."
Mu Chen swallowed the last zongzi in his hand, and heard Aunt Hua's voice.
"Aunt Hua, Jun'er and I will come over soon."
Mu Chen looked at Mu Jun, who was stuffing zongzi into his mouth, and signaled to hurry up.
Then he went into the house and changed into a dress that he had never worn before.
When he came out, the zongzi in Mu Jun's hand was gone.
"Jun'er, let's take a few more zongzi, we are going to play in the town, just pad your stomach, and my sister will take you to a big meal at noon."
Mu Chen entered the kitchen and took out Mu Jun's portion of zongzi.
"Thank you, sister."
Mu Jun took the zongzi, Mu Chen opened the door and went out first.
Walking out of the road, the sister and brother arrived on the main road, Uncle Hu's ox cart stopped on the road, and Aunt Hua's family sat on the ox cart.
"Chen girl, come up, this is a new dress!"
Aunt Hua was as enthusiastic as ever, and reached out to pull Mu Chen into the ox cart.
"Jun'er, come up, let's sit in the back."
Mu Chen turned around and pulled Mu Jun again, and Mu Jun obediently put his hand on Mu Chen's hand.
"Sister Chen, you're here."
Mu Dazhuang was very happy when he saw that Mu Chen was going to sit over.
"Jun'er sits with you, and sits next to Jun'er when you get up."
Mu Chen made way for Mu Jun, but Mu Jun didn't speak, and sat next to Mu Dazhuang obediently.
"Da Zhuang, come and try a zongzi I made."
Mu Chen tore off the zongzi he was carrying in his hand and handed one to Mu Dazhuang.
"Sister Chen, you're so nice."
Mu Dazhuang took the zongzi, tore open the bamboo leaves on the outside of the zongzi, and took a bite of the zongzi.
"Sister Chen, what you make is better than what my mother makes."
Mu Dazhuang ate with a satisfied face.
"Lao Hu, I'm driving the ox cart."
Murray really doesn't want to see his son like this, it's too embarrassing, give some food and just say all kinds of good things and don't want copper.
"If you like it."
Mu Chen was about to touch Mu Dazhuang's head, and Mu Jun's voice came.
"Sister, I want to eat zongzi."
Mu Jun saw Mu Chen's clothes wanting to touch Mu Dazhuang's head, and quickly said that he wanted to eat zongzi, so that his sister didn't want to touch Mu Dazhuang's head.
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Mu Chen ripped off another string of zongzi in his hand and handed it to Mu Jun, who took it and didn't rush to eat.
"Aunt Hua, Uncle Lei, Uncle Hu, do you eat zongzi?"
Mu Chen saw that these two people had zongzi, so it was better for everyone to eat together, so that it would be lively.
"Chen girl, we won't eat it, and I'll keep you to eat slowly."
The three voices came over in unison, and Mu Chen almost wanted to say a great tacit understanding.
"You eat more than one, eat one, I have it here."
Mu Chen doesn't rely on it, everyone shares things, and I feel that it will taste a little more fragrant.
In the end, it is easy to say that everyone on the ox cart has a rice dumpling.
After eating the zongzi, we chatted again, and the time slipped away quickly and arrived in town.
The group got off the ox cart, stepped on the somewhat damp bluestone slabs, and walked towards the place where the dragon boat was compared.
Far away, Mu Chen heard a group of people shouting.
"Chen girl, this year's dragon boat race is more lively than before."
Aunt Hua looked at today's posture and walked fast, not fast and not in a good position.
As soon as Aunt Hua took the lead, she walked fast, Mu Chen also walked fast, and the group walked fast.
When I arrived at the river of the race, there were already a lot of people by the river.
The river in the town is very wide, there is an alley on both sides, next to the alley is a restaurant, Gui Keju is a restaurant located by the river, but in the end it is a large amount of wine, the location is very special, on the side of a big bridge, from a distance, it is directly a landmark building.
"Sister, I saw that I had returned to the guest house."
When Mu Jun rarely saw so many people, the whole person was excited, and pointed to Mu Chen and said that he saw Guikeju.
"I saw it too."
Mu Chen's eyes were not blind, so he naturally saw that he had returned to the guest house.
"The dragon boat race is about to start, everyone is ready, and the drum is ready."
At this time, the dragon boats in the town were lined up, and the dragon boats were lined up one by one.
The dragon's head is mighty, the dragon's body is golden and red, and the dragon's eyes are big black, which is simply the finishing touch.
The closest to the dragon's head is the one that beats the drum, a red lacquered sheepskin drum with a red cloth tied to each side, and the drum beater holds a drum hammer in his hand.
In addition to the drums, there are also people holding oars on the dragon boat, and there are twelve people holding oars on the boat, which means that the moon is red.
"Sister, they are so strong, I will be as strong as them in the future."
Mu Jun pointed to a muscular man with an oar in his bare hand with a look of envy.
"Jun'er, you must not look like that in the future."
Mu Chen glanced at that person, he had a lot of muscles, and he looked good, but unfortunately it was not her thing.
