Although Yu Wenze didn't stay in the county for long, Yu Wenze, as the owner of the territory, still knew him by people with a face here.

When they found out that Yu Wenze was here, they got up one after another and came to meet Yu Wenze.

Originally, he came out to play, Yu Wenze waved his hand and let them all take care of themselves, and everyone was not disturbed by it, and returned to their seats one after another.

Behind the open space where they were sitting, there was also a high platform, on which there was a big drum and red silk flowers, which looked festive.

Because the place where Zhang Xiaoxue sat was relatively empty, and there was no one in front of them to block their vision, the scenery in front of them was exhaustive.

On the banks of the river, there are a number of narrow long wooden boats, each with a drum on the bow and rows of paddle on both sides, and the contestants have not yet boarded the boat, but they are all warming up next to them, and their clothes are wearing different color numbers.

According to the people next to me, most of the contestants in these competitions are villagers from the villages around the county town, and they are all young and middle-aged, all of whom are energetic and energetic.

The main contest began to speak on stage and announced the start.

Zhang Xiaoxue thought that the contestants were going to board the boat, but it turned out that they still had to hold a sacrificial ceremony first, lit incense and candles, and burned paper money to offer chickens, rice, meat, fruits and zongzi.

The atmosphere was very solemn during the sacrifice, and the crowd of onlookers also changed from noisy to quiet, and the old people who offered incense came forward to pray for a good harvest in agriculture, good weather and rain, evil spirits, disasters and disasters, good luck, and finally blessed the safety of rowing.

Then the contestants start the stool boat.

The boats are about 20 meters long and 1 meter wide, and there are 38 contestants on each boat, with an elderly person as the drummer.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

A strong man on the high platform banged the drum and announced the start of the game.

The sound of the drums was deafening, and the banks of the river suddenly boiled, and at the sound of the drums, the contestants paddled forward according to the beat of the drums.

"Ho! ho! ho......"

The contestants were still very rhythmic, shouting slogans to the beat of the drums.

The competition was fierce, with the river being slapped with oars and onlookers shouting on the shore, cheering and cheering for their familiar fleet.

In the end, the No. 6 boat won the first place, and their prize was a jar of wine and a string of zongzi per person, and this string of zongzi was about a dozen.

The contestants who got the reward each held a jar of wine and carried a string of zongzi, although the clothes on their bodies were wet during the competition, these men didn't care, and their faces were full of cheerful smiles.

The contestants who did not win the first place, and they were not empty-handed, they also got a string of zongzi each, and their expressions were not frustrated, but they were also very happy to carry their strings of zongzi.

After the rowing competition, the people did not disperse, because the main race did not go down after handing out the prizes, but announced that they would move on to the next show.

This time, some women came forward with a smile, because this competition is a zongzi making competition.

The competition field was moved to the side of the open space, and the people watching the rowing competition automatically and spontaneously vacated a space.

The boys brought dozens of wooden pots, which were already soaked glutinous rice, and then zongye leaves.

Then a small stool was placed on each side of the tub, and it seemed that the players were sitting on it.

Zhang Xiaoxue can also make zongzi, in such a lively atmosphere, she was a little eager to participate in the competition, so she whispered to Lin Baozhu, who was sitting next to her, about her thoughts.

Lin Baozhu smiled and pointed to the women who came forward.

"Have you seen those women, there are so many of them who will grab a few limited seats here later, who can grab them, who can become a contestant, are you interested in competing with them?"

Well, that's the way it was, but there's a limit to the number of contestants.

No wonder those women are crowding and shouting, they all want to move forward, this is to seize the opportunity.

Look at the hairstyles of those women, they are all married hairstyles, and the young girls don't even have any, probably because the unmarried women are thin-skinned and embarrassed to go to the front to squeeze it.

Hey, since that's the case, forget it, she's still sitting here and watching other people's games.

Zhang Xiaoxue counted the number of wooden basins placed in the open space, a total of fifty wooden basins, and when the host announced that the contestants had stepped forward, a group of women rushed to sit on the bench.

For a while, there was some chaos in the field, and some of the wooden basins were almost kicked down by the woman who grabbed the bench, but fortunately, there was no danger, and the glutinous rice in the wooden basin was still safely in it, and it was not spilled.

Those who grabbed the stool to sit became the contestants, with a happy expression, while those women who moved slower and did not grab the stool to sit on could only shake their heads and leave the venue regretfully.

When the scene is basically settled, there are finally a hundred women sitting at both ends of the tub, and when the host announces the start, they will start the competition to make zongzi.

The host stood on the high platform and began to announce the rules of the competition: two people in a group, a quarter of an hour, to see who packs more, and does not sprinkle rice, but also looks beautiful, and also said the prize of the competition.

In addition to the rice dumplings, the woman who won the first place could also be rewarded with a silk horse, and a woman who looked like a maid carried the silk to the table placed on the high platform.

The women in the competition below all looked up at the shining silk on the table, and their eyes were full of imperative gaze, and each of them was very confident in their skills and speed in making zongzi.

One of them took a short stick of incense and lit it, and the host announced the start.

The zongzi making competition officially began, and the group of women below began to wrap zongzi quickly.

Their hands are very dexterous, and the triangular zongzi are quickly completed in their hands.

Of course, some of them made mistakes due to nervousness, and some of them were not tightly wrapped and scattered, so they had to rework, and their results were suddenly pulled away by others.

After the incense was burned, the host announced the end, and the women who bowed their heads to wrap the zongzi began to check the number of zongzi wrapped by the people next to them.

A few judges went to check, and the number of zongzi made by the women below was counted, and then the first place was judged, which was a woman in her 30s.

The woman happily went to the stage and received her reward, holding the smooth and shiny silk with a happy smile on her face.

The rest of the women who participated in the competition, each of them also got a string of zongzi, and also got a small sachet, although they did not get the ranking, but they also got prizes, so the women were still very happy.
