Chapter 116: Small Talk

Qu has sunk to death, and the Chu people are mourning.

How can I slander and slander, but I want to be a dragon in vain.

did not hate before his death, but chased after him.

Yuanxiang Bitan water, should be self-illuminated thousand peaks.

Speaking of the Dragon Boat Festival, this "Fifth Day of the Fifth Day of May" is the first Dragon Boat Festival poem that appeared in Jiang Han's mind.

Of course, she only has such a poem related to the Dragon Boat Festival in her mind, and it is not a very festive poem.

can remember it, I was really shocked by the word "death" in its first sentence - how can you write a festival and use death at the beginning?

Therefore, she can only remember the "bright moonlight in front of the bed" and "spring sleep is not aware", and she actually remembers such a poem that she has not seen in textbooks, which also proves what her modern father often says: "Only by breaking the routine can you be remembered".

The Dragon Boat Festival uses zongzi and dragon boats to commemorate Qu Yuan, but May is also a season when poisonous insects are infested and the evil spirit is vigorous, therefore, in addition to zongzi and dragon boats, the Dragon Boat Festival also has to hang incense bags, insert calamus, drink realgar wine, take medicinal baths and other similar customs in various places.

However, in the final analysis, all these events are still the most lively and anticipated by dragon boat racing.

"Yueya, are you ready? Can you go? Liu Dakang's urging voice sounded outside the door.

Originally, Jiang Han thought that the day of the festival should be a busy day for the teahouse, and it would definitely be very difficult to ask the shopkeeper Wang for a leave, and he was still thinking about whether to find someone to help her take the shift.

I didn't know that she hadn't opened her mouth to mention the matter of leave, and the shopkeeper Wang took the initiative to inform everyone on the third day of the junior high school that the Dragon Boat Festival teahouse would be closed for three days, because his Yue's family temporarily came to inform him that he wanted to go to Yue's house for the Dragon Boat Festival and take his wife and children home by the way.

So, yesterday, she took advantage of the time when she didn't go to the teahouse to buy a pound of soybeans, which were all ground into powder after being fried, and after making all the zongzi orders at home, the remaining little glutinous rice was all made into glutinous rice, and when she was ready to go to Qinghe County to see the dragon boat on the fifth day of the new year, she sold soybeans and glutinous rice, and three small pieces for a penny. This is kind of a local ingredient - the original burrito plan was changed to soybean glutinous rice cake. One liter of glutinous rice can be made into five to ten grams of glutinous rice, but if you can make one or two hundred yuan, the profit will definitely be higher than that of vegetable burritos.

In addition, she also asked Yun Niang to fry nearly 200 glutinous rice fruits, and then brought some zongzi and buns, full of two baskets, a basket and a back basket, plus a big bowl with bean flour.

"You bring so much food to sell, how can you have time to take a good look at the dragon boat?"

Liu Dakang watched her carry this pile of things onto the rented ox cart, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Besides, why did Yun Niang go with you to sell these things? She's a different girl than you......"

"What do you mean? Am I not a girl? After Jiang Han put the back basket away, he jumped out of the car and glared at him in protest.

"Are you like? You're used to pretending to be a man, and if I tell people that you're a girl, they'll think there's something wrong with my eyes! Yun Niang is diametrically opposed to you, even if she wears men's clothes, people will suspect that she is a girl, and when the time comes, how do you let her deal with herself? ”

Jiang Han sneered: "Hmph, I know that you feel sorry for Yun Niang, don't I feel sorry for her?" I'm not a Zhou Peel, I'm going to call her to death......"

"Who is Zhou Papi?"

Jiang Han secretly scolded himself, his lips closed twice, and his voice was high: "I'm talking about 'peeling skin'!" You don't know what it means to peel the skin? ”

She raised her head again, clasped her hands to her chest, and pointed her chin to him, and said uncontrollably: "Okay, in short, I didn't let Yun Niang sell these with me, you can rest assured!" This time, for the sake of you getting me back such an order, I will give you a chance to behave well in front of Yun Niang, and see if you have the ability to touch the hearts of other girls! ”

Liu Dakang's face was red and his heart was beating when he heard this, and he couldn't help but peek at the courtyard gate, and then said, "What nonsense? If you dare to show these meanings in front of Yun Niang, I have to beat you! ”

"Hmph, coward! I've been to the brothel and seen the world, and I don't know if I like it, so I have to chase it quickly? Do you want to play unrequited masochism? Stupid! I don't know how to seize the opportunity to capture the girl's heart? Jiang Han said contemptuously, "Don't blame my sister, I didn't remind you, when Yun Niang finds Mama Yu and recovers her identity, you will have no hope!" ”

After speaking, Jiang Han went back to the small courtyard to see if his father had cleaned up.

But Liu Dakang stood beside the ox cart, looking at her back in a daze.

It is undeniable that what Jiang Han said is not good, but it is very reasonable.

When his mother made it clear to him that he was going to marry Jiang Han in the future, his first reaction was that if it wasn't for Yun Niang, he wouldn't want to marry.

He didn't know why he liked her.

He knew that it was not love at first sight, because when he saw her embarrassed for the first time, he even avoided going back to the county office to report the news......

He understands the gap between himself and Yun Niang, and also knows that in Yun Niang's eyes now, he is just an ordinary big brother next door, if he suddenly crosses the line with her, he will only push her far away and even the big brother next door can't do it.

However, what Jiang Han said also makes sense......

For a while, Liu Dakang frowned.

However, before he could think about it, another voice came from the small courtyard.

"Yueya, have you inserted mugwort leaves and calamus on the door? Don't just remember the gate in the courtyard, forget the gate! Father Jiang was helped out of the main house by Jiang Han, glanced at the door frames of each room in the courtyard, and asked.

"Don't worry, Dad, not only did I insert calamus and mugwort leaves, Yun Niang and I boiled all the herbs that my little sister brought back yesterday, and when we come back in the evening, let's add some water to boil and take a medicinal bath!"

Speaking of this herb, the people of Luoxia Town will boil the herb water and take a medicinal bath to remove evil spirits during the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

Generally, poor people mainly use calamus mugwort leaves, plus some cypress leaves and peach branches to boil potions, and those with better conditions will go to the pharmacy to buy specially prepared herb bags.

The potion boiled out of the herb pack in the pharmacy can not only remove evil spirits, but even cure skin diseases, and the effect is better.

Qiancaotang will supply a limited supply of herb packs every year, two days in advance, a large package of herbs for 50 yuan, can be used by a family of three or four people, cheaper than other pharmacies about 10 yuan, so every year it is a rush to buy out.

Because it was a limited supply, and the herb pack recipes of each pharmacy were exclusive, their behavior did not arouse opposition from other pharmacies in Luoxia Town.

Her family's bag was still stained with Liu Xiaomei's light, and Dr. Qiu helped keep it in advance.

The father and daughter were talking, and Yun Niang and Xiao An also came out.

Liu Dakang hurriedly walked into the small courtyard to help Daddy Jiang.

After a while, Aunt Liu and Liu Xiaomei also came out.

"This is the sachet I rushed out yesterday, and I didn't have time to embroider it beautifully, so let's just take it!"

After everyone got into the car, Yun Niang took out five sachets from the cloth bag she carried, and one person handed one.

This cloth bag was originally made by Jiang Han to help her make it so that it was convenient to hold copper coins - sometimes too many copper coins were collected, and it was inconvenient to put them in the inner pocket of the front placket.

She saw that it was really convenient and easy to use, so she made one for herself and Xiao An, which could be used to put some carry-on items when she went out.

"It's very well embroidered, and it smells good." Jiang Han took the sachet and flipped it over to appreciate it, sniffed it again, and praised.

Liu Dakang held it with trembling hands, and his face was slightly hot when he looked at him.

Although he knew that everyone had it, his heart was still like eating honey.

He stuffed the sachet into his arms and praised it stumblingly: "Well embroidered, you, your hands are very skillful, thank you, thank you!" ”

Yun Niang specially divided this sachet into different styles for men and women, the men's one was made into an ingots shape, embroidered with a few bamboo leaves, and the women's one was made into a triangular shape and embroidered with peach blossoms.

Aunt Liu took a closer look, praised it with a smile, and said: "This year, I was busy making zongzi for the moon girl, I forgot to do it, but fortunately, Yun girl, you remember, thank you for being careful!" She sniffed it again and asked, "What's in the sachet?" The taste is quite special! ”

"I didn't have time to buy any medicinal herbs, so I put mugwort leaves, calamus, incense, and I also added some peach branches......

"Maybe it's the addition of this peach branch that makes this smell special......"

Several people in the carriage were discussing the sachet matter, and Liu Dakang, who was sitting on the frame with Father Jiang, saw that everyone was seated, and drove the ox cart out of the alley with a whip.

Jiang Han in the carriage reacted and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Kang, wait a while, you turn to Owa Lane, I want to pick up Song Douyan, I have to rely on him to sell my things with me!" ”

"Isn't it enough for you to send people to sell things every morning? Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, can't you let the family have a good reunion? Father Jiang said disapprovingly.

"Dad, that's not good, although there must be a lot of people in the county today, but the dragon boat race will only take a while, and the crowd will disperse after the competition. I've got so much stuff to prepare, I have to sell it all before the game is over, I can't do it alone! ”

"Who let him choose to sign the agreement by himself, I didn't want to call him for long, he himself wanted to sell it to me for two years, no need for nothing!"

"Besides, we'll be back in the afternoon, and it's not like we can't reunite in the evening! We poor people don't pay so much attention to it, earning money is the first thing! ”
