Chapter 85 West Lake is going to perform the stage play "The Legend of the White Snake".

The two men continued to search.

After discovering the artemisia species many times before, the target was finally found.

A large cluster of plants in front of me that resembled the artemisia just now, and before I got too close, I smelled a strong smell.

This smell is unique to wormwood.

Some people say that the smell is fragrant, that it is an aroma.

But Li Xianyu thinks it shouldn't be fragrant, right?

However, it does smell and feel more comfortable.

Ling Xiaoyue sniffed closer, and said, "The smell is really much stronger than the previous ones. But it doesn't seem to make a difference from the outside. ”

Li Xianyu said with a smile: "If you compare the ones just now with this one, you will find that there is still a difference." If you look at it alone, you can't see any difference. ”

As he spoke, Li Xianyu began to cut wormwood with a sickle.

Such a big bush is enough for the two families.

"By the way, why do you hang wormwood on the Dragon Boat Festival and not on other festivals?" Ling Xiaoyue asked.

Li Xianyu said: "A traditional custom! In addition, there is a saying that the Dragon Boat Festival is the strongest day of the year for all herbs and trees. So hang on this day. ”

"That's right." Ling Xiaoyue said that she understood.

Soon, Li Xianyu cut all the wormwood and put it in the back basket.

Next, I'm going to look for calamus.

Calamus is a semi-aquatic plant that grows mostly in swamps or where there is water in the mountains.

It has a fragrance and is a spiritual grass that can drive away evil spirits in traditional culture.

Soon after, two men found the target on the edge of a pond.

Its leaves are green, shiny, and nearly one meter long.

The lower part is wide, and the middle part is gradually narrower, like a sword out of the sheath.

"The calamus is pretty good." Ling Xiaoyue said.

Li Xianyu nodded. Then a large handful was cut with a sickle.

Get.

Went back.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw Liu Yunrong picking the leaves of the bamboo in a bamboo forest.

Li Xianyu smiled: "Uncle Rong, are you going to make zongzi?" ”

There are many customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. The most common is to hang wormwood, calamus, and other plants, and then eat zongzi.

The same is true in the village.

And the zongzi in the village are made by each family.

Making zongzi is very simple, wrap the glutinous rice with zongzi leaves, and steam it.

And the leaves of the bamboo are one of the most commonly used zongzi leaves.

There are bamboo baskets in the village, so everyone uses bamboo dumplings to make rice dumplings.

Zongye is not a leaf of a plant. Rather, it refers to all the plant leaves that wrap the zongzi.

Generally, there are basket leaves, reed leaves, cinnamon bamboo leaves, plantain leaves, etc.

These leaves have a large amount of chlorophyll that is beneficial to the human body, as well as a variety of amino acids, and also have special preservative effects.

It is a very ideal material for wrapping zongzi.

Li Xianyu and Ling Xiaoyue also want to make zongzi at home, and the leaves are also ready.

After hearing Li Xianyu ask like this, Liu Yunrong smiled and said, "I'm going to pack it." ”

Then he saw the wormwood in Li Xianyu's back, and said, "Is wormwood easy to find this year?" ”

Li Xianyu said: "It's okay." We didn't have to go far to find it. Uncle Rong, have you gone to find wormwood? ”

Liu Yunrong said: "Not yet." Prepare to look for it in the afternoon. ”

Li Xianyu said: "Then I'll give you a little here." We can't run out of so much. ”

As he spoke, he put down his back. Take out some wormwood from the back, and some calamus.

Wormwood and calamus can be hung a little more or a little less. After giving Liu Yunrong some, it was enough for the two families.

"This ...... Thank you very much. Small fish, small moon. After Liu Yunrong hesitated, he did not refuse.

Li Xianyu and Ling Xiaoyue said that they didn't need to thank them, and then said goodbye and left.

When I got home, my mother was already making zongzi.

Seeing this, Ling Xiaoyue ran over to pack it.

Li Xianyu smiled and put the wormwood and calamus away.

At this time, Su Zimo called and said, "The staff of the West Lake Scenic Area found me. said that they wanted to perform the stage play "The Legend of the White Snake" in West Lake. May I ask you, can I sell them the rights to the stage play? ”

"A stage play?" Li Xianyu thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”

Previously, a number of film and television investment companies approached Li Xianyu, hoping to buy the film and television rights of "The Legend of the White Snake".

But Li Xianyu politely declined.

Like "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", Li Xianyu, the film and television copyright of "The Legend of the White Snake", does not plan to sell it for the time being.

But now it's a stage play, and that's sellable.

West Lake wants to perform the stage play "The Legend of the White Snake", which is a good thing.

Su Zimo was very happy when he heard Li Xianyu say that he was willing to sell, and said, "That's it." Then I'll ask the West Lake Scenic Area to contact you directly. ”

"Okay."

After a while, a strange phone call came, "Hello, Mr. Xianyu." I am Wang Heng, assistant director of the West Lake Scenic Area Office. I am very happy, and I am very grateful to Mr. Xianyu for being willing to sell us the copyright of the stage play "The Legend of the White Snake". ”

Mr. Wang was polite. I guess I'm honored. Thank you very much, and I am very honored that you are willing to put "The Legend of the White Snake" on the stage. ”

After a moment of politeness, the two sides began to get to the point.

Copyright price.

After a classic simple negotiation, the price is quickly determined.

3 million.

West Lake can put any plot in "The Legend of the White Snake" on the stage and perform it in the form of a stage play.

It can only be performed in the form of a stage play.

The bid of the West Lake Scenic Area is very sincere, and Li Xianyu is simply it.

Copyright is negotiated. Wang Heng was very excited and said: "We welcome Mr. Xianyu to come to the scenic spot again at any time in the West Lake Scenic Area. After the start of our stage play, if Mr. Xianyu can come to the scene in person, it will be the greatest honor of our West Lake Scenic Area. ”

Li Xianyu said: "Where, where, Mr. Wang Heng is serious." If I have the chance, I will definitely go to the show. ”

Wang Heng said with a smile: "We are waiting at any time, and welcome Mr. Xianyu to come." ”

After a few more polite words to each other, the two hung up the phone.

Next, Wang Heng will send the formal contract over.

When the time comes, take a closer look before signing.

Leave it alone for now.

Let's see how Ling Xiaoyue's girl's dumplings are?

After approaching.

Ling Xiaoyue's first zongzi is almost finished.

But the shape doesn't look good.

Although it is simple to make zongzi. But it's not so easy to wrap the shape beautifully.

Li Xianyu smiled: "Girl, you can't do it!" ”

Ling Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and said, "Then you can try one." ”

"Okay, you learn a little." Li Xianyu said.

He planned to show off his hand in front of Ling Xiaoyue.

However, he somewhat overestimated himself.

Although he had made zongzi before, it had been many years.

How do you start now? He had forgotten about it.

After fumbling for a while, I finally figured out the method.

In the end, the zongzi were successfully wrapped.

But that shape is not as good as Ling Xiaoyuebao's.

made Ling Xiaoyue giggle non-stop.
