Chapter 361 Dragon Boat Festival
Chapter 360 Dragon Boat Festival

The potion is made from the wormwood and cattails that were hung next to the door last year and some new ones picked from the mountains this year. The wormwood will turn into old moxa after one year of hanging. Zanthoxylum bungeanum, ginger slices, boiled into a concoction and added to the bath water to wash the dolls, it is said that it can remove malignant sores and prevent prickly heat. Anyway, there are many benefits. Every baby in Lijiagou has been washed since childhood, which is an old custom.

Li Yuduo and Wang Meixian are female dolls who wash in the bathroom.Yuning, Yusong, and Jingzilun are boys, and the weather is not cold, so they can just soak in the dam.

Seeing Li Junge came back, the children all laughed and called Uncle Erpi.

Li Junge couldn't help laughing: "Hey! Do you want to sell the dolls wholesale?"

The mother smiled and said: "You can count it back, these children can't get up in the basin, and the water has been added several times."

Li Junge said: "Can't you get up? Then Uncle Erpi will go to Wuxi River tomorrow to release fish fry, and Uncle He Miao and Uncle Zhiqiu Lin Zhao will also go to the terraced fields on the mountain to release fish fry, so I won't take you there."

As soon as they heard that the children were excited, they all shouted to go.

Li Junge said with a smile: "If you want to go, you need to be prepared, so get up quickly. After eating the rice dumplings, we will go and investigate and see where it is more appropriate to put the fish."

So the kids got up quickly, wiped themselves and put on their clothes.

Ayin picked up a pot of rice dumplings and salted eggs and brought them out. Grandma first gave each child a cloth monkey made by a female celebrity. Some held pumpkins, some held peaches, and some held pomegranates. Each monkey had a color, a face, The hugs are different.

The monkey is not small, it is as big as a schoolbag, and there is a strap on its body, which can be carried on its back for playing or detached.

He also took out the newly made sachets this year and hung them on the schoolbags for the children.

Ayin and Li Junge also had sachets, and Ayin got an extra five-poison embroidered handkerchief.The other uninvited guests didn't prepare things for the Dragon Boat Festival separately, but grandma had plenty of insoles of various sizes in her hand, so she directly brought out the dustpan and asked the three guests to choose two pairs each.

After eating zongzi, Miaowa Wu Zhiqiu and Lin Zhao took their insoles and said goodbye happily. Li Junge and A Yin were going to lead the children to play in Panao Township.

Bai Da and Da Dai were also recruited by Li Junge. Li Junge smiled again when he saw the walnuts on Da Dai's back. This guy was wearing a five-poison gown, which seemed to be handmade by grandma, and it fit well. It was red. The five cute and traditionally shaped poisonous insects on the canvas are really eye-catching.

As soon as he saw Li Junge, Walnut jumped over, yelling and making gestures while pulling on the gown, which meant that this thing was not fun and he didn't want to wear it.

Li Junge stroked its head lightly, and said with a smile: "Grandma just likes it, so you can bear with walnuts. There is a kind of clothes that grandma thinks you should wear. I have come here since I was a child."

Ayin picked out two baskets of zongzi, salted eggs and the like, and when she heard the sarcastic remarks, she giggled and pinched him: "It's not good!"

Li Junge took out some equipment from the upstairs of the pigsty, which was made by Uncle A Chong, which was similar to the yoke used for farming cattle, and was put on the backs of three piglets, Da Dai, Er Dai, and Xiao Dai.

Hang the baskets on Dadai's back, one on each side, and everyone walks to Jiuchangju together.

This team is magnificent, eight dogs, six pigs, five babies, and five cloth monkeys on their backs, plus a live monkey and two adults, the road is blocked, and the whole road is full of chaos. Blockbuster.

When folks come over, the pets will take the initiative to get out of the way. As soon as Li Junge greets the folks, Walnut stands on Li Junge's shoulder and snaps to attention.

The villagers were so happy that they laughed, saying that the walnuts are pleasing to the eye, and the Piwa is also suitable for the scene of carrying monkeys on the Dragon Boat Festival.

When they came to Jiuchangju, Li Junge called Matou and Jinmao to come down. Matou stood on the small platform on Erdai's back, and Jinmao stood on the shelf on Xiaodai's back. That was all.

The eight funny dogs started running back and forth to tease pigs and monkeys, but the golden retrievers immediately became honest, and they walked like everyone's ladies.

Xiaodai is like an eagle and a pig, carrying a golden retriever to rub against the dog, which means come on, you guys continue to piss me off!

Li Junge laughed loudly: "Be honest, let's go, let's send zongzi to Grandpa and Aunt Liang."

On the way, I met Wang Xiaogang, Wang Xiaosong, Wang Xiaobai, and Li Yunqiu.Wang Xiaosong ran over and asked, "Hey, godfather, where are you going? It's so fun for Walnut to dress up."

Li Junge smiled and said, "We're going to Pan'ao Township, will you go?"

There was still a reason not to go, and the four of them joined immediately, and the team expanded again.

When there are too many people, they start to act like a demon, and Li Yunqiu's little sister starts to take the rhythm:

"Climbing mountain beans, vines and vines grow, climb mountains and grounds to see mother!

The mother is far away, the road is long, and my sister is a black heart!
Don't recognize your father, don't recognize your mother, marry a weasel tomorrow! "

or:

"Red Rooster, loves to sing!

Mr. me, younger brother!
A mother gave birth to a mother-in-law!
Mom is married, I carry the box!
Carry it to grandma's door!
Grandma is still sitting in the basket!
Uncle is still shaking grandma! "

Ayin laughed and covered her mouth: "Erpi, you have so many messy nursery rhymes in Lijiagou!"

Li Junge smiled and said: "This thing can't be underestimated. It has the same elegance and praise, and it has a complete range of comparisons. It is not only humorous, but also has educational significance. It is quite fun."

After finishing speaking, he explained: "For example, the first song just now, it simply teaches children to be filial, and there are some simple and crude meanings of karma in it."

"The second song is even more interesting. I deliberately reversed all the big and small relationships, and taught children from the negative side to figure out the order, otherwise it's just a joke. How about it? It's fun, right?"

A Yin giggled: "Yo, you attach so much importance to this, don't you think they are also intangible cultural heritage?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "Why not? What is intangible cultural heritage? Intangible cultural heritage refers to various traditional cultural expressions passed down from generation to generation by people of all ethnic groups and regarded as part of cultural heritage. The most important one is traditional oral Literature. Then let me ask you, these nursery rhymes, according to the standard of this definition, where do they not meet?"

A Yin was dumbfounded: "Uh, well, I don't know if I don't think about it seriously, but if you think about it carefully, what you said really makes sense."

Li Junge said with a smile: "This is 'Pay attention to learning everywhere'. Nursery rhymes are small, but if you really want to study them, they are actually quite interesting."

Everyone walked forward with a smile and a smile.

Since the road is being constructed in sections and there is no shortage of funds, the progress is very fast. The road surface has been completed for a small half, but it has not yet been connected.

The road is very elegant, basically old stones, which have been stepped on for a long time, and some new stone strips are inlaid in it. If those broken or potholes are replaced, the old and new can be distinguished at a glance, but it is more acclaimed. To show the ancient vicissitudes of the road.

Part of the stone bridge has also started construction, and the pets passed by drenching, and the children had to go to the ditch by His Excellency Li Jun and hug them one by one.

There are a few big pagoda trees on the side of the road, the pagoda tree flowers are green in white and yellow in green, and the bees are too busy to get in and out of the flowers.

Li Junge saw that the pagoda tree was drooling, and said to A Yin: "The lychee and pagoda tree in Lijiagou bloom at the same time, the honey of the pagoda tree is light, the honey of the lychee is thick, and the honey of the cauliflower is pungent. Hehehe, it's time to harass the pharmacist It's time for Uncle. These two kinds of steamed buns, rabbits and ducks are perfect!"

Ayin asked strangely: "The rabbit is honey-stained rabbit, what kind of dish is the duck?"

Li Yusong said: "Oh, sister Ayin, you haven't even eaten sweet-skinned duck? Uncle Erpi's sweet-skinned duck is delicious."

Ayin has never eaten it, so she doesn't know the taste, so she didn't bother with this question. Instead, honey sparked another topic: "Erpi, why did the honey I bought in the supermarket when I was studying, and the honey I bought at home Take it differently?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "This difference is too big. There are several kinds of foods that never expire in nature, such as vinegar, wine, salt, sugar, and honey."

"However, there are two prerequisites here. One is that it is naturally formed, and the other is that the concentration is high enough. Like the natural honey from Lijiagou and Miao Village that condenses into hard lard, archaeologists have found it in pyramids. It has not deteriorated for more than 3000 years."

"Many of the honey products in the supermarket have not been fully fermented in the hive, and there is too much water, the concentration is not enough, and they have been subjected to various methods such as high temperature and blending. It is normal for them to go rancid after a period of time."

"Of course, natural honey is not as long as it is stored, the better. In addition to sugar, there are many substances beneficial to the human body in honey. These substances will decompose, degrade, volatilize, and become invalid after being stored for a long time. Therefore, natural honey should be eaten within two years. It’s better if it’s finished, otherwise there will be only sugar left.”

A Yin suddenly realized: "No wonder, the ones bought in the supermarket will be sour after being opened for a while, but the ones from our Miao Village are fine, so this is the reason."

Li Junge smiled and said: "These are the wisdom of life. At a young age, if you understand these, you will not be fooled. For example, pagoda tree honey is light in color, not easy to crystallize, has the most water, and needs to be eaten as soon as possible; lychee honey is second, after a period of time. The bottom part will condense into a paste, and the top part has a lot of water, so eat it first; as for cauliflower honey, it has the least water content and is the most durable, and the pungent taste will become soft and strong after being stored for a period of time. I will show you when I go back Go to Uncle Pharmacist, and you will understand."

Ayin smiled and said, "It's still the same sentence, pay attention to learning everywhere, right?"

Li Junge held A Yin's hand and said, "Yes, I was just talking about it at a young age, what if I talked about it at an older age? A Yin, we used to spend too much energy and time on studying, farming and rural life. Experience is our shortcoming. If you want to communicate with the villagers without barriers, you must sink your heart and learn from them. Only by understanding these can you get their approval and work well.”

Ayin nodded and said, "I'm going to learn from my grandma when I'm free now. It seems that I will have to ask her more about these life experiences in the future."

Li Junge is persuasive: "Yes, there are three obediences and four virtues to be picked up, 'follow the father at home, obey the husband when married, and obey the son when the husband dies.' You see how well grandma has practiced in this life..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ayin gave Li Junge an elbow: "Get up! You old and cunning guy! Everything above makes sense! Hehehe... The last sentence is definitely your private product!"

……

When I came to Panao Township, the stone tablet of Qingshi’s old path had already been erected on the side of the road. Li Junge took advantage of the opportunity to explain the allusion to the children, and at the same time told the origin of the old path, the reason for burying it, and the tradition of the Li family. .

They are all related to their ancestors, and the kids all listened with gusto.
