Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 88 Dragon Boat Race

Yan Xiao looked at Zhou Zhi and sneered: "Wearing a straw hat, are you going to swim the Yangtze River?"

What Yan Xiao was talking about was also Jiachuan's old "Yanzi", that is, a joke. He said that as long as he puts on a straw hat, anyone can swim immediately.

Because even if the person has sunk, the straw hat is still floating on the river, and the people on the shore can't see it.

"Get lost!" Zhou Zhi scolded with a smile, "Where did you come from?"

"From Caiba!" Huating was very excited: "There were some eggplants and cowpeas, but the tire flipped halfway."

Sure enough, it is the true color of wild boar, and thieves don't miss it.

Zhou Zhi took off his straw hat and put it on Zhang Xiaoyu's head: "You can't compare with us, your baby will definitely peel off tomorrow."

Zhouzhi Yan Xiaohua Ting is a troubled pond fish. He plays in the Chishui River of the Yangtze River for a long time in summer, and his tanned complexion will not fade completely after a winter.

Zhang Xiaoyu has been with his mother for a long time and has been well taken care of. Now he has just joined the wild boar group, just like the Yorkshire large white pig, which is not the same breed at a glance.

Zhou Zhi's discoloration is also worse than Yan Xiaohua Ting's, because his cousin of Chinese medicine taught him that he can only go swimming in the river after the Dragon Boat Festival, and he hasn't entered the water this year.

The specific reason is not clear, anyway, it is right to listen to the doctor.

A flow of people had already formed on the street, and they all gathered towards the riverside pier. When they arrived at the riverside, there were already several boats maintaining order in the center of the river.

Such a big scene will no longer be seen in future generations.

When Zhou Zhi and Yan Xiao came to the riverside, they couldn't even find a place to sit, so they had to stand.

Looking around, there are dense crowds of human heads, and I don't know where Jiang Shuyi and the others are now.

It was my own mistake. I told my mother yesterday, and my mother said that if she knew in advance, she could actually arrange for the girls to watch the dragon boat race on the ferry barge. The person in charge of the ferry management office is also a classmate of her and her father.

Zhou Zhi asked why you never arranged for me before that?
Mom doesn't want to talk to Zhou Zhi at all, I'm afraid it will delay your grabbing zongzi.

This incident can actually show that Jiachuan is now the world of parents and their generation.

"Dong dong dong dong..." The drums on the dragon boat rang, and the loudspeaker on the barge also started to blah, blah, blah.

Soon, the four dragon boats formed a formation.

The crowd on the shore was nervous and excited, and the game was about to start.

"Bang!" A puff of white smoke rose from the top of the barge. This thing is still an old thing, and it was moved from nowhere.

The sound of the drum suddenly became intense and full of rhythm. On both sides of the four dragon boats, there were white waves raised by the paddlers.

On the high dragon on the bow, there is a flag bearer reclined, waving two small flags in his hands, to match the drum beat in the middle, and there is a helmsman at the rear of the stern, dragging a long rudder to control the direction of progress.

The four dragon boats rowed towards the opposite bank at a fast speed, and the surging river rushed them downstream at the same time.

The end point is on the river beach under the White Tower on the opposite bank, and a slanted track is drawn from the new highway pier.

"Boom boom boom boom..." If you listen carefully, the dragon boat passed the center of the river, and the drums of the clever fleet began to speed up slowly.

A dragon boat with a yellow dragon head slowly emerged from the four parallel teams. Although the rear three tried their best to catch up, the gap was gradually widened.

As the finish line approached, the sound of the drums changed suddenly, and the frequency suddenly doubled. The oarsmen changed from one drum and one oar just now to two drums and one oar.

The movement of the flag bearer has also changed, from the simple pushing and receiving just now to the complicated dancing flower.

Morale burst instantly!

The shouts of the oarsmen changed from the suppressed "Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey" to high-pitched "Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!"

Even the roaring river wind can no longer suppress this unrestrained passion!
sprint!
The crowd on the shore also boiled, cheering frantically for their favorite fleet.

On the barge opposite, there was a melodious siren sound from a distance. The members of the fishery team were all veterans, and they were the first to cross the finish line.

This is just the preliminaries, only No.1 can stay.

Then came the second batch, and then the third batch.

For the twelve fleets, the seed players will be selected after the first round of competition, and the next final will be the focus.

This is actually a bit unfair, because the length of rest and recovery time for rowers is different.

The boat must first row upstream and then come from the opposite side.

During such preparation time, the crowd on the shore started discussing, discussing which team could win the championship.

The remaining three teams are the Agriculture and Forestry Team, the Fishery Team, and the Fishery Second... Ah no, the individual industrial and commercial team.

The fishery system is really rich in human resources. One team is divided into two teams, and they can both enter the top three together.

Wang Dakun from the fourth class is a fisherman at home. According to him, his father can swim across the Hongshui River with a fishing net of more than ten kilograms on his back, and can work underwater for more than two minutes holding his breath, which is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The finals finally started. As soon as the three fleets set off, it became a competition between the fishery team and the individual industrial and commercial team. The agriculture and forestry team obviously lacked stamina, and the drumbeat was slowed down.

But this can't be blamed on the drummer. The drummer is the on-site coach. He can only adjust the rhythm according to the state of the players. If he doesn't care about it, the effect will be even worse.

The forward state of the red dragon and yellow dragon has also changed. Just now in the preliminaries, the speed was basically uniform. Now, when the paddlers stroke, the dragon boats obviously rush forward.

Both sides have fully exerted their strength, and the game has entered the final heat!
The timing of the landing of the two dragon boats was different, so the competition became a situation of biting each other and taking the lead alternately.

"Come on! Industrial and commercial team, come on!" Zhou Zhi was also very excited by the intense scene. He naturally sat on the side of the industrial and commercial team, and shouted along with the crowd around him, not thinking whether they could hear him or not.

The competition in the middle of the river was fierce, and there were shouts and shouts on the shore, not to mention the excitement.

The two teams rushed towards the White Tower in such an entanglement, and the agriculture and forestry team behind them had been pulled down a hull.

"Woooo—" The barge on the opposite side blew its whistle twice again, the time between them was very short, and the two teams crossed the finish line almost at the same time.

"What the hell..." Zhou Zhi wanted to jump his feet anxiously: "Who will win?"

"Did the industrial and commercial team win?" Yan Xiao is the captain of the team, calmly analyzing the field: "The last run should have fallen on the industrial and commercial team."

Sure enough, there was another fierce drumbeat on the red dragon boat on the opposite side. This time it was no longer rhythmic, but a chaotic drum full of celebration and joy.

The oarsmen also raised up their wooden paddles and cheered, and the flag bearer also stood up from the bow, threw down the small flag and replaced it with a large one, and shook it away. On the Lie Lie's red flag, five people could still be seen faintly. A little point.

Needless to say, it must have the words "individual industrial and commercial team" on it.

"Win!" Zhou Zhi also jumped and cheered.

The individual industrial and commercial team participated in the dragon boat race for the first time and won a championship!
Although this is a small matter, it can be seen from this small matter that the vitality and ability of the emerging class and group of the country have exploded.

Next, they will become an indispensable part of the national economy and create greater achievements and brilliance!

Next came the mass activities, and the crowds on the shore began to surge, running towards the barges by the river. Baskets and baskets of rice dumplings on the boat were already laid out, ready to be thrown away.

A wooden post protruded obliquely from the bow, a small boat came under the wooden post, and hung a duck cage on the wooden post.

Huating threw the tires to Zhang Xiaoyu, and ran down with Yan Xiao: "Little Yuer, hurry up and catch up. We will be in charge of robbing in a while, and you will be in charge of collecting them on the tires! Faster than them going ashore!"

"Return the straw hat to me first!" Zhou Zhi hurriedly took off the straw hat from Zhang Xiaoyu's head, and then kicked Zhang Xiaoyu's ass: "Hurry up! Why are you moving so slowly?!"

"Aren't you going?" Zhang Xiaoyu turned his head and asked while running down with the tire in his arms.

"This year it will be cheaper for you!" Zhou Zhi shouted with a smile, "I have to go home and cook!"

In fact, there was nothing left to do with the rice, so Zhou Zhi started to choose meat after passing the stewed meat stalls on the old street.

In fact, braised pork is called by outsiders, and Jiachuan still calls braised pork "roasted meat".

Roast meat is harder than stewed meat, and after it is cut, it is mixed with spicy oil, peanuts, ginger, scallions, and garlic. Zhou Zhi thinks it is much more delicious than simple stewed meat.

There are only a few that do not mix, such as duck, pork ribs, and fatty intestines.

I cut a piece of pork head meat, a piece of walnut meat, and half a duck, and the total was only seven yuan.

When you get home, boil the water spinach and put it in cold water to keep it green. Slice the white meat and mix with two seasonings, one with no sugar in it and the other with sugar in it with meat. It is ready.

Chopped the remaining water spinach stalks, took out the kimchi and chopped them, and the ingredients for the stir-fried side dishes.

The small cucumber soaked in the morning is just right now, take it out and cut into pieces, add two pieces of torn pickled ginger, no seasoning is needed, the porridge is very delicious.

"Zhou Zhi?" Zhang Xinyi's soft shout had already sounded outside.

"Come in by yourself, I'll cut the watermelon!"

It's only four o'clock, and grandma and mother haven't come back yet. Zhang Xinyi led his classmates in: "Hey, where's the pigeon cage?"

"The pigeon has gone to the fourth floor, and the pigeon cage is useless." Zhou Zhi said, "Go sit in the living room and eat watermelon."

Ye Xin hurried over: "I'll serve you the plate."

Mu Ruyun asked, "Has the monk arrived?"

"Not yet, it should be soon."

"Your family is nice." Mu Ruyun smiled.

"Come on, I dare not compare with your rich family." Zhou Zhi and Ye Xin put two large enamel plates of watermelon on the coffee table, and immediately gave Mu Ruyun a blow.

Not all township families are as difficult as Yang He's family, Ye Xin and Mu Ruyun's family are not bad.

Ye Xin's family runs a hotel in Fubao Town, but providing accommodation is not the main business. The main business is the teahouse on the ground floor and banquet reception.

It was a wooden building owned by the boss.

And Mu Ruyun's family is in the wood and tea business. The two met and chatted for the first time. For some reason, they talked about the family's house. Zhou Zhi asked Mu Ruyun at that time: "Old Mu, how many square meters is your house?"

Mu Ruyun was stunned: "Our house is based on acres, and my homestead is one and a half acres."
