I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 54 In the restaurant, the dragon boat race

"This guest officer, five cents a piece. The sachet is embroidered by my little sister stitch by stitch. The dried flowers and mint inside are picked and dried on the mountain. They are very fresh. I can wear them for ten days and a half months. It's cool.

"Give me one."

Everything is difficult at the beginning, there are countless times after the first time, here Ye Xiaomei also opened. The 25 sachets were quickly sold out, many of which were purchased earlier and brought back to buy later.

It can be seen that Ye Xiaomei's craftsmanship is not bad.

"Let's go, little sister, let's go watch the dragon boat race with my sister-in-law." Ye Erlang carried his backpack and went to the restaurant with Ye Xiaomei.

Jiang Zhi was sitting in the private room, looking out from the restaurant, she could see the marsh river wharf, where six dragon boats were docked, and both sides of the river were crowded with pedestrians and various small vendors.

"Sister-in-law, all the sachets I made have been sold, thanks to my brother, he is so good." Ye Xiaomei ran in with a smile, picked up the teapot and poured Ye Erlang a cup of coarse tea.

"Okay, you and Erlang are both good, my little sister is good at embroidering sachets, and Erlang is even more sophisticated than those who have been working for more than ten years for the first time." Jiang Zhi looked at Ye Erlang: "Erlang, work harder, let the shop assistant pick it up." Bring some delicious food."

"Decree." Ye Erlang went downstairs to look for the waiter.

"It's rare for our family to be unrestrained. Today is the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival to have fun." Jiang Zhi poured Ye Xiaomei a cup of tea.

Ye Heng was dozing off on the chair at the moment, Jiang Zhi didn't want to wake him up.

The whole family leaned on the window sill and watched as County Magistrate Li led the crowd to invite the dragon god to sacrifice. After the sacrifice was completed, the dragon head and tail were installed on the dragon boat, and the next step was to kill chickens and drink blood.

After this set of procedures, Jiang Zhi had knocked off half a plate of melon seeds.

Ye Xiaomei was so free that she even played a game.

Only Ye Erlang watched it seriously, he had rarely seen such a big scene, and seeing it now felt very fresh.

I used to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at home and eat two white rice dumplings with pickles. How can I sit in a restaurant and watch it now?

"Wow, it's about to start." Ye Erlang shook Ye Heng awake, stuffed him with a small meat bun, and hugged him to watch by the window sill.

The drums outside were loud and the shouts continued.

The six dragon boats swished out following the order of County Magistrate Li.

The paint on the dragon boat seems to be different from that of later generations. Jiang Zhi has been staring at the pattern on it without taking his eyes off it.

"Rush, Rush, Rush!"

"Hurry up, size C, hurry up!"

"The size B is going to be over, it's going to be over!"

"Size A, size A, stroke harder, harder!"

Most of the people on the shore ran forward with the dragon boat, and there were crowds of people.

A booth was set up at the pier, and those in the county sat together, and the dragon boat was sent out, and returned after arriving at the designated destination.

In the end, whoever is the first to return to the starting line will be No.1 and win the lottery.

The jackpot for this year's dragon boat race is ten taels of silver.

This is a full twenty guan, and the income of ordinary people in a year is only this amount.

That's why the competition is so fierce.

"I didn't expect the Dragon Boat Festival in our Xin'an County to be so grand. Now I have opened my eyes. Under Brother Li's rule, the people in the subordinate villages of Xin'an County must be extremely simple." Ouyang looked at the dragon boat that was getting farther and farther away on the water.

When he was studying in Dongdu, he had seen dragon boat racing more than once, and His Majesty would go to watch it every time.Although it is not known how many times grander than the one in Xin'an County, but because His Majesty is present and the purpose of the performance is stronger, it is not as pure as the one here.

The smiles on the faces of the people here are very pure. This is a kind of smile from the heart, not a fake smile, let alone an embarrassing smile.

"Brother Ouyang's reputation is too high. Before this official came, there was already this custom. In previous years, county magistrates would also hold dragon boat races." County magistrate Li did not claim credit.

It's just that the county magistrates in previous years would not spend so much money as a lottery, and even organized officials and soldiers Yuming to fight together, the lottery was often not won by the common people.

So it's self-evident who got into the pocket in the end.

"After the race is over, can brother Ouyang do you a favor, let's go to the restaurant and get drunk?"

"Brother Li doesn't need to mention it." Ouyang opened his folding fan, his beard fluttered in the wind, and the tea foam in the teacup gradually dissipated.

It appears they are back.

Li Jintian got up and put his hands on the railing, the wind blew up the corners of his blue official uniform, and the dragon boat in the distance flew towards him with the sound of big drums.

"Hurry up, we're going to be overtaken." County magistrate Li also sweated for the current top spot.

"Brother Li, do you think the current No. [-] can become the final No. [-]?" Ouyang closed his fan and asked with a smile.

Li Jintian showed embarrassment: "It's... not until the last moment, I really can't see it."

"Then I will bet that the current third will get the high prize set by Brother Li." Ouyang said firmly.

Above the restaurant, the members of the Ye family watched the movement on the river seriously.

Jiang Zhi was eating melon seeds, watching the dragon boats going and coming back with obvious scratches, probably because they didn't exercise enough on weekdays.

"Hey, little girl, why don't we guess which dragon can win the first prize?" Ye Erlang touched Ye Xiaomei's elbow lying on the window sill.

"How do I know that? Didn't we win by betting on Type C? Then I'll bet on Type C." Ye Xiaomei casually said a name, but now it seems that the chances of winning are not great.

"Little sister is getting more and more perfunctory, so I want to bet on the first one to win. This dragon has been ranked first from the beginning, and they will definitely keep it to the end." Ye Erlang said.

"Bad second brother, how do you know I'm just being perfunctory?" In fact, she was really perfunctory, but Ye Erlang exposed her mercilessly in public.

Jiang Zhi touched Ye Heng's head and said, "Baby, which boat do you think will win?"

"The one with red flowers." Ye Heng pointed to the river.

"Look carefully, there are red tweeds on every boat." Jiang Zhi said.

"That, that." Ye Heng tried to point, "That man has big flowers hanging on his body, he is so fat."

Jiang Zhi looked in the direction Ye Heng pointed, and it was the third boat with big red flowers hanging on the drum.Because the distance was too far, the faces of the people on board could not be seen clearly, and it was indeed a fat man.

"Then tell Auntie, why do you think that boat can win the first place?" Jiang Zhi asked again.

"I don't know." Ye Heng shook his head.

What why, why should he know why?
Ye Heng didn't understand.

"Oh~" Jiang Zhi rubbed Ye Heng's head.This little kid doesn't know what's going on in his head?But he really got what he said, it was indeed the third dragon boat that won the final first place.

Cheers erupted from the shore, and some spectators sighed because they pressed the wrong treasure.

County Magistrate Li looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you are worthy of being Brother Ouyang, but Brother Ouyang, how did you determine that the ship with the fat man beating the drums will definitely win?"

　　In addition, there is a cute proposal, the calculation problem on the ancient catty and the modern catty.I didn't think carefully beforehand, and I have been using the modern jin before, so it is a bit awkward to read.Therefore, I amended the two-pound problem before this chapter and changed it to 1:1.36. However, since there are 10 words in the front, it is inevitable that there will be omissions. I will continue to check and correct the previous problems. If there are any mistakes, please also Everyone correct me, the little seedlings need to be taken care of, thank you babies.
