Yunmeng Ballad: I opened a restaurant in the Warring States Period

"What are you calling me?" Gong Shuyao was dumbfounded.

"Sister... brother-in-law..." Wugu stammered.

Although he was very worried that Chu Yunmeng would tear his own mouth to settle accounts with him, but it was all for this sake, he still made up his mind and spit out that word.

Gong Shuyao grinned, and finally let go: "Then let's train with everyone, but we have to be called Master in the future!"

"My name is Sister Chu, Master, and I also call you Master. Is it a mistake?" Wu Gu, who was a big kid, stuck out his tongue strangely.

"Why, you don't even want to be called master? Don't you really want to learn martial arts?"

Gong Shuyao ignored him at all: "You can learn from me, but you are not allowed to be lazy about the dishes needed for the daily operation of Yunmengju."

Otherwise, let Chuchu prepare by herself when the time comes, and she won't be exhausted.Gong Shuyao was thinking in his heart while admonishing Wugu.

"I must, I will definitely not waste my cooking skills." Wu Gu, who has successfully saved the country with curves, naturally agrees to everything at this time.

During the period when Gong Shuyao strengthened his training in the Nursing Academy and prepared for the dragon boat race, Chu Yunmeng finally understood the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival and the dragon boat race, as well as the meaning behind them.

Contrary to what she heard in her dreams, the Dragon Boat Festival and dragon boat races actually existed very early.

The Dragon Boat Festival was originally a festival for ancient ancestors to worship the dragon ancestors in the form of dragon boat races. It originated from the dragon totem sacrifice of the Wuyue tribe in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and it was infused with the summer season of "disease prevention and epidemic prevention".

Developed to the present era, on the basis of the original original intention, new and different meanings have been added in different regions.

In Wudi, the Dragon Boat Race at Duanyang already has a new meaning to commemorate Wu Zixu.

In Chu, due to the complex composition of the residents, in addition to the Xiong family and other Gaoyang Miao descendants, there are more aboriginal residents such as Miao, Yue, Pu, Ba and other "nine barbarians and eight barbarians".

Among these aborigines, shamanism is prevalent, and the meaning of summoning souls and witch sacrifices on Duanyang Festival is more prevalent, and the saying of invoking souls for Panhu is more widely circulated.

It is said that the five ethnic groups in Yuanling, Chu, had a common ancestor, Panhu, who once settled in the rock cave of Banxi, Yuanling, and had six sons and six daughters. The sons and daughters married each other and multiplied into Miao, Yao, Dong, Tu, She, and Li. six nationalities.After Panhu's death, people from the six tribes feasted on witches and invited gods to invoke his soul.Because the Yuanling Mountains are dense with water, the wizards didn't know where his soul was, so they asked all ethnic groups to build a dragon boat and search for the call from stream to river, which later evolved into the witch worship activity of boating to summon the soul.

Combining the Gaoyang Miao people with the "nine barbarians and eight barbarians" indigenous traditions, the Duanyang Festival in Chu has gradually developed into a grand, richer meaning and more grand ritual activities.

In addition to the original meaning of offering sacrifices to the Dragon Ancestor, it also has more meanings such as expelling epidemics, offering sacrifices to witches, and entertaining gods.

With the development and prosperity of the cities and towns of Chu, and the boldness and openness of the residents of Chu, the religious nature of dragon boat racing has gradually faded, and the entertainment has become more important.

Until now, dragon boat racing has been a semi-religious, semi-entertainment program in the ritual.

People carve Jackie Chan-shaped canoes to the sound of drums and do races, both to entertain gods and people.

In a word, the dragon boat race on the Duanyang Festival is a ritual used by people to worship the ancestors of the dragon and pray to ward off evil spirits, not to commemorate Qu Yuan.

It's just that Dr. Qu just happened to throw himself into the river on this day.

Therefore, Dr. Qu really understands the essence of taking advantage of the situation. If he doesn't throw himself into the river sooner or later, he chooses the day of Duanyang.

As a result, thousands of years later, when people talk about the Dragon Boat Festival and dragon boat races, they only remember Qu Yuan and nothing else.

***********
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Duanyang Festival.

On this day, Yingdu was busier than any other day in the past.

Colorful flags and ribbons are fluttering everywhere, for exorcising evil spirits, praying for blessings, competing, and various flags for different purposes are waving everywhere.

Women all over the city, all dressed in various colors, come to the lakeside and river, either sitting or lying down, or playing with their companions, or going out with people they have long admired.Those who are bold, just have a wild match, without any scruples, watching Chu Yunmeng blush and heartbeat.

The dragon boat race that day was not held on a big river, but on a lake called Yuxiu Lake in the city.

One is that there are many winds and waves in the river, and the risk is high; the other is that the river is too wide and it is not convenient for the audience to watch.

This was also an important reason why Chu Yunmeng could see so many blushing and heartbeating scenes.

The area of ​​Yuxiu Lake is large enough and the water is deep enough, so there is no need to worry about running aground for dragon boat racing.

More importantly, several wooden bridges were erected on Yuxiu Lake, and pavilions were built at intervals on the wooden bridges.

Between the different wooden bridges, several corridors were built, some of which extended outwards, and some closed rest boxes were built, which are naturally suitable for watching dragon boat races.

At this moment, Chu Yunmeng couldn't help praising Li Delu for his proper handling of affairs.

On this day, Chu Yunmeng appeared in men's clothes as usual, but let Mai Mai help to make more decorations.

That morning, she got up early and asked Mai Mai, who is good at makeup, to make up for herself, making her eyebrows and eyes more handsome.

After turning into a handsome young man, Chu Yunmeng received many girls' winking eyes on the way to Yuxiu Lake.

When I came to the covered bridge on Yuxiu Lake, I saw that the dragon boat team of Yunmengju was already at the starting point and ready to go.

Different from other dragon boat teams with bare upper body, the dragon boat team of Yunmengju are all wearing blue bunts, which is not Chu Di's attire at first glance.

But with such a simple attire, it immediately compares to all the shirtless men around him.It's like a group of cranes walking into a flock of chickens, which is very conspicuous.

Among them, Gongshu Yao is the most dazzling.

Gong Shuyao stood at the bow of the boat, with a cloth scarf tied on his forehead representing Yunmengju, and the clothes he wore were different from those of other nursing homes in Yunmengju.

Although it is also close-fitting, it is obviously a lot longer, covering the hands and feet just right, a bit like an improved version of Beidi Hufu.

The close-fitting robe made Gong Shuyao's tall and straight figure even taller, making him look more graceful than usual.

On both sides of Gong Shuyao, Junior One and Eleven are also tall and straight, with energetic faces.

Although he was a little worse than Gong Shuyao, his temperament had already surpassed the people on the dragon boat around him by several blocks.

Looking at this team with such a temperament, Chu Yunmeng seemed to be looking at the little cabbages raised by him, which were very juicy.

She couldn't help showing her aunt's smile, feeling proud in her heart.

It seems that I have a good eye for picking people.

With the sound of a drum, hundreds of dragon boats rushed forward like arrows leaving the string.

Chu Yunmeng saw that at the moment when the starting drum sounded, Gong Shuyao waved the small flag in his hand, like a general giving orders on the battlefield, full of vigor.

The slightly raised forehead is tied with a scarf, like feather wings like light clouds, making people look like Dong Jun and Si Ming who have descended to the earth, cold and out of the dust, free and easy like the moon running among the clouds, and the stars chasing.

Yunmengju's dragon boat was just like Gongshuyao's, high-spirited, head held forward, over one cloud mountain after another, jumping over one wave after another.

These two chapters are still laying the groundwork, and the day after tomorrow should really reach the turning point.
