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

Chapter 87 Dragon Boat Race (3)

At the moment when the drum beat at the starting point, there was a rumbling drum sound around. It was the drummers on the dragon boat who were shouting and cheering for the oarsmen on their own boats.

In the process of dragon boat racing, drummers seem to be ineffective, but their importance is self-evident. They are almost the soul of the entire dragon boat and hold the breath of the entire team.

Because the drummer's drum rhythm controls the oarsman's paddling rhythm.Whether the oarsmen move in unison or at a loose pace, whether they press forward or slack, is almost entirely up to the drummer.

But in the background of the rumbling drums all over the sky, Chu Yunmeng immediately caught the drums on Yunmengju's dragon boat.

The voice was stronger, more intense, and more rhythmic than those of other dragon boat teams, so she recognized it immediately.

I saw Gong Shuyao holding a drumstick in his hand, and with a seemingly inadvertent hammer, the drum sounded heavily, piercing the drum surface and shaking people's minds. With an absolute advantage, he suppressed the sound of the surrounding drums.

The momentum is overwhelming and the rhythm is tight, just like the sound of war drums on the battlefield. The thunder and thunder of the drums arouse people's blood.

Gong Shuyao and the entire fleet seemed to be integrated with the dragon boat. With the sound of dense drums, they were as light as a swallow and as graceful as a dragon swimming, breaking through the waves, chasing the clouds and chasing the moon.

Among the hundreds of dragon boats, Yunmengju's dragon boat looks particularly nimble and chic, singing softly like a real dragon, with its head raised up, as if it is about to fly into the sky.

But Gong Shuyao, who was in charge of all this, had a leisurely and elegant demeanor, as if the violent drumming was not from him.

Looking at her with her forehead shawl fluttering and fluttering like a fairy, Chu Yunmeng's mind also drifted into the sky.

Floating, floating, floating, she seemed to be floating into the distance with the flying forehead scarf, the continuous sound of drums, and the cool breeze blowing on her face.

First, they drifted in the direction they were traveling with the dragon boat.

Yunmengju's dragon boat rode Juechen to the lake's counter case, and then took the lead in returning with a beautiful turn.

Chu Yunmeng's mind also turned around and continued to float with Yunmengju's dragon boat.

At this time, there seemed to be soft whispers and fluttering prayers in my ears.

A wrinkled face appeared in front of my eyes, from far to near, every wrinkle on the face could be seen clearly.

The chapped lips moved up and down quickly, and the fine prayer sounds seemed to turn into a series of dense notes, overflowing from the old mouth, and drifting in all directions.

As the sound of prayer got closer and clearer, Chu Yunmeng felt as if his head was about to explode, and a similar image flashed in his mind.

In that picture, there is also a person painted in oil paint, wearing a feather crown, dancing up and down, and opening and closing his lips, as if he is also praying.

In the dark, the voice of the old prayer became louder and louder, as if the voice of the old man was right next to his ears.

At this moment, her head felt like being pricked by a needle, and a strong suction dragged her in an unknown direction.

Just when the sharp stabbing pain made her unbearable, and she seemed to be dragged away, a loud noise woke her up from the trance of pain.

"Look, look, they're back!" The cries of surprise were mixed with screams and cheers.

Chu Yunmeng let out a long breath of relief, and his mind turned around.

Looking back, I saw that the dragon boat team had already gone halfway on the return voyage.Among them, the dragon boat of Yunmengju is still at the forefront.

Chu Yunmeng didn't care about recalling the weird experience just now, so she quickly collected her mind, turned around and got off the corridor bridge, and walked towards the starting point of the dragon boat race.

There, Mai Mai should have displayed the mung bean soup prepared by Yunmengju long ago to reward the "soldiers" that Yunmengju went to war; and also to further promote Yunmengju.

***********
At that time, people's staple food was beans, millet, millet, wheat, and bean. Among them, bean was soybean, because it was not picky about the growth environment, so it was the most important staple food besides millet.

Among the beans, mung beans, black beans, and red beans are the most common.

But these beans are used as staple food, appearing on the table with not rich dishes in this era, and other tricks rarely appear.

This time, during the training of the dragon boat team, I gave some simple ice bowls of cold water, and everyone received unanimous praise.

After careful questioning, it was discovered that people at this time, except for three meals a day, had almost never eaten any fancy dishes.

This is why Yunmengju is so popular.

The dishes are novel in variety and in novel ways, and occasionally you can eat fish and shrimp and other dishes that rarely appear on the common people's table, and the price is also within an acceptable range.

So she thought, desserts made from this kind of staple food should also be very marketable.

Especially on this hot summer day, after a large group of shirtless and sweaty rowing dragon boats ate, she believed that not only the common people in Yingdu, but also the nobles would like it very much.

The mung bean soup she made is not the kind that only sees clear soup, mung bean skin, but not many mung beans. honey.

If mung bean soup is really successful in the Yingdu market, she will consider adjusting the management direction of Yunmengju.

Just as I was thinking, there was a burst of screams everywhere, presumably a dragon boat had already reached the finish line.

"It's Yunmengju!"

"There is also Deyue Tower and Zhaixing Pavilion!"

There are endless discussions all around.Chu Yunmeng quickened his pace and hurried to the starting point.

I saw that the canopy of Yunmengju's mung bean soup cart had been set up, and a group of people headed by the Yunmengju team had crowded to the side of the tent, waiting for the soup to be distributed, and at the same time waiting for the final closing ceremony and awarding ceremony.

With the "leader sheep" demonstrating, more and more "sheep" followed suit.

"What is going on over there, why are there so many people?"

"It seems that Yunmengju is giving away summer heat soup for free..."

"Yunmengju? That's a good place. It's said that the food is delicious!" Someone jumped happily: "Let's go and have a look!"

More and more people crowded beside the hood of Yunmengju.

On the other side, Li Delu, who wanted to wait for all the dragon boat teams to arrive before announcing the prizes and nouns, waited for a long time but did not wait for the neatly assembled dragon boat team.

Chu Yunmeng was far away, so he asked someone to call Chuyi, and after whispering to him, he continued to observe from a distance.

As before, she continued to hide behind the scenes, did not make public appearances in front of others, kept a low profile and reduced risks.

Not long after returning to the hood on the first day of the new year, Mai Mai began to guide the crowd gathered in front of the hood and moved to the organizer's stage.

"Fellow folks, the heat-relieving soup provided by Yunmengju today is enough. Please go to the guild stage first. Those who win the prizes will take the prizes first, and then come here to get the free heat-relieving soup, okay?"

Mai Mai persuaded loudly, and at the same time stopped the distribution work at hand.

Mai Mai was actually a little puzzled by Chu Yunmeng's decision, but she still carried it out without hesitation.

In fact, Chu Yunmeng was not worried at all about such an interruption, and he would not be able to get together later.

There are several dragon boat teams that arrived in advance, and the publicity purpose of Yunmengju has basically been achieved.

If it continues to consume, Li Delu's platform will be dismantled, and the peace she wants will definitely be compromised in the future.

Although she was not afraid of Li Delu at the Catering Guild in Yingdu, but in business, harmony makes money.

Chu Yunmeng always kept this in mind.
