Rebirth of the little peasant girl

Chapter 46 Good and Bad
"Hehe, Yan'er, long time no see!"

The young man in the tea stall said with a smile.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Han Yan walked to Han Yi's side, and asked curiously, did something happen to her herbal tea?
The person who came was Xiao Zhao from Youranju, the young man who led Han Yan and the others when they went to Youranju for the first time.

Later they found out that Xiao Zhao was not only the waiter of Youranju, but also the nephew of Tao Liu, the owner of Youranju. He came to visit his uncle during the summer vacation and went to Youranju for an internship.

"Hello, big brother."

Han Wen and Han Wu also followed Liang Xin over.

"Is this the lotus that Yan'er participated in in the "Lotus Fighting Competition" this year?"

Xiao Zhao looked at the potted lotus in Han Wen's arms and asked with interest.

He listened to his uncle's order today, and came to Xiaohan Village to discuss the matter of herbal tea. He was not very happy at first, because the road here was difficult to walk, and it was almost ten o'clock when he set off, and the weather was hot. , He was in a bad mood along the way.

Unexpectedly, when he came to the village, he saw the welcome banner outside Xiaohan Village. Only then did he know that today is the Lotus Harvest Festival in Xiaohan Village. After entering the village, he saw many tourists in the village. The "Lotus Fighting Competition" is going on, but unfortunately he came a bit late and the competition is over.

He asked the people in the village and found the tea stand of Han Yi's family. Han Yi and Liang Xin warmly received him. Before he could say the purpose of coming here today, the chubby boy was jumping and running After entering, he learned that the little girl who impressed him last time also participated in this competition, and she seems to have won a good ranking!
Han Wen looked at his parents, and put the potted lotus in his arms on the table next to Xiao Zhao.

"It's really small and exquisite. You can grow lotus flowers so well in such a small pot. Yan'er is amazing!"

Xiao Zhao looked at it carefully for a while, even stroked the green lotus leaf with his hand, and said in admiration.

He lives in the north, and lotus is very rare. Only when he was traveling, he saw a lot of lotus planted in the pond. Like Han Yan, he planted lotus in such a small pot, and he also raised it. It's so good, it's the first time I've seen it.

"My sister entered the top ten today. She can participate in this year's finals. Brother Zhao, are you here to see my sister's competition?"

Han Wu leaned on his father Han Yi's body, the chubby face was still beaded with sweat from running just now, looked at Xiao Zhao, and said happily, with excitement in his expression.

Although his younger sister is only four years old this year, she is better than many girls in the village. The lotus flower she raised has been recognized by everyone, and he feels very proud.

"What about the final?"

Hearing that the game was not over yet, Xiao Zhao asked with interest.

"It's the final of the "Lotus Fighting Competition". Tomorrow, it will be held by the Shili River Pond in the village. The ten girls who passed the final inspection today will have a final evaluation tomorrow to see who has the better lotus. A favorite of butterflies that live in Shilihe Pond."

Seeing that Xiao Zhao was obviously interested in the "Lotus Fighting Competition" in the village, Han Yi explained in detail.

"Does the butterfly judge? It's a very novel way. How did it come about?"

After listening to Han Yi's words, Xiao Zhao said curiously.

He has never heard of butterflies liking lotus flowers and using them as a criterion for whether a lotus flower is good or not. Is this a unique tradition in Xiaohan Village?
Han Wen, Han Wu, and Han Yan also sat on the chairs beside the table, each holding a cup of herbal tea, listening quietly to the conversation between the adults.

In fact, Han Yan is also full of curiosity about the "Lotus Fighting Competition" in the village. She wants to know more about the "Lotus Fighting Competition" in the village, such as why the ancestral hall is opened every year, and lotus seeds are enshrined in the ancestral hall to pray for blessings. Three days, and then give it to the children in the village, and why only girls can participate in the competition, and how did the ancient lotus seed in the previous life come from?
In her previous life, she seldom went out because of her poor health. She did not participate in the "Lotus Fighting Competition" in the village for various reasons. Later, her parents gave her the mysterious lotus seed as a birthday present. She just cared about taking care of Lianzi. Until she left her hometown Xiaohan Village because she went to school, she didn't know much about the traditions in the village.

Could it be that there are any magical stories and legends in it?
Seeing the puzzled look on Xiao Zhao's face and the curious looks of his own children, Han Yi pondered for a while, then said:
"There is nothing magical about it. Everything comes from a long-standing legend in the village. There is no actual basis. It's just that the people of Xiaohan Village have followed it from generation to generation."

When Han Yi said this, he stopped, as if he was thirsty, he picked up the herbal tea in the teacup and drank it.

"What kind of legend is it, Dad? Is it the same as the fairy tale told by Grandpa Goat?"

When Han Wu heard another story, he finally couldn't bear his lively temper, and took the initiative to ask questions.

He likes listening to the stories told by Grandpa Goat the most, which are always full of magical legends and great heroes.

Han Yan also looked at her father intently, wanting to know the magical origin of the lotus in Xiaohan Village. Could her mysterious lotus space be related to the legend of the lotus in the village?
"Uncle Han, just tell me, I'm also curious."

He also wanted to know what was so mysterious about the lotus in Xiaohan Village.

"This is a story passed down from generation to generation by the old people in Xiaohan Village. Dad was also a child. By chance, I heard from your great-grandfather. It is said that the "Lotus Fighting Competition" in our village is because of this ancient legend. It will be passed on forever.”

"It is said that a long time ago, people in Xiaohan Village lived a life of farming and hunting. Because there is a big river pond in our village, people can raise fish and plant lotus roots in the river pond, so people in the village live daily. Life is okay, when children are hungry, they can catch a fish to satisfy their hunger, and in autumn, they can harvest a lot of lotus roots."

"At that time, the lotus flowers in Xiaohan Village were already very famous. Almost every household grew lotus flowers, especially the girls in the village. They were skilled at growing lotus flowers, picking lotus seeds, and digging lotus roots."

"One summer, there was a severe drought, and almost all the crops in Xiaohan Village withered. As the drought became more serious, the river ponds in the village also dried up day by day. There was no food and water. Only died of thirst and starvation, and the villagers felt the threat of death."

"Just when the people in the village were about to lose their lives, a miracle happened. The lotus in the river pond, which had withered long ago, came back to life overnight, and there was clear river water in the dry lotus pond again. , people in the village relied on lotus root and lotus seeds to survive the crisis and survived."

"To commemorate the life of the lotus, the people in the village built an ancestral hall, enshrined lotus statues, and passed down the skills of picking lotus and raising lotus from generation to generation. There is a lotus raising competition every year. The winner You can get a lotus seed left by the magical lotus as a reward, but it is a pity that no matter how people plant it, the lotus seeds that were picked during the crisis did not germinate."

"This custom has reached today, and there is the unique lotus harvest festival in Xiaohan Village, as well as the "Lotus Fighting Competition". Every year, the final winner of the competition can get an ancient lotus seed handed down from his ancestors. A badge of honour."

Han Yi said that he stopped here, picked up his teacup to drink water, and signaled to everyone that the story was over here.

"It turns out that the Lotus Harvest Festival and the "Lotus Fighting Competition" in your Xiaohan Village have a certain history. No wonder there are so many lotuses planted in the Shilihe Pond in the village, and every household will grow lotus."

Xiao Zhao sighed after listening.

Han Yan sat there quietly, trying hard to digest the news she just received.

If the legend is true, then the lotus flower that bloomed overnight should be the magical ancient lotus. As for the water that suddenly appeared, could it be the spiritual spring in the lotus space?
But since Gu Lian had opened up a long time ago, how could it become what it is now.

Also, in my previous life, I had never participated in the "Lotus Fighting Competition", let alone won the final No. 1, so where did my parents find that magical lotus seed?
So many people have obtained the ancient lotus seeds, have they all had the lotus space, or is it only their own lotus that is special?
Although I know some things I didn't know before, it seems that there are more mysteries, Han Yan thought in confusion.

There was a moment of silence in the tea stall, only Liang Xin's voice greeting the guests came from outside from time to time.

It was almost noon, and the weather became hotter, and the herbal tea business was gradually booming.

"Xiao Zhao, what are you doing here this time?"

For no reason, he wouldn't come here to listen to his story, right? Han Yi looked at the young man in front of him and asked.

"Ah, Uncle Han didn't mention it. I almost forgot. My uncle asked me to come here. He asked me to tell Uncle Han to find time to go to Youranju. He has something to discuss with Uncle Han."

Xiao Zhao smiled embarrassedly. He never thought that he was so curious about the Lotus Harvest Festival in Xiaohan Village that he almost forgot the business that his uncle told him.

"Boss Tao asked you to come, let me go, is it about the herbal tea?"

Hearing that the boss of Youranju sent someone to find him, Han Yi's heart skipped a beat, maybe something happened to his herbal tea.

"I don't know. Uncle just asked me to say something, so that Uncle Han can come over as soon as possible."

At the same time, the bamboo curtain of the tea stall was raised, and Liang Xin's voice came.

"Yan'er, someone wants to buy our herbal tea!"
