Changshui Village Farming Notes

Chapter 415 Dragon Boat Festival Event (Four in One)

Finally, when Mr. Yin returned home, he brought back nothing but a box of fresh red bayberries.

His wife asked him, "Didn't you go to buy zongzi? Why did you only buy this one?"

"The Suiyuan zongzi are all delivered, I have to wait until tomorrow to buy them."

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Changshui Village held another grand Dragon Boat Festival event.

Because this year is a critical year for the development of tourism in Changshui Village, the village chief attaches great importance to every opportunity to enhance the reputation of Changshui Village, and the Dragon Boat Festival is no exception.

Like last Labor Day, Changshui Village invited craftsmen from Shiliba Village to set up stalls in the village.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Changshui Village also has many customs, such as distributing sachets, hanging banyan branches and wormwood, hanging purses, and tying five-color silk threads. Therefore, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many stalls selling these.

In Moon Bay, Gu Kuangyun also cut a lot of herbs on the mountain a few days ago, including mugwort, calamus, and lemongrass, and Lin Shuhua went to the village to set up a stall to sell them today.

May is the alternation season between spring and summer. Yang Qi rises and all things grow, but various bacteria also multiply and breed. Therefore, people have formed the custom of planting Aipu on the Dragon Boat Festival to drive away disasters and evil spirits and pray for peace.

Lin Shuhua is also doing business for the first time, and he is very interested. He has prepared small umbrellas, small benches, and small fans in advance. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Changshui Village is scorching hot. If you don’t make some preparations in advance, there are very few ordinary people Can last that long under the scorching sun.

The small market at the entrance of the village during the Dragon Boat Festival is as lively as Qingyang Town during the Chinese New Year.

Small vendors from all over the world have come here, some selling trinkets, some selling sugar paintings, rings, and balloons. Many traditional crafts that cannot be seen in the city can be seen today, and there are many There are many small stalls that are born in accordance with the seasons, such as Lin Shuhua who sells herbal medicines, as well as Dragon Boat Festival sachets and colorful thread.

Many tourists who come to play also do as the Romans do. When visiting, many adults wear sachets on their waists, and children wear colorful silk threads on their hands.

The village head said that holding such activities frequently is very beneficial for us to inherit and carry forward the traditional culture.

Now many young people in the city have never experienced such a traditional festival celebration, so Changshui Village held the Dragon Boat Festival this time, which attracted many tourists from other places.

The times are advancing without stopping at all. Traditional festivals are gradually being materialized. We have become commercial spectators. Commerce seems to deprive us of all traditional cultural participation capabilities except shopping. The commercial connotation is getting closer and closer to us. The cultural connotation and We drift away.

In the chaotic and anxious modern society, the Dragon Boat Festival has left us a good tradition of eliminating fire, expelling evil spirits, and keeping our spirits clear.

Gu Kuangyun said that listening to Jun's words is better than reading ten years of books!It really deserves to be used to mass work.

Changshui Village is near the sea, has a wide sea area, and has the prerequisites for holding dragon boat races.

Because of Han's support, the leaders of the county now don't dare to make plans for Changshui Village. Instead, they still have a very supportive attitude towards Changshui Village's tourism development plan.

After all, in the past, Changshui Village had no backing and could be flattened and rounded by them. It is different now, with the backing of the Han Group. Needless to say, the development of tourism will definitely be successful, and it was not at the mercy of them. poor village.

Another thing is that the dragon boat race held in other towns in previous years was changed to Changshui Village this year because of the "guiding opinions" of the county.

The track is from the pier in the south of the village to the pier in the north of the village. The sea situation is more unpredictable than the river. Sometimes it looks calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents under the sea surface, so it is very important for the contestants to paddle higher technical requirements.

Because the water area is wider, the audience is also particularly exciting to watch.

The Changshui Village Dragon Boat Race is scheduled to be held from the first to the fifth day of the fifth lunar month this year. In the morning from the first to the fourth day of the lunar new year, the gong will start at [-]:[-] a.m. every half hour, with four games in the morning and four in the afternoon. Eight rounds will determine the eight teams participating in the finals.

On the day of the finals of the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather in Changshui Village was indeed sunny and sunny, but because there were too many people on the shore, the spectators had to pile up on top of each other, looking inside and outside.

Some tourists feel that it is not enjoyable to watch on the shore, so they simply rent a small boat to swim to the middle of the sea, and follow the action of the dragon boat team to watch it closely.

The lively dragon boat race naturally also attracts many photographers, the beautiful towering dragon body and head, the water waves stirred up by the oars, the crisp and loud gongs and drums, the neat and vigorous rowing posture, and the joy on the shore. The cheering crowd is the moment that photographers like to capture most.

And the boys in the dragon boat race are more concerned about their popularity, spirit, team spirit, and unyielding disposition of dragon boat racers.

This year, Changshui Village also organized a dragon boat rowing team, but because it was the first time to participate, they were eliminated on the first day of the competition.

Everyone was very disappointed. The boys of the dragon boat team were not convinced, and said that they would train hard next year and strive to win a championship.

The village chief was very satisfied with their morale, and promised that if they won the championship next year, the village would give them red envelopes.

In Changshui Village, each household has to pick herbs and boil water for bathing during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Most people prepare a small handful of various herbs at home or go to the mountains to collect them or buy them on the street. After eating, they boil a large pot of water with the herbs for the whole family to take a bath and pray for the well-being of the four seasons.

The water boiled with herbs is blue-yellow in color and has a light fragrance. Taking a bath with the water boiled with this herb leaves a lingering fragrance on the body and refreshes the mind.

In the evening, Moon Bay also provides medicated baths. If tourists want to experience the feeling of Dragon Boat medicated baths, they can also experience it.

During this period of time, the herbs on the mountain matured a lot, and Master Yang picked a lot and made herbal tea.

Dragon Boat Festival tea has the effects of clearing heat and relieving heat, promoting body fluids and quenching thirst, preventing disease and keeping fit, beautifying and beautifying skin, and expelling evil spirits.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, vine tea is green, honeysuckle is fragrant, calamus is in full bloom, rushes are in clusters, houttuynia is everywhere, litsea cubeba seeds are hanging on the branches...

Every household in Changshui Village will go up the mountain to follow their own traditions to pick various herbs, wash them, dry them in the sun, cut them into small pieces, and make dry tea for a year.

Now the honeysuckle that Lin Dongqing had transplanted before also played a role. Not only did it smell fragrant in the yard, but the flower buds that grew out were also used to make herbal tea.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the zongzi business of the online shop has also come to an end. Since yesterday, there is no longer making zongzi on Moon Bay.

Chen Yuhang has recently made a fortune selling zongzi, and everyone smiles when he sees it.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Kuangyun killed a pig to make zongzi, so the remaining pig bones were used to make soup. Everyone drank the broth, and Gong Xi Fa Cai and Da Ju gnawed on the bone sweetly.

It is said that the two dogs that Han Qingyi gave Gu Kuangyun were border herds, but the ones raised by the Gu family were similar to Chinese garden dogs, and they ate the same food as humans. Gu Kuangyun sometimes fed them dog food, They are not very willing to eat.

Since the sale of bayberries on the mountain started, the sales volume has not been bad. Gu Kuangyun calculated that the money from selling zongzi and selling bayberries this time should be able to repay the 100 million loan.

However, Gu Kuangyun still planned to keep some red bayberry to do other things.

Although the bayberry on the mountain grows well, there are always some short melons and bad dates. Although these taste not bad, but because of their poor quality, they cannot be sold at a high price. Gu Kuangyun thought, how can we let them Can increase the value.

"Brother Long, can you give me a channel, I want to buy some better white wine." After dinner and soup, Gu Kuangyun asked Fatty Wang, who came to give gifts during the Dragon Boat Festival and eat and drink.

This person is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas in Suiyuan, but he still has such a big appetite when he comes to Moon Bay.

Just before Gu Kuangyun asked this question, Fatty Wang had just finished eating three zongzi and drank a bowl of bone soup, and now he was gnawing on a roasted chicken leg!
Not to mention, the chicken raised on the mountain tastes really chewy.

"Why do you buy liquor?" Fatty Wang asked, could it be that this little Yun girl is lucky to drink a little wine on weekdays.

"Aren't there a lot of bad-looking bayberries on the mountain? Anyway, they can't be sold at a good price, so I'm going to make some bayberry wine with them." Gu Kuangyun said, her mother used to make bayberry wine often, and she liked it a lot. of.

Fatty Wang's eyes lit up, and he squinted happily, "Yangmei wine is good! It's just the kind of wine that almost ladies in our Suiyuan can drink. The imported foreign wines in the store are not high-strength, and some beauties who come here don't like it. Drink, if you have this bayberry wine, this problem can be considered solved."

"Brother Long, can you solve it?" Gu Kuangyun urged, let's talk about business.

"Of course! Who are you, Brother Long?" Fatty Wang patted his chest and assured, "Sister Xiaoyun, when the wine is ready, you must sell me more! Brother Wang will never treat you badly. "

"Xiao Yun, what kind of fat man are you looking for for such a thing! What does he know about selling fruit? Don't spend the money and buy some fake wine." At this moment, Master Yang interrupted suddenly.

"Master Yang, you've wronged me." Fatty Wang shouted innocently. He didn't do anything, so he wronged him for buying fake wine.

"Xiaoyun, don't listen to him, listen to me." Master Yang ignored Fatty Wang who was complaining, and said to Gu Kuangyun on his own.

Gu Kuangyun gave Fatty Wang a helpless smile, turned to Master Yang and said, "Master Yang, tell me."

"Hey, Xiaoyun, let me tell you, I know a place that sells wine. Although this winery is not well-known, it is a time-honored brand that has cooperated with us for decades. Fangzi has been used for several generations, and the partners are all old restaurants in the provincial capital. Now the manager is my friend for many years. He is good at craftsmanship, but he is old now and has no mind to take care of the business, so he was not introduced by an acquaintance. He won't sell it, and I won't introduce him to ordinary people." Master Yang started talking like a storyteller.

When Gu Kuangyun heard this, he was relieved. Even Master Yang praised it so much, so the quality must not be bad.

After Master Yang finished speaking, he went back to the back yard, and came back with a business card after a while. Gu Kuangyun took it and looked at it. It was a business card with only a name and a string of phone numbers on it.

Gu Kaiyang, 187xxxxxxxx.

Then Master Yang handed over the phone again, "Xiaoyun, come and call me. I'm old and my eyesight is not very good, so I can't see the keyboard."

Gu Kuangyun took the phone and dialed it out. After a few beeps, an old man's angry voice sounded, "Hello, who is it?"

Master Yang took the mobile phone quickly, and also roared in anger, "Old Gu, it's me, Old Yang."

"It's you, Lao Yang. It's been a long time since I've seen you. You, Zuiyunxuan, can't open it. Where are you going to make a fortune?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I retired, and now I'm recuperating in the countryside!"

"Country? The country is good, the air is fresh, unlike here, the whole room smells of alcohol."

Master Yang laughed loudly, "You old drunkard still dislikes the smell of alcohol, I see, you really want to get into the wine!"

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, tell me, what do you want from me?"

"What else can you do with your old drunkard, of course it is to buy wine!"

"How much?" asked the old man.

"Tell me first, what is the current price of your wine there." Master Yang said, he is also a veteran of wine buying, and he knows what price can buy good wine.

"Pure sorghum wine, 41 catties."

Gu Kuangyun has no research on baijiu, and he doesn't know if the price is suitable, so he can only rely on Master Yang to give him an idea.

Master Yang nodded slightly to her, indicating that the price is suitable.

Lao Gu is not like other unscrupulous wineries. He said that if he uses good grain, it must be good grain.

"Okay, Gu, it's a conscience price."

"You don't flatter me, just say it, how much do you want?"

Master Yang didn't know, he looked up at Gu Kuangyun.

Gu Kuangyun thought about it, and to be honest, she didn't know how much white wine was needed to make bayberry wine, but
"Master Yang, let's ask for a thousand catties first, if it's not enough for us to buy it, okay?" Gu Kuangyun said hesitantly, very uncertain.

Master Yang nodded in agreement, and said to Gu Gu on the other end of the phone, "I want a thousand catties first, and this time I'm sending me a valued junior, so don't give me short catties or two! Why don't you just send it to me? I'll treat you to dinner."

"I'm old, I don't want to move." An ancient and slow voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, old drunkard, what's the point of staying in your wine cellar for a day! Come to my place, I'll show you around and enjoy the sea breeze." Master Yang said.

"Okay, Lao Yang, and take me to enjoy the sea breeze. It seems that you are having a good life!" said the old man on the other end of the phone.

"So, I let you come, that's the deal, you come with me when the wine is delivered. Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, hang up."
