City: I have my own ideas for the facilities in my amusement park

Since the Dragon Boat Festival is so close, the External Relations Department cannot contact the Botanical Garden and Zoo about the greening and duck issues.

So Yang Fan planned to call Director Lin and Director Lu in person, so that the problem could be solved in the shortest possible time.

And this time it was based on "cooperation". He was not just buying other people's plants and ducks for free.

After all, Shendong Botanical Garden and Shendong Zoo are completely different in nature from Shendong Amusement Park. They are subordinate to the local government. Yang Fan must give them enough respect.

Because logically speaking, Shendong Amusement Park is just a profit-making organization, while Yang Fan is considered a businessman.

After communication, Director Lin and Director Lu readily agreed to Yang Fan's request, and the names of Shendong Botanical Garden and Shendong Zoo were naturally displayed on the background wall.

…

Time flies. In a flash, it’s the Dragon Boat Festival.

At ten o'clock in the morning, many tourists gathered at the edge of Li Lake.

Some little girls are so cute wearing Hanfu.

Some of the tourists want to participate in the dragon boat racing competition, while others want to come and witness the elegance of the water park in advance.

Before the dragon boat race, the host first introduced the guests present, and then began to talk about the custom of dragon boat racing and related allusions. The tourists present listened with interest.

After the host's speech, the game is about to begin.

The next step is to distribute life jackets to tourists who plan to participate in the dragon boat race.

Shendong Amusement Park also hired several senior coaches to explain some basic precautions for dragon boat racing to tourists participating in the competition.

As the tourists participating in the competition boarded the dragon boats one by one and held the paddles in their hands, the atmosphere at the scene became lively.

A cordon was set up around Li Lake, and amusement park staff were maintaining order to prevent onlookers from accidentally falling into the water.

"Buzz~"

A drone is also taking to the skies to take aerial photography.

The dragon boat race is divided into two events: men's 500 meters and women's 200 meters.

The track has been planned in advance on Lihu Lake.

Ten teams participated in each event, with each team consisting of eight people.

They will compete in two groups of five teams each.

The three teams with the best results will win the championship, runner-up and third place, while the others will receive commemorative awards.

The men's event takes the lead.

With the sound of a drum, the five dragon boats in the first group started to move.

Maybe it’s because most people are rowing dragon boats for the first time and are not very proficient. None of the five dragon boats are walking in a straight line.

"Ha ha!"

"really interesting!"

This also made the onlookers burst into laughter. Of course, they were not mocking, nor did they mean any harm. It's just a manifestation of the warm atmosphere.

Finally, as the game ends. The top three in the men's group and the top three in the women's group have been determined.

Yang Fan and two other district leaders presented awards to them and took a group photo.

The lively dragon boat race has also come to an end.

Next, everyone has to take a good rest. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, in the open space in front of the fairy tale castle in the main park, an exciting rice dumpling-making competition will begin.

…

Here in the main park, the logistics department moved all the materials needed for making zongzi as well as tables, chairs and cooking utensils to the location of the zongzi making activity.

Zongzi, also known as Zongzi in ancient China. It is a food made of steamed glutinous rice wrapped in rice dumpling leaves. It is one of the traditional foods of China.

Originally, rice dumplings were used as tributes to ancestors and gods. There is a legend that rice dumplings were passed down to commemorate Qu Yuan, who threw himself into the river.

There are many types of zongzi.

In terms of fillings, in the north of China there are jujube rice dumplings with jujubes or white rice dumplings without any addition; in the south there are various fillings such as mung beans, pork belly, bean paste, eight treasures, ham, mushrooms, egg yolks, etc.

In 2012, Zongzi was also selected as one of the delicacies in the documentary series "China on the Bite of the Tongue".

At one o'clock in the afternoon, many tourists gathered around the rice dumpling competition site.

The amusement park has prepared washed rice dumpling leaves and pre-soaked glutinous rice for visitors. Visitors can take whatever they want, wrap the rice dumplings, cook them in a small pot in front of them, or take them home.

If tourists want to participate in the rice dumpling-making competition, they need to choose the rice dumpling they think is the best and hand it over to the staff of the amusement park for evaluation by professional chefs in the canteen.

In the end, 1 person placed first, 3 people placed second, and 5 people placed third.

There are also many people among the tourists who are good at making rice dumplings, but everyone’s eyes are still on a few amusement park chefs.

The chefs, wearing white coats and chef hats, skillfully selected a few rice dumpling leaves and put them together.The rice dumpling leaves are staggered and folded, that is, the upper rice dumpling leaf presses half of the lower rice dumpling leaf.

Then fold the rice dumpling leaves into the shape of a funnel, put a small half of the glutinous rice soaked in advance, add a few red dates, and then put some glutinous rice to cover the red dates.

Finally, fold the rice dumpling leaves so that they completely cover the glutinous rice. Wrap the rice dumpling with cotton thread 4 to 5 times, and then tie it with a live buckle.

In this way, a beautifully shaped rice dumpling is wrapped.

Of course, this chef is making jujube rice dumplings.

Other chefs make different fillings, and naturally the materials they need to prepare are also different.

For example, for bacon rice dumplings, you need to mix fresh pork with a little MSG, sugar, wine, salt, and light soy sauce and rub it repeatedly until the seasonings penetrate into the pork before wrapping.

After a period of competition, each chef made 20 rice dumplings and began to steam them.

An hour later, the rice dumplings were all cooked, and the entire competition site was filled with the fragrance of rice dumpling leaves.

The cooked rice dumplings were distributed to the surrounding tourists.

In fact, the Shendong Amusement Park holds a rice dumpling-making competition not to determine which chef is better or which rice dumplings are more delicious.

It's just a gimmick to heighten the festive atmosphere.

As the rice dumplings were fished out of the pot one after another, the whole competition reached a climax, and the scene was filled with laughter.

This is the purpose of organizing programs and activities at Shendong Amusement Park, not only to let tourists experience the festive atmosphere, but also to make them feel relaxed and happy from the bottom of their hearts.

The night ended with a fireworks display.

The last event before the trial opening of the water park - the Dragon Boat Festival event has also officially come to an end.

Next, Shendong Amusement Park will usher in a new page.

Starting from Chapter 171, the water park area will be mainly described, similar to changing maps in fantasy novels.

The appearance rate of the main park will become lower, and it will appear occasionally. For example, the horror house and small roller coaster have not been completed yet. They will appear again when they are completed.
