Chapter 480： : Zongzi eating competition

Luo Yaoyao snorted proudly, raised the tea cup to her mouth, blew on it, took a sip, and smacked it, "Well, it's not bad."

Within half an hour, Shen Yizhi prepared a feast, moved the Eight Immortals table outside, and served all kinds of delicacies to the table.

Luo Yaoyao was shocked when he saw the purple crab in the middle, which was as big as a basin. "This crab is so big!"

Shen Yizhi introduced with a smile: "This is the king crab I brought back from Qiandao Lake. It is full of fat, fragrant and smooth, and it is delicious!"

Luo Yaoyao was drooling at what she said and couldn't help but take action.

Shen Yizhi: "Master, please don't worry, Mr. Cui hasn't arrived yet."

She has already asked Kun San to invite him.

When he left earlier, Cui Mi asked the old village chief to help him supervise the construction of the house. The house had been completed a long time ago, and the furniture and furnishings were all done. Shen Yizhi even planted many exotic flowers and plants in it. , and also set up dust-avoiding arrays, constant temperature arrays and other arrays to ensure that the house is clean and refreshing.

As expected, Cui Mi immediately fell in love with it as soon as he stepped into the house. He walked around in a circle and was even more satisfied.

I have been packing up my new home this day.

Hearing Kun Sanlai calling him to eat, he immediately put down a book he was about to put on the bookshelf, clapped his hands and walked out, "Let's go, let's go."

He didn't even open the door, and walked quickly towards Shen's house.

Kun San, who was left behind, couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and quickly followed.

As soon as he stepped into the Shen family's courtyard, Cui Mi smelled a strong fragrance, which made his temple of five internal organs immediately become noisy.

Luo Yaoyao greeted him: "I'm waiting for you, come and sit down quickly."

Cui Mi walked towards the sink: "I'll wash my hands and come right back."

The two old men sat at the head, Shen Yizhi's family of four sat next to each other, Kun San and Gan Wu sat down next to them, there were eight people at a table, looking at the delicious food on the table, start eating!

After eating, I looked up and saw that the sky was full of stars.

After clearing the table full of empty plates and empty bowls, the table was carried in, and several adults lay down comfortably on the lounge chairs, blowing the night breeze and chatting casually in the fragrant yard. The atmosphere was relaxed and leisurely.

The two children were on their own, exploring in secret corners.

Early the next morning, Xiao San handed over the activity planning document for the Dragon Boat Festival.

After Shen Yizhi looked at it, he gave full affirmation and praise, "Yes, that's it, but the amount of the reward for this dragon boat race can be adjusted appropriately."

For the first place, she changed the reward to 999 taels of silver, and added a Dragon Boat Festival gift on the basis of "one one-star ticket each for Mingyue Villa and one 20% off coupon for Mingyue Restaurant".

Second place will be awarded 888 taels, a coupon and a boxing gift.

The third place will be awarded 666 taels and a gift each.

As for the rice dumpling eating competition, there is no threshold and everyone can participate. The ranking will be based on the number of rice dumplings eaten. The first place will be awarded a gold bowl, the second place will be awarded a silver bowl, and the third place will be awarded a bronze bowl. Each has a gift.

There is no technical aspect to this competition, and for many people, being able to eat rice dumplings with an open belly is an attractive benefit in itself, so the rewards are lower.

Shen Yizhi mentioned to Xiao San that the college was going to hold a Cuju competition and asked him to include the details of the event.

Xiao San nodded and soon handed over a perfect event planning proposal.

"Okay, let's do it like this. You inform Xia Ming, and security will be done on the Dragon Boat Festival."

If Xiao San is equivalent to the actual manager of the entire Mo Qing City, then Xia Ming is the security captain. The two of them are both civil and military, and manage the entire Mo Qing City in an orderly manner, making it easy for her to be the hands-off manager. .

But then, she was still busy for several days.

Busy preparing a large amount of rice dumplings to be used in the rice dumpling eating competition.

She hired a group of hard-working women in the village, headed by Aunt Li, to help her. At the same time, she also taught a dozen puppets in the space and asked them to work overtime to complete the work.

The wrapped rice dumplings are steamed directly in a constant-burning cauldron. Steaming a large bucket at once is not a problem.

The kind of bucket that is as big as a bathtub.

After steaming, put it into a storage bag, one of each flavor, the sweet ones include candied rice dumplings, bean paste rice dumplings, red date rice dumplings, etc., the salty ones include ham rice dumplings, egg yolk rice dumplings, bacon rice dumplings...there are twenty or thirty kinds of them. .

This should be enough, right?

Shen Yizhi thought to himself.

If it's not enough, then let the puppets in the space be wrapped up now. Anyway, their hands are very fast, and their work efficiency is really impressive.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen Yizhi also made a large number of incense sticks.

Mix several spices ground into powder such as realgar, lily, cypress, and patchouli, add clear and sweet spring water, add a few drops of spiritual spring, medicinal spring, and knead the spices together like flour. The dough is then allowed to ferment naturally for a period of time, and then placed in a steaming medium to heat it, so that the flavors of various medicinal aromas are neutralized together.

After steaming for about four hours, you can take out the incense stick, press the incense stick into threads with a mold, dry it in the shade, and test one stick.

If the green smoke rises straight up when the incense burns and does not float around, then it means that the incense is ready.

Shen Yizhi named the incense "Chongwuxiang", which means the incense is burned specially on the Dragon Boat Festival.

This is a kind of medicinal fragrance. The breath after burning has the effect of repelling insects and toxins, calming the nerves and calming the mind. When inhaled, it can detoxify and drive away diseases.

The heavy use of five spices is an important part of the festival preparations she prepares.

Early on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen Yizhi asked Kun San and Qian Wu to deliver festival gifts to familiar households and people in the village.

In the festival, in addition to the five spices, there is also a box of rice dumplings, a letter of pastries and a basket of fresh fruits.

The news that Moqing City is going to hold a rice dumpling eating competition, a dragon boat race and a Cuju competition has long spread to villages and towns within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the city is very lively early in the morning.

The dragon boat race starts at 9 a.m., the Cuju competition starts at 3 p.m., and the rice dumpling eating competition is held all day long. Sign up at any time and you can start eating at any time!

The venue of the dragon boat race is, needless to say, Tianzhou Lake. Temporary stands have been set up by the lake for people to watch the race.

The Cuju competition was held on the playground of the college, and rows of seats were arranged around it.

As for the rice dumpling eating competition, several platforms were specially built throughout the city as a base.

In the big wooden barrel on the stage, the rice dumplings were piled up like a mountain, and they were all standing on their tops. There are five such large wooden barrels on the stage.

Those who signed up for the competition have already gathered around the barrel and started eating rice dumplings.

Each rice dumpling is tied with a red rope, and the contestants must hand the red rope to the counting referee.

In addition, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, several photo stones were placed on each stage to record the entire situation on the stage.
