The cicadas on the roadside started chirping!
Cicada~ The cicada kept shouting, seeming to be singing her farewell shengxiao!
Watching the three people's car go away, they didn't look back until they were out of sight!
"Crash..."
The waves were loud and crashing against the shore!
The waves rush onto the beach, then quickly recede, repeating themselves over and over again.
Stack after stack of waves lap at the coast and beach tirelessly, and they will not stop just because someone leaves.
At this moment, the sun is high, the temperature is rising, the clouds on the sea have dispersed, and one or two seabirds can occasionally be seen flying under the blue sky.
Today, the two lotus flowers in the lotus pond bloomed, one pink and one pink-white!
It opens very beautifully!
"Let's go, the flower seedlings have been sent. Go and plant flowers. After today's work, we will continue to go to sea tomorrow when the weather is fine." Chen Xiaoyun said.
Today we sent three more carts of flower seedlings.
Flowers and plants must be planted on both sides of the road around the B&B.
They spent so much money, and if they don't build it better, they won't be able to afford the money spent.
Many of the flower seedlings delivered today are ones that Chen Xiaoyun has never seen before.
After a busy day, I planted all the flower seedlings.
When they were first planted, they looked just like that, with just a little more green.
It will take a while for these flowers to grow and flourish, and then they will look good.
The B&B is almost built, and it looks like it will be completed in about ten days at most.
The decoration is in the style of a retro farmhouse. Once the decoration is completed, water and electricity are installed, and ventilation is provided for a period of time, it will be ready for habitation.
After Lin Wanyu and others left, the place at Chen Xiaoyun's house became much quieter.
In the evening, he had some dinner by himself. He originally thought about playing a game, but thought better of it.
Lying on the bed, playing fast music for a while, I went to bed early today.
…
When I woke up the next morning, the weather was not very good. It was hazy and it looked like it was going to rain lightly.
As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, the weather may be rainy for several days.
Chen Xiaoyun drank Lingquan water and practiced vomiting for a week, then got up and washed up.
It was raining outside.
I went to feed the chickens, ducks and geese. The weather was bad, so Chen Xiaoyun didn't drive the chickens, ducks and geese out.
"Meow……"
Lai Wang followed Chen Xiaoyun back, and Chen Xiaoyun cooked Balang fish for Lai Wang, Hei Zai and the others.
He also fried two tuna steaks, blanched a bowl of noodles, and had a casual breakfast.
It was raining lightly outside, and the sea was also hazy.
By noon, the rain stopped.
But the sky is still gloomy!
After lunch, Chen Xiaohu and Chen Xiaonan came over to his house.
"Brother Xiaoyun, let's go buy rice dumpling leaves and bring them back to make rice dumplings." The two came over and asked Chen Xiaoyun to buy rice dumpling leaves.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. How can we not make and cook rice dumplings?
"Let's go!"
The three of them drove to the town and saw someone selling rice dumpling leaves.
After buying a lot of rice dumpling leaves, Chen Xiaoyun planned to make two big pots of rice dumplings.
"Brother Xiaoyun, what flavors are you planning to pack?" Chen Xiaohu asked.
There are many kinds of rice dumplings here, including meat rice dumplings, egg yolk rice dumplings, chicken rice dumplings, duck meat rice dumplings, seafood rice dumplings...
Anyway, you can make whatever flavor you want, there’s nothing to be particular about.
You can put a lot of ingredients into one rice dumpling!
However, the taste is salty, and there are no sweet rice dumplings here in Nanguang Province.
"Put a little of whatever flavor you want, and whatever you want to eat." Chen Xiaoyun didn't hesitate.
The three of them went to buy glutinous rice, millet, red beans, egg yolks, duck egg yolks, meat, shrimps, crabs, scallops, abalone...
I bought a lot, the quantity is huge!
Enough for a village to make rice dumplings.
"Buy so much?" Chen Xiaohu looked a little stunned.
"Go back and ask the villagers to cook it together. Under the big tree in the village square, or in your yard, cook four or five pots for everyone to eat together." Chen Xiaoyun said nonchalantly.
It doesn’t cost much to buy these things.
"also!"
Chen Xiaohu nodded. In the past few years, the Dragon Boat Festival in the village has not been as lively as before.
When making zongzi, they also make some ordinary zongzi and eat them, and their living standards cannot keep up.
How can I be willing to buy so much seafood and make rice dumplings like them?
The dragon boat team in their village is gone. The young people have gone out, leaving only the old, weak, women and children in the village.
In the past, we could even form a dragon boat team and go to the county to participate in competitions.
After returning to the village, Chen Xiaoyun asked the village chief to inform the villagers that if they had time, they could come to Chen Xiaohu's house to help make rice dumplings.
Chen Xiaonan also called his mother to help make rice dumplings.
"Hey, after buying so much, how much do you want to pack?"
An aunt came to help and saw Chen Xiaoyun and the others buying a lot as if they were purchasing goods.
"Let's make the bags together and take some home to eat as a family." Chen Xiaoyun said with a smile.
After a while, a dozen aunts, uncles, and grandparents came, too.
I heard it was Chen Xiaoyun who shouted, "Everyone who's okay is here."
Looking at the rice and red beans being washed, there are big pots and big pots.
"This is how much we have to pack and get so much." Uncle Minhuai said.
"It's all wrapped up and will be cooked when the time comes. Each family in the village will give a few away." Chen Xiaoyun and the others were processing crabs, shrimps, abalone, etc.
"I haven't eaten the seafood rice dumplings yet," an uncle said.
"Everyone, please help us. Let's help together. Xiaoyun said that this is for the whole village, and every family has a share." Grandpa, the village chief, said.
"Come on, come on, everyone, do it."
Everyone jumped in to help.
Gradually, a lot of old people and children came. Except for those who had something to do or those who couldn't walk, almost all of them came.
Chen Xiaohu's house was also lively.
Chen Xiaoyun was making abalone. He washed the abalone, stir-fried it with various seasonings, and then stewed it in soup.
After cooking the abalone, Chen Xiaoyun went back and brought some cicada monkeys over.
I fried a few plates of cicada monkey and gave the elderly people some wine and tea.
"Xiaoyun, thank you for being a young man and giving us fried cicadas to eat." An uncle said with a smile.
"Uncle, no matter how you say thank you, we are all relatives." Chen Xiaoyun said quickly.
"I haven't eaten this cicada monkey for a long time. Let's try it today." said an old man.
Even though they are older, they are not like young people like Chen Xiaoyun who have the energy to catch cicada monkeys at night.
The village chief's grandfather, the second grandfather and several other elderly people sat together chatting, eating cicadas, drinking tea and wine.
Chen Xiaoyun took out the cooked abalone and cut it into pieces. Chen Xiaonan and Chen Xiaohu also removed the shells of shrimps and crabs to get out the meat.
"Xiao Nan, where is the girl who came to your house? Why is there no one there?" an aunt asked.
"Auntie, she went home for the Dragon Boat Festival!" Chen Xiaonan replied.
"That girl is also very beautiful. You have to seize the opportunity. We aunts are waiting to enjoy your wedding." Another aunt said with a smile.
Chen Xiaonan scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.
Even before he could catch Sun Xiaoxiao, these aunts were urging her to get married.
Chen Xiaoyun didn't dare to talk to him, for fear that the fire would burn him.
"In our village, no one got married last year. I really don't know what you young people think today. None of them get married." An uncle spoke up.
There were many people chatting either about household matters or these topics.
"My two little boys are in their 24s and 50s. They don't have a girlfriend, and they don't plan to get married. They work outside every year and are poor every year. They are very worried." Another uncle also said.
"Today's young people, none of them want to get married!"
…
After all the ingredients were prepared, a dozen aunts showed off their martial arts skills and started making rice dumplings.
These aunts had to come to make the rice dumplings. Chen Xiaoyun and the others also learned how to make two rice dumplings, as ugly as they wanted.
I have no choice but to shake my head and give up!
