The task of making zongzi was handed over to the aunts in the village, and Chen Xiaoyun and the other three sat down with a group of uncles to chat.
"Xiaoyun, the mangoes in the village are almost ripe. Can you help us sell them and use your live broadcast?" Uncle Min Qiang asked.
"Yeah, sure. If you decide to buy it someday, let us know and Xiaohu and I will do a live broadcast to help you sell mangoes." Chen Xiaoyun nodded confidently.
"Uncle, thank you in advance. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid this year's lychees would have to be sold at low prices, as well as the mangoes that will be on the market soon." Uncle Min Qiang said sincerely.
"It's easy to say thank you or not," Chen Xiaoyun said nonchalantly.
"You young people are still smart and promising. We uncles are getting older and can't keep up with the times. Those external purchasers keep lowering our prices every year. We also have difficulties." Min Huai. Uncle said.
"Actually, nowadays, in the fruit growing industry, everything depends on God. If you can make some money in a year when the price is high, you can earn some hard money when the price is not good."
"What can I do? I'm old, I work in a factory, and my wages are low and I'm looked down upon."
The uncles who stayed in the village to farm and grow orchards were all in their forties or fifties.
I don’t have any craftsmanship, so I only have to work hard to drive screws in the factory. After a month of hard work, I only earn two to three thousand yuan.
After the aunts made more than a hundred rice dumplings, Chen Xiaohu and Chen Xiaonan set up a pot and lit a fire and cooked two large pots of rice dumplings.
"Your B&B is almost ready. When do you plan to open it?" the village chief grandpa asked.
The uncles also listened attentively. They looked at the B&Bs built and they were so exquisite.
"It will probably take a while. After the decoration is completed, it will need to be ventilated." Chen Xiaoyun is not sure when the B&B will open.
This also needs to be discussed with Li Weibo and Chu Xiao.
If Chen Xiaoyun and his family's B&B can develop and promote the development of tourism, it will usher in a good development opportunity for Chenjiacun.
After the two pots of rice dumplings were cooked, Chen Xiaohu and Chen Xiaonan lifted them down, poured them into a large basin, and poured out the boiling water.
After waiting for a while, the zongzi cooled down a bit.
"You can eat rice dumplings now."
These rice dumplings are made with a variety of ingredients, including meat, egg yolk, shrimp, crab, and abalone.
There are two big pots of rice dumplings placed there. If you want to eat, you can go get them yourself.
Chen Xiaoyun picked a beautifully wrapped rice dumpling, peeled off the leaves, and the aroma instantly hit his nostrils.
Crab meat, shrimp meat, and abalone meat look delicious, and when you bite into them, they are soft, delicious, and full of meat.
"It's delicious, not bad, it tastes very good!" Chen Xiaoyun nodded with satisfaction.
Sure enough, the ingredients are expensive, but it tastes delicious.
You get what you pay for.
Everyone also got up and went to get it themselves. The children were greedy and took one in each hand, and then a group of children ran away.
Old man Chen Xiaonan filled it in a small basin and sent it over.
Everyone began to taste the rice dumplings one after another, and for a while, they were filled with the fragrance of rice dumplings.
Erha, the silly dog who was tied up, was so greedy that his mouth watered.
"Well, it's delicious. Zongzi made with seafood can be so delicious."
“Not bad, the taste is very good and it suits the taste very well.”
After everyone ate the rice dumplings, they all praised it.
Chen Xiaoyun ate one, then brought a bag, filled some, and sent them to the elderly people such as Grandma Lian and Grandpa Jianyu who were not here.
After the remaining rice dumplings were wrapped, they were not cooked again. Instead, each family was divided into seven or eight for them to take home and cook.
The remaining three, Chen Xiaoyun, Chen Xiaonan, and Chen Xiaohu, were divided into twenty or thirty pieces each.
Chen Xiaoyun took it back, cooked it, and put it in the refrigerator when it cooled.
If you want to eat it, heat it up and you can eat it.
It rained heavily for the next two days.
On the third day, the Dragon Boat Festival, the rain stopped, but it was still cloudy.
A cloudy day is better than no rain, so you can travel.
In the morning, Chen Xiaoyun cooked two rice dumplings and ate them.
How can it be the Dragon Boat Festival without eating rice dumplings?
After eating breakfast, Chen Xiaohu and Chen Xiaonan ran over, saying they were going to the county town to watch a dragon boat race.
Chen Xiaoyun, who has been staying at home for two days, also plans to go out for a walk.
"This is the wormwood that grandpa asked me to bring over for you to hang on the door." Chen Xiaohu gave the wormwood to Chen Xiaoyun by the way.
After Chen Xiaoyun hung up the mugwort, he said, "Let's go to the county seat to watch the dragon boat race."
The three of them drove two cars and set off to the county town. Chen Xiaohu drove there mainly to pick up his parents to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.
When we rushed to the county town, it was eight o'clock and the dragon boat race had not started yet.
There were quite a few lion dance performances. The lion dance with gongs and drums attracted many people to watch.
It's the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. The streets are very lively and there are many pretty boys and girls.
Some pretty girls dress very coolly, and their long white legs are very eye-catching.
When they arrived at the riverside, Chen Xiaoyun and the others were already late, and the good viewing position had already been occupied by others.
There are huge crowds of people on both sides of the river!
The river runs through the middle of the city, and dragon boat racing is a very grand event here, so it is very lively.
There are too many people coming to watch the dragon boat race.
Their county town is also developing very well, with many high-rise buildings and many residential areas along both sides of the river.
"It seems we're late, so we can only stand from the back and watch."
It’s so hard to squeeze in, and it’s so difficult to get a good viewing position.
The good viewing positions are all occupied by the aunts and uncles who got up early. Who dares to squeeze in with them? !
If you accidentally knock it down and fall to the ground, you will be lucky.
"Forget it, just stand here and watch from behind." Chen Xiaoyun said.
More and more people gathered, and people from local TV stations were broadcasting live.
At nine o'clock, the drums and gongs sounded, and the dragon boat race began.
Then there was a series of gongs and drums, echoing on the river.
Of course, what they are here is not the starting point of the competition, but only the middle position.
Many young people are also holding up their mobile phones, preparing to shoot videos or live broadcast.
"Dong dong dong..."
After a while, several dragon boats, like arrows, were flying on the river at extremely fast speeds.
The intensive drumbeats constantly urged the racers to work hard.
The strong athletes rowed hard and in unison, and the sound of the drums was very powerful and rhythmic.
People watching the game on the shore were also shouting for cheers.
The atmosphere at the scene was high and the noise was like a fire!
It stirred up the emotions of many people.
"Roar……"
Chen Xiaohu next to him shouted loudly and waved vigorously.
Chen Xiaoyun lamented that young people are young people, energetic and active.
Several dragon boats passed by quickly like arrows off the string, and there were also several dragon boats behind them, chasing after them.
After a while, the dragon boat passed this section of the river.
Wherever the dragon boat goes, there will be noisy gongs and drums, a bustling crowd, and a high atmosphere.
Although I don’t know the final winner, this is just one of the games, and there are other events.
"Little handsome boy, can you add a v letter?" At this time, a beautiful woman came over and looked at Chen Xiaoyun with a slight blush and said.
Chen Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment. The name "little handsome boy" made him think that he was not being called him.
He is already in his mid-twenties, yet someone actually calls him a handsome boy. He is not a young man of eighteen, nineteen or twenty years old.
"I'm sorry, pretty girl, I didn't bring my mobile phone. Also, I'm almost thirty years old and I'm not a handsome guy." Chen Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"Thanks!"
Seeing that she was rejected, the little beauty looked a little disappointed, then turned and left.
In this day and age, how could anyone go out without a mobile phone?
You don’t need to carry your money or ID card, and you don’t need to carry your brain, but you must carry your mobile phone wherever you go.
Looking at the little beauty's leaving figure, Chen Xiaoyun smiled lightly and said, "Quite polite."
The girl seemed to him to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.
He is not a beast enough to accept the wishes of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.
After watching the dragon boat race, it was almost noon, and the three of them went to the fruit shop owned by Chen Xiaohu and his parents.
