The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 612 Happiness is not as pure as before (for subscription)

"What they said is true. In the Dragon Boat Festival in Northeast China, there are indeed not so many novel programs."

The so-called dragon boat picking is one of the most important customs of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Dragon boat picking, also known as dragon boat racing.It's a group paddling competition.

It has a very long history, and it is also one of the traditional folk water sports and entertainment items, especially in the south, it can be said to be one of the necessary programs for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Moreover, the preservation method of these so-called dragon boats is also very special. They are usually sunk at the bottom of the rivers and lakes, or the dragon boats are placed on wooden frames on land and protected by scaffolding.

These people cherish the dragon boat very much. Only after the first day of May every year, the dragon boat will be fished out of the water or from the bottom for training by the sailors participating in the program. The training will last until the fifth day of May to participate in the so-called Dragon boat race.

Moreover, before the dragon boat race, the dragon must be invited to sacrifice to the gods, and then the dragon boat should be placed on the dragon head and tail on the bank.In some more traditional places, joss sticks are also lit to offer chicken, rice, meat, fruit, and rice dumplings.

It's just that these superstitious ceremonies are rare nowadays, but in the past, when people worshiped the Dragon God, the atmosphere was very serious.

And what everyone wants is mostly a good harvest, good weather, evil spirits, disasters, and good luck in everything. They also bless the safety of boating.

"So, is dragon boat racing the same as dragon boat racing?"

"Well, a name."

"It's almost the same, but the customs are different in each place, and the names are also different."

"You can tell it's lively when you hear it!"

"I'm from the Northeast, so I really want to feel such an atmosphere!"

"Yeah, the river in the northeast is too little..."

"No, there really aren't many activities in the Northeast that can afford such a big battle..."

"I'm so envious. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go and see it myself!"

As Li Yuan said, his heart was actually full of yearning.

But... Although there are not so many customs, the Northeast still has a lot of attention on the Dragon Boat Festival when it comes to food.

After more than an hour, Li Yuan finally picked off all the leaves of mugwort and dried them in a sunny place.

Then...

Li Yuan carried a lot of zongzi, and then went out to find his friends who had gotten better early in the morning.

"Brother Li Yuan!"

"Brother Li Yuan, happy Dragon Boat Festival!"

Because the Dragon Boat Festival is an annual traditional festival, no matter it is a small, middle or high school, there will be a few days off for students.

And when the students are on vacation, the children in the village naturally laugh a lot more.

No, just as Li Yuan went out, he saw a dozen children, big and small, playing together.

And these children, without exception, either have purses and multicolored ropes of various bright colors on their hands, feet, or necks.

The purses on the children's bodies kept shaking with their bouncing and playing.

The colorful colors and the smiles on the faces of the children are very touching.

Looking at these children, Li Yuan couldn't help thinking of his childhood days, and the colorful ropes that appeared on his feet when he woke up in the morning...

Studio.

"A lot of children!"

"Wow, so many kids?"

"Aren't these children too happy?"

"So many children?! I have only seen so many children in the amusement park in the shopping mall. In the community... everyone doesn't know each other. Very few children can play so crazy."

"Looking at their carefree looks, I'm really envious!"

"The purses they carry are so pretty!"

"Yeah, it's so beautiful! I want to bring it too, but every time I think about my age... just forget it."

"Hey, yes, as I get older, happiness is not as pure as it used to be."

Fifteen minutes later, Li Yuan arrived at Hu Kai's house with the zongzi.

The door of Hu Kai's house was wide open, and because of the good weather, even the door was open wide. In order to prevent the wind from closing the door, it was covered with red bricks.

As soon as Li Yuan entered the door, he saw Hu Kai's parents who were weeding in the yard, and Hu Kai who was watering the garden with a hose.

Li Yuan hurriedly said hello: "Uncle, Aunt, Ankang for the Dragon Boat Festival, here are the zongzi I brought to you, I made it myself with jujube and red bean stuffing, don't dislike it."

Ankang is an honorific word for Dragon Boat Festival blessings.

When Hu Kai's parents saw Li Yuan, they hurriedly put down their hands and came to greet him.

Dad Hu: "Isn't this Xiaoyuan? Come here, what else do you want!"

Hu's mother: "That's right, you child, you came here under the sun, hurry up and sit in the house for a while."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly greeted Li Yuan into the house.

And Hu Kai on the side saw Li Yuan coming, and his face was also full of smiles. He put down the water pipe unhurriedly, rinsed his slippers, and washed his hands again. Then he said: "Parents, Why are you being polite to him, you just take it when you bring it, the food made by Li Yuan is delicious, if you don’t accept it, you will be compensated!"

When Hu's mother heard her son's words, she couldn't help but whiten Hu Kai, and said angrily, "You son of a bitch, you can't speak properly."

But then he thought of something, and added: "However, Xiao Yuan's cooking tastes really delicious."

Li Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard that.

After handing the zongzi to Dad Hu, Li Yuan said, "Uncle, Aunt, I won't go in the house. Isn't this the Dragon Boat Festival? I found an abandoned pond a few days ago, and I plan to go touch some eels with Xiaokai go."

The custom of eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival is known to all ages, and the story of Qu Yuan has been told in elementary school textbooks.

The patriotic poet Qu Yuan was dissatisfied with the dark situation at that time, so he threw himself into the Miluo River. In order to prevent his body from being eaten by fish and shrimp, people threw eggs and glutinous rice into the river. Later, it gradually developed into the custom of eating zongzi every Dragon Boat Festival.

But in addition to eating zongzi, there is another custom in the Dragon Boat Festival, which is to eat five yellow.

The so-called five yellows are yellow croaker, cucumber, rice field eel, duck egg yolk, and realgar wine. Of course, realgar wine is poisonous, so ordinary rice wine has long been used instead of realgar wine.

And eating five yellow meals at noon of the Dragon Boat Festival is to mix five kinds of yellow food together.

Because the theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, which is the time of the year when the yang energy is at its peak, and noon is the time when the yang energy is at its peak in the day. You can use the power of the Dragon Boat Festival to curb bad luck and improve yourself energy.

As one of the five yellow eels, the month of the Dragon Boat Festival can be said to be one of the most tender and delicious seasons.

Moreover, rice field eel has always been popular with the public because it has fewer thorns all over the body, which is very suitable for the elderly and children to eat. It is a good choice for soup or stir-fry.
