The villagers first went to the mountain temple to offer sacrifices under the leadership of the village chief, and placed food, including pig and sheep heads, but no cattle, and a chicken to form three animals.
Then everyone went to cut mugwort. Others had to go to the wild to collect mugwort. The village specially grew mugwort as a medicinal material.
We have to harvest a lot today, and then we will process and store it. In fact, we harvested a lot in the past two days. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the effect of mugwort will become worse.
There is also Artemisia annua, which is used for cold soaking to treat malaria. It has been written in the prescription given to Tai Hospital that Artemisia annua must be used.
Then we go to the memorial arch to burn incense. The ancestors will wait a moment and go there before lunch.
Everyone makes rice dumplings, boils eggs, and hangs colored glaze lanterns. At night, everyone ties colorful threads and puts sachets on them.
There is no dragon boat race, and conditions do not allow it this year. The village chief is planning to wait until next year when other villages become richer, and everyone will race again.
The guards of the Prince's Mansion and Zhu Taiyi also received colorful ropes and sachets, and also inserted mugwort.
Children in the village touch eggs, including chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs. The latter two are salty and are eaten for lunch.
The eggs are bland, and they are given to the kitchen to make egg-stuffed meatballs.
You have to touch it quickly, the kitchen is waiting
You are not allowed to use raw eggs. Raw eggs are stronger than cooked eggs. The key is that they are difficult to recycle if they are broken.
Seeing the lively and festive look of the people in the village, the people in the Prince's Mansion were happy because the village sent things to their family.
Including the boatmen, each family has a lot of gifts to let them have a happy Dragon Boat Festival.
At noon, everyone went to the well to fetch water. After fetching water, they followed the chief to the sacrificial hall. The people of the Prince's Mansion could only stand outside.
The sacrificial hall is large and has three entrances, because there are many people in the village, and all men, women, old and children can enter.
The chief first placed the offerings and offered incense, then he knelt down on the futon with a bang and began to cry.
"My ancestors, I, Zhu Yichang, am ashamed to be the head of Dangqiu Village. I did not do a good job. Some time ago, I was invited by the prince to take the villagers to attend the prince's concubine ceremony. When I saw the current emperor, I thought Why can't I, the village chief, do such a good job?
I offered my skills and advice to the court, and used the wheat that increased the village's yield by two bushels per mu as seeds. I am guilty, I am soooo
Also, this year I led the people in the village and worked very hard to get back three archways. One is Zhongzhengfang, one is Renyifang, and one is Liangshanfang. They are all standing at the entrance of the village. There are too few. It was too little.
When we were invited to attend the ceremony of the crown prince’s concubine, we bought a large courtyard next to the imperial city and added a property there to the village. We originally wanted to buy another better one. , It’s a pity that they are a pawn shop, I am incompetent
Now the village has to learn the blacksmith skills by itself, there is no way. The court allows the village to make its own firecrackers, oh, we have a good way to make this firecracker, and then We can make a better flintlock gun ourselves.
When I think about the slow speed of making guns, I feel like I am a waste and I am useless to my ancestors.Facing you, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”
The villagers wiped away their tears. Xiaqiu Village was better this year than last year. Everyone worked very hard and got three archways. Many people ate His Majesty’s banquet.
The mayor said that there will be a chance in the future, and everyone can see His Majesty and the Prince, so that this life will be worth it.
The people standing outside the Prince's Mansion ""
They looked at each other in confusion after hearing the cry and shouting of the village leader, always feeling that something was wrong.
“Come on, Hanhan, you go first, then the village elder. "After the village leader finished crying, he wiped his tears and recovered instantly.
Zhu Wentian stepped forward and knelt down, "Okay, hi, um hehehehehe"
The village elders came up, one by one. I really cried, wiping away my tears to describe the current situation in Xiaqiu Village.
In the end, all the villagers knelt down and kowtowed, including their married daughters-in-law. .
Those who have unmarried daughters in their families want to get married with Xiaqiu Village, but the young men who are not married do not dare to worship the women of Xiaqiu Village. At the end, everyone washed their faces and had a meal. Except for the very young children, everyone drank a cup of medicinal wine. Realgar is poisonous and is also a medicine. It can be made into arsenic. This has been done in the village. The drug store has it.
After drinking the medicinal wine, those who don’t drink will eat as usual, and those who drink will drink slowly. There is nothing to rush about today.
Each table has twelve dishes and four meat dishes. Four vegetarian dishes and four cold dishes, the staple food is naturally rice dumplings and bean flour cakes.
The rice dumplings are stuffed with bean paste, walnut kernels and sesame seeds.
The rice dumplings are filled with dried fruits. Pork, there is lard in the pork, you have to eat it while it's hot, it will solidify when it's cold.
Everyone in the Prince's Mansion smiles, with a sincere smile. They all wear silk clothes, which are given to them by Xiaqiu Village.
The same style as the people in Xiaqiu Village, with several pockets, sleeves, left and right inner pockets, and waist pockets. You can’t tell the waist without looking carefully. The texture of the pockets Well done.
The silk clothes are actually robes and a new pair of boots, which feel very good.
They want to buy them for themselves and get a year's salary. The kind of drink.
Less than a quarter of an hour after eating, a large group of people arrived, including officials from Xuancheng County. Hanhan changed the table to a new table and served food in the village kitchen.
Hanhan mentioned it and had to prepare it in case someone from the village came over or an official came.
"Zhu Lichang, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, I will invite local people to offer sacrifices, that"
Song Zhifu found an excuse. He had already held a sacrifice in the mansion, and immediately went to Xiaqiu after it was over. The village is rushing.
Li Zhixian and others are the same. They feel comfortable staying in Xiaqiu Village on the festive day.
"This is how Xiaqiu Village is set up," the village chief asked. , this one is also prepared
Soon the altar was set up and the things were put on, Song Zhi.The government took the lead and said a lot of blah blah blah, okay, wash your hands and eat.
The village elder tied colorful ropes and hung sachets for them. The identity of the village elder was different. He had accepted Zhu Yuanzhang's banquet, and the two sides had talked a lot, such as their experiences in raising cattle.
The officials looked at the people in Xiaqiu Village, and they were indeed in a good mood. They were all dressed in silk clothes, and the girls had red dots on their foreheads.
Only when we arrived at Xiaqiu Village did we feel what the prosperous times were, and we looked at the dishes, the colorful glazed lanterns without candles, and the big two-story house.
The officials sat down and drank a cup of realgar wine first. There were no extra dishes today. Twelve were enough. If you add more dishes, you can only add sixteen, because fourteen divided by two is an odd number.
The officials are already very satisfied. The food in Xiaqiu Village is delicious. Many of the dishes cannot be seen outside, unless you go to the palace to eat them, which is more difficult.
Zhifu Song took a sip of ice-cold rice wine and said, "Yichang, today I am not only waiting to bring everyone to offer sacrifices, but also to see more in the village. Maybe I won't be able to go back until dark"
< p>"You can't go back. The room has been tidied up. In the evening, we watch the lanterns and put out the river lanterns. There are rules. Please ask the prefect of Song Dynasty and other officials to help correct them."The mayor understands the other party. I mean, if I don’t want to leave, I’ll run here in the morning and spend half a day, and then go back after dinner and spend half a day.
Obviously too tired, I drank again at noon, and when I got home at night, it was already dark. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
