I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 233 Standing firm, today we will talk about "Qu Yuan"... (for subscription)
"Mr. Chen Fan, this is our largest shipyard in Xiangyang."

Accompanied by Xiangyang tourism staff, Chen Fan came to the largest shipyard in Xiangyang.

"Mr. Chen Fan, I am the person in charge here. My surname is Huang. You can call me Xiao Huang."

"Boss Huang is polite."

"Mr. Chen Fan, I don't know what kind of boat you want to build?"

"I'm a bit short on time. The boat will be built in about a week. I don't know if you have any problems here?"

"It depends on your design drawing. If it is more complicated, a week may be a little tight."

"There are no blueprints."

Chen Fan shook his head: "But it is similar to an ordinary wooden boat, but it has to carry about 20 people, and its shape has to be shaped like a dragon."

"Dragon shape?"

"Yes."

Said: "I call this kind of boat a dragon boat."

Although there is no design drawing, Chen Fan started to draw it on white paper: "Boss Huang, it is almost like this. You can ask a designer to design it again. For the shape, the focus should be on the dragon pattern."

"It doesn't look complicated, and a week should be fine."

Boss Huang looked at the shape of Chen Fan's painting, and then said, "However, Mr. Chen Fan, what are you planning to do with such a boat?"

"For competition."

"Contest?"

"Yes, it's like sailing in the Olympics. However, we have to match the oars, and then more than 20 people sit on the boat and work together to see who gets to the finish line first."

"Interesting, interesting."

Boss Huang also kept nodding.

Although the design of the dragon boat mentioned by Chen Fan is simple, the overall shape and scheme are very fresh and unique.

"Teacher Chen Fan, don't worry, I will finish the dragon boat for you within a week."

In fact, the design of dragon boats is not complicated.

For a shipyard like this, there is no difficulty at all.

"Then I am very grateful to Boss Huang."

Communicate with the shipyard.

Then, Chen Fan said: "Xiao Liu, where do you have zong leaves here?"

"Zongye?"

Xiao Liu, who was following Chen Fan, was stunned: "Mr. Chen Fan, what is Zongye?"

"This..."

Chen Fan had a headache.

There is no Dragon Boat Festival in this world, so naturally there are no zongzi.

Since there are no zongzi, there can be no zongye.

wrong.

Not without zong leaves.

There is Zongye, but it’s just that people don’t call him Zongye.

"Zongye is a reed leaf, or a reed leaf...that is, the leaves are larger and can wrap food."

"Oh, that's what you're talking about. We have it in many places here."

"That's great, Xiao Liu, take me there and pick some for me."

"Ok."

Xiao Liu nodded.

……

After about half an hour.

Xiao Liu took Chen Fan to a river in Xiangyang.

By the river, there are reed leaves everywhere.

Xiao Liu said somewhat uncertainly: "Mr. Chen Fan, do you think this is it?"

"Yes Yes."

Chen Fan walked over, picked off the leaves and looked at them: "That's right, this is it. Come on, Xiao Liu, let everyone help me pick these leaves together. By the way, you can find them for me later." A food processing factory, when the time comes, I will need this food processing factory to help me make something."

"Ok."

Xiao Liu nodded.

Immediately, a group of people helped Chen Fan pick off the reed leaves by the river and cleaned them.

"Mr. Chen Fan, what do you want these reed leaves for?"

Going to the food factory, Xiao Liu, who followed Chen Fan, asked.

"I want to make a delicacy."

"What food?"

"This kind of delicacy is called Zongzi."

"Zongzi?"

"Correct."

"What are zongzi?"

"It is to use the reed leaves we picked just now, then wrap the glutinous rice, add seasonings, and then cook or steam... This is complicated to say, but it is actually very simple. When the time comes, I will make it for everyone. Understood."

With the help of Xiao Liu, Chen Fan came to a rice food processing factory.

Introduce them.

soon.

Production of the zongzi that Chen Fan wanted began.

of course.

The zong leaves that Chen Fan picked just now were not enough.

but it does not matter.

As long as they are taught the method, the food processing factory will collect it itself.

soon.

After several hours, the world's first zongzi was made.

of course.

The main reason why it can be made so quickly is that this food processing factory originally made all kinds of food.

They already had the glutinous rice that Chen Fan mentioned.

Not only that.

Because they have made many other foods through glutinous rice before.

So in their factory, the glutinous rice has already been soaked.

otherwise.

If there is only glutinous rice, but it has not been soaked well, it will take a long time to soak.

"Teacher Chen Fan, you eat first."

Boss Liu of the food processing factory brought the finished rice dumplings beside Chen Fan.

It was also the first time for them to do this kind of thing, and everything was done according to the method taught by Chen Fan.

I don't know how it tastes like.

"Okay, I'll try it."

Looking at the zongzi on the plate, Chen Fan felt very cordial.

Picking up the zongzi, he skillfully untied the tied rope.

Immediately, a piece of golden rice dumpling was exposed inside the rice dumpling leaf.

Because doing it for the first time.

So at that time, Chen Fan didn't ask for many kinds of flavors, nor did he add other things like pork, red dates... or something.

But this kind of zongzi is also more original.

Take a sip gently.

A scent of glutinous rice came out.

Before Chen Fan could speak, everyone said in succession, "It smells so good."

"It smells really good."

"Sweet and delicious."

Although it is the first time to do it.

But the method of making zongzi does not require much technology, just follow the method.

Not to mention how awesome rice dumplings can be made, but basically the taste is similar to the previous life.

"Good, good, delicious."

"Come, come, you watch what I do, and come and eat together."

immediately.

Everyone also picked up the zongzi one after another.

For them.

This kind of zongzi is very fresh, they have never eaten it before.

Not only did I not eat it.

They haven't thought about how there is such food.

But the zongzi made are really fragrant and very appetizing.

Everyone one by one, taste it from time to time.

"Mr. Chen Fan, you are really amazing. How did you come up with the idea of ​​making rice dumplings?"

"I didn't come up with it. The ancients did it thousands of years ago. It's just that we have lost it in modern times. I also saw the method in an ancient book, and then I tried it. I didn't expect it to be successful."

"Hahaha, then Mr. Chen Fan, is this the zongzi you mentioned?"

"Correct."

Chen Fan nodded: "In the future, I feel that everyone will eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival. By the way, if you want to make food in the future, you can also make zongzi. At that time, because you are the first to make zongzi, Maybe you can make a lot of money.”

"Mr. Chen Fan, stop joking. It's not like you haven't seen our factory, which is about to go bankrupt."

"Hahaha, you will know when the time comes. By the way, if you really make a lot of money, don't forget me."

"Definitely, definitely... If I can really make money by making zongzi in the future, then I will apply for a zongzi brand."

"That's right, Boss Liu, it's very branded."

"Hahaha……"

All of a sudden, everyone laughed.

Chen Fan was also very happy.

Although he knew that everyone sitting here didn't think that this kind of zongzi could be spread, but let's take the past life as an example.

As long as the Dragon Boat Festival is successfully promoted, zongzi will inevitably become a food that we will never forget.

Although the market for this kind of food is not very big, and I don't usually eat it, it is not impossible to start a business by making rice dumplings.

If you do it later, you will make your own brand.

Just like Wufangzhai Zongzi in the previous life, it is possible to earn hundreds of millions a year.

of course.

This is all for later.

If you want to push out the zongzi, you must first push out the Dragon Boat Festival.

……

"Director Li, how is your progress going?"

"Well, Teacher Chen Fan, there are some difficulties in advancing."

"how?"

"Some other cities are not particularly interested in the Dragon Boat Festival for the time being."

"So how many cities have joined so far?"

"So far, only we in Xiangyang..."

"Uh……"

Ok.

Chen Fan understood.

After chatting with Director Li for a while, Chen Fan began to think about it.

To launch a festival is really not that simple.

Previously, the Wule Festival in Suzhou had been passed down for thousands of years, and it was also in Suzhou.

In some other places, Wuzi Festival will not be celebrated.

Not to mention, this is a Dragon Boat Festival that everyone is not particularly familiar with.

I thought about it.

Chen Fan called CCTV's "Xu Liang".

"Mr. Chen Fan, is that Mr. Chen Fan? God, I thought my eyes were blurred."

"Old Xu, there's no need to be so exaggerated."

"Mr. Chen Fan, you don't know. We are looking forward to it every day. We just want you to remember our CCTV. Teacher Chen Fan, you will not tell me your call. You want to come to our CCTV program again. If so, I'll arrange it right away."

"Old Xu, don't be excited here. I want to do a program, but this one is only one. I just don't know if CCTV can give me a schedule. I hope I can give it in the next few days." I arrange."

"Is there only one issue?"

"Correct."

"About what kind?"

"It's about the same as the more than three hundred Tang poems. However, this issue will no longer talk about Tang poems, but Chu Ci."

"Chu Ci?"

Xu Liang was taken aback.

After a while, he said, "Mr. Chen Fan, haven't the Ci of Chu been lost?"

"It is lost, but I have seen it in some ancient books."

"My God, Mr. Chen Fan, you have played another Wang Zha."

"How about it?"

"Necessary, Mr. Chen Fan, please wait for my call, I will go to Taili to apply right away."

"Okay, waiting for your call."

hang up the phone.

Chen Fan smiled slightly.

Sure enough, CCTV still knew the influence of Chu Ci.

……

"Director, Director, Director..."

Excited, Xu Liang came to the director's office.

"Xu Liang, what's the situation, so anxious?"

Seeing Xu Liang come to his office very excitedly, the director said a little strangely: "Whatever program you want recently, I have approved the program for you. You don't want to get any more resources, right?"

"Director, I really want to get another resource."

"This won't work. Now all the scheduled programs in the station are full."

"What if I say, Teacher Chen Fan is back?"

"what……"

Hearing Chen Fan, the director was also a little excited: "Are you serious?"

"Director, look, you are impatient."

"Good boy, are you kidding me?"

"Director, no, no, it's true, Mr. Chen Fan is indeed planning to come back. However, he only wants to do a special program this time."

"Just one issue? Not a series?"

"I also want Teacher Chen Fan to make a series, but he doesn't want to."

"The first episode is a bit troublesome..."

"Director, don't worry. This special episode will definitely be a sensation."

"The show hasn't even come out, how do you know?"

"The main reason is that Mr. Chen Fan said that in this episode, he is going to give a speech on The Songs of Chu."

"Chu Ci..."

Hear Chuci.

Suddenly, the director stood up: "You mean, is Teacher Chen Fan going to talk about Qu Yuan?"

"Yes."

Xu Quan nodded affirmatively.
