"Why do I feel that those two guys have happiness written all over their faces?"

"It seems... it really is!"

"Anchor, you are too good at enjoying yourself! Lying down and being lazy, and then letting coal balls and nuts work for you, you are... simply!"

"Simply too smart, haha!"

It turned out that because of the recent drought, the vegetables in the yard have also become wilted.

Li Yuan looked at the weather, and there was obviously no sign of rain in the past week, so he simply picked a good weather and went to the yard to water the plants.

Fortunately, there is a great advantage in the countryside, that is, almost every household has a well, so Li Yuan doesn't have to worry about water bills at all when watering the ground.

But when Li Yuan was watering, the briquettes volunteered to ask for help.

With a clever helper like briquettes, Li Yuan simply fulfilled the principle of not using briquettes for nothing.The briquettes are also quite happy, obviously they like this new job very much.

It's that black hair... It's been wet by water at this time.

Fortunately, the weather is fine, so I won't catch a cold.

The briquettes are busy, and the nuts are naturally not idle, and they directly performed their best work, which is 'shelling'. As for Li Yuan, he became a landowner, enjoying the nuts and melon seeds, while supervising the production of the briquettes. Work, so happy.

After putting the water on for half an hour, Li Yuan turned off the switch.

Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Yuan plans to go to the market to buy some jujubes and glutinous rice, and make some rice dumplings when he comes back.

For the Dragon Boat Festival customs in Northeast China, sweet rice dumplings have always been used, so there are many ingredients for rice dumplings in the market, but there are only sweet rice dumplings like jujube.

However, Li Yuan's custom for so many years has always been to eat sweet rice dumplings, so he has all the things he wants to buy.

Studio.

"It's really all sweet rice dumplings."

"I like to eat meat dumplings. Is there no meat dumplings in Northeast China?"

"Anyway, I have lived in the Northeast for more than 30 years, and I have never seen the Northeast people around me eat meat dumplings."

"Zongzi must be sweet! Tofu must be salty!"

"Agree with the above, this is the bottom line for us Northeasterners..."

"Haha, the zongzi in our south has always been meatless."

"Yes, the meat dumplings are so delicious! The salted egg yolk tastes good too."

"Sweet dumpling dipped in sugar! The taste is amazing!"

"I'm not used to it, but meat dumplings are the best..."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "This is the reason why the customs are different. In our Northeast, I think there are sweet rice dumplings with dates or sweet beans. If you ask the old people in the village what salty rice dumplings are, I'm afraid there are not many of them. I've heard of it."

While Li Yuan was speaking, there was a sound of peddling on the street.

"Zongzi Zongzi, fresh jujube rice dumplings! One yuan each!"

"Selling Zongzi! Red Bean and Glutinous Rice Zongzi!"

Because of the festival, there were many people who came out to go to the market on the street. Although Li Yuan came out quite early, there were already several stalls that were almost sold out.

Studio.

"Wow, there are too many people here, right?"

"No, it's just a festival, why are there so many people?"

"A lot of nice purses!"

"It's only past nine o'clock, how come there are stalls closed?"

"No, it's too early, isn't it?"

"Oh my god, isn't this too lively? This number of people... almost catch up with the Chinese New Year!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival, Ching Ming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, these four festivals are collectively called the four traditional festivals in China."

"The Dragon Boat Festival culture has a wide influence in the world, and even some countries and regions in the world have activities to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival."

"And the Dragon Boat Festival has long been listed as a national statutory holiday. As one of the broad and profound festivals in our country, the Dragon Boat Festival has become the first festival to be selected as a world intangible cultural heritage."

Studio.

"Dragon Boat Festival, is it so embarrassing?"

"Damn, are you so awesome?"

"I'm wondering, why? Although the Dragon Boat Festival is a commemorative event, I think Qingming, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival are not bad, are they?"

"Should it be related to the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"I think so. After all, the Dragon Boat Festival can be regarded as the most culturally rich festival among festivals."

Li Yuan nodded.

"Dragon Boat Festival has many names, and it is also called Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chongwu Festival, Dragon Festival, Zhengyang Festival, and Tianzhong Festival."

"And this festival originally originated from the worship of celestial phenomena, which evolved from the sacrifice of dragons in ancient times."

"Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, when Canglong Qisu ascends to the mid-heaven in the south, it is an auspicious day for Long Feitian. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the dragon star is both 'centered' and 'right', which is a sign of great auspiciousness."

"Its origin covers the ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects, and it contains profound and rich cultural connotations. In the inheritance and development, it is mixed with a variety of folk customs, and the content of festivals and customs is rich."

"Leaving aside other customs, zongzi is an indispensable food for us to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival."

Studio.

"Well, zongzi is a seasonal and customary food for so many festivals, and its status can be compared with dumplings."

"It's true, mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival and glutinous rice balls for Lantern Festival can be ignored, but every year when the Dragon Boat Festival comes, this zongzi is a food I must eat."

"I also like to eat zongzi. They are fragrant and sweet, and they are simply delicious in the world!"

"Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, I always feel that I can smell the fragrance of rice dumplings wherever I go."

"It seems to be true. As long as I can remember, rice dumplings must be eaten every year during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Li Yuan: "Zongzi has been passed down for thousands of years, so it is naturally very popular. And although zongzi is becoming more and more accepted, there are more and more styles of zongzi."

"In terms of materials alone, there are many types of zongzi leaves wrapped outside, and the shapes of zongzi are also different."

"Like the earliest zongzi, ox horns were popular in offering sacrifices to the sky. Therefore, in the Han and Jin Dynasties, zongzi were mostly made into horns as one of the offerings for ancestor worship."

"In addition to the shape of horns, there are now various shapes such as regular triangles, regular quadrangles, pointed triangles, squares, and elongated shapes."

"For example, BJ Zongzi, one of the more famous representatives of northern rice dumplings, this variety of rice dumplings is generally relatively large in size, and its shape is also oblique quadrangular or triangular."

"The Huzhou rice dumpling has a unique elongated shape, which looks like a pillow, so it is also called a pillow rice dumpling. And because this kind of Zongzi is long and thin, with a concave in the middle, and two upturned ends, it has beautiful lines and a relatively small and elegant appearance, so it is also called a "pillow rice dumpling". It's called 'Beauty Rice Dumpling' as a joke."

"The Cantonese zongzi is a representative variety of southern zongzi. On the contrary, its size is the opposite of that of BJ's zongzi. It is smaller in size, square in front, and a sharp corner protrudes from the back, shaped like an awl."
