Every day is one step closer to reality

There are more and more people at the venue.

Tourists stopped at various stalls and shops, some watched operas or Nuo dance performances, and some went to experience dragon boat racing.

Feng Yi walked around and went straight to the food area.

Due to the differences in tastes and customs between the north and the south, this cultural and arts festival is well prepared.

The area Feng Yi was passing now was filled with several stalls selling egg bags.

The boiled eggs are placed in a mesh bag and woven into pendants. Little children hang on their chests.

There are simple net bags, there are also more complicated ones, and there are also cartoon animal ones that children like.

Many parents who bring their children will buy one.

After all, not everyone can knit a net bag. Those who know how to knit will buy colorful ropes to knit them themselves, and will not come to the stalls selling egg bags.

Feng Yi looked to his side, where there was a sign with pictures and text.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the god of plague came to the world and harmed young children. People prayed to Nuwa for protection and received her guidance. At this time every year, their children would hang an egg bag to keep them safe.

Feng Yi looked at this in a daze, "Does Nuwa still care about this matter?"

Isn't this... really something that merchants made up in order to sell eggs and net bags and increase the added value of their products?

The boss selling egg bags next to him heard Feng Yi talking about Nuwa and replied smoothly: "Of course! Everyone who is wearing an egg bag today is a descendant of Nuwa! The God of Plague would not dare to treat Nuwa's descendants. Take action and all evils will be dispersed! Diseases and misfortunes will be warded off! Good luck will come all day long!"

Then he looked at Feng Yi: "One?"

Feng Yi hesitated for two seconds and nodded: "Okay."

In this stall owner’s stall, the eggs in the egg bags include both chicken eggs and duck eggs.

Feng Yi picked a salted duck egg.

A small net bag made of colorful ropes contains a clean salted duck egg.

After Feng Yi paid, he picked up the egg bag in his hand and asked, "Did Nuwa have salted duck eggs at that time?"

The stall owner responded with an awkward yet polite smile.

The stall owner thought: This young man is quite handsome, and he is a gangster at such a young age!

Sensing the stall owner's mood, Feng Yi said no more.

After Feng Yi left with his egg bag, not long after, two more young people passed by the stall, and the stall owner greeted them warmly.

The two young people also had the idea of ​​​​purchasing, but they hesitated a little: "We are not children anymore, we don't need this."

The stall owner raised his voice and said, "Adults can do it too! Is there anyone who stipulates that only children can buy it? Just now, someone about your age also bought an egg bag!"

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, the stall owner raised his eyes and glanced around, trying to find Feng Yi's figure in the crowd. It shouldn't be far away yet.

Sure enough, he saw Feng Yi.

The stall owner was about to raise his hand and point over there when he saw——

Feng Yi sat on a wooden chair by the side of the road, took out the salted duck eggs from his egg pocket, peeled off the shells neatly, and then opened his mouth to bite off half of the salted duck eggs.

The vendor's lips trembled as he looked at that scene.

I wanted to complain about something, but because of the children and tourists around me, I suppressed it.

People buy eggs to avoid the plague god, or to have a sense of ritual! That guy buys egg bags purely for eating!

Even if he eats it, he might as well let Danduo hang out for a while!

Eat as soon as you buy it!

This damn thing really doesn’t mean anything!

Haha, Leng Touqing knows nothing about myths and legends!

Boring!

disappointed!

The stall owner withdrew his gaze, with a warm business smile on his slumped face again. He pointed to another place and faced the customers: "I can't find the one just now. But look over there, there is a girl who also bought it. There is a parent with a child next to him who is also carrying one in his hand!"

The two young men in front of the stall were tempted, "Then buy it. Hey, we can be a baby even when we are twenty!"

On the other side, Feng Yi, who was sitting on the lounge chair, swallowed the remaining half of the salted duck eggs in the egg bag he just bought.

Originally, I didn't plan to eat it so soon, but as I carried it around, it didn't work. It kept dazzling in front of my eyes, which was quite tempting.

Along the way, this stall has the best smell of salted duck eggs in this area!

Besides, he was a little hungry.

After one bite, the oily juices overflowed from the egg yolk, the rustling texture left an endless aftertaste, and the saltiness of the egg whites was just right.

It would be nice if there was still a bowl of warm white rice porridge.

Feng Yi took a photo of the stall and sent a message to Xiao Jia:

[The salted duck eggs at this stall are the most delicious, you can try them. I'll buy some more and take them back. 】

I bought a cup of herbal tea from the herbal tea shop and two boxes of pastries. Then I went to the area selling rice dumplings and picked a few from each stall.

Sweet rice dumplings, salty rice dumplings, big white rice dumplings...different wrapping methods and different contents, taking into account the tastes of both the north and the south.

Feng Yi found a clean place to finish it together and put on the mask again.

The salted egg yolk in the salted egg yolk rice dumplings is not as good as the salted duck egg I just ate.

Just as he was thinking about it, Feng Yi received a message from Xiao Jia:

[That stall not only sells salted duck eggs, so I bought the egg bags directly, and bought 20 pieces [picture]]

[The stall owner said the limit is limited, and one person can only buy a maximum of 20 pieces]

[I asked the stall owner for his contact information. If necessary, I can place an order with him after the holiday. 】

[I took the salted duck eggs out of the net bag and went to a stall specializing in salted duck eggs to buy 20 pieces and put them inside. I found a donation point next to the venue and donated all 20 egg bags. They said they would send them to a children's welfare home. 】

Due to professional reasons, Xiao A has a habit of first checking out the terrain and the layout of a place, so he will know where the donation points are.

After reading Xiao Jia's information, Feng Yi gave the numbers of several stalls, the ones he just bought rice dumplings from which he thought tasted better. He asked Xiao Jia to buy more, keep some for himself, and donate the rest.

If possible, buy some vacuum-packed ones and bring them back to Yangcheng for the housekeepers and others to try. I don’t know if they like it or not.

Each craft has its own merits, and so do people's preferences. Anyway, Feng Yi thought it was okay.

After transferring money to Xiao Jia, Feng Yi was about to change places for a walk when he received another message from Lu Yue.

Lu Yue was at the clothing exhibition area and asked Feng Yi if he wanted to go over and play.

Having just eaten some snacks, Feng Yi thought it might be a good idea to go over and have a look, while he was eating.

The clothing area is very lively, probably because some businesses have invited Internet celebrities and starlets, attracting a large number of tourists to watch.

Lu Yue pointed out a shortcut to Feng Yi, which was the only passage for staff.

When Feng Yi arrived, Lu Yue was waiting at the backstage of their company's exhibition area.

Lu Yue's company occupies the largest area in this area.

The exhibition area displays many costumes and accessories with Chinese style Dragon Boat Festival elements, which are available for rental, photography and sales. Internet celebrity models and online anchors are also invited to warm up and bring goods.

Various online and offline publicity and marketing plans have been formulated long ago. Lu Yue does not need to keep an eye on them. Each link has a dedicated person in charge and a team.

If Lu Yue had to do everything himself, the company would not be far from bankruptcy.

Seeing Feng Yi wearing a mask, Lu Yue smiled and said, "This is..."

Before he could say the words "Afraid of being recognized", a gust of wind blew by, and Feng Yi was seen sneezing twice in succession.

Lu Yue leaned back: "...have you caught a cold?"

"No, I'm a little allergic." Feng Yi said.

"Why are you allergic? Are you okay?"

Lu Yue looked around and didn't know what the allergen was.

"It's okay." Feng Yi replied.

Lu Yue's attention fell on the clothes Feng Yi was wearing today.

Although it is just a seemingly simple solid-color T-shirt, Lu Yue can still see the producer's intentions from many details. The fabric is also the same one I saw that day.

"Is this also custom-made for you by your elder?" Lu Yue asked.

"Yes. They are made from the same batch." Feng Yi said.

Lu Yue was really curious and couldn't help but ask again: "Is it the elder who gave you the house in Cuihu Luhai?"

Feng Yi: "No, that old man has passed away."

Lu Yue hurriedly said: "Oh, yes, you said it before. Sorry, sorry! I have been so busy lately that my mind is confused."

After a pause, Lu Yue probed: "Is that... the one who gave you the transformation car?"

Feng Yi said: "No, that's another one."

It was not convenient for Feng Yi to tell others about the housekeeper's affairs, so he looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lu Yue stopped asking any more questions.

But I was extremely curious and envious.

It is also "made to order in the same batch", which means that several pieces are ordered at one time!

What is the path of Feng Yi, the "elder"? Never heard of it!

Also, how many "elders" does Feng Yi have that are unknown to outsiders?

The less answers he got, the more mysterious it became, and the more curious Lu Yue became. Thinking about it, I went back and asked the older generation of my family to see if I could get any useful information.

At the event in the exhibition area, the audience's cheers made Lu Yue take back his thoughts.

Look outside, then look at Feng Yi.

Pity! If Feng Yi agrees to wear their brand's clothes and show his face in the live broadcast, his popularity will definitely be super hot!

But without Feng Yi’s participation, the popularity of online marketing-related topics would have to rely on buying.

Although the several Internet celebrity models and anchors they invited are relatively famous in their respective circles, there is still a gap between them and Feng Yi.

"There are too many people in the outfield, let's go to the infield?" Lu Yue suggested.

Feng Yi originally planned to do so, "Okay."

He had already walked around the outfield, and there were more and more people. Several people gathered in some remote corners, making it impossible for him to avoid people even when eating. It is inconvenient to find food and easy to be recognized.

Lu Yue said a few words to the person in charge of the exhibition area, took off his business jacket, and changed his shirt into a short-sleeved T-shirt.

There is a watch on her wrist.

Due to the Dragon Boat Festival, Lu Yue specially changed the strap to a woven strap with festive elements. The dial has no features and is simple in style.

Seeing this, Feng Yi couldn't help but think: Is he returning to his true nature after being tricked?

Seeing Feng Yi looking at the watch on his wrist, Lu Yue also thought about how he was tricked in the first place.

The first time he met Feng Yi, Feng Yi pointed out the leather problem of the watch. In today's highly regulated environment, wearing a real python skin watch would ruin your reputation quickly enough?

Although that incident has passed, the impact on Lu Yue is still there.

"As the old saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years."

You have to wear a watch, but what kind of watch to wear took Lu Yue a lot of thought.

It's not about money, it's just that he's so scared that now he doesn't even trust those famous brand stores.

Didn't it say that in the news? Some physical stores also have fakes. Although the probability is extremely low, what if it happens?

He didn't dare to gamble.

The watch Lu Yue has now is expensive, but it doesn't have any natural elements in the design style, especially those in the bionic series, and he doesn't touch anything related to animal fur, bones, etc.!

Lu Yue coughed slightly to relieve his embarrassment, and said, "Let's go."

Showing the invitation letter, the two entered the infield smoothly.

The infield is indeed quieter, and there is food, but the variety is much smaller.

Judging from the smell information, these foods tasted similar to those outside. In addition, there was Lu Yue next to him, so Feng Yi stopped staring at the food.

The consumption in the inner court is much higher than that in the outer court. For example, in this painting shop not far from the entrance, the price of an inconspicuous painting may be more than four figures, and there is no concession.

Lu Yue fell in love with a picture of Zhong Kui at a glance.

Feng Yi didn't understand this, but according to Lu Yue, the painter was a well-known figure in the circle and was particularly good at painting pictures of gods and ghosts.

The painting of Zhong Kui that Lu Yue was interested in was relatively expensive in this painting shop, but Lu Yue didn't hesitate at all, just paid and took the painting away, looking like he was "so lucky to have missed it".

"I can't tell that Brother Yue still likes this style of painting." Feng Yi looked at the paintings of Zhong Kui hanging on display in the painting shop.

In ancient times, there was a folk custom of hanging a portrait of Zhong Kui for a month during the Dragon Boat Festival to ward off evil spirits.

Feng Yi had seen other people hanging or posting pictures of Zhong Kui before.

Lu Yue said: "Hey, I don't really like it. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming..."

But judging from the neatness with which he just bought the painting, that may not be the case.

Feng Yi asked: "When I buy this kind of picture, should I hang it in the living room? In the bedroom? Or put it on the incense burner and offer it as an offering?"

Lu Yue: "It depends on personal preferences and home decoration. Although there are particularities in hanging such pictures, you must first live in a comfortable home. If it scares you or the children and elderly people at home, it will be counterproductive."

Then he asked Feng Yi: "Do you want to buy one too? This is not the kind that is printed in batches. Each painting is unique. If you miss it, it will be gone."

Feng Yi shook his head: "I'm not interested in this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and saw another painting shop.

The paintings hanging on display in that art shop are also related to the Dragon Boat Festival, and there are several pictures of Nuwa among them.

The painting is quite good.

One of them is particularly artistic, and the proportions of the portrait are just right, unlike some paintings where the tail is either too long or too short. It's just that the scale texture isn't drawn quite right.

Forget it, the requirements can't be too high.

Feng Yi pointed to the painting, "Boss, help me install that painting."

Lu Yue laughed beside him, "You're so fast in the face!"

Feng Yi was not embarrassed, "Isn't this what you said? It's already here."

He did not intend to hang the painting at home, but as a souvenir of the event.

Feng Yi even had a hunch that if he hung this painting in Yangcheng's house, the housekeeper would definitely not be happy.

After all, the tail wasn't drawn perfectly.

Lu Yue didn't know Feng Yi's true thoughts. He just thought that Feng Yi was just like him, buying paintings and going back to his house.

He looked at the pictures of Nuwa in the painting shop. The upper body looks pretty good, but the lower body, that snake-like tail...

Forget it, let’s just hang the picture of Zhong Kui!

After buying the painting, Lu Yue took Feng Yi straight to another place, "I'd like to recommend a particularly interesting one to you!"

After a while.

Feng Yi and Lu Yue sat together and lined up.

The surroundings are filled with the smell of realgar wine.

In front, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe was using realgar wine to draw talismans on people.

Lu Yue: "This talisman painter is amazing!"

Feng Yi: "...sneeze!"
