[Liang Zhu] Yingtai took me to fly

A group of people came behind everyone in the academy.It is understandable to say the word "little white face" from their mouths, because these people are all tall and strong, and their exposed skin is brown.Compared with them, the students and gentlemen in the academy are really like chickens.

Ma Wencai went forward consciously, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, I'm from Nishan Academy. I don't know if the dragon boat is launched today?"

The person in the lead clasped his fists and said, "We are the Golden Wind Bodyguard Agency in Qiantang County, and we are also launching dragon boats. Just now, my brother can't speak, please forgive me."

The first few people moved away, and Marvin saw two groups of people coming out from behind, carrying a black dragon boat with a sinister face, and put it on the lake.They all wore the same black shorts, with the words "Golden Wind" embroidered on their shoulders.

The leader said "excuse me" and waved his hand, and the rest of the people started busy, preparing to set off to worship the gods.

These Ma Wencai were also prepared, and he felt that the people in the escort agency were not willing to deal with them, so he went back to the boat in their academy.

The Golden Wind Escort has won the title of "Boat King" several times, and the black dragon boat has also become their representative.

The two groups of people were clearly separated, maintaining a subtle calm.

A student in the academy who had participated in the previous dragon boat race said in a low voice: "The dragon boat of the Golden Wind Bodyguard Bureau is the strongest in the county. I'm afraid they will also be able to win the 'Boat King' this year."

Marvin just heard it, turned to look at him, and didn't turn back until he blushed and lowered his head.He seemed to be talking to himself: "Anyone who thinks that the academy is bound to lose can leave, lest God hear it and think that we are just thinking about losing."

There was a slight commotion in the crowd, but no one left.

Ma Wencai waited until the end of the god sacrifice, stood on the dragon boat, looked at the students in the academy one by one, and said in a deep voice: "I only do things with the intention of winning. Our hands are not weak, and the boat is not bad. The training in the past half a month is not fake. If anyone still wants to lose, I can only treat him as a soft bastard who can't afford to be a leader, and he will be a deserter when he goes to the battlefield. Are you?"

There were a few sporadic "no"s from the crowd.

Ma Wencai frowned, and shouted, "Are you a jerk?"

"No." The voice was a little more tidy.

"Is it a deserter?"

"No!" The voice grew louder.

"Is it a man!"

"No!" "Yes!" The crowd fell silent, and then burst out laughing.

Ma Wencai also laughed, and asked one last time: "Nishan Academy, can you win!"

"Yes!" The voice was loud, especially the members of the boat team, all excited, eager to get on the boat immediately.

Naturally, Ma Wencai jumped off the dragon boat and let them test the voyage.

This dragon boat looks ordinary, but it is exquisitely designed in details.

The body of the boat is streamlined as a whole, with a sharp head and tail and low resistance.The scales engraved on the outside of the boat body are also polished extremely smooth, and the shape is also streamlined.Both the dragon head and the dragon tail are hollow, fitting with the boat body, light and beautiful.

When the dragon boat was like water, the boat team rowed a few times on the boat, showing a look of surprise.

The wooden oars fit together, and the dragon boat can be pushed forward with less effort.Ma Wencai really built a good boat this time!

They smiled, their confidence increased greatly, and they started paddling with a haha ​​ha ha.

Mr. Zhou stood on the shore watching for a while, patted Ma Wencai on the shoulder, and said, "Well done."

The Golden Wind Escort has also entered the water, and a few people standing on the shore gathered beside the leader, and have been paying attention to the movements of the Nishan Academy.

"Brother, this group of little white faces looks different this year."

"Their dragon boat is really good, and the rudder is also very good. I hope that the boat will not be wasted, and my heart will be distressed."

"The kid at the head is new here. I think he made it up. It's interesting."

"Hmph, I've always found them distasteful. What can a group of people who can't carry their shoulders and hands do? There's nothing to see."

They spoke quietly, and no one paid attention to it.Mr. Zhou led them back soon. If it wasn't for the auspicious time, they would all be lecturing and listening to lectures in Orthodoxy.

With the launch of the dragon boat, the training also transferred to the lake for field practice.The people in the boat team practiced until sunset every day, and they were all exhausted when they came back.It was Ma Wencai again who organized the group of logistics staff who were in charge of assistance, to pick up and drop off the carriage in shifts.

Although no one mentioned the meeting with the Golden Wind Escort that day, it did leave an impact on many people's hearts.The whole boat team took a deep breath and decided to win the competition.

Fortunately, Xiling Lake was big enough, and they hadn't met with the Golden Wind Escorts again, otherwise Ma Wencai was worried that there would be a fight.

In a blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival has arrived.

Ma Wen woke up early in the morning, and herbs such as calamus and mugwort were hung on the doors and windows.Sanqi and the others were cooking rice dumplings in the courtyard, and the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of wild wild leaves.

"Young master, what kind of stuffing do you want?"

"Meat ones, and egg yolk ones!" Ma Wencai stared eagerly at Sanqi, took out the hot rice dumplings, untied them, and put them on a plate, his saliva was almost too late to swallow.

Zhu Yingtai saw this scene as soon as she went out, and Ma Wencai looked like a puppy waiting to be fed.When Ma Wencai saw him coming out, he quickly waved: "Xinzhai, come quickly, this rice dumpling and horn millet are extremely delicious."

After Zhu Yingtai sat down, Ma Wen eagerly picked out a meat-filled one and put it in his bowl, urging: "Eat quickly, eat more meat, you will have strength during the dragon boat race."

Before Zhu Yingtai could speak, Yin Xin said, "Young Master Ma, our young master likes to eat red beans."

Zhu Yingtai waved her hand and said, "I think this is good, I haven't eaten it before." Then, she picked up a piece of millet stained with gravy with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.There is no big boy of this age who does not like meat. The aroma of meat, rice, and leaves is mixed, and it is delicious without being greasy. It is really delicious.

Ma Wencai looked at him with some embarrassment, and said, "Xinzhai, I didn't know you liked red bean stuffing. If you don't like meat, I'll help you eat it."

Zhu Yingtai lifted the bowl and said, "You've already given it to me, and you still want to take it back?" Seeing Ma Wencai's exposed wrist, she said, "Why didn't you bring the five-color silk?"

"Five-color silk?"

Zhu Yingtai untied a section of rope woven with silk threads of five colors from her wrist, and tied it on for Ma Wencai herself, saying, "Don't take it off, it will drive away epidemics and avoid ghosts."

Ma Wencai's face was a little hot, and he said, "What about you?"

Zhu Yingtai smiled and said, "Just give me yours later."

After the lively meal, a group of people went out.The academy was also unusually crowded, with people everywhere.Not to mention those who participated in the dragon boat race, everyone else also planned to watch it, cheering for the dragon boat race in their academy.

All the carriages and ox carts in the academy were used, but they still couldn't carry them.Ma Wencai had expected this for a long time, and rented some cars in advance from Qiantang County and nearby counties to take people to Xiling Lake.After sending off the people from the academy, you can go to the county and nearby villages to pick up people to earn some small money.

The road is full of cars and horses, and the conversation and laughter of men and women can almost reach the clouds.

By the lake, some people have discovered that this year's dragon boat race seems to be quite different from previous years.

In the place with a wide view by the lake, several areas were surrounded by wooden slats and thick ropes.Some are farther away from the shore, but the terrain is not high enough, and a few high platforms have been built.The road from the main road to the lake also has some well-divided places, and some small vendors sell things in it, such as snacks, sachets, and five-color silk, which are rare and neat.

Carriages were not allowed to get too close to the shore, and there were government servants standing by the side of the road to maintain order. Only then did they know that there was a special place for carriages.

Zhu Yingtai looked around and praised: "Yihua, the idea you came up with is really good."

Ma Wencai was not modest either, and said: "Look at the hawkers, they all have to pay for their stalls. There is also the high platform with the best view, and those positions also require payment. After all, setting up a platform is also a labor-intensive task." .”

In fact, it was more than that. When Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo entered the field specially prepared for the contestants with the boat team, they saw that there were also ropes on the lake to mark out the racing area.Many boat teams were a little puzzled, but Liang and Zhu looked at each other and smiled, knowing it well.

Ma Wencai's theory is common sense in modern times, and there are many places where competitive sports can be used to make money.In addition to selling tickets and booths, he also has the biggest trick, selling advertising spaces.

There is a conspicuous area by the lake, where many boats are docked. The hulls of the boats look brand new, and they are covered with roofs to protect them from the rain. The names of the shops in the store, including restaurants and clothing stores, are novel to people, and there is a lot of discussion.When the bosses who put their shop names on it heard it, they felt relieved.

A good number of the counties headed straight for the boats as soon as they got here.When the boat was full of people, the boatman leisurely pushed the boat away from the lake shore and approached the competition area.In the past, there were rich people who prepared their own boats and went to watch the dragon boats near the races.It's just that there were no fixed rules in the past. Occasionally, private cruise ships ran into the dragon boat room, which affected the competition.This time, Ma Wen had discussed with the county magistrate, and they were all forbidden. If you want to board a boat to watch the game in the lake, you can only use the official boat.

Many people whose families are rich and wealthy, but don't want to be crowded with others, have their eyes brightened, and they sent their servants to inquire about the situation.Only then did Ma Wen know that many people were not short of money, so the price was set high.Of course, there are cheaper ones, but the boats are not as good-looking and comfortable as others, and there are no snacks and fruits.Even if it is to save face, those people still have to stare at the expensive, the most expensive.

When it was auspicious time, the magistrate of Qiantang County arrived.After sacrificing to the gods, he boarded the most gorgeous double-decker cruise ship and slowly entered the lake.The dragon boats participating in the competition also entered the scheduled starting line one after another, and the crowd on the shore immediately seemed to be boiling, and all of them stretched their necks, for fear of missing the scene of the competition.

Following the order of the county magistrate, a person on the top of the cruise ship suddenly waved a flag, and the dragon boat in the lake was beating loudly and set off!
