All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 972: Dragon Boat Race

The two maids sang together, which made Yu Youyao lose face. She made a face and glared: "If you talk nonsense again, I will punish each of you with a bowl of coptis soup."

At this moment, someone knocked on the carriage, making a "knock-knock" sound.

Yu Youyao quickly stepped forward, opened the door of the carriage, lifted the curtain, bent down and got out of the carriage, and saw Yin Huaixi standing next to the carriage.

He changed into a mountain-colored straight dress, which made him look even more slender and as rugged as a mountain.

Yin Huaixi was also stunned, not expecting that she would come out of the car.

She is wearing a moon-white dress, with a light blue to white color and a light and watery texture, just like the moonlight. It is not bland or bright, but it has a noble and bright look, which makes her face as pure as water.

Yin Huaixi's eyes flashed with astonishment. When she raised her eyes, she saw an apricot blossom blooming between the Wushan clouds on her temples. The light orb trembled lightly on her cheeks, which made her skin as clear as snow and sparkling with jade.

It was still the love hairpin he gave me.

Yin Huaixi thought of the ginger soup he just drank, and quickly said: "Did more sugar be added to the ginger soup? It doesn't taste as spicy as before."

Thinking of what Xia Tao had just said, Yu Youyao smiled, and the beads on her cheeks could not stop trembling slightly: "I really should make a bowl of coptis soup and let you taste it, whether it is sweet or bitter."

Yin Huaixi was so confused by her smile that he had no choice but to follow her words: "During this period, I have taken a lot of medicinal and dietary supplements, and I happen to be a little bit angry. Coptis chinensis soup is good for clearing away the heat."

Yu Youyao couldn't bear it any longer, she giggled, her head trembling with laughter: "I'll suffer you to death!"

Her voice is clear and clear, and her voice is sweet, intermittent, and twittering incessantly.

Yin Huaixi's ears were numb and soft, and he couldn't help but lower his voice: "As long as you let me drink it, it's a bowl of coptis. The bitter taste is sweet."

Yu Youyao made a big blush. She wanted to laugh but couldn't. She glared at him angrily and spat: "Why, how come your mouth looks like it's covered with honey. You know how to coax people. I won't follow you." He said, "After all, the relationship is settled. It's like a little girl's attitude. She acts softly without being pretentious or pretentious: "What are you talking about?"

Yin Huaixi's coquettish look made Yin Huaixi feel as if a cat had scratched his head. He said quickly: "If we are ready, we will set off to Taizi River now. It will take about half an hour." At this point, he paused and then continued He said: "How about you have some snacks in the car first, and then have lunch when you get to Taizi River?"

Yu Youyao nodded: "Okay."

Because of a heavy rain, the road was bumpy and full of mud. The carriage bumped all the way until it finally reached the Taizi River.

At this time, the area near Taizi River was already crowded with people.

On both sides of the river bank, simple wooden stakes were used to pull colorful ribbons to keep the enthusiastic people out of the ribbons, so as to avoid overcrowding and causing people to fall into the water and fall into the river for safety.

There is a sentry post every five steps, with Youjun soldiers wearing breastplates standing there upright, and government officials with swords patrolling constantly.

The dragon boats of each family were already docked. Yu Youyao counted them and found that there were nine teams in total, distinguished by nine colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, and silver.

There were many colorful flags hung on the high altar beside the river, which read "Good weather", "Peace and peace of the country and the people", etc., praying for auspicious words. An incense burner was placed on the altar table, and three animals were worshiped with wine. There were Taoist priests in Taoist robes. Standing on the altar, presiding over the Dragon God ritual.

It expresses that when ordinary people pray for a good life with good weather and good weather, they also have a heart of awe for nature.

However, Yu Youyao arrived a little late. The Water God Sacrifice had already ended, and the teams participating in the dragon boat race were already making final preparations.

Yin Huaixi set up his tent on the bank of the river, where he had the best view.

"The dragon boat race is about to start in half an hour. I ordered someone to buy lunch at a restaurant in the city. It's not as elaborate as Yu Yuan's, but it's more novel. It's good to try something new and change the taste. "

As Yin Huaixi spoke, he took the food box on the table, took out the prepared meals one by one, and placed four dishes and one soup.

Fresh bamboo shoots and red mushroom soup, braised pork made with vegetarian and meat dishes, pine nuts and corn, emerald colored vegetable rolls, and a large vat. Yin Huaixi opened the lid of the vat, and suddenly there was a mellow aroma of wine, accompanied by a deep aroma of food. It hits your nose.

Yu Youyao couldn't help but ask: "What is this? It smells a bit like Buddha jumping over the wall."

"It is a vegetarian mushroom Buddha jumping over the wall. It is rainy in Liaodong and is rich in more than 30 kinds of mushrooms. So some people use mushrooms to make a vegetarian mushroom Buddha jumping over the wall. Thirty-seven kinds of mushrooms are added with angelica, cinnamon twigs, astragalus, Codonopsis pilosula, etc. More than 20 kinds of medicinal materials and spices, supplemented by more than 10 kinds of dried fruits such as potatoes, chestnuts, red dates, hazelnuts, and peanuts, added with rice wine, and simmered over low heat for six hours. More than 30 kinds of mushrooms are mixed together, but each has its own flavor. , tastes very fresh, but is very nutritious, it can be compared with Buddha Jumping Over the Wall."

Yin Huaixi filled a small bowl and placed it in front of Yu Youyao. Rice wine is also an indispensable condiment. It smells like wine, but when eaten, it tastes fresh and mellow, without the smell of wine.

The golden soup is bright and refreshing, with a few wisps of oil floating on it. It is not greasy at all. The mellow aroma of the wine turns from strong to light after taking over, and the rich aroma of mushrooms comes out loudly and makes people feel hungry. move.

"It smells so good!" Yu Youyao picked up the small bowl and took a sip of the soup. Her eyes lit up: "The juice is refreshing and salty in the mouth. It concentrates the essence of the mushrooms. The taste is fresh and refreshing, and it is sweet on the teeth and cheeks. It's very delicious." tasty!"

She couldn't wait and ate a piece of red mushroom, her eyes widened: "It's soft and tender, rich in meaty aroma, meaty but not greasy, and has a savory taste. Why do mushrooms taste like abalone? I almost thought that , I just took a bite of abalone."

Yin Huaixi smiled: "The unique thing about this vegetarian Mushroom Buddha Jumping over the Wall is that it is a vegetarian and meat dish. Each kind of mushroom has the texture of a meat dish and is rich in flavor."

Next, Yu Youyao tasted them one by one, making sea cucumber-flavored matsutake mushrooms, shark's fin-flavored hazel mushrooms... There are many different flavors. In short, one word is "fresh" and two words are "very fresh".

Yu Youyao has not eaten meat for more than half a year. She already likes to eat seafood. She ate three bowls in a row and still felt a little unsatisfied.

Adhering to health care should start from childhood. Yu Youyao only eats 70% full for each meal, and accidentally overeats!

One of them couldn't hold it back and burped in front of Yin Huaixi.

Yu Youyao stared in shock, and quickly covered her mouth with her hands, feeling embarrassed to the point of her toes. As a well-educated lady, she was strictly trained in her manners and manners. How could she be so rude? !

This is so embarrassing!
