A festival can give many meanings.
For example, the Five Poisons Festival, which is about to begin in the world.
At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, realgar drives away evil spirits.
On the earth in the previous life, when it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival, many people will think of allusions to mourn Qu Yuan.
But in Xuanzhengzhou, the original festival in May is mainly to drive away evil spirits and avoid drugs.
Every household worships the five poisonous gods, hangs mugwort leaves, drinks realgar, and children also need to bring five-colored ropes to pray for the protection of the five poisonous gods and will not be bitten by poisonous insects.
Qinghong and Li Jingxun entered the WTO to open a restaurant, and the first festival they encountered happened to be this Dragon Boat Festival.
The two of them found a place and named it Tianbao Restaurant.
On this day, a kind of five-poison cake painted with the pattern of the five poisons is specially made.
This pastry seems to be based on the five poisons, but it is filled with peanut yolk, red dates, mung bean paste, yam puree, black sesame seeds, etc.
This is a combination of five colors, and the five kinds of fillings can be used in medicine, which has the meaning of detoxification and health.
The wheat cultivated in the five-color grain is then ground into flour to make the dough.
The Five Poisons Cake was crispy and delicious, and it was soon sought after by a large group of people.
Taking this opportunity, Qinghong took out another snack he had made - horn millet.
Horn millet, Li Jingxun is very familiar with this snack.
On that day, the two made an agreement to go down to the earth to build a restaurant, and the cause of this was horn millet.
Horn millet is the zongzi of Qinghong's previous life.
It was originally a kind of food that arose because of the sacrifice to Qu Yuan.
But in this world, without Qu Yuan, there would naturally be no zongzi.
Therefore, Qinghong himself managed to make this snack during the Dragon Boat Festival and let the immortals taste it.
Li Jingxun thought this snack was good, so he suggested that the two of them go down the mountain to open a restaurant.
For example, today's Bao restaurant opens, and it is the Dragon Boat Festival of another year, Qinghong will launch this snack again in order to meet the occasion.
While taking out, he said silently in his heart: "I hope this kind of food can be popular in Xuanzhengzhou, find me more colleagues." ” Eating zongzi, is it sweet or salty?
Dates or egg yolks?
Or is it a spicy flavor that has sprung up?
Thinking of the sweet and salty battle in his previous life, Qinghong thought of evil taste: I will guide the diet of this world, I don't know if I can make this world also have a sweet and salty war?
Currently, he makes five flavors of horn millet.
One is the candied date dumplings, the other is the fresh meat dumplings, the other is the egg yolk dumplings, the other is the bean paste dumplings, and the other is the white jade brown (no filling).
Through these five kinds of zongzi, we will slowly guide the mortal diet of this world and strive for a new sweet and salty battle.
Of course, Qinghong is in charge of selling on the stage, and these horns are all the handiwork of Li Jingxun.
By the time they rested at noon, the horns were sold out.
There were still many customers outside the bustling crowd, Qinghong was wearing sackcloth, and smiled: "Wait a minute, wait a minute."
Rest for an hour at noon, and then take out the freshly made horn millet later. ” He went down to look for Li Jingxun, only to see Li Jingxun dressed as a chef, busy in the kitchen with great interest: "It is the first time I have learned that these horns still have so many flavors. ” There are a lot of pots and pans in front of her, and there are various fillings in them.
In the bucket next to it, there are soaked reed leaves that Qinghong picked yesterday.
Seeing that the girl was busy, Qinghong smiled: "These kinds of fillings are nothing.
Wrapping corn with glutinous rice is just a general technique.
Don't forget about the green essence and blood glutinous, that's the best product. ” "Don't worry, the blood glutinous rice and green polished rice are ready.
Go back and send it to several Taoist temples and temples in the city. ” The two of them casually found a small city in the human world to station, and at the beginning, they also asked the station of the Daode Sect in the city to help.
So, at this holiday time, go and give thanks.
Li Jingxun deliberately prepared green polished rice, dyed it and put it aside, ready to wrap horn millet for Daodaozong's companions.
And the blood glutinous on the side is used to make tonic for the old people in the city.
It can be regarded as a good deed of the two.
Qinghong pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Senior sister, wait, I'll show you a hand." ” He asked Li Jingxun to continue to work, flew away by himself, and came back after a while with two large pieces of cassava.
The starch is extracted from cassava and made into small round balls the size of thumbs.
Li Jingxun saw his movements and said strangely: "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

” "You just look at it."
Qinghong thought about it, took several kinds of pulp for filling, wrapped the small white round balls into glutinous rice into horn millet, and then steamed them in the pot.
After opening it thoroughly, Li Jingxun was surprised to find that this so-called horned millet was not the white jade color he saw, nor was it cyan or red, but a pure and clear crystal that could vaguely penetrate the past.
"This ......
Senior brother, what's going on?
” "Steamed with cornstarch, it will look like this."
Qinghong smiled, peeled two for Li Jingxun to taste, and took the other horns she had cooked to continue to sell in front.
In the afternoon, it also sold out quickly, after all, it was a fresh product, and it sold out quickly.
Even the bodies of the two immortals were busy back and forth.
It wasn't until late evening that a man suddenly came to the front of the shop.
The man was dressed as a middle-aged man, and he fanned the folding fan and stopped at the door of the store for a while.
There were not many people left, so he stepped forward to talk: "Today is the Five Poisons Festival, and the five poisons are depicted on this five poison cake, which can allow children to identify the five poisons and take precautions in advance, which is a small means to benefit the people."
So what does this horn mean?
” "Brother Tai saw that this horn was tied with five-colored threads, like a dragon, with the meaning of warding off evil spirits.
Moreover, the horn millet is made of exquisite materials, which has the meaning of health preservation. ” "Oh?"
The middle-aged man stared at the basket of horns in front of him, and suddenly smiled: "Then, I am taught." ” With that, he turned into a gust of wind and dispersed.
Qinghong's face changed, put down the work in his hand, and pondered.
"Senior brother, are you lazy?"
Li Jingxun brought out the freshly boiled corn again: "Don't hurry up and sell it next, the guests outside are waiting!"
” "Senior sister, when you go to the Taoist Temple to send horns to your fellow door in a while, take a trip to the Five Poisons Temple.
After all, people are here in person, so it's not good for us to be unclear. ” The middle-aged man just now, if you think about it carefully, isn't it the appearance of the Five Poison Divine Monarchs!
Seeing Qinghong's expression, Li Jingxun vaguely guessed a few points: Presumably we made the Five Poison Cake and flowed out a new snack to attract the attention of this Divine Monarch?
"Senior brother, don't worry, although this Divine Monarch is known as the 'Five Poisons', he is a respected righteous god who is harmless to you and me."
"It's true that it's harmless, but I'm afraid that people will ask for something, so I have to pay attention to it!"
Qinghong shook his head and continued to sell.
That night, Qinghong and Li Jingxun were busy all day, drinking tea and resting in the tea room behind the store.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Qinghong and Li Jingxun felt something.
Li Jingxun smiled and said: "Yes, senior brother, you have not been giving up for a day, and now that the Lord is here, you can find him yourself!"
With that, she made another cup of tea and brought a chair.
"Shenjun, you are a guest, please take a seat."
Qinghong also brought out the five poison cakes and horn millet: "Since the Divine Monarch has come to the small mansion, please come out and see it." ” The Five Poison Divine Monarch swaggered and appeared: "The two little friends worship the horn millet of the temple, and the gods have already enjoyed it.
Yes, it's quite in line with my taste, so I'm here to thank you. ” "Thank you, I think the Divine Monarch has something to ask for."
"Yes, it's rare to meet two mortal immortals.
Benjun wants the two of you to do one favor. ”
