The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival, is one of China's traditional festivals with rich customs and activities.

In addition to making rice dumplings, there are some common traditional customs.

For example, dragon boat racing is one of the most famous activities of the Dragon Boat Festival. It originated from the ancient Chu people rowing dragon boats to salvage Qu Yuan's body, and later evolved into dragon boat racing.

There are also hanging mugwort and calamus. People often hang mugwort and calamus on their doors, believing that they can ward off evil spirits, avoid epidemics and bring good luck.

People also drink realgar wine. In some areas, there is a custom of drinking realgar wine. Realgar is a mineral and people believe it has the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

Some people also wear sachets. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people wear sachets filled with fragrant herbs to repel insects and ward off evil spirits.

Children will wear bracelets or anklets woven with five-colored silk threads, which symbolize health and peace.

Eat salted duck eggs. In some areas, there is a tradition of eating salted duck eggs during the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted duck eggs represent reunion and health.

Flying kites. In some places, there is a custom of flying kites on the Dragon Boat Festival. People believe that flying kites can take away the bad luck of the year.

Beating drums to drive away diseases. In some areas, people beat drums to drive away diseases and evil spirits.

Eat mung bean cake. Mung bean cake is a seasonal food during the Dragon Boat Festival. Because of its cooling and heat-relieving properties, it is suitable for consumption in summer.

Bathing in orchid soup is a bathing method that uses herbs such as mugwort and calamus to boil water to cleanse the body and drive away diseases.

Writing talismans, writing or posting them on doors or walls, is a way to pray for family peace and ward off evil spirits. However, in this era, no one dares to use talismans anymore.

The Dragon Boat Festival is also a day for family reunions. People visit relatives and friends, give each other gifts, and spend the holiday together.

Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters were educated youth who went to the countryside. They had no relatives left, only some friends, not to mention Chen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang. They would definitely celebrate the holidays together.

There are also Wu Dagang and the team leader, who are all very nice to Zhou Ziwen.

Zhou Ziwen prepared to send some of the rice dumplings to them after they were made.

In addition to rice dumplings, Zhou Ziwen also planned to make some mung bean cakes to follow the solar terms, which would be a perfect snack for the two sisters.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Ziwen soaked some more mung beans.

After finishing these, he had some free time.

He took the two kittens in the house to the yard and let them play there while he made a cup of tea and found a book to read.

Since going to the countryside, he has bought a lot of books to read.

It cost a lot of money just to buy books.

But it was money well spent.

Knowledge is money. He has an auto-switch panel, and all the knowledge he has read will become his foundation.

When he was free, Zhou Ziwen opened the auto-play panel and took a look.

Tai Chi LV3 (15/300)

Fishing Level 4 (373/400)

[Feng Shui Level 0 (461/500)]

[Farming Level 0 (326/500)]

After looking at the proficiency of various skills, he set his sights on bow and arrow making.

The new bow and arrow has been made, so there is no need for him to continue improving his bow and arrow making skills.

The seventh level of bow making is enough.

After thinking about it, he took down the bow and arrow making skill and put the archery skill on idle.

[Archery LV7 (199/700)]

Coincidentally, the levels of the bow making skill and the archery skill, including the proficiency, are exactly the same.

In this part of the country, archery is still very useful.

Zhou Ziwen plans to keep this skill idle until it reaches the maximum level.

The higher the level, the more helpful it will be for him to go hunting in the mountains.

In the next period of time, he plans to hunt more prey and then sell them on the black market to make more money.

…

At noon, accompanied by the production team's broadcast, the two sisters returned home.

When they returned home, Zhou Ziwen was busy cooking in the kitchen.

He took a fish out of the stone jar and made a steamed fish.

Then he took a piece of bacon from the cellar and made a stew.

Finally, there are a few vegetables that Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi like to eat.

"Brother Ziwen, what delicious food have you made again?" Chen Qiaoyi curiously approached the kitchen door and watched Zhou Ziwen busying around.

"Haha, I just made a few dishes. Wash your hands first and get ready to eat." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

Hearing this, the two sisters obediently went to wash their hands and prepare for lunch.

When they finished cleaning up, Zhou Ziwen just brought the last dish to the table.

"Wow, what a sumptuous meal!" Chen Qiaoyi couldn't help but admire the delicious dishes on the table.

"Ziwen, thank you for your hard work." Chen Shiying also praised with a smile, feeling very warm in her heart.

The three of them sat around the dining table, enjoying the lunch Zhou Ziwen had carefully prepared.

After lunch, Zhou Ziwen and the two sisters cleaned up the dishes together, and then said to the two sisters: "I plan to make mung bean cakes this afternoon. Do you want to eat some?"

"Mung bean cake? Of course I have to eat it!" Chen Qiaoyi said excitedly. She can never resist sweets.

Chen Shiying also nodded: "Mung bean cake is refreshing and refreshing, it is perfect for summer."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and began to prepare the ingredients for mung bean cake.

He drained the soaked mung beans and then steamed them.

While steaming the mung beans, he prepared some ingredients, such as white sugar, osmanthus flowers, etc.

After the mung beans are steamed, he mashes them into a paste, adds sugar and osmanthus flowers, mixes well, and then puts them into a mold to press them into shape.

After a while, pieces of tempting green mung bean cakes were ready.

The Chen sisters couldn't help swallowing when looking at the mung bean cakes.

Zhou Ziwen cut a small piece for them to try. After tasting it, the two sisters both praised it highly.

"Brother Ziwen, with your skills, you can open a pastry shop." Chen Qiaoyi said half-jokingly.

Chen Shiying also agreed with a smile: "Yes, this mung bean cake is so delicious."

Zhou Ziwen was very happy after hearing this: "As long as you like it, we can make more for the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow and share it with relatives and friends in the village."

In the afternoon, the two sisters went to work at the mushroom cultivation base. Zhou Ziwen had nothing to do at home, so he planned to go to the health center.

By the way, he is also a health worker in the village and receives work points as a health worker.

Zhou Ziwen came to the clinic and found Zhu Jianguo bandaging a villager's wound.

When he saw Zhou Ziwen, Zhu Jianguo seemed a little surprised, but he soon smiled.

"Ziwen, why are you here?" Zhu Jianguo asked while bandaging the wound.

Zhou Ziwen walked to the side, looked at Zhu Jianguo's skillful movements, and nodded: "Come and see how you are doing."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianguo paused for a moment, then continued with his work: "Ziwen, it's great that you're here. I had some questions I wanted to ask you."

After Zhu Jianguo finished treating the villagers' wounds, the two began to discuss medical issues.

Of course, while it's called a discussion, Zhou Ziwen was actually the one doing most of the talking. (End of this chapter)
