Five Color Rice March 3

Chapter 74

I was invited by my sister in Hainan to the mountains in Tunchang, Hainan. I drove all the way. The scenery along the way was breathtaking. The sky was particularly blue and there were huge flowers. White clouds are floating in the sky. There is no bare land, there are betel nut forests and green grass everywhere. Open the car window, and the fragrance of flowers and herbs is refreshing. There are many butterflies dancing gracefully. The wind gently kissed the face, and the air was extremely fresh and refreshing.

People often say that three women live in one car. The four of us were joking and singing along the way. My brother-in-law drove the car quietly and let us crazy people have fun. The 40-minute drive arrived before I knew it.

At the first stop, we arrived at a reservoir, which was so beautiful that it was indescribable. The boss here is a mainlander. He was assigned to a farm here when he was young, and later assigned back to Guizhou. After retirement, he returned here to plant betel nuts and fish. The boss is over 70 years old and is planning to sell the place and go home to retire. It is said that it can be sold for more than 10 million.

I didn’t see the boss, only one of his relatives was here feeding the fish, and my sister invited us to drink tea and eat bananas. The bananas here are so delicious, naturally ripe, and different from bananas in mainland China.

The second stop is today’s destination. We took the gifts we brought from the car and started shouting happily: We are here! The owner came out from the slope to greet me with a smile on his face. He was very happy when he saw it. After welcoming us into the guest room, the hostess immediately cut the watermelon and poured tea. An old lady was sitting on the crib, and we immediately went over to say hello. Grandma's hearing is no longer good, her back is very heavy, and her face is tanned by the sun, but she has a very happy smile on her face. Sister Aping introduced: This is our teacher, the teacher who makes enzymes. I quickly held my grandma’s hand, and she started speaking a Hainanese dialect that I couldn’t understand. Sister Aping quickly translated to me and said: Grandma said, thank you, you are the benefactor of their whole family. Later, when we sat down, Sister Aping introduced the situation of their family in detail.

It turns out that the old grandma in front of me is already 88 years old. In 1952, the country established a farm in Hainan, and she was the first batch of employees. Now her sons and grandsons are working on the farm. Generations of people have spent their youth on the farm. I stayed on the farm in Dashan. My grandma had more than 3,000 yuan after retirement. However, my grandma was in poor health and needed to see a doctor and take medicine all year round. The year before last, her daughter-in-law bought an enzyme bucket from sister A Ping and started making enzyme. The whole family drank it and benefited from it.

My grandma’s skin used to be itchy, but now it’s not itchy anymore. His heart disease has improved a lot, and he even encouraged his son to take him on a trip to Sanya. This old man, who could not walk before, has greatly changed his body by taking enzymes and ancient diet, and is now very healthy.

When I heard these words, a warm current surged up in my chest, my eyes filled with tears, and I choked with sobs and didn’t know what to say. I am so happy. I never thought that a small enzyme bucket would spread to the mountains of Hainan and benefit an 88-year-old man. I feel that what we have done is so worthwhile.

The hostess is in her early 50s, very enthusiastic, loves to laugh, talks loudly, is chubby, and has been busy in the kitchen, sweating profusely. Lunch started, it was so rich and delicious, including boiled chicken, fish from your own fish pond, various meats, and vegetables. In order to welcome our arrival, we specially invited a beautiful woman from the Miao ethnic group to prepare five-color rice for us one day in advance. It took a lot of effort to make this five-color rice. We soaked the glutinous rice in black, yellow, red and green Chinese medicinal soup in advance. We got up at five o'clock in the morning and used firewood to cook the rice little by little until it was just cooked when we ate at noon. Eating five-color rice is a custom of the Miao people on March 3rd. The five colors represent the five blessings. There is also ancient Chinese culture in which the five colors nourish the five internal organs. The five-color rice is particularly delicious. I have never eaten it before. It is really unforgettable.

The owner is a 53-year-old handsome guy. I heard he was a prodigal son when he was young, and he has many tattoos on his body. But now he is very, very amazing, and can also be said to be a successful person. He is now the grandfather of two grandchildren. The couple is very loving and hard-working. They started from scratch in the mountains and have developed to the present in more than ten years. It has more than 20 acres of betel nut forest, a large fishing pond, a flock of sheep, a flock of chickens, and a guard dog.

Nowadays, everything is mechanized. Feeding fish, watering vegetables, and watering betel nuts are all automatically irrigated, which is so convenient.

This boss also benefited from enzymes. He suffered from insomnia for six years and was sent to Anding Hospital when it was most serious. The doctor tested him and gave him 100 questions. He answered 98 questions. Although it was confirmed that he was not a madman, he still couldn't He was cured of his insomnia and it was enzymes that saved him, allowing him to sleep until dawn and create so much wealth with his hands. Including the chubby hostess, she said that she used to be fatter. She lost more than ten pounds after drinking enzymes, and she was very happy.

The whole family treated me as a guest and thanked us so much that we were all embarrassed.

The male owner happily took us to see his results. He also let us sit on the boat and took us for a ride in the fish pond. Listening to the crowing of chickens and the crowing of sheep, watching the fish eating on the water, the little dogs wagging their tails, and looking at the betel nut forest bathed in the sun, the papaya trees full of fruits, and the sticky trees full of beautiful flowers. Yes, I really applaud this handsome guy for his hard work.

This family is located on the mountainside. They are the only one. They are surrounded by green mountains, green trees, blue sky and white clouds. It is like a fairy-like day. As a person who grew up in the city, I am really envious.

The couple even extended a warm invitation and drove us to the tourist attractions developed by the state.

The day's travel is over, and the memories left behind are full of green. Green fish ponds, green betel nut forests, green mountains, green grass. . .
