Folk stories of She nationality
Black rice is cooked with the leaves of black rice leaf firewood, and then glutinous rice is soaked in this soup for a long time. After the rice is picked up, it is steamed in a container. This kind of rice looks terrible and really unremarkable, but it tastes delicious and I still want to eat it. If you add wild vegetables, mushrooms, fungus and the like, the taste will be better.
Why is "March 3rd" of She nationality Gu Mi's birthday? And must eat black rice? There is another story.
It was a long, long time ago in March. Due to insect pests and poor harvest years ago, coupled with the increase in rent and taxes by mountain owners, every household of the She nationality lacked food. The hateful mountain owner even took the grain seeds. Her people suffer from starvation.
However, the ruthless mountain owner gloated. Instead of lending grain seeds, they released vicious dogs and bit the She people who came to borrow grain.
We can't stand it any longer. One night, Lan Tianfeng, a strong man, took several young students over the wall and entered the main courtyard of the mountain. They pried open the granary, carried the seeds back to the stockade bag by bag, and sowed them overnight.
The next day, the mountain owner found that the granary was stolen, so he took a dozen thugs and rushed to the stockade of the She nationality like crazy. In order to save the people's suffering, Lan Tianfeng stepped forward. In this way, he was put into the cell, which was the third day of March.
In the dungeon, Lan Tianfeng was beaten black and blue, and the mountain owner colluded to see the crooked mouth of the cell, not giving Lan Tianfeng food and starving him alive.
When the news came out, the elders and sisters of the She nationality went to visit the prison one after another. They beat the remaining seeds into rice, cooked them into rice and kneaded them into balls.
The rice ball was sent to prison. But the rice ball fell into a crooked mouth, and Lan Tianfeng didn't get a bite.
On this day, it was the best singer in Sheshan who delivered food to the dungeon. The clever girl came up with a solution to the hateful crooked mouth.
At noon, the kind-hearted xiunv was carrying a bamboo basket, which contained hemp bags and brought rice. Looking at the girl's crooked mouth, she opened the sack and put her hand in. At this moment, I suddenly screamed with a crooked mouth, and then jumped up and down. However, the bamboo basket is small, and I still can't get out after jumping for a long time, rolling around with my mouth crooked. It turns out that the sack is filled with black, big and poisonous mountain ants. The crooked mouth was bitten by a mountain ant and died of poisoning that day.
Since then, Shejia has collected black rice leaves and firewood from the mountains for lunch. Cooked black rice looks like a huddled mountain ant from a distance, and the jailer who was trapped by the mountain ant tourism never dared to eat dinner again.
Over time, Lan Tianfeng ate black rice every day, which not only healed the wound, but also added a lot of strength. Therefore, in Sheshan, black rice can cure diseases.
On the third day of March of the third year, Lan Tianfeng was finally rescued by the rebel army and was elected as the leader of the rebel army. In order to remind future generations of the hard-won rice of the She nationality, "March 3rd" was designated as Gu Mi's birthday. Gu Mi changed from shiny to bright black, as if wearing a gorgeous dress. Therefore, there is a saying in Sheshan that black rice is cooked to dress Gu Mi in gorgeous clothes for his birthday. According to legend, the dark blue linen clothes that she people usually like to wear are the truth they learned from here. Wearing this kind of clothes can not only prevent sun poisoning, but also the mountain ants dare not bite.
