After the first harvest, we followed the Shui Hau tradition of using the initial batch of rice for worship, and on the same day, we hosted a rice-tasting event, aiming to share our accomplishments with the cooperative villagers of Shui Hau in the most direct manner. Simultaneously, we hoped to express our heartfelt gratitude to the villagers of Shui Hau for their enduring support through the rice-tasting event. On the day of the event, not only did the villagers who strongly supported us participate, but even the granny of Shui Hau, who usually stayed indoors, joined in! Witnessing the smiles on everyone's faces, we felt that all the preparation and effort were truly worthwhile! The kind-hearted villagers generously shared their homegrown vegetables and other agricultural products, adding a touch of elegance to the rice-tasting event! Coinciding with the Lunar New Year, while sharing the first harvest, we also extended our wishes to the villagers of Shui Hau for a healthy, peaceful, and prosperous Year of the Dragon, filled with abundance and prosperity!
