Chapter 15 Zongzi is Zongzi
The two chatted a few more words, and Mi Yanran and Chen Kai said goodbye and went home.
After closing the stall, Chen Kai pedaled the three wheels, feeling a little in a trance, thinking about Mi Yanran's words, and returned to the rental house.
Lying on the bed after taking a shower, Chen Kai was stunned for a while, feeling that his thoughts were much more complicated than when he had just graduated, and patted his face with his hand, forcing himself not to think cranky.
"The day after tomorrow, what kind of stuffing is good?" Chen Kai took out his mobile phone and searched for the keyword "zongzi filling" on the Internet, but the results of the search often ended with the struggle between the sweet party and the salty party in the comment area.
"It's hard to reconcile...... You can't use fairy green peppers to wrap zongzi. Chen Kai had a headache and threw his phone on the bed.
Suddenly, there was a flash of electricity in his head, and Chen Kai hurriedly sat up, grabbed his mobile phone, and opened the text message.
"I remember it seeming...... It's still ahead. Chen Kai muttered as he pulled his fingers down.
"That's it. Chen Kai's gaze froze, and the screen was the second text message he received after he first obtained a good karma point.
"Dear users, congratulations on reaching a good relationship, now Tianting Food God Fang is a big discount, and the recent special products are pushed as follows:
The clearance special offer for fairyland eggplant this season starts from 20 catties, as low as 5 good fate points;
The long-term supply of fairy cabbage starts from 300 catties, and it is as low as 300 good fate points;
Celestial......
Glutinous rice ...... fairy world"
"There it is!"
Chen Kai finally found it and carefully checked the content of the entry.
"The long-term supply of glutinous rice in the fairy world starts at 400 catties, as low as 50 good fate points. ”
Chen Kai frowned, why is it still 400 pounds. Is it impossible to supply without it?
Fairy world glutinous rice, as soon as he saw these four words, Chen Kai's curiosity flew up.
I have seen the fairy green pepper and the fairy eggplant before, if the ordinary glutinous rice is produced by the fairy world, what kind of magic is it?
Chen Kai thought seriously for a while, but still made up his mind and dialed out 1XXXXXX6688.
Doodle......
"Hey, what are you going to buy this time?" Chen Kai's number had obviously been memorized on the other side of the phone, and he had a familiar tone towards his old patron, and his words were full of kindness.
Chen Kai cleared his throat and said slowly, "Ahem...... That, I want to buy some glutinous rice this time, but it's ......."
"But what?" Hearing Chen Kai's hesitation, the other side hurriedly asked.
"But this time it's just to entertain friends, it doesn't take too much, if it is sold at 400 catties, it is not cost-effective. ”
There was a slight pause on the other side, as if they were hesitating about something, and after a long time, the humble male voice came again:
"Don't hide it from the immortals, the rice seeds of glutinous rice in this fairy world were also planted by the gods in the garden three hundred years ago because they missed the lower realm, and there are not too many immortals to purchase on weekdays, so it is so cheap.
If you just buy a little, I'm afraid there is no way to give you too good a price. ”
When Chen Kai heard it, there was no way to get a discount, but he didn't say that he couldn't buy it.
"Then if I buy 100 catties, what price. ”
"For the sake of you being a regular customer, I will give you a cost price, 20 good fate points. ”
Chen Kai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he could afford it.
"Then bring me 100 catties of fairy glutinous rice. ”
As soon as he heard that the business was negotiated, the other side hurriedly agreed with an excited tone: "Immortal Chief, rest assured, the goods will be delivered immediately." ”
As soon as the other side hung up the phone, a large white cloth pocket fell heavily on the floor of the rental house.
Ding-dong, a new short message.
"Dear user, you have ordered 100 catties of Tianting Food God Fang Fairy Realm Glutinous Rice, and you have paid 20 good karma points, and the balance of good karma points is 0, thank you for your patronage. ”
Gotcha, it's clear again.
Chen Kai didn't have time to care about the good fate, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the white cloth pocket.
As soon as I opened the bag, I didn't see the appearance of the glutinous rice in the fairy world.
It's so fragrant!
Chen Kai smelled the sudden fragrance of glutinous rice, and felt that a wave of sweet air gushed out of the bag, rushing to his face, and the aroma was like substance, surrounding the tip of his nose.
"It's incredible. Chen Kai opened the mouth of the bag, and a piece of glutinous rice as white as snowflakes and particles like beads came into view.
Chen Kai picked it up with his hand and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.
There are generally two kinds of ordinary glutinous rice, one is called indica glutinous, which is slender and sticky;
There is another kind of japonica glutinous rice, which is round and short in shape, sweet and greasy in taste, and slightly inferior in viscosity to long glutinous rice.
But the fairy glutinous rice in front of him looks quite peculiar.
In terms of shape, this handful of glutinous rice is the same length as indica waxy but round and full, and the particles appear large but very symmetrical;
In terms of color, a grain of glutinous rice faintly reflects the same golden stone luster as Tian Meiyu under the skin;
Pinch it with your hands, it is not soft, not hard and slightly elastic;
When you smell it, the aroma of glutinous rice lingers in your nose for a long time, as if you are in a dry grain field, mixed with the smell of the sun.
Smelling the aroma of this peculiar glutinous rice, Chen Kai couldn't help but think of a children's song that his elders taught him to sing when he was a child.
May 5 is Duanyang, the door is full of mugwort, eat zongzi and sprinkle sugar, and the dragon boat is launched into the water with joy.
It seems that there is no need for any stuffing.
Chen Kai looked at the glutinous rice in front of him and smiled lightly, he didn't know what the effect of this glutinous rice was steamed, and his heart was suddenly full of expectations for the activities of the day after tomorrow.
A dreamless night.
The food court on Saturday was much lighter than usual because the students were at home during the holidays.
After noon, after the early meal, the stall owners on the food street took advantage of the fact that they were not ready to open in the afternoon, and gathered together to chat.
Chen Kai stood in front of Ding Yuan's stall and watched the movements of Ding Yuan's hands.
"Hey, look at my whirlwind roasting method!" Ding Yuan looked like a martial arts master, burning the charcoal fire to the maximum, holding more than a dozen skewers in his hands, and turning the skewers up and down alternately with the fingers of both hands.
Chen Kai moved a little farther away to avoid the charcoal fire sparks collapsing to him, and moved to the side to avoid the smoke.
"Lao Ding, okay, I've been waiting for a long time. ”
"Right away, wait for me to turn twice. ”
"After two more turns, the oil is dry. ”
"Alright, alright. Ding Yuan picked up the tongs and pulled the charcoal fire aside.
"Here, I'll give you a taste. Ding Yuan took out two of the dozen skewers and handed them to Chen Kai.
Chen Kai carefully looked at the unknown skewers in front of him, which looked a little like squid, but slightly transparent, some like pigskin but looked slightly thin, and there were folds in the circles.
After watching it for a long time, he still didn't dare to say it, so he looked up and asked: "Lao Ding, this is your secret weapon for the Dragon Boat Festival?
Ding Yuan looked at it with disdain: "I said that it is a secret weapon and can tell you in advance, please eat so many words, taste it first, I promise that you can eat it." ”
Chen Kai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and smelled it, this skewer was indeed quite fragrant, and he couldn't help but gently bite down on a piece and taste it.
"Huh, Lao Ding, it's really good!" This unknown skewer should be some kind of seafood, full of seafood, chewy, and with a unique flavor of black pepper condiment, Chen Kai couldn't help but taste it again.
Ding Yuan looked triumphant, picked up a string and shook it in front of Chen Kai.
"Of course, I was counting on this thing to make a fortune during the Dragon Boat Festival, this time I made a lot of money, and the raw materials alone were more than 400 pounds, and that guy made me feel distressed. ”
Seeing Ding Yuan's hemorrhage, Chen Kai became even more curious: "More than 400 pounds? What the hell is this, don't sell it, tell me quickly, should it be ...... It can't be a sea cucumber, right?"
Ding Yuan shook his head and said: "Let's talk about your turtles, sea cucumbers are now cultivated, and they are not as expensive as this thing, forget it, for the sake of your devout curiosity, come and open your eyes." ”
followed Ding Yuan to the back of the stall stove, a large bucket covered with an iron lid was placed on the ground, and Ding Yuan seemed to open the lid as if offering treasure.
"Look. ”
Chen Kai's heart was full of curiosity, and he stretched out his head to take a look.
"What the hell, you don't want me to eat, don't give me anything, what are you raising earthworms for? ”
The contents of the bucket looked like large earthworms the thickness of thumbs, and Chen Kai was taken aback.
"Ignorant fellow, this is a sandworm. ”
"Sandworms?" Chen Kai came back to his senses and looked at it carefully, he also knew that sandworms were generally produced on the southwest coast, and they were a very unique seafood, but he had never eaten them.
It turned out that this was a sandworm, Chen Kai looked at it carefully, and his mouth was amazed.
Ding Yuan looked at Chen Kai as if he had never seen the world, and said with a smile: "Look, this thing tastes good and nutritious, and few people in G County have eaten it, I think this best food award belongs to me." ”
He smiled proudly, turned his head and asked Chen Kai, "How are you preparing, are you sure what to do?"
"Make zongzi. ”
"What kind of stuffed dumplings?"
Chen Kai gently took a bite of the skewer and said with a smile: "Zongzi is Zongzi." ”
