Chapter 282: Dragon Boat Festival
When Zhang Taiping finally finished work, Fan Ming was also idle, and suddenly felt that he was hungry and panicked after jumping up and down in the afternoon, smelling the burst of aroma coming from the kitchen, his stomach rumbled a few times, and he ran into the kitchen with a red face.

"What kind of dinner is Sister Cai at night? So fragrant. Fan Ming asked Cai Yazhi and Xing Rushui, who were busy in the kitchen, after entering the kitchen.
Cai Yazhi said without stopping to chop vegetables: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, tonight steamed zongzi and osmanthus cake, plus a few side dishes." ā
"Baby, zongzi and osmanthus cake, I like this." As he spoke, his stomach growled uncontrollably, "I'm starving!" ā
At this time, Xing Rushui put a small pot of cold eggplant on the table and said, "Wait a little longer, the zongzi and pastries will be cooked." You go and wipe down the table and set the bench first. ā
After Fan Ming came out, Zhang Taiping smiled and asked, "How is it?" ā
Fan Ming wiped the table and said, "It'll be fine in a while." ā
Zhang Taiping stood up and walked out, Yaya and Tian Tian afternoon carried the grasshopper cage and followed the group of little dolls out to play, but they haven't come back yet, go out to find and come back to eat.
The sky is full of stars, and it is another good weather, and the fire is bright on the field. When the yard was cleaned up, the lights were pulled up on it, in case it suddenly rained or something happened at night.
Zhang Taiping walked straight to the top of the field, the field pulled the lights, and it was a children's paradise at night, and the most popular game was hide and seek. There are stacks of wheat everywhere, easy to hide but hard to find, which is more fun, and it would be boring if you were found as soon as you hid.
When Zhang Taiping came over, he was covering his eyes and counting every day, while a large group of more than a dozen boys and girls kicked their calves and spread out to all parts of the field, burrowing behind the wheat stacks and hiding.
After opening her eyes every day, she saw Zhang Taiping standing in front of her, and just wanted to speak, Zhang Taiping put her finger to her mouth to signal her not to make a sound, and the little girl immediately closed her mouth knowingly, with a happy expression on her face, and followed Zhang Taiping lightly behind her, and found the place where Yaya was hiding.
Feeling that there was someone standing in front of her, Yaya just wanted to ask Yaya why she wanted to find herself, but the two of them discussed in advance not to look for each other. Zhang Taiping whispered: "Don't talk, it's Dad." Yaya immediately covered her mouth with both hands, with a surprised expression on her face, and then let go of her mouth and whispered, "What is Dad doing here?" Also play do Hide Code? ā
Zhang Taiping also whispered: "Dad came to find you home for dinner, we secretly left, didn't let them know, let them stay in the wheat stack for a while." ā
The two little girls also felt so funny, their bright eyes flashed, and their little faces were red. Zhang Taiping removed the wheat mangs from their bodies, put one arm on his shoulder, and strode away. Running away, the two little girls giggled.
"Every day they also ran away, no one looked for them, and they hid until tomorrow morning. Hee-hee. Yaya stopped laughing and said.
"Then they're not going home for dinner?" It's the voice of the day.
Zhang Taiping also said with a smile: "Don't worry, they will come out and go home by themselves when they don't see anyone looking for them for a while." ā
After returning home, the meal has been prepared, a few home-cooked side dishes, zongzi have also been cooked, put on the table, and there is also osmanthus cake. Zhang Taiping went to the back and invited the old man out, the family sat around the table, and the old man hugged the girl on his lap, with a rare smile on his face.
There is no near the skin of the zongzi, or Zhang Taiping bought it back in the town, this is a specific plant leaf, the leaf surface is smooth, and the fragrance on it does not affect the taste of the zongzi. There are no authentic zongzi leaves, and some people use ordinary leaves instead, although they are also made, but the steamed zongzi are missing a smell.
The steamed rice dumplings this time are divided into two types: sweet and salty. The salty is the meat filling, and the glutinous rice is mixed with the adjusted minced meat, and it is not bad to steam it out, and this way of eating is only now emerging. But Zhang Taiping still thinks that sweet is delicious, and everything that must be eaten from ancient times to the present is sweet, and the methods that have been passed down through the test of time are all treasures.
Yaya peeled a zongzi for the old man, the yellowish japonica rice inside is dotted with small beans, raisins, and dates, not ordinary winter dates but candied dates, as long as Zhang Taiping dislikes winter dates, there will be a sour taste when eaten and make people spit out the jujube core, and there is no jujube core in the bought candied dates, and the jujube meat is thick and eaten.
The old man took a bite and tasted it and said, "Well, there is honey in it?" ā
Cai Yazhi nodded and said, "There is indeed honey, and there is also the peach fat scraped off the peach tree by Brother Taiping in March." ā
The old man nodded and said, "Not bad." ā
Cai Yazhi immediately smiled, it is not easy to get a compliment from the old man, if you can say that it is good, then you really like it. Cai Yazhi handed the osmanthus cake forward again and said, "Grandpa, try this osmanthus cake again, the osmanthus juice in it was also pickled and sealed by Brother Taiping when the osmanthus tree bloomed." ā
The old man tasted a piece and just nodded without commenting, Cai Yazhi had only done it once before and was inexperienced, although there was a line like water to help beside him, but he couldn't do the level of Zhang Dashuai's grandmother back then, so the old man just nodded and didn't speak.
After the old man tasted first, everyone began to eat with a smile, not a big family, so there is no rule of eating without words, the so-called eating together is not just a reunion and warmth, if you can't talk and laugh at will, then the so-called eating at the same table is meaningless.
Fan Ming doesn't care what kind of lady is not a lady at this time, she is hungry all afternoon, like a starving ghost, whether it is osmanthus cake or sweet zongzi and stuffs it into her mouth, quite like Zhu Bajie swallowing ginseng fruit, she can see that she is angry and funny next to her, but she didn't stop it.
On the contrary, the old man said: "Both of these things are heavy food, although honey has the effect of strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, but if you eat too much, you will also have indigestion." ā
Fan Ming slowed down her eating speed when she heard the old man's words, she is still the old man's patient, she can not listen to other people's words, but the old man's words must be obeyed.
In this atmosphere, Zhang Taiping will definitely not forget the wine, poured out a jar from the gourd and served it, he hasn't tasted it for a long time, and he doesn't know how much the wine has changed in this magical gourd.
Regardless of the size of the person, a small glass was poured first, this wine is made of what kind of fruit Zhang Taiping is made of, so it always has a little dark red, but it is very clear, and this color is somewhat attractive in the white fine porcelain cup. When you shake it slightly, the aroma of the wine escapes, and when it is calm, there is no smell at all, which shows that the wine has reached the point of returning to the basics.
The old man picked up the wine glass and looked at it, sniffed it lightly, and then took a sip and closed his eyes slightly to enjoy. I only felt that the lubricating liquor seemed to be detonated as soon as it touched the tip of the tongue, and the mellow charm and aroma suddenly diffused out, as if the previous Taoguang Yang was only bursting out at this moment. The feeling of bursting out seems to be a feeling directly in the brain, which makes people feel empowered. The old man didn't know what it was like to be empowered, but it didn't prevent him from enjoying the pleasure of being light-minded at this moment.
The liquid lingers around the tip of the tongue and then down the throat, but inside the stomach, it explodes with a solid texture and does not give people a spicy feeling. A stream of heat quickly flowed from the stomach and spread throughout the body, making people feel as if the bones of the whole body were lighter.
The old man opened his eyes and drank the rest of the cup, did not speak, shook his head, and didn't know whether it was a compliment or something else, but poured himself another glass.
Others had to drink as much as water, but they also drank two or three glasses and stopped. As for Cai Yazhi and Fan Ming, they are not strong enough to drink at all, a glass of wine and two cheeks are as red as peach blossoms, and the three little girls simply fell down two directly, and one was drunk and confused. Zhang Taiping is not worried about their performance, because this wine is one thing. On the other hand, it has the effect of clearing the eyes and calming the nerves, and after drinking, you can sleep steadily all night and be more energetic tomorrow morning.
Seeing that the old man was in a good mood today, Zhang Taiping accompanied the old man to drink a few glasses, a few side dishes as appetizers, and didn't say anything.
"This wine works well." When he was almost drunk, the old man gave a comment, put down the girl in his arms and went into the back room.
After eating, Zhang Taiping said to Cai Yazhi: "Give these zongzi and osmanthus cakes to Li Lao and Donald Lao." ā
Cai Yazhi nodded and said, "That's what I mean." Seeing that Zhang Taiping was about to go to the courtyard to cool off, he said, "You should send it over, my face is too burning, and the fairy must be too red." ā
Zhang Taiping saw that it was really red and was about to drip blood, and said: "Okay, I'll send it over, you can rest early, and the table will be cleaned up tomorrow morning." ā
When I came to Mr. Li's house with some zongzi and osmanthus cakes in a basket, only Mr. Li's wife was washing dishes in the house, and the two old men were nowhere to be seen. Zhang Taiping asked, "Uncle Li and Uncle Tang are not here?" ā
"Big handsome, they went to the village chief to find someone to chat, is there anything wrong?" Old man Li's wife put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped her hands, and came forward to ask.
Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "It's nothing, tomorrow during the Dragon Boat Festival, I steamed some zongzi and pastries in the evening, and I sent some over." ā
She was a little surprised and just wanted to excuse herself, but Zhang Taiping didn't give her a chance, stuffed the basket into her hand and turned around and left. Ignoring the shouts from behind, he said, "Let's come back tomorrow to get the basket." ā
Mrs. Li could only accept the basket, and she couldn't chase back anymore, but she didn't know what to do. She is also used to living in the city, and she can't reflect it for a while when she encounters this kind of neighborhood sending things.
