Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival and eating zongzi is a common custom regardless of region. The people who came to work in the mountains were far away from their respective homes, and they could not eat the rice dumplings that were suitable for the season. If they make zongzi and sell them in their shop during the Dragon Boat Festival, they will definitely make a profit.

"That's fine." Lian Shouxin and Zhang said in unison.

Although eating zongzi is a common custom, the zongzi eaten in different regions in the south and north are different. Most people in the south eat white rice dumplings, that is, dumplings wrapped in glutinous rice. But the north is different, for example, Lian Man'er's Thirty Liying, where rice is not produced, let alone glutinous rice. Although there are also wealthy families who will buy glutinous rice to wrap zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, most of the villagers, including urban residents, eat yellow rice zongzi.

Yellow rice zongzi, in chapter 312, zongzi is a zongzi wrapped in locally produced rhubarb rice. Rhubarb rice is rice ground with millet seeds, which are ground into flour and can be used in winter to wrap dumplings, that is, sticky bean buns.

Locally produced rhubarb rice is much cheaper than white glutinous rice shipped from other places.

So what do they want to sell in their shop, is it a zongzi with rhubarb rice or a zongzi with white glutinous rice?

"There are a lot of people from the south on the mountain, I'm afraid they can't get used to eating our yellow rice dumplings, let's sell them in white rice dumplings." Zhang's Road.

"There are also people from our north in the mountains, I chatted with them, and I heard them say that they also eat yellow rice dumplings at home." Zhang's Road.

"Then let's wrap some white rice dumplings and yellow rice dumplings and sell them." Lian Man'er said. In this way, everyone can have one more choice, and they can eat what they are used to. You can also buy another one to try it.

It's a very simple decision, and everyone naturally says yes.

"Mother, what kind of zongzi do we eat?" Xiao Qi asked.

In the past, in Lianjia, of course, everyone ate yellow rice dumplings.

"Mother, do you remember, when the Dragon Boat Festival was celebrated the year before last, the uncle took back a few Jiangmi dumplings from the town. My milk gave me a little bit, and I still remember that smell. "It's better than our yellow rice dumplings." Xiao Qiyan looked at Zhang Shidao with blank eyes.

Thirty miles of Yingzi here, Chapter 312 Zongzi is in charge of the white glutinous rice that was transported from the south to wrap zongzi. It's called Jiangmi.

The rhubarb rice I eat at home is a coarse grain, and it is not so finely ground, compared to the refined Jiang rice that was transported from the south. The taste is a little rougher, and it is not as tasty. Although Lian Man'er doesn't think so, most of the children of the Zhuang families who have been eating rhubarb rice are more yearning for Jiang rice.

The so-called rare is precious, and the river rice transported from the south is a rare and precious thing in the eyes of most people.

Zhang's heart softened when Xiao Qi saw it.

"Xiao Qi loves to eat Jiang rice, that's okay, let's eat some Jiang rice dumplings at home this year." Zhang said. Now the family has some spare money to eat, so that the children can eat delicious food. Zhang's heart only has joy, and he will not feel sorry for the money.

When Xiao Qi's request was satisfied, he sat there laughing happily. Lian Man'er couldn't help but take him over and pinch his fleshy face with her hands.

Zhang discussed with Lian Shouxin how much Jiang rice and how much rhubarb rice he wanted to buy. How much you need to use at home, how much you need to use in the shop.

Lian Man'er's eyes rolled, and suddenly thought of something.

"Father, mother, haven't we brought our rations for these two months to my grandfather? When the family was separated, my father promised us a year's rations. The rhubarb rice we wrap in zongzi should also be included in this ration, right? ”

Even Shouxin and Zhang were silent after listening to Lian Man'er's words.

In the past two months, because of the good business in the shop, they were busy farming and preparing for the marriage of Lianzhi'er. Zhang also considered that several children were growing up, so he worked hard to improve the food. I eat more rice and white flour, and I will think of making one or two dishes to eat at each meal, and I will eat less coarse grains. I didn't finish the rations that came from the past, so I didn't go to ask for rations from Mr. Lian for two months.

"Rations...... I'm going to ask for it, just this big yellow rice......" Lian Shouxin obviously has something to say.

As a family, even what Shouxin is thinking and what he wants to say, the big guy knows in his heart.

"Otherwise, we don't lack this bite now. Rations or something, just like that, let's not ask for it. Zhang said.

These words are in line with Lian Shouxin's mind. Lian's family doesn't have a lot of food. And every time he moved grain from the upper room, Zhou's face was not very good-looking.

Zhang's is kind-hearted and rarely cares about money, and she is distressed and trustworthy.

"Father, mother, I don't agree with this." Lian Man'er thought about it, and said, "We have few things to get from our family, and we deserve this ration." ”

Lian Man'er said this well, Lian Shouxin and Zhang glanced at each other. Even if the two of them don't want to ask for food rations for the house, they still have to consider the opinions of the children. This home is not for the two of them.

"We just don't want this ration, and no one says it's good." Xiao Qi muttered.

Gorou and Reneda were in no hurry to speak. Even something that a child like Xiao Qi understands, Zhang and Lian Shouxin don't understand.

"Mother, let's just don't want rations, no one says it's good for us to say it, I'm afraid that someone else wants to arrange it." Lian Man'er continued.

Even Shouxin and Zhang's didn't say anything, because they knew that Lian Man'er was right.

There are many people in the upper room now, mixed mouths, and different personalities. If they no longer ask for rations like this, the Zhou family, as well as some people in the upper room, will not say that they are thinking about their fathers, brothers, and nephews, but are more likely to say that they are rich and rich, and they don't take rations seriously. What's more, they will say that since they have become rich, they only care about their own good food, and do not take care of their parents and brothers.

"The current conditions of our family are not to eat japonica rice and white noodles every meal, and the grain we planted this year has not yet come down, if we don't get our share of rations from the upper house, we still have to buy grain to eat." Goro said.

When it comes to the advantages of Lian Shouxin and Zhang's family, comparing the "people" master, respecting their children, and listening to their words is definitely one of them.

"That's it. I'll go to the room and get our rations. Lian Shouxin thought about it, and said, "Let's wrap Jiang rice's zongzi, how many catties of rhubarb rice will we need?" ”

"As much as you want, as much as you want." Lian Man'er said, "Let's wrap Jiang rice dumplings." We also bought it with our own money. Besides, rhubarb rice is coming, and we are also useful. It won't be wasted again. ”

Lian Man'er has her own plans in her heart. With her understanding of Old Man Lian, Zhou's family, and everyone in the upper room, she felt that to interact with them, she had to be one and two. Do as you want. lest people feel that their bottom line is very low, and then think about it.

As for after doing this, Lian Shouxin wanted to honor Old Man Lian and the Zhou family, within a reasonable range, Lian Man'er did not object. Even if the Zhou family treats them very badly, some of the things they have done make them cold when they think about it. But she gave birth to Lian Shouxin, and she is old, so she has no ability to make a living. Emotionally, Lian Man'er can't get close to the Zhou family, but he is materially supportive. She wasn't distressed.

The so-called filial piety, sometimes, is a kind of respect for one's own birth.

Of course, this does not prevent her from deciding on the specific standards and matters of devotion according to Zhou's attitude.

Lian Shouxin wanted to go home and ask for rations. Even Man'er, Gorou and Xiaoqi followed.

Xiao Qi ran to the upper room first to investigate.

"My grandfather is not at home, just my grandmother and my aunt."

"Then let's not worry, wait for my grandfather to come back." Lian Man'er said.

Lian Shouxin nodded.

Even the old man came back from the field with a hoe when it was close to evening. I have to say that even among the hard-working farmers, even the old man has to occupy the first row. Since the beginning of farming. He would not be idle every day, and after eating, he would carry his hoe to the field and tend to the crops.

"Dad" even kept his promises, and chatted with Mr. Lian for a few homely things, and then talked to the main topic "Dad, our rations ......"

"I was about to talk to you about this" Even the old man immediately picked up the conversation, "You haven't come to get rations for two months, I have prepared them for you, move now." ”

"Master, it's time to make zongzi, we want twenty catties of rhubarb rice, so we'll get it out of the rations." Lian Man'er said with a smile.

They have a family of six, twenty catties of rhubarb rice, and when it falls on everyone's head, it is only three catties of zero, and one zongzi uses two to three or two meters, and one person has only about ten zongzi, which is just enough to eat.

"It's just twenty pounds, is it enough to eat?" Even the old man asked, "Once a year, the children cheered." ”

Cheering is the local language here in Thirty Miles of Camp, and the meaning is roughly equivalent to warm anticipation.

"It's enough, just eat it for a few days before and after the holiday. Zongzi is not easy to restrain . "Even keep the word.

"That's right." As the old man said, he took Lian Shouxin to move the grain.

After the separation, Lian Shouxin once wanted to move away a year's rations at one time, but was scolded by Zhou and refused to let him move. Zhou's reason for doing this was that he was afraid that they would not be able to live, so he took all the food at once, did not know how to be thrifty, and ate it quickly, or sold it, and he would have no food to eat and be hungry in the future, and he would have to go to the house to ask for it when the time came.

Zhou said this, making everyone think that she was for the sake of Lian Shouxin's family. But Lian Man'er felt in her heart that this was a manifestation of Zhou's desire to control.

Even the old man didn't speak at the time, but he obviously agreed with Zhou's statement, afraid that they wouldn't live after they split up, and they didn't know how to eat the food evenly, and they would starve later.

I couldn't even keep my word, so I had to get rations once a month or two months.

Old man Lian was weighing rhubarb rice to Lian Shouxin, and Zhou walked over with a calm face.

"How much rhubarb rice are you going to weigh?" When he saw a small bag full of rhubarb rice, Zhou immediately screamed. !!
