The days passed quietly in the busy life of Yuxin's family, and it was the Dragon Boat Festival in five days. In this dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival was a relatively important festival. On this day, every household has to wrap rice dumplings and fry them (in ancient times, they were made of white flour and fried or roasted to form noodles shaped like wheat grains. And boiled eggs. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, you will go to the river to worship the river god.

"Yuxin, you go to the town today, buy more rice when you come back, this is going to be the Dragon Boat Festival, this year we have a lot of family, we need to wrap more zongzi, and then we can give gifts." Ma Yulan told Yuxin when she was about to go to a Pin Xuan in the town to take a look.

"Ah, shouldn't this zongzi be wrapped in glutinous rice? Also, shouldn't there be something else in this zongzi besides the rice man? Yuxin asked her mother.

"This rice dumpling is wrapped in rice, and there is nothing else in it except rice." Ma Yulan replied with some sadness, in previous years, her family was poor, and her mother-in-law didn't want to see their family, so she made zongzi every year, and her mother-in-law gave them a family of five and only two small zongzi. I am reluctant to eat two bites, and the three children are divided into two zongzi, no wonder this little girl doesn't know, she blames herself for not having the ability, and she has suffered three children, but fortunately, her life is better this year. This year, you can prepare more, so that the baby can eat enough.

"Okay, go out early, it's getting hotter and hotter, the temperature is low in the morning, it's cooler to hurry." Ma Yulan urged Yuxin to go out early.

"I see, I'll go first until there's nothing to do." Yu Xin led Guo Yu and Guo Cui out.

"Guo Yu, take care of your young lady, don't let her go to the sun to bask in the sun, be careful of heat stroke." Ma Yulan told to see.

"Madam, the slave maid knows, the slave maid will be optimistic about the young lady." plus the coachman's entourage, the four of them went out under Ma Yulan's advice.

After leaving the house, I got into the carriage, and through the curtains of the carriage, I watched, outside in the blue sky, a few white clouds floating, and some unknown birds flew through the air from time to time. The surrounding fields are turning from green to yellow, and various small flowers are blooming on the bean seedlings, a bumper harvest scene.

The carriage moved forward unhurriedly. The scenery on both sides of the road drove quickly in front of you. Farmers in the fields by the roadside are bent down and toiling. In the distance, a few half-grown children occasionally catch fish in the creek. A qiē is warm and tranquil. The utilitarian and strife of the previous life are getting farther and farther away from oneself. Far away only occasionally think of it when it is boring.

"Master, the door came to report this morning, saying that someone is investigating you. Unavoidably. ”

"Do you know who it is?"

"At present, I can only know that it is not that person, and that person does not know you so far. Otherwise it wouldn't be so calm. ”

"However, several Dharma Protectors may be the two of Yi Pinxuan. They don't have any ill will for the time being. ”

"I don't want anyone to know about my relationship with the door at the moment, so be careful. As for the situation of me and my family, let them check, you have to keep an eye on the one in the capital, I don't want my family to be harmed. ”

"The subordinates know what to do, please rest assured."

"Qingfeng, after arriving at Yipinxuan in a while, the two of us will accompany the master to do things, and you will pass back the master's meaning."

"Yes. Subordinates understand. "Today's Qingfeng, that is, Ying Er, in order to better protect Yu Xin, he can only appear in Yu Xin's house by selling his body. And named Qingfeng, along with Dark San, now renamed Mingyue, but he is now temporarily sent to protect Liu Caogen and Ma Youcai, these two are now running around the wasteland construction sites all day long. Yu Xin was afraid that it would not be safe, so she transferred Mingyue to protect her.

"Uncle Feng, it's the Dragon Boat Festival in five days, are there any activities in the town during this festival."

"This Dragon Boat Festival, the people in the town, that is, each family, went to the river to worship, to wrap zongzi, boil eggs, and hang incense."

"Then what special activities do we have in the restaurant?"

"In previous years, it was customary to buy some additional zongzi, but this year we have also made all the zongzi leaves, so we will make zongzi later."

"The zongzi in our restaurant won't also be rice buns without filling."

"That's not it, our zongzi have a secret recipe and a filling, or we are like everyone else, who will buy it." Shopkeeper Feng said very mysteriously.

"Let's go, this should be done anyway, let's go to the kitchen and have a look."

Yu Xin accompanied Uncle Feng to the backyard, only to see a few young daughters-in-law holding zongzi leaves ready to wrap zongzi, Yu Xin walked around and took a look, what she used was just some glutinous rice added to the rice, and then mixed with some red beans to make bean paste, and nothing else.

"Uncle Feng, this is our secret recipe."

"That's right, these ingredients are added to this rice, although other restaurants also do this, they add bean paste but don't use glutinous rice, so it's not as delicious as our restaurant, and ordinary people use rice to make it, so our zongzi taste different, and they can be sold." A penny. ”

"Uncle Feng, let's make a few more fillings this year, and all these dumplings are wrapped in glutinous rice. This year, I'm going to sell this rice dumpling for fifteen wen each. ”

"Then what materials do you want to prepare, you tell Uncle Feng, I'll prepare." After this period of getting along, the shopkeeper Feng admired Yuxin very much, Yipinxuan was originally considered to be in the middle of the place, if it wasn't a time-honored brand, I'm afraid it could only be regarded as a middle, but after Yuxin launched a new dish every week, the employee's salary was more work and more rewards, only more than two months, and the monthly turnover was a straight rise.

"Uncle Feng, you ask him to buy some red dates, pork, pork chops, and salted duck eggs. Let's make these fillings now. Oh, remember to buy a double portion, and help me buy another 300 catties of glutinous rice. ”

"Guo Yu, you go along, and when you see a fruit seller, buy some more fruits."

After Yu Xin finished instructing, Shopkeeper Feng also gave the matter? The little two who bought it have been explained.

"Yuxin, the things are still bought by Duqiu, you see what else is going on."

"Now it's time to soak glutinous rice and get more red bean paste, and then we won't mix together, just make fillings. Also, we have to get some brightly colored colored threads, and we will help the zongzi tomorrow. Let's mention every ten rice dumplings, and only help two of each filling. One hundred and fifty for each mention. Limited to 200 pick-ups per day. And Uncle Feng, you go and order some bamboo boxes, which are used to make gift boxes, which should be engraved with the words of Pinxuan, and each box contains a mention of zongzi, but you have to let the person who makes the gift box make ten small grids, let's put a zongzi in a grid. The zongzi are also labeled with our Yipinxuan. But we have to sell this gift box for more than two taels of silver. Uncle Feng, what do you think? ”

"Then I'll go find someone to make the box now." After speaking. Shopkeeper Feng turned around and left.

"Miss Yuxin, I bought all these things. You see how you get it. "Xiao Er, who came back from shopping, moved his things to the backyard and asked Yuxin to recover.

"You have the cook chop the pork bones into thumb-sized pieces, and the pork cut into those sizes, and then cook the salted duck eggs. I'll go over and get it when I'm done with this in a moment. ”

"You guys get some more of that dumpling leaf and wash it up. That's not enough, go and pick some more. Yu Xin pointed to a few guys who worked in the back kitchen.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, have you made your glutinous rice?"

"It's all done, just waiting for the bag."

"That's okay, you wash these red dates and wrap them first, remember not to wrap them too big, just pack them so big." Yu Xin measured the size with her hand. These daughters-in-law couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the size of Yu Xinbi. I thought this was too small. One is just a little more than one or two. But this is the owner's business, and there is no room for them to intervene.

After instructing the people in the courtyard to do their work. Yu Xin went to the kitchen non-stop again and taught Chef Feng how to marinate the fillings for the dumplings. And let the other people in the kitchen take out the golden oily yolk of the boiled salted duck eggs. By the time the first qiē was done, it was already sunset, and Yu Xin asked Qingfeng to go to the school to pick up her brothers and go home because it was late today.
