Chapter Seventy-Eight: Sending Zongzi
Soak the fresh rice dumplings in water for a while. Then clean the glutinous rice and soak the mung beans and red beans.
Yun Zhu planned to make a few more flavors, anyway, she prepared more than three hundred dumpling leaves. She thought that she might not be able to finish the day she was busy, but these girls were willing to help her, and she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
"I used to think that the bread in the rice dumplings was rice, but I didn't know that it was rice. Sister Song, how can you do anything? β
Yunzhu smiled: "What you need for life, you have to get anything." β
"It's a shame that Sister Song is so strong, if you change someone else, I'm afraid that the soap won't be able to support it."
Yunzhu smiled, this is indeed forced by life.
Peach Blossom has been absentmindedly helping Yunzhu wrap zongzi with them, although she is not as skilled as Yunzhu, but the wrapping is angular and decent.
Qiaoyu asked Yunzhu how to fry snails, and Yunzhu said: "You have to feed them for a day or two, and then wait until the sediment spits out by itself, and then you have to marinate it in wine, and then wash it well, and it is generally very clean." Also, remember to knock a small hole in the tip of the snail, and simmer it for a while before it tastes good. β
Qiaoyu listened to it and felt that it was very useful.
"Thanks to asking Sister Song, otherwise I really don't know this."
"When you go down to the field to fish for snails again, you won't call us." Xiangmei complained with a smile.
Qiaoyu pinched Xiangmei's face and said with a smile: "I didn't catch it, sister-in-law." It was my brother who went to get it. It's a pity that it's not much, or I'll ask him to send some. β
Xiangmei hurriedly waved her hand: "Forget it, it's troublesome to listen to." Keep it for yourselves and eat it. β
Everyone giggled and laughed for a while, and when Peach Blossom saw that it was not early, she was about to go back with Qiaoyu. Qiaoyu got up and said goodbye.
Yunzhu thanked them for helping herself, and brought each of them a few pieces of osmanthus cake she bought.
Qiaoyu and Peach Blossom walked outside the courtyard wall of the Feng family, and Peach Blossom glanced inside affectionately, saying nothing.
"Peach blossoms. Do you have something on your mind? This was the second time Qiaoyu had asked her.
Peach Blossom naturally doesn't admit it.
"You, it's all written on your face. You can't hide anything from me. If you're distressed, why don't you say it and I'll give you an idea? β
Peach Blossom muttered, "No need. The implication is that there is no denial.
When Peach Blossom said this. His face was flushed, and I don't know if it was because of his shyness or because of the reflection of the sunset. The youthful and immature face is full of faint feelings.
The big red sachet in Peach Blossom's hand. Despite a lot of thought. In the end, it still didn't send it out. She put it under the box, and closed it tightly with her own thoughts, so that no one could see it.
It took Yunzhu more than a day to finally wrap out more than 300 zongzi. After cooking, it is taken to the street and sold. Regardless of whether it is salty or sweet, each one is worth three cents.
Because she often comes to set up stalls to sell things, many people are familiar with her. In addition, it is just in time for the solar term, so it is easy to sell. Three hundred rice dumplings. But it was almost sold in half a day. There is still a small part left, and Yunzhu plans to take it back and give it away.
There are not many people who can send it, but Yunzhu will take care of them these days. Twenty of them were for Yuan Muhua, Feng Bai and Master Jiang also gave some each, and the rest was next door. Yunzhu left a dozen mothers and daughters to eat by herself, and gave the rest to the Feng family.
Then Yunzhu took Tian Tian to send it from house to house. They are all grateful to Yunzhu, and there are different Cheng dΓΉ's return gifts.
When he arrived at Yuan Muhua's place, Yuan Muhua said with a smile: "You bother, you always think of me." There's nothing to get back to you. As he spoke, he took two handfuls of herbs to Yun Zhu, and said, "It's good to take this back and boil water to bathe Tian Tian." β
"Thank you, I don't have much time to go up the mountain to cut, but I save a thing."
Yuan Muhua stared at Yunzhu and said with a smile: "I have discussed with the village chief, and I will start repairing the medical hall in the winter moon." The location has been chosen, and it is not far from your home. Under the poplar tree with a crooked neck, several plots of land were measured. He said he was going to build three or four rooms. Later, it was closer. β
Yunzhu naturally didn't know Yuan Muhua's thoughts, and when he heard him say this, he said yes without thinking about it, and said: "This is very good, if there is something in the future, it will be more convenient to come and go." β
"You promised to come and help later."
"It's okay, I'm talking." Yunzhu readily agreed.
Yuan Muhua thought that after all these years of running around, he was finally going to settle down, maybe he would be a little unaccustomed to it at first, but if he had such a person by his side, it didn't seem to be a bad thing.
came out of Yuan's house, and after walking a short distance, he met Ping'an, only to see him barearmed, red and black.
"What has Brother Feng been busy with lately?"
"Busy."
"I heard Xiangmei say that the Dragon Boat Festival is going to dry the dragon boat, and Brother Feng will go too, right?"
"It's not clear." During the annual Dragon Boat Festival, several nearby villages will also come here, and it is also the most lively time of the year in Qinghe. Several villages had to organize a boat race and a dragon boat race. I've heard that there are rewards for those who win.
Yunzhu heard Xiangmei say that her brother had also participated in the past and won the ranking, and it was impossible not to go to a physical condition like Ping'an.
No one spoke on the road, and when they reached the gate of the courtyard, Yunzhu smiled at Ping'an: "If Brother Feng wants to go, I will definitely cheer for you!" β
In an instant, a burst of joy welled up in Ping'an's heart, and he wanted to say thank you to her, he would work hard, but it was extinguished in an instant, and his attitude became indifferent, and he didn't answer Yunzhu's words, but said, "I'll go back." β
When they got home, Tian Tian and Yunzhu said, "Mother, why do I think there seems to be something wrong with Uncle Feng?" β
Even Tian Tian found out, how could Yunzhu not know. She clearly felt that Ping An was deliberately alienating their mother and daughter, and now she didn't seem to be able to speak much. Yunzhu thought, could it be that something had happened. Or does Ping An have an opinion about them?
Yun Zhu became very irritable in her heart, and sent zongzi to the Feng family, but she didn't go over, put them in a basket, and let Tian Tian take them.
After a while, Tian Tian came back, dancing and saying, "Mother, the next door is eating fish today, and I said that you should also go over to eat it." β
"Then I'm sorry, let's not go. There are still leftovers at home, and just deal with the past and be done. β
It didn't take long for Xiangmei to come and pull their mother and daughter over.
It turned out that she had caught a big carp weighing five catties safely, and Mrs. Feng said that the family couldn't finish eating, so she called their mother and daughter to eat together.
Yunzhu was embarrassed, so he offered to help them cook. (To be continued......)
