This matter can only be handled and investigated secretly, and it must not be known to Chen Jiang and Shui Qingrou, and what Fang Cai has done is only the two little maids who are the least reassuring, once there is gossip to their ears, this matter will inevitably have unexpected changes, if Chen Jiang can't think about it because of this matter or Shui Qingrou runs away from home to hunt down the white-bearded old man all over the world, I'm afraid this family will be shattered in an instant.

Yu Wuya lifted the two crying little maids one by one and took them away from the Qinghe Hou Mansion, and the housekeeper Zhao Lun also came to ask, Chen Xu explained that these two little maids did something wrong and were punished to go to Qinghe Garden.

It's just two maids, and if the Hou Ye wants to punish him, he naturally does what he wants, and the housekeeper didn't think much about it, so he arranged for two other little maids to go to Chen Jiang's bedroom, and this matter is over.

After Yu Wuya came back, Chen Xu asked him to fill some of the cloudy liquid in the gourd in a bottle and send it to the health center to Xu Fu to see if he could find the person who poisoned him according to this clue.

This kind of potion Chen Xu has experienced, it is very domineering, but it is definitely not a highly poisonous thing, because if Chen Xu is poisoned to death, I am afraid that the emperor will definitely investigate under the wrath, and the person who poisoned it will inevitably be dug up, and after listening to Xu Fu's explanation, Chen Xu almost understands that the biggest effect of this medicine is to aphrodisiac and stimulate people's desires, constantly circling and forking until the essence is exhausted, and finally the foundation of human prostration is destroyed, and the panacea cannot be cured, and it will also cut off children and grandchildren.

In other words, the medicine that Chen Jiang begged for not only could not get a grandson, but also made the Chen family cut off children and grandchildren, if she knew about it, she would definitely resent herself and hang herself.

It's all because I found it early, but even if I found it early, I've been drinking it for four days.

"Fortunately, Hou Ye found out this early, this kind of fierce and chaotic thing hurts the body the most, if you can't sleep night after night for half a month, I'm afraid that the body will cause irreversible damage......"

Chen Xu recalled what Xu Fu had said, and then remembered the liquid he had just poured out of the gourd, and suddenly had some thoughts in his mind.

I don't know if the gourd was full or only half when Chen Jiang took it back, if it was full, that is, he drank almost half of it in the past four days, and Xu Fu and Yu Wuya both speculated that it would take half a month or even a few months before the foundation was finally damaged and became a waste, but according to this amount, one gourd potion must not be enough.

If it is not enough, and Chen Jiang wants to hug his grandson, he will inevitably go to the old man again, and that old man will inevitably give Chen Jiang the potion again in order to achieve his own goals.

For Chen Jiang, a rural peasant woman who has lived in an isolated mountain village since she was a child, has never been far away, and does not have any cultural knowledge, she does not know that there will be such a thing as obscene drugs in the world, and she does not know that there are still people who want to harm his son, he naturally felt that this was indeed a good way to take care of his son's body.

This is a mother's true and benevolent love, without half selfishness and distractions.

And it was this foolish love that made her fall into the trap of those sorcerers.

Chen Xu didn't know what the old man said to Chen Jiang at that time, and he couldn't ask, so he could only pretend not to know, but if this gourd potion was not enough, maybe he would be able to follow Chen Jiang to secretly catch the old man in a few days, and everything would be revealed.

And after figuring out this matter, Chen Xu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Tomorrow is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Duanyang Festival, although this festival has appeared, but the customs and habits of various places are not the same, Qin is just a festival that marks the advent of midsummer, and the Spring Society Day is about the same, there is not much commemorative significance, the official will not worship the temple nor will it be a holiday, but some people spontaneously go out to the river to play in the water, indicating that it is already hot and almost unbearable.

And Qi Chu and other places pay more attention to the Duanyang Festival, will eat zongzi, and in the land of Baiyue, those Yue people who worship the dragon totem will burn mugwort grass to smoke the mosquitoes in the room, and at the same time will gather to row dragon boats to celebrate, which is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival in later generations.

But as a foodie in later generations, Chinese festivals, no matter how big or small, are related to eating, and the four traditional festivals of Spring Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival are all related to eating, but some are for the living, some are for the dead, and they have to be eaten by ghosts anyway to be considered authentic Chinese.

Therefore, Chen Xu also put down the matter of beef bone soup for the time being, and then arranged for someone to buy some glutinous rice, red dates and red beans to come back, ready to make some zongzi.

As for the leaves of the zongzi, Chen Xu saw that his mother used reed leaves when he was a child, so he also ordered people to go outside the city to pick some fresh and wide reed leaves.

Although they didn't know what Hou Ye was going to do, the people in Hou Mansion were still busy quickly, and after the glutinous rice and red beans were bought, they let people wash them with water.

Although rice is the grain of the south, and the yield is not as high as that of wheat and grass, Xianyang, as the capital master, can be found here from all over the country, even Huhu Baiyue and even some distant places in the Western Regions.

Glutinous rice is a very strong binder, in addition to the use of Sanhe soil in important buildings, it is also necessary to add glutinous rice pulp to the soil, after drying, the firmness is comparable to steel, and the sword and heavy hammer can not be destroyed, I heard that a large amount of glutinous rice pulp will be used in the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, so the Inner History Mansion has to transfer a large amount of glutinous rice from the south of the Yangtze River to Xianyang every year.

And Xianyang also has a lot of southeastern people in Qichu and other places, so there are also merchants from the south to transport rice to Xianyang to sell, including glutinous rice, so although the Qin people in the northwest are not used to eating rice, but there are still a lot of consumer groups, Chen Xu usually eats pasta and millet most of the time, but every once in a while he will still eat a meal of rice to satisfy his cravings.

"Xu'er, what's wrong? I heard that you drove Xiaolan and the two to Qinghe Garden? Chen Jiang came back after buying beef bones, and hurriedly ran over to ask Chen Xu.

"Mother, the two of them hide outside my room every night and listen to the corner, so I can't sleep well, so I sent them to Qinghe Garden to help!" Chen Xu deliberately pretended to be a little angry and said.

Chen Jiangshi blushed slightly, and it was difficult to continue to talk about it, so he had to tell people not to bully the two little maids, and then hurriedly turned back to boil beef bone soup.

After seeing Chen Jiang's leave, Chen Xu asked the kitchen workers to core the jujubes he bought, and asked the steward to find out some preserved fruits such as apricot namena, and messed up a lot of things mixed with glutinous rice and red beans, etc., which were enough to fill several large pots, and in order to get a good color, Chen Xu also washed five brand-new copper coins and mixed them in.

Yu Wuya came back from the health center in a busy situation, saying that Xu Fu couldn't figure out what the liquid in those gourds was, but he had secretly sent someone to investigate.

By the end of the afternoon, the servants who had gone outside the city to fetch reed leaves had also returned, pulling back a large cart of green and tender leaves that had been cleaned in the river, and the water was gentle and a few little maids took Xing'er and Yu Ji to play in the water by the river, and the two little girls who went to the river to play in the water also came back together, looking at these large pots of rice with preserved fruits and red beans and dates, many people were curious.

"Brother, do you want to make delicious food again?" Xing'er and Yu Ji were both wearing swimming suits specially designed by Chen Xu, the water in their hair had not yet dried, and their skin was tanned, and as soon as they entered the door, they ran to the table to watch, Yu Ji even couldn't wait to grab a handful of rice and stuff it into her mouth, and a hairy monkey also jumped on the table and grabbed a handful and put it in her mouth.

"Spit it out!" Chen Xu's face darkened.

"Phew, Brother Xu's cooking is really delicious!" Yu Ji spit out a mouth full of rice and red beans, then stuffed a red date into her mouth, and shouted happily while eating, "Sister, eat it, this date is so sweet and has no kernel." ”

So Xing'er also picked up a red date and ate it, shouting while eating: "It's really delicious, the first time I ate a seedless date!" ”

The monkey also spit out a mouth full of rice and red beans, and also grabbed a date and gnawed it.

Looking at the two little girls and a monkey, I began to pick jujubes in the glutinous rice one by one, and Chen Xu hurriedly asked the kitchen to bring the reed leaves and twine over with black lines.

"Husband, what kind of food are you going to eat?" After washing the water gently, Xia Qun changed into a light set and walked into the restaurant, and when he saw the noisy scene, he also came over curiously and asked.

"Zongzi, have you eaten it?"

Chen Xu picked up two long reed leaves, tried to fold them out of a bucket-shaped shape, and then used a bamboo spoon to put glutinous rice into it, and after filling it, he put a jujube in it, and then clumsily wrapped the reed leaves back and forth, and finally wrapped them back and forth with twine like a mummy, tied them, and put them on the table.

Looking at this dumpling that couldn't see any shape, and the dumpling leaves were wrapped with twine like a footcloth, Chen Xu couldn't help but tremble a few times.

It's so ugly!

Yu Wuya, who was standing next to him, watched Chen Xu finish one, and felt relatively simple, so he also picked up two zongzi leaves, and soon wrapped out a zongzi and put it on the table, Chen Xu's face twitched even more.

There is no ugliest, only uglier, if there is a master who makes zongzi in later generations, he must not mind beating two people to death, it is too embarrassing to be in the face of his peers.

Shui gently looked at the two ugly eight generations of zongzi and Chen Xu's somewhat darkened face, covered his mouth and chuckled and said: "Zongzi I know, I heard that it is a kind of food in the Qichu area, but I heard that only glutinous rice is put in, and I haven't heard that there are also beans, preserved fruits and jujubes!" ”

"This is my newly invented zongzi, called Babao zongzi, which is soft and glutinous and sweet after cooking, and tastes very good!" Chen Xu picked up the two zongzi leaves again, and then said to the kitchen workers and servants who were standing around, "Don't stand and watch, let's do it together and finish wrapping it quickly, and eat zongzi on Duanyang Festival tomorrow!" ”

So a group of people picked up the zongzi leaves and began to wrap them in the same way as Chen Xu, and then soon there began to be an ugly zongzi on the table, the big one was at least half a catty of rice inside, and the small one was about the same size as an egg.

Chen Xu was very helpless, Nima was such a big Hou Mansion, and no one knew how to make zongzi, which had to be said to be a huge regret.

"Husband, look at my bag!" Shui gently handed a wrapped zongzi to Chen Xu.

Well, looking at this small and delicate zongzi with a four-sided triangular structure, Chen Xu looked at it for a long time, and then looked at it again and again for a long time and said in surprise: "It turns out that the lady can make zongzi!" ”

Shui gently covered her mouth and smiled with her eyebrows crooked and nodded: "I have an aunt who is from the Qi country, that is, the clansman of the housekeeper Tian Gui, it seems that she still has something to do with the previous Qi royal family, but it is far away, when I was a child, every Duanyang Festival, my aunt would make zongzi, and I also learned it, but I have never eaten it since I followed the master in Lushan, and I haven't wrapped it for almost ten years!" ”

"If you see it, you will be punished if you don't see it, and if you don't pack it well, you will be punished!" Chen Xu showed the standard piece of zongzi in his hand to a group of kitchen workers and servants, so a group of people instantly sweated on their foreheads.

"Okay, husband, go and get busy with something else, I'll teach them how to make zongzi!" Shui stood up softly and pushed Chen Xu out of the room.

Chen Xu stubbornly wanted to come back and continue to pack, but looking at the unfriendly eyes in the room, he had to regretfully wander around to do something else.
