Chapter 1129: Dragon Boat Festival
Until this time, Master Lin finally gave up, it was his bad luck that he didn't see the situation clearly, not only did he not think about having a good relationship with Xiaozhi County, but he also wanted to let Governor Zhang play a copy of him, but now it's good, and he can't get any benefits when he encounters something important.
He also went to the Gu Mansion with Mrs. Lin, and also saw Tiankuo, they didn't even want to prevaricate him, and said that they had signed a contract with the Zhou Mansion and would partner with the Zhou Mansion to do this business in the future.
As for other transactions, it is estimated that he will not have his share, Master Lin thought about it carefully, in Lu County, his status is not as good as before, and now he can only manage the outside business well, and he can't go wrong.
Fortunately, there is no important business to do in Lu County, and the loss is not much, otherwise it would be a big loss this time.
This thing went very smoothly, but after coming and going, it was still a lot of toss, and it was almost over the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, every year is to be taken seriously, Siqi also has to wrap zongzi, such a big festival, traditional customs are indispensable, to the north, Siqi found that the customs are more than when they were in their hometown.
Since they came here, Zijun will come here every big festival to celebrate the festival together, although he hasn't received any news yet, but thinking that during the Dragon Boat Festival, Zijun should come.
Zijun likes to eat bacon zongzi, which they used to wrap at home when they were home, and they can't buy it outside, and there are still some bacon left from home.
The outside is generally sold are date dumplings, red bean dumplings, and the others are nothing new, they have to pack a lot of their own bags, and Siqi is also ready to make a dried apricot and dried plum dumplings.
After the busy farming, there are more female workers in the workshop, plus the help of Master Zhou, now there is not much shortage of manpower, Zhou Hao Zhou Xing taught other female workers, and there is no need to stare at it every day, so they have been helping to make zongzi at home during the holidays.
The festival is approaching, and many people come to the door to deliver zongzi, thinking about their next, but they don't accept other people's in vain, and their own zongzi are also wrapped out, and she will also give some back.
There are many people who come to deliver zongzi and collect more, so she must pack more, otherwise there will be not enough to eat.
The result is good, in exchange for what is exchanged, all that is left in the hand are the dates that can be bought on the market, and the novelty dumplings that are wrapped in their own bags are almost gone, so Siqi can only let Aunt Zhou and Aunt Liu prepare some more and continue to pack.
It's fun to make zongzi, Siqi is also happy, since the last time she made a contract with the Zhou family to start cooperating, Mrs. Zhou often comes to Gu's house, she is not much older than Siqi, Siqi likes her temperament very much, and similarly, she also likes Siqi, and the two of them can talk.
Even if you're not doing business, it's fun to walk around a lot.
On this day, Mrs. Zhou came again, bringing her own bag of zongzi, Siqi took it, and muttered, "Another one came to exchange for zongzi, and all the delicious food I wrapped here have been exchanged." ”
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "What are you muttering about?" ”
Now that the two of them are familiar with each other, they don't have to be so polite, Mrs. Zhou's boudoir name is Qiaoxing, which is the name given by her grandmother, the girl's family is not valued, and the old lady is still looking forward to a grandson, so this name is not interesting, but because she was born when the apricots were almost ripe, she gave such a name.
Siqi called her Sister Qiao'er, she called Siqi's name, and the relationship was much closer.
Siqi said with a smile, "I said that you came to exchange zongzi with me again, look at these, they were all sent by others, but they gave away all the delicious food I packed." ”
Mrs. Zhou said, "I'm here to exchange for your zongzi today, you have to get me some delicious food." ”
Before, she thought that she would make some snacks at home and send them to her, thinking about currying favor, but later she became familiar with it and realized that the food in this Gu Mansion was much better than what they made in their house.
Siqi is a lover of food, and she has figured out a lot of novel ways to eat, and she only saw it when she came here, and now she doesn't bring much to the door, but she wants to take some back.
Since Mrs. Zhou is here, she will help to wrap the zongzi together, and today she prepared 20 catties of rice, all of which must be wrapped out, don't look at so many zongzi, there will be no enough points at all.
At this time, zongzi is a rare thing, and most people are reluctant to pack how much, and one person can have a taste, and it is also a slightly better day to think about wrapping more zongzi.
There are so many servants in the yamen, and when they are all at home, they all have to go home for a day, and when the time comes, one person will bring a few, and all these dates and dumplings collected at home will be sent out, and they will all stay at home, so they can't be eaten.
This is already the third year of junior high school, and the zongzi are wrapped, and they should all be given away tomorrow.
Mrs. Zhou also stayed in the Gu Mansion for a lunch, and wrapped up for a while in the afternoon, by the way, but before she could leave, someone from the Gu Mansion came, and Zijun actually came over in advance.
Siqi was overjoyed and saw his eldest brother again, so can he not be happy? Seeing that someone from the family came, Mrs. Zhou didn't want to stay long, and proposed to leave, Siqi brought her some zongzi, sent her away, and talked to Zijun with peace of mind.
"Brother, why did you come here at this time? I'll be here tomorrow when you come, and I haven't received a letter in advance. ”
Zijun said, "If this is usual, I spend the festival alone, just eat two zongzi, but now that you and Tiankuo are here, I have been chattering, and I have finished dealing with important matters a few days in advance, and there is nothing important to do at hand, and there are people staring at the yamen, so I will naturally come over and get along with you for two days." ”
"How has this time been, have you encountered any trouble?"
Siqi said with a smile, "What's the trouble, you can rest assured, now it is getting smoother and smoother in Lu County." ”
Zijun said, "I still have something to tell you today, you have to take care of my side here, on business, I can't catch up with you, although my side is not as poor as Lu County, but the people's life is not very good, to say that this wool, there is also production, are directly sold, you here wool business has started, to buy a large amount of wool, my side can also be collected for you, to increase the livelihood of the people." ”
"I should be transferred next year, and I want to do more for the local people before I am transferred.
Siqi smiled and said, "What's not to help with this, you also need so many goods left and right, you have good ones there, of course I'm willing." ”
