Pomegranate didn't like to eat meat dumplings in her previous life, and the vegetarian dumplings filled with eight treasures are just right for her.

Solving the zongzi in her hand, Pomegranate found that the scholar who usually walked away when she saw her come actually sat down across the table, and also took a zongzi and slowly picked up the zongzi leaves.

Is it because of the familiarity?

Pomegranate muttered to herself.

Tao Shi saw that the pomegranate flower was stunned after eating the zongzi in his hand, and handed her a zongzi: "Eat the pomegranate quickly, the zongzi will not taste good if it is cold, what is it polite to come to me." ”

"You're welcome, aunt, I just suddenly remembered something." Pomegranate Hua took the zongzi and was afraid of Tao's questioning, so she hurriedly praised it: "Gubao's zongzi are really delicious." ”

Tao said with a smile: "If it's delicious, eat a few more, and if you have a lot of buns, it's enough." ”

"Whoa." Pomegranate agreed, and her eyes quickly swept over the scholar opposite.

The scholar was lowering his head and biting the zongzi intently, his long and dense eyelashes drooping, and he didn't notice that someone on the other side was peeking at him.

After eating too many zongzi, it is easy to accumulate food, and after the pomegranate flower eats the third zongzi, she said goodbye to the scholar's mother and son.

Dow emptied the bowl of pomegranate fish and filled it with rice dumplings until it was too much to pile up.

Pomegranate carefully held the bowl and walked home, for fear that the zongzi would roll out, and Tao and the scholar sent it to the gate of the courtyard together.

A woman with a sickle in her hand walked from the village to this side, and saw the pomegranate flower coming out of the courtyard of the scholar's house from a distance, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

The pomegranate flower walked slowly with a bowl full of zongzi, and when she arrived at the door of the house, she happened to meet the woman.

The woman stopped, stared at the bowl in the pomegranate flower's hand, and knew the advisor: "Yo, this zongzi is really delicately wrapped, pomegranate flower, where did you get it?" ”

The woman knew that it was Yao's third daughter-in-law who had a holiday with the Cao family.

On weekdays, Pomegranate must have replied in a good voice, but now she had heard from the words of Yao's third daughter-in-law that the other party was not so friendly, so she was not in a hurry to go in, and said to Yao's third daughter-in-law with a smile: "Auntie, where did I come from, didn't you see it clearly just now?" ”

Yao's third daughter-in-law was choked, and her face was pulled down, but the other party looked smiling, and she didn't want to have a seizure on the spot, so she secretly sighed in her heart and left with her breath.

"Boring people." Pomegranate pouted towards the back of Yao's third daughter-in-law.

Cao wrapped the rice dumplings in the hall house, and placed two wooden basins at his feet, one of which contained soaked glutinous rice and rice dumpling leaves, as well as palm leaves for binding, and the other for wrapped rice dumplings.

Seeing the zongzi that Pomegranate Hua got back, Cao Shi was very disgusted, "The zongzi package is so small, it can be eaten in two bites, and it is not too troublesome." ”

Pomegranate Hua understands Cao's temperament, she is in love with Tao's overly delicate lifestyle, so she held the bowl in front of Cao's and said with a smile: "Mother, the size of the zongzi in Gubao is a little smaller, but it tastes very good, you can try one." ”

"Isn't it just zongzi, you can still eat the taste of dragon meat." Cao's mouth said disdain, but in the end, he still put down the zongzi leaves in his hand and took a zongzi to eat.

Pomegranate put the bowl of zongzi on the dining table, and then came over to learn how to make zongzi.

After Cao Shi tasted the zongzi, he still looked disgusted, "I should be some kind of palace imperial food, but I just put a few more things than our family." ”

"It's like you've eaten imperial food." Pomegranate retorted silently in her heart, and her hands were also competing with Zongye.

Making zongzi may seem simple, but it is actually very skillful.

Pomegranate saw Cao Shi take a dumpling leaf and turn it again, it became a sharp cone, and in her hand, the dumpling leaf became disobedient, and she almost cut her hand.

Cao saw that the pomegranate flower had tossed and rotted a dumpling leaf and had not rolled it well, so he thought that the pomegranate flower was in the way, so he bombarded the girl and left.

The stubborn temper of the pomegranate flower in her previous life came up, and she squatted next to her and refused to go, carefully observing Cao's operation techniques and steps.

After the dumpling leaves are rolled, fill them with glutinous rice, then fold off the excess dumpling leaves on it to cover, then pinch both sides with the left hand, fold the dumpling leaves again with the right hand, and finally tie them tightly with the palm leaves torn into thin strips.

Carefully watched Cao's pack a few, and the pomegranate regrouped and went into battle again.

This time, the dumpling leaves were rolled up, and the glutinous rice was also put in, but when it was time to tie it, one hand slipped, the dumpling leaves spread out, and the glutinous rice was scattered everywhere.

Pomegranate was not discouraged and wanted to try again, but Cao was not happy, and even scolded and intimidated, and drove her daughter out.

Cooking zongzi in the afternoon, the work of burning the fire naturally falls on the pomegranate flower, and it is half a day to burn.

The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival, and a handful of calamus and wormwood were hung at the door of every house in the village.

On this day, the Tao family should go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors under the leadership of the patriarch, and the pomegranate flowers cannot be done, and women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, Tao Yougui and Tao Tianbao went.

It is said that people who have drunk noon water can live to ninety-nine, and take a bath with noon water and realgar, and this summer will not have prickly heat on the body, and they will not be bitten by snakes when they go out.

The first point, the pomegranate flower is unreliable, and for the latter point, she hopes it is true.

When they came to the well, the villagers had already formed a long line, and the pomegranate found Jinbao in the team at a glance.

When Jinbao saw the pomegranate coming, he grinned and beckoned the pomegranate to come in front of him.

The countrymen are not very aware of the social rules of queuing, and the queues are extremely loose. If you come late, you see that there is a good one in front, go over to chat a few words, and insert it in the way, and the people behind you won't say anything, and the water can't be finished if it's a big holiday.

"Brother Jinbao, you're back for the holidays!" Pomegranate came to Jinbao with a bucket, but did not stand in the line.

"I came back yesterday, it rained heavily a few days ago, and I couldn't do my job, and I couldn't go back." Jinbao was a little helpless in his words, and rushed to work, but it only took a few days before it began to rain.

Pomegranate comforted: "The rainy season is coming, just wait for it!" ”

Jin Bao sighed and said, "Whether you can go later or not is not certain." ”

Pomegranate hurriedly asked what was going on.

Jinbao motioned for Pomegranate to go and said.

The two of them were far away from the villagers in line, and Jinbao lowered his voice and told Liuhua: "That Yang Laosi is in trouble, and he has to go to the yamen to fight a lawsuit." ”

Pomegranate blinked, motioning for Campbell to be specific.

"Last time we met Yang Laosi, he said that there has never been a problem with the house he built, but just two days ago, a family's house collapsed, I heard that it is still a big family, and now that family is looking for trouble with Yang Laosi." Kimbao Road.

When she heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Did it hurt anyone?" ”

Jinbao shook his head, "We came back in a hurry, I haven't seen what the situation is in that house, I only heard that the house is strange." ”

When Pomegranate heard Jinbao say this, she didn't ask Yang Laosi about it.

At this time, Jinbao suddenly smiled and said: "Pomegranate flower, the rock and soil dug up on the construction site are really like you said, after three days of drying, such a big lump was kicked away by my feet." ”

Facts speak louder than words, and the pomegranate smiled without words.

Jin Bao said again: "That Zhan Gongzi's face was ugly at that time, and he originally wanted me to call you to go, but he was in a hurry to go back to the city, and he would talk about it when he returned to the town after the festival." ”

Everything was expected, but the pomegranate blossom did not feel proud.

There was only one thing she wanted to know now, what did Jinbao say was strange about that house?

Jinbao was talking to Pomegranate about the work on the construction site when he heard someone shouting, "Come at noon, fetch water." ”

The sound of people at the well was suddenly boiling, and the shouts of "fetch water, fetch water" echoed everywhere.

The person in first place drank a handful of water with his hand, then filled two buckets of water and carried it, and left happily.

Pomegranate and Campbell consciously stood at the end of the line, and by the time it was their turn, the well water was out of water.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jinbao, if I hadn't come, you wouldn't have been able to get water." Pomegranate apologizes to Jinbao, who was in front of the queue when she came.

Jin Bao waved his hand and smiled: "It's not past noon, what's the matter." You wait here, I'll go home and get the rope. ”

Pomegranate nodded, and Jinbao sped away.

A few more people came to draw water from behind, and when they saw this situation, they also sighed with admiration.

Pomegranate tells them that Campbell has gone to get the rope and tells them to wait a while.

Jinbao people are tall and long-legged, and they quickly turn around, first helping the pomegranate flower to beat the water, then helping others to fight, and finally hitting his own.

Pomegranate Hua was about to leave when she lifted the water, but saw Tao also coming with a bucket, and hurriedly shouted: "Aunt, come quickly, the well water can't be fought, Brother Jinbao has a rope." ”

"Here we are." Dow stepped up when he heard this.

Jinbao was fetching water for himself, and when he heard the voice, he put a bucket of water and waited for Dow to arrive.

"Aunt, why are you here so late?" Pomegranate waited for Dow to arrive at the well and asked.

Tao smiled kindly: "It's too crowded to come early, you come early, and you don't get the water until you get it." ”

The pomegranate was silent.

Jinbao lifted the water and poured it into Dow's wooden bucket, and Dow thanked Jinbao, and when Jinbao had made the water, he and the pomegranate flower went home.
