Mrs. Zhao was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

Thinking again, the old ladies in this city are different, educated and knowledgeable, and they are much better than the group of people in Changshui Village who love to fiddle with right and wrong.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao also comforted her daughter-in-law and said, "Don't worry, not only Jiangang will leave things for my good grandchildren, but also my things will be left for the child in your belly in the future." ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law." The woman nodded shyly, she had never understood which kind of woman a man like Gu Jiangang liked the most.

A rude and willful old woman like Mrs. Zhao, she knows how to tame her.

......

Since Labor Day, on June 1st, Changshui Village ushered in a wave of small peaks.

Because it is Children's Day, almost all of the visitors who come on this day are people with children.

Many of these people came to play because they came to play when the county central primary school came to the spring outing on May Day before, so this time June 1st came again, and some of them were brought by these people.

People from ten miles and eight towns in this vicinity, because it is close to Changshui Village, so there are many people who come to play.

The newly set up stalls in the village once again tasted the feeling of booming business.

Although I didn't expect so many children to come on Children's Day, but at this time, the beach and children's paradise have also added a lot of projects, children can not only play sand, trampoline, but also many amusement projects that children can play, which can be regarded as very well prepared.

......

This year's Dragon Boat Festival is on June 16, and Moon Bay has been preparing ten days in advance.

There are several old people in the family, all of whom are very traditional people, especially Master Yang and Yang Lao, one inherits the family craftsmanship, and the other is a cultural scholar, who attaches great importance to these customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, but in the past, Yang Lao was alone in Qingyang Town, and Master Yang was busy with business in the restaurant, so they couldn't take care of these, so the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in previous years was simple.

Now that they have come to Changshui Village, they have time and someone to accompany them, so they want to have a good time.

In Changshui Village, at this time of the year, they began to prepare the materials for making zongzi.

This year, because of the new atmosphere, the atmosphere of everyone's festival is also stronger.

A few years ago, Grandma Liu and Lin Dongqing didn't have the energy to do these because they were old, and they used to be in charge of their uncles and aunts.

Simply this year here in Moon Bay, there are a lot of people, everyone is lively together, and it is not troublesome to do this, but everyone feels more happy and lively when they do things together.

The tradition here in Hede is to eat meat dumplings, and this year because of Master Yang, they decided to wrap a little bit of several categories of zongzi in Tiannan and Haibei.

This year is the first year to plant rice on the mountain, because glutinous rice is needed to wrap zongzi, make rice cakes, and make Qingming kueh during the Qingming Festival, so Gu Jingyun also planted half an acre of glutinous rice.

However, the glutinous rice will not mature until autumn, and it is destined to be impossible to eat your own glutinous rice during the Dragon Boat Festival, so the glutinous rice wrapped in zongzi is still bought outside.

Gu Guoyun bought the glutinous rice back, Master Yang picked up one and sent it to his mouth to taste, commenting, "This glutinous rice is not bad, although it is last year's rice, but the color is milky white, the shape is slender, such glutinous rice dumplings are not only viscous, but also fragrant, quite suitable for wrapping zongzi." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Master Yang, "It's good to buy the right one, otherwise Master Yang, you will say that I won't buy anything." The boss said that this is the best kind of glutinous rice in his shop, and I bought it when I made zongzi delicious. ”

Master Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "You still say, it's still a rural baby, and you don't even know how to buy tofu." ”

Speaking of this, Master Yang was a little speechless.

A few days ago, he asked Gu Jingyun to go to the town to buy tofu, because he wanted to buy the kind of tender tofu that cooks vegetables, but Gu Jingyun bought it back and saw that it was actually that kind of old tofu.

And because there are many people who eat in Moon Bay on weekdays, she is afraid that it will not be enough, so she bought several boards at a time.

Although Chef Yang is a superb cook, he immediately replaced the dishes that need to be made with tender tofu and uses old tofu, but he still can't help but say a few words about the situation.

This will take care of the situation Yun actually mentioned this matter again, and Yang Lao naturally had to talk about it.

Gu Jingyun consciously poked the hornet's nest, bowed his head and kept silent.

But in her heart, she thought that this tender tofu and old tofu look similar, and she just can't tell what to do!

I want to cry!

This Dragon Boat Festival to make zongzi, not only did I make several kinds of fillings, but even the zongzi leaves for wrapping zongzi were prepared several kinds, including banana leaves, bamboo leaves, and reed leaves.

Because of the local customs, the most made is meat dumplings.

Wash the fresh rice dumpling leaves, then put them in a pot of boiling water and cook for three to five minutes, then remove them to dry.

After the glutinous rice was quickly cleaned, it was put into a large wooden basin with a diameter of more than one meter and a height of 30 centimeters, and Master Yang added some other seasonings such as clear oil and soy sauce to it, and then mixed it evenly.

The meat wrapped in the meat dumplings is also marinated in advance, the skin is removed, the fat and lean meat are separated, and the meat is cut into pieces about three to four centimeters square, and the ratio of fat and lean meat pieces is more appropriate at one to two.

Pour cooking wine, soy sauce, salt and a little sugar into the meat, chicken essence, a little more wine, a little less soy sauce, and stir.

Gu Jingyun saw that after Master Yang put these spices into the meat, he kept rubbing them with his hands until the meat foamed at the mouth.

Gu Jingyun was puzzled, "Master Yang, your light and meat have been kneaded for more than ten minutes, it should have been reconciled!" ”

Master Yang smiled, "This meat, it's about to be kneaded to foam, which means that the taste has completely eaten into the meat, and the effort hasn't arrived yet, and I have to knead it for a while." ”

Gu Jingyun nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Chinese cooking skills were really broad and profound.

When the meat and glutinous rice are well mixed, the glutinous rice in the wooden pot also takes on an oily soy sauce color.

As soon as Master Yang said that the rice was reconciled, everyone moved a small bench and sat by the wooden basin, and Lin Shuhua set up a small table next to them one by one, on which were placed zongzi leaves, scissors, and cotton threads, all of which were tools for making zongzi.

"I was still in the town during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, but I didn't expect us to come to the village this year, and everyone got together." Grandma Liu picked up a dumpling leaf and was the first to speak.

"Yes, last year, the old man and I were alone in the town, and on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, my son and daughter-in-law came back with my grandson, and they brought all the zongzi sent by the people below, and I didn't pack them, so I had a very boring time. I never thought, hehe, so many of us have gathered together this year, especially when we can eat zongzi made by Lao Yang, this world, there are really too many changes. "Yang Lao doesn't know how to make zongzi, but it doesn't disturb his enthusiasm for learning, everyone is here, and it's quite interesting to chat.

While learning to make zongzi with Master Yang, he was talking to everyone.

"It's good for us to be like this, we all live here, and we can talk and talk in normal times, but it's much better than you being alone in Qingyang Town." Master Yang laughed twice, and then answered, "Alas, by the way, Lao Yang, are they coming over for your son during the Dragon Boat Festival?" ”

Yang Lao said, "I didn't call before, but I think I'll call back in the next two days." By the way, Xiao Yun, I will leave twenty zongzi from the pot today, and let Xiao Tao take them to the provincial capital for me tomorrow to give to you Brother Yang. ”

"Oh, okay." Considering the situation, Yun Lang replied.

Just when this batch of zongzi came out, she was also going to send some zongzi to the second brother and Han Qingyi in the provincial capital, as well as Sister Wanjun in Haicheng.

Gu Jingyun looked at the more and more dumplings, thought about it, and said to her mother, "Mom, it just happens that the family is making zongzi today, or call the uncle and them by the way, come to the house for a meal!" When I want to come to the Dragon Boat Festival, my cousin and aunt will meet my mother's house, and today we will celebrate the festival in advance. ”

After all, my grandparents haven't seen Haohao for a long time, and the two old men probably miss them too.

When grandma heard Gu Jingyun's words, her eyes lit up, and she instructed Lin Shuhua, "Let your eldest brother bring Haohao too, my good grandson, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's weird." ”

Lin Shuhua chuckled, wiped his hands and went into the house to make a call.

"Xiaoyun also planted glutinous rice this year, and we can use it to wrap glutinous rice balls during the New Year." Lin Dongqing brought up another topic.

"Yes, in the first year of planting, I don't know how the yield is!" Gu Jingyun said.

She didn't have any experience in growing glutinous rice at home, so she didn't know if she could grow it well.

"I went to see the rice when it was blooming before, and there were a lot of rice flowers, so I think this year's yield should be good." Gu Jianping replied.

"Anyway, every year in the summer, I will hear the news say, which is another typhoon, why have I never heard such news in Changshui Village this year, aren't you here near the sea." Master Yang suddenly remembered something, so he asked.

Lin Dongqing smiled incomprehensibly, "Hehe, Brother Xingyun, you don't know anything, Changshui Village has always been a treasure of feng shui, and it has not been easy for typhoons to pass by since ancient times, once or twice a year, and the power is not great, so there is nothing strange."

When Master Yang heard this, he couldn't help but stretch out his thumb, "Not bad, our Changshui Village is really a treasure!" ”

The coastal areas of China are deeply affected by typhoons every year, and every summer they are hit by typhoons, causing heavy economic losses to the areas they pass through.

Changshui Village was able to avoid such losses, and Master Yang was quite pleased.

Gu Jianping sighed, "Speaking of which, although there are not many typhoons in our village every year, last year's one still caused a lot of losses to the family!" ”

This matter, except for the Gu family and the two old people in the orchard at the time, no one else heard them mention it, even Lin Dongqing and Liu Yun, Lin Shuhua was afraid that the two old men would worry, so they didn't tell it.

Therefore, as soon as Gu Jianping said this, it immediately attracted the sideways eyes of everyone present, and they all signaled Gu Jianping to continue with their eyes.

This matter has already passed, and Gu Jianping has nothing to say, so he will tell the story of what happened at that time.

When Gu Jianping said that after the typhoon, thousands of fruit trees fell in the orchard, several old people present couldn't help but sweat for Gu Jingyun.

I can think of how much of a blow Gu Jingyun suffered at that time, and how could Gu Jingyun, who had just come back and didn't have much savings, bear such a big loss.

Grandma Liu picked up Gu Jingyun's hand and stroked it gently, "Yun Nier, why don't you tell us about such a big thing!" ”

Gu Jingyun wrinkled her little nose at Grandma Liu, and said in a coquettish tone, "I still want to tell you about this kind of thing, doesn't it make you worry out of thin air?" And I can still bear that little loss. ”

Liu Yun and Lin Dongqing have always been pampered but not doted on their children, but they always can't help but feel a little extra sorry for the only granddaughter in the family.

Grandma Liu stretched out her hand to straighten her sideburns, "Grandma knows that you are sensible, but you still have to tell us something!" Grandma is not afraid of worrying, but she is worried that you will hide everything from us and don't tell us anything, so grandma is really sad! ”

Gu Jingyun felt that something was in the corner of her eyes, she leaned over and hugged her grandmother, and pillowed her head on her shoulder, "Well, I know grandma, I will tell you anything in the future." ”

Lin Dongqing can't see such a meaty scene the most, and he is not a person who is good at expressing feelings, so when he sees the posture of his wife and granddaughter 'looking at each other and crying at each other', he feels that he is not energetic.

"Alright, everybody's watching here, what are you two like this, you two have to be carried into the house."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Especially Mr. Yang and Master Yang, this Lao Lin is too good-looking.

......

There are quite a lot of zongzi wrapped on Moon Bay today, there are more than 1,000 in rough calculation, and there are several pots of zongzi just boiled, one pot and one taste.

Just like when I boiled tomato sauce, a pot stove was built in the yard, and the fragrance of cooking zongzi spread far and wide, and naturally, it also attracted a lot of tourists who came to smell the fragrance.

That person was originally a tourist from Hede County, and he took advantage of the holiday to come to Changshui Village to play with his wife and children.

His wife and children were all playing in the water, so he wore a pair of beach pants and lay under the parasol to pretend to sleep, which felt very beautiful.

As a result, after a while, a smell of meat wafted from nowhere and burrowed into his nose.

Then, the stomach rumbled, and the man thought that he had eaten a lot at noon, and how could he be hungry in only two hours, it was simply unscientific.

So, he decided, hold back.

Then, after another ten minutes, the man felt that he couldn't help it, and looked at his wife and children who were still playing very happily, and he thought that it should be okay for him to leave for a while, so he smelled all the way to Moon Bay.

It was in the afternoon, and it was a good time to rest, and the man walked into Moon Bay with a light footstep, and found that there was no one, so his voice was slightly amplified and he roared, "Is there anyone?" ”

After wrapping the zongzi, the old people rested and rested, and those who went out for a walk went out, leaving only Gu Jingyun alone here to watch the fire.

When the man came in, Gu Jingyun was adding wood to the stove, and she was startled by this voice coldly, and the wood in her hand almost hit her feet.

She looked up and saw the man walking into the courtyard, "Someone, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
