[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site" ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] It rains non-stop in mid-April, sometimes pouring; Sometimes it rains drizzle. So far, in the past ten days, only three or four days have not rained.
Zhu Neng, who was in charge of procurement, put on the hat and coat on his body, rushed into the kitchen and asked for a bowl of ginger tea to drink, and then wiped the rain on his body: "This rain is too powerful." ”
"You're suffering."
Zhu Neng shook his head: "It's nothing, but this rice and noodles are too difficult to buy." I had a good talk with the owner of the Chiayi rice shop before I came back from these loads. The other rice shops don't sell to me anymore. ”
Zhang Baoming nodded: "Also, this rain has been falling for more than half a month, and the road is not easy to walk." It's also slow to arrive. ”
"If it goes on like this, there will be a lot of water in August. If we don't get some food now, what will we do in the future? Zhu Neng said worriedly, "The price of this grain will definitely rise." ”
"Then our business will be difficult."
Zhu Neng said: "Of course it is." Now this is issued, even if there is no water, this year's grain will be destroyed. Those rice shops are all black-hearted, thinking that they will save food until the end of the year and the beginning of next year to make a lot of money. Little four, you go to Lao Qian and ask how much inventory you have? I knew that I would dig a few granaries and store a bunch of grain. I can't get up for two or three years. ”
The crowd laughed.
Feng Wanfu pointed at Zhu Neng and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you haven't eaten yourself, and you have raised a group of big rats!" ”
"Even so, you're not afraid of spoiling."
Zhu Neng said disapprerovingly: "You haven't been exposed to water, how do you know the difficulties here." In August of that year, I remember that the rain was pouring down for 17 days, without any rest. As a result, the river flooded, and my parents fled with my brothers and sisters, and when we fled to Huai'an, more than half of the people who followed us along the way starved to death. My sister-in-law gave birth to a girl on the road and threw her hand into the river. Oh my God, adults can't survive, let alone children. Later, my parents sold and gave away what my younger siblings sold. I'm a ***, and my dad changed three bowls of rice. ”
Zhu Neng just shook his head when he mentioned the past.
"What about the relief of the imperial court?" It was Qiu Duanfu who walked in with Zhao Xihou. Looking at his appearance, he has been standing outside for a long time.
Zhu Neng smiled: "Qiu Xianggong sits." He got up and gave up his seat, and sat himself aside.
Zhang Baoming said with a smile: "The imperial court also needs something for disaster relief, right?" The emperor doesn't ask anything, do you count on those officials in the household department, or the political envoys of the provinces? They are still waiting for the water to grow bigger and bigger, and the court will allocate money to come down and make a fortune. ”
Zhu Neng agreed: "That's it." The porridge, the porridge is thin, and the shadow can be revealed. Just like that, it's nice to be able to eat it. I remember that there was an official at that time, I don't remember what it was called, I only remember the surname, the surname Yang. That's a good official, and the porridge is pretty good. But it only took a few days to be dismissed. Why? Qiu Xianggong, this official gives money, money is not valuable, this treat does not need money, I don't want to find a way to get some, what does he eat. This thought is thinking about the granary, some are new rice for old rice, and some simply don't even have rice, where does he dare to open a warehouse to release grain. ”
"How do you know?"
"I used old people to do this when I was an apprentice. This thing is self-taught. Qiu Xianggong, you are a scholar, of course you don't know this. If you become an official in the future, you must pay attention to the scribe below. Some officials are good, and bad people below. ”
Qiu Duanfu's face turned white. But he didn't know that. Can those scribes still influence the chief officer? It's a long experience.
Zhao Xihou saw Qiu Duanfu getting inside, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, don't scare the son, if he doesn't dare to be an official, there will be one less chief assistant in the future, and the emperor will have to fight with you." ”
Relaxing words remove the oppressive atmosphere in the room.
"Brother Zhu, why are you here? By the way, I'm looking for you. The glutinous rice is shorter, there is no glutinous rice in the Dragon Boat Festival, how do you let us wrap the zongzi. When the time comes, you are not allowed to look for us. ”
Zhu Neng smiled and said to Rui Xue, who was collecting the umbrella: "I just said it." Today's food is hard to buy. ”
Rui Xue commanded people to put the zongzi leaves and glutinous rice in and put them in front of Dong Qiguang: "Master Dong, you promised to teach us to wrap zongzi." This is the same reed leaf as the reed leaf you want. ”
Dong Qiguang was slightly stunned, looked at Rui Xue followed by a few college apprentices, and then smiled: "Are you forcing the mountain gate?" It's easy to have fewer guests, and I can take a break. ”
Chengzi said with a smile: "When there are more guests, you have to be idle." ”
Dong Qiguang nodded. He is a dim sum master, and a zongzi can make more than a dozen styles, four corners, triangles, cones, diamonds, axes, pillows...... There is even more stuffing in it. In his words, as long as you can eat it, you can put it in it.
"We don't learn this."
Dong Qiguang wrapped a zongzi and put it in the basket on the side, and said with a smile: "If you don't learn, you won't teach, and you won't bother me in the future." ”
Rui Xue and Chengzi glanced at each other, and the latter smiled and said, "I don't just don't learn this kind of pillow, we want to learn the kind of one with meat inside, which is the one you are best at." ”
Several apprentices nodded. often said to Dong Qiguang's apprentice: "The fresh meat dumplings wrapped by the master are delicious." ”
Dong Qiguang threw away his hand and said with a smile: "You guys are really picky." Do I have to learn the skills of housekeeping? ”
Ruixue: What they are talking about is the zongzi wrapped in Dong Qiguang's hometown. A piece of fatty meat is sandwiched in the lean meat, and after the zongzi is cooked, the oil of the fatty meat penetrates deep into the glutinous rice, which has a unique taste. Even if you eat, you also pay attention to a zongzi chopsticks divided into four pieces, and you can see the meat in pieces.
As soon as Zhao Xihou heard about his temperament, he only asked Dong Qiguang to do it, and he wanted to taste it first.
Dong Qiguang saw the apprentice go to the kitchen next to him to get a few and come over: "There are cooked ones over there." Do you want fresh meat or sideways? There are bean paste, as well as mi-cang, and there are also light. ”
Zhao Xihou glanced at Qiu Duanfu, who was still stunned, and pushed him: "I eat salted meat dumplings, what about you?" I picked it up, you like to eat sweet. ”
Qiu Duanfu nodded.
The rice dumplings were brought over. Qiu Duanfu first said "Huh",
Dong Qiguang said: "Qiu Xianggong, what's wrong? ”
Qiu Duanfu pointed to the zongzi on the plate and said, "There are still such zongzi?" It's not like ours. ”
"What are you guys like?"
"It's like an awl, with a pointed end. It's bigger than that, and the dumplings here are very small. It seems that the leaves that are also useful are not the same. ”
Dong Qiguang nodded: "I know, I heard that the zongzi wrapped in the whole pepper area are like that, they are all wrapped in two zongzi leaves." You're using a basket leaf. ”
"Then you are ......"
Dong Qiguang took out a reed leaf and handed it over: "We also use a basket leaf, but my master also taught me to use this." We only wrapped it in a leaf, so it's smaller. ”
Qiu Duanfu took a look at the reed leaves, it turned out that the reed leaves could still be wrapped in zongzi? This is the first time I've heard of it.
Zhao Xihou had already smelled the fragrance of zongzi, and couldn't wait, so he asked for small scissors, cut the thin line, and opened the zongzi leaves: "It's so fragrant!" ”
"Why is this black? Put soy sauce? Qiu Duanfu was surprised again.
"Yes. Is there something wrong? ”
Qiu Duanfu smiled embarrassedly and waved his hand hurriedly: "It's nothing, it's nothing." It's just that my sister never puts soy sauce in the rice dumplings. ”
"I don't let go of the meat dumplings."
"I haven't been wrapped in my house. But I don't think we should have soy sauce at all. Snow Hall? Qiu Duanfu asked Zhao Xihou beside him.
But Zhao Xihou couldn't wait for a long time and ate first. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the pleasure of the food.
Glutinous but not rotten, fat but not greasy, tender and fragrant meat, fat but not greasy in the mouth.
"Sparse a few yellow plum rains, and the special side is at noon. The horn millet is covered with gold, the calamus is full of jade, and the scenery is still thorny. Shirt cut Ai Hu. It is more hairpinned with red charms, and the arms are wrapped in red wisps. Spray powder and fragrant cotton, call the wind and fan the small window noon. ”
Qiu Duanfu nodded and said, "This is the best way to count Huang Meiyu." I'm also a song. Qiu Duanfu opened his mouth slowly, and read word by word, "Daguan horn millet mushroom incense, colored rope thousands of red rays." Heavenly grace gave His Majesty Dan, and the feast was golden. The price of rice in the southeast is as high as jade, and thousands of families in Jianghuai are crying. Guanhe garrisoned 100,000 ships, and always sent Feisu to Tianfu. How can the king's heart be at ease, who can hold this time to wither? ”
"It's not good, it's not good. Change one. Zhao Xihou listened to Qiu Duanfu and thought of the previous one again, and only asked him to change it.
Rui Xue hurriedly stopped: "I think it's good." How can the king's heart be at ease, who can hold this time to wither? This corresponds to what Brother Zhu said. That's good. ”
Zhu Neng shook his head: "I don't understand it, but I understand" that the price of rice in the southeast is as high as jade, and thousands of families in Jianghuai are hungry and crying." But now that the price of rice is high, the people have no rice to cook? ”
Qiu Duanfu nodded.
For a while, everyone said yes.
"What do you say? So happy? Shang Kesheng and Cui Huaiguang came together, and for a while, the room began to give up their seats again.
Shang Kesheng hurriedly asked them to sit: "You sit." Zhu can you sit. I'm just coming in for a bowl of ginger soup. Leave in a moment. ”
Dong Qiguang asked the apprentice to get some zongzi again, and said: "Zhao Gongzi and Qiu Xianggong are eating zongzi, they have good temperaments and do things. Zhao Gongzi said that Qiu Xianggong's poems were not good, but Ruixue said that they were good. We don't understand. ”
Shang Kesheng said "oh": "I don't know if the two of you want to read it again, let me listen to it too." After listening to Qiu Duanfu's poems, Shang Kesheng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Qiu Xianggong's poems are very suitable for the current situation, they are just talking about state affairs, and if they are spread outside, it will probably not be good for Xianggong." It's better to change the song. ”
Zhao Xihou smiled: "That's it!" I'll just say no. Change the song. ”
Qiu Duanfu nodded and thought for a while: "The jade grains measure the rice and water and the pottery, and wrap the leaves and ramie silk." The corners are swollen after cooking, and peeled off to form a fiber paste. The local customs are Qingming to worship the twilight, and the poet hangs the Dragon Boat Festival. Every year in the spring and summer, Bingshe Nanzhan misses his sister's labor. ”
Zhao Xihou listened to his poems and knew that he missed his sister, so he said with a smile: "This is better than mine, I admit defeat and punish myself with three zongzi." ”
When some apprentices saw Zhao Xihou like this, they were also bold, and even blew up their mistakes, and then said: "Punish me for eating two zongzi." ”
For a while, laughter spread in the room.
Qiu Duanfu's heart is much quieter than the lively kitchen. No wonder Old Lady Zhao asked him to come here, but after listening to their idleness, he knew many things that he never knew, and he couldn't see these things in the book.

Jiaxing zongzi: the boss of the zongzi industry, of course, everyone will say that there are also Huzhou zongzi. The two of them are Tsinghua University and Peking University in zongzi, and it is not clear who is the first. The whole pepper bun cone-shaped dumplings are made up by me, don't take it seriously.
If you want to know the history of zongzi but you can go to Baidu, I won't be verbose. Just to illustrate the appearance of zongzi wrapped in reed leaves in the Ming Dynasty.
o()〈))o Why is this year's dumpling leaves so difficult to buy, my old man ran out early in the morning for several days in a row to squat in several markets, but unfortunately empty-handed, today finally let him 'grab'.
As for Zhao Xihou's, I copied Yang Wuyi's words "Qi Tianle. Dragon Boat Festival", and Qiu Duanfu's two poems, the first is Zhuang Chang's "Dragon Boat Festival Food Gives Zongzi Feeling" in the Ming Dynasty; The second song is "Zongzi" by Qing Zhi Yong. One expresses the poet's sympathy for the people without rice during the Dragon Boat Festival, and whips the corrupt life of the emperor and the master; One describes the production process and cooked form of zongzi in his hometown, and uses zongzi to pour out his longing for his distant mother. Of course, the original sentence of 'Bing Shen Nan Zhan Nian Mu Lao' was changed by me to 'Bing Shen Nan Zhan Nian Sister Lao'. ’
