This day is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and everyone is busy wearing sachets and hanging wormwood to listen to the play, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu have not reconciled with these things, and they don't have the heart to care anymore, so Jia's mother can't rest assured, and urges Wang Xifeng to go into the garden to see how the two are doing. If it is not good, persuade them.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I don't need to look at it, in three days, they will be fine by themselves." ”

Mother Jia was laughed at by her, pointed at her and scolded her: "You are just lazy, don't go quickly." ”

Wang Xifeng sighed and said: "That's it, I wanted to hide and be lazy once, but who knew that you could see it." I'll go. ”

She said to Baochai: "The two of them can have something to talk about, three days are good, two days are annoying, the older they are, the more they become children, but they have to work hard for me to run." ”

Tanchun smiled: "If you don't go, you won't be able to watch this drama." ”

Wang Xifeng just left Rongqing Hall and went to the Grand View Garden.

After Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu reconciled, they felt that it was a little inappropriate for the two of them to complain that he had also complained to you that you were not feeling well in the past few days, so the two of them prepared to go to Jia's mother to ask for peace, and they also showed up in front of everyone.

happened to meet Wang Xifeng halfway, she saw that Jia Baoyu was pulling Lin Daiyu to go to Jia's mother, and immediately smiled: "Sure enough, I answered my words!" The old lady was so worried that she urged me to come and see it, so I said it was okay! You two children have a temper, don't come with me quickly, and let the old lady rest assured. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Lin Daiyu out.

Because the courtyard was sprinkling realgar wine, Musk Yue disliked the smell and ran out to avoid it. From afar, he saw the three of them going out of the garden, so he went back and told the attacker, so that she would not be worried.

Reciting Buddha in her mouth, Jiang Yan smiled: "It's been so many years, you haven't gotten used to it?" There is no need for others to worry, the two of them are fine themselves, and others are just in a hurry. ”

"I haven't gotten used to it for a hundred years!" Yesterday, you didn't see Baoyu's angry appearance, his face turned yellow, he has always been good-natured, how could he ever be angry like that? That is, Miss Lin has this ability. ”

This is also true, Jia Baoyu is angry mostly because of Lin Daiyu. But because of love, he is worried, and from love, he is afraid, and he doesn't take others to heart, how can he be so angry? If you feel that Lin Daiyu is not Jia Baoyu's good match because of this, it is too one-sided.

It's a pity that she is the only one who thinks so, anyway, the attacker has never praised Lin Daiyu in private, and she can't tell when it started, but she is full of praise for Xue Baochai.

Jiang Yan was not interested in talking to her here about how petty Lin Daiyu was, so she excused herself and went out under the pretext that she was looking for her in the kitchen.

This is not an excuse, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the kitchen has already prepared all kinds of dried fruit candied glutinous rice dumpling leaves to wrap zongzi. Jiang Yan has always had a good relationship with the kitchen, and today she specially told them that she was going to help.

In her previous life, she still had the opportunity to use the spatula, but in ancient times, when women were valued for the four virtues, she had no chance to cook. At this time, wrapping a zongzi is like playing, and there are a few maids who want to follow her, but unfortunately the kitchen is heavy, and ordinary people can't go in, Jiang Yan only brought Liang'er to help, but she promised to bring some zongzi leaves and glutinous rice back when the time comes, and everyone will try it in the yard by themselves.

When Jiang Yan arrived in the kitchen, the glutinous rice had already been soaked, and many cooks were busy around a pot of glutinous rice, and the housekeeper who was familiar with her was making people move faster. Seeing Jiang Yan coming, she said with a smile: "Miss Danyu, the spinach and amaranth you asked me to prepare are all washed and put there." What do you want all this for? Yesterday you sold me Guanzi, can you say it now? ”

This is when she was idle and ready to make five-color zongzi, or a few days ago she watched Qiuwen prepare five-color silk threads for her younger brother to remember, at this time the five-color is the auspicious color, and the five-color silk threads are called longevity. If you make a five-color rice dumpling, it will definitely be popular. But I'm afraid that it won't work out once, so she didn't say what it was used for, so she just waited for it to be tested today.

After Jiang Yan said to the housekeeper, she started to chop the vegetables, asked Liang'er to help mash out the juice of those vegetables, strained it carefully with gauze a few times, wrung out the juice, and then put the soaked glutinous rice into it to soak. At this time, she had to wait for a while, and Jiang Yan was not idle, so she went to help others make zongzi first.

Liang'er was a little curious and said, "Can this really be made into five-color zongzi?" ”

This is not technical, the housekeeper looked at it for a while and understood, she replied: "How can it not be done?" Let's wrap these up and see the effect right away! After speaking, he looked at Jiang Yan with appreciation, "No wonder people say that you are clever, why didn't I think of this five-color zongzi after making zongzi for so many years!" ”

Jiang Yan said: "This is just a trivial matter, you manage such a big kitchen every day, where did you think of this." If you don't bother, let everyone come over and pack it together, I can't finish it. ”

The housekeeper was secretly glad that she didn't perfunctory Jiang Yan yesterday, otherwise the credit would not have fallen on her! This five-color zongzi is festive at a glance, and has the meaning of driving away evil and avoiding plague, and when the time comes, it is also happy to put it on the plate.

But Jiang Yan is a person after all, and she came out of the old lady's room, she didn't think about ignoring her merits, but that's it, they can also drink some soup, after all, she is not an errand in the kitchen.

The housekeeper thought so, and smiled more and more kindly at Jiang Yan, and waited for more than half an hour, the glutinous rice was finally dyed, and the housekeeper immediately asked others to wrap this pot of rice first, first wrapping one color one, five kinds tied together, and then trying to wrap several colors in a zongzi, with bean candied fruits of the same color, all kinds of ingenuity, worthy of being a veteran who has worked in the kitchen for so many years.

Jiang Yan's big bag is okay, and later when they wrapped the five-color zongzi, for the sake of beauty, they were all tied together with five small ones, so she didn't have that skill, so she could only give way and watch others wrap it.

The rice here has not been wrapped yet, and the housekeeper Mama can't wait to take a dozen of them and put them in the big pot to cook, Jiang Yan simply waited with her by the stove, this is also the first time she has dyed, the glutinous rice looks good, and I don't know how the color is when it is cooked?

The water in the pot finally boiled, and when it rolled a few times, the housekeeper couldn't wait to take out the zongzi, and she didn't care about the scalding, so she peeled off the zongzi in a few clicks.

Jiang Yan waved away the heat in front of her and went over to take a look, fortunately, the color was lighter, but it was indeed five-colored!

The housekeeper's eyes were smiling, and she immediately called a mother-in-law and asked her to go to the vegetable room to pick vegetables, and find a lot of these dyed vegetables, and they will wrap five-color zongzi today!
