Everyone thinks about it, it is also the same reason, the strength of the mother's family has always been a double-sided knife, when you meet a good person, it is a help, and when you meet a bad person, you will be troubled for a lifetime.

"That's it, fate is predestined, if the heart is a good stepmother, it is a blessing for the heart, if it is not good, let's love her more." Rui Xue didn't want to say much about it, so she glanced at the fillings on the small table, including fresh meat fillings, sausages, and dates, which were still a little monotonous, and said, "You wrap it first, and then I'll go to the kitchen to think about some other fillings, three are still too few, how can I make up enough nine kinds of stuffing, and ask for good luck." ”

Everyone naturally said yes, Caiyun took Kexin, carefully hugged it, and skillfully slapped it twice, and was about to shed tears.

Rui Xue was suspicious, and it was not good to ask in person, so she instructed, "Look at the child well, don't fall." ”

Caiyun whispered, she took Caiyue to the stove, Cui Niang was not at ease, afraid that Ruixue would be smoked, so she also followed.

Ruixue asked Cui Niang to take out the bamboo basket that had fallen into the well, turned over the half of the pork ribs she bought yesterday, and asked Cui Niang to chop it into small pieces one inch long, and then make it into a braised taste, and put it in a small clay pot to cool. The black sesame seeds are fried over low heat, the red beans are cooked in the pot and mashed into a puree, and the peach preserves and the pitted plums bought by Zhao Feng around the year are divided into a big bowl.

After calculating it, there were only five things, and there was still one taste, so Rui Xue opened a jar of osmanthus candy sent by the shopkeeper Cheng, and just made up six things.

Cui Niang helped her sit on the chair and said with a smile, "I didn't know before, this zongzi can still contain so many fillings." ”

Rui Xue remembered that in the previous life, this season, it was the time when the major food factories were full of gunsmoke, advertisements were overwhelming, all kinds of fillings, only you have not heard of it, there is absolutely no manufacturer can not think of it, it is really lively, these nine kinds of fillings are really nothing, "This year's preparation is in a hurry, and next year, we will wait a little time in advance, and the eighteen kinds of fillings can be prepared." ”

Cui Niang laughed, "If you follow you left and right, there will be no shortage of food, and the dim sum shops in the city may not have so many tricks." ”

Ruixue also remembered the Dragon Boat Festival that day, so she bought a river rice and came back to make zongzi, but she forgot to ask about the customs here, and suddenly heard Cui Niang talk about it, so she asked, "Where is my hometown, I am used to eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, don't we have this custom here." ”

"There are, but it's not as particular as the south, big families pack a few to try fresh, and it's good for poor people to be able to steam a bowl of japonica rice to eat."

Ruixue was relieved, and saw Caiyue's men pounding the bean paste, but she didn't know where she had gone, and she didn't notice that the bean paste was rotten into mud.

So, he called her and said, "Caiyue, it's okay, add some icing sugar in and stir, and then put out the bean paste." ”

Caiyue woke up and saw the bean paste in the stone mortar, and immediately apologized, "The slave is wrong, please punish Mrs." ”

Rui Xue frowned slightly, motioned for her to come to her, and said with a smile, "I have always felt that everyone has their own past, and if there is no obstacle with the family, they don't want to ask, so everyone doesn't know about your sister's life experience." However, in the past few days, I have seen that you have different hearts, just now Caiyun was still holding her and shedding tears, so I guessed that you were also treated poorly by your stepmother? ”

Caiyue's two little hands were clenched together, and her knuckles were white, showing that she was very sad in her heart, and she was silent for a long time before she said, "Mrs. guessed well, our mother also went because she gave birth to a little sister with dystocia, and my father married my stepmother, so I gradually ignored us, and my stepmother hugged my little sister to take care of her, and said that my little sister died of illness in less than two months." When she gave birth to a little brother to her father, she said that the family was not rich, and that she would have to provide for her little brother to study in the future, and that there was no money to buy a dowry for our sisters, so she found someone to sell us. ”

There is such a vicious stepmother in this world, it is really not as good as a beast, Cui Niang is usually fast-talking, and her temper is also hot, and she immediately scolded, "This woman is really a femme fatale, and she is not afraid of retribution, what about your father, he really sold you?" Even if I send you back to my grandfather's house. ”

Rui Xue was also so angry that her face was not good, "I dislike many children, I don't want to marry, how can I treat my children like this when I get married?" ”

Caiyue sobbed, "My grandfather's house is very far away, and my father said that he was unacceptable, and asked us not to hate him..."

"This is really..."Cui Niang and Rui Xue really didn't know what to scold him for such a father, so they had to take Caiyue's hand and persuade, "Don't think about the past, just because your father is no longer alive like your mother." In the future, you are in the Zhao family, as long as you do things well, you will definitely have no worries about food and clothing, and then find a good mother-in-law in a few years, and your mother will know about it, and you will rest assured. ”

Caiyue nodded violently and knelt down to kowtow to Ruixue, "My sister and I both know that Mrs. and Mr. are great benefactors, so Aunt Cui is going to send us to Hualou, if it wasn't for Mr. buying us back, we would all be ready to hang ourselves at night." ”

Cui Niang was sad and helped her up, "Don't cry, don't cry, just serve the master well in the future to repay her kindness." ”

Ruixue also sighed, "Who knows... Let's take a look at it one day at a time. ”

Caiyue wiped her tears, picked up the bean paste quickly, and a few fillings, put them in a big tray together, and took one back to the yard with Cui Niang.

Ruixue asked Caiyue to go to the warehouse to get a box of embroidery threads of various colors, and said with a smile, "Tie embroidery threads of different colors with different fillings, so that it is easy to distinguish, and when you send a gift to the city, it is good to look at it in a box." ”

Everyone said yes, smiled and divided, one person wrapped one, but it couldn't be mixed, and when Sister-in-law Zhang and Cuilan came back in the afternoon, they also joined in, and the bag was barely finished until it was dark.

On the second day, it was already the third day of the new year, and two earthen stoves were temporarily set up under the corner of the East Garden, and the largest iron pot was put up, filled with half a pot of water, and put in the wrapped triangular zongzi, and the fire was burned.

From the beginning of the hour to the end of the hour, the sweet aroma of rice lingers in the East Garden, and the laurel trees that are a little wilted seem to be a little more energetic, not to mention the schoolchildren who have a small slap in their throats while writing.

After listening to the sound of snorting and snorting, Zhao Fengnian had no choice but to put down the book, walked to the window, and saw Rui Xue standing at the base of the wall with a smile, Cui Niang took Yingzi pomegranate to put a big clay pot and was dividing zongzi, so he said, "Take a quarter of an hour, go to your master's wife, and let her share a few of your zongzi to taste, so as to save saliva and wet the paper and pen." ”

The schoolchildren were immediately overjoyed, threw down their pens, saluted respectfully, exited the door, and began to run madly under the wall. Seeing that they had arrived, they all looked at them with blank eyes, and Da Zhuang smiled and said, "Master, Mr. wants us to try Master's craftsmanship." ”

Rui Xue smiled and patted his head, "The zongzi has just come out of the pot, it's still too hot, you have to soak it in water for a while, why don't you take advantage of this effort to think about what fillings you want to eat." ”

Kuroko immediately said, "I eat braised pork ribs." ”

Da Zhuang also said, "I want it too." ”

The two of them had seen the fillings last night, so they naturally knew which one was delicious.

There are not many braised pork ribs, there are only more than fifty in total, Cui Niang is worried that the children will swarm with this, and it will not be enough to pack a box for a gift, so she smiled and said, "Other fillings are also very delicious, there are peach candied fruits, dates, preserved plums, bean paste, sesame, and sausages, meat fillings, you pick one you like." ”

Children love sweetness, and when they hear dates and peaches, most of them choose that one. When the zongzi were a little cooler, Ruixue picked them up according to their choice, untied the colored threads, peeled off the emerald green zongzi leaves, and revealed the transparent rice grains inside, wrapped in sweet or salty fillings, which immediately conquered the hearts of the children, and their eyes lit up when they ate them.

Caiyun and Caiyue came in to help carry the pottery pot, and when they saw that everyone was eating sweetly, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly, and Rui Xue asked them and Cui Niang and others to taste it too, so a large group of people stood in one place and ate it, which was even sweeter.

After the children finished eating, they ran back to class step by step, Cui Niang and a few went back to pick up the zongzi, leaving dozens of dates for everyone to taste fresh, and the rest were soaked in well water and placed in a cool place.

Early in the morning of the second day, Cui Niang rushed over early and packed the box with Caiyun Caiyue, one of each of the nine kinds of fillings in each box, and then tied the red thread outside, which was very decent.

Soon, Gao Fuquan came in and moved more than 20 boxes out, and all the restaurant shopkeepers who had dealings with the workshop sent a box, Tian Fu and Cheng shopkeepers, Ruixue instructed Zhang Dahe to send them in person, this is a fat difference, and anyone who goes will receive a reward.

However, Zhang Dahe smiled honestly and said, "Qian Heitan's daughter-in-law, who wants a dowry of ten taels of silver, is worried, so it's better to let him go." ”

Zhao Fengnian listened to it on the side, for fear that Rui Xue would make another awkward mistake, so he hurriedly said, "You can take Qian Heitan with you." ”

Zhang Dahe didn't know why, but he also responded, went out to see his daughter-in-law, and as soon as he told him about it, Zhang's sister-in-law pinched his arm, "You fool, don't worry about your father marrying a new wife in the future." ”

Zhang Dahe scratched his head, still didn't understand, "Kexin's father married a new wife, and Kexin will be taken care of by many people in the future, what's wrong, he can't live by himself." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang glared, "But Xinniang's hundred days haven't burned yet, he is about to marry a newcomer, which woman feels good when she hears it." What's the matter, listening to you say this, I seem to be very envious in my heart, do you want to divorce me and marry a young one? ”

Zhang Dahe choked, and immediately said, "You mother-in-law, why do you talk like this, okay, I'm busy, you should also hurry to the dock, no wonder the sage said, only women and villains are difficult to raise..."

Sure enough, the Boxing gift was sent to Tianfu, and a steward led him to the Lord of Heaven, and personally inquired about two sentences, and one person rewarded a big reward of two taels, and went to the old shopkeeper of Decheng, although he did not reward Tianfu much, one person also had one tael, and Qian Heitan easily got three taels of silver, and his face was so happy that he was full of flowers.
