Chapter 210: Zongzi Festival
Jiang Fenghao finally agreed to Jiang Mufeng, and took the time to find those old ministers to deal around, as for what kind of maneuvering method...... Only he knows this.
After getting the affirmative answer of the husband and wife, Jiang Mufeng took Leng Ling back to the palace with satisfaction, and did not forget to go to the orchard to wreak havoc before leaving, and took away a lot of seasonal fresh fruits, even the lychees whose shells were still green did not let go, and he had to pick a few and go back to taste them.
He Xiaoqiao was very contemptuous of this.
Time flies by like a white horse.
Three days later, a paper emperor list fell from the sky, attracting countless onlookers.
Especially at the corner of the downtown street, the people who don't know why have an unprecedented enthusiasm for this thing, and they all sharpen their heads and squeeze forward, wanting to see what the emperor said today.
It's not that I haven't heard that big families openly throw hydrangeas to recruit sons-in-law, but the competition to recruit relatives ...... This is shrimp bowl cake again?
Sitting on the horse and looking at the flat yellow paper from afar, Hu Yanxu's face was slightly distorted.
Although I already knew the news two days ago, as the number one goal of this conference that must be 'off the list', I am still angry when I look at this matter again.
Whip raised, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Come on, get that damn ......"
"Brother Huang!" Hu Yan Suxin pressed his hand, shook his head and persuaded in a low voice, "Don't be impatient, it's not the time yet." ”
Brainless fools don't want to think about what kind of situation they're in. It is not yet time to complete the task and return to China, and now tearing up the imperial list in front of him will undoubtedly slap Emperor Dayan in the face - if they really want to do this, it is estimated that they will have to run away overnight.
What's more, for them, it doesn't matter what the identity of the object of the relationship is, how much benefit can be brought to them is the priority, the left and right are just a woman, and what to do with bringing back Xiyuan is not up to them?
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient! How many more times do you have to say it? After arriving in Dayan, everything went wrong, not only was he humiliated but also had to swallow his anger, he had long wanted to explode, at this time, whoever spoke out he must be the first to be angry, "Don't think that you are the sister of this prince, this prince will not beat you, I don't need you to teach you a lesson!" ”
"Su Xin is just considering the overall situation, not intentionally annoying the imperial brother." Hu Yansu said softly, but there was an obvious disdain in his eyes, "If the imperial brother is still angry, let them tear up the imperial list." ”
"You!" Hu Yanxu gritted his teeth and looked at her for a long time, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
A little calm-headed, he didn't dare to really move the emperor list after all, this kind of thing that challenged the emperor's authority changed them to the victorious country, and he must not hesitate to step forward - but unfortunately it is not in the West Yuan after all, in Dayan, they are just the side that was beaten to the door of the house and had to come to beg for mercy, "This prince is too lazy to worry about you, let's go." ”
As he spoke, he pulled the reins and rushed out first with his feet in the belly of the horse, kicking over countless roadside stalls along the road, causing a lot of angry scolding.
What kind of situation is the Huyan brothers and sisters, He Xiaoqiao doesn't care, what she cares about is her home and the silver of white flowers.
"Hurry up, put the glutinous rice over there, it's not enough!"
"There, pick lotus, you help watch the point, the wrapped zongzi are sent to the kitchen quickly, and the cooked ones are put in one place to cool!"
"Ah Fu removed your claws, dirty to death, dare to steal and beat you!"
"Calculated by piece, the more zongzi you wrap, the more wages you get, come on, everyone!"
The feeling of being the boss is cool, you don't have to do anything, just be responsible for the command.
Holding a cup of hot goat's milk in his hand, He Xiaoqiao sat in a shady position at the door, leaning back against a high-backed chair and giving orders, ready to put the zongzi that had passed the experimental period and achieved good results on the market to make a big profit.
I heard that there is a salary to take, the maids and women in the house, and even some small maids who want to earn two small sums also came, nearly 100 people, one person and a small bench sat on the ground, and the movements of their hands were fast or slow to fiddle with the raw materials for making zongzi.
Take two pieces of hoop leaves folded into a funnel shape, put a spoonful of glutinous rice, add a variety of condiments, and then a spoonful of glutinous rice after the palace, compacted from top to bottom and kneaded into a triangle, with a boiled straw rope roll, bundled and strong is a perfect triangle dumpling.
The weather was not as hot as a few days ago, the big yard was full of people inside and outside, dozens of wooden barrels full of stuffing were placed on the ground, the cooking smoke in the kitchen never stopped from morning to night, and the aroma of all kinds of food drifted out with the wind.
In the corner, there are hot zongzi that have just come out of the pot, packed in a large basket, stacked on top of each other on a bamboo frame, densely packed, not to mention thousands of them.
Mustard with salted meat, roasted pork with mung beans, bean paste with candied dates, roasted pork with potatoes, onion and squid dumplings...... All kinds of strange things, as long as He Xiaoqiao can think of all the flavors, they have come out.
Now that it has been made, of course, it is enough to share it.
The first batch of zongzi made was divided while it was hot, and everyone in the house from top to bottom had one.
He Xiaoqiao chose his favorite double-cooked zongzi, and as soon as the steaming zongzi was opened, the fragrance of the leaves spread. In the same rice dumpling, salted glutinous rice, salted egg yolk, dried shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, sausages, braised pork and chestnuts are wrapped on one side, and sweet glutinous rice, lotus seeds, peanuts and red bean paste are wrapped on the other.
Peel off the coat of the zongzi and bite into it, the taste of a variety of foods will be combined, fragrant and sweet, and then dipped in a special sweet sauce, the taste will be even more unique.
Bai Shou, who is as sweet as his life, has eaten nearly ten alone, and he doesn't know how his belly grows, but it didn't break it.
Jiang Fenghao's taste is similar to He Xiaoqiao's, in addition to liking double-cooked zongzi, the husband and wife also fell in love with onion and squid zongzi and cumin mutton zongzi together, so under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, these two zongzi are made the most in the house, causing He Xiaoqiao to be nauseated when he sees these two dishes in the future.
The ancients never lacked romantic cells, although Dayan did not say the Dragon Boat Festival, but with the hot dragon boat race and the touching love story made up, Taibai Lou's new food - zongzi, is still loved and sought after by everyone.
There are even some glass-hearted women who buy zongzi and go to the river to feed, praying that the fish and shrimp in the river will be full, and that they will not bite the lovers who died for love, so that they can be reborn from the river, and continue to live and fly again.
Really delicious and expensive zongzi He Xiaoqiao naturally won't let them waste so much, usually they are full of sentimentality to throw the zongzi into the lake, and the next second there is a special frogman from the bottom of the water to take the net pocket back, dry it can continue to sell to others to throw away, or it can also be cooked again and distributed to beggars and homeless people on the roadside, in short, it must not be wasted.
As zongzi became more and more popular, many literati and writers even began to chant poems and lyrics with zongzi and the illusory love story, and the shopkeeper of Taibai Lou had a unique vision, discussed it with He Xiaoqiao, and took the opportunity to launch a glutinous rice chicken cooked with rice wrapped in lotus leaves and chicken, shiitake mushrooms and various precious spices. It was delicious and the price was not too high, and it quickly won a large number of repeat customers.
He Xiaoqiao also gave a big red envelope to the shopkeeper of Taibai Building for this reason, and Jiang Fenghao had no objection to this at all - there is a capable daughter-in-law at home, and he is absolutely happy to be idle.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that his daughter-in-law always likes to run around with her stomach up and do dangerous movements, he would definitely be happier.
"Lady, you go slowly, watch out for the front." The hard-working husband worked hard to catch up with the daughter-in-law who ran with the ball, and he didn't dare to go too fast to disturb her interest, so he had to follow step by step, while scanning up and down, left and right in an all-round way to prevent her from something, "The time has not yet come, and the dragon boat race will not start without the finishing touch." ”
What's more, the palace has already reserved the best viewing position for the two of them on the high platform, even if they enter the table late, no one dares to say anything, and the field of vision is still broad.
"I'm just going to see the eye, otherwise it's boring just to watch the game." He Xiaoqiao glanced back at him, having said that, he didn't walk quickly with his already pregnant belly, slowed down his pace and climbed his arm to move forward in unison with him.
Seeing that she finally slowed down, Jiang Fenghao's hanging heart finally let go a lot, took a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat beads on her forehead for her, and said nonchalantly, "If the lady wants to put the finishing touch, let people say it, the palace will definitely wait." If you don't feel like it's fun just by looking at it, then let's get a few in our own house and let you play with it. "There are only a few boats left and right, and he can afford this little money.
"Yes, yes!" There is a way to make money, and the princess, who is more quickly defeated, immediately nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, her eyes lit up and she planned with great interest, "Wait for a time in two days, let's also hold a competition in the house, there are not many boats, four is enough!" As he spoke, he boyishly gave four rounded fingers out.
Jiang Fenghao pressed her finger back, and said calmly, "Where are the four ships enough, at least double them." "Otherwise, where can you enjoy it?
"Okay, just listen to the princess, eight ships!" He Xiaoqiao was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground when he thought of the huge lake in the mansion.
Because of her rare 'Xianggong', Jiang Fenghao grinned, and didn't care about her risky actions, reached out and touched her stomach comfortingly, and helped her to walk forward.
Regarding Jiang Fenghao's actions of spoiling his daughter-in-law to the sky, and even serving his daughter-in-law in person, the palace guards who followed behind them were all immune, and they all looked surprised. However, the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the street who got up early to buy vegetables were all red-eyed with envy, and they selfishly took out their men or future objects to compare with Jiang Fenghao, only to find that there was no way to compare, so they could only stomp their feet and complain that they were born at the wrong time, not as good as He Xiaoqiao, and could enjoy all the favor of Jiang Fenghao.
