Lin Lan and Yao Xiuyun put the grilled sausages, mushrooms, and pork ribs; Small intestine...... Put it on a plate, the steamed dumplings are sandwiched out, the bamboo cups are filled with juice, and the two small square tables are full.

Several children ran back from the river barefoot, and Yao Xiuyun hurriedly drove them to the river, washed their feet and put on shoes and socks.

The children all fell in love with the grilled sausages and thought they were better than the sausages.

After the children ate and drank, they followed Xu Dong to the river to learn to cast nets and fish, Lao Li and Lin Changyou took out chess and sat at the small square table, killing the sky in the dark.

Lin Lan's three women took pictures everywhere with their cameras, and they didn't go home until dusk.

Before they got home, the children were making an appointment to come out to play next time.

The next day, Lin Lan asked someone to build several pools in the open space under the backyard wall to prepare for the Duanyang Festival.

Another week passed in the blink of an eye, Duan Hongjun and Li Bing helped transport the goods and materials back to Dongshi, and also brought back Li Xiangyang's letter to Lin Lan.

Li Xiangyang told her that he missed her very much, and said that he would try his best to come back in time for the Duanyang Festival to accompany her back to her parents' house to send the Duanyang Festival gift.

As long as Lin Lan goes out safely, he and Lao Li took He Li and a few people to count the goods and put them into the warehouse, and then distribute them to Xiaoxue and Ren Jing on the shelves.

On the second day of the fifth lunar month, Lin Landing's zongzi leaves were delivered to the Chengnan pastry shop, and the green zongzi leaves were piled up in the backyard like a hill.

Lin Yuezhen has a big belly, and she can't squat down to wash the dumpling leaves, so she can only watch the store sell things. After Lin Lan and the three of them finished making the cakes, they sat in front of the big wooden basin and washed the dumpling leaves.

In the afternoon, Lin Lan closed the shop, drove Lin Yuezhen home to rest, and got busy with Qiaohui and Tong Xinglan.

As soon as I sat down, someone knocked on the door outside.

Tong Xinglan looked at Lin Lan happily: "Cousin, it must be my aunt and sister-in-law who are here." ”

Lin Lan glared at her: "Don't go and open the door yet!" ”

Tong Xinglan ran out with a smile, and after a while, she pulled Wu Shufen, Zhang Xiuqing and Zhao Xiaohui back to the backyard, and looked at Lin Lan proudly: "Look, I know it's my aunt and cousin." ”

"This girl wants you to help." Lin Lan also happily pulled Zhang Xiuqing and Wu Shufen: "I'm still going to let Xinglan ride to the restaurant to tell you later, I'm going to make zongzi today!" ”

Wu Shufen looked at her with disgust: "You said it that day, I remember it!" We don't need you to call us. ”

Zhao Xiaohui said with a smile: "Yes, Mom also greeted Dad, and asked your second brother to come back from the stall and come to help." ”

Lin Lan said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you!" ”

Zhang Xiuqing looked at Lin Lan with a smile: "Thank you, you and Xiang Yang bought the clothes and shoes for Xiaojun, and we didn't thank you either!" ”

Zhao Xiaohui smiled and nodded: "That's it, you are not tired of the family!" ”

Wu Shufen thought that Li Xiangyang hadn't come back yet, and the new son-in-law was going to his mother-in-law's house to celebrate the Duanyang Festival in the first year: "Xiaolan, there are still two days to celebrate the Duanyang Festival, Xiangyang really can't come back?" ”

Lin Lan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure if he can rush back, the letter he asked Master Duan to bring back last time said to rush back as much as possible, and he may already be rushing back." ”

Wu Shufen said: "It's okay if you can't come back, as long as you are safe and sound." ”

Six people were divided into two teams, three people brushed the dumpling leaves, and three people bent down to rinse in front of the water pipe.

Wu Shufen said heartbrokenly: "The tap water is flowing, it costs a lot of money!" I think tomorrow we will move the dumpling leaves back to Lexing to wash. Brush and clean the ditch, and go back to the well water to wash it. ”

Zhang Xiuqing also felt that this was too water-consuming: "That is, Xiaolan should also dig a well here." ”

Lin Lan said with a smile: "The water bill is not expensive, but it is too annoying to stop the water every once in a while, and I have to go to the third sister's house to fetch water every time, and I want to invite someone to dig a pressurized water well one day." ”

She thought about installing a water pump on the water pipe, so that she didn't have to struggle to press the water when the water was turned off and plugged in.

Zhao Xiaohui echoed: "Yes, it's better to be more convenient for yourself." ”

Several people were busy, and the Lin Guoliang brothers and Shi Song also came, and the backyard became crowded.

Shi Song and his wife helped Lin Guoliang and them for half a month, Lin Guozhu found them a place to set up a stall in the alley where the armed forces came out.

Still selling fried potatoes and grilled skewers, the two of them went out for a week, and when they were less, they could earn more than a dozen yuan a day, and more than twenty or thirty yuan a day.

The couple was so happy that they invited Lin Lan and them to dinner at home on Sunday, and they were ready to send their two children to Lexing Primary School to study.

Lin Lan divided the people into four teams, Lin Guoliang three helped clean the dumpling leaves, several women made meat dumplings in one team, eight treasure dumplings and salted egg yolk dumplings in one team, and one team wrapped candied dates and bean paste dumplings.

Li Xiaofeng looked at the dumpling leaves piled up into a hill, and said worriedly: "Cousin, can you sell out so many zongzi?" ”

Lin Lan said with a smile: "This year's volume is a bit large, and it should be no problem to sell it in the shop." ”

Zhao Xiaohui smiled and pointed to the various fillings in the basin: "Cousin-in-law, Xiaolan's zongzi has so many patterns, I can't get tired of eating it at once with different tastes." ”

Li Xiaofeng looked around and said with a smile: "The city is different from the mountains, there are few rice fields in the mountains, and the brigade only grows a small amount of glutinous grain every year, and each family can get two or three catties of glutinous rice at most." ”

"During the Duanyang Festival, we mixed more than half of the red rice into the glutinous rice to wrap zongzi, some breaded two chestnuts in it, and some wrapped two dates, which tasted good."

Qiaohui nodded: "Every year, I have to cut the red weeds for half a day, and I usually eat the nausea of the red weed, and I can eat two after wrapping them into zongzi." ”

Lin Lan hadn't eaten the dumplings wrapped in red glutinous rice, and said with a smile: "How do you make red rice dumplings?" Tomorrow I will buy dozens of catties of red lotus and come back, and I will pack some red lotus dumplings and sell them. ”

Qiaohui: "Cousin, it's very simple, peel and shred the red lettuce, chop it and mix it with glutinous rice and wrap it in zongzi leaves. ”

Zhao Xiaohui: "Xiaolan, you can wrap some salted egg yolk or salted meat in it, the taste is guaranteed to be good." ”

Lin Lan, "Well, I'll buy it tomorrow and try it." ”

At this time, Yang Zhigang came in with a basket: "Sister-in-law, the salted duck eggs are here." ”

"Okay, put it here." Lin Lan pointed to the front of the operating table, "Zhigang, you go back and tell my dad that I will sleep in the pastry shop tonight, please take care of Xiaodouzi." ”

Yang Zhigang nodded: "Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll send you another one tomorrow morning." ”

Lin Lan sent him outside, closed the door and returned to the operating table, separated the yolk and egg white of the salted duck egg, placed the egg yolk separated from the egg white in the baking tray, sprayed some liquor to remove the smell, and then put the egg yolk in the oven for a few minutes, and the golden salted egg yolk was baked.

Give the salted egg yolk to the group that wraps the egg yolk dumplings and continue to bake the egg yolk.

An hour later, Wu Shufen saw that the wrapped zongzi had filled the wooden basin and the basket bucket, and said to Lin Lan: "You can cook it, and you have to cook it for two hours without turning off the fire." ”
