The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 574 Dragon Boat Festival ([-])

It was almost dusk when I returned to Dongmingfang from Yangjiaji, and I happened to meet Su Chengzhi, father and son, who were coming back from school. As soon as Su Zechen saw Su Yunduo, he rushed over immediately, grabbed Su Yunduo, and shouted: "Sister!" , you finally know that you are back, if you don't come back, I will have to go to Yangjiaji to look for you."

Su Yunduo thought that something happened in the mansion, so he quickly looked at Su Chengzhi, Su Chengzhi gave Su Zechen a look, and then invited Lu Jinkang into the mansion, and said to Su Yunduo: "He is just greedy, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat when you come back late The zongzi you made!"

Su Yunduo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened in the mansion, everything else was nothing but rice dumplings. Before she went to Yangjiaji, she told Bai Zhi to prepare more rice dumpling leaves and clean them. Bai Zhi has been busy preparing for the dowry recently, so Bai Zhi's meticulous preparations have been done properly.

Casting an angry look at Su Zechen, Su Yunduo raised his leg and was about to enter the mansion, but happened to look back at Lu Jinkang who was in front of him.

It's so frightening, she actually saw the greediness in Lu Jinkang's eyes that was somewhat similar to Su Zechen's!

How can it be? !
When Su Yunduo looked over again, all he saw was the back of Lu Jinkang's head.

Well, I must have read it wrong, Lu Jinkang has never eaten anything good, how could he be greedy for zongzi? !
But regardless of whether Lu Jinkang's expression was real or her illusion, Su Yunduo knew that rice dumplings were indispensable.

Even as the cook in the mansion, Su Yunduo still had to fight in person.

There is not much difference between the zongzi in the capital and the zongzi in Yanshan Prefecture. They are basically white zongzi. After eating Su Yunduo's colorful zongzi, eating white zongzi will naturally be boring. No wonder Su Zechen is anxious.

When she came back, she had to go to He'anju to greet Mrs. Lu first. Su Yunduo was not as fast as Lu Jinkang, and had to answer various questions from her two younger brothers. When she arrived at He'anju, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Ning were smiling happily. Talk to Lu Jinkang.

Seeing Su Yunduo coming in, without waiting for her to bow her knees to salute, the old lady Lu had already waved at her: "Come and see if grandma is tanned! She is about to be a bride, so she can't tan anymore .”

After the old lady Lu confirmed that Su Yunduo was not tanned, she breathed a long sigh of relief and urged her to go back and wash up.

When Su Yunduo appeared in He Anju again, Lu Jinkang had already gone back to Zhen Guogong's mansion under the urging of Mrs. Lu.

The whole family had a reunion dinner and sat down in the banquet hall to talk. First, Su Yunduo briefly talked about what he had seen and heard during his trip to the Yang Family Collection and what he had solved. The topic was soon brought up by Su Zechen to the Dragon Boat Festival festival arrangement.

In addition to eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, there is also watching dragon boats.

This is very rare in Yanshan Mansion, which belongs to the Northland, so the old lady Lu, who has always been indifferent to this kind of festival, made arrangements early: "Every Dragon Boat Festival, there is a grand dragon boat race at Mozi Lake in Beicheng. At that time, the emperor and ladies in the palace will go to watch.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mozi Lake is crowded with people. If you go later, there is no place to stand, let alone watch any dragon boats.

However, we don't need to crowd around with others. The Zhen Guo Gong Mansion sent a post the day before yesterday, inviting us to watch the dragon boat race at the viewing platform built by the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion. "

"There is also a special viewing platform by the lake? Then why doesn't our mansion build one?" Su Zechen asked curiously.

Su Zexuan stretched out his hand and gave Su Zechen a headshot: "If every family builds a viewing platform by the lake, wouldn't it be a mess?!"

That's right, only the high-ranking officials and wealthy families who have won the eyes of saints like Zhen Guo Gongfu have such privileges!

After making a travel plan for the Dragon Boat Festival, the final topic fell on rituals and zongzi.

Those far away from the capital had already been sent out before Su Yunduo went to Yangjiaji, which is one of the important reasons why Su Yunduo was able to spare time to go to Yangjiaji with peace of mind.

For festivals in the capital and nearby, Su Yunduo needs to prepare some zongzi before sending them out.

Although Ning herself can make zongzi herself, she also learned some new tricks of zongzi from Su Yunduo last year, but she thinks that her level of stuffing can't reach Su Yunduo's level, and she has to rely on Su Yunduo for the zongzi in the end, so she looked at Su Yunduo. Yun Duo asked: "Duo Duo, what kind of rice dumplings are you going to make this year?"

"Red dates, eight treasures, red bean paste, egg yolk, pork belly, pork ribs..." Su Yunduo counted a few items with his fingers, and felt that something was missing. He pointed his finger on the table and couldn't help but ponder. After a while, his eyes lit up and said: "Yes. Yes, it seems that there are still some prunes and vegetables in stock, the pork belly is not included, let’s try the stuffing with prunes and vegetables and roasted pork, um, it’s better to bring some chili into it. It’s salty and spicy, it’s definitely delicious!”

Following Su Yunduo's words, there was only a "stab" sound of sucking saliva, and without looking at Su Yunduo, he knew that it must be the sound made by that foodie Su Zechen.

Sure enough, Su Zexuan only heard two "tsk tsk", and said with disgust: "Sister, look at how greedy my second brother is, his saliva is dripping out!"

Suddenly the whole room burst into laughter.

"Okay, I'll arrange the kitchen to soak glutinous rice. I'll get up early tomorrow and make some fillings for you, you greedy cat!" Su Yunduo returned his hand and lightly pinched Su Zechen's chubby little face and smiled.

"Sister, I want me too!" Su Zerui, who was sitting in Ning's arms, thought that Su Yunduo was only for Su Zechen to eat, and jumped up and down on Ning's lap anxiously.

Su Yunduo quickly stretched out his hand and hugged Su Zerui: "Even if my sister doesn't eat by herself, we can't miss our brother Rui. We have everything!"

After comforting Su Zerui, Su Yunduo looked at Ning Shi: "Mother, are the five poison sachets ready?"

Ning nodded again and again: "I have made a lot of pinellia these days, and I have packed the medicinal materials according to the prescription you left, and I have also made a lot of knots made of five-color ropes on the wrists, enough!"

"Sister, there is an old man in our house who can make dragon boat lanterns. My elder brother and I asked him to tie two and hang them in the yard. They are lit up at night, shining brightly and beautifully, and when a gust of wind blows, those lanterns will sway and move." It's like a dragon boat sailing on the water. It's very beautiful. Grandma said it was beautiful when she saw it. She already asked the old man to lead others to tie up a few more lanterns. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, we hung dragon boat lanterns in each yard. Beautiful and festive!" Speaking of the preparations for the Dragon Boat Festival, Su Zechen suddenly remembered the dragon boat lanterns, so he came to Su Yunduo and said while gesturing.

From this point of view, the preparations for the Dragon Boat Festival in the mansion were more thorough than she thought, and now all that was left was making zongzi.

Since it was decided that the younger brothers would eat rice dumplings with dried plums and vegetables and roasted pork tomorrow morning, the kitchen had to be prepared for this meeting, Su Yunduo specially wrote a list for the kitchen, and asked the cooks to prepare the ingredients according to the list.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the pork belly and ribs should get up early tomorrow to buy fresh ones, other things can be prepared first.

Su Yunduo thought while writing, remembering the noodle soda he ate in his previous life and the mint leaves he just brought back from Yangjiaji, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, maybe he could try one or two of them.
