The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 575 Dragon Boat Festival ([-])

On the second day, there was an extra plate of zongzi on the breakfast table in the main courtyard.

Su Zechen stepped into the dining room and saw the plate of rice dumplings on the dining table at a glance. He rushed over with a "wow", stretched out his hand to pick up a rice dumpling and dangled it in front of his eyes, but he didn't do anything. After a while, he turned to Su Yunduo and asked suspiciously. Said: "Sister, why is this zongzi different from the zongzi we ate in Geshan Village?"

"What's the difference?" Su Yunduo knew the difference, but he still asked knowingly.

Su Zexuan, who followed Su Zechen and led Su Zerui into the restaurant, looked at the zongzi Su Zechen was carrying, and naturally saw the difference at a glance, but his calm temperament just raised his eyebrows and did not speak. Instead, he turned around and picked up Su Zerui and put him in the Su Yunduo specially asked someone to make a child seat.

Su Zechen knew in his heart that Su Yunduo was testing his powers of observation, so he was stunned for a moment, put down the zongzi in his hand, and said, "Although I don't remember whether our family has made zongzi before, but I remember that Wei Auntie and Shenquan were the last year and the year before. The zongzi sent by the villa are all this big, um...by the way, they are four-cornered zongzi. Today, the zongzi only has three corners, and it’s only this small!"

Su Zechen's repeated comparisons and pictures made Su Chengzhi and his wife who had just stepped into the restaurant a little sad, and Su Chengzhi was even more ashamed and ashamed.

Speaking of which, this was not only Su Yunduo's first time making zongzi in this world, but also the first time their family made zongzi by themselves.

When they were in Geshan Village, the old Su’s family could not afford glutinous rice because they were too poor to buy glutinous rice. They did not make rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. Most of the time, they only hung calamus and mugwort leaves picked from the field on the front door, which did not cost much. That is, sprinkle some realgar wine on the four corners of the house to remove five poisons.

Of course, every Dragon Boat Festival, the Ning family would secretly use the five-color silk threads that they usually hid to weave a hundred ropes for their children, but they did not dare to tie them on their arms, and only let them hide in their arms.

Su Yunduo has a vague memory in his mind, which is what happened at the Dragon Boat Festival when Su Zechen was three years old.

Because Su Zeliang kept showing off the Baisuo on his arm to Su Zechen, the young and ignorant Su Zechen forgot Ning Shi’s instructions and took out the Baisuo hidden in his arms. Naturally, it is far more beautiful than the Baisuo on Su Zeliang's arm, so Ning's bottom was directly missed, and Ning's was punished severely by Yang.

If Su Chengzhi hadn't just come back with gifts from the town school and the students in the school, Ning wouldn't know how he would be bullied by Yang!
After being kicked out by the old Su's family, although the family's situation gradually improved, due to various reasons, during the two Dragon Boat Festivals in Geshan Village, although the Su family ate zongzi, they still didn't make their own zongzi.

During the Dragon Boat Festival the year before last, when the construction of the hot spring resort was at its busiest, no one thought of the Dragon Boat Festival until Wei and his two daughters-in-law brought them rice dumplings. It's too late.

During the Dragon Boat Festival last year, I was busy preparing to go to Beijing, so naturally I didn’t worry about making zongzi. There was no shortage of zongzi at home on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. Aunt Wei and Shenquan Villa both sent zongzi, but I didn’t make them myself. It's a pity anyway.

Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching this year, Su Yunduo went to Yangjiaji again. Su Zechen thought that he would not be able to eat the zongzi made by Su Yunduo this year, so he was greedy and anxious. He had heard Su Yunduo mention a few times before that if he made zongzi by himself It will be so and so, so I don't blame Su Zechen for being so anxious when he saw Su Yunduo come back yesterday.

It's just that the zongzi in front of them are so small and exquisite, are they really filled with the stuffing that Su Yunduo said last night?

Not to mention that Su Zechen didn't believe it, even the cooks in the kitchen wouldn't believe it if they hadn't watched Su Yunduo make zongzi with their own eyes.

The zongzi I have made and eaten before are all big pillow zongzi. Even a strong man with a big appetite will be full after eating one. Women, children and the elderly with small appetites, let alone one and a half, even four people will eat one. too much.

Su Yunduo thought twice and decided to make some small zongzi. Of course, the small zongzi can also be made into pillow zongzi. She did ask the cooks to make some small pillow zongzi, but she was used to making big pillow zongzi, so she made small pillow zongzi. It doesn't seem so proficient.

Su Yunduo learned how to make triangular zongzi from her grandmother and mother in her previous life. Thinking of the small and exquisite triangular zongzi, she no longer wanted to make pillow zongzi, so she quickly made a triangular zongzi. The cooks looked at Su Yunduo three times A triangular zongzi was wrapped in two strokes, and the small and exquisite little triangular zongzi suddenly became a new favorite, and everyone learned how to wrap it.

There were still a few skillful cooks among them, and they got started quickly. In the end, Su Yunduo only made a few smaller triangle-shaped rice dumplings for Su Zerui, and handed over the rest of the rice dumplings to the cook.

"The zongzi we ate before are so big, who do you think can finish one in our family?" Su Yunduo looked at Su Zechen who was even painting with a smile and asked back.

Su Zechen shook his head, and quickly said, "We can share the food like before!"

Su Yunduo just smiled and didn't say anything else, but Su Zexuan answered: "It's true that the big rice dumplings can be eaten separately, but they are so big, it will take at least one or two hours to cook them thoroughly. If you want to let you, a greedy cat, eat them right now. After eating zongzi, sister can still have time to sleep?"

Su Zechen thought about it, yes, the bigger the zongzi, the harder it is to cook through. Besides, he can eat two more of these small zongzi, and he can taste several more flavors!
So he became excited again, pointing to the zongzi on the plate and said: "Sister, is there really stuffing in it? What kind of stuffing are they? I don't want to eat white zongzi, but I want meat stuffing, so I want the spicy pickled vegetables." Meat Zongzi!"

Su Yunduo pointed to the zongzi on the plate: "Did you see the thread used to make the zongzi? The ones wrapped in black thread are salted vegetables and roasted meat zongzi, the ones wrapped in red thread are red bean zongzi, and the ones wrapped in white thread are stuffed with jam. Today There is only time to make these three kinds of fillings, and make them into such small ones, everyone can try each of them, and you won’t get bored.”

Each zongzi is not as big as a baby's fist, and after peeling off three or two bites, eat one of each flavor, except for the little one Su Zerui, everyone else should be fine.

"Sister, they are all delicious! But I still like this pickled meat stuffing better! It's a bit spicy but not too spicy, it's so delicious!" Su Zechen's action was the fastest, and Su Yunduo didn't have time to go to the special place for Su Zerui. He has already tasted all three flavors of the mini rice dumplings that he made, and his speed is unmatched. After tasting, he pointed to the rice dumplings wrapped in black thread and said.

Su Zerui, who was so anxious that Ning pressed her on the child's chair to wash her face and hands, screamed "Wow".
