Shangshi female official

Mo Xi also prepares a lot of fillings, in addition to bacon, jujube paste, sweet-scented osmanthus red beans, and salted egg yolk, the order of adding rice to each dumpling is different, sometimes red rice is the base, sometimes purple rice is the base, it’s very random .

After wrapping ten zongzi, she cut the rope for easy lifting.

The pointed-headed rice dumplings made by Moxi, and the four-cornered rice dumplings made by Juanzi, each of the four corners are triangular, round and full.

Wang Yifu also made pointed rice dumplings at first, but later she thought that she had to make a different one. She recalled the rice dumplings she had eaten before, and when she and her mother fled for their lives to the southwest, when they lived in the border area, people there made round rice dumplings. Tube rice dumpling.

She picked up two pieces of Ruo leaves, folded half of the leaves, nested a groove, and then put the five kinds of rice one by one, but the zongzi was too thin and long to hold large pieces of filling.

Wang Yifu immediately took some bacon and salted egg yolk and ran to the cutting board to chop up some of the two kinds of fillings, and then put a small amount of four kinds of fillings in one dumpling, each with a taste.

Tie the long and thin cylindrical rice dumplings with multicolored ropes, and cut them into strings in groups of ten, which is also pretty.

They made more than 200 rice dumplings that day, and Wang Yifu's hands were not as fast as the two of them, so the bags were naturally used to give away.

She carried one of her cylindrical rice dumplings to Shen Ci, another to Xu Xinyan, and wanted to give it to Yue Hong, but it was inconvenient to go out of the palace now, so she had to ask Du Jingmo to send it out. Of course, Du Jingmo was indispensable. Ten rice dumplings from Jingmo.

Wang Yifu was going to give a copy of her rice dumpling to Mother Chen, but when she stopped halfway, she ran back, returned to the dining room, and asked Mo Xi, "Sister Mo Xi, what kind of rice dumpling do you have?" Are they all meant to be given away?"

"Give it away? This is not enough for the ladies to choose and serve. How can I send more?"

Wang Yifu was surprised and said, "You spent so much time looking for colorful ropes to wrap so many rice dumplings, is it for them to eat?"

"Otherwise, why would I pack so much? Every year on the fifth day of May, an extra serving of zongzi is served to the masters. In previous years, when they ate it for lunch, they would always ask for another one, or a few more at night. Anyway, they couldn't eat enough. "

"Then why are you tied up in groups of ten?"

Mo Xi replied with a matter-of-fact expression: "It's easy to take. It's much better to take a bunch of bunches in the steamer than throwing a bunch of them in."

Wang Yifu didn't have any words to refute for a while, she wasted more time on diet, and dismissed the world's sophistication, which was more than Shen Ci, so she had no choice but to say: "Then the rice dumplings I made are not enough for others, you can share ten of them with me." .”

"You pack ten more yourself."

"I'll exchange ten of them with you. My round zongzi is also a novelty. Maybe I can get rewards from the masters."

"Hey, you silly girl started haggling with me. It stands to reason that I took all your zongzi, and you have nothing to say."

Wang Yifu immediately smiled flatteringly and said, "Sister Moxi is so ruthless, and exchanged ten. I will pack twenty more and exchange ten with you, is that okay?"

With an impatient look on her face, Mo Xi shook her hand and said, "Okay, okay, you take ten and go."

Wang Yifu carried ten zongzi, immediately smiled sweeter than honey, and said, "I'll come as soon as I go."

She carried ten zongzi and ran to Nanny Chen's room like flying. When Nanny Zhou saw her coming to deliver the zongzi, she asked her to wait until Nanny Chen discussed matters with Qiu Shangshi and the boarders.

Wang Yifu didn't wait long, and Nanny Chen came back. After entering the room, she asked for water, and said bluntly, "My mouth is dry from the noise."

Nanny Zhou said helplessly, "Why are you arguing again?"

"It's not about the Dragon Boat Festival. The emperor is going to Xiyuan to watch the dragon boats. The Shangshi Bureau has to prepare meals there. There is a small kitchen in the Zhaohe Palace, and there are dessert rooms and the kitchen of Shangshan's outer prison nearby. It can be used, but if you have to break ground and build a few stoves, not to mention only using it once, you have to dismantle it after moving it, and if it rains at the Dragon Boat Festival, it will be useless."

"Don't get angry, don't be angry with yourself."

"I've been thinking about how to use sticks to make money all day long. I really don't know who they learned from?"

Nanny Chen entered the room, drank tea, said something, turned around and found that there was another person in the room, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wang Yifu lifted the zongzi in her hand and said, "Dragon Boat Festival is coming, I'll bring you zongzi to eat."

Nanny Chen squeezed her big green bag in her hand, took another sip of water and said, "The bag is tight and looks good. It seems that you have made great progress following that Mo Xi."

"You still have sharp eyes. How could my bag look so good? I exchanged twenty zongzi for her ten, specially for you."

Nanny Chen is like the Buddha, who can see at a glance how many hairs there are on the brain of a thousand-year-old monkey.

"It's not as simple as delivering zongzi for you to come here personally, right?"

"Mommy, these rice dumplings are really delicious."

"Delicious? Ting Lan, it's all steamed at noon, let's eat two, and share the rest with the little maid."

Nanny Zhou smiled and said yes, and was about to go out when Wang Yifu hurriedly stopped her and said, "How can I distribute it to the little palace lady... These zongzi are hard to make, sister Mo Xi has been making them for two days... ..."

"Tell me, what kind of idea are you playing?"

Nanny Chen sat on her chair and asked the reason frankly, Wang Yifu then smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me to wait for the opportunity? Isn't the Dragon Boat Festival a good opportunity, such a beautiful rice dumpling, you can try it, The taste is also delicious, if it can be brought to someone's table during the Dragon Boat Festival, it will be a good fortune..."

"That's how many?"

"You think it's too little, I'll bring some more."

"Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor brought the Empress Empress, Li Niangniang, Du Niangniang, and a few other empresses. You can't eat more rice dumplings. The four are just for viewing. What's the matter... it will cost about two hundred."

Wang Yifu's face almost twitched, and she said awkwardly, "Two hundred? It takes so much..."

"This is rare. If the emperor wants to reward someone in the Ministry of Rites in a moment of interest, can't you say that you don't have any?"

"Mommy, think of a way. Mo Xi makes these rice dumplings by herself, and also makes them for the maids to eat. She can't make so many without panting."

"Which empress do you want me to serve alone?"

"I want the nobles to know that there is such a person as Mo Xi in Shangshi Bureau."

Nanny Chen sighed again, the Dragon Boat Festival was a big deal, and there was one more thing involved here, but if you can take advantage of this opportunity to change the people in Shangshi Bureau, it would be a good thing.

She held the arm of the chair, tapped the wood lightly with her index finger, and thought about it carefully, "You bring fifty more."

Wang Yifu knew in her heart that she couldn't make any more excuses, and immediately responded respectfully: "Yes!"

"Also, I found another person to serve the meal, and you will take turns with that maid in the future. Your skills cannot be wasted because of the meal."

"understood."
