Wangfu small peasant girl

Chapter 1181

Xu Ruyue watched Qingming polish the wooden sword, and asked Xiaorou to prepare some and almost sent them, "Sir, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, I want to make some rice dumplings, can I send some to the capital?"

Festivals like this are for reunion, and it is better for the whole family to spend together. Xu Ruyue feels that Mingming's parents are far away in the capital, so she must miss them too. The two sons are not here, so lonely.

Minglang smiled, "It's up to you, just give it away, nothing will happen, but... my father should leave Beijing, I don't know if he can make it in time for the zongzi you sent."

Xu Ruyue frowned, "When?"

"Based on the news I received yesterday, I guess it will be soon." Ming Lang put down the wooden sword and touched her face, "What does this expression mean? Is it because I want to leave?"

Xu Ruyue glared at him, why isn't it serious at this time?
She backed off, "Then I'll make zongzi tomorrow. I didn't take care of it last year, so I'll pack more this year. On such a day, people who are familiar with each other can relax and try something new."

Just do what you say, Xu Ruyue asked someone to go to the town early the next morning to buy some glutinous rice, red beans, red dates, rice dumplings and so on. Soon it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, and these things can be easily bought in the town.

She was at home preparing the ingredients. If she wanted to talk about zongzi, she had to talk about the dispute between salty and sweet zongzi in her previous life.

But she is from Sichuan, so of course she still eats salty rice dumplings, bacon rice dumplings, and sausage rice dumplings. Just thinking about the taste makes her mouth water.

Xu Ruyue plans to make four flavors of rice dumplings, one with bacon, one with sausage, and one with fresh meat. The simplest is the original rice dumpling with a red date in it. This one can be eaten sweet.

After buying the glutinous rice, it started to dry. Xu Ruyue went to the kitchen to make the stuffing with Xiaoying.

The glutinous rice you bought should be soaked first, then drained, then add salt, pepper noodles, red beans, pour some clear oil on it, mix the stuffing evenly and put it in a large basin.

The bacon and sausages have already been cut, and they need to be cut into peanut-sized particles. You can't put much in a rice dumpling, and a large bowl is enough.

It is very simple to prepare these things, but the really complicated thing is to make the zongzi. With so much rice, I guess it will take an afternoon of work.

At noon, Mrs. Song and Xu Pingqiu came back from Xiufang. Seeing that they were making zongzi at home, Mrs. Song said, "Just go and watch this afternoon. I will stay at home and make zongzi with everyone. It will be faster if there are more people."

Xu Pingqiu nodded, "Okay, I'll go by myself, and I can pack it for a while before leaving. Sister Yue, what's in this stuffing, why does it look oily?"

Xu Ruyue smiled, "Looking oily, of course it's oil, only a little bit."

At this time people eat very simple food, not so many tricks, the dumplings are just glutinous rice plus a red date, so there is no need to add other things, there are not so many tricks.

Xu Pingqiu smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen zongzi filled with oil, but it looks delicious."

After lunch, everyone made zongzi together in the yard outside the kitchen. Xu Ruyue was very good at seasoning the zongzi, but it was a bit difficult for her to make the zongzi. How did she do it?

Forget it, can't she learn if she can't bag?

Sausage, bacon and fresh meat zongzi are made in the same way as ordinary zongzi. Ordinary zongzi is filled with a red date first, and then glutinous rice is added. For meat-wrapped zongzi, you only need to add a few grains of bacon, sausage and other ingredients. Then put glutinous rice on it.

The glutinous rice used for simple plain rice dumplings does not have so much seasoning, the most original taste, but this kind of bag is relatively small, Xu Ruyue still prefers meat rice dumplings.

There are tens of catties of rice dumplings, and it took a whole afternoon to wrap them up. There are a lot of them in the yard, and they are tied with threads of different colors, so that the taste can be distinguished.

Xu Ruyue stood up and stretched, "I'm so exhausted."

Song was amused, "Are you still tired? It's just that you pack less."

Xu Ruyue said unconvinced, "Mom, why am I not wrapping less? I keep wrapping."

"I've been wrapping it all the time, but I can't stand the slow speed, or else I can take it out and count it. Anyway, your bag is so ugly, you can see it right away."

Xu Ruyue was furious, "Mother, you despise me."

Mrs. Song laughed, "Okay, okay, I don't dislike you, as long as your bag looks good, mother will choose your bag to eat from now on, okay?"

"Okay." Xu Ruyue chuckled.

Xiao Rou also said, "Slaves also eat from Madam."

"Slaves too." Jinxiu and Siyue also raised their hands.

Ruyu was also brought here to play by Hongling, seeing everyone raising their hands now, she also raised her hand, "Eat, eat."

Xu Ruyue couldn't help laughing, "Oh, are you all giving face like this? That's not going to happen. I only pack a little, how can everyone eat enough?"

Time waited for no one, the zongzi was wrapped, Xu Ruyue hurriedly asked Minglang to send it to the capital quickly, this is a zongzi with meat added, and the rice has been soaked, and now the weather is hot again, so it won't last long.

After a while, someone came to the house, took the zongzi away, got on a horse and left Yongning Village quickly.

Xu Ruyue stood at the door and looked around, "Master, he is running so fast, will he be able to reach the capital soon?"

Minglang nodded, "Hurry up and hurry, we will arrive tomorrow afternoon, don't worry."

"So fast?" Xu Ruyue was startled.

Minglang took her hand and went back, "This is your wish, how dare you waste it, of course you have to send it to the capital as soon as possible, what if it breaks?"

Xu Ruyue sighed, "Riding a horse is fast, much faster than a carriage. Our family also has a horse. When will you take me to ride a horse? I want to learn."

Ming Lang smiled, "Okay, go when you want to go."

After walking a few steps, Xu Ruyue suddenly stopped, looked at him and said, "Master, I want to go now, anyway, it's not dark yet, let's go horseback riding?"

"Okay." It has become a habit for Ming Lang to spoil her, no matter what his wife decides, he will not be surprised, he just needs to nod and agree.

He took Xu Ruyue to the stables to lead the horses. Tomorrow, Xu Pingwu and Xu Pingwu came out from nowhere, "Brother, are you going to ride a horse? I want to go too. Pingwu said he has never ridden a horse, so take us there, okay?" ?”

Minglang took a look at tomorrow, and rejected the request mercilessly, "I'll take my wife to ride a horse, what are you going to do with me? Children, go back to the house and do your homework."

Tomorrow pouted, "Hmph, you just don't want people to disturb you, talk so much."

"You know how much more you talk?" Ming Lang glanced at his younger brother.
