Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 87 Selling Zongzi for Dragon Boat Festival (2)
"Shopkeeper Liu, what do you call this fruit?" Now Du Yuchen became interested.

"Miss Cheng said, this is Yangmei." Shopkeeper Liu respected the young owner in front of him from the bottom of his heart. At a young age, he has already read poetry and books, is full of knowledge, and is full of talents. The design of Yuelai Restaurant in Daqing is all derived from the young owner in front of him.

"Miss Cheng? That little flower girl who sells bamboo shoots in Chengjiakeng?" Du Yuchen had a playful smile on his lips.

"Yes, this is bought by Miss Cheng. She said that there is no other name besides this one. I tried the small one and it was really delicious."

"Shuqi, go and clean some." Du Yuchen ordered lightly.

"Yes, sir."

After half an hour.

"It's really good. Shopkeeper Liu did a good job this time." Du Yuchen thought he had never seen or tasted anything.But this red bayberry was really good, which surprised him a little.But thinking about that eccentric and interesting girl, there is nothing to say.It's just that the more she is like this, the more he wants to find out what kind of person she is.

"Thank you young master for your praise. Ms. Cheng said that this can only be stored for a long time in the ice cellar, otherwise it may be spoiled. In addition, soak it in salt water for a while before eating. It is not suitable to eat too much of this. It will get angry and your teeth will be sore." Shopkeeper Liu Inform the precautions one by one.

"Master, the cousin of the Wanhu Hou family in the capital is here."

"Shopkeeper Liu, go down and tell Miss Cheng that I like this red bayberry very much. Qingzhou City welcomes her." Du Yuchen looked at the bowl of red bayberry on the desk and said with a faint smile.

"Cousin, I'm here." The person who came was wearing a purple gold crown with hair inlaid on his head, dressed in fine ice blue silk, blue satin white bottom boots like crown jade, red lips and white teeth.A handsome boy who is eleven or twelve years old.

"Zixuan is here? It just so happens that I have something for you." Du Yuchen looked at his cousin, sweeping away the indifference in front of everyone.

This young man is the backer of the Du family in the capital, the son of Wan Huhou, and You Zixuan who is loved by thousands of people.

"Oh, what is it?" You Zixuan traveled slowly all the way from Kyoto to Qingzhou City. Although it took about [-] days, the scenery along the way is very beautiful, and it is worth it, not to mention the Dragon Boat Festival. .Just take advantage of this time to see if there is anything he wants.

"Secret it first, you'll know after a while." Looking at Du Yuchen's mysterious appearance, You Zixuan was even more curious.

In the evening, "Mom, how do we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival here?" Xiao Hua was very curious about how the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated here.

"How else can you live? Just hang wormwood, calamus, and drink some realgar wine. Otherwise, what else do you want to live?" At this time, Jing Niang was watering the sweet potatoes planted in the yard, and the sweet potatoes were a little wilted during the day. , and it has not been watered for many days.

"Don't you make zongzi?" Could it be that ancient people didn't eat zongzi?
"What kind of rice dumplings do you eat? Only rich people can eat it. The glutinous rice costs more than [-] yuan a catty. How can you afford it? We ordinary people come here like this."

"But the zongzi is delicious, mother, haven't you ever made or eaten it?".

"Then what is there to eat, it's not easy to digest after eating." Jing Niang shook her head.

"Mom, what kind of stuffing are the zongzi you've seen?" The little flower was a little curious.

"Then there is stuffing? Isn't it just glutinous rice?" Jing Niang was very curious.

"Okay then, mother, tell me who grows glutinous rice in our village." Xiaohua decided, and there are still 4 days before the Dragon Boat Festival. Just use reed leaves or bamboo leaves to make zongzi. There is meat at home, but summer The meat dumpling was afraid that it would be broken, so I went directly to the village to see if there was anything to buy.

"Your Aunt Wang and the village chief's cousin have varieties of these, but they are usually sold. Why do you ask this?" Jing Niang raised her head from the sweet potato garden and asked.

"Mom, I'm going to make zongzi and sell them in the town. I'll go ask Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang." Said and ran away.

Jing Niang shook her head, and continued to pour water, thinking to herself, "This girl has got into the eyes of money, and she doesn't care about money."

"Is Aunt Wang at home?" Xiaohua was the first to ask Aunt Wang's house.

"Here, Xiaohua, come in quickly, it's hot outside." Xiaocao beckoned to Xiaohua in the room.

"Come on, drink some water to relieve the heat." Xiaohua's best friend hurriedly handed over a bowl of water.

"Auntie, I want to ask how much glutinous rice you have at home. I want to make zongzi and sell them in the town. I have to go to the village chief's cousin's house to see if there is any. How about we divide it among the three families? If not, what do you think?" If it’s not good, I’ll just give you the money at the price of glutinous rice in the market, okay?” Xiaohua asked straight to the point, now that she’s all about making money, she can’t even care about losing her upper teeth, so don’t talk, it will affect your image ah.

"Well, Xiaohua, I trust you, but there is not much glutinous rice left in my family, only about [-] catties." Of course, Xiaocao Niang believed in Xiaohua.

"That's no problem, it's just auntie, do you have red beans, mung beans, etc.? By the way, there are caramels. Don't worry, I will buy this caramel and return it to you after I go to town." Xiaohua thought that the key to making bean paste is Sugar, it seems that I will buy more in the future and keep it at home for later use.

"I have beans at home. There are a lot of them. No one eats them after planting them, so I keep them all the time. Caramel was just brought back from Huangcun. What do you ask for?"

"This is a secret for the time being. I'll go to my cousin's house first. Auntie. You can send the things to my house later. I'll tell you how to do it. Let's make it together tomorrow and send it to the town for sale the day after tomorrow." Then he ran out again.

"Is the village chief's cousin at home?" It was a hot day, and everyone was cooking dinner at the moment, and there were people in twos and threes under the banyan tree.

"Here, come in." It was still the village head's daughter-in-law who opened the door.

The living room of the village chief's house.

"Cousin, Aunt Wang and I are planning to make zongzi and sell them in the town. I heard that you have glutinous rice and I want to buy it with you. Of course, it would be best for the three of us to cooperate and share the money we earn. What do you think?"

"That's no problem, then the three of us will work together, and if you need anything, just say it." Cheng Wenqiang has seen Xiaohua's ability to make money, and if he wants to cooperate, he must agree.

"Cousin, how much glutinous rice do you have at home, do you have red beans, mung beans, etc., and caramel?" Xiaohua wanted to ask if there were any salted duck eggs, but after thinking about it, eggs are precious things in this era. People are reluctant to eat it, and the candied dates are the same.

"There is not much glutinous rice left. It weighs more than 20 catties. I don't have those beans at home. When I planted them in the early years, no one ate them. In the end, they were all fed to pigs. There is caramel, but I don't know how much you want." Xiaohua heard that it was about [-] catties, so it was almost enough.
