farmer's wife

Chapter 49
Fu Yan glanced at the prepared materials, and estimated that each material could make about forty zongzi.

"Let's wrap it all up. If there are more, we can send them to the master, the village head's house, and Cui Fu's sister-in-law's house."

Master alone must be too lazy to do these things.

As for Cui Fu's sister-in-law's family, whenever they went to the butcher's shop to cut their meat, they would always give them more and treated them very affectionately.

Fu Yan: "Do you have anything else you want to send?"

Xiao Lie thought for a while, then shook his head.They were also quiet and cold in previous years. They were busy with their livelihood and only got close to the village head's family. Most of the other villagers were nodding acquaintances.

Sun Shichun's family was still close after Fu Yan came, because she and Cui Fu's sister-in-law often walked around after asking them to kill a pig last time, so they got closer.

Fu Yan: "Then let's decide on these three first."

The three of them worked together and finished wrapping all the zongzi until the evening.

According to the statistics, there are 48 candied date dumplings, 52 peanut dumplings, and 45 fresh meat dumplings.

Fu Yan allocated three portions from the rice dumplings, five of each of the three fillings were for the master; six of each were to be sent to Cui Fu's sister-in-law's house; ten of each were for the village chief's family, who had the most.

Fu Yan put away the zongzi that he was going to give to Master first, and pointed it to Xiao Lie: "When you go up the mountain tomorrow, remember to take it to Master."

Xiao Lie hesitated: "Will it be too much? Master is alone, and the village head's family and other people may also give it away."

"Not too many, just five of each kind. The rice dumplings made by our family are not particularly big. They can be left for a few days to eat slowly."

"Then I'll bring it up tomorrow."

"Well, I'll just send the other two."

It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and Fu Yan thought of the dragon boat races in the canals in the north of the city in previous festivals. She also went to see the fun with the Zhao family, so she couldn't help asking Xiao Lie: "Ah Lie, there will be dragon boat races in the city on the Dragon Boat Festival. Let’s go and watch the fun that day too.”

This time, she wanted to get closer to the river and enjoy it, instead of waiting in the private room in the high-rise building and only being able to cast a few glances from the window from a distance.

Seeing that she was interested, Xiao Lie certainly did not refuse.

And the daughter-in-law has been busy with embroidery recently, so it's time to take a break.

Fu Yan planned excitedly: "Let's go to the city after lunch, and get a clear place to stay early. Let's call Master together, and we'll have dinner in the city before coming back."

Xiao Lie was helpless: "Master, I can't guarantee that I can persuade him. You know, he doesn't like to go out."

Fu Yan: "Ask first! If Master really doesn't want to go out, then you can invite him to our house for lunch. I'll make a big meal. It's a festival after all."

Xiao Lie: "Okay, listen to you!"

The next day, Xiao Lie went up the mountain with rice dumplings, bows and arrows.

It was not what he expected.

Sun Changming refused to go out with them.

"Just go and play on your own. There were quite a lot of people that day, you should pay attention to Ah Jian, and don't let the kidnapper take advantage of it."

"Master, if you really don't want to go with us, then come to my house for lunch. Ah Yan said that she will have a big meal."

Sun Changming nodded, and he also recognized Fu Yan's good craftsmanship.

Looking down at the basket full of zongzi that his apprentice handed over, he was a little puzzled: "Why did you bring so many zongzi? Brother Chang Geng also sent me a few in the morning. I'll just taste it, there are too many. "

"Save it and eat slowly. My bag is not big, and I can finish one in two bites."

Xiao Lie: "Ah Yan wrapped candied dates, peanuts and meat this year, the meat dumpling is really amazing! You can eat it first, there are still delicious ones at home."

Here Xiao Lie was secretly showing off his wife's skills, and the father and father simply cooked a few rice dumplings while eating and chatting.

On the other end, Fu Yan sent it to the village chief's house before going to Cui Fu.

Sun Shichun and his sons had a stall, and Cui Fu was busy at home alone today, but he didn't expect Fu Yan to give them zongzi.With this heart, she will be very happy.

"My family made it too. How can I still accept yours? Take it back!" Cui Fu rejected Fu Yan's basket while filling it with homemade eight-treasure bean dumplings and salted egg yolk dumplings.

Fu Yan stopped Cui Fu with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't want mine, why do you ask me to take it back. How about it, our family should exchange tastes."

Cui Fu looked at the current situation, put down his hands and smiled.

The two sat down and chatted for a while, Cui Fu still wanted to keep Fu Yan at home for dinner.

Fu Yan declined, saying only that Ah Jian was still waiting.

After sending Fu Yan away, Cui Fu continued to tidy up the house and thaw grass to feed the pigs.When it was dark, it suddenly dawned on me that dinner hadn't been made yet.

The three men in the family couldn't bear to be hungry after a busy day. When she arrived home in a hurry, the three of them had already taken rice dumplings and cooked them.

The eldest son, Sun Qili, ate meat dumplings, and he made it for two bites. He even said it was delicious!He picked another one from the plate and continued to eat.

The youngest son, Sun Qizhuang, ate candied dates, which were also delicious.But smelling the aroma of meat and seeing his brother was satisfied, he couldn't help but leaned over and took a big bite.

He took a sip, and couldn't help staring, so the meat dumpling tastes like this!Fat and thin, strong and oily, fragrant!

Sun Qili saw that most of the zongzi was bitten off at once, and pushed away his brother's big mouth that was still about to bite in disgust: "Can't I peel a new one?"

Sun Qizhuang immediately ate what was in his hand, and then reached out to pick from the plate.

Seeing her mother came back, Sun Qili raised the meat dumpling in his hand: "Mother, who sent this, it's so delicious. Let's make meat dumplings this year too."

"Xiao Lie's wife brought it. Is it really that delicious?"

Sun Qizhuang was busy eating, and only nodded in agreement.

Sun Qili: "Mom, is there anything else?"

"Just that basket, someone kindly gave some, how can I come to ask for it after eating it?!"

Hearing what Cui Fu said, the members of the Sun family immediately slowed down and savored carefully.

Good things are gone after you eat them.

The Sun family couldn't bear to eat, but the Xiao family couldn't care less about the delicious zongzi.

Xiao Jian is now fully focused on the plates of dim sum brought out by her sister-in-law from the oven.

All of them are unheard of and unseen, but all of them are exquisite and delicious.

Soaked in the aroma of this milk every day, he felt like a little mouse that fell into a rice vat, what a fairy day it was!

Fu Yan was trying to make pastries one by one, preparing to take them to Li Ting in Buzhuang when she went to the city on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Li Niangzi is also a well-informed person, and she must have seen a lot of good things.

The pastries made by Fu Yan are better than the heart and novelty.

On the other hand, she also wanted to give Li Ting a taste first, using this as a springboard to recommend and sell pastries to Mr. Wang who is looking for novel birthday gifts all over the city.

The Wang family can be regarded as an aristocratic family in this locality. It has been in business for many generations and has a wide network of contacts.If you can take this opportunity to publicize the reputation of opening pastries, you will not have to worry about the source of customers when you open a shop in the future.

Fu Yan is confident that as long as she tastes her pastries, repeat customers will not be a problem.

Embroidery and cakes are two things that Fu Yan is busy with.
