Red apricots make spring

Chapter 76
Rourou said that she wanted to cook fresh food, but it was not new to her, it was just the zongzi that she would eat every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, but here it was the Midsummer Festival, and she was particular about eating cold cakes, so she came up on a whim. I wanted to make some zongzi for everyone to try.

When shopping, she had already bought a lot of reed leaves, and soaked a lot of glutinous rice before going home, because she didn’t go to the stall that night, she went to bed early, and woke up before dawn the next day, busy washing fresh Meat, peeled pine nuts, soaked rice dumplings, when Xiaohuan yawned and came out with a basin to wash her face, she had almost prepared the materials needed to make zongzi.

"Sister, what are you doing?" While brushing her teeth, Xiaohuan stared at her cleaning the leaves.

"Wrap zongzi." Ruo Rou said, and went into the house to ask Mother Wen for a lot of five-color thread, brought out a small bench, sat in the yard and started wrapping zongzi slowly.

She wraps it so delicately that she can finish a rice dumpling in two or three bites, but the fillings are various, salty and sweet.There are red bean paste, candied fruit, pine nuts, fresh meat, egg yolk, ham, and even mint flavors, which are just right for summer.

Xiaohuan saw that she had wrapped the rice dumplings interestingly, so after washing up, she also rushed over to learn, and told her gently and patiently which color of thread was used to bind the rice dumplings with which filling, and told her to wrap them tightly, otherwise Once it is boiled in the pot, it will fall apart and cannot be eaten.

After a while, Mother Wen went out to buy vegetables with a bamboo basket in her arms. Seeing that the heads of the two people were all together, they were busy chatting non-stop, and couldn't help shaking their heads and smiling bitterly.Every family of children likes to make these interesting and useless things, just like yesterday, the four of them came back from shopping and bought so many cold cakes, how much did they cost!Really can't live!
"Shopping for vegetables?" Seeing Mother Wen go out, Ye Yu, who had been turning over the mud with a hoe in the yard, found two more bamboo baskets in the kitchen, and followed them.

Mother Wen walked out the door, stepped back a few steps, looked at the loose soil in the yard, and asked curiously, "What are you messing around with?"

"I'm going to build a shelf and plant some grapes." Ye Yu replied casually, "There are still some fragrant flowers in the corner, which will be comfortable to smell when enjoying the cool in the summer night."

"It's good to build a grape trellis, and you can eat grapes then, but what's the use of the fragrant flowers? You can't eat or drink them, so it's better to plant some onions and garlic, which will save you money on vegetables." Mama Wen puts practicality first.

Ye Yu smiled slightly, and stopped talking, just snatched the bamboo basket from Mama Wen's hand, and carried it out the door, while Mama Wen followed behind him, constantly babbling that the children would not know how to live.

Seeing them go out, Rourou and Xiaohuan raised their eyes and smiled at each other, they put their hands together and put the first batch of wrapped rice dumplings into the pot to cook.After all this was done, he packed up the cold cakes that he hadn’t eaten last night for breakfast, called out Wen Gang who was studying in the house, and sent him to eat and go to school, while the two continued to sit there Making zongzi while chatting.

When Mama Wen and Ye Yu came back with three big baskets of vegetables, the whole courtyard was filled with the fragrance of reed leaves, and Mama Wen couldn't help but sniffled and said, "What's the smell? It smells weird."

Knowing that she likes to eat sweet and rotten food, Rou Rou quickly picked up a freshly cooked bean paste dumpling, peeled it open for her to taste, and handed Ye Yu a ham dumpling, while herself and Xiaohuan picked up pine nut dumpling. eat.

"How does it taste?" Gentle asked them.

"It's very fragrant!" Xiaohuan said and peeled another egg yolk dumpling.

"It's just too small, it's not enough to eat, it's better to wrap it bigger!" Mother Wen swallowed a rice dumpling in two mouthfuls, feeling a little unsatisfied.

Ye Yu stood there with half a zongzi he had bitten open, thinking, until Ruan asked him what he was thinking, and he said, "We sell stewed vegetables and duck blood vermicelli soup, and some customers who eat big intestines always complain that they can't eat it." I'm full, I think this rice dumpling wrapped in glutinous rice can satisfy hunger, if it's not too troublesome to make, you can bring some to sell."

Rou Rou lowered her head and stared at the zongzi in her hand, blinked, blinked again, and finally nodded and said: "That's a good idea. The sweet zongzi can be eaten cold, and it doesn't take much trouble even if you want to heat it up. It's just that we are already too busy. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to wrap the zongzi."

Hearing that there was money to be made, Mother Wen immediately came over and volunteered: "I'll wrap it! Teach me to wrap it! I'll wrap rice dumplings for us when I'm free, and I'll let you take them to sell later."

"Mother!" Rourou said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You have enough things to do right now, you have to find time to even do some needlework, and then let you go to wrap rice dumplings, wouldn't you have no rest all day long? You can earn less money , the body can’t be exhausted, I don’t agree with this.”

"Hire a buddy." Ye Yu finished eating the zongzi in his hand, threw away the Ruo Ye and clapped his hands, "Your zongzi is so small that ordinary people have to eat five or six to barely fill their stomachs. Those with big intestines are afraid." If you have to eat a dozen or so, even if there is a penny profit per zongzi, if you sell [-] zongzi a day, you can earn enough money to hire a clerk." Then he asked again: "You and Xiaohuan, why don't you pay for a while?" How many zongzi were wrapped?"

"A hundred or so." Xiaohuan said with a smile, "I'm born with hands, so it's slow to wrap. I can wrap one, and my sister can wrap four or five."

"Yeah." Ye Yu nodded and said, "If a guy is hired and the wrapping is done, he might be able to wrap a hundred or so zongzi in the morning. Let's take fifty to sell at night stalls, and the rest will be sold. Ask him to take it to an outside restaurant to sell in the afternoon, and it is estimated that it will be sold out, and he will be free when he comes back, and he can also help the family with some work."

Well, if you sell a hundred zongzi a day, you'll earn three shillings in a month, and after deducting the money for hiring a buddy, you'll still get two slacks.Unexpectedly, Ye Yu was quite talented in business. Looking at him tenderly, he couldn't help but blurt out, "What did your family do in the past?"

When Ye Yu was asked, his expression darkened immediately.

"I'm sorry, if you don't want to mention it, just pretend that I didn't ask." It must have touched his heart, and Wen Rou quickly apologized.

"It's nothing." Ye Yu said with a wry smile, "my father used to be in business, and I learned a lot from it. It was just a flood that ruined my family..."

"Then your family members..." Xiaohuan suddenly felt that Ye Yu's background was more pitiful than hers. She still had a mother alive, and although she was not around, she still had hope.

Ye Yu nodded, lowered his head and said calmly: "They're all dead! My mother and younger sister died of the plague after the disaster, and my father led me to escape, but..." At this point, he gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists , his face suddenly darkened.

On the way to escape, he and his father encountered what Wenrou had encountered before, and were robbed by those who were also victims of the disaster!Grab a penny left!His father had to take him all the way to beg, but if he got some food, he was reluctant to eat it, so he gave it all to him, but he was pampered and not very sensible. And the remnants that were collected were all eaten, and it was not until his father was starved to death that he suddenly understood the truth that would make him feel guilty and painful for the rest of his life——

Dad is because of him!In order to feed him and keep him alive, he starved to death!
