I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

When Xu Si woke up, Shen Yanchen had disappeared.

"It's strange. Achen hasn't gone out for a long time, and he went out again early this morning. I'm a little uncomfortable with it." Lou Yuexin sighed.

"He was always wandering around before, and maybe he couldn't help but go back to his old ways." Shen Anyi comforted her. There was no danger in the town, so he was not worried.

Xu Si was watering the vegetable garden. Hearing this, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything. Maybe he was mad at her and ran away?

But she was also telling the truth.

Don't worry about him, let him do whatever he wants. If he is really mad at her and runs away, it can only be said that he is not mature enough.

Sometimes when she saw how Mr. and Mrs. Shen, and her brother and sister-in-law got along, she felt envious.

But she couldn't imagine herself and Shen Yanchen like this, it always felt weird, and she was somewhat repulsed by that kind of intimate relationship.

What's more, it's hard to say whether you like someone or not. Some people like someone because they are good-looking, while others like someone because of their personality.

What's worse, some people fall in love with someone just because they have never seen someone as dark as the other person and are curious, for such weird reasons.

Anyway, for her, making money can make her feel more at ease at the moment, so men should be put aside for the time being.

"Today is already the third day of May. Time flies." Lou Yue calculated the time in her heart. Her busy life made her a little confused about what day it was.

"Isn't the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon? It's time to make rice dumplings." Xu Si suddenly thought.

"A Si, do you know how to make rice dumplings?"

"I know a little," Xu Si said modestly.

I learned the skill of making rice dumplings with my mother, but unfortunately I can’t make them with her this year.

She cheered herself up a bit, "I'll go buy some materials and make more. I'll give some to Mr. Qian and Uncle Li later."

"Your Aunt Zhao and Uncle Yang also need to send a few." Lou Yuexin added.

These are the only people who have good relations with them here.

Shen Yanchen was sulking the whole day and refused to say a word to Xu Si. After dinner, he left his back to everyone.

After dinner, Xu Si started to make rice dumplings, while Lou Yuexin and Su Jinyue followed and learned from him.

The leaves she bought were fresh, green and clean, unlike those in later generations which were soaked in chemicals.

Use scissors to cut off the tip of the rice dumpling leaf and trim the split leaf tip.

The three of them washed both sides of the rice dumplings leaves with water, then added some salt to the boiling water and boiled them.

"Why do we have to cook it in advance? The leaves can't be eaten. Can't we cook it directly after wrapping it?" Su Jinyue asked curiously.

"Of course you can, but if you cook them in advance, the leaves will become softer and won't break easily when you wrap them." Xu Si explained with a smile.

After cooking, soak the rice dumplings leaves in cold water first.

The glutinous rice has been washed and soaked since morning.

"Look, first choose a wide bamboo leaf with the smooth side facing you.

Then fold it into a small funnel shape, remember that the glutinous rice must not exceed the edge of the leaf.

Then fold it again, wrap it tightly, and tie it with thread, and the zongzi is ready."

Xu Si demonstrated and explained, and Lou Yuexin and the others followed suit.

After trying several times, I finally got the hang of it.

"You guys make the sweet dumplings. Use the red dates and red beans prepared here as fillings. I'll make the meat dumplings."

Take out half of the soaked glutinous rice, add salt and soy sauce, and mix well.

Cut the pork belly into small pieces, add seasonings, and marinate in advance.

Xu Si wrapped the dumplings very quickly. By the time the sweet dumplings were done, her meat dumplings were also finished.

Several people counted them and found that 6 kilograms of glutinous rice were used to wrap nearly 100 dumplings, with about the same number of sweet and salty ones.

Put it in water and start cooking.

"Second Aunt, when can we eat?" Qi Ning was looking forward to it.

"You can't eat it today. You can only eat it tomorrow morning."

It takes about 3 hours to cook the rice dumplings, and then it’s time to go to bed. Continue to simmer overnight, so that they will be softer and more glutinous.

Smelling the fragrance of the rice dumplings in the air, Qi Ning sniffed and said, "I really hope it will be tomorrow soon."

Looking at his greedy look, everyone else was so curious.

With the hope of eating zongzi, Qi Ning went to bed early so that he could eat them when he woke up.

"Hey, are you still going to sleep on the floor? Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Seeing Shen Yanchen moving the quilt without saying a word, Xu Si felt a rare pain in his conscience and couldn't help but persuade him.

Shen Yanchen suppressed the desire to curl up the corners of his mouth and said in a cold tone, "None of your business."

Humph, he knew that she still liked him.

After this night, he thought it through clearly. Xu Si was different from other women. She had a sharp tongue and what she said was not necessarily what she really meant.

But he couldn't encourage her arrogance and had to let her know that he also needed to be coaxed.

After she coaxed him a few more times, he would reluctantly agree to her request.

"Well, as long as you're happy, if you feel uncomfortable you can come up and sleep by yourself."

Xu Si felt that he was being ignored and was too lazy to say anything more.

Just blow out the candle and lie down on the bed.

Shen Yanchen froze in the dark, feeling very aggrieved.

He just wanted her to coax him a few more times, why was it so difficult?

He wanted to sleep on the floor, but was afraid that the relationship had reached an irreversible point. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly climbed onto the bed, not forgetting to take off his coat in advance.

When Xu Si woke up and went to the kitchen, Qi Ning was already sitting on a small stool by the fire.

His chin was supported by his little hands, and his eyes were fixed on the lid of the pot.

"Second aunt," upon hearing someone coming in, Qi Ning turned around and saw that it was Xu Si, and immediately stood up to greet her.

Su Jinyue chuckled, "He woke up early in the morning and was waiting here. We didn't know if he was okay, so we didn't dare to open it easily."

"Why didn't you come and call me?" Xu Si touched the lid of the pot and it was still warm.

"I'm not that anxious. Just wait a little longer."

As soon as the lid of the pot is opened, the rich aroma of rice dumplings spreads out.

The ones tied with white ropes are sweet dumplings, and the ones tied with red ropes are meat dumplings.

Xu Si picked up more than ten of them and put them in the bowl, then invited everyone to eat together.

"Hey, there is no seed in the red dates," Shen Anyi discovered while eating them that they were red dates. He originally slowed down and wanted to spit out the seed, but after chewing for a while, he found that there was no seed.

"Haha, I took out the core before wrapping it, for fear that it might hurt my teeth accidentally." Xu Si explained.

"I know. My aunt and I did it together." Qi Ning raised his hand and shouted. They poked it with chopsticks and the core came out. It was super easy.

"Mine is made of red beans and has a bean fragrance." Shen Jingchuan was a little happy.

He also took out a white line, but he didn't particularly like red dates, so he was expecting red beans, and red beans happened to come.

The red beans are slightly sweet and mixed in with the white glutinous rice. They look beautiful and delicious.

When Xu Si bought the red beans, he specifically selected large and plump ones, which were more expensive.
