I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food
Chapter 40: Sweet and Meat Zongzi Contest
Su Jinyue loves sweets. At this moment, she is eating rice dumplings dipped in sugar. Her almond-shaped eyes are slightly narrowed, revealing the same satisfied expression as Qi Ning.
"I think meat dumplings are still more delicious." After Shen Yanchen finished eating a sweet dumpling, he opened a meat dumpling and said after comparing them.
The rice dumpling was filled with pork belly, the best piece picked by Uncle Li for her, with alternating fat and lean meat, and three layers of belly.
After being marinated, the meat is fully flavored and the juice flows into the surrounding glutinous rice, with the aroma of rice accompanying the aroma of meat.
Xu Si also nodded, as if he had found a like-minded person, and gave him a look.
He felt a little regretful again, "It would taste better if salted egg yolk was added."
Xu Si also went to the market to ask, and they only sold whole duck eggs, and no one specifically sold salted egg yolks.
The price was very expensive and not cost-effective, so she didn't buy any, thinking that she would try to pickle some herself after a while.
Lou Yuexin and her friends are all from the north and have been eating sweet rice dumplings since childhood, so their first choice was the rice dumplings tied with white strings.
After hearing the recommendations from Shen Yanchen and Xu Si, they all started to try the rice dumplings out of curiosity.
Su Jinyue said that she was not used to eating this, and Lou Yuexin also found it a little strange. However, Shen Jingchuan and Shen Anyi found it unexpectedly delicious, and Qi Ning and Qing Huan both loved it.
Everyone was discussing which type of zongzi was the most delicious, but no one could convince anyone else.
As expected, the debate over sweet and salty has never stopped since ancient times. Now there are differences between sweet and meat dumplings. I'll try to make sweet and salty tofu pudding one day.
Thinking of that scene, she was looking forward to watching the fun.
Seeing Qi Ning was hesitating about which type of zongzi to eat, Xu Si hurriedly stopped him, "Don't eat any more. Zongzi are hard to digest. Two are enough. If you want to eat more, you can eat it at the next meal, okay?"
Qi Ning felt his stomach and found that it was indeed a little bloated. He reluctantly turned his eyes away from the rice dumplings.
"Sister-in-law, please rub Qi Ning's stomach more to promote digestion." Xu Si said.
"Okay," Su Jinyue nodded. She seemed a little full and felt like she couldn't eat lunch.
Eight people ate 8 in total, but the dumplings were not particularly big, and two of them barely filled the palm of one hand.
Xu Si packed the remaining rice dumplings separately, 20 for Grandpa Qian's family, 10 for Uncle Li's family, 8 for Aunt Zhao's family because there were fewer people, and 10 for Uncle Yang's family, taking half for each family and stringing them together with a straw rope.
There was originally a full pot of rice dumplings, but in the end, there were only about 30 left.
Qi Ning felt sad as he watched the number of dumplings in the pot decrease. He felt relieved when he touched his full stomach.
"Then mom will go to see Aunt Zhao's family off, dad will go to see Uncle Yang's family off, and I'll go to see Grandpa Qian and Uncle Li's family off."
It's still early now, and Xu Si estimates that it will be around noon by the time he returns.
"Second Aunt, can I go with you?" Qi Ning asked in a low voice.
He kind of wanted to see his good friend safe and sound. Of course, Grandpa Qian and the others missed him terribly as well.
"Qi Ning, be good. Second aunt needs to carry something. Can I take you out next time?" Su Jinyue took a look at the heavy rice dumplings, squatted down and advised softly.
Qi Ning was a little depressed, but still nodded obediently.
Xu Si lifted the two piles of zongzi and shook them. The weight was not too heavy for her, so she said, "I can take Qi Ning with me, don't worry."
She has always been reliable in her work, so seeing this, others didn't say anything more.
"Thank you, second aunt," Qi Ning cheered softly, then thought of something and said, "Wait a moment," and ran back to the house like the wind, and came out again after a while.
"I'm fine," he touched the bulge in his arms, his eyes curved like a crescent moon.
Xu Si didn't ask any more questions. It was just a little secret between the two children.
"Let's go." Xu Si held Qi Ning's hand with one hand and easily lifted the zongzi with the other.
There is already a festive atmosphere outside, and the air is filled with the strong fragrance of mugwort.
"Second aunt, whose house should we go to first?" Qi Ning walked happily.
"Let's go to Grandpa Qian's house first, so that you can stay with Ping An longer." Xu Si said after thinking for a while.
Qi Ning was naturally overjoyed.
There were still people coming and going on the dock, workers were working under the scorching sun, the dragon boats were already moored and ready, and someone was inspecting them.
Although it is called a dragon boat, it is just a long boat with a simple dragon head carved on the bow.
I heard from the crowd that these boats are only taken out during the Dragon Boat Festival every year. After the festival, the government will collect them and keep them.
Xu Si took Qi Ning and stood there for a while before entering Mr. Qian's pancake shop.
It felt much cooler as soon as we entered. The old couple were chatting and laughing with the yamen runner Qian. When they heard someone coming, the three of them looked over together.
"It's A Si and Qining, come and sit down." Grandma Qian stood up and greeted them, then picked Qining up.
Xu Si bowed in turn and the three nodded in response.
"Look at Qining, you are sweating all over. Let Grandma Zeng wipe it for you." Grandma Qian took out a handkerchief from her bosom lovingly and gently pressed it on Qining's face.
Qi Ning also closed his eyes and quietly let Grandma Qian do what she wanted. He said in a soft voice, "Thank you, Grandma Qian Zeng."
"A Si, why are you here?" Grandpa Qian said with a smile.
Xu Si picked up the rice dumplings in his hand and said, "Isn't it the Dragon Boat Festival? My family made some rice dumplings for you two elders and Uncle Qian to try."
"Oh, then I'll accept it without hesitation. I'm sure the rice dumplings made by Ah Si are also very delicious." Grandpa Qian praised after taking it.
Then he asked, "Why haven't you come to set up the stall recently? Without the food you cook, I haven't enjoyed my meals these days."
One meat dish, two vegetable dishes and rice are just enough to fill you up. They are delicious and fresh.
Not only can the taste not be as good as what they cook at home, but they are also too lazy to cook several dishes, so the old couple just make one dish and eat it.
"Everyone was frightened by the previous incident, so this is a good opportunity to take a break and start again after the holiday." Xu Si explained.
"Well, I'll be waiting."
Yardman Qian watched Xu Si and his father having a pleasant conversation, and both old men had smiles on their faces.
I also felt a little guilty that I didn't spend enough time with my parents.
He and Xu Si had only met once, but the other party remembered to bring him some rice dumplings, and he also understood what he meant.
It doesn't matter whether the other party is trying to get close to him or not, he doesn't care. For the sake of his parents, he will help if he can.
"The sentences for those people have been handed down, so you can relax." said Qian, the yamen runner.
"We have already found out. The county magistrate is really wise. It is also thanks to you, Uncle Qian, who arrived in time that day and exposed their conspiracy." Xu Si flattered him subtly.
Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.
Sure enough, Qian Yayi's smile got even bigger. He thought for a moment and told Xu Si his home address. "If you have any problems in the future, you can come find me here."
