The next morning, Zhou Jinyu sent her niece to school as usual before going to the company.

Passing by the vegetable market, I suddenly found that many small stalls started selling rice dumpling leaves.

Zhou Jinyu slapped his head: I almost forgot that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon!

No, no, the ingredients for making rice dumplings need to be prepared first!

At the company, her colleague Xiao Jia asked her when she would make rice dumplings.

Zhou Jinyu turned on the computer and said, "I went back to buy pork belly at noon. I almost forgot about the Dragon Boat Festival. If I hadn't seen the rice dumpling leaves in the vegetable market, I wouldn't have remembered it."

"What kind of rice dumplings are you planning to make?"

"There are two kinds, one is gray water zongzi, and the other is a big meat zongzi!" Zhou Jinyu couldn't help but drool when thinking about the meat zongzi with salted egg yolk.

I finally made it to the end of the day after get off work and headed straight to the vegetable market.

Two pounds of fresh pork belly, 10 yuan for chestnuts, 2 pounds of peeled green beans, 5 yuan for dried mushrooms, and the salted duck eggs had already been bought.

When I got home, I cut the pork belly, marinated it and put it in the refrigerator. I washed the chestnuts and mung beans, and soaked the dried mushrooms in water.

Then peel the salted duck eggs one by one and set them aside.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Zhou Jinyu called his sister.

"Sister, do you want to make rice dumplings?"

"Of course, I'll come to your place and pack it."

"Okay, I have prepared all the ingredients. I will go back to my hometown to pick some zongzi leaves later."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jinyu rode his electric scooter towards his hometown.

The people under the canopy screamed.

"Dragon Boat Festival! Did you see that? People in later generations still celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival!!"

"What's the big fuss? The people in the future are our descendants. How could they forget such an important festival?"

Although the Dragon Boat Festival had not yet arrived in ancient times, this did not prevent them from joining in the fun.

Merchants shrewdly smelled this business opportunity, and rice dumplings, rice dumpling leaves, mugwort leaves, calamus, peach leaves, etc. suddenly flooded the streets and alleys.

The owner of a restaurant also prepared the same ingredients as Zhou Jinyu, intending to make zongzi with her.

Many people had this plan, and the price of rice dumplings leaves soared sharply for a while.

Zhao Xiaoya didn’t need to buy zong leaves, as they were everywhere in her village. What she was worried about was glutinous rice, which was so expensive…

Miss Chu Yun in the painted boat took a bath, changed her clothes, and made rice dumplings with her maid.

I always feel that at this time, she is the same person as Miss Zhou.

Emperor Shizong of Qin Dynasty slowly instructed Li Si to have people prepare the ingredients and work together with Tianmu to make rice dumplings in the evening.

Li Si accepted the order.

Meng Yi was full of doubt: Making zongzi? Your Majesty wants to make zongzi?

Is it possible for Your Majesty to make rice dumplings?

Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang looked at the pork belly prepared by Zhou Jinyu and opened his mouth with difficulty: "Why put meat in it? Aren't all zongzi sweet?"

How could there be such an unappetizing heresy as rice dumplings?

Lü Zhi calmly instructed the palace servants to prepare the ingredients for making zongzi, and replied casually: "Your Majesty, you can just eat sweet ones. I want to try Miss Zhou's meat zongzi."

Liu Bang's eyes widened in shock: "E'ou! You actually want to eat meat dumplings?"

"What's wrong?"

"Zongzi is sweet! How can there be salty ones?!" Liu Bang was a little anxious: "Who... who would eat salty Zongzi?"

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains is very big. Besides, Miss Zhou is from Lingnan, and she may like to eat salty rice dumplings."

Liu Bang still found it hard to imagine salty rice dumplings, so he turned to his ministers and asked, "Do you prefer sweet or salty rice dumplings?"

Zhang Liang replied: "I prefer sweet food."

Liu Bang just smiled, and Xiao He said: "I want to taste this salty rice dumpling."

“……”Liu Bang was speechless: How can you have such a hobby!

Han Xin said slowly: "I like salty rice dumplings."

Liu Bang: “…”

Suddenly I feel like this world is messed up! How can anyone like salty zongzi?

Compared to Liu Bang's twisted attitude, Liu Che accepted it well: "Salty zongzi? I want to try what it tastes like!" He asked Wei Qing in a good mood: "Zhongqing, do you prefer sweet or salty?"

"Your Majesty, I prefer sweet food." Wei Qing replied.

"You can also try the salty one. People in later generations will like it, so it must be delicious." Liu Che suggested enthusiastically.

“…No need, Your Majesty.”

"Yes, yes." Liu Che enthusiastically ordered the palace servants to cook the rice dumplings and give Wei Qing 20 each of the salty and sweet kinds to take home to eat.

"..."

Three Kingdoms period.

Everyone was busy making rice dumplings together in a rare and relaxing moment.

Liu Bei fell silent as he looked at the pork belly prepared by Zhuge Liang. After a while, he asked, "Why did Kong Ming prepare meat? We always only eat sweet rice dumplings."

Zhuge Liang said without even looking up: "My lord, you can try the salty rice dumplings."

“……”The problem is, my lord, I don’t want to try it.

Liu Bei turned around to look for an ally, but when he saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei staring at the glistening meat, he suddenly fell silent.

Cao Cao didn't have such worries, he simply ordered that only sweet rice dumplings could be made.

Xun Yu wanted to say something but finally shut up. In fact, he really wanted to try the salty rice dumplings.

Cao Pi wanted to do it too, but he didn't dare to disobey his father. He could only secretly think of asking his servants to make a salty rice dumpling for him to taste after he returned.

Sun Quan laughed out loud. He thought he was the only one who liked to eat salty rice dumplings!

The Jin and Sui dynasties all shook their heads: How could there be salty zongzi? How could we eat them?

Instead, Yuan Zhen quietly instructed the palace servants to make a salty rice dumpling using Miss Zhou's ingredients.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin complained to Empress Changsun with a bit of toothache: "Who puts meat in zongzi? Sweet zongzi is the most delicious!"

Empress Changsun glanced at him and smiled gently, "Perhaps the people in Lingnan like salty food."

Li Chengqian was fine, but Li Tai couldn't sit still. He wanted to eat zongzi! The same zongzi with meat as Miss Zhou's!

The ministers in the court discussed in a relaxed tone what flavor of rice dumplings to eat.

Most people prefer sweet food, but a few want to try the taste of salty rice dumplings.

Song.

In this rare relaxed atmosphere, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the Shangshi Bureau to make meat dumplings in the same style as the sky curtain.

He also ordered someone to invite Empress Dowager Du to eat together.

But the palace servant replied: Empress Dowager Du is now sincerely worshipping Buddha and does not eat meat.

Zhao Kuangyin remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

Finally it turned into a sigh.

Yuan Dynasty.

Kublai Khan was not interested in Han Chinese festivals, but when he thought that the common people would definitely celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, he felt a little powerless for a moment.

He couldn't stop it, and he couldn't stop it.

If the Dragon Boat Festival is not allowed to be celebrated, the Han people will rise up in rebellion in a moment.

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked all his sons to watch the making of rice dumplings under the sky.

While wrapping, she said to Zhu Biao, "Biao'er, do you like sweet or salty?"

"Your Majesty, I like salty food," Zhu Biao replied.

"What about you?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di.

"I like sweet food!" Zhu Di answered loudly with his chest puffed out.

Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi was not in the mood to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

Qianlong was still smashing things, and the ministers were silent.

Instead, the common people celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival with Tianmu as if it were the New Year.
