Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

When Sha Zhu heard this, he thought it was true.

Didn’t their family start living a good life only after Cai Quanwu came?

In the past, their life was not much better than that of the Jia family.

Thinking about what Cai Quanwu told him, he still feels a little scared.

If Cai Quanwu had not appeared, he dared not imagine what the future would be like.

Since their family can have a good relative, why can't others have a good relative?

That doesn't make sense.

There are many powerful people in this city.

It's not surprising that a relative of the Jia family became rich.

"Uncle, you are right."

After thinking all this through, Sha Zhu uttered these words.

Just as Sha Zhu finished speaking, Xiao Wu, Guan Jiaqi and He Yushui walked in from outside.

Xiao Wu was very curious. After hearing what Sha Zhu said, he asked in confusion before he even had time to sit down:

"What makes sense?"

When Sha Zhu heard Xiao Wu ask him, he smiled and replied:

"nothing."

"We are talking about the Jia family."

"Uncle said that the person who invited the Jia family to eat roast duck might be a relative of the Jia family. I think what uncle said makes sense."

"Oh." When Xiao Wu heard that they were talking about this, he immediately lost interest.

She married from outside and was not as curious about the affairs of the Jia family as the people in the courtyard.

Afterwards, Xiao Wu, Guan Jiaqi and others walked to the table and sat down.

After sitting down, everyone chatted and laughed.

After chatting for a while, Cai Quanwu remembered that people usually make rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival.

He was from the south before he traveled through time, and rice dumplings are made in many places.

However, he remembered that when he was a child, not many people in their village made rice dumplings, but every family knew how to cook salted duck eggs.

Later, in the video era, many young people learned how to wrap it online.

As for how the Dragon Boat Festival was celebrated in the old city, he didn't have many memories from his previous life.

In my previous life, I was always alone. During the New Year and other festivals, I would buy some wine and food and go home to have a few drinks to fool around.

But he did remember making rice dumplings because he had seen them for sale.

Thinking of this question, Cai Quanwu asked Sha Zhu:

"Zhu Zi, shall we make rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Sha Zhu didn't expect Cai Quanwu to talk about making rice dumplings. He was stunned for a moment before saying:

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

"It doesn't matter to me. If you don't want to pack it, we can buy some. I remember they should be selling it." Cai Quanwu didn't care about this. He just asked casually out of curiosity after thinking about it.

“Yes, they are for sale.”

"But, uncle, if you want to eat it, I'll go buy some yellow rice tomorrow and we can make some ourselves."

Sha Zhu thought Cai Quanwu wanted to eat zongzi, so he said with a smile.

Making zongzi is not a difficult task, it is just a little troublesome.

Not only do you have to go to the suburbs to pick reed leaves, you also have to bring back some horseweed to tie the rice dumplings.

"Buy yellow rice to make zongzi? Zhuzi, isn't glutinous rice used to make zongzi?" Cai Quanwu asked in confusion when he heard Sha Zhu say that he was going to buy yellow rice to make zongzi.

He had no memory of whether his predecessor had eaten it or not. He had never eaten yellow rice dumplings, only egg yolk dumplings.

"Uncle, glutinous rice is definitely hard to buy in Sijiu City at this time. Most people make yellow rice dumplings instead."

"You have to buy the glutinous rice in advance to make the rice dumplings."

"If you really want to eat them, those grocery stores should sell glutinous rice dumplings."

After Sha Zhu's explanation, Cai Quanwu finally understood that he had taken it for granted.

He thought that glutinous rice was used to make rice dumplings.

It seems that there are still great differences between different places in this era.

He really didn't know whether glutinous rice was easy to buy or not, as he was in a grain store and didn't sell grain.

So he looked at Xiao Wu. She was at the front desk and should know.

"Uncle, more people are buying glutinous rice during this period than usual, but we still have some in the store." When Xiao Wu saw Cai Quanwu looking at him, he knew what he meant and explained the situation.

After hearing what Xiao Wu said, Cai Quanwu knew what was going on.

Two people in their family work in the grain store, so they would not be troubled by such a small matter.

Say hello to Director Ma. I can't say how much, but there will be no problem getting about ten kilograms of one kind.

And they don’t even have to use their food grain certificates.

"Okay, Zhuzi, you don't have to worry about buying rice. I'll buy it from the grain store later."

"Uncle, buy some of both kinds of rice. Let's make some of both and see which tastes better."

"By the way, let's pack more and take some to Xiaoqing's house and my mother-in-law's place."

Cai Quanwu thought that since he was going to make them, he might as well make some of both, and he also took Xiao Wu's family and his mother-in-law into consideration.

"okay."

"Uncle, I won't make breakfast tomorrow morning. I have to go outside the city to cut some horseweed and dry it before making rice dumplings."

When Sha Zhu heard Cai Quanwu say that he wanted to make more rice dumplings, he thought about preparing them in advance.

"Okay, then buy some breakfast when you come back tomorrow." Cai Quanwu nodded in agreement.

"Brother Zhuzi, wake me up tomorrow morning and I'll go too." When Xiao Wu heard Sha Zhu say that he was going to cut horseweed early in the morning, he wanted to join in the fun.

"Okay, wife." When Sha Zhu heard Xiao Wu say that she wanted to go with him, he looked at her and agreed with a smile.

He wished Xiao Wu would be with him, as it was a bit boring to be alone.

When Xiao Wu heard Sha Zhu agree, he was very happy and encouraged He Yushui to join them.

If Guan Jiaqi hadn't left early for work, she would probably have wanted to call Guan Jiaqi too.

"By the way, uncle, what kind of filling should we make?"

"Sweet or salty?"

The rice problem was solved, and Sha Zhu thought of this problem again.

When Cai Quanwu heard Sha Zhu's question, he couldn't help but think of the controversy over sweet and salty tofu pudding in later generations.

Some people like to eat salty food, while others like to eat sweet food.

"All wrapped."

"If you want sweet food, eat sweet, and if you want salty food, eat salty food."

Cai Quanwu thought that since he had packed everything, he might as well pack some of both.

"Got it, uncle. I'll go to the grocery store to buy some dates after get off work tomorrow."

"For salty ones, we use bacon. We still have a lot of bacon at home."

Cai Quanwu made no decision, so Sha Zhu immediately made arrangements.

"That's it."

"It's getting late. We have to get up early tomorrow. Let's go wash up and go to bed early."

After the matter was settled, Cai Quanwu saw that it was almost time and thought about going home to rest.

……

The next morning, Cai Quanwu was still sleeping in bed when He Yushui woke him up:

"Uncle, get up and eat."

"Okay, stop shaking." Cai Quanwu opened his eyes and said to He Yushui who was standing at the edge of the pit and shaking his arm.

"Uncle, we have come back from outside the city, and you are still sleeping." He Yushui pouted and said with contempt in her tone.

"You deserve it. Who told you to stay awake and join in the fun?" Cai Quanwu scolded with a smile when he heard that the little girl actually despised him.

"It was my sister-in-law who insisted that I go."

He Yushui thought about how Xiao Wu ran to wake her up just after dawn. Thinking back on it now, there was a hint of resentment in her tone.

"Haha, who can you blame for this? It was you who agreed last night." Cai Quanwu said gloatingly.

When Xiao Wu urged him last night, He Yushui immediately agreed.

I was very happy at that time.

If you complain again now, you can only say that it is your own fault.

"My sister-in-law lied to me and said it was fun, so I agreed."

“Who knows it’s not fun at all.”

He Yushui didn't think she was wrong and directly put the blame on Xiao Wu. She felt cheated.
