Chapter 97 Making Zongzi for Dragon Boat Festival
When Yuan Chu thought of Xiao Jing's itinerary, he couldn't help but look at Xuan Yue, "Where is your father? Can he be here tomorrow?"
"They have returned to the capital ten days ago to communicate with the emperor. They left the capital and came here a few days ago. According to the speed they traveled in the past, they should be in the Suizhou area by now. If nothing happens, they will definitely arrive tomorrow. ." Xuan Yue replied.
A smile appeared on Yuan Chuyi's face and he told Yun Duo: "Soak the two hundred kilograms of glutinous rice that you have prepared. Tomorrow, ask all the ladies and aunts in the village who are free to come over and help pack it!"
She didn't buy these two hundred kilograms of rice, she redeemed them from the space while the people in her family were not paying attention. It’s hard to get even multigrain rice in the market now, let alone glutinous rice.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, the children in her belly seemed to understand. When she mentioned Xiao Jing, they began to stir in their stomachs. She stretched out her hand to caress them gently, and said softly with a smile, "Why do you get so excited when I hear about your father? Take it easy, mother, you can't help but kick her belly like this!"
The two children in her belly slowly subsided under her comfort.
"Madam, are the two of them both brats? So naughty!" Yun Duo asked with a smile as he looked at Yuan Chuyi.
Yuan Chu smiled, "Who knows!" He said, looking at Xuan Yue, "Tomorrow I will go to the city to find out which stable woman is good. We should get ready!"
The child is almost nine months old, and they are twins. She is worried that the child will be born early.
Early the next morning, the head of Xishan Village became busy. Now there are not many families in the village who have mulberry leaves to raise silkworms. The men have to go into the mountains to hunt together, and the women follow them up the mountains to find wild vegetables. Today, when they heard that help was needed on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, they all put down what they were doing and came to help. .
Wang Shuying also came over today to help make rice dumplings. She didn't expect to see Li Qiaozhen here. Although Li Qiaozhen still didn't want to pay attention to her, she felt happy when she saw Li Qiaozhen.
Zhang Xiujuan also came to help today, but as soon as Yuanchu saw her, he went over to chat with her without needing her help at all.
Wang Guifen had a lot of opinions about Yuan Chuyi before. She always felt that her reputation surpassed that of her village chief and stole the limelight from the village chief.
Fortunately, the village chief scolded her, saying that Yuan Chuyi was a princess, but she was still as approachable to the villagers as usual, and everything she did was done for the village. Having her here is a blessing for their Xishan Village.
And last time they came to celebrate the first day of Yuan Chu's new house, Yuan Chu Yi also brought five kilograms of rice to every household in the village as a return gift. This little bit of rice may not have mattered in the past, but in this situation of food shortage, five kilograms of rice is a life-saving food.
Wang Guifen finally let go of her prejudice against Yuan Chuyi when she saw her grandeur.
With everyone's efforts, the first pot of rice dumplings was cooked quickly. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the dozens of rice dumplings in the pot were put into eating boxes, and a basket of dried meat was put in, and Xuanfeng took Yuan Chu with him. Send the article written by Mo Chen to He Yutang.
He Yutang, who was worried about the drought, didn't remember that today was the Dragon Boat Festival. When he saw a box full of steaming rice dumplings, his eyes couldn't help but heat up. He didn't expect that the princess was still thinking about him.
"Madam is interested!"
"Madam said Mr. He has been working hard these days! But she still has something to trouble you with!" Xuanfeng handed over the article, "This is an article Madam used to examine the students of the Yuan family. She didn't know how well it was written. She wanted to Please help me review and correct one or two!"
He Yutang was surprised. He didn't expect that questions would be asked on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty to test the students of his Yuan family. He immediately took it and opened it to look at it. After seeing it, he nodded repeatedly and said "good" several times. Finally, he looked at Xuanfeng with surprise on his face, "The corn mentioned in this article is the one my wife took me to see in the field last time?"
"Exactly. The corn is almost ripe now. Madam said that if you are free tonight, you can take your family to Xishan Village to try the new corn and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival!"
He Yutang laughed, "Then I won't be polite. Please tell Madam for me that I will definitely bring my family with me tonight to bother Madam!"
"We are waiting for you, sir!" Xuanfeng bowed and excused himself to go back to the mountain village. He told Yuanchu Yi that Lord He decided to come and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival together.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, when he learned that Lord He was coming, he immediately went to the fields to pick dozens of waxy corns, peeled off the seeds, pounded them into pieces, then wrapped them in banana leaves and steamed them in a pot to make New rice glutinous rice cake, so Master He and his family can try it when they come.
A lot of rice dumplings were made, and when they came out of the pot, the aroma of new rice suddenly filled the air. Everyone who came to help make rice dumplings got one to try.
"Sweet, fragrant and tangy, I never thought this corn would be so delicious!"
"Yesterday I saw Shiliu grilling it and eating it. He gave me half of it to taste. It was delicious!"
"Our family has also grown some, and we will get some to eat when we go back!"
When Yuanchu saw their eagerness to try, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't try them this year, let them grow longer and harvest them for food. The situation will be better next year, everyone can eat as much as they like!"
People in the village don't grow much corn, only two or three acres at most. Now it's really a waste to let them all use it to make glutinous rice cakes. After hearing what she said, everyone had to give up the idea and make rice dumplings with peace of mind.
The ladies, aunts, and daughters-in-law who came to help were all very ingenious people. They had more than two hundred kilograms of glutinous rice, and after a whole morning's work, they wrapped it all into rice dumplings and cooked them.
Everyone looked at the hundreds of rice dumplings in several baskets, and Zhang Xiujuan asked curiously: "Sister Chuyi, are you making so many rice dumplings for disaster relief?"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he laughed and said, "What kind of disaster relief are you looking for? This is prepared for everyone. I will ask everyone to take ten of them back to each household!"
"Ah!" Zhang Xiujuan was very surprised. There are now nearly fifty households in the village. Each household has ten, which means five hundred. "Sister Chuyi, you are really a kind-hearted person!"
Yuan Chuyi squeaked, "It's just a few rice dumplings! The current situation is not good, I hope these ten rice dumplings can help everyone have a good holiday!"
"Sister Chuyi, thank you!" Zhang Xiujuan said gratefully.
"You're welcome! Go and help distribute the rice dumplings!"
The villagers did not expect that these rice dumplings were made for themselves. Everyone who received the rice dumplings thanked them profusely at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and then left happily. In this severe drought situation, every household in Xishan Village had a happy Dragon Boat Festival.
After everyone in the village took the rice dumplings and went back, Yuan Chu saw that there were still some rice dumplings left, and asked Xuan Bing to send ten to each household of the Yuan family in Yuanjiawan.
In this way, the rice dumplings made from more than two hundred kilograms of glutinous rice were almost divided, and some were left for them to eat at home.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she looked outside and it was already getting late. Smoke was rising from every household in the village. However, the people in her family who were coming back today were still nowhere to be seen. Mr. He hadn't arrived yet, so she held her belly and held on to her waist. Walk to the end of the village and look up.
