after rebirth

Before the second quarter of Shen Shi, the shadow of the dragon boat can be seen from a distance standing on the bank of the river. From a small point in the distance, it gradually becomes larger and closer.The crowd on the bank of the river became more and more excited. Some stayed here at the beginning and waited for the last moment, and some followed the dragon boat all the way. There were endless shouts and conversations, and it was very lively.Vendors selling all kinds of things along the street are also constantly yelling, some selling all kinds of snacks, and some selling all kinds of exquisite gadgets, which are dazzling and dazzling.The streets are filled with the festive atmosphere of the Duanyang Festival, and the air is filled with the smell of rice dumplings, boiled, fried and fried, of course there are all kinds of flavors, especially the sweet red bean rice dumplings, whether fried or fried. Or boiled, the taste is particularly good.

Among the lively crowd, there are two children who are very eye-catching. One is lively and active, and the other is quiet and cute. The two little dolls, who are moving and quiet, look very similar. Porcelain Doll.

"Daddy's over there." Zhao Ningzhang pointed to the long queues of shops on the street. The red bean dumplings sold there were probably the most delicious in Shangzhou.Only on the day of Duanyang Festival can we eat this delicious rice dumpling.

The red bean filling in the red bean dumpling is freshly boiled. It is not ordinary brown sugar, but high-quality rock sugar. When eating, it is dipped in a little sophora japonica honey, and it tastes very sweet.The two children didn't know where they knew that there would be red bean dumplings for sale today, and they were brought here purposefully after they came out of Taibai Tower.

It’s just that there was a long queue in front of the store, at least seven to eighty people. Some people have been thinking about eating rice dumplings here for a whole year, so how could they be willing to give up their hard-earned seats to others.Asking an attendant to line up to buy zongzi, Du Jinrong took the two children, Zhao Hengze, and Xiao Jing to the side of the tea shed and waited.At this time of year, the tea shed also enjoys the glory of the rice dumpling shop. Many people who come here to drink tea are queuing up to buy rice dumplings.

Although the tea shed looks crude, and a large bowl of tea with a big coin looks very rough, but the tea tastes good, it quenches thirst, slightly bitter and astringent in the mouth, but has a sweet aftertaste.Taste it carefully, and there is another wonderful taste in it, and the slightly astringent taste seems to be due to this.

"Shopkeeper, the tea tastes really good." After taking a sip, Du Jinrong put down the crude but well-washed tea bowl and said with a smile.

Not to mention the attire of Du Jinrong and his group, but Du Jinrong's whole body style, that is not ordinary.The owner of the tea shed is an old man in his 60s and [-]s. He has the simplicity and enthusiasm unique to a hard-working family, but he also has the restraint and timidity of facing dignitaries. He rubbed his hands nervously. The old man tried his best to be calm but stammered Said: "I put some zong leaves and leaves when I boiled the tea, just, that is, it is the reed leaves and leaves of the Zhiyi River, the river, the river, the river, and the river, and it tastes a little bit astringent, astringent. , but drinking it is good for your health, it’s good for your health.” Afraid of causing misunderstandings by the nobleman, the shopkeeper immediately explained, but couldn’t find a good word, and scratched his head for a while, his face flushed red.

At this time, the little grandson of the store saw that the situation here was not good, and thought that his grandfather was in trouble, so he hurried over. The little grandson was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a lake-green scholarly attire, approached and found his grandfather It wasn't being made things difficult for me, so I felt relieved, took a step forward and gave a long bow, "The student grandpa means that although the tea made with zong leaves tastes bitter, the aftertaste is sweet, and it can produce body fluids, quench thirst, clear away heat and relieve internal heat." , good for the health. The reed leaves used for making tea in the small shop grow naturally on the bank of the Zhiyi River. They are cut and brought back in the early morning. After drying and chopping, they can be used for making tea, and they are only cooked in this season. Tea tastes the best, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the tea brewed will become very bitter."

"Well, it turns out that it's only available during this New Year's Eve." Du Jin nodded appreciatively. It's best to let nature take its course, like the tea boiled with reed leaves in the tea shed, or the red bean zongzi from the zongzi shop next door. , conform to the season, don't force it.I also feel a little regretful, if only I could bring it back, so that my uncle could taste it.

"My lord, my family also sells tea bags. You can cook them yourself when you get home." Xiaoxiu is a good business owner, and she sells her own tea bags just right. This is the time of year when the business of the tea shed is the best. , Xiao Xiucai followed his grandfather and mother to help in the tea shed since he was a child. He understands the hardships of his family, and always thinks of ways to improve his business.

Du Jinrong smiled and nodded cheerfully, "I want some, how do you sell the tea bags here?"

The little scholar asked his grandfather to bring some tea bags. Unlike the shabby tea sheds, the tea bags were wrapped in good kraft paper. Because it was coarse tea and reed leaves, the tea bags were very generous. Du Jinrong directly ordered five of them. Pound tea bags.Seeing that the tea bags were good, other guests also paid for them one after another. The tea shed was crowded with people and the business was very good.Little Xiucai clenched her fists happily, and a smile appeared on her face because of excitement. When she smiled, there was a small dimple on her cheek, which made her look less mature and stable than before, and much more cute.In order to pass the time, and also because of the little scholar's performance, Du Jinrong chatted with the little scholar, and when he left, he really liked the little scholar, especially the young scholar's neither humble nor overbearing, and calm conversation attitude, which is really true at his age. It is rare, and the little scholar is kind-hearted, filial and courteous. Such talents are the talents that Da Qi needs most.

"Study hard in the future, and one day you will win the toad palace and be named on the gold list."

The little scholar bowed his hands, thanked Du Jinrong and watched Du Jinrong leave with the people. He stood outside the tea shed for a long time and did not leave until his grandfather came to look for him. "Is the baby still not going back?"

"Oh, Grandpa, I'll be right there." Little Xiucai turned his head back, took a last look at the distance, and went in. It wasn't until ten years later that Xiaoxiu was actually named on the gold list and met Du Jinrong at the Qionglin Banquet. His appearance has not changed now, but it is already out of reach, but his easy-going and natural expression has never changed.

Although they came out of the tea shed, the turn of the red bean dumpling was more than ten people away, and the two children were also curious about all kinds of gadgets sold on the street. Du Jin couldn't bear to let the two children down, so he took them on the street walk up and down.Zhao Hengze had already taken Xiaojing to the river bank to watch the dragon boat race, but now it was the most intense and exciting time, and the cheers and roars could be heard from far away from the river bank.Zhao Ningzhang and Zhao Ningyu didn't have the freshness of the dragon boat race at the beginning, and they were more curious about the street vendors.Squatting in front of a small stall selling stones, the two children felt that the gadgets placed on the cloth were very strange, and even Du Jinrong couldn't help being amazed.

The stones on the cloth show their most simple and authentic side, without any artificial carving, but this originality is also the most attractive, just like a stone in the shape of a leopard in Zhao Ningyu's hands, with spots, The strong and powerful limbs were so lifelike, Zhao Ningyu compared them to the red dates, grinned, and waved at Du Jinrong, "Daddy, I want this."

Du Jinrong nodded, "Did Xiaozhang choose one?"

Zhao Ningzhang was in a dilemma. He held a white cat in his left hand, and a stone on his right hand had a few red carp swimming in the turbulent water. They were all pretty.

"The white one is like ice cream, and the blue and red ones are like dumplings. They are both delicious. Daddy, can I have both?" It is obvious that the thinking of children is different from that of adults. All Zhao Ningzhang imagined was food.

Du Jinrong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Both of them look delicious, but Xiao Zhang can only choose one, what should I do?" He knelt down and looked at the child with a puzzled expression, and waited for the child's answer.

Zhao Ningzhang is in a dilemma. He wants both, but his father and father have educated them. It is enough to have one of the best of the same things, and more will add to the burden.

Seeing his brother's embarrassment, Zhao Ningyu patted the stone in his palm reluctantly, and then said loudly: "Daddy, I don't want mine anymore. I want the one in my brother's hand, okay?" Reluctant to show off, Zhao Ningyu decided to give up what he wanted. After all, stones are not such important things, and they don't have to be obtained.

Seeing that his younger brother is like this, Zhao Ningzhang didn't insist on it, chose with his eyes closed, then raised his right hand and said to his father, "Daddy, I want this."

"Okay." Du Jin said with a smile, "Then daddy wants another one, Xiaoyu can also choose one for daddy."

"Yeah." The two children cheered, and they happily picked one. Finally, they chose a stone that they thought was a dragon. That's forbidden.But looking at the attire of Du Jinrong and his party, he was not something a commoner could afford to offend. He was impatient and wished he could send them away as soon as possible.

Du Jin tolerated the smile. The stone that the children thought was a dragon looked more like a mallet to him, and he didn't know what Zhao Hengxu's expression would be when he received it.

Laughing all the way, after shopping around a street, the attendants also carried all kinds of things in their hands, and when they turned around and walked back, the red bean zongzi had already been bought.I found a wine shop next to a rice dumpling shop, and the two children walked around. They were already hungry, and they were greedy for the freshly cooked red bean rice dumplings. The closer they were to the red bean rice dumplings, the more obvious the sweetness in their noses. Swallowing uncontrollably, the two children expressed their love for zongzi with practical actions, especially Zhao Ningyu, who likes sweets, his eyes were almost stuck to the zongzi.

Not long after sitting down, Du Jinrong got up to go to the toilet because he drank too much tea just now, leaving the attendants here to watch over the two children. There seemed to be noisy voices outside, saying that someone had been kidnapped, but they couldn't really hear it. In the "Putong" private room, an attendant standing with his head bowed suddenly made a move, put another companion down, raised his head, and there was a warm smile on his hibiscus face.

"Baibai." The two children cheered in surprise, clapping their little hands happily.

The attendant was indeed Bai Bilian. She was dressed in men's clothing, but she was a little less feminine and more tough. Her beautiful face like a hibiscus flower would not be mistaken. It was indeed the Bai Bilian made of water.
