Little wealth

Waiting for pots of glutinous rice, beans and minced meat to be brought out, a large table was filled, and a large group of people who had been waiting outside for a long time also began to prepare zongzi.These women and brothers who came to help make zongzi were all surprised when they saw such a table, "Wow, there are so many meat fillings, how many zongzi do we have to make?"

"There are so many things that can make a lot of zongzi. I heard that they will give out zongzi to the people who work in the oil workshop."

"Oh, is that so? Does that mean oil sellers also get paid?"

"It should be like this. Didn't you distribute wine and meat to everyone a year ago?"

When everyone heard it, if this is the case, wouldn't each of them have a share in the family?But they came to Zhao's house to help today, so they can eat zongzi no matter what.So no matter what, everyone is very happy.

"It's really troublesome to everyone. I was busy and didn't come here just now." Zhao Amu came over in person, saw a lot of people came to help, and said hello to everyone.

"No trouble no trouble, we have nothing to do at home."

"Yes, yes, it's just a matter of making rice dumplings for the left and right, and it's not too hard work."

"Everyone, sit down and sit down, just sit down and make zongzi. Let's try to find an early wrap and cook it. We should be able to eat zongzi at noon."

After saying a few polite words to everyone, Zhao Amu taught everyone how to make zongzi. His daughter-in-law taught him how to make zongzi last year. He demonstrated it to everyone by himself, "When we make zongzi, we first use leaves Make a triangle, fill the glutinous rice into the zong leaves, then put in pork beans, half a piece of duck eggs, and fresh shrimps, then fill in some glutinous rice, cover the zong leaves, press tightly with your fingers, and tie the zong Ye, isn't a zongzi just tied up?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Others followed suit. Some of them knew how to make zongzi, and they learned it as soon as they learned it. There were also some who didn't know how to make zongzi very well, so they learned a little slowly.

The filling pots are separated. In addition to the salty meat stuffing and fresh shrimp, there are also some red bean paste, lotus seeds and red dates. Zhao Amu reminded everyone: "There are still some lotus seeds, red dates, red dates and red dates. Don’t confuse the sweet ones when you pack them, the sweet ones and the salty ones should be cooked separately.”

"Oh, yes."

Knowing that there are guests at home, Zhao Amu made rice dumplings here for a while, then went into the house, and then went out after a while.

The room was replaced with a set of long wooden chairs with soft cushions and cushions.

Josh was sitting in a big chair, with several soft cushions placed on the back and left and right for him to lean on, drinking tea and eating snacks, while talking to Bai Luoxi, "It should be making zongzi outside, we should be able to I can eat zongzi."

Master Fu knew that the old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion was coming, so he went to visit the old housekeeper.

The other two little guys have already held hands and ran outside to play with the four little brothers.

So at this moment, only the two of them are left here to talk.

"Well, this is good. I just came to your place because I knew your family was making zongzi today. I definitely want to eat zongzi." In fact, Bai Luoxi can also make zongzi at home, but making zongzi at home is always not so good. lively.So as soon as he received Josh's invitation, he dragged their master Fu over here today.

"I don't know how the zongzi are wrapped outside, I really want to eat them."

"You have to wait a little longer, didn't you say you just started packing?"

Josh really wanted to go out to help make zongzi, but dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him, and he was not allowed to go out to help, so he could only stay in the room and wait for food. Go back? If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay with us for a few more days."

"Nuomi and I are not in a hurry, but our Master Fu is definitely going back." Bai Luoxi said that their Master Fu is a busy person, and it is already very rare to be able to accompany him out today. It is almost impossible for them to live outside for two days.

The two of them sat in the room for a while, and Josh sat a little uncomfortable, and then stood up for a while. For some reason, he always felt that the little guy in his stomach was a little too active today.

Seeing Jo Xu's appearance, Bai Luoxi asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you let the imperial physician come over to show you?" He knew that the imperial physician was sent from the capital.

"It's okay, it's just that he's moving around in my stomach, which makes me a little uncomfortable." Josh took a deep breath and let it out, and sat down after a while.

But not long after, Doctor Wang was invited over, and he said the same thing as in the morning, that is, the baby in his stomach was about to come out, so he should pay attention to himself, and if he felt uncomfortable, he should be called to him.

"Yeah, I see." Josh himself nodded, but today he wanted to eat zongzi more than having a baby, so he asked the maid waiting outside the door to go two or three times to see the zongzi. are you done.

When the little maid came back from her third trip, she finally brought them back a pot of freshly cooked zongzi.

"Well, it smells so good!" A large pot of rice dumplings came at one end, and the top was still steaming and smelling like rice dumplings. Josh's eyes were glued to the plate of rice dumplings, "There are others there." Have you sent it?"

"Lu Yin, send some zongzi to the old housekeeper and Imperial Physician Wang."

"Yes, the servant will go here."

"Where are Nian Nian and Nuomi? Go tell them to come back and eat zongzi."

After a while, the boys and Xiao Nuomi all ran back from the outside. Xiao Nuomi, who had been out playing wildly for a long time, didn't look like the reserved and well-behaved look when she first came here. She had a big smile on her face and brushed her hair The good little bun is a bit messy at the moment, and a small flower tied to one side of the braid is still missing.

"Why are you sweating from running? You still have a flower on your head?" Bai Luoxi pulled her little brother back, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and wiped the sweat from the child's face and forehead.Xiao Nuomi took out the flowers that fell from her hair and gave them to her father, smiling a little embarrassedly.

"You." Bai Luoxi looked at the little brother's appearance, but couldn't bear to scold him.

Over there, Josh was also pulling their little brat to wipe his face, "It's all right, kid, just run to keep healthy."

"Boy Chun, take them to wash their hands before coming back to eat zongzi."

Seeing that the little boy's little paws were black, Josh handed his son over to a few big brothers, who led them to wash their hands, and asked them to fetch a basin of water for the little boy. Sticky rice washes hands.

Boy Chun took a few younger brothers to wash their hands, and brought a few younger brothers back after a while.

"Drink the rice soup first, and then eat the zongzi." There was a good rice soup on the table, and Josh asked the children to drink some rice soup to fill their stomachs, and then let them eat the zongzi.Children like to hold and eat, and he also lets several children hold and eat.

As soon as the children had something to eat, they sat down one by one, concentrating on eating the rice dumplings, and there was no one to talk to.

As for their grown-ups, they are served on plates.

"Are the zongzi delicious?"

"delicious……"

Several boys said in unison.

Josh inserted the rice dumpling with his chopsticks, took a bite, and couldn't help but hum, "Delicious!" It was so delicious!After steaming the zongzi for more than an hour, the glutinous rice inside has been steamed until soft and rotten. The rice in the zongzi made by their family has not been mixed with soy sauce, so after peeling off the leaves, the rice inside is a bit white. There is a fragrance of zong leaves, and it is full of meat stuffing when you bite it open.

In addition to pork, there are also duck eggs and fresh shrimp beans. The beans are soaked and then fried, and then put into a stone pound to mash them. In this way, the processed beans do not have the grainy texture of beans, but are fragrant and glutinous. Taste.

"Well, it's quite delicious, even better than our homemade zongzi." Bai Luoxi couldn't help but nodded, this zongzi was really delicious, he ate two in a row.

Josh also ate two in a row. If he couldn't eat any more, he would like to eat two more.

After the children were full, they ran out to play outside in a swarm.

"I..." Josh stood up from the chair he was sitting on, and just wanted to say that he was going to the latrine, but as soon as he stood up, he felt a splash under his crotch, and he froze, "... "

"What's the matter?" Bai Luoxi took a sip of tea, and when she looked up, she saw that Josh was frozen there, and asked a little strangely.

Josh almost didn't cry, he seemed to pee his pants?Suddenly there was a sharp pain in my stomach, which seemed a little different from the pain these days?

"Are you going to give birth?"

"It seems to be from...?"

"..." Bai Luoxi was the one who came here. Seeing Josh's pale face while supporting his stomach, he was startled, and hurriedly called for someone to come in, "Quick, come and help me."

"Master, what happened?"

As soon as Qiu Ju, who was guarding the door, ran in, she saw that their master was supporting Mr. Zhao's husband, and Mr. Zhao's husband was holding his stomach with one hand, his face was pale, and he was busy calling for someone while going to help him.

"My lord, my lord, my master wants to give birth..."

"!"

As soon as Zhao He, who was ordering people to deliver zongzi outside, heard this, he turned around and ran towards the main hall. As soon as he entered, he saw Fu Lang was being supported by someone and was about to go out, "I'll come." Go forward, hug the person horizontally, and stride back to the yard where they live.

"Hurry up, take him back to the house."

"Go and ask Mr. Wen to come here."

Bai Luoxi calmed herself down, and ordered the maidservants below to invite someone to invite someone, and to prepare things for those who want to prepare things.There were also two experienced Momo and Mr. Wen brought by the old housekeeper from the Hou's mansion, and everyone rushed over, and everyone got busy in an orderly manner.

At this time, the old housekeeper, Wang Taiyi and his party also got the news, hurriedly put down the half-eaten zongzi and rushed to the front yard.

Doctor Wang has quick legs and leads people to run ahead...
