In the survival variety show, relying on raising cubs to make a comeback

This morning, the cubs got up together and said they wanted to eat zongzi.

Not surprisingly, Xia Chu took out a dozen zongzi smaller than a fist from the frozen cabinet, but before they were put on the steamer to steam, the cubs protested.

The big cub said dissatisfied: "Father, the parents of other children in our kindergarten all make their own rice dumplings."

Sanzai: "That's right."

Xia Chu: San Zai likes to be lazy, but he has high demands on others.

However, he was subtly embarrassed.

To be honest, his culinary skills are only a bit weak in "appearance", but the taste is still very good, and he can also cook many difficult dishes.But only things like zongzi need to use zongzi leaves to wrap the glutinous rice and ingredients...

This is somewhat embarrassing for his disabled hand.

Yan Shiqing happened to be wearing home clothes, walked down from the second floor slowly, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Have it.

Xia Chu had a flash of inspiration, and his eyeballs rolled around: "You can do it by yourself, but it's too boring for me to do it alone, why don't we all do it together?"

It's easy for him to lose face, but compared with some people who are even less skilled at cooking, he still has the confidence to win the game.

The cubs looked at each other and became interested one after another.

"Okay——" Da Zai clapped his hands happily, "We still have a competition to see who can make the most beautiful zongzi!" ·

It really is a small face control.

Xia Chu cursed in his heart, but responded with a smile on his face: "Okay, then let's divide into teams and compete. Two people can form teams freely, and whichever team does the worst will take over the housework for the next month."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and pulled Er Zai preemptively: "I'm with Er Zai."

"Father is playing tricks." Da Zai made a grimace, and muttered in a low voice, "I just like Er Zai Zai's dexterity."

At the beginning of Xia, he hummed and wrinkled his nose. What does that mean - so what, who told you not to move fast enough?

He has cooking skills, but his hand is disabled.However, Er Zai Zai just made up for his shortcoming. He is confident that the champion must be the two of them.

Da Zai pretended to touch his chin, got up suddenly, and ran to hold the cook's hand: "Then I will be with Sister Jia."

The cook was surprised for a moment, and looked at Chu Xia dumbfounded.

Da Zai has reason and evidence: "The rules don't say that you can't form a team with other people in the villa."

Xia Chu thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Sanzai was already a step late, but he reacted fairly quickly. He ran to the old housekeeper, raised his head and asked, "Grandpa housekeeper, can you make zongzi?"

The old butler happily said, "Of course."

So, they formed a group again.

In this way, Yan Shiqing and the four cubs were the only ones who did not form a team at the table.

Yan Shiqing's brows and eyes were full of helplessness, he lowered his head and said, "With me?"

The four cubs nodded coldly.

"Okay, the last pair has also successfully formed a team." Xia Chu moved out a lot of things from the kitchen, raised his chin and said, "This time, the glutinous rice is unified, and the ingredients are not limited. Everyone is free to make five zongzi, and finally the By secret ballot, the person with the most votes wins."

Everyone: "Agree!"

Just do what you say, give the glutinous rice to the cook first, wash it and put it back into the big basin in the center.Then the remaining ingredients include red beans, red dates, salted egg yolk, pork and meat floss...

Xia Chu and Er Zai discussed quietly for a while, and finally, they decided to make three sweet rice dumplings and two salty rice dumplings.

The sweet dumplings are filled with jujube kernels, crushed peanuts and bean paste. The reason is that "bean paste" is something that needs to be reprocessed. It requires cooking skills, and the other groups may not be able to do it well.

The salty rice dumplings use salted egg yolk and pork belly, the reason is that it is troublesome to handle, and the requirements for wrapping are the highest.

The two of them were thinking of making it difficult, but the big cub beside him was completely different.

Da Zai clung to the cook's ear and whispered, "I want to make something different."

Although he is only four years old, he has already eaten a lot of zongzi.Like the regular bean paste stuffing and egg yolk stuffing, they are more or less tired of eating, and it is not interesting to eat any more.

Regarding the young master, the cook would naturally not object, she nodded and said, "Then what shall we pack?"

Da Zai thought about it seriously: "I think ice cream filling is very good."

Cook:? !

"There is also cola sugar filling, it must be delicious."

Cook: Okay...eat...do you...

She tried to remind implicitly: "In addition to innovation, should we make salty rice dumplings?"

The big cub clapped his chubby hands, and said happily, "Yes! We can also make spicy rice dumplings!"

The cook didn't want to talk at all.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Da Zai's originally excited expression gradually became quiet.He raised his eyes, his slightly curled eyelashes trembling uncomfortably: "Is it my bad idea?"

Seeing those watery eyes, the cook immediately abandoned her integrity and said quickly, "Okay, I think it's pretty good."

"Okay, let's get started then."

The big cub immediately became happy again.

San Zai and the old butler's side also went very smoothly.

The old housekeeper is indeed very experienced, not only skilled in stuffing the stuffing, but also has a deep knowledge of the shape of the zongzi.

A simple triangle is no longer enough for him, San Zai watched helplessly, the housekeeper made a candy shape, an ingot shape, and even a rabbit shape rice dumpling.

San Zai didn't like to move at first, since the housekeeper grandpa could take care of everything, he sat beside him with peace of mind, and just watched his movements intently with his black and white eyes.

In the end, it was Yan Shiqing and the four cubs.

Yan Shiqing didn't have much desire to win the game itself, but just didn't want to do housework.

Coincidentally, the four cubs thought so too.

They carefully wrapped a zongzi - the glutinous rice dumped during the swallow, the zongzi leaves wrapped, and the ingredients put by Zai Zai.

From the outside, this zongzi is a standard pyramid shape, the size of a fist, and it looks quite delicate and cute.

But neither of them had much confidence in their cooking skills, so they put the rice dumpling in the pot for a try before anyone else used it.

The lid of the steamer is transparent, and what Yan Shiqing was most worried about was "revealing the stuffing". Fortunately, from the outside, this problem did not happen.He and the four cubs breathed a sigh of relief, and when the time came, they couldn't wait to lift the lid of the pot.

The moment the lid of the pot was lifted, their eyelids jumped.

——In the pot, a puff of white smoke curled up.

Yan Shiqing waved away the white mist with the palm of his hand, and wearing heat-resistant gloves, picked up the zongzi.

Unexpectedly, with his movements, instead of reducing the smoke, it became thicker in the kitchen.

Yan Shiqing had an even more ominous premonition. Looking carefully, the zongzi in her hand did indeed look very good, very standard.However, there was a small hole in its tip, and the smoke was coming out of it.

The four cubs were silent for a moment, then said dumbly: "Do you still want to look inside?"

Yan Shiqing couldn't give up: "Let's have a look."

After untying the zongzi leaves and rope, the glutinous rice on the surface of the zongzi was also crystal clear. It was not until Yan Shiqing cut the zongzi open that he found that the innermost part of the zongzi had been carbonized.

There was so much commotion in the kitchen that everyone couldn't hold back their curiosity and ran over to take a look.

result--

Xia Chu: "Hey, this smoky place, are you building a fairyland?"

Da Zai sneered ruthlessly: "Hahaha, you are bound to lose!"

San Zai also showed a determined smile.

Yan Shiqing: Four cubs: Both of them saw worry in each other's eyes.

When the smoke cleared, the others also went back to make zongzi. They looked at each other and said in unison.

"That does not work."

"Think of a way."

……

After a while, Yan Shiqing and Si Zai went to find other people one by one and chatted secretly.

And by this time, everyone's zongzi was wrapped.

After steaming the zongzi, put them on the table uniformly, waiting for everyone's judgment.

Everyone else's zongzi looked similar, even the old butler's strange shape was just a little innovation on the outside.Only Yan Shiqing's zongzi was smoking from the tip as usual.

Xia Chu glanced at him in admiration: it is amazing to be able to burn the zongzi so stably.

"Everyone has already seen the appearance, now Jiajia cuts up the zongzi, and everyone will judge the taste." Xia Chu winked at the cook.

The cook neatly divided out a lot of pieces, and each person took a small bite, which can eat all the zongzi without filling the stomach.

"Come and vote."

"Each person has two votes. You cannot vote for your own group."

Unexpectedly, I thought that Yan Shiqing's group was destined to be the last one, but in the end, their group got the most votes instead.

The corner of Xia Chu's mouth twitched, and he raised his head as if feeling something.

The complacency on the corners of the father's lips is fleeting.

Just this moment was enough for Xia Chu to figure out the truth.

Before, Yan Shiqing used a massage chair to buy off his votes.I thought that I couldn't be the last one anyway, and it would be okay to help Yan Shiqing and Si Zai, but it turned out that he was not the only one who was bribed.

I don't know what benefits they promised others.

Audience: Tsk, it's really dangerous.

"Yan Shiqing's group: 6 votes; Three Cubs' group: 4 votes; Xia Chu's group: 5 votes; then there is only one vote for the big cub group." Xia Chu looked at the big cub with leisure, "It seems that someone will do it Housework."

The big cub was on the verge of falling, his face was terrified, and he didn't dare to say anything: "How could this happen?"

He clearly felt that his taste was the best!

"Although the ice cream is delicious, it's too sweet when it's wrapped in zongzi." Er Zai explained with a sweet smile, "Coke candy is not bad, but it's so little that you can't eat it at all." Sugar; and that spicy rice dumpling, so salty."

San Zai nodded, expressing his approval: "If I didn't really like ice cream, I wouldn't vote for you."

The truth was revealed, and it turned out to be the only vote he had cast.

Chu Xia gloated and patted the big cub on the shoulder, and said, "Little friend, you will learn a lot from a pit, and if you want to innovate in the future, you must remember to taste it in advance—"

……

Outside the door, Mrs. Yan came to see them with zongzi.

Before they got close, laughter and laughter came from the villa.In the meantime, there was a sound full of air——

"I don't want it!"

Madam Yan stopped, slightly raised her lips, and looked up.

Today's sunshine is just right.
