Qin Tingyu was still talking, but Chen Changsheng's thoughts were drifting away.

Bai Xiao had indeed helped her just now, but Chen Changsheng was not sure whether the other party was repaying her kindness openly because of her saving Mrs. Bai.

The government officials at the gate repeatedly obstructed her, collected visiting fees, and the gambling house's true story bribed the county government officials. This series of tricks made her still unsure whether the newly appointed Bai County Magistrate was colluding with the gambling house, and whether it was all the same. goods.

"Madam, just stay and have a casual meal." Qin Tingyu tried to dissuade her again and again. The savior had already arrived at the door of the house. If she was allowed to leave again, her mother-in-law might give her a few words.

"Mrs. Bai, I appreciate your kindness. I didn't mean to refute your reputation. It is indeed inconvenient to bring four children into the city today. My children are still on the street."

Qin Tingyu saw that Chen Changsheng refused, so she couldn't force him to stay. It would be bad if she made her benefactor unhappy and made the situation unpleasant.

"Madam, please wait a moment. The kitchen aunt has just cooked some rice dumplings. Since madam doesn't want to stay for dinner, just bring some rice dumplings with you and treat them as a taste for the children."

The nun in the kitchen brought a bunch of packed rice dumplings over. Qin Tingyu stuffed them into Chen Changsheng's arms and told her, "If anything happens to me, Madam, you can come to the county government office to find me at any time."

Chen Changsheng thanked Qin Tingyu, accepted the rice dumplings and left the county office.

The children are still waiting for her.

Seeing the rice dumplings in his hand, Chen Changsheng realized that it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival.

I don’t know what time it is now.

She raised her hand to activate the virtual bracelet. The main screen showed "11:25" and "Noon", and then she turned to the "Weather" screen, which showed 32 degrees and sunny.

Chen Changsheng patted his head and remembered that this bracelet only showed the time, not the date.

She walked very fast, and she didn't know whether it was because of the new shoes under her feet or because she was debt-free. She just felt the wind blowing under her feet today, and she couldn't help but sigh in relief, how good it was.

The county government office was not far from the market, only three streets away. Chen Changsheng walked through the alleys with ease and found Chen Dafu and Chen Sixi Xiaonizi.

She did not come forward immediately, but just looked at the two children from a distance. The two children shouted together. Chen Dafu was responsible for washing the dishes, while Si Xi was responsible for collecting money and serving tofu. Although they were busy, the two of them cooperated in an orderly manner.

Chen Changsheng found that Si Xi, a little girl, was actually drawing with her hands when there were not many people around. She seemed to be practicing writing. However, as she wrote, she would scratch the back of her hands from time to time, as if she was being touched by something. Got bitten.

She shouted, and the two children followed the sound and saw Chen Changsheng. When they saw the rice dumpling in her hand, they jumped up with joy.

"Yeah, it's zongzi!" Chen Sixi's eyes were bright.

"Mom must have known that tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, so she bought a few rice dumplings to take back." Chen Dafu said with certainty.

Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival?

She really didn't know about Chen Changsheng.

Then you have to prepare all the ingredients for making zongzi today.

Chen Changsheng took out two rice dumplings and gave them to each of the two children, treating them as lunch. If they were thirsty, there were tofu buns, so she peeled off a rice dumpling herself.

The rice dumplings given by Qin Tingyu are pure glutinous rice rice dumplings. When you peel off the rice dumpling leaves, you will find yellowish cooked glutinous rice inside. When you take a bite, your mouth will be full of fragrant and sticky rice.

"It's delicious!" Sixi took a bite and looked at Chen Changsheng with big bright eyes. Then he finished one piece in three strokes and licked the glutinous rice grains stuck to the corner of his mouth.

The rice dumplings were not too small, and one glutinous rice dumpling was enough to fill her up. Moreover, Chen Changsheng was worried that Sixi would suffer from gastrointestinal indigestion after eating too much glutinous rice at one time, so he stopped giving it to her.

"Mom, go deliver rice dumplings to your two brothers. You continue to sell tofu buns here. If they are sold out, go to the gate of the city and look for Zhao Daniu's ox cart. Do you remember?"

Chen Changsheng glanced at the small mosquito bites on the back of Sixi's hand. With a thought, he took out the cooling oil from the cooling gift package given by the system from his bracelet and applied it to Chen Sixi.

Si Xi immediately felt the back of her hand was cool and the itching was gone.

Chen Changsheng stuffed the small round box of cooling oil into the cloth pocket with copper plates on Sixi's chest, and said, "This is the mosquito repellent and anti-itching ointment that Mom bought at the pharmacy this morning. If any mosquito bites you two, just put some on it." layer."

Si Xi saw that the ointment worked so quickly and was probably not cheap. She pressed the opening of the cloth bag carefully, for fear of losing it, and nodded obediently.

Chen Changsheng then rushed to the pier to give Erlu and Sanshouya a rice dumpling each. The two groups of people had basically sold more than half of their tofu buns. He estimated that in half an hour, they should be able to sell them all. over.

She planned to take advantage of the break to buy various materials needed for the Dragon Boat Festival.

In her previous life, Chen Changsheng didn't have many family or friends, so she just celebrated the holidays casually by herself, but she still had an impression of some of the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. She was very busy planting mugwort, making egg cages, making rice dumplings, and sewing sachets. That's a lot to do.

There are many kinds of rice dumplings, including pork rice dumplings, bacon rice dumplings, bean paste rice dumplings, alkaline water rice dumplings, chestnut meat rice dumplings, red bean rice dumplings, egg yolk rice dumplings, sugar lotus root rice dumplings, vegetarian vegetable rice dumplings and so on.

She has a family of five, plus a total of sixteen people in the old house, so they have to cover thirty or so people no matter what.

You don’t need to make too many tricks with the rice dumplings. Simply make pork rice dumplings, red bean rice dumplings and alkaline water rice dumplings.

In addition to rice dumplings, she also had to prepare salted duck eggs. She couldn't afford to buy too many salted duck eggs, so she prepared a few to try as a family.

After determining the approximate ingredients, Chen Changsheng went straight and bought fifteen kilograms of glutinous rice, weighed three kilograms of fat and thin pork, and bought some red beans, mung beans, and soybeans for tomorrow.

After buying everything, she carried her basket and headed to the city gate. Zhao Daniu's bullock cart and several children were already waiting.

Business is very good today. Everyone can go home early. Several people arrived at Chenjia Village before Shen Shi.

There was still plenty of time in the afternoon, so Chen Changsheng decided to wash all the glutinous rice and beans he bought, marinate the meat in advance to add flavor, and then go to the old house to ask Mrs. Chen to help make rice dumplings.

She almost forgot the Ruo leaves used to make the rice dumplings, but it was simple. She asked Sanshou and Sixi to go to the river to pick some and bring them back. They also pulled a few mugwort sticks and hung them at the door to ward off evil spirits.

If there are no lotus leaves, you can just pick some lotus leaves, no matter how big the leaves are, you can use them.

The egg cage is simple, just buy a few colorful threads in the bracelet, and ask the store to provide an electronic tutorial. She will definitely be able to make it after learning it.

The mother and son walked home happily, but they saw a few sneaky people at the door of their courtyard from a distance.

One of the men was scaling the fence of her house, and the other two were holding hands outside the yard to give instructions.

It's clear and sunny, is there a thief in the village? !
