The long road to chasing husband

Chapter 41 Dragon Boat Festival

In the blink of an eye, it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and Xiao Qingze sighed with emotion at a rare sight. Time flies, and it has been almost a month since he came to Ruiwu Town.Mu Chen soaked the glutinous rice several days in advance and prepared the zong leaves.

Ruiwu Town is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the zongzi made by Jinxiulou are basically salty zongzi.Mu Chen worried that Xiao Qingze, who grew up in the north, would not be used to eating, so he bought the ingredients himself.

An Heng sneered at this: How does Xiao Qingze look like a picky eater?

Mu Chen answered An Heng unceremoniously: "I am willing."

Wen Cheng had already returned to Jinxiu Tower, and Xuan Yu had also gone to the place where the manpower was stationed. There were only three people left here to make zongzi.

To An Heng's surprise, not only did Muchen wrap the zongzi quite well, but even Xiao Qingze's made zongzi, which looked obviously like zongzi.And the ones he made by himself were obviously a combination of zong leaves and glutinous rice, which kept leaking rice.

That's fine, Mu Chen looked at him with disgust for a long time, Xiao Qingze was even more ruthless, and said directly: "An Heng, go and rest for a while, don't torment the two of us."

An Heng simply sat aside and ate the glutinous osmanthus cake that Mu Chen made for Xiao Qingze early in the morning.

"I said, give me some left over." Xiao Qingze washed his hands and went over to grab a piece.

An Heng picked up a few pieces with chopsticks and put them into his mouth, "How many times have you eaten at Qilin Pavilion? Also, what are you afraid of? If you run out of food, that guy can cook for you again. What about me? If the sky is not with you, I will not be able to eat."

"If you can't eat it, make it yourself. You just don't know how to make zongzi, and it's not like you can't do anything." Xiao Qingze saw An Heng gobbling it up, and was afraid that he would choke the next moment.

It’s delicious without wood dust!An Heng's mouth was full of glutinous rice cakes, Mu Chen's culinary skills were absolutely speechless, no wonder he made Xiao Qingze's mouth more and more tricky.

"It's okay, Mr. An, you can eat it if you want. After a while, the crystal dumplings I made in the morning should be out of the cage. Don't grab it with the young master when Mr. An is full." After making the last zongzi, Mu Chen simply cleaned up After a while, walked over.

"You..." An Heng almost choked himself to death.It turned out that the purpose of doing so much was to feed him, and not let him and Xiao Qingze compete for other food?

Before they left Qilin Pavilion, An Heng saw the crystal steamed buns that Mu Chen made for Xiao Qingze, one bite at a time.The skin is crystal clear, the thickness is just right, and the filling can be seen from the outside.The meat used for stuffing is fat but not greasy, thin but not woody, and with dozens of seasonings, it is fragrant for miles.What Mu Chen made was still a small bag filled with soup, and the soup inside was delicious.

It's a pity that An Heng had just had dinner at that time and couldn't eat at all, so he could only watch Xiao Qingze eat one after another in front of him, salivating.

Since then, An Heng has been thinking about this crystal steamed bun, who knows that Mu Chen finally made it, and he is full again!

"Give me some left over, I'll have it for lunch." Regardless of whether it's hot or cold, I must eat it today.

"Aren't you going to watch the dragon boat race at noon? I heard that Wen Cheng specially reserved a good view seat for you in the Jinxiu Building." Besides eating zongzi, the Dragon Boat Festival is the most important part of the Dragon Boat Festival.

An Heng finally swallowed all the food in his mouth, "Aren't you going?"

Xiao Qingze took a sip of tea, sure enough, the water in Ruiwu Town was still inferior to Qilin Pavilion. "It's not that I haven't seen it before. There are too many people here, so I won't join in the fun."

"Why join in the fun! How could the dragon boat races in the north be the same as those in the south? In other words, the dragon boat races are different everywhere. Are you not curious at all?" An Heng didn't give up.

"Not curious, go by yourself."

"Mu Chen, aren't you curious?" If Mu Chen goes, a big vinegar vat will definitely follow.

"I'm originally from Jiangnan, do you think I'd be curious?" Mu Chen smiled, "Young Master An, go by yourself, I'll just stay here with the young master."

When An Heng heard this, he intentionally made a dejected look, "You don't want to go, I'm so bored by myself."

"Isn't Wen Cheng here?" Mu Chen said.

"Wen Cheng must be busy with the business of Jinxiu Building, how can he have time to take care of me?"

Before An Heng could finish his sentence, Wen Cheng's voice came over, "I'm busy, but I'm done with it, and the shop assistants can do the rest, so I don't have to worry about it."

"Wen Cheng!" An Heng jumped up from the stool, "You are here. Huh? What delicious food did you bring me?"

"Mr. An, don't worry. It's still raw!"

Wen Cheng had a lot of ingredients in his hands. They had lived here for a while, and they had almost eaten the food they had prepared before.

"Wen Cheng, it's okay. Mr. An was almost full just now, and now you give him a table full of Chinese people, he can't eat anymore." Mu Chen joked.

"You still have the guts to say it." An Heng rolled his eyes.

Mu Chen pretended not to see An Heng's white eyes, turned around and went to the kitchen, took out two drawers of freshly cooked crystal steamed buns, and a few dishes of dipping sauce.The dipping material is also finely adjusted with wood dust.

"What is this? Why is it so fragrant? I smelled it outside the house."

"Wen Cheng, it's really time for you to come. It's a blessing." An Heng rubbed his swollen belly.

Xiao Qingze spread out the small plates, and handed the chopsticks to An Heng and Wen Cheng, "This crystal steamed bun is not big, you can't eat too much, one or two is fine, don't be angry. Wen Cheng, you can eat too much." Try it, Muchen's skill is no worse than that of your chef in Jinxiu Building."

Hearing what Xiao Qingze said, Wen Cheng was not shy, and took the chopsticks.

Muchen opened the lid of the bamboo steamer, and Wen Cheng looked at the steaming steaming crystal clear steamed bun, and said in surprise, "This...is this made by Muchen?"

"What else? Don't tell me that you expect An Heng to make this kind of food. He probably has to compete with me for the food." Xiao Qingze put a crystal steamed bun on the plate, and handed it over Give Mu Chen another one and put it on his plate.

Mu Chen picked it up and reminded: "Be careful of burning."

Wen Cheng took a sip and said in admiration, "Don't say it's better than our chef's. I've eaten so many steamed buns, and the one made by Mu Chen is really the best I've ever eaten."

When Xiao Qingze heard Wen Cheng praise Mu Chen, he was very happy.

Mu Chen was also not polite to Wen Cheng, "Then I thank you for your compliment."

The four shared five drawers of crystal dumplings.After tidying up, Mu Chen looked at the sun, and together with Wen Cheng, cooked the rice dumplings just made.

"Young Master, won't you go to watch the dragon boat race? I have reserved a seat for Young Master in Jinxiu Tower."

"Let An Heng go, I won't go. You know, I don't like places with too many people. Besides, there are too many people. If I accidentally bump into someone, I will get hurt. But it's about to be revealed." Xiao Qingze also thought about going to see it with Mu Chen, but finally gave up.Xiao Qingyu's people are probably staring at him all the time now, although they dare not appear near this house, there must be one in Ruiwu Town.

"Indeed. However, the young master can go to the night market at night. The floating night market here has a special flavor. I rented two boats. When the time comes, the young master will be on the boat and no one will see it."

"Alright, I'll go out with Mu Chen to have a look at night." Xiao Qingze looked at Mu Chen who was sitting beside him.

Hearing that Xiao Qingze was about to abandon him again, An Heng said anxiously: "What about me?"

"How about I take Mr. An to play? I've lived here for so long, and I'm more familiar with it than the young master." Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiao Qingze wanted to be alone with Mu Chen, and Wen Cheng quickly helped smooth things over.

Mu Chen also echoed: "Yes, with your temperament, it's better to go out with Wen Cheng. In case you run around again, with so many people, the young master and I will not be able to find you."

An Heng thought about it, yes, and agreed.

When it was almost noon, Mu Chen went to the kitchen to make lunch, and Xiao Qingze followed him to help him.Wen Cheng wanted to learn from him, but when he saw Xiao Qingze passing by, he didn't follow, and stayed with An Heng.

Within two hours, Mu Chen cooked a few side dishes and took out the cooked rice dumplings.A few people ate quite a lot before, so lunch doesn't have to be too big.Xiao Qingze brought realgar wine to dry in the yard.This lunch can be regarded as a rare and leisurely meal this time.

Most of the zongzi made by Muchen and Xiao Qingze are sweet zongzi, including jujube zongzi, five-bean zongzi, eight-treasure zongzi, and white zongzi.Of course, there are some fresh meat dumplings and bacon dumplings.

Mu Chen peeled a white rice dumpling for Xiao Qingze, let it cool, and poured the sweet-scented osmanthus honey prepared in advance.Xiao Qingze took a bite, the aroma of glutinous rice combined with the fragrance of zong leaves, and the sweetness of osmanthus honey, it tasted soft and sweet, fragrant and delicious.

"I said Mu Chen, you made so many zongzi in different ways, we can't finish them, and if you give them away, there is no one you know here. It's a hot day, how do you deal with these zongzi?"

An Heng knew that Mu Chen made a big pot of rice dumplings in different ways, just to let Xiao Qingze taste various flavors, and his jaw almost dropped in shock.

Mu Chen pointed to a large box that was emitting white gas by the well, "Such a big storage refrigerator, Mr. An, how did you manage to turn a blind eye?"

It was only then that An Heng realized that the box by the well was steaming white, and it should be filled with a large box of ice, "I...how did you get so much ice?"

"It's been there for more than ten days, why didn't you find out?" Xiao Qingze finished eating the cold honey rice dumpling, and took another bacon rice dumpling.

"It hasn't melted in more than ten days. Are you ice? Your ice has turned into a goblin, right?"

Mu Chen and Xiao Qingze gave An Heng a look of "You're an idiot and I don't want to talk to you" at the same time.

"You can just freeze it after it melts. What I'm more curious about is, Mu Chen, how did you manage to make this thing in such a hot day?" Wen Cheng had already discovered it.If he remembered correctly, the last time Xiao Qingze casually said that Ruiwu Town was much hotter than Qilin Pavilion, and the next day, there were several storage refrigerators in the yard and in the house.

"I have my way, don't try to pull me out to make money for you."

"How dare I!" If I dared, I would be beaten to death by the young master.Wen Cheng didn't ask too many questions, Mu Chen didn't want to say things, no matter how many times you asked him, he wouldn't say them.

After dinner, Wen Cheng took An Heng to Jinxiu Tower to watch the dragon boat, and Xiao Qingze went to the gazebo in the backyard to rest.

The storage refrigerator in the gazebo in the backyard is bigger than the one by the well in the front yard. There are a lot of seasonal fruits in it by Muchen, and Xiao Qingze can eat it directly at any time.

Xiao Qingze took a look at the fruits in the box. With such a big box, it is convenient to store food and it is much cooler. "Don't talk about Wen Cheng, I'm curious about how you made this ice." Xiao Qingze was not surprised that there were so many storage refrigerators overnight.

"Didn't the young master say that it's too hot here?" Mu Chen brought tea over.

As soon as Xiao Qingze heard it, he knew that Mu Chen didn't want to talk, so he simply didn't ask, picked up a frozen grape from the box, and stuffed it into Mu Chen's mouth.

"Wen Cheng rented a boat and went out with me to have a look at night."

"..." Mu Chen now had a hard grape stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't spit it out or swallow it, so he just kept his mouth shut and didn't speak.

Xiao Qingze looked at Mu Chen's speechless expression with his lips pursed, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter.
