Mr. Transcendence

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, habits are far away..."

After reciting the three-character scriptures with the children, Yuan Anping announced: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone has a day off, and the day after tomorrow we will go to class normally. The top ten students in today's exam will stay, and I will give you prizes."

The children are very happy to hear that they can have a day off, and they can play for a day during the festival.I also heard that there are rewards for the top ten in the exam. Of course, I am very envious of those children.

Yuan Anping went out to get prizes, and the kid who got good in the exam happily guessed what prize he would get.

"What do you think Brother Anping wants to send us?"

"Since it's a holiday, should they give us food?"

"According to what you said, Brother Anping will give us zongzi?"

"It should be, it's the Dragon Boat Festival after all."

"I don't think it's right. We are giving prizes because we do well in the exam, and it's not giving us holiday gifts."

"But tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Sending zongzi is very harmonious with the festival."

"Li Zi, do you know what prizes Brother Anping will give out? The students in class in the morning should also give out prizes, right?"

As the teaching assistants, Li Zi and the others, because they followed the class in the morning, and the new students also got prizes for the exam, so they all knew what Yuan Anping was going to send them.

Of course Li Zi knew it, but he didn't intend to say it. He said with a smile: "What are you in a hurry for? Don't you know it soon? Anyway, it's a good thing."

Seeing Li Zi like this, the students looked forward to it even more.

Yuan Anping came to the main room: "Xiaohan, have you packed the prizes for them?"

"It's packed, it's in the basket on the table. The top three are the top three."

Yuan Anping looked into the basket and found that there were small packages wrapped in paper bags, "Okay, I'll send them to them."

Carrying a heavy basket, Yuan Anping entered the classroom with a smile: "Come here and get the prizes. Because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, I will also join in the fun and send you some things that can be used for the festival."

The students all surrounded the past.

A little impatient couldn't help asking: "Brother Anping, what is the prize?"

"Golden silk candied dates." Actually, they are hard candied dates, which are stored in his space.Because this kind of hard candied dates is very sweet and contains a lot of sugar, and after people pay more attention to health, fewer people eat them, which makes the price of this kind of candied dates very cheap.Because of the high sugar content, Yuan Anping, who thought he would encounter disasters like the end of the world, bought a lot of them. After all, sugar can provide a lot of calories.

Yuan Anping opened the paper bag: "This is a very sweet candied date. It can be eaten as candy or used for cooking. Tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival, you can let your family wrap it in rice dumplings." He has seen people who like sweets, and directly He just ate the candied dates used for cooking porridge, because he couldn't bear it anyway.

These children have all seen jujubes, and there are many jujube trees in the village.But they could tell the difference between candied dates and the ones they usually ate at a glance.The child who received the prize held the hard jujube and thought it was very novel. He had never seen this kind of jujube.

Some children wanted to try it, but because the top three were awarded [-], and the students after the third were only ten, and they had a lot of families, so they decided to take it home and share it with their families.

The children left happily. Li Dongfeng took his bag of candied dates. He was No.2, so he had fifteen candied dates.He returned home happily: "Father, mother, I'm back."

Dongfeng Niang came out of the house: "Come back, the yard is drying in the water, you go and wash your face." After his son went to school, he became more particular. At the beginning, they only obeyed the instructions of the husband at that time. Although they found it troublesome, they followed suit. done.But gradually they found a big difference. The children who went to school and the children who played wildly in the village could tell the difference at a glance.Hands and faces are clean, and clothes are neatly dressed.It's no longer like before, the nose is long and the clothes are dirty and can't see the original color.

Li Dongfeng entered the room: "Mom, I passed No.2 in the exam today, and Brother Anping gave me a prize." He opened the paper bag, "This is a candied date, and Brother Anping said that this date is very sweet."

Hearing that her son did well in the exam, a smile bloomed on her face: "The east wind is powerful." She also looked at those candied dates curiously, took one and squeezed it: "Why are they so hard? This powder?" She added her finger The powdered sugar on it, "It's so sweet. What kind of date is this, why do you drop the powdered sugar?"

"Brother Anping said that it can be eaten directly or wrapped in rice dumplings."

"I'm going to cut one with a knife and try it." Dongfeng Niang thought that this jujube might be the same as that hard candy, and it would be good to taste it first after cutting one.

"If it's delicious, I'll send some to grandpa." Their family is one of the few families in the village that separated early. They don't live with their grandparents, but their parents are filial. Grandparents give some.The family is separated, there are fewer disputes, and everyone's relationship is very good.

Li Dongfeng went out to wash his face, and Dongfeng Niang went to the kitchen to cut open the candied date with a knife, and saw the date core: "There is also a core, just like ordinary dates." She squeezed some pieces and smashed them in her mouth, "It's so sweet, It’s really the same as sugar. I don’t know if sugar has been added, or it’s just like this.” I couldn’t help but think, “If it’s like this, this jujube can be used directly as sugar.”

Dongfeng Niang let Li Dongfeng taste it: "It's very sweet, it tastes like sugar and dates."

Li Dongfeng tasted half a slice, "It's delicious. Mom, how much will you give to grandparents?"

Dongfeng Niang looked at the quantity: "Let's keep four for our family. Tomorrow my mother will wrap them in rice dumplings for you to eat. Then send the ten to your grandparents." Thinking of keeping four, the family of three, the son can eat Two zongzi wrapped with this jujube.

"Okay, I'll send it."

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhong Sun Rui got up early in the morning.Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and festivals always make people very happy.

Seeing Zhongsun Rui, Huo Xiaohan smiled and asked, "Does Xiaorui want to eat zongzi earlier?"

Zhong Sunrui said with some embarrassment: "Let's eat it at noon." People here make zongzi in the morning and eat zongzi at noon.

"Okay, let's eat at noon." He said and took out the bracelet made of five-color rope, "Come on, wear it for you, children must wear it, and go to ward off evil spirits. Keep it on all the time."

"Okay." Zhong Sunrui looked at the five-color rope on his wrist, "Is it only for children?"

"Well, they are all brought by children. Do you want to eat salted duck eggs?" Yuan Anping bought a lot of duck eggs before, and they made salted duck eggs themselves, and they are ready to eat at this time.

Zhong Sunrui said happily: "Eat." He likes to eat salted duck eggs, especially egg yolks, the oily egg yolks are especially delicious.

After breakfast, we all make zongzi together.

Among the four people, only Huo Xiaohan's craftsmanship is on the line, and the bag is very beautiful.However, as long as the package does not leak rice, there is no requirement for any shape.

Huo Xiaohan looked at Zhongsun Rui: "Xiao Rui, you packed too much rice, the zongzi leaves won't fit. Add less rice."

Zhong Sunrui grinned and said, "I want to make a big one, but it's a pity that the leaves are not big enough."

Yuan Anping smiled. Children like to order something special, such as steamed buns. When everyone else eats big buns, they especially like to make small buns for them alone.Zongzi likes to be bigger than others: "If you want to eat bigger ones, let's cook glutinous rice tomorrow and eat it with sugar. It's actually the same as Zongzi."

"But, it's not a zongzi if it's not wrapped in leaves." In the children's mind, the zongzi is only wrapped in leaves, and it's just rice if it's not wrapped in leaves.

"...Actually, the taste is not that bad." When he was living by himself, when he was too lazy to buy zongzi, he would steam some glutinous rice, add dates, and eat it with sugar. It felt just like zongzi.

Huo Xiaohan said with a smile: "Children like to wrap things in leaves."

"Eating is a feeling." Zhongsun Lianjue put the rectangular rice dumplings he had wrapped into a steamed bun plate, "Wrapped in rice dumpling leaves, the steamed rice dumplings have the fragrance of rice dumpling leaves."

While the few people were chatting, Yuan Dahe came over with zongzi: "Brother Anping, I'll bring you some zongzi made by my mother."

Yuan Anping took it, and grabbed some candied dates for Yuan Dahe: "Take it and eat it." Anyway, children are not afraid of sweets.

One after another, several families sent some zongzi made by themselves to Yuan Anping. Yuan Anping looked at the zongzi, and then said to Zhong Sunrui, "Xiaorui, take some zongzi and send it to Yuan Lin." Think about it Children, the scene of making zongzi at home, always feel very lonely.

"Okay." In Zhong Sunrui's eyes, he and Yuan Lin are already good friends, and they don't have to worry about his cold chain when sending things.After taking the zongzi, I went to find Yuan Lin.

Zhong Sunrui ran to Yuan Lin and shouted cheerfully, "Yuan Lin, I'm here to bring you zongzi!"

He went straight into the courtyard and saw Yuan Lin: "Yuan Lin, have you made zongzi yet?"

"No." He was alone, it didn't matter whether he ate or not.

"Haha, this saves you trouble. I brought you six, so you don't have to wrap them yourself." Zhong Sunrui quickly took out the zongzi and put them on the table, "This paper bag contains white sugar. Cook the zongzi Stick to it. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so we must eat zongzi."

"Thank you."

"You are too polite." He said and took out another duck egg, "Brother Xiaohan cooked it for me, for you to eat." He saved it in the morning and planned to give it to Yuan Lin.Today is a holiday, and I can eat delicious food to celebrate the festival with brother Anping, but Yuan Lin can't do it.It would be nice to have a duck egg, "The yolk is already dripping with oil, it's delicious."

Yuan Lin took the duck eggs, looked at Zhong Sunrui, and said no more thanks: "Let's catch fish together in the afternoon."

"Okay!" Zhong Sunrui was very happy. Yuan Lin knew how to catch fish, and he wanted to go too, but Yuan Lin never took him, saying that going into the river was dangerous.This time I was finally willing to take myself to play.

At noon, because of the festival, Huo Xiaohan specially fried four dishes and put the cooked zongzi on the table: "Everyone, try the zongzi made by yourself." Put the zongzi made by Zhong Sunrui in front of him: " Dip it in sugar."

Yuan Anping took a zongzi made by himself, which was relatively small, because he was worried that the rice would leak, so he packed less rice.Pushing aside the zong leaves, I took a sip: "I make less rice, and it's sweet enough with candied dates, so I don't need to dip it in sugar."

Zhong Sunrui took a bite of the candied dates: "The candied dates are so sweet and delicious!"

Zhongsun Lianjue had never eaten candied dates before, and thought it was a good way to preserve jujubes, but after listening to Yuan Anping's talk about the production process of candied dates, he felt that it was too much sugar, and it was not worth it for ordinary villagers.

Huo Xiaohan looked at them, and when he was with them, he would really participate in this kind of joy and laughter on any festival, and he felt very happy.
