With the help of Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao, the rice dumplings were wrapped quickly.
There are rice dumplings with red dates and red bean fillings, salted egg yolk bacon rice dumplings, pine nut and wild mushroom rice dumplings, chestnut and walnut rice dumplings, and wolfberry and astragalus health rice dumplings.
A lot of various kinds of rice dumplings.
In addition, Zhou Ziwen is also planning to make some salted duck eggs and mung bean cake.
The salted duck eggs are ready-made and have been pickled before. They only need to be boiled.
Mung bean cake is also easy to make and not troublesome.
There are so many of them, they have been busy all morning, and the preparations are almost done.
"Okay, it's almost time. The rice dumplings are ready to be steamed."
Zhou Ziwen clapped his hands and said with a smile.
“Hee hee, hurry up, hurry up, I can’t wait to eat the rice dumplings.”
Tang Yaoyao urged.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about being late for a good meal."
Despite saying this, Zhou Ziwen still quickly brought the wrapped rice dumplings to the pot and started cooking.
Besides, Chen Shiying also steamed the mung bean puree in the pot.
When the mung bean puree was almost steamed, Chen Shiying took out the mung bean puree and started the final process.
Steamed mung bean puree needs to be mixed with sugar and pork.
After stirring evenly, press it into the mold to make mung bean cakes with regular shapes and attractive colors.
“The mung bean cake is ready, let’s try it quickly!” Chen Shiying held a plate of freshly made mung bean cake and excitedly invited everyone to taste it.
Hearing this, a group of people immediately gathered around.
Mung bean cake melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy, with the fragrance of mung beans, and won unanimous praise from everyone.
"Wow, Sister Shiying, your craftsmanship is so good, the mung bean cake is so delicious!" Shen Zhaodi praised while eating the mung bean cake.
Tang Yaoyao also nodded and praised: "Yes, this mung bean cake has a delicate texture and is better than the ones sold outside."
Zhou Ziwen looked at this scene with a smile.
Chen Shiying's cooking skills were trained by him personally.
In addition, she already loves this. After studying hard, her craftsmanship is no worse than those of hotel chefs.
It takes some time to steam the rice dumplings, so everyone took advantage of this gap to start preparing other Dragon Boat Festival foods.
Zhou Chaoyang took out the snacks he bought in the village, and Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao each contributed their own specialties.
After a while, the dining table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
In addition to rice dumplings and mung bean cakes, there are also salted duck eggs, cold cucumbers, pickled fish, etc., which are extremely rich.
“Thank you for your hard work, come and eat!” Zhou Ziwen greeted everyone to sit down and prepare to start the Dragon Boat Festival lunch.
Everyone sat around the dining table, tasting delicious food and chatting about home affairs. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant.
Laughter and laughter came from time to time in the yard, making this Dragon Boat Festival full of joy and warmth.
Speaking of which, this is their first Dragon Boat Festival after going to the countryside.
Looking at the lively scene, Zhou Ziwen missed his family a little.
The parents, brothers and sisters at home, and the little sister with whom he has the best relationship.
There are also newborn nephews and nieces.
Thinking of his relatives far away, Zhou Ziwen also felt a little emotional.
But looking at the two sisters beside him, Zhou Ziwen's mood improved again.
“Come on, don’t be polite, everyone, and eat more.” Zhou Ziwen entertained everyone enthusiastically.
Those educated youths who went to the countryside can now be considered as grouping together to keep warm.
"I'm having a great time this Dragon Boat Festival!" Tang Yaoyao said with a smile.
She was very lucky to meet like-minded friends like Zhou Ziwen after going to the countryside.
She still remembers that when she went to the countryside, she came with a pessimistic attitude. Shen Zhaodi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, I feel very happy to celebrate the festival with everyone."
When she said this, she glanced at Zhou Ziwen without leaving any trace.
Zhou Ziwen had a smile on his face, but no expression could be seen.
His relationship with Shen Zhaodi has not been exposed yet.
Even the careful Chen Shiying had no doubts, let alone others.
Of course, Zhou Ziwen and Shen Zhaodi concealed this well.
In front of others, they never show anything different.
After finishing the meal happily, everyone was full.
One by one, they were lying on chairs and basking in the sun.
When it was almost time to rest, they and the Chen sisters cleaned up the dishes.
“Sister, Yiyi, let’s give the rice dumplings to Uncle Wu and the others first!”
After they finished packing, Zhou Ziwen said.
Wu Dagang and the team leader took good care of Zhou Ziwen and always regarded Zhou Ziwen as a junior.
There are also Liu Si, Wang Hongbing, Zhu Jianguo and others.
Unknowingly, Zhou Ziwen also made many connections in Dabazi Village.
"Well, let me divide the zongzi and mung bean cake first."
Chen Shiying nodded.
Chen Shiying quickly divided the rice dumplings and mung bean cakes into several portions, and carefully packaged each portion to ensure that it was beautiful and decent when sent out.
“Ziwen, is this okay?” Chen Shiying showed Zhou Ziwen the divided gifts.
Zhou Ziwen took a look and nodded in praise: "Very good, sister, I can rest assured that you will do your job."
"Then let's set off, finish the delivery early, and come back early to rest." Chen Qiaoyi said impatiently.
"Okay, let's go." Zhou Ziwen said, taking the lead to pick up a few gifts. The two sisters also took some each, and the three of them walked out of the house together.
They first came to Wu Dagang's house. Wu Dagang smiled from ear to ear when he saw the gifts sent by Zhou Ziwen and others.
"Ziwen, you are so polite, you even sent rice dumplings here specially." Wu Dagang took the gift and said gratefully.
"Uncle Wu, this is what we should do. Thank you for your continued care." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Then they went to the homes of the captain and other villagers. Everywhere they went, they were warmly received and thanked.
Every time Liu Si, Wang Hongbing, and Master Chen visited a house, Zhou Ziwen would stay for a while, chat with them, and connect with them.
After one lap, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters were very tired.
But this is not over yet.
When they got home, they hadn't started to rest yet.
Other people came to deliver rice dumplings to their family again.
Zhou Ziwen is the health worker in the village. People not only in Damazi Village, but also in several nearby villages also come to him for medical treatment.
In addition, he is the team leader of the mushroom planting base, growing mushrooms for the village and making a lot of money.
More people came to their house to deliver rice dumplings than the captain and Brother Wu’s family.
"Zhou Zhiqing, these are the rice dumplings made by my mother. You can try them." A young villager handed over a basket of rice dumplings.
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work, mother." Zhou Ziwen gratefully took the rice dumplings and smiled back.
"Brother Ziwen, these are the salted duck eggs I made myself. Try it and see if it tastes good." A young girl shyly handed Zhou Ziwen a few salted duck eggs.
"Okay, okay, I will definitely try it." Zhou Ziwen gently touched the little girl's head and took the salted duck egg.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi also helped to receive the guests. They also gratefully accepted the villagers' gifts and invited everyone to sit down in the house.
After a while, the living room and yard of Zhou Ziwen's house were filled with people.
Everyone talked to each other, chatting lively, and the yard was filled with laughter and laughter. (End of this chapter)
