It’s a new week, please give me everything. Anyway, just throw them all over, you can never have too much stupid wine, haha!
************************
Old Mrs. Jin smiled from ear to ear. By this time, all the women in the hall had finished giving their gifts, and only Fu Qiuning was left. She was nominally Jin Fengju's first wife, so she should have been the first to say it, but Jiang Wanying obviously wanted to give her a blow and deliberately said it before her, and Fu Qiuning didn't want to be in the limelight, not to mention compared with those expensive gifts. Bi, my own rice dumplings are not qualified to be in the limelight. Seeing that everyone had finished reporting at this time, she came forward with her two children, Yingying bowed and said: "I am unfilial, thinking that since it is the Dragon Boat Festival, the most suitable thing for the occasion is naturally rice dumplings, so I packed a few boxes with my own hands. It’s better not to dislike it, ancestors.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of snickers all around. Jin Fengju was the only one who didn't speak or smile, just stood there and stared at her back. He knew that Fu Qiuning was not a simple woman. When he saw her face as usual in the face of ridicule, he couldn't help but sigh that this was the real way of being unfazed. Even if he were in her situation, would he be able to respond naturally like this? After asking, there was no answer.
"I thought it was something strange, but it turned out to be rice dumplings. How dare you bring them out? Everyone in the house ate them." But there was a chuckle, and it turned out that Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sarcastic. Jin Fengju glanced at her without saying anything, but still turned his head to see how Fu Qiuning would respond.
But this time, before Fu Qiuning could answer, Jin Zangfeng stepped forward and said respectfully: "Old ancestor, my mother's craftsmanship is so skillful. These rice dumplings are not the ordinary date rice dumplings or meat rice dumplings, but various kinds. There are egg yolks, There are also bean paste and jujube paste, which taste very good. We all like to eat them, and our ancestors must have liked them too."
If these words were said by Fu Qiuning, it would be a sophistry out of desperation, but if it was said sincerely by an eight-year-old child, it would only sound sincere. Without waiting for Mrs. Jiang to speak, Mrs. Jin smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I have never eaten rice dumplings with egg yolk and bean paste fillings. I once heard someone say that they are common in the south." I don't believe it with these rice dumplings, thinking how can these things be put into the rice dumplings? Now that your mother has this filial piety, she thought of it and gave it to me to try. After talking for a long time, it was just right. A little hungry."
Mrs. Jin said this, which really gave Fu Qiuning a lot of face. She didn't even look at so many expensive gifts. Nowadays, some rice dumplings are actually wanted to be tasted in public. Isn't this extremely rare? For a time, Fu Qiuning really became the center of attention. All those envious, jealous, and disdainful eyes were directed at her. However, although she sighed in her heart, she just pretended not to see it on her face and waited for someone to bring the rice dumplings. I opened the box with my own hands and peeled a rice dumpling for the old lady. There was already a maid waiting with a bowl. She took the rice dumplings and brought them to the old lady.
"Well, this is stuffed with egg yolk, right? Not to mention, the taste is decent and quite unique." Mrs. Jin originally planned to just try it briefly in order to avoid embarrassing Fu Qiuning, but she didn't expect that after taking two bites, she felt that the taste was really good. Yes, when I took another bite, I got the egg yolk. For a while, the salty, fragrant and various flavors came together, and I couldn't help but praise it.
Fu Qiuning breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that there were no egg yolk rice dumplings in the north in this fictional era. But I feel relieved when I think about it. I remember that when I was a child in my previous life, my aunt and uncle’s house in the north did not have egg yolk rice dumplings. It was only later that as the economy developed better and better, and goods from the north and the south began to circulate, so they became available in the north. These rice dumplings with different fillings also appear on the dining table. At this time, traffic was blocked, and the food and customs between the north and the south were very different. It is normal that it did not spread in the north.
At that moment, the old lady ordered the rice dumplings to be distributed and everyone was asked to try them. Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Wanying and others were not impressed. She secretly thought that it was just a coincidence that she came up with such an idea that could please everyone without spending money. What's the matter? ? Mrs. Fang and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. He, however, expressed their sincere praise. The old lady then said: "Okay, there's not much in total. I'll pass it on to you. I only took half the plate here. Fengju, please stop. If you want to eat in the future, you don't care if your wife has to go. Don't tell me how much you'll do." A few of you came to show filial piety to me, but you have the nerve to eat from me. Fortunately, I just said you were filial, but now I want to take back all these words."
Everyone laughed as he spoke. At this moment, Jin Zangfeng took out another thing from his arms. It was flat at first glance, but after he fiddled with it a few times, those straw-like things started to stand up. It is a dragon boat made of green grass and willow twigs, decorated with a few broken lotus leaves. There are also little people made of straw poles paddling in the boat.
Even Fu Qiuning didn't know about this thing. He opened his mouth in surprise and looked at Yu Jie and Yu Niang. He saw surprise on their faces, obviously they didn't know either. But Jin Zangfeng took a step forward and said: "This is the first time for my grandson to meet my grandma, and I don't have anything to give him. After thinking about it, my grandma has been blessed with great wealth and wealth throughout her life. Is there anything valuable she hasn't seen? It's not bad for us either." A little something, so my grandson was bold and made this dragon boat with his sister using straw branches, lotus leaves, and I beg my grandma, for the sake of our filial piety, not to despise the objects as vulgar." After saying this, he lowered his head. , seemed to be a little embarrassed and said: "This is a little gadget I learned from Yujie that day. I haven't done it for two or three years now. My hands are a little raw and I can't do it well. Don't make me laugh."
"Oh, this dragon boat is exquisitely made. If it's not good, where can I find one?" Mrs. Fang clasped her hands in admiration, seemingly not seeing Mrs. Jiang's look over her, and smiled at Old Mrs. Jin: "My ancestors are so lucky. These two children are really sensible. I look at the whole family, including our family, but none of them are as sensible as them. Just look at this dragon boat and you will know how much it cost." thought."
Mrs. Jin also smiled from ear to ear and waved: "Come forward quickly and let me take a good look. Oh, even though this is a plant and wood thing, it looks like a lot of work has been done. After that, I saw Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao came forward and said to the two children beside her: "Zhangyi, Xiuru, make room for your brothers and sisters. "
Jin Zhenyi and Jin Xiuru blushed, moved their places, and looked at Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao with fire in their eyes. However, the two brothers and sisters didn't seem to notice it at all. They thanked her solemnly and sat down next to the old lady with a smile. She asked curiously: "I just saw you carrying it in your arms. When you took it out, it was flat. Where did it move?" , turned into a big ship all of a sudden?" (To be continued)
