Chapter 537 Who can compare to Shen Zhaonian
"It doesn't mean that eating Aizi will keep you from getting sick. It's just a good wish."
Chen Huazheng swallowed the mugwort cake in her mouth, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then continued to explain -
"Mugwort has the effects of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, removing dampness and relieving itching, and helping sleep. Mugwort glutinous rice cakes made with mugwort are not only delicious, but also have certain benefits for the body."
Around the Qingming Festival, mugwort is fresh and lush.
Hakka people like to make mugwort cakes with mugwort. There is also a folk saying that if you eat mugwort cakes around Qingming Festival, you will not get sick all year round.
The statement that Aizi is good for the health is not fabricated, but has a basis in fact.
The Compendium of Materia Medica has a very detailed record: "Mugwort leaves taste bitter, are slightly warm in nature, and can cure all diseases. In spring, pick young mugwort to cook dishes, or mix with dough to make them into pellets. Take three to five pellets each time before eating, and it can cure all bad qi."
Knowing the benefits of mugwort to the human body, Chen Huazheng always eats some mugwort rice cakes during the Qingming Festival every year.
Of course, she would not miss other Qingming Festival delicacies.
Shen Keheng nodded. So that's it.
He said, there is no reason why you won’t get sick at all if you eat mugwort rice cakes.
If that were the case, there would be no need for those clinics to open.
No one needs to see a doctor or buy medicine to treat illness, all they need to do is eat mugwort rice cakes.
Even the imperial doctors in the palace can return home to retire.
Shen Keheng was originally struggling over whether to eat the Ai Ci first or the Qingtuan first, but after hearing what Shen Huazheng said, he decisively chose the salty Ai Ci.
Since mugwort glutinous rice cake is good for the body, let’s eat it first.
Shen Keting was eating Pu Zi Cake with gusto. He couldn't help but smile after hearing the conversation between his younger brother and sister.
The third brother is still as curious as ever about everything.
In fact, it's quite interesting every time I see him getting to the bottom of things.
Shen Kesi also smiled and picked up an Aizi with sesame and peanut fillings with chopsticks, brought it to his mouth, and took a light bite.
The skin of Ai Ci is very soft and glutinous, and as fragrant and chewy as rice cake.
The sesame and peanut filling is sweet and delicious, and it is very tasty.
Mugwort is originally bitter, but the bitter taste is diluted after adding sweet fillings.
Under the gentle sweetness of the filling, the astringency brought by the mugwort is gradually defeated.
Eventually it completely dissipates, leaving only a refreshing fragrance in the mouth.
Shen Kesi is the least talkative among the four brothers and sisters of the Shen family. Every time the family gets together, he usually speaks a lot.
But he likes this feeling.
It feels really comfortable to do nothing and just quietly watch the interaction between family members.
Qingtuan and Aici are both freshly steamed out of the pot, but Zhou prefers Aici which has a chewier texture.
She first tasted the most classic black sesame and peanut filling, then picked up a salty one with chopsticks, brought it to her mouth, and took a small bite carefully.
The fragrance of glutinous rice is mixed with the aroma of mugwort. Among the soft, fragrant and chewy texture, you can also feel a subtle bitterness.
The bitterness is very light and not offensive, but adds a different flavor.
Chewing carefully, the bitterness in the mouth gradually dissipates, and a slight sweetness slowly emerges.
When you bite down again, the dried shrimp, mushroom and meat filling inside will fall into your mouth along with the mugwort rice cake skin, adding a lot of color to the mugwort rice cake.
As you chew, the complex aroma fills your entire mouth.
It makes people intoxicated and reluctant to leave.
Today is a holiday, and many court officials took advantage of the activities held in the food street to bring their families here to eat and shop.
There are also some people who are alone and do not want to be alone, so they travel together with other colleagues.
Xie Mi was disliked by his family, so he became one of these people.
They came to the Chunlei area in a mighty procession, chose a restaurant to sit down and were about to enjoy the food.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the Shen family having dinner.
Among them, Shen Zhaonian and Zhou, who were sitting next to each other, were particularly eye-catching.
These people are all lonely people, and they feel hurt every time they see such a warm and harmonious scene.
Especially when that person was Shen Zhaonian, everyone felt that the extent of their injuries was instantly magnified several times.
Shen Zhaonian's official position was not the highest, but there were still many people who envied and hated him privately.
Whenever people talk about Shen Zhaonian, they would lament the injustice of God.
If we really want to compare luck, who can compare to Shen Zhaonian?
He has a father-in-law who is a Grand Tutor, and a daughter who has made an exception and has a bright future by pursuing a career in officialdom.
My wife is dignified and beautiful, and my sons are all well-behaved.
Several people sighed softly in their hearts, exchanged glances with each other, and walked out of the store silently.
Anyway, the purpose of coming here today is to try every store in this area.
Go to another store first and come back later.
There is plenty of time today, and it is not important at this moment.
Shen Zhaonian was discussing with his family where to go next. He didn't know that several heartbroken colleagues had just come in silently and left silently.

"Well, I'll just say that this store I chose is OK."
Lord Jiang looked at Mo Zhishan with a smug look on his face.
Today he and Jiang Cheng came to the food street and happened to meet Mo Zhishan and Qin Jun.
Elder Jiang was very happy to see Mo Zhishan and said that he had been studying the new atlas for quite some time and it was a good opportunity for him to take them and their disciples to look for food together.
Before Mo Zhishan could react, he was dragged forward by Lord Jiang.
Jiang Cheng and Qin Jun were slightly startled, but quickly followed.
Mo Zhishan: "...More than okay, this place is simply perfect. Fortunately, I met you today, otherwise Wenhao and I would not know where to go."
"Hahaha, you've gone a bit too far."
Lord Jiang praised Mo Zhishan but he couldn't stop smiling.
In fact, not only was the store a good choice, he thought the location where they were sitting was also very good.
This store is quite big, and they sat by the window with a good view.
Not only can you see diners coming and going outside, but the air is also fresh.
Because it rained in the morning, the air still had a faint smell of grass and soil.
Coupled with the gentle spring breeze, it makes people feel very comfortable.
Jiang Cheng sat aside, speechless.
My grandfather is becoming more and more like a child as he grows older.
Alas, there is no other way. Even if he is like a child, he still needs to be held with care.
After all, he is his grandfather.
Qin Jun didn't have any ideas. He just wanted to taste the pickled pork and fresh green rice dumpling he ordered just now.
Last time, he went to Yipinlou for dinner with several colleagues from the Hanlin Academy, and someone happened to order pickled pork with preserved vegetables.
When Qin Jun first heard the name, he thought it wouldn’t taste very good.
Unexpectedly, he was amazed as soon as he took a bite.
I wonder what the delicious pickled pork with preserved vegetables would taste like if it were made into fillings and wrapped in green rice dumplings.
Pickled pork with preserved vegetables is full of the flavor of spring, and it is paired with green rice dumplings which are also full of the flavor of spring.
It should be more spring than spring, more fresh than fresh.
Although there were many customers in the restaurant, the waiters served the dishes very quickly.
Not long after, the food ordered by Mo Zhishan and Lord Jiang was served.
Xiao Er deftly placed the steamer on the tray on the table and then opened the lid.
"Dear guests, please enjoy your meal."
These dim sum have just been steamed. As soon as the lid of the steamer is opened, the fresh fragrance of grass leaves wafts out.
Soft, tender and cute fat balls appeared in front of everyone, shining with a very beautiful luster.
The Qingtuan is green and round and looks delicious.
Although Ai Ci is also green in color, full of spring flavor, it is made into various shapes to distinguish the taste.
It makes people's eyes light up.
It is just an ordinary dining table in front of you, and it may even look a bit simple in the eyes of some dignitaries.
But because of the spring delicacies presented by the waiter, the table was decorated to be particularly attractive.
Just by looking at the appearance of these snacks and smelling the charming aroma, Lord Jiang and his companions felt that their saliva was about to flow.
Elder Jiang took up the chopsticks first: "Hurry up and try it. We'll have to go somewhere else after we finish eating."
Although freshly steamed green rice dumplings are a bit sticky, they will become chewy when cooled down.
But Lord Jiang still thinks that freshly made green rice dumplings are the most fragrant.
Anyway, no matter whether others would wait until the food cools down before eating it, he couldn't wait at all.
Others were just like Lord Jiang. They had no self-control at all when faced with delicious food.
Just when everyone picked up their chopsticks, Lord Jiang seemed to have thought of something -
"The food court also launched a food called sesame cakes during this event. It looks different from the sesame cakes we usually eat. I plan to go over and try it later."
As he said that, he looked at Mo Zhishan: "Do you want to join us?"
This time, the brochure published by the food court was too thick, and Mo Zhishan hadn’t finished reading it all.
He thought about it and said, "Okay, let's go together."
After agreeing on the next check-in location, Jiang Ge Lao and his friends happily stretched out their chopsticks to their favorite dim sum.
Lord Jiang picked up a green dumpling stuffed with egg yolk and pork floss with chopsticks and brought it in front of him.
Smelling the pleasant fragrance, he took a bite.
The skin of the green rice dumpling is very soft and sticky, and it sticks to each other.
The filling inside is very generous, and as soon as you take a bite, you can taste the egg yolk and pork floss filling.
The egg yolk is fresh, fragrant and mellow, with a unique aroma.
The meat floss has a dense texture and an enticing bacon aroma.
It makes people want to eat one bite after another and can't stop eating at all.
Mo Zhishan was also eating the salty black bean and mugwort rice cake happily, looking like he was enjoying it.
I didn’t expect that the filling made from black-eyed peas would go so well with the mugwort rice cake skin.
Mo Zhishan prefers Ai Ci to Qingtuan.
The skin of Aizi tastes tougher and chewier.
It feels so comfortable to eat spring into your stomach in one bite.
It is really pleasant to eat an mugwort cake and then drink a cup of hot spring tea.
It is both refreshing and warm.
It drove away the slight coolness brought by the drizzle just now.
Mo Zhishan held the teacup and looked out the window.
Everything in spring seems to be full of vitality.
Even the various foods of this season have become full of vitality.
