Extra: What qualifications does he have to advise others?
"Great, it's really great. I didn't expect that there are not only sweet and salty zongzi, but also sweet and salty zongzi."
"I've lived to this age and thought I'd seen all the good things. I didn't expect to always get surprises from Master Xiao Shen."
"Come on, let's taste this rice dumpling. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
In another private room with a river view in Yipin Building, Lord Jiang and Mo Zhishan were sitting at the table.
While tasting the rice dumplings in front of me, I watched the dragon boat race.
Lord Jiang picked up his chopsticks happily and began to taste the double-combination rice dumplings in the bowl.
Lord Xiao Shen was really good at predicting things. He knew that they would worry about whether to eat the sweet or salty rice dumplings first.
I actually came up with such a good idea and made a double-combination mandarin duck rice dumpling with both salty and sweet fillings.
One rice dumpling with two flavors. No need to worry about which one to eat.
Mo Zhishan also picked up a double-mixed mandarin duck rice dumpling and gently peeled off the leaves. A mixture of salty and sweet aromas immediately hit his nose.
He put the rice dumpling in the bowl and looked at it carefully.
The double-mixed mandarin duck rice dumpling is larger than the usual rice dumplings and looks a little different from other rice dumplings. According to the waiter, the ratio of the filling in the rice dumpling is two-thirds salty filling and one-third sweet filling.
The distinct glutinous rice grains are wrapped with various fillings, including mushrooms, dried shrimps, abalone, scallops, pork belly, etc.
The originally snow-white glutinous rice is soaked in salted egg yolk and gravy, becoming shiny and oily.
The glutinous rice in the sweet rice dumpling is still as crystal clear as pearls, and is filled with red dates, chestnuts and lotus seeds.
One corner is filled with red bean paste, which contrasts sharply with the salty filling.
The distinction is clear, and you can tell at a glance which is the sweet filling and which is the salty one.
Mo Zhishan wiped his hands with a wet towel beside him, then picked up the chopsticks and began to taste the food.
The marinated pork belly is full of flavor and is fatty but not greasy.
The abalone is crispy, tender and chewy, the dried shrimp and scallops are extremely sweet, and even the sautéed mushrooms have a unique aroma.
Paired with the rich and soft salted egg yolk and the fragrance of glutinous rice, the taste is simply amazing.
As you chew it, the fresh fragrance spreads between your lips and teeth, and an enticing salty aroma goes straight to the top of your head.
The fragrance of glutinous rice, the aroma of meat, the aroma of mushrooms, and the deliciousness of seafood collide together to create a unique taste.
The more you eat it, the more delicious it tastes, and the more addictive it becomes.
Mo Zhishan swallowed the rice dumpling in his mouth with satisfaction and began to taste the sweet part.
The sweet bean paste mixed with glutinous rice enters your mouth, and it feels like biting into a soft cloud.
The lotus seeds have a soft and glutinous texture, and the red dates and chestnuts are just the right amount of sweet without being too sweet.
When you take a bite, you can taste the sweetness and the slightly salty and glutinous fragrance without any conflict.
It looks like just an ordinary rice dumpling, but it actually contains a secret.
Half is salty and delicious, and half is sweet and soft.
It's really delicious~~
Lord Jiang also ate the rice dumplings in the bowl bite by bite, enjoying it very much.
As he was eating, he suddenly picked up a piece of rice dumpling with the "intersection" of salty and sweet fillings with his chopsticks, put it into his mouth, and savored it carefully.
The feeling of eating the rice dumplings with salty and sweet fillings together is really wonderful.
As you chew, the sweet and salty tastes collide in your mouth.
The sweetness of the sweet filling just relieves the greasiness of the salty rice dumpling, while the greasiness of the salty rice dumpling just reduces the stickiness of the sweet rice dumpling.
The two complement each other and achieve a balance.
The two seemingly opposing tastes are combined in harmony without any sense of disobedience.
Lord Jiang swallowed the rice dumpling in his mouth in a good mood, then picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Really delicious.
Fortunately, he had someone book this private room and the rice dumpling banquet in advance, otherwise he would not have been able to taste such delicious rice dumplings.
Putting down the teacup, Lord Jiang looked out the window.
Judging from the situation, the game should be decided soon.
After a while, the game was over and Wenyuan and his friends came here to eat rice dumplings.
*
Accompanied by the passionate drum beats and the cheers of the audience on both sides of the river, dozens of dragon boats on the river were rushing forward.
At first everyone's speed was about the same, but gradually two teams stood out.
That is the red dragon boat team composed of Shen Keting and his colleagues and the green dragon boat team composed of Shen Kesi, Shen Keheng, Xue Cong and Zhou Zeyan.
The two dragon boats sailed side by side, majestically and proudly, cutting through the waves.
Jiang Cheng didn't know that his grandfather was talking about him. He was paddling the boat hard.
He had participated in dragon boat races in previous years, but he had never been as active as this time.
Princess Lejia ate the rice dumplings while looking at the river. "I didn't expect that Zhou Zeyan, who looks so unruly on weekdays, can row a dragon boat in a very professional manner."
Zhou Ying laughed and said, "He always gives up."
Shen Huazheng also looked out the window, a hint of nostalgia flashing across her eyes.
In her original world, every Dragon Boat Festival she would go to watch the dragon boat race and eat dragon boat rice with her grandparents.
When she was young, her grandfather would serve as the helmsman on the dragon boat.
Later, as my grandfather got older, he no longer participated in dragon boat races.
Chen Huazheng has also seen photos of her grandfather rowing dragon boats when he was young.
Grandma said that grandpa was very stubborn when he was young.
His dragon boat team always gets in the top three every year.
Suddenly there was a cheer from downstairs, and Shen Huazheng came back to her senses from the recollection of the past.
She looked towards the river and saw that the green dragon boat team, which had been running at a similar speed to the red dragon boat team just now, had been left far behind.
The red dragon boat team took the lead and rushed towards the finish line like an arrow.
Princess Lejia: "Zheng Zheng, your eldest brother's team won first place!!"
Zhou Ying was also very happy: "Your Majesty did not come to watch the game this year, but the first-place team can receive rewards from the palace."
Shen Huazheng listened to the cheers and applause that came one after another, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
The festive atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival in Daliang is also quite strong.
Lord Jiang looked at his grandson who came ashore amid the cheers of the audience, and a smile appeared on his face.
Mo Zhishan, who was standing by, also smiled and said, "Wenyuan has grown up safely and healthily now. You should relax now. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Elder Jiang seemed to have thought of something, his eyes slightly reddened: "As long as he is happy every day, I will be relieved."
Now the only thing left is to watch my grandson get married.
As long as his grandson is well, he will have given an explanation to his son and daughter-in-law.
Mo Zhishan sighed in his heart and pretended not to notice the tears flashing in Lord Jiang's eyes.
Originally Jiang Cheng had a younger brother.
Jiang Chengyan, the son of Lord Jiang, and his family of four encountered a plague while they were exiled, and only Jiang Cheng, who was only five years old, survived.
After returning to the capital, Jiang Cheng didn't speak for a long time.
The imperial physician said that he was frightened and immersed in the grief of his parents' death.
One day, Jiang Cheng caught a cold at night and had a high fever. When he woke up, he had forgotten many things.
Since then, Jiang Cheng seemed like a different person.
I smile every day and have no worries at all.
Elder Jiang's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down, but the fear of losing his loved ones had already taken root in his heart, becoming an indelible shadow.
He took Jiang Cheng with him and took care of him personally.
He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, his grandson would leave him.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng grew up healthily and stayed with Lord Jiang all the time, otherwise he might not have been able to hold on.
Mo Zhishan opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Everyone has a hurdle in their heart that they can't overcome.
What qualifications does he have to advise others?
