With the help of Chen Zhaodi, Tang Yaoyao and others, the rice dumplings were wrapped quickly.
There are rice dumplings filled with red dates and red beans, rice dumplings filled with salted egg yolks and bacon, rice dumplings filled with pine nuts and wild mushrooms, rice dumplings filled with chestnuts and walnuts, and rice dumplings filled with wolfberries and astragalus.
There are a lot of different kinds of rice dumplings.
In addition, Zhou Ziwen also plans to make some salted duck eggs and mung bean cakes.
The salted duck eggs are ready-made and have been pickled in advance, so you just need to boil them.
Mung bean cake is also easy to make.
With so many of them busy for the whole morning, the preparations are almost done.
"Okay, it's almost time to steam the dumplings."
Zhou Ziwen clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"Hehe, hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait to eat the rice dumplings."
Tang Yaoyao urged.
"Haha, good things are never too late."
Despite saying this, Zhou Ziwen still quickly put the wrapped dumplings into the pot and started steaming them.
Next to her, Chen Shiying was steaming the mung bean paste.
When the mung bean paste is almost steamed, Chen Shiying takes it out and starts the final process.
The steamed mung bean paste needs to be mixed with sugar and pork.
After stirring evenly, press it into a mold to make mung bean cakes with regular shapes and attractive colors.
"The mung bean cake is ready, come and try it!" 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.
The mung bean cake melts in your mouth, is sweet but not greasy, and has the fragrance of mung beans, winning unanimous praise from everyone.
"Wow, Sister Shiying, your cooking skills are 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 tastes better than those sold outside."
Zhou Ziwen watched this scene with a smile.
Chen Shiying's cooking skills were personally trained by him.
In addition, she loves this and has devoted herself to studying it, and her skills are no worse than those of hotel chefs.
It takes some time to steam and cook rice dumplings, so everyone uses this time 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 also contributed their own specialties.
In a short while, the table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.
In addition to rice dumplings and mung bean cakes, there are also salted duck eggs, cold cucumbers, pickled fish, etc. It is very rich.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's come and have dinner!" Zhou Ziwen invited everyone to sit down and prepare to start the Dragon Boat Festival lunch.
Everyone sat around the dining table, enjoying the delicious food and chatting about family matters. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant.
Laughter and joyful chatter could be heard from the yard from time to time, making this Dragon Boat Festival full of joy and warmth.
Speaking of which, this is their first Dragon Boat Festival since they went to the countryside.
Looking at the lively scene, Zhou Ziwen missed his family a little.
His parents, brothers and sisters, and his little sister with whom he has the best relationship.
There are also nephews and nieces who were born not long ago.
Thinking of his relatives far away, Zhou Ziwen also felt a little emotional.
However, looking at the two sisters beside him, Zhou Ziwen's mood improved again.
"Come on, don't be polite, eat more." Zhou Ziwen entertained everyone warmly.
These educated youth who went to the countryside are now banding together for warmth.
"I had a great Dragon Boat Festival!" Tang Yaoyao said with a smile.
She was very fortunate to meet like-minded friends like Zhou Ziwen after going to the countryside.
She still remembers that when she first went to the countryside, she was pessimistic.
Shen Zhaodi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, it feels very happy to celebrate the festival with everyone."
As she said this, she glanced at Zhou Ziwen subtly.
Zhou Ziwen had a smile on his face, and 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, this was also due to Zhou Ziwen and Shen Zhaodi's good concealment.
They never acted any different in front of other people.
After a happy meal, everyone was full.
Everyone lay on the chairs and basked in the sun.
After they had rested for a while, they cleaned up the dishes with the Chen sisters.
"Sister, Yiyi, let's give the rice dumplings to Uncle Wu and the others first!"
After they had packed up, Zhou Ziwen spoke.
Wu Dagang and the team leader took good care of Zhou Ziwen and always treated him as a junior.
There are also Liu Si, Wang Hongbing, Zhu Jianguo and others.
Unknowingly, Zhou Ziwen had a lot of connections in Dabazi Village.
"Well, let me share the rice dumplings and mung bean cakes first."
Chen Shiying nodded.
Chen Shiying deftly divided the rice dumplings and mung bean cakes into several portions, carefully packaging each portion to ensure that they were both beautiful and presentable when sent out.
"Ziwen, is this okay?" Chen Shiying showed Zhou Ziwen the gifts that had been distributed.
Zhou Ziwen took a look and nodded in praise: "Very good, sister, I trust you to do the work."
"Then let's set off, finish the delivery early, and come back to rest early." 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. When Wu Dagang saw the gifts sent by Zhou Ziwen and others, he couldn't stop smiling.
"Ziwen, you are so polite that you even specially sent me rice dumplings." Wu Dagang accepted the gift and said gratefully.
"Uncle Wu, this is what we should do. Thank you for your care all the time." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Then they went to the homes of the team leader and other villagers. Wherever they went, they were warmly received and thanked.
Liu Si, Wang Hongbing, Master Chen, every time Zhou Ziwen visited a house, he would stay for a while to chat with them and build relationships.
After one round, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters were very tired.
But that’s not all.
When they got home, they hadn't started to rest yet.
Others came to bring rice dumplings to their house again.
Zhou Ziwen is the village health worker. People from not only Dabazi Village but also several nearby villages have come to him for medical treatment.
In addition, he is the team leader of the mushroom cultivation base, growing mushrooms for the village and making a lot of money.
There were more people coming to their house to deliver rice dumplings than to the captain's and Brother Wu's families.
"Zhou Zhiqing, these are the rice dumplings my mother made. Try them." A young villager handed over a basket of rice dumplings.
"Thank you, your mother has worked hard." Zhou Ziwen took the rice dumplings gratefully and smiled back.
"Brother Ziwen, these are the salted duck eggs I made myself. Try them and see if they taste 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 were also there to help with the reception. They also gratefully accepted the villagers' gifts and invited everyone to come into the house and sit down.
Soon, Zhou Ziwen's living room and yard were full of people.
Everyone chatted animatedly, the courtyard filled with laughter. (End of this chapter)
