The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Yan prepared a gift box of rice dumplings for Uncle Qian and asked Zhao Shiyun to deliver it to Lihua Lane in a donkey cart. He also gave him ten extra loose rice dumplings for Uncle Qian's family to eat. Uncle Qian was overjoyed and wanted to invite Zhao Shiyun to have tea.
"I'm busy in the shop. I'll bother you again next time." Zhao Shiyun declined politely, and Uncle Qian didn't force him.
There are more people buying rice dumplings today. I think it’s because those who bought them yesterday helped spread the word. The rice dumplings in the shop taste good too, so more people are buying them.
Lin Yan originally planned to make rice dumplings at home, but Zhou Chunlan came home early in the morning to help. With two grandmothers around, Yu Ge'er also felt at ease to follow him to the shop.
"Brother Yu, do you want to go watch the dragon boat race tomorrow on Dragon Boat Festival?" Lin Yan asked while packing the gift box.
"Okay, I heard about it too, and was just thinking of asking you if you guys would like to go."
"I plan to push the cart over there and sell rice dumplings. There are too many people over there, so I won't squeeze in for fear of causing trouble." After all, she is pregnant.
"How about making some drinks to sell? The weather is getting hotter." Yu Ge'er suggested.
"We haven't prepared this in advance, so let's make some mung bean soup and put it in the well to chill tonight. It will definitely make you feel refreshed when you drink it tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go back at noon and soak the beans in advance." The two of them agreed and continued to work on their work.
At this point, Li Yuemei and Zhou Chunlan were busy wrapping rice dumplings. Zhou Chunlan said, "My dear, do you have any meat at home? I wanted to make some stuffed tofu for Yan Ge'er, but unfortunately, we don't have any."
Li Yuemei frowned, "No, there is some bacon."
"It's okay. I'll prepare it at home another day and send it over." Zhou Chunlan comforted.
"My in-laws are busy here today, so you have to eat lunch and dinner before going back." Li Yuemei really enjoyed working with Zhou Chunlan. With someone to chat with, time passed by unknowingly.
Zhou Chunlan said she had cooked porridge at home, but Li Yuemei persuaded her, saying, "I'm either at home or busy in the shop every day, and I don't have much to talk about with the younger generation. It's a great honor for you to come here and chat with me. I'd like to keep you for a while."
Zhou Chunlan had no choice but to agree.
It was almost noon. Lin Yan was a little tired after working all day, so he lay down on the stone table in the backyard to rest. Zhao Shiyun saw him and took a coat. "The table is so cold, don't lie on it. Let me put my coat on you."
Lin Yan stood up and blinked, "Forget it, no more rest, get up and get busy."
Zhao Shiyun asked him to go to the door to replace Yu Ge'er. It was noon now and there were not so many people buying rice dumplings.
"Brother Yu, buy some meat when you go back later. My mom is making rice dumplings at home and she might want to make stuffed tofu for me, but we don't have any meat at home." Lin Yan instructed and took out some copper coins and handed them to Brother Yu. It can be said that the little brother is a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Although Yong Tau Foo is delicious, I'm tired of the ones who make it at home, and I haven't had it in a while. "Okay."
At noon, Yu Ge'er returned home. Amo and auntie were still making rice dumplings. "Auntie, my husband asked me to bring back some meat. He said he wanted to eat stuffed tofu."
Zhou Chunlan took it with a smile, "I was just saying I wanted to make it. You're so timely. I'll make it after I finish wrapping the rice dumplings."
"Brother Yu, go get the tofu. Don't let Dad sell it all."
"Okay." After saying that, he went there excitedly. He also wanted to come back and help make rice dumplings together.
