Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 4544 Suspended Heart
Yang Huazhong thought about it for a while, and said: "We should go and have a look. As the owner, we must cherish the long-term workers. Besides, our identities on the surface are the relationship between the owner and the long-term workers, but we are also villagers from ten miles and eight villages."

Mrs. Sun nodded: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. After the Dragon Boat Festival, we have to visit the in-laws in Xiangjiazhuang first. After seeing the in-laws, you can go to Jinshan and see what we can do to help him."

Yang Huazhong made a 'hmm' sound.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Father, when you go to see it, remember to tell me this. If I happen to be free, I'll go and see what's going on together."

Yang Huazhong nodded: "Good!"

After noon, Luo Fengtang came back from the county seat, and brought back a carriage full of gifts.

So, on the afternoon before the Dragon Boat Festival, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang spent time counting gifts in the house...

When Luo Baobao came back from school at night and saw the surprise her parents had prepared for her, hey, the little girl almost jumped into the sky.

During dinner, Blacksmith Luo was a little absent-minded, and he hesitated to speak several times.

Luo Fengtang was busy picking fish bones for his daughter, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Blacksmith Luo's anomalies.

On the contrary, Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are both women, and they are as careful as silk.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged glances quietly, Wang Cuilian moved her lips a few times, and Yang Ruoqing immediately understood the hint.

It turned out that Blacksmith Luo was a little elusive about the affairs of the Zhou family.

Blacksmith Luo is the eldest brother of Luo Daye's natal family, and is also Luo Daye's natal family.

Leaving aside the years before Luo Fengtang made his fortune, since Zhou Wang and Xiaohuan took charge of the family, the Luo family and the Zhou family have rekindled their friendship.

During festivals and festivals, Zhou Wang, the elder nephew, would visit his uncle and give him gifts, which is also a custom in this area.

But on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival this year, there was no one from the Zhou family. This unusual behavior made Blacksmith Luo a little worried.

"Uncle, is there something you're holding back? If there's anything, you can just say it, let's think about it together." Yang Ruoqing said with a concerned expression.

Blacksmith Luo looked up at Yang Ruoqing, shook his head again, and sighed secretly.

Wang Cuilian also took advantage of the situation and said: "There are no outsiders here, they are all children of the family, so just say what you have to say, seeing how preoccupied you are, we are not at ease!"

Blacksmith Luo smiled wryly, thinking that he was covering up well, so it turned out that the two of them had seen through it?

"Hey, it's just for the Zhou family." Blacksmith Luo said.

At this time, Luo Fengtang was also attracted by the conversation here, he turned his head to look at Blacksmith Luo, and asked in surprise, "What happened to my aunt's house?"

Blacksmith Luo said to Luo Fengtang: "I just don't know if something happened to their family, no, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, according to the usual habits, Zhou Wang will come here no matter what."

Luo Fengtang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yang Ruoqing with a questioning look.

He went to the county early in the morning and didn't come home until the afternoon. He thought that the Zhou family had already come and gone back, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"No one came." Yang Ruoqing said to Luo Fengtang.

"Maybe it's something temporary, it doesn't matter if it's a year away, we are real relatives, don't care about those." Luo Fengtang said very open-minded.

Blacksmith Luo nodded: "I don't care about that, I just think that something happened behind their abnormal behavior?"

Wang Cuilian also said: "Well, Zhou Wang and Xiaohuan are both people who pay attention to etiquette. They have never made a mistake in the past few years."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Uncle, if you are worried, go to Zhoujia Village tomorrow to have a look."

Blacksmith Luo thought about it, and said: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival... let's eat first, I will think about it at night, let's not talk about it."

Everyone is savvy and doesn't talk about it anymore.

When I woke up, it was the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May.

Yang Ruoqing deliberately got up earlier than usual, and went to the field to cut a large bundle of calamus and wormwood.

I wanted to send some to Mrs. Sun and the others, but I met Mrs. Sun on the way, and Mrs. Sun cut more than her.

"Qing'er, you came out to cut it too? I prepared it for your old Luo family!" Sun said with a smile.

Yang Ruoqing also smiled: "It's the holidays today, I won't stay in bed. Mother, I have them here, so you can give the extra wormwood and calamus to my aunt and the others!"

Sun nodded: "I'll send some to your fifth aunt later."

Back home, Wang Cuilian cooked breakfast in the backyard, and Yang Ruoqing planted wormwood and calamus all over the doors and windows side by side.

Immediately, there was a special fragrance in the air, which made people feel refreshed and opened the spirit platform.

Luo Fengtang took Luo Baobao to the backyard to practice boxing. Yang Ruoqing came to the kitchen and saw Wang Cuilian cooking millet porridge and deep-fried crisps. I want to make mugwort leaf cake, and I have mugwort leaf fruit similar to Qingming fruit to eat."

Wang Cuilian smiled and said, "I don't really know how to do the things you mentioned. If you know how to do it, then do it and I'll help you."

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "You don't need to fight, you just concentrate on deep-fried horn crisps, auntie. This is what you are best at, auntie, and we all love it!"

These words made Wang Cuilian even more motivated.

"As long as you like it, I kneaded the pastry last night. The wheat flour and this oil are our harvest this year. I guarantee that the fried puff pastry tastes good!"

Corner crisps are a kind of snack that people in the Mianniu Mountain area like during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Made with wheat flour, it is fragrant, crunchy, and slightly sweet.

As for the appearance, it is a bit diverse, mainly depends on the mood of the housewife

It's a bit like 'Miao Crisp', but the Miao Crisp is bigger.

Some are like 'cat's ears', some are like 'spicy crispy rice'...

All in all, it's delicious.

Yang Ruoqing picked some mugwort leaves, washed them and scalded them with hot water in a pot to make them softer and also sterilize them.

Then smash the mugwort leaves into a green paste.

Knead wheat flour into the batter and start kneading into a green dough.

Next, red dates and red beans are boiled together, and when they are boiled, they are also mashed into mud, and the mud is kneaded into small balls.

This is her homemade stuffing. The stuffing is wrapped with green moxa leaf noodles, just like making glutinous rice balls.

One wave is steamed in a steamer, the other wave is fried in an oil pan, and finally put on a plate separately, which is eye-catching and delicious.

The stuffing is sweet but not greasy, because there is no sugar at all, and the faint sweetness comes purely from the red dates and red beans themselves, so there is no fear that Luo Baobao's greedy mouth will cause toothache.

And the unique fresh fragrance of mugwort leaves is released more and more heartily after being steamed and fried at high temperature.

Let people take a bite and be intoxicated by it. In the next long year, whenever you smell the scent of wormwood, you will recall the warmth brought by the traditional festival of the Dragon Boat Festival...
