The happy life of the embroidered girl in space

Chapter 108 Parfait (2)
The days passed quickly, and it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, Hui Niang also took out the colorful thread and sachets that had been prepared a long time ago, one for each of the four children.Ning Yuyao smelled the smell of herbs that had increased in the air at some time, and felt the simple way of celebration in this era.

Of course, the Ning family participated in making zongzi. Ning Yuyao didn't know how to make zongzi before, mainly because she was single and had nothing to celebrate. At most, she bought some zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival for fun.So because of the participation of a group of people, the zongzi this time is not as exquisite as before, but is extraordinarily simple and affordable because of the shape and filling.It's a pity that Ning Yuyao doesn't like this kind of hard-to-digest food so much, and she only took a symbolic bite of the mushroom filling when eating rice dumplings.

After everyone finished eating the zongzi, everyone took a rest for a while, and then went out in a carriage to watch the dragon boat race. Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, the county magistrate will hold a grand ceremony on the largest and longest Yunshui River in the town. The event of 'Dragon Boat Race' is said to be very lively and spectacular.

Because Ning Yuyao was too young before, Hui Niang never took Ning Yuyao to see it, so this year Ning Yuyao decided to join in the fun together, and by the way brought the An family, mainly Ning Yuyao. Yuyao felt that it was necessary for the Ning family to show their presence in front of the Supreme Emperor, and they had never seen such a lively scene of dragon boat rowing and celebration in the closed pavilions before.

A group of people braved the scorching sun and came to the bank of Yunshui River. There were already many ordinary people standing on the bank. Ning Yuyao and the others found a place under a tree to stand there.The competition hadn't started yet, and the county magistrate Zhang Minghua didn't seem to come here yet. The river looked very wide, and four dragon boats were already lined up on the river.

Each boat is seven or eight meters long, and each boat has a small flag on the prow. The flag is marked with a number. There is also a big drum on each boat. Ning Yuyao knows that when she wants to come. Sometimes it is used to cheer drums during dragon boat races.

Ning Yuyao has never seen a scene like a "dragon boat race" in two lifetimes, so she is quite curious and looking forward to it.At first Ning Yuyao had been waiting with excitement, but after waiting for a long time, the game hadn't even started yet, but the crowd on the shore was getting more and more noisy.

The weather is unbearably hot, and today is just a coincidence. God seems to be against people. There is no wind in the air. Even though Ning Yuyao and the others are standing under the tree, they still feel extremely hot, and their mood is getting more and more irritable. .

Just when Ning Yuyao waited so patiently that she had almost disappeared, Zhang Minghua finally came leisurely with a group of shirtless and shirtless men, causing a commotion at the scene.

After Zhang Minghua and the others found the shadiest place to sit down, they said a few official words to the people present, and those shirtless men gradually boarded the dragon boat, and the race was about to begin.

With the bang of the gongs and drums in the competition, every dragon boat rushed out like an arrow, and the cheers and cheers of the common people on the shore also rang out.Seeing the almost identical paddling movements of the men on the boat, accompanied by the thundering drums of "boom, boom, boom", this kind of scene is really quite spectacular, and the atmosphere of the scene is slowly being driven stand up.

The dragon boat passed in front of them one by one. Ning Yuyao saw the blue veins protruding from the upper arms of those shirtless men, and her emotions rose accordingly, and she followed the people around them together Shouting and cheering, a little loli kept cheering with a soft voice, which made Li Shi like it more and more, why is this girl so cute.Ning Yuyao turned her head to look at her two elder brothers. Ning Yuji's expression was full of anticipation, and she still looked refined and refined like Ning's father, but her second elder brother kept yelling to the rhythm. The veins on his chest were all bulging, especially when he saw the boats falling behind, Ning Yulei looked like he wanted to jump off, grab the oars, and row by himself.

In the end, amidst the cheers of the common people, Dragon Boat No. 50 reached the finish line first and won the lottery given by Zhang Minghua—[-] taels of silver.

After watching the dragon boat race, the crowd on the shore gradually dispersed, and Ning Yuyao hurriedly took Hui Niang and the others back home.It was too hot, after returning home, the first thing she did was to take a shower and change clothes before going out, especially in such a scene today, they were already sweating profusely.

After taking a bath, Ning Yuyao still felt very stuffy when everyone was sitting in the main room. Not only she, but the Ning family also just took a bath, but they still looked extremely hot.

"The weather is so sweltering and unbearably hot, it looks like it's going to rain!" Mrs. Li hurriedly took a cattail fan and fanned Ning Yuyao four times. "Yes, I didn't expect it to be so hot in May. Sister Li, go and get some ice from the ice cellar. Put it in the room, it will be much cooler!" Hui Niang kept using a silk handkerchief to lightly Fanning, after listening to Li Shi's words, he responded like this.

Ning Yuyao was so hot that she felt uncomfortable all over, and when she heard what Hui Niang said, she agreed and said: "Yes, let's go get some ice and put it away, mother, let's make some ice food later, so It's cooler too."

"Success, let Aunt Li go for a run, and get it out later." Hui Niang looked at a group of men looking at her eagerly, and readily agreed, mainly because her daughter wanted to come up with something. The taste is not bad.

So Ning Yuyao devoted herself to using all means to calm the heat of the crowd, the first being diet.The weather is so hot, so Ning Yuyao decided to make ice cream.The reason is simple, this stuff is antipyretic and tastes sweet.There is no whipped cream here, and I don’t know how to make it myself, so I have to make low-fat ice cream, which is just healthy.

In the kitchen, Hui Niang moved quickly according to the method Ning Yuyao said.The mixture of egg yolk, goat's milk, and sugar slowly turned into a thick paste. It seems that the ice cream will be made successfully. Ning Yuyao thought to herself and hurriedly made some ice hockey balls with different flavors.

"Mother, just send this directly to the ice cellar to freeze." Ning Yuyao continued.

"Yaoyao, what's the name of what we're doing now?" Hui Niang asked curiously.

"Mom, don't you think it will become a parfait after we put it in the ice cellar?" Ning Yuyao responded eloquently.

In the afternoon, Ning Yuyao went to the ice cellar of Ning's family with Hui Niang, and took out the pot of "mixture" that had been frozen solid.Ning Yuyao was very happy, she succeeded, she did not expect it to be so simple.Ning Yuyao hurriedly urged Hui Niang to scoop out a piece with a shovel and put it on a plate: "Mother, how do you taste it?" After a lot of tossing, Hui Niang was always curious about the taste of this parfait. Putting the parfait into his mouth, the cool air permeated his whole body immediately, and he said happily: "Yaoyao, this parfait tastes really good, fragrant and smooth."
