Tofu Xishi: General Mo ran

Chapter 422 The Five-Day Covenant ([-])

In addition to being busy, Miao Douer had complained to An Qihe several times.No one told him to make an agreement five days later without even asking her!Although Miao Dou'er was quite angry at the time, after all she has experienced so much, her temper has improved a lot. Who would have thought that An Qihe's temper would be stronger and more impulsive than her this time.

However, after thinking about it later, I was relieved.

Decuilou has to fight sooner or later anyway, so it's good to put a little pressure on yourself.

An Qihe seemed to know that he had no lip. Although he was still full of confidence in the past few days, he knew that after Miao Douer had been busy all day, he would obediently massage Miao Douer.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May is also called "Calamus Festival" among the people.Legend has it that on this day all five poisons will be released, and every household needs to drive away evil spirits and avoid poisons.In Yifeng County, eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, hanging calamus on the side of the house, taking a bath with mugwort leaves, going to temples to worship Buddha to dispel evil spirits, etc., are all things that must be done.

Miao Dou'er and Aunt Xiao worked day and night, studied carefully for five days, and decided to launch two snacks.

The same is naturally a traditional zongzi, but this zongzi is different from ordinary zongzi.It is smaller than ordinary zongzi, and it is light and delicate, just enough for a woman's palm to hold tightly.Peel off the little zongzi carefully, and the fragrant and hot air immediately filled the face.

This is the Wufu red bean rice dumpling. After peeling off the rice dumpling, you can see the rotten boiled red beans mixed with glutinous rice, exuding a burst of glutinous fragrance.In particular, there is a lot of honey added to the bean sprouts, which makes people smell more attractive and tastes sweet but not greasy.

Red bean is said to have the effect of warding off evil spirits, warding off plague and avoiding epidemics. It is said that it is the thing that "plague ghosts" fear most. Today, red bean is used to make zongzi. The first is delicious, and the second is naturally auspicious.

There is also a kind of snack, which is a "peach crisp" that Miao Douer thought of after thinking about it.

Mahogany and peaches have been auspicious things since ancient times.Peach wood is also called "immortal wood", and Taoist priests hold peach wood swords to drive out ghosts.Peach is synonymous with longevity.In ancient times, it was customary to boil peaches into a gelatinous form and drink them as peach soup.

Miao Douer racked his brains and finally came up with an absolutely different approach.

The mold is made of peach wood, and there are not only walnut kernels in the peach cake, but also a lot of dried peach flesh.

The peach meat is smoked and roasted in the stove, and honey is constantly smeared on the surface during the roasting process, and it is baked over and over again until it is dry, and it becomes a candied fruit eaten in the previous life.

Using the chopped candied fruit as an auxiliary material, together with fresh walnut kernels, the peach crisp is rich in taste, not only crispy and delicious, but also has a strong peach fragrance mixed in it.

This dessert is truly peachy and crispy.

In order to hold these two snacks, Miao Douer spent a lot of money, found a special paper workshop, bought a lot of high-quality square paper, and specially made a very hard paper, which she planned to use Make cardboard boxes.

Leaving the paper shop, she asked someone to engrave a small chapter of Decuilou, and chose the elegant peach blossom pattern to engrave along with it. After engraving, Miao Douer used it to try it out, and she couldn't help laughing. Invisible, such a unique pattern, even if it is placed in modern times, it will definitely make people's eyes shine.

Miao Douer put three Wufu small bean dumplings and three pieces of peach crisps into a specially folded box, and then wrapped the box with special soft paper.
