During the Dragon Boat Festival the day before yesterday, Cheng zhaomei and Cheng Han came to deliver the New Years gift. As usual, Yuan Zhou returned some of the dumplings he made for them. At that time, Cheng zhaomei even said that she would make some dumplings for them if he had any inspiration after eating the dumplings. It seemed that this was the case.
Cheng zhaomei wasnt the only one who delivered the gifts during the Dragon Boat Festival. The other registered disciples of Yuan Zhou had all come to deliver the gifts personally. They might not be there personally, but the gifts would definitely be there.
By the way, something happened during this period. Zhang Longquan and Huang Gangs fight had come to an end, and Song Ming had officially handed over the position of Chairman of Cantonese cuisine to Huang Gang.
Song Ming would only be the Vice-President of the chefs a.s.sociation. When Zhou s.h.i.+jie saw this scene, he also had the idea of pa.s.sing down the position of the chairman of Shandong cuisine.
Lets continue talking about the rice dumplings. Not only the returning gift rice dumplings, he also made 1000 rice dumplings and distributed them to the customers during the Dragon Boat Festival. There were sweet ones, salty ones, Southern rice dumplings, Northern rice dumplings, and everything. Although 1000 rice dumplings were not a lot, they were all wrapped by Yuan Zhou himself and the ingredients were provided by the system.
The customers who received the dumplings were really happy. Many of them couldnt wait to get the dumplings and ate them immediately, such as Wu Hai.
Yuan Zhou also realized one thing. Some people had a high EQ since they were young.
Xiong nengxiong also got two zongzi and then went to Wu Hai and Jiang Changxi.
Brother Wu Hai, thank you so much for taking care of me. This dumpling is for you. Xiong nengxiong said.
Upon hearing that, Wu Hai immediately put the zongzi back into his pocket. He was still wearing his pajamas and said with a smile,Hahaha, how can I accept that?
Even if he had a girlfriend, Wu Hai would still go out in his pajamas. On the other hand, hairy bear always looked pretty every time he went out, which made people feel that it didnt match with him.
However, Mao Xiong did not say anything. In her words,Big brother hai already has a girlfriend, so why is he still dressed up so handsomely?
Theres nothing to be embarra.s.sed about. This is also a gift from uncle Yuan Zhou. Im just presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers. Besides, I should also thank uncle Yuan Zhou. However, uncle Yuan Zhou made this dumpling himself. Therefore, I thought of some other ways. Xiong nengxiong said.
What is it? As it was related to Yuan Zhou, Wu Hai still asked.
Im going to give uncle Yuan Zhou 18888 paper cranes and wish you all the best. Xiong nengxiong said.
How many thousand paper cranes? Wu Hai was dumbfounded.
18888 paper cranes, Xiong nengxiong repeated.
The cost is not small. Wu Hai didnt think that all paper cranes could be folded by bears. He was friends with the brat after all. Naturally, the brat must have used some method to hire cheap labor, such as his cla.s.smates, to help him fold the paper. However, the paper cost 18888 Yuan to fold.
It doesnt cost much. I organized a paper crane compet.i.tion between four or five schools. The person who can fold the most paper cranes in the time will win the champions.h.i.+p and get a 200 yuan prize. There are quite a lot of people who partic.i.p.ated.
Xiong nengxiong said,the other students who didnt win also folded a lot, but the paper cranes are useless other than giving gifts. Many people will throw them away after a period of time, or after they are crushed, they will be thrown away. So I bought some small snacks for an equivalent exchange. The whole cost was less than 500 yuan.
Compared to what uncle Yuan Zhou helped me with, this is nothing. Xiong nengxiong concluded.
Wu Hai stroked his chin. He had thought that the devilish brat would only exploit labor force in the future, but he didnt expect that the raw materials would also be exploited.
It was a gimmick to attract students to buy the materials and fold them themselves. In the end, they would buy them back at an extremely low price. For many people, the most important thing in folding paper cranes was the process.
Actually, Wu Hai didnt think much about it. The best thing about naughty kids wasnt the application of this method, but the fact that they could easily initiate such activities in several schools.
Its too troublesome. Wu Hai pouted his lips. Even if the paper cranes cost one Yuan each, it was still not expensive for Wu Hai.
The devilish brat walked away silently. Ever since the good or bad math incident last time, he had never mentioned money to Wu Hai again.
After Wu Hai was Jiang Changxi.
Sister Jiang, this is the rice dumpling that uncle Yuan Zhou gave me. Im offering it to you as a gift. Thank you for your investment. Xiong nengxiong said to Jiang Changxi while holding another rice dumpling.
Then I wont be polite. Jiang Changxi received the zongzi with a smile.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Wuhai zongzi was the most eaten, because Zheng Jiawei also gave him a portion.
Of course, apart from giving gifts to peers, he also gave gifts to the elders. Yuan Zhou also personally sent the festival gifts to Carpenter Lian and Mr. MA.
The festival naturally had a strong festive atmosphere.
Cheng zhaomei carefully opened the lid of the bamboo basket and revealed the contents. It was indeed a cooked zongzi. It was still steaming. It was obviously prepared before they left.
Looking at the shape, it was a triangular kun this time.
Master, these are the zongzi I made today, but its better than the ones I sent before. I got the inspiration from eating masters Red bean Ruyi zongzi. Would you like to try it? Cheng zhaomei said carefully.
Alright, let me see. Yuan Zhou would always grant his apprentices requests. Therefore, he agreed readily.
The previous festival gifts were the dumplings Cheng zhaomei made, salted duck eggs, and some other dishes. They were all heartfelt.
After getting Yuan Zhous response, Cheng zhaomei immediately took a set of clean dishes from the side and carefully peeled the zongzi.
The round glutinous rice inside was slightly steaming. It was not white, but slightly brown due to the soy sauce. A little brown fragrance also drifted out. There were also some red-skinned peanuts mixed in the glutinous rice, but there seemed to be a lot of peanuts, almost equal in color with the glutinous rice.
Yuan Zhou took the chopsticks and then directly divided the zongzi into two equal halves from the middle, exposing the contents inside. It was the traditional pork with egg yolk. One egg yolk and one piece of sauce-colored streaky pork were also divided into two halves just like that, as if they were just cut. His cutting skills were remarkable.
Master Li almost cried out in surprise when he saw this. It seemed to be easy to divide the dumplings, but it was actually very difficult. The dumplings were not wrapped by themselves, and they did not know the layout. It was the first time that he had seen someone who could easily divide the dumplings into two equal parts.
The aroma is not bad. The bamboo leaves were cooked at just the right time. The peanuts are too hard and affect the taste. However, there are many bright spots. The egg yolks have been marinated before. Yuan Zhou looked at it and directly opened his mouth and said.
Cheng zhaomei had already prepared for this. She directly took out her notebook and carefully recorded every word that Yuan Zhou said.
Master Li, on the other hand, was a little anxious. He didnt have the habit of bringing a notebook with him. In the end, he could only take out his mobile phone carefully and turn on the recording function. He planned to transcribe it when he got back.
Yuan Zhou picked up a mouthful and put it into his mouth. The first thing he felt was that the glutinous rice was soft and sticky. The fragrance of the glutinous rice and the taste of the zongzi leaves blended together, giving a fresh and heavy feeling.
