Invite the princess to enjoy the meal

Chapter 288

An Qingxi has already prepared all the fillings by category, and there is only the last step left.

Zisu came in with a bamboo tray covered with washed zong leaves.

Nalanyan flicked the drops of water on the front of his clothes, and took a piece casually to look at it, "Little fool, what are you doing with this?"

An Qingxi was busy, without raising her head, she said, "I'm going to make zongzi."

"Zongzi? What's that? Why haven't you heard of it?" Nalanyan was full of novelty, and seemed delicious when he heard it.

While cutting the red rope, An Qingxi told him the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Do you want to try it?" After finishing speaking, she tilted her head and asked.

Nalanyan raised his chin slightly, with a look of disdain, "There is a saying in the ancients, the gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so I don't mess with it."

An Qingxi laughed, "Well, I won't force you either, just go play and don't disturb me."

As she spoke, she began to pick out the zongzi leaves, filled them with the fillings with a spoon, closed the leaves with her fingers flexibly, wrapped them, and then wrapped them with red strings to tie them tightly. The zongzi was wrapped in a short while.

Nalanyan looked at the green and small four-cornered zongzi with a naive and cute look, and his heart began to itch.

At this time, the people in the kitchen also volunteered to learn how to make zongzi. It didn't take long for An Qingxi to be surrounded by people, and she taught them patiently without any impatience.

Nalanyan played with the rice dumpling leaves for a while, and even studied with Bai Ye Bai Jing. No one paid attention to him, and found it very boring. He fell in love with the green leaf rice dumplings more and more, so he put aside his reserve, pushed aside the crowd, and went to her Go forward, "I want to learn too!"

"Who said that a gentleman is far away from being a cook?" An Qingxi pushed him.

Nalanyan coughed lightly, "The ancients said that you can't overwhelm yourself with too many skills. This can be regarded as a cooking skill. Can't you be easy to learn?"

She chuckled, he had said all the good and bad things by himself, what else could she say?
So let him choose a leaf, "You unfold the zong leaves, and fold the leaves into a small pocket near the middle. No, you folded too much, and the bottom must be tightly closed without leaving any holes."

"Okay, now, you take the stuffing and put it in your pocket, it should be about [-]% full, not too much, or it will be difficult for you to close the leaves later."

She demonstrated again, and he closely followed her steps, but he began to fumble at the hinge link, either because he pretended too much and missed it, or he pretended too little.

"Use a spoon to press the filling tightly. This is to make the dumplings better shaped. The taste is not easy to disperse, and it also helps the hinges not to spill out."

Then she slowed down, covered the zong leaves with the stuffing, then wrapped the bottom of the bag, folded the zong leaves covering the bottom of the bag along one side, and continued to wrap the zong body if there was any excess length.

"Twist the red rope lightly, or the zongye will be caught by you..."

"Boom-"

The zong leaves were broken and the stuffing inside leaked out.

An Qingxi shook her head amusedly, before she finished speaking, he broke it.

Nalanyan looked at the rice grains in his hand, a little at a loss.

She comforted, "It's okay, you can wrap it with another leaf, it's like this from the beginning."

"Master, I've packed two of them! Why haven't you recovered one of them yet!" It was a rare opportunity to tease the master, and Bai Ye and several servants waved the spoils at him.

Nalanyan glanced at them coolly, they immediately bowed their heads and dared not speak anymore, they had so much fun just now, they almost forgot their master's temper, plucking the hair on the tiger's head, they were so daring!
However, he turned his eyes and changed his face in an instant, with a lost and aggrieved expression, "Little fool, they are all laughing at you."

An Qingxi patted the back of his hand, and said in relief, "Don't be discouraged, they don't look good, come on, I'll teach you again."

Nalanyan proudly raised his eyebrows at Bai Ye and the others.

Bai Ye and the others clutched their little hearts: Miss Xiaoxi, is it really okay for you to hurt us like this?
