Chapter 35 Dragon Boat Festival

The next day, Yu Hao was still worried about Pandian.

Looking at Yu Hao who was unhappy, Li Shihan said quickly: "Don't be unhappy, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the factory is on holiday, we organized everyone to make rice dumplings, let's go together!"

Dragon Boat Festival?

Only then did Yu Hao remember that there was also a Dragon Boat Festival in this time and space, and there was also the custom of eating rice dumplings.

Daqian's food culture is backward, and most of its meals are boiled. Yu Hao has never had a good meal since he traveled through time.

When I hear about the Dragon Boat Festival, I can't help but think of the various flavors and designs of rice dumplings in my past life, and my mouth is almost watering.

"Walk!"

Yu Hao immediately forgot about the Pantian matter and hurried to the cafeteria.

At this time, the canteen has already begun to make rice dumplings.

Except for the workers on the night shift who were resting and the guards who were on guard duty, everyone gathered in the canteen. Even craftsmen like Yin Laoqi stopped what they were doing and ran to join in the fun.

While the Guard Department is recruiting veterans, the Logistics Department is also expanding crazily. Now it has nearly 200 craftsmen and nearly 300 various handymen.

Fortunately, the cafeteria is big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to accommodate more than two thousand people.

As soon as Yu Hao came in, he became the focus of the audience, and everyone greeted Yu Hao one after another.

There are very few entertainment activities in textile factories. The biggest entertainment for workers in their free time is to sit together in groups and brag.

The hottest topic in the entire textile factory is undoubtedly the relationship between Yu Hao and Li Shihan.

Yu Hao and Li Shihan were the factory director and the deputy factory director, and they got together every day. Even though they knew that Yu Hao was about to become the consort, they still felt that their relationship was not simple.

For a while, the middle-aged women who were already married started making fun of Yu Hao and Li Shihan.

"Hey, young sir, where did you go to enjoy the mountains and rivers with Miss Li?"

"Little Sir, our Factory Manager Li is so smart, you have to act quickly, otherwise others will snatch it away from you if it's too late!"

"That's right, our Factory Director Li is smart and capable. You can't find such a wife even if you hold a lantern."

Li Shihan followed Yu Hao, lowering her head and saying nothing, but her face was already red to her neck.

These workers often made fun of Li Shihan on weekdays, but they were all in the absence of Yu Hao. Now being said like this in front of Yu Hao, Li Shihan was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

At the same time, the scene of Yu Hao blocking her appeared in her mind again.

"Go, go, you girls have been chirping all day long, what are you talking about here?" Yin Laoqi quickly stood up to stop him.

If what these women say reaches the ears of the princess, it will bring great disaster to Yu Hao!

Yu Hao smiled naively and didn't care.

On weekdays, Yu Hao doesn't have the airs of a young master at all, and often mingles with the workers.

We are all familiar with each other, and it's not a big deal to joke around.

"Uncle Yin, the young master doesn't care. Why are you running out to meddle in other people's business?"

"That's right, Uncle Yin, you have been a bachelor for too long. You should find a mother-in-law to take good care of you!"

"Uncle Yin, my aunt is fifty-eight this year. She is a dead man. If you think it is okay, I will introduce my aunt to you."

For a moment, everyone's focus shifted to Yin Laoqi.

Yin Laoqi spent most of his life in the military camp. He was not married yet, so he was no match for these eloquent women. He was immediately made blushing, blowing his beard and glaring at them.

Everyone was making rice dumplings and playing around, making the whole cafeteria a festive and harmonious scene.

At this moment, Yu Hao noticed that the rice dumplings made by the workers seemed different from what he imagined.

Yu Hao's impression of Zongzi is that glutinous rice is used as the main ingredient, and different ingredients are added according to his own preferences, such as peanuts, mung beans, egg yolks, ham, candied fruits, etc.

Sweet rice dumplings are sticky, sweet, smooth and delicious; salty rice dumplings are fresh, fat, soft and glutinous, oily but not greasy.

Whether it is sweet rice dumplings or salty rice dumplings, they have different flavors depending on the combination of ingredients.

But the rice dumplings made by the workers were so simple that Yu Hao wanted to collapse.

The salty rice dumplings are made by sprinkling a spoonful of salt into the glutinous rice, while the sweet rice dumplings are made by adding some honey to the glutinous rice, with no other ingredients.

After the rice dumplings were cooked like this, the workers still ate them with gusto, as if they were tasting some delicious food.

His predecessor ate big fish and meat for three meals a day and disdained food like zongzi, so Yu Hao could not find any information about zongzi in his predecessor's memory.

I originally had some expectations for zongzi, but now I am completely disappointed.

"Please stop for a moment and let me ask you, do you know how to make these rice dumplings?"

Yu Hao couldn't bear it anymore and stopped everyone.

"Little Sir, although we don't get to eat rice dumplings every year, this is how rice dumplings are made!"

The workers looked at each other, and even Li Shihan looked at Yu Hao strangely.

Although she is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, she still makes rice dumplings together every Dragon Boat Festival. She is sure that this is how rice dumplings are made.

Yu Hao shook his head. He usually ate casually, but after finally celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, he had to eat a little more carefully.

"Forget it, stop it all! Is Hei Niu here?"

"Sir, I'm here!"

Hei Niu was flirting with a girl, and when he heard Yu Hao calling him, he quickly got out of the crowd.

"Take someone to the city to bring me a thousand kilograms of meat. I want good pork belly, red dates, mung beans, sweet potatoes..."

Hei Niu quickly remembered what he needed in his mind. Except for a thousand kilograms of pork belly, everything else was easy to handle.

But Wudu City is the most prosperous city in Daqian after all. As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy.

Yu Hao mentioned more than a dozen ingredients in succession, and Hei Niu memorized them all, and quickly took his squadron to the city to purchase them.

"Everyone, please stop and wait until Hei Niu and the others buy the ingredients before we can continue."

Although they didn't know what Yu Hao was going to do, everyone still stopped. The food that had been wrapped before could not be wasted. The cook in the canteen cooked it and distributed it to everyone.

While everyone was eating, they were waiting for Hei Niu and the others, and at the same time they were also guessing what Yu Hao wanted to do.

"I haven't had breakfast yet when I woke up this morning, let's have one!" Li Shihan peeled off a salty rice dumpling and handed it to Yu Hao.

Yu Hao really had no appetite when looking at the rice dumplings without anything in them, but he couldn't bear to refuse Li Shihan's kindness. In addition, his stomach was growling, so he still took the rice dumplings and ate them.

Sure enough, there was no taste at all except a bit of saltiness.

The scene of Li Shihan peeling off rice dumplings for Yu Hao caught everyone's eyes. Anyway, it was idle time, and everyone started teasing the two of them again.

Li Shihan's face was red the whole time and she wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong, but she also wanted to see what Yu Hao wanted to do by asking Hei Niu to buy so many ingredients.

Just when Li Shihan was so embarrassed that she was about to break her shoes with her feet, Hei Niu finally came back with the ingredients.
