Chapter 239: Not Overly Concerned about Fame and Fortune
After all she wasn't sure if zongzi with salted duck egg filling would be well-received. Dealing with the excess egg whites would also be troublesome. To avoid having egg whites in every meal for the next period, she only made twenty zongzi with salted duck egg yolks.
As for how to distribute them, it was simple, one family received one. If they didn't like it, there wouldn't be any waste.
"I'll have some." Chu Heng knew that Ye Muyu enjoyed making food. Seeing her somewhat helpless expression, he didn't want her mood to be affected by these reasons, so he calmly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu hesitated a bit. "Do you really like it?"
"It goes well with porridge. You just keep making them, don't worry about anything else." Chu Heng looked at her and said casually.
Seeing his earnest expression and the usual style of speaking, Ye Muyu knew that he wasn't joking. It piqued her interest even more.
"Alright, I won't be polite in the future when it comes to making food."
Ye Muyu decided not to make zongzi anymore. Sending them to other families, only to have them sent back would result in an endless cycle of exchanging zongzi. In the end she felt that her family would be eating zongzi for quite some time.
"Sure." Chu Heng eat one with salted duck egg filling and then took ones with red bean, jujube paste, and purple sweet potato fillings.
All of them were sweet. Although salty ones weren't bad either, Chu Heng was a fan of sweets, so naturally, sweet zongzi were more to his liking.
On the other hand, Chu Jin had two with fresh meat filling and one with salted duck egg filling, completely ignoring the sweet ones.
"Mom, I want to eat zongzi with meat filling from now on. I always say that as long as it has meat, it'll taste good no matter what you put inside." Chu Jin eat three and started burping. Ye Muyu deliberately made them smaller but the fillings were still generous.
"Enjoying them is more important. Don't eat too much. How about going out to play for a while? In the afternoon, Zhang Shu will take you to the county to sell goods with Uncle Chu Xing."
The Chu family had already left for the county early in the morning to secure a spot. Although today was the first day, most people were still at home preparing gifts. The lively atmosphere would start in the afternoon.
Chu Heng, being accustomed to doing business, understood the importance of claiming a spot early. If he waited until later, it might be too crowded to squeeze in. The streets designated by the government were set up for stalls, where merchants could sell their goods.
"Mom, I got it." Chu Jin got up and ran away with Zhang Cong to play with other children outside.
Chu Ziluo, who had finished eating zongzi with red bean filling, helped Ye Muyu clean up the table.
"Mom, I'm a bit nervous." Although Chu Ziluo was afraid of Chu Heng, she still leaned against Ye Muyu, acting spoiled.
Ye Muyu patted her back gently. "Don't be afraid. It's just a competition. Show what you know and even if you don't get a rank, you're still the best girl in your parents' hearts."
"Besides, you're still young. Without a rank, it doesn't matter much. Qingxiang has already been engaged and she wants to shine more to impress her future in-laws. That's why she's working so hard." Ye Muyu understood that this girl must have been influenced by Chu Qingxiang. There was no way around it, anyone would envy others for their excellence.
Ye Muyu didn't want Ziluo to place too much importance on fame and fortune. Be true to herself and face fame and fortune calmly, that's all she needed.
"Mom, what if I don't perform well? It'll be hard for my future in-laws... Then, Dad and Mom will surely be troubled. I don't want Mom to be troubled." Chu Ziluo's voice sounded depressed. "I don't want Mom to be troubled."
