Jiang Feng had no idea how obvious the changes in a woman's taste during pregnancy were, after all, his wife was not pregnant, no, more precisely, he didn't have a wife yet.

But since Zhao Mei wanted to eat sweet because of the great change in her taste during pregnancy, and she also had to eat sweets like glutinous rice lotus, Jiang Feng could only make the rice balls sweet.

The traditional black sesame rice balls are not troublesome to make, but it is a little difficult to adjust the filling because it is difficult to control the sweetness. If you put less white sugar, it doesn't taste like a rice ball, and if you put more and eat a few, you will get tired, fortunately, this time the rice ball is made for Zhao Mei, and you don't need to worry about sprinkling sugar when you add white sugar.

The Jiang family habitually adds some lard to the filling of rice balls, and for some reason, the rice balls with lard taste less greasy than the rice balls without lard. Ten catties of glutinous rice balls need not a small amount of lard, this year the Jiang family pork is in a hurry, even with lard is out of stock, fried cabbage is used rapeseed oil instead of lard, resulting in fried cabbage lost some color and less fragrant.

In order to make up enough lard, Jiang Feng deliberately went to Li Cuihua's house next door to borrow a bowl of lard, the kind that borrowed lard to return the rice balls, Zhao Liang (Li Cuihua's grandson) couldn't wait to bring a whole pot of lard to Jiang Feng at home.

Everything is ready, just start work.

Speaking of tangyuan, many people will think of the Lantern Festival at the first time. Eating tangyuan in the south and Lantern Festival in the north may sound like the same thing, but the practice is actually different.

Chen Zhisui once described the dumplings in "Zaijingtang Collection, Jiangnan Jingshi Poems, Festival Poems": each round circle wants longan, and it takes kung fu to love to eat. Mix the clouds and scoop the silver tank water, and rub the snow lightly rubbing the jade palm skin. Push it into the soup pot to drive away the white duck, and scoop up the sugar bowl to roll the yellow beads. Every year on the winter solstice, the family cooks, and the one-year-old does not know?

This poem is very easy to understand, mainly to express the roundness of the rice balls, which belongs to the feeling of eating rice balls.

Making dumplings is a bit like making dumplings, except that you don't need to use a rolling pin, you rely on squeezing and kneading to shape them. The Lantern Festival is to rely on collision and rolling, you need to dip the stuffing in water and put it in the glutinous rice flour and roll it repeatedly, roll to the surface smooth, bump and not crack is the Lantern Festival. A good Lantern Festival can't find any glue on the surface, which can be called a miracle.

The invisible rice ball making machine Jiang Feng sat in the kitchen and made the rice balls silently by himself, for Jiang Feng, making rice balls was much easier than making dumplings. When making dumplings, he is often disgusted by Brother De and Brother Cheng, the line is not stuffed, the dumplings are not round enough, and I don't have any concerns about this when making dumplings - anyway, Brother De and Brother Cheng don't like to eat rice balls.

Both of them are generally not interested in food that fills their stomachs without meat.

As soon as Jiang Feng finished wrapping the rice balls, he packed more than a pound and sent them to the next door, the skin of the rice balls was very viscous and not easy to preserve, and the best way to preserve them was to eat them freshly.

After Jiang Feng returned after delivering the rice balls, he put the remaining rice balls one by one into a fresh-keeping bag and sealed them, and put them in the refrigerator freezer to freeze them.

Jiang Feng, who had taken care of everything, walked to the living room, carried a small bench to join the ranks of everyone making dumplings, and listened to some gossip and ate melons by the way.

This melon is the focus of tomorrow's visit - Zhao Mei.

Because the person who sent the melon was Grandma Jiang, everyone was centered on Grandma Jiang, and each brazier was spread out as the boundary. Although the old man made dumplings and put on an expression that I was forced to sit here and listen to you talk about these short chores of the parents, he actually listened to a word. When I heard the excitement, I even forgot to make dumplings, just holding the dumpling skin without stuffing the filling, and only reacted when the dumpling skin was almost dried by the brazier.

"Fifth daughter-in-law, you don't know, I called Tian Lin some time ago, and Tian Lin was so worried. If you want me to say that you can't marry your daughter too far, you can't take care of it at all if it's far away, and it's troublesome to go home, and you can't see her twice a year, can you say that she can't feel distressed when she is a mother?" Grandma Jiang didn't even wrap dumplings, and grabbed the hand of the fifth aunt and sighed affectionately.

The fifth aunt, the only one present who gave birth to a daughter, felt empathy, tears were about to fall, and echoed: "Yes, this daughter is married far away, and the most distressing thing is to be a mother." ”

"And Zhuang Shi, this kid has not been easy to follow his mother since he was a child, and he didn't see how strong he grew when he was named Zhuang Shi, and he was not as good as Tian Lin when he worked, and Mei Mei didn't have an older brother or brother to take care of. Mei Mei has a good temperament since she was a child, everyone takes care of her, she is gentle, and she doesn't say anything when she is bullied by others outside. The phone call Tian Lin made to me some time ago simply said that my heart is up, this girl can't raise her temperament too softly, she has to be independent and self-reliant, she has to be competitive, and it's not good to be too gentle. Grandma Jiang sighed.

The fifth aunt nodded emotionally and echoed: "Yes, girls should be raised......"

Then the fifth aunt silently glanced at Jiang Junlian and Jiang Junqing, and felt that she seemed to have no right to speak and shut up.

Jiang Feng didn't understand after eating the melon for a long time, so he could only turn his head and ask Jiang Junlian in a whisper: "What's wrong with Sister Meimei?"

"I didn't feel wronged, but Sister Meimei was about to give birth, during this time, my appetite was not good, I couldn't eat, and I lost a lot of weight, my cousin and aunt worried about this and that, and I felt that Sister Meimei couldn't eat because she was wronged at her mother-in-law's house. Jiang Junlian whispered.

"When did Sister Mei Mei start to stop eating?" Jiang Feng asked.

"It seems like last month, not long. ”

"Then when did Sister Meimei come back?"

"National Day is back. ”

Jiang Feng: ......

My cousin's associative ability is really rich.

"Then Sister Meimei, is her husband back?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.

"I'm back, I came back with Sister Mei Mei on the National Day, and I left after the National Day. I came here again a year ago, and now I'm still at my uncle's house. Jiang Junlian unreservedly shared the melon he had just eaten with Jiang Feng, "Actually, Sister Mei Mei and her parents-in-law also came together during the National Day, but they didn't come during the New Year." ”

"What is my cousin worried about?" Jiang Feng looked confused.

Because the voice of the two of them talking quietly was not small enough, Jiang Zaide, Jiang Shoucheng and Jiang Ran, who were sitting on the side, also heard the question and answer between Jiang Feng and Jiang Junlian and joined the discussion group.

"Then you don't need to ask, I'm worried about Sister Mei Mei! Sister Mei Mei married so far to Jin Province, my cousin was seasick, seasick and airsick, and she had to lose half of her life when she went out, and my cousin and aunt couldn't go to see her often, she must be worried. Jiang Shoucheng spoke first.

"No, if you are worried that you won't call your grandmother to tell you, it must be that Sister Mei Mei was bullied at her mother-in-law's house, and when she came back to raise the baby this time, she told her cousin, and her cousin complained to her grandmother. "Jiang Zaide is logically rigorous.

"Come on, Sister Mei Mei will still be bullied? Brother De, you forgot, when we were children, how did Sister Mei Mei use bamboo to whip the three of us at once? When we smoked, grandma was still applauding next to us, and it seems that Xiao Feng has not been beaten by Sister Mei Mei. Jiang Ran overturned Jiang Zaide's argument on the spot, "Bullying Sister Mei Mei, who can bully Sister Mei Mei?"

After Jiang Ran said this, Jiang Feng seemed to have some impressions again, when he was a child, he seemed to have seen Zhao Mei beat him all over the yard with one dozen three, chasing Jiang Zaide, Jiang Shoucheng and Jiang Ran with bamboo. He forgot the specific reason, anyway, it must be the Jiang family's three owe beating.

Zhao Mei, a character like Zhao Mei who has been able to use his age advantage and his sister's majesty since he was a child, is not afraid of power to beat the three fat members of the Jiang family, and it is estimated that few people in this world can bully him.

"What is my cousin worried about?" Jiang Feng looked confused.

"I don't know. Everyone said in unison.

"Brother Ran, you said that you would go to your uncle's house tomorrow to see Sister Meimei, will Sister Meimei be as fat as me?" Jiang Junlian asked.

"Not necessarily, it's really impossible to say if you're fat or not. Jiang Ran wasn't sure.

"I heard that a woman's temperament changes greatly when she is pregnant, if she sees Sister Meimei tomorrow, will she beat me again in anger when she remembers that I stole all her cakes when I was a child?"

"Let's run, Sister Meimei is about to give birth, and her emotions should not fluctuate too much at this time, if the action is too intense when she hits you...... Brother De, or you won't go tomorrow. Jiang Shoucheng sincerely put forward his opinion, "Or hide when you see Sister Meimei." ”

Jiang Feng: ......

Brother De and Brother Cheng's way of caring for their sister, why does it sound so strange?

"You said, Sister Mei Mei is pregnant, will my cousin and aunt still stew meat tomorrow?" Jiang Feng asked.
