Chapter 32 Zongzi stewed full of fragrance

After Liu Wen's family finished harvesting the wheat, they drove the oxen to plow the wheat field the next day, and then sowed the seeds of corn non-stop. Just wait for God to rain, corn seeds can break through the soil, at this time the corn planted in Liujiachong called autumn corn, most of them are used to feed pigs and chickens.

In two or three days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival, and on this morning, Liu Wen and Qing'er took fortune and incense to pick zongzi leaves on the mountain. The public bamboo forest in the village is a little further down the hillside, where there is a large piece of bamboo with bamboo leaves, which is a good material for wrapping zongzi.

It is a somewhat special kind of bamboo, with slender stems that are not tall and spread over the hillside in clusters, making it easy to pick leaves.

Liu Wen and Qing'er picked out those particularly fresh and very neat bamboo leaves, and after a while, the basket they were carrying was almost full of bamboo leaves. Xiangxiang has been following Liu Wen and Qing'er's side, blessing and fortune, and is scurrying around in the mountains to chase the traces of prey. Since the last time the rabbit ran away, these days to fortune and fortune, always run outside, do not go home until the meal, I guess I want to really catch a rabbit back and shame it!

In the evening, Liu Wen's mother soaked two large buckets of glutinous rice, and after breakfast, the family sat in front of the yard and began to wrap zongzi. Liu Wen's mother held two zongzi leaves, flexibly rolled them into a cylindrical shape with a lower tip and a wide upper point, scooped two spoonfuls of glutinous rice in a bucket and poured them in, pressed them tightly, wrapped them tightly, and tied them tightly with a rope made of palm leaves, and one zongzi was wrapped.

Liu Wen saw that his father and Qing'er were skillfully wrapping zongzi, so he also tried to wrap two zongzi leaves, but it was not that the rolled leaves were not tight enough, and the glutinous rice leaked as soon as it was poured, but the shape of the zongzi was too ugly.

Seeing his mother waving her hand with disgust, Liu Wen had no choice but to stop and do some chores with him. This year, Liu Wen's family has made a total of three kinds of zongzi, the first kind of white zongzi, which is pure glutinous rice, and the second kind of meat zongzi, as the name suggests, will put a marinated pork belly in the zongzi. The third kind of three-bean zongzi will put red beans, flower beans and mung beans in the zongzi, so it is called three-bean zongzi.

Liu Wen's mother also wrapped some pillow dumplings with lotus leaves, some of which were put in meat and beans and only glutinous rice. This kind of zongzi is very large, and after cooking, it is estimated that an adult will not be able to eat one in one meal.

Liu Wen's father burned a pile of straw in the yard, and after the flame was extinguished, he scooped up the straw ashes and poured them into a large bucket, and after the water precipitated and filtered with gauze, the water in the large bucket was poured into the cauldron, and the wrapped zongzi were put in to cook.

It is the tradition of Liu Jiachong to cook zongzi with grass and wood ash water, and the cooked zongzi are not so greasy to eat, and they also have a little fragrant like straw. Second, with grass and wood gray water, the shelf life of the zongzi made is relatively long, in the previous era when there was no air conditioning, the boiled zongzi were hung in the room like this, and generally could be kept for half a month or even longer without going bad.

A large piece of firewood has been burning under the cauldron, and it has been boiling since ten o'clock in the morning, and slowly a tempting aroma of rice dumplings spreads from the kitchen. Fortune beckoning fortune to go home for lunch, the backyard is full of Dahua family and the joy of never smelling the fragrance of zongzi, often probing his brain to wander at the kitchen door, reluctant to go away.

At six o'clock in the evening, the zongzi were finally cooked, Liu Wen opened the cauldron, picked out several meat dumplings, and after it cooled down a little, he peeled it and distributed it to the pets who had been waiting for a long time at home, and even the joy and joy on the big longan tree also received a three-bean dumpling.

Laifu and Zhaocai took a bite of the zongzi in their rice bowl and swallowed it in a few bites, Laifu licked his tongue, and after rolling his eyes, he licked his face and lay beside Huanhuan to comb the hair on his body for Huanhuan. Huanhuan couldn't stand Laifu's enthusiasm, and he didn't like the greasy taste of zongzi, so he handed over the zongzi in his hand. After Laifu swallowed it, he didn't look at Huanhuan again, and Laifu wanted to go to Lele to repeat his old skills, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Zhaocai.

Laifu looked at Zhaocai and was swallowing the zongzi that originally belonged to Lele, and after looking left and right, he couldn't see the target who could bargain, and he lay down stupidly.

In the past, Laifu and Zhaocai often grabbed the food of joy and joy, but later Liu Wen cleaned it up, but now he doesn't dare to rob it, and he tries to change his ways, or he still wants to take advantage of joy. The big flower family is there, they don't dare to come to the blessing and beckoning, the claws of the big flower will not show mercy to their subordinates, just now Liu Wen's family came to the blessing and beckoning, and they have suffered from the big flower. As for Xiangxiang, Laifu Zhaocai can't even think of it, and dare to take advantage of Xiangxiang, is it really a long life? As for the two little squirrels, they are biting on the rice dumplings on the big tree, and they can only look at the tree and sigh, and they can't do anything.

There are several ways to eat zongzi in Liujiachong, you can eat it directly, you can eat it with sugar or salt after frying, and after the sugar water is boiled, the taste is even sweeter. One of Liu Wen's favorite foods is glutinous rice and wine lees boiled white dumplings, the wine lees are sweet and the rice dumplings are soft and glutinous, and the taste is really amazing. Parents know Liu Wen's hobby, a few days in advance of the glutinous rice lees, Liu Wen is not going to eat tonight, just eat glutinous rice lees to cook zongzi.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the zongzi that Liu Wen wanted to eat was still boiling in the glutinous rice lees, and the village chief took Liu Quanshun and hurriedly walked into Liu Wen's yard. "Wen Yazi! Something happened. As soon as he saw Liu Wen, the village chief immediately said anxiously: "Quan Shun'er! Liu Quanshun immediately told everything he knew.

This afternoon, Liu Quanshun's family came to Liu Quanshun's house for the first time to visit Liujia Village, and they really wanted to see what the bamboo leaves used to make zongzi looked like? That place was not far from the village, so Liu Chang called his grandson Gouba by the way, and led the two girls there.

After seeing the bamboo leaves, Goubazi took the two girls to look for some bubbles to eat on the nearby hillside, and the taste of the bubbles in the mountains did not disappoint the two girls. The girl who was a little shorter asked Goubazi if there were any other wild fruits to eat in the mountains during this time period? Goubazi told the truth, except for bubbles, nothing else could be picked, and the wild grapes and wild bayberry in the mountains would not be ripe for a while.

Dogbazi didn't say that wild grapes were fine, but as soon as he said wild grapes, the eyes of the two girls lit up, so he begged Goubazi to take them to see what wild grapes looked like. Dog Bazi didn't refuse, because wild grapes in the mountains are basically all too common.

It happened that there were no wild grapes in this area, so the dog took them deep into the mountains and finally found a wild grape. The shorter girl may have been so happy that she lifted a vine of wild grapes without looking at it, probably wanting to see what the wild grapes looked like.

"Ahh The girl panicked and cried.

Gou Bazi glanced at the snake that swam into the dense wild grape vines after biting, and his heart suddenly picked up, it was a bamboo leaf green snake, and Gou Bazi knew that it was a poisonous snake.

"This bamboo-leaf green snake is poisonous, we have to go back quickly! "Dog Bazi wants to take this girl home quickly.

"Ah, it's still a poisonous snake, it's over, I'm done, I'm done, am I going to die?" The girl broke down when she knew that she had been bitten by a poisonous snake, and she lay on the ground and cried.

"It's going to be fine, this snake is not venomous, you won't die. Come, get up, we're going to hurry home and get the snake medicine applied. Just as the dog grabbed the girl's arm and tried to help her up and rush home, suddenly a wild boar appeared after a noise in a bush next to her.

"Ahh

Although Goubazi also went to Taoyuan to ride a big wild boar, but suddenly saw a wild boar in the mountain, Goubazi wanted to say that he was not afraid, it was also false. However, the tourist was close to him and was bitten by a snake, so it was impossible for the dog to leave the tourist alone and escape alone.

I didn't expect the wild boar to send the snake grass. Haha! We're saved. Gou Bazi found the wild boar, put down a grass, turned around and left, and then looked closely at the snake grass, which Gou Bazi knew was a good medicine for the bite of a poisonous snake.

The overjoyed dog stuffed the snake grass into his mouth and chewed it, and hurriedly found a silk thatch, first sawed open the girl's snake bite wound, then applied the chewed herbs to the wound, and finally found two large leaves and rattan to bandage the wound.

Liujia Village is located in the deep mountains, there are really many types of snakes here, every year there are villagers bitten by snakes, so every household has snake medicine. Dog Bazi has heard and witnessed it since he was a child, and once he calms down and treats the injured, he can actually be tense, orderly and orderly.

A female tourist ran into the mountains, and the other was bitten by a snake and was nearby, although a little herbs were roughly applied, but there must be residual poison in the body. The dog had to pick up the girls around him first, and hurried home to ask the adults for help.

"Do you have any belongings for that girl?" asked Liu Wen.

"Yes. Liu Quanshun took out the girl's wallet.

"Come here!" Liu Wen took the wallet and let the two dogs sniff it carefully, and then said, "Find the owner of this wallet!"

Laifu Zhaocai immediately ran out of the hospital, Liu Wen followed behind and said: "Laifu and Zhaocai are mountain dogs, it is estimated that they can find people, a girl is not familiar with the situation in the mountains, and she will definitely not be able to go far." If you don't find it, then you have to mobilize the whole village to look for it overnight. People have to be found, and there must be no more accidents!"
