Qinghe Village.

After the wedding banquet, when the guests left one after another, Qin Liufu took Su Xiaoman to their village's primary school for a walk.

"Xiaoman, we celebrate the Spring Festival here in Qinghe Village, and every household will prepare two kinds of delicious food, one is sweet rice dumplings and the other is gray water dumplings. If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can stay for a few more days, and I will have you make these two kinds of rice for you to take back to eat!"

Su Xiaoman asked in surprise: "What are these sweet rice dumplings and gray water dumplings? I have never heard of them, are they delicious?"

Qin Liufu laughed and said: "Of course it's delicious, this is also our local specialty, sweet rice was made directly by hand in our village before, first use glutinous rice to make powder, you can add a small amount of indica rice or not."

Then use hot water to knead the glutinous rice flour into strips, add water in a certain proportion to boil the brown sugar into a viscous shape, generally using the kind of large iron pot for stir-frying vegetables in the countryside.

After the brown sugar is cooked, add the kneaded sections of vermicelli and stir continuously with a large spatula while cooking over low heat.

Until the noodles are completely mixed with the viscous brown sugar and are ready to be placed on the pre-prepared tray. After cooling, this sweet rice can be cut and eaten, cut and grilled over charcoal, or fried in oil, each with its own flavor!

Of course, now there is no need to be so troublesome, whenever we are close to the Spring Festival, there will be special people to do this, you only need to prepare glutinous rice and sugar (white sugar and brown sugar are OK), and then give some processing fees, people will use the machine to make it for you.

Moreover, there are sweet dumplings made by the machine, and the taste is quite good, if you don't feel too troublesome, use small food bags to separate them. After cooling, throw it directly in the refrigerator, be sure to put it in quick freezing, don't put it fresh, and take it out to thaw when you want to eat it, it's as soft and sweet and chewy as if it was just done.

Here's a tip, be sure to put it in the refrigerator as soon as it cools down, if the time interval is a little longer, then this sweet rice will be completely hard, and the taste will be much worse if you eat it directly, you can only bake it or fry it to eat!"

Su Xiaoman blinked and said, "This seems to be a little similar to our rice cakes over there!"

Qin Liufu smiled: "I don't know about this, but there should be a difference!"

Su Xiaoman asked, "Then what is this gray water squirt?"

Qin Liufu walked to a table tennis table, patted the dust on it casually with his hand, sat on it, and then said to Su Xiaoman: "The production method of gray water is more complicated, and the most critical thing must be used first, that is, a kind of ash formed by burning pine wood or bean seedlings.

This process is not easy, only those families in our rural areas who are still using firewood will consciously collect this thing and keep it for the New Year to make this gray water basket!

To make ash water, it is to soak the collected pine ash or bean seedling ash in water, and then filter it with gauze, and use the filtered gray water to soak the glutinous rice, and then steam the soaked glutinous rice in a steamer.

Then the steamed glutinous rice is placed in a large wooden trough hewn from a single wood, and the long-handled wooden gas is repeatedly beaten until the glutinous rice is beaten so that no rice grains can be seen.

Of course, as more and more people use gas in rural areas, there are fewer and fewer people who burn firewood, and in recent years, when our village has made this gray water shoe, many of them no longer use gray water......

Su Xiaoman was stunned and said: "It turns out that this is the gray water rice you said, it is a bit similar to our glutinous rice dumplings over there, but I have never eaten the rice dumplings made of gray water, I don't know what the taste is different?"

Qin Liufu said with a smile: "The taste of this is also related to the length of time that glutinous rice is soaked in gray water, if the time is just right, then the gray water will have a clear fragrance, and the taste does not know how to describe it to you, in short, this is a very popular special food." ”

Su Xiaoman nodded and said, "Then how do you eat this gray water slur?"

Qin Liufu said: "This is basically fried to eat, if you like to eat sweet, you can put sugar when you fry it almost, and if you like to eat salty, you can fry it and sprinkle it with salt." Personally, whether it is sweet or salty, it has its own flavor.

But if you want to taste the fragrance brought by the gray water, you still have to eat salty, and with a plate of pickled garlic and a pot of tea, it is definitely a rare enjoyment!"

Su Xiaoman is also a person who can be labeled as a foodie, and when he heard Qin Liufu say this, he nodded and said, "Okay, I've been persuaded by you, then stay for a few more days to see if the sweet rice and gray water rice you said are so delicious!"

Qin Liufu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

……

Next.

After having breakfast at Qin's house, Lu Wenbin, Wei Sanshi, Fang Shixuan, Pang Shaolong, Zhang Fanghua, and An Ruoxin submitted their farewells to Huang Tongtong.

"Huang Tongtong, thank you for your hospitality, we will say goodbye, and we will have the opportunity to reunite with our classmates!" Lu Wenbin already has a new goal to pursue, and he has also let go of his attachment to Huang Tongtong in the past, so he said this quite sincerely.

"Huang Tongtong, let's go, next time we have a chance to get together again!"

Everyone else also said goodbye, even Zhang Fanghua, who was the most unpleasant to see Huang Tongtong, stayed in Qin's house for a night after drinking too much yesterday, and his mentality seemed to have changed a lot, and he also said out loud: "Huang Tongtong, thank you for your hospitality, if you have the opportunity to come to Guancheng, you must call me, let me do my best landlord's friendship!"

An Ruoxin also looked at Huang Tongtong with a smile and said, "Huang Tongtong, contact you often in the future, I wish you the rest of your life to be as happy as you are now!"

Huang Tongtong said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much for coming to my wedding, now Sasha and I are both working in Yongcheng, if you have time to come to Yongcheng, please contact us, and finally wish you all a smooth journey!"

Lu Wenbin and the others naturally had another politeness, and finally drove his BMW 5 Series away.

Although the four people sit in the back row of the BMW 5 series, it is a bit crowded, but it is rare for everyone to get together once, and several people are not willing to take another car, so they talk all the way to the city, and then everyone goes their separate ways to do things It's good!

After Lu Wenbin and the others left, in addition to Su Xiaoman, Bai Shasha and Zhou Ting, who were bridesmaids for Huang Tongtong, were still there, and the others had already left.

Huang Tongtong's family and relatives left yesterday.

And the reason why Bai Shasha and Zhou Ting didn't leave was because they planned to return to Yongcheng with Huang Tongtong.

Bai Shasha didn't talk about it, she was originally working in Yongcheng, and Zhou Ting was working in Hunan Province, so it was a good way to take the bullet train to Yongcheng.

……

In the next few days, Qin's mother started to make sweet rice and gray water gnocchi with all her might, and the sweet rice dumplings were three or four hundred catties, and the gray water dumplings were not far behind, and they also made almost four hundred catties.

There's no way, who makes their family have more relatives, don't look at everything made hundreds of catties, but this relative sends a little bit to that relative, and then keeps some for his own food, in fact, there is not much.

When the sweet rice and gray water rice are ready, it is time for Su Xiaoman to go home.

On this day, Qin's mother reluctantly took Su Xiaoman's hand, eager to leave Su Xiaoman for the New Year, but now that his identity is just Qin Liufu's classmate, Qin's mother can only repeatedly tell Su Xiaoman to come back to play at home when he has time.

What can Su Xiaoman say, he can only say okay, as for when he has time, it depends on the situation!

Not only Qin's mother, Qin Qiyue is similar to Su Xiaoman because of her age, and the two have gotten along very well these days, so naturally they don't want her to leave.

In fact, Su Xiaoman is also a little reluctant to leave, she stays in the Qin family these days, and the Qin family is really good to her, and she also likes the atmosphere in the village very much, and she is also very interested in many customs and habits.

However, no matter how reluctant she is, she still has to leave when it is time to leave, after all, even if she and Qin Liufu are in a relationship, it is impossible for her to stay in the Qin family for the New Year, not to mention that the two are only friends so far, let alone that.

At the time of parting, Qin Qiyue said reluctantly: "Sister Xiaoman, you must come to play with me when you have time!"

Su Xiaoman nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, in July, aren't your sixth brother and your fifth uncle's family all in Jingjiang, you can also come to Jingjiang to play with me when you have time!"

"Well, after the New Year, when will you return to Jingjiang from your hometown, Sister Xiaoman, just tell me on WeChat, and I will go to Jingjiang to play with you!" Qin Qiyue said.

"Okay, we'll contact you on WeChat then!" After talking to Qin Qiyue, Su Xiaoman looked at Qin's father and Qin's mother, and said, "Uncle and aunt, thank you for your hospitality these days, I'll leave first, and I'll come to visit you again when I have time!"

"Well, Xiaoman, have a good trip!"

"Thank you, uncle and aunt, July, Baxing, Jiuzhu, goodbye everyone!"

"Goodbye Man!"

"Goodbye, Sister Man!"

"Goodbye, Sister Xiaoman!"

"Have a nice trip!"

Under the wave goodbye of Qin's father, Qin mother, Qin Qiyue, Qin Baxing, Qin Jiuzhu and others, Su Xiaoman got into Qin Liufu's Mercedes-Benz, and as the Mercedes-Benz gradually drove away, Qin Qiyue sighed and said: "Sister Xiaoman has a good personality and is beautiful, and I don't know if the sixth brother can catch up with others!"

Mother Qin looked at Qin Qiyue and sighed: "If your sixth brother looks as good-looking as you, then the hope is quite big, it's hard to say now, I hope your sixth brother can succeed, Xiaoman, this kid is indeed very likable." ”

Father Qin said: "There is still hope, such a beautiful girl from other families has come thousands of miles to a small place like ours to drink wine, and she has lived for more than a week, which is enough to prove that the relationship between our sixth child and her is still very good."

As long as the sixth child is willing to put effort into pursuing, the success rate should still be quite high!"

Qin Qiyue nodded and said: "Dad is right, there is still hope, it seems that I usually have to contact Sister Xiaoman more, deal with her well, and then match my sixth brother!"

Qin's mother scolded with a smile: "Don't mess around, let him do your sixth brother's affairs by himself, don't help me when the time comes, you still study hard for me, strive to be admitted to Qingbei University, and let me have a good long face with your father!"

"In terms of study, don't worry, Mom and Dad, don't you just go to Qingbei University, I'll take the exam for you next year!"

"Don't brag, if you have the ability, I'll talk about it when I get admitted!"

"What I'm bragging, you guys wait and see!"

"Okay, we'll wait!"
