Picking bayberry for two days to the Dragon Boat Festival, many families do not wrap zongzi, last year's good year did not plant glutinous rice, and this year's supply and marketing cooperatives glutinous rice prices, compared with last year is a lot more expensive, members shout that they can't afford it.

Qiao's mother really wanted to wrap zongzi, but when she was cutting zongzi leaves, people saw it, and everyone was asking what kind of zongzi to wrap?

In fact, the subtext is to ask if there is still extra glutinous rice in Qiao's mother's house.

Qiao's mother smiled and coped with the past, saying that she would use zongzi to wrap some rice, finches and wheat or something, and the Dragon Boat Festival should be a scene.

Because she was stared at by too many people, Qiao's mother didn't dare to do anything, so she kneaded the dough with finch wheat sweet potato powder, added a little salted radish and dried shrimp, wrapped it in zongzi leaves, and then steamed it.

Don't look at the filling, just look at the shape, the corners of each zongzi are very beautiful.

Although the zongzi made by Qiao's mother does not have the taste and aroma of glutinous rice, it also tastes unique.

Qiao's mother made a lot of money and sent some out, and the people who ate it all said yes, saying why didn't they think of this practice?

After all, in the past, everyone's idea was that zongzi was made of glutinous rice, and it couldn't be made without glutinous rice.

Qiao Jiayue didn't have the heart to be on the Dragon Boat Festival, she followed Qiao's father to stare at a few female members who were quick with their hands and feet to make bayberry into candied fruit.

First, the bayberry that has been eaten by insects or birds is picked out, and the ones that do not grow well are also singled out.

After the selected bayberry is simply washed off with water, it is rolled in boiling water and then put into a bamboo plaque to dry.

And the blanched bayberry water suddenly turned purple-red, exuding the aroma of bayberry, as well as a faint sweet and sour taste.

Many members of the club are staring at these bayberry waters.

Qiao's father couldn't cry or laugh, and originally planned to blanch a few baskets of bayberry in a pot of hot water, but the members of the club were so keen on bayberry water that they had to change their minds.

He is also generous, and sent two barrels to each of the other three production teams, and it depends on their production team leader how to divide them.

The members of the fourth team are still looking forward to it, this is a rare drink.

The educated youths don't seem to be interested, but in fact, they are also very concerned about whether they can get a share.

At this time, the educated youth of the other production teams realized the benefits of staying in the fourth team.

Huang Chunyun and Qiao Qiuyu didn't get the job of making bayberry candied fruit, but they lived close, and when they smelled the aroma of bayberry, the saliva in their mouths was flooded!

They wanted to help, but they couldn't get in, it was a sought-after job, and the women who could be chosen were proud.

It is very important to make bayberry candied fruit, and the women who do it are carefully screened, and they must love cleanliness and have quick hands and feet.

Gao Yulian is also on the list, but she is no longer the team leader.

However, Gao Yulian didn't care, she could come to help make candied fruit, which showed that she was not disgusted by the captain.

Because the conditions are insufficient, the bayberry candied fruit is not complicated, and after blanching in water, it can be dried for seven or eight minutes, and then it can be put into a clay pot for pickling.

Add salt and garlic cloves to make it salty, as for the sweet, it is unthinkable, sugar is too expensive, and no one will have the luxury of using sugar in such a place.

The fourth team has a cellar, and the sealed clay pots will be put into it, waiting for the time to ferment, and it will become a rare snack for the Chinese New Year.

The other production teams were so enthusiastic that they didn't expect bayberry to have this kind of practice before?

Is it too late to plant bayberry?

I don't know how this bayberry tree grew, and it happened to be on the territory of the fourth team, which was too jealous.

The grand occasion of picking bayberry still attracted the attention of Hu Yueliang and several people, and they took the rare time to understand it, so they suggested that the brigade could consider planting bayberry in large quantities.

The variety of this bayberry tree is high-grade, and it is very suitable for the geographical environment of the alpine brigade, which is much more reliable than planting longan lychee or something.

Although bayberry is not easy to transport and preserve, it is not necessarily bad to process it into candied fruit.

And as long as the bayberry tree is properly managed, the descendants can fully benefit.

And the world is changing from time to time, and the market will definitely be active in the future, and the fruit trees planted at this time will be a big advantage when the market opens.

However, no one raised this point, but this bayberry tree of the fourth team did make the other production teams think.

At this time, Hu Yueliang Li replied that they would help cultivate bayberry seedlings, and the brigade naturally had no reason not to agree.

Qiao Jiayue didn't intervene, and the matter of cultivating saplings must have been suggested by her second brother in private.

Only four teams have bayberry trees, which is too conspicuous.

Wait until next year, won't the other production teams feel uncomfortable?

Qiao Jiayue took a few zongzi and sent them to Chen Mian's family, but before she reached the entrance of the brigade department, she was stopped by Sun Juan.

Sun Juan was wearing a pale yellow Zhenliang floral shirt, black pants, her hair was tied up high, and her whole mental outlook was different and particularly conspicuous.

She also seemed to like the way others looked at her, her back was straight, her chin was slightly raised, and she was quite proud in her heart.

"I heard that the zongzi you make are very special and taste good, so I'll buy a few with you and try them. Sun Juan glanced at the zongzi in Qiao Jiayue's hand, and the appearance looked very beautiful.

Qiao Jiayue was stunned when she was stopped, and when she heard Sun Juan's intention, she couldn't help laughing, "My family's zongzi is not wrapped in glutinous rice, it is a very ordinary thing, you won't want to eat it." ”

Sun Juan frowned slightly, "How is it possible, so many people say it's good, it must be good, do you look down on me as an educated youth?"

When she buys things with the members, there will be people who look down on her and speak in a weird way.

"You're thinking too much. Qiao Jiayue shook her head, "If you really want to taste it, I'll give you one when you come home with me." ”

"But these will not work, they will have to be given away. Qiao Jiayue said and continued to walk towards the team headquarters, "Also, don't buy things from the members of the club at every turn, this is not allowed, you should be careful to let people report it." ”

Sun Juan pursed her lips when she heard this, and followed Qiao Jiayue to the team headquarters.

She's been living here for a while, and she's quite familiar with it.

"Sister Yue'er, you're here!" Chen Mian was lying on the table writing and drawing, and when she saw Qiao Jiayue, she hurriedly jumped off the chair, but when she saw Sun Juan, she instantly became restrained.

Sun Juan glanced at Chen Mian, her mouth moved, and the words of greeting were stuck in her mouth.

"Mianmian, this is a rice dumpling for you, it is my mother's new method, you can try it?" Qiao Jiayue spared no effort to recommend Qiao's mother's craftsmanship.

Chen Mian took the zongzi and put it away carefully, sniffing Qiao Jiayue's body with his nose, "The smell of bayberry." ”

"Is there one?" Qiao Jiayue raised her arm and sniffed it, no! She went to help make bayberry preserves, but it has been a while, how can it still smell!

"Yes, sweet and sour, it smells good. Chen Mian nodded like pounding garlic, she wanted to say something to Qiao Jiayue, but when she saw Sun Juan waiting outside, she didn't speak.

"Mianmian, do you want to go to my house?" Qiao Jiayue didn't bother with the smell of her body, and sent an invitation to Chen Mian.

"No, I'm not done yet. Chen Mian shook his head and refused.
