"Uncle Glory, you look for me. ”
The second baby ran into the yard and looked at Ye Rongrong and asked.
The most naughty second child in the village, no one in the village can control him, but he just listens to Ye Rongrong's words and worships Ye Rongrong.
"Go to the village and buy me thirty yuan of zongzi leaves, and buy the rest for you, and share it with your friends." ”
Ye Rongrong took out fifty yuan, handed it to the second baby and said.
Anyway, this bear child has nothing to do, so Ye Rongrong handed over the job of buying zongye to the dolls of Erwazi.
"Okay. ”
The second baby happily took the fifty yuan from Ye Rongrong's hand and took a group of bear children to the small shop in the village.
Erwazi, these bear children, like to do things for Uncle Glory the most, and they always give rewards, and this twenty yuan is enough for everyone to buy a popsicle.
On such a hot day, children love to eat popsicles.
After eating lunch and resting a little, Liu Jingqing, Pan Chengchen, and Aunt Liu began to make zongzi, Ye Rongrong and Xiao Shi'er were doing chores on the side, and when they needed to do heavy work, Ye Rongrong and Xiao Shi'er would do it.
Of course, as the boss, Ye Rongrong belongs to the type of character who talks more and does less.
"There are fewer soybeans in this glutinous rice, and more needs to be added. ”
Today, there are two kinds of zongzi, one is soybean zongzi, the other is salted duck egg zongzi, the first is soybean zongzi, but Ye Rongrong is a little dissatisfied with the number of soybeans mixed with glutinous rice.
"Got it, my big boss. ”
Pan Chengchen smiled, and then peeled the remaining soybeans into the glutinous rice in the morning, and kept stirring it with both hands.
"Xiaoshi, you go and bring the dumpling leaves soaked in the kitchen. ”
Aunt Liu said to Xiao Shi'er. This dumpling leaf is not bought and can be used, it should be soaked in boiling water for an hour, so that it can be finished and disinfected.
Soon Xiao Shi'er took the dumpling leaves soaked in the basin, and after the water in the basin was clean, Xiao Shi'er put the basin containing the zongzi leaves on the stone table.
"Glory, we make triangular zongzi, or long zongzi. ”
In Taoyuan Village, people wrap zongzi in two ways, one is a triangular zongzi and the other is a rectangular brown.
In fact, there are many kinds of zongzi shapes, there are regular triangles, oblique triangles, spiral angles, shovel head shapes, etc., only the most popular ones in Yangping County are long zongzi and triangular zongzi.
"Just the triangular zongzi, it looks good, the amount is not much, and children will not waste it when they eat it. Ye Rongrong thought for a while and said.
In Taoyuan Village, the long brown size of the people is very large, which is equivalent to the amount of an adult's meal, and many children and women who do not have a very good appetite basically can't eat a zongzi at a time.
In addition, this zongzi is made of glutinous rice, although this glutinous rice is very nutritious, it is not easy for the stomach to digest, and it is not suitable to eat more.
So in Ye Rongrong's opinion, it's okay to wrap triangular zongzi, although it is a little smaller, it is just right for children to eat.
"Then let's make triangular zongzi. Aunt Liu said.
Aunt Liu is the main force in this bag of zongzi, and Liu Jingqing and Pan Chengchen are the two apprentices, who are completely under the command of Aunt Liu.
In fact, this bag of zongzi, Ye Rongrong will also, when he was very young, Ye Rongrong learned to make zongzi with his mother, whether it is a triangular zongzi or a straight zongzi, Ye Rongrong can wrap it yo-yo.
It's just that now there are three ladies wrapping this zongzi, of course Ye Rongrong can be lazy, so he is lazy.
In the words of Ye Rongrong, it is also a pleasure to watch beautiful women make zongzi.
The beauty of his wife, needless to say, belongs to the type known in the world, and Pan Chengchen is also one of the best beauties in a hundred.
As for the elderly Aunt Liu, she is also a big beauty, when she was young, Aunt Liu was a famous beauty in Taoyuan Village, although she is now forty, she still looks very beautiful.
Ye Rongrong even suspected that if she took off her makeup, it would be better than no makeup, and Aunt Liu might not be much worse than Fan Binbin.
"Aunt Liu, how do you wrap this triangular zongzi?" asked Liu Jingqing.
Liu Jingqing has never wrapped triangular zongzi, and when she used to give her mother-in-law a hand, she also wrapped simple rectangular zongzi.
"This one is very simple, like I did, overlap the two zongzi leaves in half, fold the bottom zongzi leaves up a bit, take the center line as the standard, and fold the right side to the left side straight. ”
Aunt Liu said slowly, demonstrating with her hands.
Liu Jingqing and Pan Chengchen both took zongzi leaves and followed Aunt Liu's technique.
"That's right, then fold it to the left, so that it is connected all around, and now put the glutinous rice into this cone. ”
"Remember, don't be too full, and then fold the front side of the zongzi leaf slightly inside, and fold the front side of the net to press the front zongzi leaf. ”
Then the left zongzi leaf is folded to the right, the right zongzi leaf is folded to the left, and then the zongzi leaf remaining in front of it is pressed down, and finally tied up with a small string, hehe, this zongzi is wrapped. ”
Aunt Liu said here, and the zongzi in her hand was also wrapped, a very beautiful triangular soybean filling zongzi, just wrapped.
"My rice dumplings are also wrapped. ”
Successfully wrapped a triangular zongzi, Liu Jingqing said excitedly.
"Mine is fine, too. ”
Pan Chengchen also said happily.
I have to say that these two girls are very smart, and they learned it all at once.
"Auntie, I also want to make zongzi. ”
Xiao Mengmeng just walked into the yard and saw Liu Jingqing and them making zongzi, and immediately said.
Children sometimes like to help adults.
"No need, Mengmeng is still young, when she grows up, I will help my aunt make zongzi. Liu Jingqing bent down and said to Xiao Mengmeng.
"Oh, then I'm going to play. ”
Seeing that he didn't want to help himself, Xiao Mengmeng felt that it was not interesting, so he went out to play.
Because of the large number of people, in half an hour, everyone finished wrapping the glutinous rice with soybeans in a basin, and a total of more than 70 triangular zongzi were wrapped.
After wrapping the soybean dumplings, they were replaced with salted duck egg dumplings, and Liu Jingqing took out all the salted duck eggs left at home this time, a total of forty.
"I'll pack one too. ”
Seeing that the zongzi wrapped by Pan Chengchen and a few people were so good-looking, Xiao Xian'er also had some itchy hands, and he also wanted to make a zongzi.
"Wash your hands first, otherwise no one will dare to eat the zongzi you wrapped. ”
Pan Chengchen glanced at Xiao Xian'er and said.
"I wash my hands right away. ”
When his daughter-in-law spoke, of course, Xiao Xian'er immediately went to the washboard in the small yard and washed her hands with tap water.
After washing, Xiao Xian'er also stood beside his daughter-in-law and wrapped the triangle seeds.
"I said, Xiao'er, what are you packing?"
Ye Rongrong looked at Xiao Xian'er's four dumplings a little speechlessly.
"Zongzi!"
Xiaoxian is quite satisfied with his results.
Listening to Ye Rongrong's words, everyone also looked at the zongzi in Xiao Xian'er's hand, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
The zongzi that Xiaoxian is wrapping now, how to say it, the middle is flat, the two ends are still big on one side, and the other is small, saying that the triangle is not like a triangle, saying that the rectangle is not like a rectangle, and the fusiform is not.
As Ye Rongrong said, it is four different from zongzi.
"Xiaoxian, you are a talent, you can wrap up these four different zongzi, it seems that we are going to add a new member to the zongzi category. ”
Liu Jingqing looked at the four rice dumplings wrapped by Xiao Xian'er, and said with some amusement. Such a strange zongzi, Liu Jingqing has seen it for the first time.
Seriously, it's really difficult to wrap this zongzi like this.
"I think the zongzi are cooked, so I will eat them for Xiaoshier, it's not easy!"
Ye Rongrong said with a smile. This little restaurant is really not a material for making zongzi, after watching Aunt Liu and them make zongzi for so long, they haven't learned yet.
"Not good!"
Xiao Xian'er suddenly remembered something.
"What's wrong?"
Pan Chengchen was by Xiao Shi'er's side, and was startled by Xiao Shi'er's startle.
"I forgot to put salted duck egg filling. Xiao Xian'er said a little embarrassed.
"Hehe......"
"Hehe......"
"Haha......"
Listening to Xiao Shi'er's words, everyone was immediately amused by him.
This little guy still has to come to help, which is simply a disservice.
"Forget it, this dumpling without filling is cooked, just give it to you to eat. After Pan Chengchen finished laughing, he said to Xiao Xian'er.
"I don't want to eat dumplings without filling. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Xian'er dismantled the zongzi he had made and poured the glutinous rice back into the basin.
"Forget it, you don't need to wrap zongzi, you go to the kitchen to boil the water in the cauldron and put the zongzi in a while. Aunt Liu said to Xiao Xian'er with a smile.
This bag of zongzi is really not something that men do, there is basically no man in the village who makes zongzi by hand, the technique of this bag of zongzi is not difficult, but it also takes skill to wrap zongzi, women are always more clever than men.
"Good. ”
In response, Xiao Xian'er went to the back kitchen to boil water.
After about ten minutes, the salted duck egg dumplings were wrapped, and Ye Rongrong carried the triangular dumplings bundled together to the back kitchen, and put the dumplings in a big country to cook.
The origin of this zongzi, there is a story, legend that in 340 B.C., the patriotic poet, Chu State doctor Qu Yuan, facing the pain of the loss of the country, on May 5, grief and indignation to hold the big stone into the Luo River, in order not to make the fish and shrimp damage his body, people have used bamboo tubes to pack rice into the river.
Later, in order to express the reverence and nostalgia for Qu Yuan, every day, people will use bamboo tubes to pack rice, throw into the river to pay tribute, this is the origin of the earliest zongzi "tube zongzi".
Later, someone dreamed of a person at night, claiming to be Dr. Sanlu (Qu Yuan's official name), and said to him: "The things you sacrifice have been stolen by the dragon in the river, and you can wrap them in zongye leaves and tie up the five-colored silk threads, and the dragon is most afraid of these two things." ”
So, people wrapped rice with zongzi leaves to make zongzi like this, which slowly flowed down. It has become a must-eat snack during the Dragon Boat Festival.
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the zongzi were cooked, and Ye Rongrong received a call from Weng Tao before he had time to eat a soybean zongzi.
Yesterday I visited a pirated website, and many people were complaining about the update of the otaku, complaining about the update at night, and even scolding me.
In this regard, under this statement, otaku writes part-time, and they have to go to work during the day, and they stay up late at night to write novels.
Otaku also want to be a full-time author, but so many of you watch piracy, I don't have any income, I don't go to work, what do I eat, what do my wives and children eat.
At that time, I was really going to starve to death, and once I starved to death, it was not a matter of not updating in advance, but a direct eunuch.
And the total number of updates in a month is about 290,000 words, which is already very hard for a part-time author.
