Xiaoxi nodded affirmatively, "Yes, there are also salty rice balls, and some places are also wrapped in meat filling." ”

"Ah~ Isn't this a dumpling?" Is this still a dumpling? Chen Yubin had already stopped what he was doing, and listened to Xiaoxi talk about things he didn't know with relish.

"This is also a custom there, just like we eat brown sugar dumplings here. And the one that wraps the fruit and flowers in the rice balls. ”

"Ah, fruits and flowers can also be wrapped in rice balls?" Chen Yubin was already very surprised when he heard the meat-filled rice balls, and when he heard that fruits and flowers were also wrapped in rice balls, he was even more surprised, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs were about to jump out of his sockets, "Is that delicious?" asked in disbelief.

Xiaoxi shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't eaten it either, but think about it, if you really wrap fruits and flowers in the rice balls, think about the taste, huh~" She fought twice, frowned, and looked disgusted, "I guess it's not delicious." ”

To fight a war is to tremble.

Chen Yubin nodded and agreed: "I don't think it's delicious either." Granny Chen also nodded in agreement. Although Old Man Chen didn't say it, he agreed in his heart.

Xiaoxi continued: "And the colorful rice balls, the white rice balls are dyed in various colors. ”

Chen Yubin's face showed interest, and he asked curiously: "Are the colored rice balls dyed with fuel?" He had only seen colored pens, ink, and red paint, but thinking about it, using these to dye it, it is estimated that no one would eat the rice balls made.

"No, it's to squeeze out the juice of colored vegetables such as spinach, carrots, and purple cabbage, replace water with vegetable juice, and knead glutinous rice flour into dough, which will naturally be dyed. ”

"Oh~ That's it...... Then, it is estimated that the rice balls made must be very beautiful, and it can make people's appetite open when they look at it. Chen Yubin looked up at the air and made up for it on his own.

Xiaoxi's eyes flashed, his hands clapped, and he said to Old Man Chen excitedly: "By the way, grandpa, when we are fifteen, we can also make some different rice balls! There are no sesame seeds at home, so when the time comes, go to the market to see if they are sold on the street.

Hmm~ Forget the salty rice balls, I guess we can't get used to it, and there are fruit rice balls and flower rice balls, I don't think it's delicious, forget it, ah~ We can also squeeze the vegetable juice to make colored rice balls. Ah~ I want to eat it now. ”

"Huh...... I want to eat it too, hiss~" Chen Yubin looked at the stream with straight eyes, swallowed his saliva exaggeratedly, and his voice was so loud that the old man Chen beside him heard it.

"Yes, when the time comes, it will be lively and lively. Let's also try the new, try to see what the rice balls people eat tastes like, and what is different from ours. Old Man Chen looked at Xiaoxi with great satisfaction, and thought to himself: It seems that this trip to Beijing has increased a lot of knowledge.

When I looked back and saw Chen Yubin, I thought angrily: Why have they all been to Beijing, this one, still so stupid, I haven't learned anything, so I think about eating.

Because the rice balls can't be stored for a long time, they can be wrapped in a pot, so Xiaoxi picked them up in a basin and served them to Granny Chen, and fried them in an oil pot. Again, put it in the storeroom while it is hot.

At the beginning, Chen Yubin was still carefully remembering which dumplings were filled and which were not. But the white and tender glutinous rice balls are placed together, and after a while, I am dazzled, and I still remember where it is. Just put it aside and don't remember it anymore.

Hmm~ The fried glutinous rice balls are crispy and glutinous, so delicious, Xiaoxi closed his eyes in enjoyment, supported his chin, sat in front of the stove, and leisurely roasted the fire. Add a handful of firewood from time to time, so that the fire does not go out, and you do not let the fire burn too much.

Carefully picked up the remaining white fat rice balls on the board one by one and threw them directly into the pot, quickly sinking to the bottom of the pot, and Old Man Chen followed Chen Yubin to sit by the fire to rest. After a busy day, I basically stood up, and when I was old, I couldn't stand it.

Even if Xiaoxi added a lot of spiritual spring water to the draft, their bodies were transformed, stronger than their peers, and their physical strength was also vigorous, but on this busy day, it was enough to choke, and the physical work was basically handed over to him.

There was some soreness in his lower back, and he couldn't help but beat his waist and pat his shoulders with his own hands.

Chen Yubin, who was sitting on the side and dozing off, heard it, opened his hazy eyes, yawned, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, quickly got up, stood behind Old Man Chen, and clenched his fists to help him beat his back.

Today he was tired when he was pounding red mud, and the rest of the time was very relaxed, the boy was already strong, but it was past eight o'clock, and it was time for him to go to bed in the past, so he would sit by the fire and doze off.

Feeling the weight on his body, Old Man Chen couldn't help but smile with relief, the grandson he raised was sorry for himself.

Seeing that Granny Chen on the stove was bubbling with sour water, she couldn't help but gouge out Old Man Chen's eyes.

Seeing that there wasn't much pumpkin pie left to fry, Xiaoxi got up and washed the middle pot, filled the pot with water, covered it, and boiled the pot.

Because the pot was also boiling outside, the pot of water soon made a boiling sound, and it was about to be boiled. I went to the bedroom and got the kettle, and by the way, I also brought the thermos cup of Mr. Chen.

Pour out the remaining sediment in the kettle, and now the water in the pot is boiling, scoop a small half scoop of cold water and pour it in, and just after the waves are still rolling, it will be depressed.

After a few seconds of settling, quickly scoop the water and fill the pot, or after a while, the pot will be opened again, the thermos cup will be filled, and a large scoop of boiling water will be scooped up to dry.

She still learned this trick from Granny Chen. Boiling water will turn the sediment at the bottom of the pot up, add some cold water, the water in the pot will not tumble, and the precipitation will sink to the bottom of the pot, so that the boiling water scooped up will have less sediment.

Put the cup on the dining table behind Old Man Chen, and remind him to put the kettle in a conspicuous place next to the board, so that he will not forget to take it when he leaves.

Take out some fish balls and cut them in half, put them in the pot, let the pot cook for two minutes, and start below. I also found out that I chose two to three sections of oil and wheat vegetables, washed them with water, and put them in the pot when the noodles were almost ready. Add oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other seasonings, add oil and wheat vegetables, and this pot of noodles is ready.

Xiaoxi likes to eat oily wheat vegetables, especially hot pot, spicy hot pot and the like. They didn't have this thing, or the seeds she deliberately found when she went to Beijing and planted them in the space.

For green vegetables, Xiaoxi likes to eat harder ones, which are extremely crisp to bite.

So as soon as the oil and wheat vegetables came out of the pot, she scooped all the noodles into the iron basin, scooped two scoops of water, and burned the dishwashing water on the embers at the bottom of the pot, after all, her hands were frozen in winter.

The basin is brought to the dining table, the dishes and chopsticks have been set, everyone should eat more and eat less, eat dry and eat thin and scoop it themselves.

"Mother, the greens I cooked are a little hard. Xiaoxi reminded me, which means that if you don't eat it, don't fish it.

Granny Chen really didn't catch a single green vegetable, she has bad teeth and doesn't like to eat hard. Old man Chen is good at this, but he has caught a lot of green vegetables.

I picked up a small basket of fried red balls, pumpkin cakes, fried rice balls, a few pieces of jujube cake and a few pieces of fish tofu.

After all, the fish tofu is cold, so it will be hot if it is left to soak at the bottom of the bowl for a while, and then eaten again.

There was a small bowl of kimchi and a bowl of stir-fried sauerkraut next to it, and Xiaoxi felt that only these two things were a perfect match with noodles.

After the meal, as usual, Granny Chen washed the dishes, and the hot oil in the pot on the side had already been scooped up, and it was put on the cutting board to cool before it could be filled into a bucket.

After Granny Chen finished washing the dishes, she added a few scoops of water to the pot, and added two handfuls of firewood to the creek, so she didn't care, and a few people sat by the fire and waited for hot water.

The boiling water that had just dried in the creek was a little cold when she remembered it, so she poured some boiling water from the kettle, and mixed it warmly, not hot to the mouth. He took four small bowls, scooped a few spoonfuls of honey, mixed them with warm boiled water, and brought them to a few people by the fire.

Sit down, take a sip of honey water, ah~ I feel that the fatigue of this day has disappeared completely, and I have recovered a lot of vitality.

"Oh, Binbin, come and give me a beating on the back, hey~ My shoulder hurts." Remembering the scene when Chen Yubin beat Old Man Chen's back just now, Granny Chen put down the bowl, rubbed her shoulders and shouted.

"Haha......" Old Man Chen looked at Granny Chen and smiled strangely, but he didn't say anything.

Granny Chen glanced at him viciously, and her old face was slightly red. But with the light on her back, and there was only a large pile of coals left on the fire at this time, no one saw it, only she felt that her face was slightly hot, but she didn't dare to touch it.

Chen Yubin didn't notice this series of small actions, he was not impatient or refused, so he stood behind Granny Chen and helped beat her back. Granny Chen closed her eyes in enjoyment, it was so comfortable! I just didn't know if it was physical or mental.

After a few people finished washing, they went back to the bedroom.

"Master, lie down and get up, I'll pinch it for you. Xiaoxi pushed Old Man Chen to the bedside.

Because the handy side was blocked by the desk, I took off my shoes and went to bed. The quilt was still cold at this time, and she didn't dare to take off her socks.

Chen Yubin, who was a step slower, stood under the bed, looking at Xiaoxi pouting and stomping his feet, "Uh~um~" to express his dissatisfaction.

"Then, Binbin will give me two to sleep tonight. Granny Chen, who entered the door later, saw it and proposed. It's been a long time since she's slept with her good grandson.

Xiaoxi didn't say anything, and looked at him for a long time.

"Hmm~No. Said categorically. He always knew that he was a man, how could he sleep with a girl, he had to sleep with his grandfather.

Seeing that he was so anxious that he was about to cry, Xiaoxi stopped teasing him, and said loosely: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you, and I won't rob your bed, I'll give your grandfather's back and return the position to you, stingy ghost~" Rolled his eyes at him, just as Old Man Chen took off his coat and lay on the bed, Xiaoxi pulled the quilt to cover the lower half of his body, and turned around to pinch his back.

Hearing that he didn't want to grab the bed with himself, Chen Yubin laughed out loud, and sat on the edge of the bed and waited. Looking at Xiaoxi's skillful technique, I couldn't help but immerse myself in it and learn those two tricks.
