The preparation of glutinous rice balls is not complicated.

The ingredients of the skin are mainly glutinous rice flour, and the filling is made of different ingredients according to the different tastes. Lard is a must, sugar is also needed, salt can be used or not, and others can be used sesame seeds, peanuts, etc.

For Wu Xiaozheng, glutinous rice, lard, sesame seeds, peanuts and other raw materials are readily available, and they only need to be processed.

Glutinous rice, peanuts, sesame seeds, etc., are all ground into flour.

This is not a difficult thing for Wu Xiaozheng.

Because of the needs of the food processing factory, the Wu family has already spent more than 1,000 yuan to buy a small food mill, and grinding is not a problem.

If you want to do it, just do a little more.

Wu Xiaozheng first used a pot to fry peanuts and sesame seeds in a pot.

Then, he started the mill and first milled the glutinous rice into flour, followed by peanuts and sesame seeds, all of which were ground into flour for later use.

Next is the lard.

There are two types of lard.

One is the oil boiled with fatty meat, in the countryside, this oil is called water oil, it is watery paste after cooling, and it is not suitable for making glutinous rice balls.

The other is plate oil, which is boiled out of the fat in the pork belly, and when cooled, it will solidify into a solid lump.

The reason why you need to use plate oil to make glutinous rice balls is that it has this coagulation characteristic.

For example, the ingredients of sesame filled rice balls are about 2 parts sesame seeds, 4 parts sugar, 3 parts of plate oil, and 1 part of water are heated and stirred into a paste in proportion, and then put in the refrigerator for a while to solidify.

The Wu family doesn't have a refrigerator now, but now the outdoor temperature is not high, and it will quickly solidify at room temperature, which will not affect the production.

Because Wu Xiaozheng uses both peanuts and sesame seeds, this naturally means that he has to make two kinds of fillings.

This thing is really not difficult for Wu Xiaozheng to do, but it just takes some time.

Soon, two different fillings are ready, glutinous rice flour is also mixed with a small amount of flour, and then kneaded into an elastic dough with water, and the next step is to wrap the rice balls.

It's a lot of fun.

Therefore, before the bag, Wu Xiaozheng deliberately went to arrest Wu Xiaoli and Yang Zongwei, who were having fun outside.

As soon as they heard that there were dumplings to eat, the two little ones were so excited.

In this era, because flour milling is not convenient for most families, and the glutinous rice balls that can be seen everywhere in supermarkets in later generations are still very rare in this era, it is not easy for children to want to eat glutinous rice balls once.

Now as soon as they heard that they could make their own dumplings, the two little ones were immediately excited.

The process of packaging is also not complicated.

First, knead a small ball of glutinous rice dough into a small bowl, add an appropriate amount of filling, then knead the bowl mouth, and then knead it into a round ball in the palm of your hand.

Wu Xiaozheng carried out the division of labor.

He is in charge of the bag himself, and the two little ones are in charge of kneading.

Wu Xiaoli and Yang Zongwei are very excited, because their favorite game is kneading mud, and they are very good at kneading and kneading mud into various shapes.

Now what's the difference between this and kneading mud?

And they don't get dirty clothes and get scolded by adults, so the two little ones immediately like it.

Wu Xiaoli is a little skinny.

Obviously, it is enough to knead the rice balls into a round ball, but she still has to make some dough and rub them finely, and glue the eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc. to the rice balls, saying that she wants to make a small face.

Yang Zongwei did the same, and he also played along.

Wu Xiaozheng shook his head helplessly.

He didn't interfere with the two little ones.

At their age, as long as they had fun, let them play, he didn't expect the two little ones to help too much.

Happiness is the most important thing.

Wu Xiaozheng prepared a little too much, so this bag was an afternoon, almost until dinner.

Then he began to subcontract the rice balls.

He deliberately packed so much.

Glutinous rice, lard, peanuts, sesame, sugar, etc., are high-fat and high-calorie things, which are not beneficial to physical health.

Since the festival is coming, Wu Xiaozheng will share this joy with everyone first.

Of course, I have to prepare a copy at home, Wu Minxia's family will definitely be reunited here tomorrow night, but her mother-in-law is unwilling to come, so she has to bring a small share over.

Yang Guiping also had to give him a small share of the scene.

and Jiang Lihua, she has moved out to live in the village primary school now, and she must have a share.

Brother Jun's family also has to have a copy.

There is also Liu Shiquan, the village party secretary, who has helped a lot for the factory, so it is best to express my gratitude.

By the way, there is also Master and Master.

Although the old couple lived in the city and were a little far away, when they thought of their loneliness, Wu Xiaozheng felt that no matter how far away they were, they had to send a copy over!

Wu Xiaozheng began to run errands.

He first went to Brother Jun's house, then went to the village party secretary's house, and then went to the village primary school.

When he gave it to Jiang Lihua, Wu Xiaozheng felt a little bit again.

On the day of the family reunion tomorrow, this poor woman can't go back to her home, it should be said that she doesn't want to go back, she can only live alone, and it is desolate to think about it.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozheng simply said: "Otherwise, you will get off work early tomorrow, carry these rice balls, weigh some meat, and simply go back to your parents' house." ”

According to Wu Xiaozheng's idea, since she has no warmth at her in-law's house, there will always be warmth when she returns to her parents' house, right?

Jiang Lihua was moved.

Indeed, although she moved out, the thought of spending the holiday alone is really not a taste in her heart.

Besides, she really misses her mother's home.

However, she had scruples, and she said weakly: "I'm afraid my mother-in-law will know." ”

"It's okay, you talk to Wu Minxia tomorrow, just say I'll let you go out to run errands, and then leave after lunch and rush back after dinner, don't tell anyone else. ”

As soon as he said this, Wu Xiaozheng suddenly remembered that Jiang Lihua probably didn't have much money left over at this time, so he simply took out 50 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Jiang Lihua's hand.

"I'll borrow you and buy something for your parents. ”

Then he turned and ran.

Jiang Lihua was carrying a bag of rice balls in one hand and a banknote in the other, and tears flowed out of her eyes.

She has never felt so happy since she got married.

She really misses her parents.

Because Liu Jiangang had an accident, during the Chinese New Year this year, she originally went back to her parents' house, but she went back empty-handed and faceless, and Zhang Xiuhua was reluctant, so although she was close at hand, she still didn't go home.

She really misses her parents and brother.

Now, that warm-hearted teenager has thought about everything for her again, which really touches her immensely.

She didn't know how to thank the boy anymore.

Wu Xiaozheng didn't think about it so much, in his heart, Jiang Lihua in this life was already like a family member of his, and he would maintain it to the end.

Next, there is only the master's and master's family left.
