Chapter 108: The Rake
When he rushed home with his bicycle on his shoulder, he happened to meet Master Li, who was rushing to the car, and had to sigh that he had to believe in science, and the bicycle carried people faster than the carriage.
"Fourth sister, fifth sister, I'm back." As soon as he reached the edge of the dam, he shouted.
Who wants their parents to be at home, it turns out that the production team got off work early today, but the second sister hasn't come back yet, so it's because of the delay on the road.
"Old man, Mom, these are all things I bought, you pack them up first, and I'll go to the town to wait for the second sister." Fang Dajun immediately decided, although it would only take about forty minutes to walk back from the town, didn't he have a bicycle, he couldn't patronize his sister and ignore his sister.
"Cheng, you go and come back quickly, the production team has sent five catties of wine rice (glutinous rice), and we will eat it at night." Fang Donghua was full of smiles, his son felt sorry for his daughter, this is a great thing.
Fang Dajun nodded, took out the candy in his pocket and stuffed it into the two sisters, and then hummed and carried the bicycle to the road.
When the moon cake is not popular, the glutinous rice is the main force of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Sichuan, the glutinous rice is cleaned, soaked in water for several hours, the net cloth is padded on the basket, the soaked glutinous rice is taken out and spread on the cloth, covered and steamed with a strong fire, it is best to pass the water once in the middle, and then take it out and put it into the nest, and the mushroom becomes a rake.
Sweet and glutinous, the taste is unique, you can also add ingredients, soybeans, sesame, peanuts, red and white sugar, etc., you can also fry and eat, fry and eat, roast and eat.
The cost performance is quite high, and the ingredients required are simple, but they are rare nowadays, because the yield of glutinous rice is not as good as ordinary rice, and a production team does not have much field for planting. A few catties are used to make a rake in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a few catties are used to make glutinous rice balls during the New Year.
And you just have money and food stamps, and you can't buy glutinous rice at the grain station, because there is little local planting, and you won't hand it in, of course, it depends on the regional situation.
We workers have power,
Hey! We workers have power!
Busy with work every day,
Hey! Busy with work every day,
built into a tall building,
built a railway coal mine,
The world has changed!
Hey!
Fang Dajun hummed a little song, all the way to Beidou, although tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, but Beidou's market day has not changed, it is still a single number to catch the market, today is the 30th, Beidou is a little deserted.
But the supply and marketing cooperatives are still ajar doors, and there is no second sister for the time being, and no passenger cars pass by, so I simply went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to observe, as expected, I did not see the necessities of the woman's house.
Psychologically, when I earn a sum of money, I will go to the big city outside to have a look, and guard the coal as the backing to engage in some industry, uh! Sanitary napkins can also be regarded as an industry, as well as instant noodles and ham sausages, which are fast-selling products in life and can withstand the waves of the times.
I remember the last life, in the early nineties, when the mineral water came out, a bottle of money and a bottle of dust could not be sold, the market was very bleak at the end of the nineties, but after the 21st century, mineral water has become a necessity of life.
Therefore, when choosing an industry, you have to see it, the core of the four words, there is water and fast flow!
At this time, an atmospheric charter bus was belated, and stopped at the bridge, Fang Dajun hurriedly stepped on the bicycle and rushed over, just in time to see the second sister get off the car.
"Sister, this way!"
As soon as Fang Yan heard the familiar shout, he immediately smiled, "Brother, why are you still in the town." ”
"Hehe, I'm waiting for you, get in the car, let's eat the rake tonight." Fang Dajun greeted.
When Fang Yan heard this, Ma slipped into the back seat, and his hands naturally hugged his waist, which made Fang Dajun stunned slightly, but his feet did not stop, the twenty-eight phoenix started, directly mentioned the speed of fifteen yards, and disappeared at the end of the street.
"Dongmei, don't you see that is an army?" He Caijian, who had just gotten out of the car, pointed to the front and shouted, he was Fang Dajun's junior high school classmate.
At this time, a girl with long hair came down from behind, and hurriedly looked into the street, only to see a bicycle carrying people disappearing at the end, "It can't be him, how can he have a bicycle." ”
"Why can't it, didn't I meet him outside the school last time, he said to see his sister. I saw that the back was the army, and most of the people behind it were his sister who was in cram school. He Caijian said firmly, but it was a pity that they were sitting in the back seat just now, and they had to take the burden when they got out of the car, so they delayed for a while, otherwise they would definitely be able to see clearly.
"Then he can't have a bike." Tang Dongmei replied, a little incredulous.
"That's not for sure, the last time I saw him, he smoked the filter, if he didn't have money, he wouldn't be able to go to the county to play tricks, don't care if it's him, you can go to his house and find someone." He Caijian suggested that the homes of both of them were on the mountain, and it would take an hour to get there, which was not too far away.
"Go to him?" Tang Dongmei looked at the end of the street and was a little distracted......
――――――――――
When Fang Dajun and the second sister arrived at home, the glutinous rice had been steamed in the pot, and the mother and two sisters were dealing with the green bamboo, the so-called green bamboo, the appearance looks like the sugarcane in the growth period, after the leaves are chopped off, the inside is the emerald green bamboo stick, very smooth, the local custom is to use this bamboo to rake and eat, there is a faint fragrance. But it seems that in addition to the rake, this kind of bamboo has no other use, in the previous life Fang Dajun has seen green bamboo in the garden landscape of the city, but no one has used it to rake.
My father was cleaning the nest on the side, the stone round groove made of stone, with a pestle (spoon rod), used to scoop rice, noodles, peppercorns, chili powder, etc., which was relatively backward, and later generations have been replaced by machines, or made of steel, and stone products are rarely used in rural areas.
"Swallow, go wash the handles, it's time to rake the glutinous rice." Mother beckoned, this work should be done while it is hot, and it will not be good if it is cold.
"Okay!" Fang Yan put down her bag and went to fetch water and wash her hands, in previous years, she was the main force in raking, as for her younger brother, just take a look at it next to her, just wait to eat.
Fang Dajun was a little embarrassed at this time, the gentleman stayed away from the kitchen, he was not the main force in the kitchen in the past, but now it is different, he wants to lay the rake with his own hands, so he said: "Mom, let me come, I have a lot of strength." ”
"Okay, let my son fight." Fang Donghua responded, but he misunderstood, thinking that this was his son feeling sorry for his daughter.
Soon the steamed glutinous rice was brought out, the grains were even, and they did not stick together, but the glutinous rice itself has a lot of stickiness, and it is OK after pestle.
There is not much rice, only five catties, my mother scraped the rice into the stone nest with a wooden shovel, this trough is very deep, in the early years when the commune did not have a rice machine, it was used to eat rice, but at that time it had to be eaten with wooden sticks.
"Son, hit in the middle." The mother beckoned, and the mother had very thick calluses on her hands, and she was not afraid of getting hot, so she piled up a bag of glutinous rice in the nest with both hands.
Fang Dajun held a smooth and emerald green bamboo, stabilized his mind, and hit the nest according to the memory pestle, feeling that it was okay, and then pulled it out and then pestle, every once in a while, his mother would use her hands to plane the rice balls, and cooperate with him, which is the same as pushing and grinding, and you need someone to help.
"Hey!"
Fang Dajun worked hard to scoop the rice dumplings, but gradually, his arms became a little sore, and the frequency became slower and slower, "Mom, is it okay?" ”
"It's still early, it's delicious to break it." Mother Zhang smiled.
But Fang Dajun smiled reluctantly, if he knew that he would have to pestle hundreds of times in total, he was afraid that he would only cry.
"Brother, let me come, you didn't make the right pestle, you have to pestle the place where it is piled up." Fang Yan took the green bamboo in her brother's hand as she spoke, but she could see that her brother was tired.
Fang Dajun also got out of the way, feeling that his face was a little unbearable, or would he secretly practice first and wait for next year to save his respect?
As soon as Fang Yan made a move, he immediately compared his previous actions, and the mother and daughter cooperated very well, even if the mother occasionally wanted to shave rice balls, she didn't see the second sister pause, and there was a pleasing feeling.
Su Ye has a specialty, it seems that his specialty is to move his mouth!
As for the two girls, they have long been gluttonous, and they are circling around, but they usually don't have the opportunity to eat a mouthful of glutinous rice, and glutinous rice is also a good material for banquets, high-end goods.
As for the father who has crossed Erlang's legs to the side to smoke a big cigarette, pure masters should be like this!
The rice ball became more and more sparse under the ingenuity of the second sister, and the stickiness was greater, at this time the advantages of the green bamboo came into play, that is, the non-sticky rice, if it was replaced with a wooden stick, I was afraid that it was already covered with rice balls at this time, and the more rotten it was, the more sticky it was. From this point of view, it seems that the green bamboo should be used for glutinous rice by nature.
"Oh no, Mom, did you take out the sesame seeds I bought?" Fang Dajun only remembered this.
"No, I didn't mess with what you bought." Mother echoed.
Fang Dajun hurriedly ran into the house, rummaged through the sugar, sesame seeds, and peanuts, followed by two small tails, "Hehe, this is sesame, you have to go through the pot." ”
After about ten minutes, the rice dumplings were pressed into cakes of different sizes, which was the rice rake, and the crispy peanuts and sesame seeds were also powdered and evenly sprinkled on the rice rake, which must be hot, otherwise it would not stick up.
After the harrow is cooled, it is difficult to cut it with a knife, let alone bite with teeth, so it has to be eaten while it is hot, or it will have to be processed again, and the harrow will soften as soon as it is heated, becoming soft and glutinous, it is really a good thing, it can be stored for about ten days, and it will become moldy after too long.
"It's time to eat!" Fang Dajun shouted with a smile on his face, grabbed a big harrow in his hand, pestled it in the white sugar bowl and put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Not! This taste is simple and overbearing, the sweetness of rice, bamboo, sesame, peanut, sugar, and the unique sticky taste of glutinous rice, these flavors are combined together, run in by the upper and lower teeth, sent to the tongue, and exploded in the mouth.
Finally, it went down the throat to the stomach, and the pores of the whole body were dilated at this moment, and there was a feeling of being feathered and ascended to heaven, well, this is not eating ginseng fruit, of course the real situation cannot be so exaggerated, but it is definitely delicious.
"It's so delicious, brother, the fifth sister likes to eat sesame seeds!"
"The fourth sister also likes to eat!" The two girls were in a frenzy, fighting over the remaining sesame powder in the bowl......
