Chapter 199: Pulling out the sticks

After waking up the Tian family, he went to Zhang's house and started steaming glutinous rice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xi'er got up to make breakfast, Tian Yuliang and Zhang Qing had found a stone mortar in the village before, and they didn't know how many years it had been.

They had to use a cart to push it to the Tian family's compound, while Tian Cheng and Zhang Yi followed their grandfather to prepare the morning rations for the twenty white pigs behind.

Xi'er's cheating tool is simply the best weapon for everyone to be lazy, what kind of pigweed?

There are a lot of weeds that grow overnight in their vegetable garden alone, plus the red taro vines planted before, and all kinds of greens.

All you need to do is carry the basket and bring it back bundle by bundle.

However, these twenty pigs can really eat, and it costs nearly five cars to eat green alone.

For convenience, Zhang Qing was inspired by the wheelbarrow in the village, and assembled two by himself to replace the usual picking and lifting, which really saved a lot of effort.

And there is also a simple carriage made of wooden strips on it, which can hold hundreds of pounds of things.

Usually bulldozing and pushing pigweed, the old man and the two children can do it.

Otherwise, with two shoulders to pick it back, it would be almost the life of the old man.

By the time Xi'er's breakfast was ready, they had already transported the pigweed back, and Zhang Qing and Tian Yuliang were also sweating profusely and pushing a big stone into the yard.

"Mom, come over for dinner!" Xi'er stood in the doorway and shouted.

Zhang Qing hurriedly stuffed two pieces of hard wood into the stove, ran over quickly, and went back after eating three or two bites.

Glutinous rice must be guarded by people, not too steamed, and when it is about to be cooked, it will be cooked.

After Xi'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, she began to clean the stone mortar.

One foot and five inches square, about more than 200 catties, no wonder Dad and Uncle Zhang were tired and sweating profusely when they got it.

There are also two five-foot-long glutinous sticks for beating glutinous cakes, which Zhang Qing got in the village through Li Ying's description, and I don't understand how he did it.

Fortunately, the tools are complete, and the adults and children are all excited when they hear about today's rice cakes.

Helped clean up the square table, and there was a bamboo dustpan for glutinous rice cakes.

There were fine salt and cooked soybean flour in the two large bowls, and Li Ying sighed again, the countryside is good.

You can grow whatever you want to eat, albeit hard.

But it's not easy to queue up early in the morning with others to buy it, both money and tickets, and the key is to limit the time limit.

That's so atmospheric!

Xi'er snickered, the simple mother still thinks that other people's homes are the same as their own, what do you have to plant?

Zhang Qing was already shouting over there, saying that the glutinous rice was about to be steamed, and asked the man to move it.

After pouring the steamed glutinous rice into the stone mortar, Zhang Qing and Tian Yuliang took off their cotton jackets, rolled up their sleeves in a single coat, picked up the glutinous sticks, and began to pound them in the stone mortar.

Because Li Ying said that the glutinous sticks should be made of cypress, and they can only be made from very thick and dense trees.

When he carried a piece of the tree back and asked if this would work, everyone admired the five-body body to the ground.

Although the finished glutinous rice stick itself is very heavy, the glutinous rice that has just come out of the pot is not very sticky, so it is not very tiring when pounding it in front.

But in the back, as the glutinous rice becomes more and more rotten and sticky, it often takes one or two hundred catties of effort to pull the glutinous stick out of the stone mortar.

He pulled up the glutinous sticks that had slipped two feet to the field, and then raised the glutinous sticks high above his head again with both hands, and smashed them into it with all his strength.

Every time the stick is struck, a dull crashing sound will be heard, and even a slight vibration of the ground will be felt under your feet.

Several children watched with relish from the side, Zhang Qing and Tian Yuliang were sweating profusely, and Xi'er had to go over to help them wipe them from time to time.

Then Zhang Qing always couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to have a daughter, it's daddy's pro-padded jacket." ”

Li Ying couldn't laugh next to her, and the old man picked up Xi'er even more preciously, which made Zhang Qing rare.

During this time, the old man was getting older and younger for the sake of doughnuts and sweeteners.

It's easy to sell cuteness, but fortunately, everyone has gradually gotten used to it.

Especially in order to please Xi'er and not let the doughnuts and sweeteners be beaten, the old man has no bottom line of principles.

Every time everyone looks at the old and the young, for the sake of two seemingly innocent, but actually very cunning doughnuts and sweeteners, they can't wait to take a cup of tea and watch the show with melon seeds.

"It's rare that a daughter was born by herself, don't worry about my family's Xi'er." Tian Yuliang was nakedly envious in Zhang Qing's eyes, and he was inspired.

One by one, smashing the stone mortar, the rhythm even has a tendency to get faster and faster.

"Are you crazy?" Zhang Qing kept up, and didn't forget to mess with him.

After beating for more than 20 minutes, the glutinous rice was completely beaten into glutinous rice, and Li Ying shouted "stop".

The two of them shook off a sweat, picked up the tea jar in Xi'er's hand, and drank it all away.

This thing is to take a breath, and it will be difficult to find a rhythm after a pause in the middle, and the glutinous rice cakes will also be affected.

This is what Li Ying's mother told her, when she was a child, playing glutinous rice was a thing that the whole village attached great importance to, and the whole village would come to watch.

People who choose to play glutinous rice are also very cautious, their physical fitness is not too hard, and they are not strong laborers at all.

Two people cooperate at the same time, not only the rhythm must cooperate, but also the strength.

If one of them is beating, and the glutinous stick cannot be pulled out, the young men watching next to him will laugh, and the young man who is beating the glutinous rice will also be embarrassed.

There are several girls in the middle who are secretly watching.

Therefore, for the previous glutinous rice cakes, this work is also a stage to show the strength of men.

Extending to the back, it is even often used as a metaphor for things between men and women.

The fact that he can't pull out the glutinous stick also means that this man is really useless.

After beating the glutinous rice cake, Li Ying pulled out a piece from the stone mortar and dipped it in soybean flour and fine salt, which was soft and delicious.

Several children fell in love with the taste at once.

But I was told not to eat more, glutinous rice was pressed, and I was careful that I couldn't eat for a day.

Li Ying couldn't help but sigh, it is still the taste of childhood, and even when you were a child, it was even more fragrant.

Xi'er pursed her lips and snickered, the materials are different, the people are different~~

After finishing the work, Li Ying did not forget Miao Qing, a good friend, as soon as the child saw this small and delicate nod, he immediately happily forgot the unpleasantness of peanuts and dried red taro before.

When she couldn't finish eating a meal, Li Ying kneaded them into balls one by one, dried them and soaked them in water, and they would not spoil them for more than ten days.

Xi'er especially liked this fragrant and refreshing taste, and secretly took some of it and put it in the freezer of the space.

Chilled, it tastes even better!

Not only her, but also the golden retriever loved this dim sum, and was even inspired to develop more delicious dim sum later.

Xi'er's benefits are one more!

After beating the glutinous rice cakes, in Li Ying's words, it is about to officially enter the preparatory period for the New Year.

Cat Niuer said

There is also the last watch, which must be finished before 12 o'clock, and everyone will go to bed early if they are sleepy. I'll try to do it as early as possible tomorrow, so I can watch it when I have time during the day.
