The next day, Lin Xuecai and Duan Chuyun came out of the space, this is twenty-eight, and in two days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and Duan Izumo is also with the Ouyang family, because the Duan family is only two, and they don't do too much, Duan Chuyun is afraid of trouble, so he pulls glutinous rice to Ouyang's house.

The glutinous rice was soaked by Duan Chuyun the morning before yesterday, and this will only need to be brought over to Grandma Su Yu to serve the wooden retort. (Wooden retort?) It is a special rice steaming utensil, the retort is made of thick wood chips, the diameter is usually about half a meter, the top is wide and the bottom is narrow, and the lower part is placed with a bamboo strip to form a spire hat-shaped partition, which can not only make the rice not stick to the water in the pot, but also facilitate the steam to enter. ）

Lin Xue followed behind, holding three cleaned wooden printing plates, which were made by the old craftsmen in the village, and there were six printing pits on one printing plate, and the pits were carved with beautiful patterns, such as magpies climbing branches, rich and noble flowers, and bamboo reporting peace.

"Lao Duan, you just came, you are all angry, just wait for your glutinous rice." Grandma Su Yu was standing under the eaves with an apron, and when she saw Lin Xue and the two come in, she beckoned Duan Chuyun to bring the glutinous rice to the stove house. (The kitchen and the stove house in the countryside are not the same place, the kitchen is usually used for cooking, and the stove house is used for such a large banquet or the killing of pigs and other solar terms.) "Get out! Zhiyuan went to Lao Rui's house to see the right frame, it should be almost the same, so Lao Rui's family fought by himself. ”

(The opposite frame is made of medium stone, which is specially used in the countryside to pound glutinous rice, and the square is a concave shape in the middle.) ）

"Grandma Suyu, the right frame is here, is it okay to put it in the hall?" Outside, the voice of Raven's little fat man came, Lin Xue sat by the stove and lit the fire, and seeing that there was not much water, she scooped two scoops of water from the cauldron on the other side.

"Brother Rui, are you here to help with the glutinous rice cakes?" Lin Xue stood at the door of the stove house and shouted outside, seeing that Raven's father and uncle, as well as other people in the village, and Xie Yifei's family were here.

"Uncle Xie, Aunt Xie, you're here too!"

"Light snow. You're here! Let's play glutinous rice with your Grandpa Ouyang's family. "Aunt Xie is wearing an apron and sleeves on both hands, Aunt Xie is a well-known card hand nearby, and the glutinous dumplings that are twisted out are not big or small.

"My aunt just helped us finish making glutinous rice cakes. Xiaoxue has arrived at your house! Ruiqin, who was wearing a bright red down jacket, Ruiwen's sister, was twenty-one years old, Aunt Rui was so anxious that she always said that she wanted to help Ruiqin talk about others, but Ruiqin always said that she was not in a hurry, she had not graduated from college yet, so she was at home during the Chinese New Year, and she was studying in Shanghai at other times.

"Sister Ruiqin, you're back!" Lin Xue threw a few pieces of wood into the stove pocket. Ruiqin watched the water in the cauldron over there boil, and took the scoop and added two scoops of water.

Looking at the little girl sitting on the small bench, I thought that the little girl doll had also grown up, and I remembered the little doll that followed Ouyang Zhiyuan and his younger brother when I was a child, and time passed so fast. "Yes! If you don't come back. It's no wonder that your Aunt Rui doesn't scold you to go to school. ”

There was already a commotion outside, surrounded by a group of little dolls, Xie Bo and the uncles of the Rui family had already washed the box, sprinkled it with wine, and waited for the glutinous rice here.

Ouyang Zhiyuan, Xie Yifei, and Raven have been looking forward to it for a long time. In everyone's expectation, Grandma Suyu's voice said, "Okay." As the rice became more and more fragrant, Grandma Suyu took a spoon and beat out a third of the steamed glutinous rice. Lin Xue withdrew some of the wood, and couldn't burn such a big fire anymore.

It looks easy to fight, but it's really not easy. Generally, beginners' sticks will either stick to the glutinous rice and cannot be lifted, or they will "fight" with each other for a while, and it will not take long to feel that their arms are weak and weak. Local villagers firmly say that making glutinous rice is actually a technical job. Pay attention to fast, accurate, stable and ruthless, so that the glutinous rice can be beaten evenly, porcelain is solid, sticky and tough.

The glutinous rice in the first frame will be more difficult to beat, so the Ruijia brothers directly started in person. didn't let Ouyang Zhiyuan's three boys do sabotage. At first, the two of them started to fight hard and ruthlessly, this person hammered down, and the other person immediately followed, so that the glutinous rice was relatively loose, and he was afraid that the glutinous rice would fly out of the frame, and second, because the glutinous rice was sticky and sticky. The two of you and I took a look, and then it got faster and faster, and the strength was also greater, and in the end, the two of them looked at the fight and slowly stopped the speed.

After it was finished, Aunt Xie came over with a dustpan covered with layers of glutinous rice flour, and the two Rui brothers worked together to prop up the balls that had been beaten and cottoned, and then Aunt Xie used a rope made of straw to strangle the rice dumplings from the wooden sheets.

The men took a break, and the next thing was the women's work, Aunt Xie's technique was good, one twist was accurate, the Rui family and Lin Xue pressed the dumplings one by one in the printing plate, and after a while, the beautiful dumplings with auspicious patterns came out.

Seeing that it was almost over here, Grandma Suyu over there began to play the other third again, and when the glutinous rice cakes came down one by one, the arms of the men outside were sore, and they were all sweating in such a cold winter.

Ouyang Zhiyuan, who was originally greedy for fun, also had sore arms, but the three of them each grabbed a handful of beaten glutinous rice cakes in the last frame, and went to the house to dip some sugar and eat Huan.

"You're a foodie." Ruiqin came out of the house, and just spread Aunt Xie on the bamboo mat upstairs of Ouyang's house, and when it is cold tomorrow, the glutinous rice will be hard, just take it back one by one.

"Sister, I'm not the only one who eats." Raven was wronged, Ouyang Zhiyuan ate it, and Xie Yifei also ate it, why am I the only one who becomes a foodie?

Lin Xue smiled, Sister Ruiqin was really funny, and she began to reveal the old bottom of Ruiwen's little fat man again. took the glutinous rice cake that Ouyang Zhiyuan gave him, and sprinkled white sugar in it, which made people very appetizing at first glance.

"Everyone in the village can eat it, and you can produce three glutinous rice cakes in one breath, who do you say can compare to you!" Ruiqin didn't pay attention to her younger brother, and pulled Lin Xue out. "Elementary school, let's go, my sister will take you to listen to the song."

"Sister, are you still my sister?" Raven was in a hurry, when was that time, and he always made fun of that old Huang Li. "Don't laugh, Xie Yifei, if you laugh again, I'll break off your friendship with you." Looking at the two friends who were smiling all over the place, the real guy went crazy.

"Oops! When was that time, you still laughed at me. ”

"Haha! At that time, it was so edible, but now it is not even more ......" Ouyang Zhiyuan had a dark belly, nodded a little bit, and chased Lin Xue and the two in front of him to leave, so as not to make someone crazy.

"That's ......" Xie Yifei dropped a sentence unceremoniously and fled immediately.

"Ahhh......h You bad guys...... Bad guys! ”

Rattle...... Several people felt the sound of ghosts screaming from behind them, and they walked faster.
