The Lu family worked together in the division of labor, and between talking and laughing, the cooking was wrapped.

Put the wrapped boiled rice into the pot with the chicken broth, the chicken is killed in the morning, and the chicken broth is fresh and rich.

When cooking, the fire should not be too strong, too strong is easy to cook the rice dumplings. Just medium heat, not slow, not only will not cook the rice dumplings, but also allow the umami of the chicken soup to fully integrate into the cooking rice dumplings.

The raw boiled rice is immersed in the soup, and as it is boiled over medium heat, the soup slowly floats on top of the soup noodles, which means that it is almost cooked.

Lu Jichen, who has a lot of experience in cooking rice dumplings, used a chopstick to insert it into the soup noodle stick, and the chopsticks passed through smoothly to see the mouth, the rice bowl was transparent, and it was ready to come out of the pot.

Eat the boiled rice while it is fresh and hot, take it out and put it in a bowl with a little soup.

When you take a bite, the chives stuffed with leeks, peanuts, white radish and pork are delicious and sweet, and the rice dumplings are tough and textured, and the taste is really good.

Breakfast was eaten sparingly, and the main meal was well eaten.

Lu Xi couldn't help but be glad that he had eaten less breakfast and had a lot of appetite to deal with the boiled rice.

Of course, before Lu Xi started eating, Lu's mother first served three bowls and worshiped the selfless stove king who has virtue and ability.

The stove is the protector of the house, can go to the sky to play good deeds, but can go down to the ground to keep safe.

Of course, what Lu's mother did was definitely not a bribe, and the stove was a god (, I want incense, after all, when I am full, I have the strength to go to heaven to report the things of the mortal world, isn't it, the emperor is not a hungry soldier.

After eating a full meal, I have eaten delicious boiled rice dumplings, and then I will take a break for ten minutes in the middle of the intermission, and then I will start to make shou peach dumplings.

Shou peach rice and boiled rice basket. On the operation. The front is pretty much the same.

Lu Jichen cut the ba. Lu's mother bag, Lu Xi quietly stole the teacher on the side.

There is a big difference in the process of wrapping, and the boiling dough is very simple to cover in reverse and knead into a half-moon shape.

Lu Xi's eyes widened, staring at the movements in his mother's hands without blinking.

I saw that she was holding the embryo with the mung bean paste with her left hand, and the opening of the embryo was clamped with her thumb and index finger with her right hand, and the big female finger did not move, and the middle finger and ring finger were along the edge of the embryo. Pick it up little by little, side? Wrap it in a circle, turn it around and seal it.

In this way, the longevity peach is wrapped.

Around the seal, there is a circle of beautiful folds, also called sealing flowers.

Mom's movements are fast and neat, and there is a rhythmic beauty, just like the legendary Ku Ding Jie Niu.

Lu Xi watched all the movements, like looking at a math problem, and then went through it in his mind. Then she found out that Bao Shou peach is similar to Bao Baozi.

It's not hard!

Lu Xi thought so. Picked up a cut embryo.

Of course, she can't compare to her mother, she slowed down, little by little.

The sealing flower is the main difficulty, to be beautiful, but also to be uniform, otherwise the thickness is different, which will affect the taste.

With the experience of wrapping buns in hand, Lu Xi practiced a few, and soon grasped the trick of pinching flowers.

Lu Jichen saw that Lu Xi was not good at the beginning, and was about to laugh, but then he saw that she was getting better and better, and after three or so, she was almost as good as her mother.

His already dormant heart couldn't help but stir again, and picked up a piece of embryo.

As a result, the results are still unsatisfactory. Just listen to Lu Xi's unladylike laughter.

Lu Jichen's immortal heart wrapped up the longevity peach cake, which was either broken, or wrapped into a four-like ball.

Lu Xi looked at his brother's envious and jealous look, and couldn't help but smile: "No way, ingenuity is a kind of talent, and people who are born with clumsy hands can't understand it." ”

Lu Jichen could only pretend not to hear it and bury his head in the embryo.

Shou peach is wrapped, in fact, it can't be said to be a real longevity peach, because there is neither longevity nor peach.

If you want to make a real longevity peach basket into a wrapped rice bowl, you need a mold.

This mold, also known as the seal, is made of a piece of wood, broken, hollowed out on one side, and carved the outline of the longevity peach, the delicate pattern and the word Fu Lu Shou in it.

Press the wrapped paper into the seal, and when you pour it out, there are two sides of the paper. The flat side is the back, and the other side is full and bulging like a large peach cut in half from the middle. And on this full side, you can see a protruding Fu character, and there are also longevity characters or Lu characters.

Then, as the name suggests, it is called Shou Tao after being printed with a seal.

Because it needs to be put into the stamp, the embryo will be added with more raw glutinous rice flour to make the embryo harder, otherwise it will be easy to break during branding.

Lu Xi felt very interesting when she saw her mother's branding, and after she wrapped a few, she picked up the seal and took over her mother's work and did the work of branding longevity peach cakes.

There are generally two molds for one printing, one is the longevity peach mold, and the other is the cake mold.

On weekdays, everyone uses more longevity peach molds, and cake dumplings are only used at special times.

However, Lu Xi was greedy for fun, and he also branded a few biscuit-like sticks.

"You like cookies so much, the elimination of these cookies will fall on you, don't throw them away when you can't eat them." Lu Jichen said to Lu Xi in an unpredictable tone.

"I eat it, I eat it, it's just a few cakes, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat it?" Lu Xi replied with a snort.

Then she found that Lu Jichen showed a strange triumphant smile, and the warning suddenly sounded in her heart, and she found that she seemed to have been fooled.

Later, after the cake was steamed, Lu Xi tasted it, and the taste was not so rich, and it was indeed worse than the peach-like taste.

The longevity peach that is printed with the seal is not directly taken and steamed. According to tradition, the leaves with a relatively large area plucked from the jackfruit tree are washed and used as a mat, and the back of the peach bowl is placed under the flat side, and then it is put into the steamer to steam.

So the leaves of this jackfruit tree are also called leaves.

What Lu Xi didn't know was that in the past, when the predecessor Lu Xi was still very naughty, the leaves of the previous Lu Xi were picked from the jackfruit tree by the predecessor Lu Xi himself every year.

The jackfruit trees of the Lu family are all decades or even hundreds of years old, and the leaves are high, five or six meters high, and it is thanks to the predecessor Lu Xi who is bold and careful, and there is no fear of heights, so he dares to do this.

Steamed in a steamer, while it is hot, a little red mark is placed on the front of the longevity peach basket, and all the work is considered to be successfully completed at this step.

It is said that in the past, when the Lu family was still very poor, there was a big meal during the New Year's holidays, and there were hundreds of good things like longevity peach cakes, which were rare to eat, or even two or three hundred.

Steamed out, a dustpan is stacked there, which is very spectacular. However, even if I did so much, I couldn't help but have a lot of people, and there was little oil and water in my stomach, and I could eat it by the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Until now, Shou Tao Xuan has not done much. Because you can't eat it if you make too much, you can't waste it, so it's generally a symbolic dozen or twenty to worship your ancestors. In fact, even these dozen or twenty are often not eaten and thrown away in the end.

While doing it, Lu Xi listened to his mother tell about the changes in the times and the changes in life, and he was full of emotion. (To be continued......) R1292
