Chapter 213: Steamed Buns
Gao Shunhua's eyes turned red again, but this time there was progress, she didn't shed tears, she just sniffed: "Shuang'er, I'...... I don't know what to say. ”
"Then don't say anything." Yun Xiaoshuang handed over the steamed buns in her hand, "It's time to steam the steamed buns." ”
"Okay." Gao Shunhua nodded and smiled, "We are a family, so we won't say anything." Then he took the steamed buns one by one and placed them on the shelter in the pot.
The steamed buns used for the New Year are very large, each of them has three catties and three taels, as for why it is so heavy, it is not known, the ancestors passed it down like this, and the big steamed buns for the New Year are so big in every household, so only three can be steamed in a big pot.
Nine steamed buns need to be steamed in three pots.
After steaming, six red dots are also dotted on the steamed bun.
Zhan Fangfang was in charge of lighting the fire, while Zhan Bowen was in charge of going out to pick up a bundle of corn stalks from time to time.
In the house, Zhan Boxiang is carefully carving a piece of jade, since the last time he gave his daughter-in-law earrings, his daughter-in-law has been wearing them every day, and he wants to give his daughter-in-law something better.
In southern Yunnan, there is a jade town, and the people in it all make a living from jade carving, and he also saved a master by coincidence.
The teacher couldn't repay him, so he taught him his jade carving skills, and he just took it as a hobby, and then his leg was broken, and he felt that his life was decadent, and he didn't have the heart to carve anymore.
But with a daughter-in-law, he found that his life was still glorious.
In particular, his daughter-in-law also gave him a set of carving knives, and his mind began to live.
I can't move my legs, but my hands are good.
He can weave the baskets and frames he needs at home.
He can also make the pendant that the girl likes.
I once brought back a few pieces of jade, although it was not very good, but it was enough to make jewelry.
He wanted to carve it out as a New Year's gift for his daughter-in-law.
When his leg is healed in the future, he must go to southern Yunnan, and he must find the best jade and make the best jade for his daughter-in-law.
His daughter-in-law deserves the best in this world.
After steaming for nearly three hours, the nine large steamed buns were steamed.
In previous years, black cornmeal was mixed with some white flour, but this year, the conditions are good, so all white flour is used.
The big white and chubby steamed buns are pleasing to look at.
Gao Shunhua took out a box, opened it with some red paint, dripped water into it, and then took out a small round wooden stick the thickness of a little thumb, accounting for the red pigment, and lit six red dots on each steamed bun.
Why do you order six, it is also handed down by the ancestors, no one knows the reason, but it has been done for many years.
Yun Xiaoshuang watched it fun, and after Gao Shunhua ordered two, she volunteered to order the rest.
Just finished here, Zhan Tingting and Zhan Bojun came back, looking very tired, but in good spirits.
Both of them were sent by Yun Xiaoshuang to work in a garment factory, although she can jump to earn money, but she will not let a few small ones develop the problem of not getting something for nothing.
The two of them have no skills, so they can only do chores in the factory, carry goods, check the quantity, and clean, which is very tiring, but after a few days, the two have never said that they are tired, let alone mention the salary.
This performance made Yun Xiaoshuang very satisfied.
The family was eating when there was a knock on the door.
