Chapter 26: The Sorrows and Joys of Mortals
On the small round table, there is a plate of pickled radish and a plate of dried shredded radish mixed with sesame oil......
"Girl, taste it, it's fragrant." Grandma Zhou pointed to the shredded radish, leaned into Bai Xuefei's ear, and said mysteriously, "This is my home-squeezed sesame oil, and other families don't have such a fragrance." ”
The faintly smug look made Bai Xuefei laugh.
She really turned her head to look, there were four or five round tables around, all of which were about the same pickles, she moved her nose and inhaled, she grinned, "Really, Grandma's sesame oil is the most fragrant." ”
The serious look made the people at the table laugh.
"This girl is interesting."
"Looks handsome."
"Good temper too."
……
You glanced at me and said a word, which heated up the atmosphere.
Bai Xuefei looked up and saw that she was facing the sight of He Zishan, and she grinned her teeth.
He Zishan nodded.
More than a dozen stone troughs were lined up, and on each side of each trough stood a stout man, beating rhythmically in a relay.
Looking at the sturdy man, Bai Xuefei ate the two rice cakes in the bowl at once.
This is called beautiful and delicious!
"You can't eat too much, eat too much." Grandma Zhou reminded loudly.
Bai Xuefei was still unsatisfied, but he nodded obediently when he heard the words, and looked at the people around him who were holding a green leaf in their hands, "What is this?" ”
Grandma Zhou wiped tea oil on her hands, and said with a smile, "It's knotweed leaves, and the pinched glutinous rice cakes are put in one-to-one." ”
Bai Xuefei thought to himself, can the leaves be eaten?
A woman saw her unspoken doubts and smiled, "It's just good-looking, it's auspicious." ”
"Some don't pay attention to this, so it's okay to just throw them into the water."
"That's not because there is no Grandma Zhou's craftsmanship."
"That's right, Grandma Zhou's craftsmanship in pressing glutinous rice and baba is very powerful in ten miles and eight villages."
……
Bai Xuefei turned her head when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw that Grandma Zhou's hand was moving quickly, and a round lump turned into a cake in two clicks, she was surprised, "When I see Brother He rolling dough, I have to use a rolling pin." ”
There are studious juniors, and the elders are the most willing to instruct, Grandma Zhou is talking, and the movements of her hands do not stop, "It is okay to press with a wooden board by hand, and it is necessary to dip some sesame oil or beeswax to prevent sticking together, and the finished baba will become hard after a while, and it can be roasted and eaten, called roasted baba, boiled in soup or fried with bacon is also delicious, and the uneaten ones are soaked in water, and they can be put until March." ”
"And brown sugar poop!" The dog ran around like crazy and brought back Erya.
Grandma Zhou nodded, "Yes, you children like brown sugar glutinous rice dumplings the most, my old man, I can't eat those things, but after two days of pig killing feast, I can eat two mouthfuls of pig blood to satisfy my hunger." ”
Just casually said, everyone around me laughed.
Bai Xuefei looked up at Grandma Zhou's white hair, and she didn't know what to feel in her heart.
The sorrow of the short life of mortals, she seemed to feel a little, "Grandma Zhou, you must live a long life!" ”
Grandma Zhou was stunned for a moment, but she just thought that the little girl had a sweet mouth, "That's not a long life, I still have to watch my dog marry a beautiful girl!" ”
"I'm going to marry Erya!" The dog led the second girl and barked.
The second girl is ignorant, and only knows how to gnaw on glutinous rice cakes.
Over there, the people opposite He Zishan changed, but he still insisted on the second wave.
Looking at the man's sturdy body, Bai Xuefei held his face and thought, will the stronger body age slower?
"Girl, Zishan asked me to take you to the village to harvest glutinous rice." Xu An chewed a piece of glutinous rice and took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his head.
Bai Xuefei looked at He Zishan and saw him nodding before getting up, "Let's go." ”
"I'm going too!" Dogan raised his hand in the air.
After Erya finished eating a piece of glutinous rice cakes, she raised her hand in a daze, "Go!" Er Ya also goes! ”
Grandma Zhou frowned dissatisfiedly, "It's such a big person, I have a son, and I still have to be nagged!" On a cold day, put on some clothes and go. ”
Xu An's wife next to her put down the leaves, wiped her hands, and hurried to get her clothes.
Xu An put down the cart, took the clothes, and looked at Bai Xuefei with some embarrassment, he was a round older and was trained in front of Xiaobei......
"Mother, you save me some face."
Grandma Zhou pursed her lips, "Oh, is face or body important, if you want to think I'm verbose, don't let anyone remind me." ”
Xu An smiled helplessly.
At this moment, Bai Xuefei also felt some of the happiness of mortals.
