Chapter 377 - Wrapping Zongzi
"Brother Chen, you go to the market to buy fifteen catties of pork belly and come back, there is more lean meat." Mu Xiu said to Chen Xuhui, who was feeding the cattle in the yard. "Okay." Chen Xuhui put down the grass in his hand and went out to buy meat at the market.
Mu Xiu was in the kitchen, first took out the meat in the space, washed it and cut it into small pieces, put in soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, five-spice powder, green onions, ginger and garlic, stirred evenly, and then continued to put it in the space, and when Chen Xuhui came back, the meat was also marinated and flavored.
There are a lot of salted egg yolks and salted duck eggs in the Mu Xiu space, she can't explain why there is only egg yolk and no white, so she can only take out the salted duck egg and wash it, cover it on the basin with a drying net, after opening the duck egg, the egg white flows to the basin below, the egg yolk will stay on the drying net, and then clean up the remaining egg whites on the egg yolk and put it in another clean basin, Mu Xiu made a total of 100 salted duck egg yolks.
When Chen Xuhui came back from buying meat, Mu Xiu marinated the meat again, and then went to the yard with the things he had just prepared.
Mu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shuilian are wrapping zongzi, the two of them move quickly, overlapping the two zongzi leaves, the bottom one is folded partially, the right one is folded to 90 degrees, press it a little around it, hold it in the hand into a cone, and then start to put glutinous rice inside, first put a layer of glutinous rice, add dates and peanuts, and finally add a layer of glutinous rice, after the rice is full, then fold to the left, fold it all around, fold it forward at the back, fold it to the left on the right side, fold it on the left side, fold it forward and down the extra one, and then tie it with cotton thread. A triangular zongzi is wrapped.
Mu Xiu has been adjusting the stuffing for a while, they have already wrapped nearly a hundred zongzi, Mu Xiu put the things on the table, sat down, picked up the zongzi leaves and began to wrap them.
The steps are the same, except that the layer where the dates and peanuts are put in is replaced with meat and egg yolks.
Sure enough, as Mu Xiu expected, Zhou Shuilian asked in surprise: "What are you doing with these egg yolks?" After asking, he suddenly reacted and asked even more surprised: "Where did you get this egg yolk?" What about egg whites? ”
"The meat is wrapped in zongzi with salted egg yolk, the taste makes people forget it as soon as they eat it, the egg whites are in the kitchen, the salted duck eggs were pickled in our house last time, there are so many pickles, I took some out to use." Mu Xiu's chin tapped in the direction of the kitchen.
"The salted duck eggs that were pickled last time, you haven't started eating them yet, you ...... it" Zhou Shuilian was suddenly not calm.
The duck eggs in Mu Xiu's house are made into salted duck eggs, and they are all placed in the cellar after they are done, how many are there, Zhou Shuilian doesn't know, Mu Xiu said that he likes to eat salty flowing oil, and the longer this kind of butter needs to be pickled, the more butter there is, so no one has touched it.
I didn't expect Mu Xiu to take it out and waste it at this time.
"Mother, there is no shortage of these duck eggs in our family, how to make them delicious, we will wrap the zongzi once a year, besides, this is sold at a high price, and everything is earned." Mu Xiu quickly wrapped the zongzi in his hand.
"Am I sorry for that money? I'm afraid of waste, when I didn't eat anything before......" Zhou Shuilian remembered two years ago, when she was hungry all day.
"Mother, salted duck egg whites can be spread into cakes, then shredded, and then mixed with shredded chili peppers or tofu, it tastes very good." Mu Xiu said on the side.
"This is also due to the fact that our family does not lack these now, otherwise in order to eat this egg white, it will cost oil and flour pancakes, which is also troublesome enough, and it is so convenient to eat the whole thing." Zhou Shuilian began to feel sorry for food again as she spoke.
"I'll try it in the evening." Mu Xiaoshu thought it was delicious to listen to, so she was eager to try it.
At the end of the day, the three of them finally wrapped more than 400 zongzi, more than 100 sweet, more than 200 salty, and filled three back baskets, and Mu Xiu went to get more than 100 salted duck egg yolks halfway.
It's just that this time she took out the salted duck egg yolk directly from the space, and the egg whites of the previous hundred salted duck eggs had been filled with two pots, which looked very much, anyway, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaoshu couldn't beat another hundred salted duck eggs to see how many egg whites there were.
Therefore, Mu Xiu was very bold to take the salted egg yolk directly from the space, otherwise it would be very troublesome to knock open a hundred salted duck eggs one by one.
"It's hot weather, and the zongzi can't be left for a long time, so I'll go to the county seat with Brother Chen tomorrow morning and send the zongzi to the snack shop." Mu Xiu said.
"Okay, I'll cook a few zongzi and taste them first." Zhou Shuilian picked up twenty salty and sweet zongzi each.
"By the way, how do you cook this meat dumpling?" Zhou Shuilian had just taken two steps and suddenly stopped and looked at Mu Xiu.
"Mother, it's the same way to cook sweet zongzi, but it's best to wait until the water is boiled before boiling, so that the cooked zongzi leaves are green and good-looking." Mu Xiu explained to Zhou Shuilian.
"Cheng" Zhou Shuilian nodded, and went into the kitchen to cook zongzi.
Dinner made porridge, fried hot and sour shredded potatoes and green peppers fried meat, and a large plate of zongzi, peeled off a meat zongzi, salty and fragrant, white glutinous rice was wrapped in gravy, a bite down, full of meat fragrance, and then a bite, the butter of salted egg yolk leached out, and the overflow was about to flow to the hand.
"This meat dumpling is delicious, the meat is so fragrant, and this egg yolk is so fragrant." Mu Shui couldn't stop after tasting one, and even ate five meat dumplings, and the rest of the people also had their eyes lit up after tasting them, and they couldn't help but eat them and went to eat them again.
"I didn't expect that the meat dumplings wrapped in egg yolks are so delicious, let's wrap the meat dumplings in the future, no one will eat these sweet dumplings." Zhou Shuilian saw that everyone loves to eat meat dumplings, the meat dumplings are almost finished, and the sweet dumplings are still not moving, she said with deep feelings.
"Mother, cook eight more meat dumplings tomorrow morning, and Brother Chen and I will eat them on the way." Mu Xiu saw that everyone loved to eat, so she didn't rush to eat, she used to eat often, so she only ate one, so she was a little unsatisfied, according to her appetite, such a size of zongzi, five or six a meal is not a problem.
"Okay, eat these sweet rice dumplings quickly, don't waste them." Zhou Shuilian opened a sweet zongzi and took a bite, this sweet zongzi, I used to eat a delicious one that my tongue had to bite off, but after eating the meat zongzi just now, I always felt that the taste was a little worse.
Everyone may have this feeling, and the speed of eating sweet zongzi is obviously much slower than eating meat zongzi......
The next day, after Mu Xiu got up, Chen Xuhui had already loaded the car, the rabbits had been killed and cleaned up, Zhou Shuilian had cooked the zongzi, Mu Xiu finished washing, jumped on the ox cart, and drove towards the county seat with Chen Xuhui.
When it was almost noon, the two of them arrived at the snack shop, Qiu Caiyun was cleaning in front, Chen Xiaolian was sitting obediently at the counter, wiping the counter with a clean rag, Mu Xiu said hello to the two of them and entered the courtyard.
