Chapter 202: Mash Rice Balls
Cui'er hugged the wine jar filled with sweet fragrant rice wine, slowly walked to the backyard, and saw that under the tender green grape shelf, Lian Qingshan was humming a little song basking in the sun, looking leisurely and comfortable, and couldn't help laughing softly.
"Cui'er, you're back!" Lian Qingshan heard Cui'er's chuckle, and turned his head hurriedly, his eyes were full of tenderness, and when he saw the small jar in Cui'er's hand and smelled the faint aroma of wine in the air, Lian Qingshan's eyes lit up.
"Well, it's back!" Cui'er was holding the wine jar in her hand, her eyes kept paying attention to Lian Qingshan's expression, and when she saw him twitching his nose slightly, his eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Is this wine?" Lian Qingshan has no hobbies, he just likes to practice martial arts, hunting, drinking and drinking, and now he smells the smell of wine, and sees Cui'er's smiling appearance, so he boldly walked to Cui'er, "This is for me?" ”
"It's for you, but I haven't given Mama Zhang any money yet, you remember to settle the account later." Cui'er smiled and put the wine jar in Lian Qingshan's hand and said, this rice wine is not much different from sugar water, Cui'er is not worried that Lian Qingshan will get drunk at all.
"Okay, I'll go later." Lian Qingshan lowered his head and sniffed the wine jar with great interest, and when he suddenly found that this wine was just ordinary home-brewed rice wine, the excitement on his face was much less.
"It would be nice if this wine was stronger......" Lian Qingshan smacked his mouth and muttered in a low voice, although it was not the kind of good wine that the money shopkeeper brought to his house before, it was also good to have a little rice wine to relieve his cravings.
Cui'er saw the change in Lian Qingshan's expression in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile secretly, although this rice wine looks similar to sugar water now, if it is distilled well. Isn't it a high-purity wine?
This thought flashed in Cui'er's mind, as if it was lighting a bright light for Cui'er, the rice wine in the shop in front of her was not high, and if Qingshan didn't like to drink it, then get more and distill it yourself. Give him an improvement in his food.
Thinking so, Cui'er suddenly thought that she was only in the town for two days, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, what was wrong with herself, she was thinking about living forever?
Cui'er was thinking about it, and Zhang's mother came from the front. She held the drunken mash in her hand and wanted to hand it to Cui'er, but she felt really embarrassed to give this worthless thing to the master. After hesitating, Cui'er walked over.
"Mom Zhang, is this mash?" Cui'er looked at the big bowl in Zhang's mother's hand, a full bowl of white mash with a slight yellowishness, smelling the aroma of wine, she only felt that the idea of making mash dumplings in her heart was even stronger, "It's not early, it's time to prepare lunch, Zhang's mother will take me to the kitchen to have a look." I came in a hurry, and I didn't have any preparations, just make something to eat. ”
Cui'er said this. He also instructed the big girl and Xiaohu to look at the small bag and the softness, and followed Zhang's mother to the direction of the kitchen, and as soon as she walked to the kitchen door, she heard someone calling the door outside.
"Is Cui'er here?" This voice was very familiar when I heard it, and it was actually Mrs. Qian's voice.
"It's coming, it's coming!" When Cui'er heard Mrs. Qian's voice, a smile immediately appeared on her face. Cui'er doesn't have many acquaintances in this town, and Mrs. Qian, the money shopkeeper, is a family. Then there is Zheng Langzhong's family, and someone came to visit him as soon as he arrived in the town. Cui'er's heart was naturally very happy.
Hurriedly put the bowl filled with mash on the windowsill, Cui'er didn't even enter the kitchen door, so she walked in the direction of the back door, opened the back door and saw that it was Mrs. Qian leading Yufu and Yugui, and several people were standing at the door with two baskets, all with a smile on their faces.
"I've been waiting for you every day, but I'm looking forward to you!" Mrs. Qian saw Cui'er open the door and said with a smile, "Cui'er, when did you arrive, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" I've got a few dishes to fry at home, and I'll bring them to you, and if you haven't eaten, eat them while they're hot, and if you do, save them for the evening. ”
Mrs. Qian and Cui'er didn't see each other, and carried the basket in their hands into the yard, which she had also seen when she first looked at the house, and it was the same pattern as her current yard, but she didn't worry about going the wrong way, so the children greeted Cui'er, and while talking to Cui'er, she followed Cui'er inside.
"Cui'er, after the child is full moon, I haven't looked at you for more than ten days, and your face is really good, white and white. But let me tell you, you are taking care of the children now, but you are very tired, you usually eat more food, but you can't go hungry, or our small bags and soft will also starve......"
I don't know if I haven't seen her for a while, Mrs. Qian is babbling, she is even more verbose than Aunt Lu, Cui'er stopped in her ears, but she didn't have the slightest impatience, she only felt that she was so concerned by Mrs. Qian, and her heart was warm.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, even if I don't care about myself, I have to take care of the two little ones, right?" Cui'er said with a smile, and then exaggeratedly covered her stomach, looking greedy, "Moreover, my sister-in-law is really here, I was about to cook and you came, you are really timely rain!" ”
"You girl, your mouth is still so sweet!" Mrs. Qian saw that Cui'er had a friendly attitude towards her, and her heart was also very comfortable.
When she partnered with Cui'er to sell tea, Mrs. Qian liked the assertive Cui'er very much, and later her family was in trouble, and it was Cui'er's family who took in their family of four, and then the tea shop opened by her own family was also the goods supplied by Cui'er's family, and under such a bond, the two families were already inseparable.
Cui'er led Mrs. Qian and her party to the house, Yufu and Yugui saw the big girl Xiaohu in the yard, so they smiled and stepped forward to say hello, because they had lived together for a few months, the children of the two families were very familiar, and they played together after a while.
Naturally, it was Yufu, the big one, who took a few small ones to play with, and by the way, teased the two little babies who were still lying in the cradle.
Mrs. Qian, Cui'er and Mama Zhang took the basket of food into the house, and when they saw that the dishes were complete, they were almost the staple food, so they steamed some rice in the kitchen and made a soup or something.
Cui'er walked to the kitchen door. Seeing the bowl of mash on the windowsill, my heart moved, "My sister-in-law came just in time, and I'm studying how to make something new, let's think about it together." If it tastes good, you can have more snacks on the table in the future. ”
"That's a good feeling, Cui'er, the food you make is delicious, and our whole family loves to eat it." When Mrs. Qian heard the dim sum, her eyes lit up, although her family now opened a tea shop. But with the tea sold refreshments, there are not a lot of refreshments, and these are all to make money.
"This time, take care of your favorite food!" Cui'er said with a smile and walked into the kitchen, which is not too big. There are some rice, noodles and vegetables in it, which were brought by Lian Qingshan when he came to the town to deliver things yesterday, and there are also some bottles and jars, which are commonly used ingredients for Cui'er when cooking, such as sesame sauce, for example, red bean paste, etc.
The pots and pans are ready-made, only a lot more than the guys in Cui'er's house, it seems that the original Mrs. Xing also likes to cook, and Cui'er scooped two large bowls of glutinous rice flour with her hands and feet. Add water and form a soft dough, which is ready to make the dough crust.
Cui'er scooped out some of the red bean paste and sesame paste from the jar and formed small balls the size of fingernails. This is to make glutinous rice ball filling.
"Cui'er, look at you like this, do you want to make dumplings?" Although Mrs. Qian is not as good at cooking as Cui'er, she can also cook a lot of food.
"Hmm. It is to make glutinous rice balls. Cui'er smiled mysteriously at Mrs. Qian, without waiting for her to ask. I picked up the mash bowl that I had just placed on the windowsill.
"Oh my God, what is this?" Mrs. Qian smelled a faint sweet aroma of wine. Looking at the bowl of rice-like things, I subconsciously sniffed again.
"It's a moromi meal, I'm going to make a snack later, this is an important thing!" Cui'er asked Zhang's mother to help boil a large pot of water, and she began to wrap the rice balls neatly.
Cut out a small piece of dough, knead it round, press it on your hand, then wrap a small ball of filling into it, make a dough in three or two, roll it around on the floating surface, and then put it on the board. Mrs. Qian looked at Cui'er's quick movements, and couldn't help but be moved, and followed to wrap the rice balls.
When the water in the cauldron began to boil, Cui'er's rice balls were almost wrapped, so she scooped a spoonful of mash and put it into the pot, and then stirred it with a spoon.
The aroma of wine and the sweet aroma of the rice balls are mixed together, and the heat of the cauldron is steamed, so that the kitchen is filled with an indescribable aroma.
After a while, the rice balls were cooked, and Cui'er came out with two large bowls, one of which was carried by Mrs. Qian to the main room, and the other bowl was given to Zhang's mother to taste. When Cui'er took the steamed rice to the main house, the money shopkeeper also arrived at Cui'er's house.
The weather outside was just right, and Lian Qingshan simply placed the dining table under the grape shelf, and the warm sunlight fell on everyone's bodies through the grape shelf, making it very comfortable to sunshine.
Eat home-cooked food and drink rice wine, children who can't drink alcohol also have sweet and glutinous mash rice balls, the two families sit in one place and talk and laugh very lively, especially this delicious mash rice balls, which has won unanimous praise from both families. The big bowl and the small half pot left in the pot were eaten cleanly, and even the bottom of the mash was fished out by Cui'er, and Yugui drank it to the bottom.
After eating and drinking, the children who were the first to do it in the family lay on the kang with their red little faces and fell asleep one by one.
