Chapter 66: The dumplings are fragrant

The dusty past in Cui'er's memory, those forgotten vivid childhood memories, suddenly became vivid at this moment, Cui'er smiled at the corner of her mouth, and the movements in her hands sped up.

"What's the stuffing?" Cui'er summed up while picking up glutinous rice, "White zongzi must not be missing, the family just bought jujubes, red date zongzi is also a must, as well as red bean paste, fresh meat, if there are dried fruits or something, it's not bad to get some, there are peanuts and kidney beans at home, you can also make a dried fruit zongzi." ”

Cui'er thinks like this, there are a lot of things at home, if you do it, you can make no less than ten flavors of zongzi, but for example, egg yolk or something, eggs are expensive things, if you use them to make zongzi, it will be a bit of a waste.

The same is true for peanuts, compared to soft peanuts, Cui'er feels that crispy peanut candy is more delicious, greedy and chewy, Cui'er finally decided to make five flavors of zongzi, jujube zongzi, bean paste zongzi, fresh meat zongzi and kidney bean zongzi.

After Cui'er soaked the glutinous rice, she took out the jujubes she bought at home, poured them into the basin and added water, picked out the jujubes with insect eyes or those that were broken, and then washed the jujubes one by one, soaked them in the pot and softened them.

The zongzi leaves, the reed rope used to tie the zongzi, glutinous rice and jujube were all soaked, and Cui'er continued to work hard to make other things, which were naturally bean paste and kidney beans.

The red bean paste zongzi is made into bean paste after the red beans are soaked and boiled softly, and wrapped in the zongzi, while the kidney beans are picked out of the large and full flower kidney beans, and when they are cooked and soft and not rotten, they are taken out and pickled with sugar or honey to make sweet kidney bean grains, and then wrapped into the zongzi.

Both things need to be boiled, so Cui'er simply boils them out in one pot, which also saves trouble. The kidney beans were very big, and Cui'er picked out more than 20 kidney beans as big as a thumb nail from the bag, and picked out a small bowl of red beans, washed them, put them in the pot and simmered them over low heat.

After finishing all the work, Cui'er put two branches under the stove and burned them slowly, and she took a few dates into the house, the big girl and the little tiger in the house had already slept, but they didn't cry at all, the sister and brother were lying on the outside of the basket containing the chicks, looking at the chirping chicks in the basket to see the joy.

"Big girl, little tiger, come wash your hands and eat two dates!" Looking at the big girl and the little tiger looking at the little chicks one by one, with novel and excited expressions, Cui'er's heart softened.

"Eat dates!" When the girl heard that there was food, her eyes were shining, she jumped down from the kang with a smile to wash her hands, and her hair was curled with her movements, which was very cute.

"Xiaohu, do you want to eat dates?" Cui'er watched Xiaohu crawl to her side with drool, and had the intention of teasing, put the dates in front of Xiaohu, and watched Xiaohu crawl to this side with a roar, and was anxious to reach out to grab the dates, and her heart suddenly moved.

"Come, Xiaohu come and eat delicious dates!" Cui'er picked out the biggest and reddest one and put it a little higher, Xiaohu could see it, but his little hands couldn't catch it.

"Yes!" Xiaohu looked at the big red dates that had been washed cleanly, his greedy saliva flowed into a line, he looked at Cui'er with his eyes, flattened his small mouth, and shouted loudly and clearly, "Yes!" ”

"If you want to eat dates, stand up and take them~" Cui'er shook the dates in her hand, and after such a shake, Xiaohu was even more anxious, crawling to Cui'er with a crackle, pulling Cui'er's clothes and standing up, and climbing up along Cui'er's legs.

"You little thing!" Cui'er saw that Xiaohu was anxious, so she quickly removed a date, cleaned up the crust three times and divided five by two, took the towel handed by the big girl and wiped Xiaohu's hands, and then put the cleaned jujube meat into Xiaohu's hands.

"Giggle......" Xiaohu got what he wanted, laughed happily, sat on the kang with his ass, and then put the jujube meat into his mouth fiercely, biting hard with his few small teeth.

Cui'er couldn't help laughing, handed two more dates to the girl in her hand, told her to be careful of the dates, and then turned to look at Lian Qingshan, who was sitting on the kang and weaving a chicken cage, walked over, looked at him with a warm smile on his face, and unexpectedly stuffed a date in his mouth.

"Hahaha......" Lian Qingshan Xu didn't expect Cui'er to stuff a date for him to eat, and the expression on his face was stunned. Such an expression made Cui'er and the girl feel funny, and they couldn't help laughing, and even Xiaohu, who was not very sensible, slapped his palm.

Creak...... When the family was happy, Cui'er suddenly felt that something was grabbing her pants, and when she looked down, it was Zhaocai, who looked at the red dates in Cui'er's hand, and her longing was very obvious.

"Look, Zhaocai also wants to eat dates!" Cui'er said in surprise, picked a slightly smaller jujube and handed it to Zhaocai, watched it snatch the jujube from her hand with a swish, and then jumped on the kang in three or two clicks, stood on the basket of raising chicken cubs, and put her claws on her mouth like a general to nibble on the dates, and was immediately amused.

"Xiaohu, hurry up and learn to walk!" Cui'er stuffed two more dates for the big girl, peeled and cored another date, stuffed it to Xiaohu, who ate it deliciously, and smiled at him.

Xiaohu grinned, revealing a few small white teeth the size of rice grains, smiling happily, and I don't know if he really understood Cui'er's words.

"Big girl watching my brother eat, don't let him choke." Cui'er instructed, stuffed the last remaining date into Lian Qingshan's mouth, and then clapped her hands and went to the kitchen again.

Opened the pot to look at the pot, and waited for the heat to dissipate, Cui'er took out a spoon and scooped two red beans out, and after blowing it slightly cool, she twisted the beans with her hands, and saw that the beans were already swollen and ripe, but they had not yet reached the soft texture needed to make bean paste, so she added firewood to the stove and turned around to process the dates.

The best red dates, because they are in the mountains, are not sold at any price, and Cui'er is also extremely cheap when she buys them. Cui'er removed the core of the soaked red dates, and after all the grains were processed, she looked at the red beans in the pot and found that the beans were almost cooked.

Scoop out all the beans, put them in a clean small basin, and pick out the large flower kidney beans separately and put them aside, Cui'er used a round-headed frying spoon for stir-frying, and crushed the boiled soft beans one by one, although there is no fine sieve, but the attractive appearance has made people's appetite move, not to mention that Cui'er put two spoons of sugar into it in order to make the bean paste sweeter.

The boiled red beans themselves have a dense sweetness, and when sugar is added, the sweet and soft taste is like growing feet, and it jumps all over the house.

The big girl and the little tiger who were playing in the house were ready to move when they smelled the tempting aroma, and the little tiger was about to go to the ground, but the big girl couldn't resist him, so she hugged him and walked to the kitchen.

"Girl, come, my mother made red bean paste, how does it taste!" Cui'er took the chopsticks, put a small ball of red bean paste into the girl's mouth, and looked at her squinting her eyes slightly, looking happy, and she felt happy.

"Ah...... Want! Xiaohu looked at the mother who only gave her sister delicious food, and she didn't have anything for a long time, so she stopped doing it at that time, waved her little hand, and leaned towards Cui'er with her mouth.

"Little Tiger wants it too!" Cui'er couldn't laugh when she saw this, and the little one also put a piece of bean paste filling in his mouth for him, and couldn't help laughing when he saw him eating happily.

"Big girl, when it's okay, take Xiaohu to the yard for a walk, let him learn to walk, and save the dignitaries who come out and go in. Mother, this is the rice dumplings, let's try it first in the evening! Cui'er watched the big girl and Xiaohu finish eating the bean paste filling in their mouths and looked at themselves with blank eyes, so they gave them another mouthful, and began to pick people up after giving, if these two little things were here, the bean paste filling would have to be eaten up in a while.

The big girl took Xiaohu to play in the yard, and Cui'er was busy in the house, cutting off a piece of the meat she bought, cutting it into finger-sized pieces, and then marinating it with green onion and ginger soy sauce and putting it aside, which was intended to be used to make fresh meat dumplings.

After preparing all the things used to make zongzi, Cui'er moved all the things used for making zongzi into the house, put all kinds of fillings on the kang table, and put the basin with zongzi leaves and glutinous rice on the edge of the kang, washed her hands and went into the house to make zongzi.

"Cui'er, I'll help you." Even Qingshan watched Cui'er collect so many zongzi leaves and glutinous rice, and put down the work in his hand, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and sat on the edge of the kang when he came back.

"Do you know how to make zongzi?" Cui'er saw Lian Qingshan pick up the zongzi leaves, pull them into a cone in three or two, and then put glutinous rice into it very skillfully, and she became more and more surprised at the moment.

"Hehe, I learned from my mother when I was a child, and I didn't pack it well." Lian Qingshan said humbly, but the angular little zongzi in his hand was telling the truth.

"Aoyama, you're amazing!" Cui'er praised from the bottom of her heart, only feeling that she had picked up a treasure. Seeing that even Qingshan's dumplings were very neat, Cui'er also had the idea of being competitive, and she also wrapped the zongzi quickly.

White zongzi with pure glutinous rice, red bean paste, sweet kidney beans, sweet jujubes, and salty zongzi with fresh meat, although there are not many types, after adding up, the number of zongzi to be wrapped is quite a lot.

When Cui'er wrapped the zongzi, because it was eaten at home, and it was given to relatives and friends, this zongzi was also willing to put the filling, and even Qingshan and the two talked and laughed to wrap the zongzi, and the zongzi with different fillings were put in different plates, and the way the zongzi rope was knotted was not the same, but it was barely able to distinguish it.

Cui'er naturally won't treat her family badly, after wrapping the zongzi, she directly took some zongzi and boiled them in the pot, a total of five zongzi, each of which was cooked two, a total of ten zongzi, each of which was the size of Cui'er's fist, enough for Cui'er's family to eat for four.

The water inside is boiling, the aroma of reed leaves and glutinous rice is gradually spreading, looking at the slightly green soup of the boiled zongzi, Cui'er's heart is also clear and bright, such a day, it's really good.
