Chapter 106: Salted Zongzi
"Sister-in-law, don't you know that my eldest brother and I made zongzi for the first time in the first two years, either breaking the zongzi leaves or leaking the rice plug, and the angry mother directly picked up the dustpan and hit us and drove our brothers and sisters away."
As soon as she talked about the past, Xiao Zhiqing looked like her eyebrows were dancing and her hands were dancing, as if she wanted to recreate the scene in front of her.
Liu was also aroused by her words, and looked at Xiao Zhiqing with a smile after putting a wrapped zongzi in a dustpan.
"You girl still said that at that time, you were still secretly eating dates, for fear that others would hide behind your eldest brother when they saw it, like a little mouse."
"What's the matter, it's okay to eat it secretly too?" Xiao Zhiqing said unconvinced.
Xiao Sheng: "......"
He didn't want to participate in the memories.
Jiang Ning subconsciously looked at Xiao Sheng because of hearing this, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a little teasing.
Xiao Sheng: "! ”
The image is gone, and it seems that Xiao Zhiqing's endorsement responsibility has to increase.
Xiao Sheng secretly assigned tasks to Xiao Zhiqing in his heart, but his face was calm and light, as if he was not being said to be him.
Xiao Zhiqing's interest came together, and her lively and clever energy came up, and she picked up the dumpling leaves again and looked at Jiang Ning to speak again.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know that my eldest brother likes to eat zongzi the most, a few years ago, a person could eat five zongzi, if it wasn't for my mother saying that I would not refrain from it, I would have to eat it if I didn't move."
Jiang Ning: "? ”
Isn't Xiao Sheng not a sweet tooth?
She glanced at Xiao Sheng with some surprise, and her eyes were a little suspicious.
Xiao Sheng seemed to have a mind-reading skill, and when he saw her doubts, he said indifferently: "There are quite a lot of zongzi wrapped every year, so don't waste it." ”
Oh, so that's the reason.
It's just that it's a bit too far-fetched.
Xiao Zhiqing pursed her lips when she heard this, and when she just wanted to speak, she was stared at, and subconsciously looked over and crashed into Xiao Sheng's death gaze.
In an instant, Xiao Zhiqing closed her mouth.
Jiang Ning originally wanted to put a real situation from Xiao Zhiqing's mouth, but this little girl was a good at changing the topic.
"By the way, sister-in-law, do you like to eat zongzi?"
Jiang Ning thought seriously for a while before replying: "I like it, but I prefer to eat salty rice dumplings." ”
"Salted dumplings?"
Xiao Zhiqing raised her voice in surprise, obviously a little surprised, but then asked with a strange expression: "But what kind of rice dumplings are salty dumplings?" ”
After speaking, she also looked at Liu.
Liu Shi also looked at Jiang Ning with a puzzled expression: "Ning'er, what kind of rice dumplings are salty dumplings?" ”
Jiang Ning: "......"
Eh, don't they know?
Jiang Ning also looked at them suspiciously, until he glanced at the things on the table seriously, and found that they were indeed all sweet rice dumplings filling, and there was no trace of salty rice dumplings at all.
Tsk, how can this be?
"Mother, Qing'er, since you don't know about salty dumplings, why don't you let me show you a hand?"
Xiao Zhiqing had long been reading Jiang Ning's craftsmanship, and she was naturally very happy to hear that she was willing to show her hand.
"Okay, okay, I haven't eaten my sister-in-law's craft for a long time, sister-in-law is going quickly, do you need me to help you get started?"
As soon as Jiang Ning wanted to say no, he heard Xiao Sheng on the side speak: "I'll help." ”
Jiang Ning: "! ”
Actually, it doesn't really need someone to help.
However, for the sake of Xiao Sheng's being so positive, Jiang Ning did not discourage him from being motivated.
"Let's go, then."
Backyard.
Jiang Ningxin scooped two spoonfuls of glutinous rice out and washed them, then put salt and soy sauce in them, and did not stop until the white glutinous rice grains were dyed.
Immediately, she took fresh pork belly from the well, placed it directly on the cutting board and began to slice it.
She looked at Xiao Sheng, who didn't know what to do, and said, "Can you help me take out the salted duck eggs in the ceramic jar last time, and get out the egg yolk separately." ”
Salted duck eggs were also made on a whim by her earlier, and they were unexpectedly praised by her family.
Especially if Xiao Sheng's daily breakfast is porridge, he must have one.
Hearing Jiang Ning's words at this time, he was still a little unhappy.
After all, there are only a dozen duck eggs in the jar, and if you take them all out, then Ming'er won't have to eat them.
Although he doesn't have a lot of appetite, it's not easy to find one he likes.
After Jiang Ning cut a small half of the pork belly, he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Xiao Sheng didn't move.
"Still stunned to do something, go quickly."
Xiao Sheng frowned slightly, looked at her with a touch of reluctance in his eyes, pursed his thin lips slightly, and said very seriously: "Just put the meat, you don't need to put the egg yolk anymore, and I don't like to eat it very much." ”
Jiang Ning didn't hear the meaning of his words at all, but when he heard him say that he didn't like to eat, he couldn't help but smile and said bluntly: "You'll be really fragrant later." ”
Xiao Sheng: "......"
"I'm still stunned about what to do, why don't you go quickly, it's just in the corner, and you won't be able to eat when it's late."
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Xiao Sheng reluctantly went over and took out four or five salted duck eggs from it.
"It's not enough, take ten, at least ten salty rice dumplings."
Xiao Sheng glanced at her resentfully, and slowly took out ten salted duck eggs from it.
When the meat on Jiang Ning's side had been cut, Xiao Sheng's side dug up two salted egg yolks.
"You're so slow."
Jiang Ning said helplessly, rolled up his sleeves, washed the meat, salted it aside, and went directly to Xiao Sheng's side, unceremoniously grabbed a salted duck egg and knocked it, peeled one off with a neat movement, and scooped out an egg yolk from it with a wooden spoon.
When Xiao Sheng saw her movements, his breathing was inexplicably stagnant, and he could only follow her in the end.
Soon the things to be used were ready, and Jiang Ning returned to the hall with Xiao Sheng with the wooden basin.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw that the Liu family had finished making zongzi and were cleaning up the table, so they hurriedly stepped forward to put down the wooden basin.
"Mother, let's hold ten more zongzi."
Liu naturally would not refuse, and immediately picked up the dumpling leaves and began to wrap them.
Xiao Zhiqing, who was on the side, also picked up the zongzi leaves, and just as she was about to wrap them, she saw these things on the table and asked very strangely: "Sister-in-law, can this meat and egg yolk be delicious when added to the zongzi?" ”
I really don't blame her for asking like this, mainly because the zongzi they can eat are usually sweet......
"Don't you know if it's good or not?" Jiang Ning responded with a smile.
Xiao Zhiqing thought about it and thought it was the same, so she hurriedly started to make zongzi.
Jiang Ning's movements in his hands did not stop, but his eyes wandered over the three of them, pursed his lips, as if he had made a decision, and suddenly spoke.
"Mother, Xiao Sheng, Qing'er, I have something I want to tell you."
For a moment, all three of them looked up at her in unison.
