Huang Tao divides the remaining little white dough into evenly sized agents.

Rub round.

Press the nest to put in the red bean paste filling and push it up with the tiger's mouth.

Heal.

Roll into rice balls.

Roll out the red dough into thin slices, press it into a circle, insert a small hole with a bamboo skewer to make a nose, stick some water, add it to the white dough, and then divide the red dough into two halves.

Xuanxuan's little person, while poking her little head curiously, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Baba, what are you going to do?" ”

Huang Tao smiled: "Tangyuan! ”

Xuanxuan was even more curious: "What kind of rice balls?" ”

Huang Tao pretended to be mysterious: "You'll know later." ”

Xuanxuan tilted her head and thought about it.

I don't understand!

I saw that my father put the red circle divided into two halves and pasted it on the top of the white circle, like two small ears, and also used two black sesame seeds to decorate the lower part of the ears, and gently pressed it with a bamboo skewer, like a pair of black eyes.

Hey?

The shape of this rice ball seems to be ......

Xuanxuan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Baba, this rice ball, like a little pig......"

"Huh~"

Huang Tao pretended to be surprised: "How do you know?" ”

Xuanxuan was proud: "I can see it!" ”

Huang Tao smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Amazing! ”

"This is indeed a little pig pig red bean paste glutinous rice ball."

"Dad will make you a few duck-shaped dumplings, okay?"

"Wow...... Dad, you're so good! Not only can I make piglet dumplings, but I can also make duck dumplings......"

Xuanxuan exclaimed, her little mouth opened, and the worship of her father in her heart was about to overflow.

Huang Tao smiled slightly, he hadn't actually practiced these fancy dumplings before, but he had seen the online teaching videos before, but with his current pastry skills, it was not too difficult to play it temporarily!

What's more, being able to please his baby girl, Huang Tao is naturally full of a sense of accomplishment.

He kneaded a small pumpkin dough into an oval shape to make the duck's body.

Gently flatten.

Pinch one end to make a duck's tail.

Roll a small ball and place the duck's head on the front of the body.

Take the red dough and knead it into a rounded triangle to make a duck's mouth.

Apply a little water to fix the duck's body parts.

Decorate the duck's eyes with black sesame seeds.

"Bell Bell Bell ~"

He gently placed a cute little yellow duck on Xuanxuan's palm.

"Wow......"

Xuanxuan was so happy that she couldn't put it down.

But when she thought of these cute little piggy and little yellow duck dumplings, which were about to be eaten later, she was a little entangled.

She raised her little head and looked at her father hesitantly: "Baba, let's not eat little pig dumplings and little yellow duck dumplings, okay?" They're so cute......

Huang Tao laughed!

He reached out and hooked her little Qiong's nose, "My silly girl, even if you don't eat it, it will be bad if you put it away!" ”

"Ah......h

Xuanxuan's eyes widened subconsciously, and she muttered, "If it's broken, it's a pity......."

"Or ...... Or ...... Eat it......"

Xuanxuan struggled for a while, and felt that if it was broken, it would be better to eat it in her stomach.

But there is still some reluctance in my heart.

Huang Tao saw it, smiled, and proposed: "Xuanxuan, if it's not like this, Dad will give you a little pig and a little duck dumplings for you to play, and we'll cook the rest in the pot and eat it, okay?" ”

"Good!"

Xuanxuan readily agreed.

"Boss, I'll cook it!" Old Qian Mao then recommended himself.

Huang Tao did not shirk it, and handed over this important task to the experienced old money.

Inside the pot, white, yellow, red, green, and purple round rice balls are tumbling in the boiling water, and a large amount of water vapor rises, mixed with sweet aroma, and floats lightly in the back kitchen.

It's a sweet and greasy taste.

"Eat rice balls~"

Huang Tao used a soup spoon to put the colorful rice balls in the pot into a bowl.

The bowls of boiled colorful rice balls were placed on the dining table, so that Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiyu, who were sitting at the table waiting, moved their index fingers, picked up the soup spoon and scooped one up, blew it and sent it to their mouths.

"These colorful rice balls still have a different taste, boss, how do you do it?"

"Yo, there's still salty!"

Huang Tao said with a smile: "This is called colorful rice balls, the white ones are glutinous rice flour and noodles, the bread is sesame filling, the pink ones are carrot puree and noodles, the red bean paste stuffing is stuffed with bread, the yellow ones are pumpkin puree and noodles, the bread and date paste stuffing, the green ones are spinach juice and noodles, which are filled with salted meat filling, and the purple ones are purple potato mash and noodles, which are filled with peanut and walnut filling." ”

Finally, don't forget to ask, "How does it taste?" ”

"Good, delicious..."

Li Chengzhan grinned and kept sighing, looking sour and sour that he had been burned by the rice balls, and praised vaguely.

"Baba..."

Xuanxuan's beautiful eyes kept staring at the pink and tender, big and round rice balls on the soup spoon in Huang Tao's hand without blinking, and the moist surface was shining with pink jade-like color under the illumination of the light.

It looks so tempting!

I want to eat it right away!

I want to eat!

I want to eat it!

"Be careful..."

Huang Tao brought the soup spoon to her mouth and advised: "The bean paste filling inside is very hot, you blow it again." ”

Xuanxuan immediately pursed her pink little mouth, "huha" and "huha" at the high-value rice ball, blowing and blowing, trying to blow away all the hot gas, and almost blew away the little soup in the soup spoon.

Huang Tao handed her the spoon and asked her to bring it herself.

Xuanxuan gently took a small bite of the glutinous rice ball skin, licked the sweet bean paste filling, and took the last bite into her mouth, squinting her eyes comfortably.

Sweet!

It's delicious, too!

Li Chengzhan next to him had already swallowed half a bowl of colorful rice balls in his stomach with a snort, and he was very happy to eat, as if as long as I ate fast, the sweetness would not be greasy to his stomach.

Mimi squatted at the dining table, leaning up on the cat's head, looking at the little master silver tasting delicious desserts, pitiful appearance.

“……”

Xuanxuan, who was being stared at, felt panicked and stressed!

Helpless, I had to command: "Mimi, go and bring your dinner plate!" ”

Xuanxuan's little hand pointed to Mimi's cat nest one by one.

Mimi understands in seconds.

immediately got up and ran towards his own cat kennel, and then took his own cat food bowl in his mouth, and put it at Xuanxuan's feet attentively, showing a flattering look.

Xuanxuan didn't care about eating it herself, and blew a rice ball with "huha" and "huha", and then put it in the cat food bowl: "Give you a salty taste, just this one, because this is made of glutinous rice, which is not good for your stomach, so you can't eat more." ”

Cats can't eat too much glutinous rice, it's not good for the gastrointestinal digestive system, and it's not easy to eat more sweets, or her father told her.

And Mimi loves the food in the store, and she also likes to eat sweet sesame rice balls, which used to be no less, but since she knew that this was not good for Mimi's health, Xuanxuan no longer fed the rice balls to it.

Mimi didn't care about listening to her, and took the salty tangyuan into her mouth, and didn't chew it a few times!

I swallowed it straight into my stomach.

Typical swallowing dates!

The glutinous rice balls were in her stomach, and Mimi looked at Xuanxuan again, as if to say: Little Lord Yin, this is not enough for this cat to stuff his teeth! Give me a little more! Just a little bit!

But Xuanxuan resolutely refused to give it.

One is for the sake of Mimi's health.

The second is that she doesn't have enough to eat herself!

Mimi, who can't be pampered again, can only "meow meow" and cry silently.

Such a scene made Li Chengzhan and other employees look at it, and at the same time, they can't help but show a smile, and at the same time, they also feel that the rice balls in the bowl are even more delicious.

Moment.

Lao Qian brought over the boiled little pig dumplings and yellow duck dumplings.

Looking at the little yellow duck and the little pig in the bowl, Xuanxuan perfectly interpreted what it means to have a full stomach and not be full of eyes, and ate a few more.

Then under Huang Tao's stopping, she reluctantly put down the soup spoon in her hand, and shouted that she would eat it tomorrow.

For the little request of the baby girl, Huang Tao naturally nodded and agreed.

Eating tangyuan also means that the ritual that must be completed on the night of the Lantern Festival has come to an end. But Huang Tao did not take Xuanxuan home to eat, but took Xuanxuan, employees and parents to the temple fair near the old street to watch the lantern fair.
