Chapter 62: Horned Dumplings
This night, it was still the same as the last time, Jiang Nian was busy in the kitchen, and Juan Niang and Jiang Fan were talking in the yard.
Juan Niang actually wanted to work with Jiang Nian in the kitchen, but Jiang Fan's slightly resentful eyes made Jiang Nian look furious, and quickly pushed Juan Niang out.
After Jiang Nian washed and washed in the kitchen alone, he began to prepare for the next day's corner dumplings. I thought I could wrap it tonight, but I didn't think I had prepared a lot of ingredients, but I didn't soak the ingredients.
But it's okay, Juanniang has time to bask in the moon with her father tonight.
First, boil the prepared dumpling leaves in water, cut off the stalks, and then soak the glutinous rice and various beans that will be used tomorrow, and then marinate the pork belly.
With that done, it's time to go to bed.
When Jiang Nian got on the bed and lay down, Ran Er suddenly came to a different voice: "What does that corner dumpling taste like?"
"Well, why, haven't you eaten it?" Jiang Nianqi said.
Ran Er's voice was a little impatient: "It's not that you don't know!"
Jiang Nian had a question mark, sat up from the bed, and scratched the back of his head for a long time and didn't understand what was going on.
"Oh yes! There is realgar in the 'five yellows' eaten on the Duanyang Festival! We snakes, where do we dare to come out!" Ran'er's voice was sharp, as if the realgar had been poured into her mouth.
Jiang Nian suddenly remembered that he had heard a saying that poisonous insects such as snakes, scorpions, centipedes and other poisonous insects could be cracked by realgar wine, and drinking realgar wine during the Duanyang Festival could drive away evil spirits and detoxify, and the body was healthy.
There is also a story that I have heard in "The Legend of the White Snake", which says that the White Lady drank realgar wine on the Duanyang Festival, showing the original shape of the snake's body.
At this time, Jiang Nian suddenly realized that he hadn't paid attention to these before, or rather, because Ran'er usually saw her in human form, Jiang Nian hadn't seen her as a snake at all.
can see that Ran'er behaves like this, and the restraint of Xiang'er's natural attributes, even if he cultivates with mana, he is still afraid.
Jiang Nian thought for a while, the "five yellows" eaten on this Duanyang Festival refer to yellow eel, yellow croaker, cucumber, salted egg yolk and realgar wine.
Except for Ran'er, there are all goblins of the Huamu clan around him, and there should be no other things to restrain him, so he assured Ran'er that Duanyang would never bring realgar on him that day.
Ran Er didn't care, "I'm not very worried about realgar now, I'm hiding in this fan, and I'm using it myself." I was mainly hungry for that corner of the dumplings, and I didn't eat them. ”
Jiang Nian slapped his thigh, but he reacted so slowly, and hurriedly assured Ran'er, "I will definitely let you eat hot this year!"
Ran Er got this and said goodnight beautifully.
On the second day, Jiang Nian and Juan Niang made corner dumplings at home, smelling the fragrance of zongzi leaves, looking at the various ingredients in front of them, Jiang Nian was full of thoughts about how amazing Ran'er would be after eating it, and what kind of rhetoric would be used to praise it.
But Jiang Nian wrapped two of them, and it was still the same as before, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged and a little embarrassed.
If you really can't wrap the horn dumplings, then these prepared ingredients will be wasted, Juan Niang will definitely not be able to see it, and nine times out of ten you have to help yourself wrap it.
This is troublesome, the face is not one, if Daddy knew that he let Juan Niang wrap so many corner dumplings and tired her, he would definitely blame her.
Thinking about it, Jiang Nian's little face fell.
Juan Niang looked at Jiang Nian Bao Jiao Zong, and after wrapping the two, she was in a daze with a bitter face, and pushed her with her elbow: "What's wrong? But tired?"
Jiang Nian came back to his senses and found that he was in a daze and asked Juan Niang to see it, "Oh, I, I ......"
Jiang Nian didn't say anything about "me" for a long time, and laughed at Juan Niang.
She wrapped the corner zongzi in her hand, took two more zongzi leaves and handed them to Jiang Nian, and then took two more in her hand: "Come, you see, this zongye should fold this 'funnel' on the head, not in the middle, otherwise the tail of the zongye in the back is not long enough, and it will be easy to fall apart if it can't be wrapped......"
The hand-in-hand teaching made Jiang Nian have no time to think about anything else, after all, the temptation of eating is greater than the sky.
Wrap the zongzi according to the method taught by Juan Niang, and sure enough, it was successful at one time.
Jiang Nian wrapped a few more, all of them were big and full, and couldn't help but sigh: "So it's so simple! Why didn't I know this method before? Juan Niang, who taught you this method? It's so powerful!"
Juan Niang kept her hands on her hand, looked at Jiang Nian with a smile and said: "I also love to eat horn dumplings, when I was a child, I often wrapped my own horn dumplings to eat, and the adult's method is easy to scatter when I wrap it, so I figured out a few tricks by myself, and it is easy to grasp it with small hands." ”
Juan Niang looked at Jiang Nian's somewhat enlightened look, and continued: "It's not that it's not easy to wrap adults, but that they have big hands, and it's easier and time-saving to use this method." ”
"So, everyone has their own characteristics, even simple things may fail because of their own relationships, and it is also possible that things that seem difficult to others can be very easy to do when they come to themselves?" Jiang Nian said softly as he scooped up the glutinous rice.
Juan Niang nodded, "Isn't it? ”
......
After working all day, Jiang Nian's shop couldn't take care of it, and Chen Yulai was the zero-hour shopkeeper of the shop.
When it came to dinner, Jiang Fan joked to Chen Yu with a smile, "You might as well stay in the shop for a while, I think you are very suitable to be the shopkeeper now." ”
Jiang Fan rarely joked with Chen Yu like this before, and Chen Yu didn't get too much praise. At this time, Chen Yu looked silent, but his heart was jubilant, and after a while, Jiang Nian found that his face was still slowly red.
It seems that Juan Niang has really changed her father a lot, and now he is cheerful and enthusiastic, and he no longer hides his loving side to his juniors, but expresses it directly.
Chen Yu should also be able to feel the change in his father, I hope that this time, the relationship between the two of them can really be as close as that of other people's masters and apprentices.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nian's heart was full again, why do you think like this, what is this time.
Those are just dreams, only what I am experiencing now is reality.
In that dream, I didn't see Cui Yuxiu's shadow twice, but in reality, there is such a living person, anyone will believe what they see with their own eyes, not that weird dream.
But don't you really believe it?
Jiang Nian bit his lip.
Juan Niang, Chen Yu, Daddy.
The performance of the three of them clearly confirms that what happened in the dream will indeed happen in reality.
But Cui Yuxiu won his entry quota.
Do you still have any hope of worshipping the teacher?
Why do things happen in dreams, but variables fall on your head?
"Nian'er, Nian'er, Juan Niang is talking to you, why are you in a daze?" Jiang Fan was a little unhappy.
Jiang Nian glanced at Juan Niang in a panic, but saw her concerned eyes, "Are you tired of wrapping corner dumplings today?" After eating for a while, Xiao Nian hurried to rest. Xiao Nian prepared the materials so late last night, and today I wrapped too many corner dumplings, don't get tired. ”
After speaking, he smiled and said, "I've eaten these few times, and I can finally wash the dishes today!"
Jiang Fan heard this, nodded and said gently, "I'm with you." ”
Jiang Nian immediately subconsciously looked at Chen Yu, but saw that Chen Yu was looking at him and squeezing his eyebrows, his face was full of joy and excitement, without a trace of sourness or abnormality.
Jiang Nian smiled at Chen Yu at this, and secretly glanced at Juan Niang again, and she really blushed again.
