The next day, Nuan Nuan bought two kilograms of candied dates from the counter.
The saleswoman also asked: "Sister Wen, are you going to make rice dumplings? In addition to you, there are many people from our supply and marketing cooperative who come to buy candied dates. Even my mother asked me to take two kilograms back with me!"
"Yes, isn't it almost the Dragon Boat Festival? Just make some rice dumplings to eat!" Wen Nuan didn't hide it. In this season, who would buy candied dates instead of making rice dumplings?
This salesperson's surname is Fang, and her name is Fang Hong. She has only been at the supply and marketing cooperative for a short time.
He comes from a good family, has a sweet mouth, and gets along well with Wen Nuan. At this time, he specifically asked: "Sister Wen, do you want some zongzi leaves?"
Nuan Nuan looked at the girl in front of him, who had two braids, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked at her sincerely with her big watery eyes.
Somewhat funny: "Hong, my sister's family is from a rural area, and there are plenty of these rice dumpling leaves! You don't even need to buy these things!"
Will your family make rice dumplings this year? Why don't I bring you some zongzi leaves tomorrow, which will save you the trouble of buying them! "
Fang Hong nodded: "Then I won't be polite to you, Sister Wen! My family should take care of it. In the past, my mother took care of this matter. This time, my mother asked me to take things back when I was at work!"
Nuan Nuan nodded, wrote down the matter, and chatted with Fang Hong in front of him for a few words before returning to the office.
The next day, Nuan Nuan really brought back a lot of rice dumpling leaves for Fang Hong.
Not only Fang Hong, but also people who had a good relationship with her and did not live in the countryside were all given points.
Wen Nuan and Yang Rui, who were rich and free, took advantage of the few days before the Dragon Boat Festival to collect candied dates, candied beans, peanuts and so on.
On the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, we start making rice dumplings.
After lunch, let’s soak the glutinous rice brought back by Yang Rui.
Wen Nuan: "Soak them all? Is it too much? Don't make it worse!"
Yang Rui nodded: "It's not much in total, let's drink it all! We can't finish it, so I'll give it to my parents, my second brother, my third brother, and Qinggen's family!"
Nuan Nuan has no objection to sending this thing out.
When their family was building the courtyard wall, everyone contributed a lot. Even Yang's father helped them dig adobe in his spare time. Although he didn't help much, he kept these favors and warmth in his heart!
By four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the rice will be soaked.
Fold the cleaned rice dumpling leaves, put candied dates, candied beans and peanuts inside, and tie them with rope.
Neither of them put candied dates or candied beans alone. Just put them all in and save on distinguishing them. Anyway, they are all delicious!
In less than an hour, a large basin full of rice dumplings was packed out.
Just had some dinner.
I started to cook the rice dumplings in a big pot. Now I put a small curtain at the bottom of the big pot so that it will not get burned easily.
When the small curtain is set up, you can put the rice dumplings in the pot. These rice dumplings all have corners, so slit them diagonally inside so that more can be made and cooked in one pot.
A large curtain is placed on top, and stones are placed on the curtain. In this way, even if the water is poured into the pot, the rice dumplings will not float upward when cooked.
Then put the eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs on the curtain, that is, next to the stone, and lay them together.
After being cooked, the eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs will still have the fragrance of rice dumpling leaves!
Pour in a basin of water, close the lid of the large pot, and start boiling.
After the pot boils for half an hour, take out the chicken, duck and goose eggs first, and then cook the rice dumplings.
The time for cooking rice dumplings is different from that for cooking chicken, duck and goose eggs.
To cook rice dumplings, you have to boil them four or five times and then simmer them overnight. When you wake up the next morning, the rice dumplings will taste delicious! The fragrance of the zongzi leaves has completely gone inside the zongzi!
