Chapter 907: Celebrating Lantern Festival and Eating Rice Balls

The next morning, after having breakfast, Shi Qinghuan went to the balcony to load six large glutinous rice balls, and then she went out to work.

When she entered the office, she handed the glutinous rice balls she was carrying directly to Wang Jiajia and said, "This is the glutinous rice balls I made. You can take it home and cook it."

"Okay, but your glutinous rice balls are so big, they are as big as a baby's fist."

"Well, the salty glutinous rice balls are so big because they have to contain meat."

"It's very similar to dumplings, with meat inside."

"It's a bit similar. The cooking method is also very similar to dumplings, except that you don't need to add cold water to the pot after boiling like dumplings. You just cook it until it floats."

"Really? Then I'll cook it when I get back at noon, so I can save time on making lunch."

"Okay, but if you want it to be more delicious, you can cook some vegetable soup and put the cooked Yuanxiao in the vegetable soup. This way the Yuanxiao will be even more delicious."

"Okay, I'll try it at noon." After Wang Jiajia finished speaking, she wrapped the dumplings in newspapers, and then placed the dumplings on the windowsill, so that the dumplings would not melt due to the high temperature in the room.

After Shi Qinghuan packed her things at around eleven o'clock in the afternoon, she saw that Wang Jiajia had also packed her things, so she and Wang Jiajia walked towards the family building after get off work.

More than ten minutes later, Shi Qinghuan returned home. She first added half a pot of water to the pot and boiled it. Then she added some vegetables, eggs and dried shrimps to the pot. Then she poured the cooked soup into a thermos.

After she scooped all the soup into the thermos, she added half a pot of water to the pot, and then went to the balcony to get the glutinous rice balls.

Since she didn't know how many glutinous rice balls Xu Liangyou could eat in one meal, she planned to cook six for Xu Liangyou and four for herself.

As for Wang Ailan's family's share, she planned to let her cook it herself, because every family cooked different dishes. She was afraid that what she cooked would not suit the taste of Wang Ailan's family, so she might as well give it to Wang Ailan to cook.

After seven or eight minutes, Shi Qinghuan saw that all the glutinous rice balls she cooked had floated, so she used a colander to scoop all the floating glutinous rice balls into the thermos pot. Then she used an iron sheet to isolate the fire from the stove, and she I took the thermos bottle and went to the guest house to find Xie Liangyou.

"You are finally here. What are we having for lunch today?" Xie Liangyou asked Shi Qinghuan who was standing at the door when he opened the door.

"sweet dumpling."

"Tangyuan? Is this what southerners eat during the Lantern Festival?"

"Yes, have you eaten it?"

"Of course I have, but the glutinous rice balls are a bit too sweet, and I'm not used to eating them."

"I cook salty glutinous rice balls with meat inside."

"Really? This is the first time I've heard that glutinous rice balls are salty. Please take them out for me to try."

Shi Qinghuan nodded after hearing Xu Liangyou's words, and then she carried the glutinous rice balls and walked towards the house.

After she entered the house, she put the thermos pot on the table, and then opened the thermos pot to reveal the glutinous rice balls inside.
