Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 47 No.40 Chapter Seven: Overjoyed
Shopkeeper Li was dumbfounded, but he was not annoyed, "It's okay, let's continue!"

The daughter-in-law nodded, and continued to wrap, but it was the same for several wraps in a row. The bamboo shell couldn't hold the stuff at all, and it was torn apart and brittle.

Shopkeeper Li jumped up angrily, "How on earth do you make this thing!" I really wanted to get the little girl to ask him!

On the contrary, the guy who had been watching couldn't help but uttered weakly, "Master, this bamboo shell is too hard and brittle, so it can't wrap things. I see that the skin of this zongzi is soft, but It’s different from our bamboo shell.”

The guy who recognized the bamboo shell and went back to get the bamboo shell was unhappy when he heard it, "What are you talking about?

The guy came later, and he didn't dare to confront him directly, so he hurriedly said, "I'm not saying it's not a bamboo shell, I just mean that the skin of his rice dumplings is soft, and it must have been done to the bamboo shell to make it come out." It's soft, and the bamboo shell is so hairy that it won't taste good if you eat it, but look at the zongzi skin, it's very smooth."

What the man said made sense. Shopkeeper Li felt the same when he heard it, so he couldn't help asking him, "Huang San, how do you think this bamboo shell will become soft? And this hairy bamboo shell?" How to clean it up?"

Huang San thought that his family would pick up this bamboo shell and use it as firewood, but he remembered that once when he was a child, when he was serving water, he accidentally poured a basin of water on the picked bamboo shell.

At that time, the bamboo shell with water on it was different in color, similar to the zongzi skin.

Thinking like this, Huang San hesitated and said, "Try to wash this hairy thing with water? Also, this bamboo shell is so hard and brittle, if you soak it in water, maybe it will become soft?"

When shopkeeper Li heard that it was feasible, he immediately asked his staff to bring water, soak a handful of bamboo shells into the wooden basin, and ordered the staff to wash almost all the hairs on the bamboo shells.

There were too many bamboo hairs on the bamboo shell, and it was so fine and dense that it was not easy to wash. Several workers worked hard for a long time, until late at night, they finally cleaned up the handful of bamboo shells soaked in water.

And the bamboo shells have been soaked in water for a long time, so they are really soggy and soft, at least they won't be brittle and cracked when folded.

Shopkeeper Li yawned, but he was thinking about making a fortune tomorrow, so he didn't want to go to sleep at all, and kept guarding.

Seeing this situation, I was overjoyed, and immediately greeted the guys, and then made zongzi!
The daughter-in-law had already gone to bed, but several of the guys saw clearly the movement of her rolling the bamboo shell just now, and they all did so this time.

The bamboo shell softened a lot. After trying it again and again, soon, one after another was really wrapped.

Although the appearance is not as good-looking as others, in order to tie the zongzi tightly, the zongzi was tied one after another, which looked messy.

But anyway, it didn't explode and disperse.

Shopkeeper Li wanted to make a fortune and strike while the iron was hot, and he didn't care whether the zongzi looked good or not.

After the soaked bamboo shells were busy, they were all wrapped into zongzi, and a large basin was filled.

At a rough estimate, there must be dozens of them. The shopkeeper Li felt a little too small, but it was too late to soak the bamboo shells now, so he just ordered the waiter to soak the other bamboo shells, and waited tomorrow. This batch is on sale and then packaged.

The zongzi is wrapped, what to do next?
Shopkeeper Li thought that the glutinous rice and red beans in the zongzi were cooked, so they must be cooked!
So, without further ado, start a fire and cook!
Now that this is the case, shopkeeper Li thinks that tomorrow he will sell rice dumplings at Liji Rice Shop, which will attract others to rush to buy them, so he is not sleepy at all.

The fire was burning vigorously, and the pot quickly bubbled up.

I don't know how long it took to cook, but Huang San, who was burning the fire, couldn't help but yawned, and asked cautiously, "Shopkeeper, are you still cooking?"

Shopkeeper Li was also questioned. He had never cooked rice before, so how could he know how long it would take to cook the rice.

"Do you think the rice is cooked?" He asked Huang San.

The guy on the side was dissatisfied with the bamboo shell he picked up from the bamboo shell he recognized. Now the shopkeeper paid more attention to Huang San, and hurriedly said: "I often watch my mother cook rice. Our family cooks porridge. After such a long time, it must have been boiled soft!"

Shopkeeper Li nodded after listening, "Okay, let's pick it up!"

The clerk responded, rushed to the stove, lifted the bamboo stand with his hands, and prepared to scoop up the zongzi.

Two of the top of the closely packed zongzi in the pot burst open, revealing a stream of glutinous rice to stick to the outside.

The clerk shook his hand and couldn't help but look at shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li was a little dumbfounded when he saw that the zongzi that had just been wrapped and hadn't exploded had exploded after cooking, but luckily there were only two on the top.

He hurriedly said: "Go to the side of these two, and fish out the others quickly."

The clerk responded and quickly started to take out the upper layer. Looking at the bottom, there are still many bursts.

……

Shopkeeper Li's heart trembled, how much glutinous rice he wasted.

But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Fill out the ones that explode, and put aside the good ones."

There were quite a few good ones, and Shopkeeper Li's face softened a bit.

He picked up a zongzi, intending to taste it. Of course, what he wanted to sell was different from what the little girl sold today.

It took a long time to unravel the messy rice dumpling ropes. To be honest, shopkeeper Li's premonition was not so good just for this.

Other people's zongzi can be untied with a single pull. If he wanted to eat this zongzi, it would take a long time to untie the zongzi.

Unfolding the wrapping skin, shopkeeper Li was thinking to leave the zongzi alone, but luckily he made the zongzi, right?

But immediately he was dumbfounded, what the hell is this.

I saw the rice dumplings under the skin, the glutinous rice and red beans were still scattered, and the half-cooked ones were not at all like the little girl's rice dumplings, which were tightly glued together to form a shape.

Can this be eaten?
"It's not cooked yet! Cook it again!" He said angrily.

The guy who opened his mouth and said it was ready was also dumbfounded. After such a long time, the rice porridge is already ready. Why can't the rice dumplings be cooked?
"Maybe the glutinous rice needs to be cooked longer?" He asked with a dry smile.

Glutinous rice is a good thing, but his family can't afford it.

Shopkeeper Li glanced at him, but said nothing.

Continue to collect firewood in the stove, put all the rice dumplings back into the pot, and continue cooking.

It took a little longer to cook than before, and it was almost three days ago this time.

The zongzi was picked up again, and shopkeeper Li tasted it again.

But the movements of picking up the zongzi were a little slow.

He was too sleepy, if it didn't get better, he would really be scolding his mother.

Untie the rice dumpling rope tediously, unfold the wrapped skin, revealing the white and red rice dumpling meat inside.

When shopkeeper Li saw it, his face relaxed a lot. Now it's cooked, it's formed, and it hasn't fallen apart!
He was so happy that he opened his mouth and took a big bite to taste it.

But gradually, his expression became bad again.
