Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 222 Chapter 221 Zongzi

At noon, I tried a dish for my mother and sisters, which received unanimous praise.

"This cigarette smells quite good, better than the cigarettes on my brother's body." Fengzhi took a sip and was immediately conquered by the taste. When she started to praise, she didn't forget to click on Tang Zhitong.

Can it not be delicious? Meat is a good dish. Food has no geographical distinction. As long as it tastes good, it can become popular all over the country.

"It's delicious." Fengzhen took a bite and opened her mouth to praise. Since the girl received the bicycle the day before yesterday, the smile on her face is obviously more than before. Although she still does housework as usual, this time her face is full of smiles. Do it with a smile on your face.

Tang Zhitong is very satisfied with the change of his eldest sister. As for other shortcomings such as timidity, shyness, and lack of confidence, he will just slowly guide and change her in the future.

After sending the little sisters off to school after lunch, Tang Zhitong started making red bean paste.

Tang Zhitong remembers that when she was a child, her family did not make rice dumplings. During the Dragon Boat Festival at that time, small vendors would go around the streets selling rice dumplings. Grandma Tang would buy one, give candied dates to her eldest grandson, and divide the glutinous rice into Feng Zhen, which was still small, so she would catch every bit. No, I can only watch and worry.

With one rice dumpling, the whole family celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival.

Now that conditions permit, Tang Zhitong plans to make a few more flavors to prevent his two sisters from regretting their childhoods, and at the same time to broaden their horizons.

The preparation of red bean paste is a bit troublesome, but it is one of the childhood snacks that many people miss the most. It can not only be used to make rice dumplings, but also steamed buns.

After living conditions improve, children who are picky eaters and don't like to eat will gradually appear. At this time, handicrafts such as red bean paste and vegetable noodles can be put on the chopping board.

Red beans can be soaked in advance or cooked directly in the pot. The difference between the two is just a matter of how long to cook.

No matter which kind, it needs to be brought to a boil over high heat, then reduced to low heat and simmered until the red beans bloom and can be crushed with chopsticks.

After the red beans are boiled, although the soup is no longer used, don’t throw it away. It is a great way to relieve the heat in summer. Tang Zhitong even specially mixed it with two spoons of honey and iced it with mountain spring water. This can save a meal of millet porridge. .

Place the boiled red beans on a colander, crush them with a spoon, and squeeze out the red bean paste. Here’s a little trick: prepare a little water in advance to easily wash off the red bean paste on the colander.

The crushed red bean paste and washed bean paste juice are wrapped in gauze and squeezed again to squeeze out as much water as possible.

The next step is to heat the pan with oil, add the red bean paste and white sugar, stir quickly and stir-fry. The white sugar is added according to personal preference. Now that the child is short of snacks, Tang Zhitong adds more.

It will take about two or three minutes to stir-fry until it becomes sticky. Just remove the pan and let it cool down for later use. It can be kept at room temperature for a day or two and refrigerated for a week. Tang Zhitong does not have refrigeration conditions, but there is space.

I made a little more this time and saved some space for steaming buns for my sisters later.

Since it took a lot of time to cook the red beans, it was already the afternoon after finishing the red bean paste, and Tang Zhitong started making bacon rice dumplings again.

"Euclidean, it's still early to cook. You should rest first and get back to work later." Zhang Guifang watched her son cutting bacon and thought he was going to cook.

"Mom, I'm not cooking. I'm going to make some bacon rice dumplings." Tang Zhitong raised his knife and cut the bacon into dices. He didn't want to put more of it. Bacon is precious, so make a few to taste.

"Meat dumplings? Is that delicious?" Zhang Guifang frowned upon hearing this. This cannot be blamed on Zhang Guifang. Most people in the north eat sweet rice dumplings, and very few eat meat rice dumplings.

If you say whether tofu cake tastes sweet or salty, netizens will be beaten to death, then the dispute between sweet rice dumplings and salty rice dumplings will break their brains. This problem is more difficult than "Why is a moving bicycle?" It’s hard not to fail, and no scientists dare to argue.

"A colleague from southern Hunan said it was delicious, so let's try it too." Tang Zhitong explained to his mother with a harmless smile.

"Hey, the taste of southern Hunan? Let's try it." When she heard it was that place, Zhang Guifang immediately stopped objecting. There are good people in southern Hunan, so the rice dumplings here are also delicious.

"Okay." Tang Zhitong agreed and continued to work on his own. When cutting the bacon, you need to dice the fat and lean meat separately so that they can be fried later.

After coming here for nearly a year, Tang Zhitong understands his mother's mentality. As long as it is related to his old man, most people will support him without any brains. This kind of prestige is unprecedented. The reason is that he has made the people of the country stand up straight. Backbone, stand up!

Whether it is medical and health care, life expectancy, education, or science and technology, there has been great progress, and even the economy has not fallen behind!

If you say something, you will be blocked, so just shut up and leave everything to the people. The people have a strong balance in their hearts and will give a fair evaluation.

Making bacon rice dumplings is not troublesome. Just heat a pan with cold oil, add diced fat meat and stir-fry until the oil is released; then add diced lean meat and stir-fry; then add an appropriate amount of soy sauce and stir-fry for a while, then it is ready to serve.

After doing this, Tang Zhitong replaced the red bean water with ice-cold mountain spring water, smoked a cigarette outside the house, and then picked some vegetables and peppers and returned to the house to prepare for cooking.

I fried a seasonal vegetable, cut two ounces of bacon, and made a small stove for Xiao Wang - fried bacon with chili.

Of course, it’s not a loss for the sisters. Each person has half a head of salted eggs and each person has half a head of sugared garlic. The sugared garlic has already been pickled, so save the time and eat it slowly. You can have one when you eat hot pot in the winter. The taste is amazing. Two words: authentic!

Classmate Xiao Wang was very satisfied with Tang Zhitong’s fried bacon. He even ate it with steamed buns and soup, and his dimples didn’t even fall off his face.

Wang Jingwen has never mentioned that she likes to eat bacon in front of Tang Zhitong. She only took a few bites of it at Brother Ma San’s wedding invitation and Brother Yuzi remembered it. This feeling of being held in the palm of someone’s hand is not bad, so Xiao Wang is unprecedented. He poured Tang Zhitong half a glass of wine, the kind made with tiger bones.

After dinner, several young people were slurping down their hands with red bean water, while Zhang Guifang was making rice dumplings and putting various ingredients on the table.

Bacon rice dumplings are different from sweet rice dumplings. The fillings are mixed into the glutinous rice before making the rice dumplings, and the overall color is light brown.

Making zongzi is the same as making dumplings. The whole family mobilizes and joins the battle together.

However, this was my first time making rice dumplings. My technique was not up to par and the shape of the rice dumplings was a bit strange. Fortunately, there was no filling leaking out, which did not affect the taste.

There are three kinds of fillings in total, candied dates, red bean paste, and bacon. The whole pot of glutinous rice is completely consumed.

The tiger bone wine was not in vain. Before going to bed, Tang Zhitong and Xiao Wang, a studious and motivated young couple, discussed history again. The theme of this discussion was "sharing a small family into a single family."

This stall is a great place to be. Bah, wonderful!

This move effectively lowered the Gini coefficient, but Yongzheng also suffered from infamy.

Yongzheng must have been aware of the consequences of this move, but he still did it because if he didn't, Aisin Gioro would withdraw from the stage of history early.
