Chapter 118: Prepare to make rice dumplings and get honey (please subscribe, please vote)
Although Xu Suxin still had some doubts in her heart.

But in the end she still chose to believe Su Mu.

Finally, they looked over here again.

One hundred fruit trees planted were discovered.

Now more than 20 of them have blossomed and bear fruit.

As for the rest, it will probably be next year.

Time flies by.

There are only three days left before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Su Mu thought.

Wrap these rice dumplings in advance.

In this case, with the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival.

You can take these rice dumplings out and heat them up directly before eating.

If you want to pack it on the same day, the quantity is too much.

After all, he had to give some to the village chief no matter what.

There are also Professor Chen and their students. As for the Forestry Bureau, they can also be more relaxed.

Anyway, if you have a refrigerator at home, you can just freeze it when the time comes.

"Su Xin, I plan to start making zongzi today. What filling do you want to eat?"

Su Mu took out the twenty kilograms of glutinous rice he bought last time, and then asked curiously.

If we talk about Su Mu’s favorite rice dumpling filling.

That is of course the sweet rice dumpling made with red dates.

It’s not that the meat rice dumplings are not delicious, but the first reaction is that the red date sweet rice dumplings are the most authentic and suitable for the occasion.

but.

It's just his taste.

What if Xu Suxin likes to eat other fillings?
What if some of Professor Chen’s students like to eat salty rice dumplings or meat rice dumplings?

Moreover, with so much glutinous rice, it would not be very interesting to make rice dumplings with only one kind of filling.

If you can wrap several kinds of fillings, then everyone can have one more choice.

Su Mu remembered.

I've seen it online before.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, many netizens on the Internet are discussing which kind of rice dumplings are delicious.

Some people say that meat filling is the most delicious, while others say that red date sweet rice dumplings are the most delicious.

Some people also say that salty rice dumplings are the most delicious.

Anyway, there were a lot of discussions about the filling of the rice dumplings that night.

This is the same as whether tofu pudding should be eaten sweet or salty.

"As for me, I like to eat sweet red date rice dumplings."

Xu Suxin smiled sweetly and expressed her preferences.

Hearing this, Su Mu pursed his lips.

Unexpectedly, Xu Suxin had the same taste in rice dumpling fillings as herself.

'Okay, then let's make some more red date sweet rice dumplings. I happen to like them too. '

"Brother Su, what do you mean, are you planning to make rice dumplings with other fillings?"

"Yes, I plan to pack more so that I can give it to others to eat."

"Uncle Li wants to send some, Professor Chen and the others also want to send some, and Mr. Guo also wants to send some."

"By the way, Su Xin, do you know what kind of stuffing Mr. Guo and the others like to eat?"

"Well, I heard Jiaojiao say that before."

"Guo Ju likes to eat meat rice dumplings, and they also have to be dipped in sugar."

"Um???"

"Meat dumplings dipped in sugar??"

These words surprised Su Mu.

However, this is someone else's hobby, and he can't say anything more.

"Okay, let's make some meat dumplings."

"What about the others?"

"I haven't asked about the others. Jiaojiao likes to eat them without fillings and then eat them with sugar."

"That's it."

"Okay, let's pack some of each filling, so they can eat whatever filling they want."

"But first, I have to prepare some Hiiragi leaves."

Hiiragi leaves: This leaf also clears away heat and diuresis, and can also be used as medicine.

In addition, the leaves of Hiiragi leaves are wide and have a unique fragrance. They are very suitable for making large rice dumplings, Yuanbao rice dumplings and long rice dumplings.

"Wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, Brother Su."

After saying this, Su Mu went out.

About 10 minutes later, he returned home.

In the backpack, there were already a lot of hiiragi leaves.Although the leaves were picked back, they were so damaged that they had to be washed with clean water.

As for the glutinous rice, Su Mu soaked it in warm water before going out.

It only needs to be soaked for about seven or eight minutes before you can pack it.

but.

Su Mu finally thought of something.

Last time a queen bee came to his house.

And the queen bee also brought a lot of worker bees.

It’s been more than a month since bees came to my home, and I don’t know if there is any honey in it?
If there is any, I can use some of it myself.

When the time comes, dip the rice dumplings in honey, and it will definitely have a different taste.

But these all have to wait until the rice dumplings are wrapped.

After cleaning these leaves.

Su Mu looked at the glutinous rice soaked in water.

I found that the glutinous rice has been swollen and is ready for wrapping.

Making rice dumplings is naturally simple.

First of all.

Place the rice dumpling leaf flat on the table, fold one edge and press it firmly with your hands.

Fold both ends of the leaf toward the middle and press it tightly with your hands to make the leaf look like a long envelope.

Place the glutinous rice into the folded rice dumpling leaves.

Fold the other side down to completely wrap the glutinous rice.

Use string to tie the rice dumplings firmly.

These words were what Su Mu had learned from his mother before.

Unexpectedly, after growing up, today, I will put my experience to use again.

As for Xu Suxin on the side, she has never made rice dumplings before.

But even if she doesn't know how to make bags, she is still willing to learn.

And he studied very seriously.

It took Su Mu and Xu Suxin nearly two hours to pack twenty kilograms of glutinous rice.

After all, these rice dumplings are not all filled with the same filling, they also need to be filled with other fillings.

So wrapping is naturally very slow.

But when I finished making the rice dumplings, I looked at the 170 five rice dumplings placed on the table.

Su Mu and Xu Suxin were very happy with these achievements.

After all, they didn't ask outsiders to help in this regard, they did it all themselves.

And in the process of packaging.

Su Mu also classified the fillings in these rice dumplings.

For example, the red date sweet rice dumplings are tied with red rope by Su Mu.

Zongzi stuffed with meat, the outer leaves are tied with yellow stuffing.

In this way, it can prevent someone from taking the wrong rice dumplings that they don’t like to eat.

After wrapping the rice dumplings, the next step is to put them in the pot and cook them.

Of course, 170 five rice dumplings can’t be cooked all at once.

It must be divided into several batches and put into the pot.

The first thing Su Mu chose was boiled red date sweet rice dumplings.

That way, they can taste it first after it's cooked and allowed to cool.

While Su Mu puts these sweet rice dumplings into the pot.

Xu Suxin had already arrived at the stove and lit the firewood.

She was also looking forward to it in her heart, how would the red date sweet rice dumplings taste?

As for other rice dumplings, she doesn't like them very much, so naturally she won't eat them.

"Su Xin, you watch the fire, I'll go and see if there is honey in the beehive."

"If there is, we can try it later."

"Okay, Brother Su, be safe."

Xu Suxin nodded and reminded.

Although these bees collect nectar, they generally don't sting people.

But, it’s better to be careful in everything.

"Ok, I know."

Su Mu smiled slightly and left the kitchen.

He got tools and then a long ladder.

Placed next to the beehive.

Of course, he also took safety measures for himself.

Although these bees don't seem to sting, the sting can still be painful.
