Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 29

The next day, when Gu Qingya woke up, she found that her parents had left, and there was a big pot of warm lean meat porridge in the kitchen, which was still steaming. She couldn't help but feel ashamed that she had slept so hard that she didn't hear anything .

Thinking about it, Gu Qingya quickly cooked the pig food, cut the vegetables and leaves, and raised the livestock at home in a short while.Then I rummaged through it, found the previously dried wormwood, and carefully burned it to ashes.

But the straw at home was not well preserved, Gu Qingya thought about it, and went to Liu Bingbing's house, everyone in her family was very hardworking, and the field attendants were very diligent, so seeing Gu Qingya coming so early, Also feeling very surprised.

"Qing Ya, what's the matter?" Liu Bingbing was not idle at home, the pig feeder and chicken farmer were cleaning the chicken coop.

"I want to ask if your family still has glutinous rice and straw from last year. I want a handful." If the Liu family doesn't have any, there is no need to ask other families.

"Glutinous rice and straw? I have it. Come with me, and get as much as you want." Liu Bingbing led Gu Qingya to the back of the house, where there were several haystacks, and chickens were seen flying up and down from time to time.

"It's just a few bundles in the middle of this haystack. You choose the better one." Liu Bingbing pushed aside the outer layer of the haystack, revealing the well-preserved straw inside.

Gu Qingya gave a rough grip, "That's enough, and it doesn't take a lot."

"Is this enough? What do you need straw for? Don't you want to make rice dumplings today?" Liu Bingbing was a little curious.

"That's enough. I want to make zongzi. I suddenly have an idea. I'll make it for you to try." Gu Qingya nodded, wondering how many dumplings would be just right.

"Do you need anything else, let me look for it for you?" Liu Bingbing felt that Gu Qingya was better than Yan Qinghua, no matter in terms of brain or other aspects, so when she was unconscious, she would defend Gu Qingya.

"It would be great if there were sesame stalks, but it's a pity that no one grows them here."

"Then I can't help you here." Liu Bingbing was thoughtful, maybe he could plant some seeds next year, maybe he could sell them for money, or he could eat them himself or give them away, as it is said that sesame seeds are very nourishing.

Leaving Liu's house, when returning home, younger siblings are up, Yan Qingcha is helping Yan Qingpu get dressed, Yan Qinghe is cooking lotus root starch, seeing Gu Qingya come back with a handful of straw, very strange.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Yan Qinghe took a small bib around Yan Qingpu, and gave Yan Qingcha the bowl filled with lotus root powder.But Yan Qingpu, when he heard Gu Qingya's voice, became restless, he stretched out his hand to hug Gu Qingya, and yelled like a sister.

Gu Qingya put down the straw, washed her hands, stepped forward to hug her, and scraped Yan Qingpu's little nose, "Eat obediently, Elder Sister will cook something delicious."

Yan Qingpu lowered his head and rubbed against Gu Qingya's shoulder, pouted his mouth to express his displeasure, and gripped the clothes tightly with his little hands.

"Qingpu, be good, the second sister feeds you something delicious, come here." Yan Qingcha clapped her hands to attract Yan Qingpu's attention, but she knew that the eldest sister wanted to make delicious food, so of course she couldn't be pestered.

Handing Yan Qingpu to Yan Qingcha, Gu Qingya found a clean stone slab, burned the straw to ashes, and found two clean gauze to wrap the two ashes respectively, "It should be delicious to make gray rice dumpling. "

Yan Qinghe watched as Gu Qingya buried the gauze into the two separate pots of glutinous rice, the water soon changed color.He was astonished, and deeply doubted whether the zongzi could still be eaten in this way. He had never heard of such a method.

Yan Qinghe was very worried, but he believed that Gu Qingya would not waste food casually, "Okay, sister, you are busy, I'm going to school!"

"Go, listen to the master's words carefully, and study hard." Gu Qingya waved her hand, went to the well and picked up all the baskets that were put in yesterday, ready to be processed, and then seasoned and started to make zongzi.

Because her parents brought a few more catties of meat yesterday, Gu Qingya had some leftovers to do other things.She only planned to pack two catties of vegetarian zongzi, they were not big, about twenty pieces, and the dried longan candied fruit that Mrs. Wang gave was just about two catties.

The rest will be made of meat, including gray water rice dumplings, but they are saved for the end. Gu Qingya plans to make the two salted duck eggs together. I heard that they are delicious. If I can find the little ones It's better to wrap one bird's egg in a zongzi.

The soaked black beans and white beans are fried together with glutinous rice, and the chopped meat is fried with spices for coloring. When everything is ready, you can start making zongzi.

Yan Qingcha moved the chair Yan Qingpu was sitting on to the side, and both of them stared at Gu Qingya's movements intently.

Gu Qingya's hands were very dexterous, she folded the rice dumpling leaves, scooped rice, put the meat in, put the rice in again, folded them again and again, twisted the twine, and a firm and delicate rice dumpling was wrapped.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingya's arrangement had been wrapped, leaving only gray water rice dumpling, gardenia was left, the main thing is that they would steam rice cakes, and put gardenia inside to adjust the color, which is not very rare.

For the vegetarian zongzi cooked first, the water in the large pot should be kept over the zongzi, and the fire should be boiled on high and then turned to medium heat for about an hour and a half.Gu Qingya asked Yan Qingcha to watch the fire, while she continued to make gray water rice dumplings, and said a few words to Yan Qingpu from time to time, the time passed quickly.

Take out the cooked vegetarian rice dumplings, you don’t need to change the water, just cook the meat directly, the taste will not be affected.It takes a lot of firewood to cook this, but fortunately, I got a lot of dead trees from the mountain last year, so it is enough.

Gu Qingya rewarded Yan Qingcha with a sweet rice dumpling. After all, looking at the fire is a very boring thing, and she has been doing well recently, and she is very happy to be an older sister.

Yan Qingcha happily held the zongzi, took a small bite, then she looked at Gu Qingya who was busy hanging the zongzi on the bamboo pole to dry, and then looked at the sweet and delicious zongzi in her hand, although her eyes still Somewhat reluctant, but made a decision.

"Sister, let's take half of this zongzi." Yan Qingcha waited for Gu Qingya to get off the chair, and handed over the zongzi in his hand.

Gu Qingya was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Yan Qingcha to do this, she was very happy, "I'll just take a bite, and you can eat the rest." It's a bite, but it's really a very small bite.

Yan Qingcha smiled happily, "Sister, is that Qingpu edible?"

"He's still young, so you can't feed him, or you'll have diarrhea." Gu Qingya, afraid that Yan Qingcha might not remember, explained repeatedly that children have weak stomachs, and glutinous rice is not easy to digest.

When Yan Qinghe got out of school, the last pot of gray rice dumplings hadn't finished yet. He looked at the glowing red stove, went to the cellar to find a few sprouted sweet potatoes, and prepared to eat them when he was bored.

Gu Qingya didn't stop it, the sprouted sweet potatoes were tasteless and full of silk, there was nothing to eat at all, it was just to satisfy the craving, and their family didn't have any snacks, the most common ones were wild fruits from the mountains.
