Chapter 251 Dragon Boat Festival Chapter
Time flies so fast, and it is the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye. The school has given three days off. The children of Old Ye’s family are all very happy. It’s not that they would be happy if they didn’t have to study.
The reason they are happy is because they can eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival.
There are many kinds of zongzi, including sweet zongzi, salty zongzi, fresh meat zongzi, bacon zongzi, red date zongzi, egg yolk zongzi, candied date zongzi, red bean zongzi, bean paste zongzi, yellow rice zongzi, chestnut zongzi, red bean paste zongzi, preserved vegetable and pork zongzi... There are all kinds of zongzi, too numerous to count.
Zongzi generally comes in three flavors: sweet, salty and alkaline. The most common ones are sweet and salty.
Salty in the south and sweet in the north. That is, southerners like to eat salty rice dumplings, while northerners like to eat sweet rice dumplings.
The shapes of zongzi are varied, including square, oblong, equilateral triangle, equilateral quadrilateral, etc.
Zongzi was originally used to worship ancestors and gods. The book records that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, people soaked millet in water containing plant ash. Because the water in the plant ash contained "alkali", people usually wrapped the millet in cattail leaves, wrapped it into a square shape, and then cooked it.
It is called Guangdong alkaline rice dumpling.
The people in Lao Ye’s family made rice dumplings of several flavors. They had chestnuts that they had picked in the mountains before, so they made some chestnut rice dumplings. They also made yellow rice and red dates, red bean paste, and fresh meat rice dumplings...
I made about five or six kinds of rice dumplings so that everyone can experience different tastes and eat whichever one they want.
Yo yo yo~ check it out.
Yo yo yo~ I’m so happy today!
The night before the Dragon Boat Festival, Yingbao took out red dates, yellow rice, rice, bean paste... from the space. As a cover, Ye Tianyong got up early before dawn on the Dragon Boat Festival and went to the street to buy some pork spine, pig tail, pork belly... and put them in the kitchen first. He then went to his daughter Yingbao's room and quietly moved all the food that his daughter had taken out last night to the kitchen, just like a thief.
Terrifying!
Fortunately, I didn’t meet anyone from my family along the way and had a safe journey.
Wang Cuihua and Wang Yitong, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were delighted when they saw the food when they entered the kitchen in the morning. It was a very good thing that was done without attracting attention. Apart from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there was Yingbao, the person involved, Ye Tianyong, the person who handled the matter, and Ye Yaozu, the person who knew about the situation. Everyone else thought that Ye Tianyong had gone out to buy it in the morning, and no one knew that it was Yingbao who did it.
Lin Wan and Zhou Xiayun looked at their third brother's wife and mother-in-law smiling at each other, and without thinking much, they smiled too. They thought that Wang Yitong and Wang Cuihua were smiling the same way as they were because their lives were getting better and better and they were becoming more and more hopeful about life.
actually not.
Four women and two plays.
Yingbao and her three brothers, Ye Yuanhang, Ye Haoyu, and Ye Mingchen, as well as their three cousins from their eldest uncle's family, Ye Heyun, Ye Shaoyu, and Ye Zilin, and their two cousins from their second uncle's family, Ye Lingfan and Ye Yuezhou, were a group of nine people, and none of them went out to play with their companions. Instead, they all washed the leaves, red dates, etc., that would be used to make rice dumplings.
Ye Yaozu, Ye Tianyong, Ye Tiancheng and Ye Tianwang, the four of them, did not sit idle on the kang like an old man. The father Ye Yaozu took the lead and sat on a bench in the yard, using a knife to cut a hole in the raw chestnuts. Ye Tianyong took the raw chestnuts that his father Ye Yaozu had cut, and pulled out the chestnuts, that is, to remove the shells.
