Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

Chapter 104

"Mother, do you want to chop some lean meat into it?" Li Yao asked.

"No need, it's delicious enough to eat with this meat dregs. After frying the meat dregs, mix them into the vegetables, and then add some crushed spices." Now that the rainy season has passed for so long, these vegetables are made by myself. The ones grown in the ground are just right to eat when they come here for Chinese New Year.

"Yao'er, you haven't eaten this bun before?" Chen Yang looked at Li Yao suspiciously. According to the custom here, every household will make buns for the New Year. Poor families only pack some green vegetables, and those who are rich Just put the meat dregs.It is said that the family background of the Li family is good, and they should put some meat residue in the steamed buns for the Chinese New Year. Why does Yaoer seem to have never eaten such steamed stuffed buns?
"Eh? Second aunt, I have eaten it, but haven't I seen my mother do it?"

"I thought you hadn't eaten it!" Chen Yang lowered his head and pressed the dough again.

"Hehe, why haven't I eaten it!" Li Yao laughed, she really can't be taken lightly anytime and anywhere.

After filling the stuffed buns, Li Yao squatted down to watch a few people knead the buns. She saw Chen Huang's sister-in-law piled up the dough balls in a ceramic basin, grabbed a small ball from the top, rolled them into balls quickly, and then Flatten it evenly, put a tablespoon of vegetables on top, wrap it up, and a steamed stuffed bun is ready.Li Yao thought it was very simple, and followed her mother-in-law's example, grabbing a handful of dough balls, but when kneading the skin of the buns, she couldn't knead them well, it was either thick or crumbled, it looked simple but difficult to do.

When the buns were all ready, Chen and Huang put the buns on the steamer made of bamboo slices, put them into a large pot of boiled water, and covered them.

After about 10 minutes, the pot was ready, and this pot can be used to steam three steamers. Chen Huang asked Li Yao and Xing'er to bring the two steamers to the hall of the inner house for Hong Daniu and the others to taste first.

"This is really different from the buns we eat. The skin of this bun is not so thick, it's full of stuffing!" Hong Da Niu said while eating.

"And the taste is better than buns." Zhou Qing and the others also echoed.

Chen Shizhu ate the steamed stuffed bun, but didn't speak.

　 Li Yao also picked up one and ate it, this green vegetable paired with this meat dregs tasted quite delicious, this was something that she couldn't eat in her previous life.

"Sister-in-law, why is this bun so strange?" Chen Baojia asked, pointing to the steamer.

When Li Yao saw it, she almost spit out the steamed stuffed bun from her mouth, and said with a dry laugh, "I probably made this one. It looks a bit ugly, but it's still edible."

"Sister-in-law, you made it, then I want to eat this." Chen Baojia grabbed the buns in his hands as if someone would snatch them from him.After taking a bite, Chen Baojia frowned, took another bite, and then stretched his brows: "Finally, I got the filling."

Li Yao said in embarrassment: "It's the first time to make it, the first time to make it." This bun is made after she crushed the bun skin, and then added a piece of pink skin on it, so the bun skin is so thick.

Chen Wenbin twitched his lips and looked at his wife.

Xing'er also smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, this is the first time I do it like this, I didn't do it so well the first time I did it."

"But now you are doing very well, and whoever will marry Xing'er from our family will be blessed." Li Yao laughed.

"Sister-in-law, why are you making fun of him!" Xing'er stomped her feet, turned around and ran out.

Everyone laughed, and Zhou Xin asked Li Yao strangely: "Sister-in-law, why didn't you learn how to make steamed buns at your mother's house before? Don't you make this kind of stuffed buns for Chinese New Year?" This is what Chen Bao's family said just now.

"This..." Li Yao was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"My sister-in-law's mother loves her so she won't let her learn." Chen Baojia finally came to his senses.

"So it is."
