Chapter 87: "Bag"

After washing the clothes and returning home, grandma and grandma also carried the freshly milled glutinous rice flour home.

People in the village are used to soaking their own glutinous rice for one night, and then take it to the village's flour mill to grind it the next day.As for the stone mill that was once available in every household, it has gradually disappeared.The convenience and quickness of rice mills and flour mills have long outlawed stone mills.It only costs [-] cents to grind a whole hundred catties of rice.This kind of convenience and quickness existed long before the division of fields to households.

The ground glutinous rice flour is taken home and sieved again with a powder drawer to sift out the rough flour heads.In this way, the rice dumplings will be delicious and delicate.Qin Rong and I were lying beside the table, watching grandma sifting the flour, filling the round flour drawer with glutinous rice flour, holding one side of the drawer with the right hand, and gently patting the edge of the drawer with the left hand, allowing the glutinous rice flour to pass through The strainer on the powder drawer.Then the large powder sieve that falls below catches it.

In the hands of grandma, the white glutinous rice flour was piled up like snow in the flour sieve, and in a blink of an eye, twenty catties of glutinous rice flour were sieved.

Then you can take the glutinous rice flour to the kitchen, put a small bowl of water in the hot vegetable pot, add the glutinous rice flour into it and stir to make a thick flour, and then scrape the flour out with a spatula , put it on the remaining glutinous rice flour, and keep kneading until the raw glutinous rice flour is eaten into the flour seeds and becomes chewy and moderately soft and hard, then it can be cooked.

This year, the fillings are richer than usual. Although leeks and pork belly are still the main ingredients, delicious reservoir fish, shrimp, and chicken are also added.The fillings are first stir-fried until they are fully cooked. As soon as grandma put the fillings on the table, the little uncle quickly picked up a few chopsticks and put the fillings into Qin Rong and I's mouths, and then he himself, not afraid of being burned .

"Naughty ghost!" Grandma didn't care about these things because of the Chinese New Year. She just laughed and scolded us and drove us to wash our hands and help wrap the dumplings.

"Ping, here you are." The little aunt sneaked out of the kitchen with a small plate of stuffing, and greeted the three of us to eat in the kitchen. She even served the porridge for us.

"Thank you sister (little aunt)." We hurriedly dried our hands and ran into the kitchen. (I don’t know if everyone loved to eat dumpling fillings when they were young, but they didn’t like the dumpling skin?)
"Qin Hua, where are you? Are you still here to help?" Grandma saw that her grandmother and daughter-in-law had already sat down at the table and started making rice dumplings. Fearing that her mother-in-law would be dissatisfied, she hurriedly called to her little daughter.My mother-in-law pays the most attention to these things, and my daughter's family must know how to make dumplings and kill chickens.The wrapped dumplings should have a bulging belly and be of the same size; the cooked chicken should be placed on the god-worshiping tray with its head upright, without any skew, and both chicken feet should be stuffed into the stomach.

"Hey, come right away." The little aunt responded loudly, and brought out a plate of shredded sauerkraut that she had freshly pickled from the cabinet for the three of us.Shredded pickled cabbage is different from other places. It is made by washing fresh bitter celery, drying it, then chopping it and adding salt, a little fresh radish sprouts, and chopped green onion.As long as it is marinated for half a month, the dried bitter celery is ready to eat.However, you can't touch the oil, and it will deteriorate when it touches the oil.Every time you want to eat, just use a special spoon to dig out a little bit and add the fragrant peanut oil to eat. "Just put the bowls and chopsticks in the bowl after you finish eating."

My favorite is my little aunt's sauerkraut, which is sour and refreshing, and I never get tired of eating it.I thought to myself, as long as I give me sauerkraut every meal.

As for the little uncle and Qin Rong, they both love meat, no, they are eating stuffing in their mouths, but their eyes are aimed at the sweet and sour goose palm stewed by the little aunt on the stove.

Satisfied, I put down the bowl, touched my swollen belly, then washed my hands and prepared to help wrap the dumplings.In the previous life, the rice dumplings I made were appreciated by the whole family. I don’t like rice cakes very much, maybe I don’t like glutinous rice very much.However, I like to help with bagging.Grandpa, father, and little uncle are all big eaters, and they can eat twenty or thirty in one meal.Note: The dumplings are twice the size of dumplings, so they are definitely not small.

Therefore, every time the family makes dumplings, they have to grind [-] catties of glutinous rice flour to eat, while other people's homes can handle it with only five catties.

The little uncle and Qin Rong glanced at each other, and when I got out of the kitchen, they couldn't wait to rush to the casserole on the stove together.
