In the fishing houses around Hongyang, we have had the habit of eating rice dumplings since ancient times.

The locals eat rice dumplings and have nothing to do with the Dragon Boat Festival celebration of Qu Yuan, mainly because they are simple and easy to carry. When the farmland is harvested in autumn, they go to sea to catch fish at other times. Rice dumplings are a very suitable food.

Another type of food is buns, but buns require filling and oil. The delicious food is still quite consuming ingredients. The rice dumplings are different. Local rice dumplings do not have as many flavors as they are now. Most of them steamed glutinous rice and sprinkle some white sugar and brown sugar into them. The steamed rice dumplings are salty rice dumplings, which can be eaten after being peeled apart.

As for rice dumpling leaves, it is even simpler. Local rice dumpling leaves are not valuable because there are many reeds growing in Ambergris Lake, so the surrounding farmers use these reed leaves to make rice dumplings.

After Ao Mudong opened the basket, Ao Muyang looked down at the things inside and was stunned: "What is this? Brick rice dumplings?"

"Fang Zongzi." Ao Mudong smiled, "Longtou, you really have little knowledge and are rare and strange. Have you never eaten such Zongzi?"

Ao Muyang said, "I've always disappointed you. I've really eaten it. I just made rice dumplings in Guangdong and Guangxi. I just haven't seen them in Hongyang. Your wife is very knowledgeable and knows how to wrap square dumplings that are rare in the south."

Ao Mudong asked, "What is a good knowledge?"

Ao Muyang sighed: "When you go back and study more, your culture doesn't match your wife."

Ao Mudong said unwillingly: "What? My wife has nothing to do with the southerners in making rice dumplings like this. This is their hometown. They are busy in the farmland from spring to autumn. In order to facilitate work, they wrap rice with bamboo leaves and lotus leaves, and then cook them to the fields for dry food for noon. Such square rice dumplings are big and can be eaten with one person, so it doesn't matter to what you said about Guangdong and Guangxi zongzi."

Ao Muyang suddenly realized that it was.

The best leaves for making rice dumplings are bamboo leaves, and the bamboo leaves have bamboo fragrance, but the reed leaves produced in Ambergris Lake are not inferior to bamboo leaves. There have been bamboos on Dalong Mountain since ancient times, and there are also bamboos on them if you want to harvest them.

The reed leaves are wider and thicker, which is very suitable for making sweet rice dumplings because their juice has a light sweetness and a fresh plant sweetness.

When Ao Muyang was a child, there were few snacks. Their friends would go to the lake to pick reeds and bite the juice inside. At that time, the adults lied to them that this was a little sugarcane. The children really believed it because they didn’t have much sugarcane when they were young.

The rice dumplings sent by Ao Mudong have several flavors, including the seafood flavor he mentioned.

He relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat the water. Hongyang Fishermen has a long history of making seafood rice dumplings. At first, it was difficult to sell damaged sea fish, so the fishermen had to keep it and eat it themselves.

They pick the fish and cook it with rice. When they eat it, they just need a bowl of rice, and no longer need any dishes.

Sometimes they had to go out to sea to work and could not use porcelain bowls to fill their rice. But they returned to the past reform and opening up, fishermen didn’t have many plastic bags, so they used reed leaves to wrap them into the shape of rice dumplings. This is the origin of local seafood rice dumplings.

The one that Ao Muyang opened was not a seafood rice dumpling, but a pork and mung bean rice dumpling. After the rice dumpling leaves were removed, the steam was pouring out. The mellow sweet taste quickly attracted the general and the wolf brothers.

The rice dumplings are thick and juicy. Ao Mudong used half-fat and thin pork belly at home, mixed with fresh spring peas and mung beans, which looked delicious.

Ao Muyang took a bite and scented it into his mouth. He nodded and said, "It's delicious."

Ao Mudong said happily: "That's the designated one. Fresh fat pork, fresh peas and mung beans, and fresh rice must be delicious."

Ao Muyang chewed and said, "It's just summer and the rice has only been planting for more than a month. Where did the fresh rice come from?"

Ao Mudong said, "My wife's hometown is from, isn't I going to get married? Her hometown is trying to find a way to send some things to dowry, rice, silk cloth, clothes, shoes and hats, etc., which is a lot of mess."

Ao Muyang asked, "If you get married, can the people from your wife come over?"

Ao Mudong shook his head and said, "If you can't get through, they can't leave the country. At that time, my aunt Jin Huizi will be the representative of the woman. Oh, their fucking country."

Listening to him, Ao Muyang couldn't help laughing.

Ao Mudong asked inexplicably: "Why are you laughing at?"

Ao Muyang asked, "Why is your wife called Jin Huizi? Do you call her aunt or cousin?"

Ao Mudong uneasyly pulled his clothes and said, "This is the name of this."

"What do you call me if you have a child in the future?"

"Wori, Longtou, eat quietly. Don't you know whether you eat or not? Why do you say so much?" Ao Mudong left with his hands behind his back.

The general wagged his tail and licked the rice dumpling leaves on the ground. Lao Ao saw that it was pitiful and handed it half of the rice dumpling in his hand, so the general started eating happily.

Lang Er took its place to lick the rice dumplings, so Lao Ao had to take out a new rice dumpling and split it with Lang Da, but Lang Er didn't even look at it, and continued to lick the rice dumpling leaves there. The rough tongue licked the rice dumpling leaves...

It is very close to the Dragon Boat Festival. Ao Muyang used to buy rice dumplings, but this year he simply made rice dumplings at home. Because the sea was safe recently and the fishing ground was safe, he was idle at home.

He doesn't make any seafood-filled rice dumplings, and he has eaten enough of that thing since he was a child.

Song Qiumin gave him some dried plum vegetables that he had dried, so he made dried plum vegetables and meat dumplings.

When he cooks glutinous rice, he first put a thin layer of fat pork on the bottom of the pot. The glutinous rice cooked in this way is shiny and covered with lard.

He added dried plums and stewed pork belly pieces, and the rice dumplings that came out after being wrapped in the rice dumpling leaves were delicious and had a delicious gravy.

After Lu Zhizi came back, she praised the rice dumplings he made. She thought they were delicious and wanted to take some to make Dragon Boat Festival gifts for her students. In this way, Ao Muyang had to stay at home and make rice dumplings to his life.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, he was wrapping rice dumplings and someone shouted at the door: "Leader, are you at home?"

The general who was lying beside him watching him make rice dumplings and the wolf brothers rushed out suddenly. Ao Muyang heard the voice of the old nibing craftsman and shouted: "Come back!"

The general and the wolf brothers ran back suddenly.

He walked to the front yard and saw Chen Dongwa standing calmly outside the door, and waved, "Master Chen, you can just come in. My dog ​​doesn't bite people. Is there anything you have to do?"

Chen Dongwa rubbed his hands and looked at him in embarrassment and said, "I won't go in anymore. Leader, I'll talk to you about something and want to find you to see if I can help."

Ao Muyang asked, "You talk first, don't worry, come in and have a drink of tea."
