Chapter 377
"Brother Chen, come back from going to the market to buy fifteen pounds of pork belly, with more lean meat." Mu Xiu said to Chen Xuhui, who was feeding cows in the yard. "Okay." Chen Xuhui put down the grass in his hand and went out to buy meat at the market.
Mu Xiu took out the meat in the space first, washed it and cut it into small pieces, put it in soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, five-spice powder, green onion, ginger and garlic, and then continued to put it in the space. After Chen Xuhui came back, the meat was marinated and tasted.
There are many salted egg yolks and salted duck eggs in Muxiu. She couldn't explain why there were only egg yolks but no egg whites. She could only take out the salted duck eggs and clean them, and then cover them with a drying net on the basin. After opening the duck eggs, the egg whites flowed into the basin below. The egg yolks would stay on the drying net. Then clean the remaining egg whites on the egg yolks and put them in another clean basin. Muxiu made a total of 10 salted duck egg yolks.
When Chen Xuhui came back from buying the meat, Mu Xiu marinated the meat again and took the things he had just prepared to go to the yard.
Mu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shuilian were making rice dumplings. The two of them moved quickly, overlapping the two rice dumpling leaves, folding the bottom one part, folding the right one to 90 degrees, pressing a little around, holding it in their hands into a cone, and then starting to put glutinous rice inside, first putting a layer of glutinous rice, adding candied dates and peanuts, and finally adding a layer of glutinous rice. After putting rice inside, folding it to the left, folding it in all directions, folding it in the back, folding the right one to the left, folding the left one to the left, folding the extra ones forward, and then bundling it with cotton thread, and a triangle zongzi is wrapped.
After Mu Xiu's filling, they had already wrapped nearly a hundred rice dumplings. Mu Xiu put the things on the table, sat down, picked up the rice dumpling leaves and started wrapping them.
The steps are the same, just replace the layer of candied dates and peanuts with meat and egg yolks.
As expected by Mu Xiu, Zhou Shuilian asked in surprise: "What are you doing with these egg yolks?" After asking, he suddenly reacted and asked in even more surprise: "Where did you get your egg yolks? Where are the egg whites?"
"The meat and salted egg yolks are wrapped in rice dumplings. The taste is something that makes people forget when they eat it. The egg white is in the kitchen. The salted duck eggs were marinated in our house last time. There were so much marinated. I took some out to use it." Mu Xiu pointed his chin towards the direction of the kitchen.
"I hadn't started eating the salted duck eggs I pickled last time, you were wasted, you..." Zhou Shuilian suddenly became uneasy.
All the duck eggs at Mu Xiu's house were made into salted duck eggs, and they were placed in the cellar after they were made. Zhou Shuilian didn't know how much they were. Mu Xiu said that he liked to eat salty oil. The longer he needed to pickle, the more butter it would be, so no one had touched them.
Unexpectedly, Ermu Xiu took it out and ruined it now.
"Mom, our family is not short of these duck eggs. You can make them as delicious as you make them. You can only make rice dumplings this time a year. Besides, if you sell them out, the price is higher, you can earn everything back." Mu Xiu quickly wrapped rice dumplings in his hand.
"Do I feel sorry for the money? I'm afraid of wasting it. I didn't eat anything before..." Zhou Shuilian remembered two years ago, when she was still hungry all day long.
"Mom, you can spread the salted duck egg white into a cake, cut it into shreds, and then mix it with shredded chili or tofu. It tastes very good." Mu Xiu said from the side.
"It's a blessing that our family is not short of these now. Otherwise, it would cost more oil and noodle pancakes to eat this egg white, which would be a lot of trouble. It would be more convenient to eat it." Zhou Shuilian said as she began to feel sorry for the food again.
"I'll try it tonight." Mu Xiaoshu thought it tasted delicious, so she was eager to try it.
After three people finished a day, they finally made more than 400 rice dumplings, more than 100 sweet and more than 200 salty ones, and filled three baskets with them. Mu Xiu went to get more than 100 salty duck egg yolks in the middle of the way.
However, she took out the salted duck egg yolks directly from the space this time. The egg whites of the 100 salted duck eggs were already filled with two full pots, which looked very large. Anyway, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaoshu couldn't beat another 100 salted duck eggs to see how many egg whites were.
So Mu Xiu was very bold and took the salted egg yolk directly from the space, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to crack one hundred salted duck eggs one by one.
"It's hot this day, and the rice dumplings cannot be stored for a long time. I will go to the county town with Brother Chen tomorrow morning and send the rice dumplings to the snack shop." Mu Xiu said.
"Okay, I'll cook a few rice dumplings first." Zhou Shuilian picked up twenty salty and sweet rice dumplings each.
"By the way, how do you cook this meat dumpling?" Zhou Shuilian suddenly stopped and looked at Mu Xiu after taking two steps.
"Mom, it's the same way to cook like sweet rice dumplings, but it's best to wait until the water boils before cooking. The leaves of the rice dumplings cooked in this way are green and beautiful." Mu Xiu explained to Zhou Shuilian.
"Cheng" Zhou Shuilian nodded and went into the kitchen to cook rice dumplings.
I made porridge for dinner, stir-fried with sour and sour potato shredded potatoes and green peppers, and a large plate of rice dumplings. I peeled a meat dumpling and it was salty and fragrant. The white glutinous rice was wrapped in the gravy. I took a bite and the meaty aroma was full. I took a bite and the butter from the salted egg yolk was leached out, and the overflow was about to flow to my hands.
"This meat dumpling is delicious, the meat is so fragrant, and the egg yolk is so fragrant." Mushui couldn't stop after tasting one. After eating five meat dumplings, the rest of the people's eyes lit up after tasting them, and they couldn't help but eat them again.
"I didn't expect that the meat dumplings were so delicious with egg yolks. Let's make meat dumplings from now on. No one will eat these sweet dumplings." Zhou Shuilian said with deep emotion as everyone likes to eat meat dumplings. She almost finished eating meat dumplings, and the sweet dumplings were still not moved.
"Mom, I'll cook eight more meat dumplings tomorrow morning. Brother Chen and I will eat them on the way." Mu Xiu saw that everyone likes to eat them, so she didn't rush to eat them. She used to eat them often, so she only ate one, so she was a little unsatisfied. According to her appetite, five or six rice dumplings of this size are no problem at all.
"Okay, eat these sweet rice dumplings quickly, don't waste it." Zhou Shuilian opened a sweet rice dumpling and took a bite. This sweet rice dumpling, which I used to think was a delicious taste that my tongue would bite off, but after eating the meat rice dumplings just now, I always felt that it was a bit bad.
Everyone may have this feeling. The degree of eating sweet rice dumplings is obviously much slower than that of eating meat rice dumplings...
The next day, after Mu Xiu got up, Chen Xuhui had loaded the cart and the rabbit was killed and cleaned it up. Zhou Shuilian cooked the rice dumplings. After Mu Xiu finished washing, he jumped onto the ox cart and drove towards the county town with Chen Xuhui.
It was almost noon when the two of them arrived at the snack shop. Qiu Caiyun was cleaning in front of them, and Chen Xiaolian was sitting obediently at the counter, wiping the counter with a clean rag. Mu Xiu greeted the two and entered the yard.
