My Girlfriend is More Than Beautiful - Chapter 373
After Labor Day, the weather got hotter and hotter, and the Dragon Boat Festival that Mo Nanbei was looking forward to was finally here.
People take food as their heaven, and the most common manifestation in festivals is eating.
Before the holiday, there were quite a lot of classes. Fortunately, the Dragon Boat Festival ushered in the holiday, and the two of them could finally take a break.
Early in the morning, Li Ziqian was still asleep when he was shaken by Mo Nanbei, who woke up first.
“Ma De, Li Ziqian, get up for me.”
Li Ziqian rubbed his eyes, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Mo Nanbei’s face that was getting closer and closer to him, he turned over, Li Ziqian buried his head in the pillow, “It’s not easy to take a vacation, why don’t you let it go? I’ll get some sleep.”
This week is almost always spent in the endless morning. Li Ziqian has waited for a long time for today’s bedtime. He does not allow Mo Nanbei to spoil this beautiful morning.
Mo Nanbei raised the volume, still unwilling to let Li Ziqian go, “No, it’s already nine o’clock, if you don’t hurry to the supermarket, the glutinous rice will be sold out!!”
Although she had never done it before, Mo Nanbei had already decided that she would eat zongzi on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, but she was as ingenious as Mo Nanbei, of course, she had to make the zongzi herself.
Li Ziqian waved his hand weakly, “It’s only nine o’clock, so let me sleep until ten o’clock in the head office.”
After all, it’s a holiday, Li Ziqian thinks that if he doesn’t sleep past ten o’clock, he’s a bit sorry for the definition of a holiday.
“You go to bed at ten o’clock. After ten o’clock, there will be a hairy glutinous rice dumpling leaf.”
“How can you be so crazy, you should rest now.”
“Why can’t you get up?”
“Can’t afford it!”
“You get me up!”
“I can’t even kill you!”
Although he made up his mind not to get out of bed, Mo Nanbei couldn’t sleep because of the noise beside him. Li Ziqian was forced to give in, so he slowly changed his clothes and got up. It’s just that no matter how that expression looks, it looks like a face of bitterness and hatred.
The two of them changed their clothes and fed Danny and Golden Retriever before going out.
The weather in the morning was still a bit hot, and I couldn’t feel it with the air conditioner turned on at home, but as soon as I went out, a heat wave greeted me.
However, in the morning, it is still acceptable. Although it is outdoors, as long as you do not exercise vigorously, you will not sweat.
The distance from the supermarket is not too far, but the distance of more than one kilometer still makes two lazy people unhappy, so electric vehicles have become a necessary means of transportation for two people.
Originally, I used shared electric vehicles to go to and from school, but it was always shared, and the illusory feeling could not be grasped, so the two resolutely bought an electric vehicle, at least it was very convenient for short distance travel, or A weapon for two people to go shopping in the supermarket.
Sitting on an electric car, feeling the city breeze blowing and pulling up your hair, that kind of feeling is very comfortable, at least you won’t have this kind of feeling in a car at least.
Li Ziqian rides a bicycle as usual, while Mo Nanbei sits behind Li Ziqian and wraps his waist around him. While walking on the road, you can also see the pedestrians coming and going, all kinds of shops, and fireworks in the world. Qi is also a picture worthy of nostalgia. Every time at this time, Mo Nanbei’s mood relaxes freely.
It seems that at this moment, you can relax some of the pressure and worry in your heart, and even want the car to keep going and never stop.
However, Mo Nanbei, who had regained his senses, suddenly thought again that there seemed to be no pressure or worry in his heart at all.
Li Ziqian said, “Next time you come to ride an electric bike, I’ll sit behind you.”
Although Li Ziqian couldn’t see it, Mo Nanbei still rolled his eyes at him, “How can there be such a thing.”
“Why isn’t it like this, anyway, let me feel the feeling of sitting in the back seat.”
“No, your back seat can only belong to me.” Mo Nanbei pouted naturally and rubbed behind Li Ziqian.
Li Ziqian couldn’t be more stubborn than Mo Nanbei, so Li Ziqian could only scold, “You bastard.”
Mo Nanbei ignored him and continued to focus on the passing scenery. The towering buildings, the carts selling fruit, and the empty kindergarten all became attractive sights.
After being stunned for a while, Mo Nanbei said, “Li Ziqian, don’t buy a car. It’s good for us to ride an electric car for the rest of our lives.”
Just ride an electric bike for the rest of your life, that’s fine.
Li Ziqian paused for a while, then burst out laughing, “You think beautiful, you want me to ride an electric car all the time, right? You have to take me next time.”
“Li Ziqian, you are really good at breaking the atmosphere, stupid!” Mo Nanbei punched Li Ziqian in the back.
In fact, the car and the like will be arranged by Li Ziqian at home, but these things without a car cannot be linked to the happiness of Li Ziqian and Mo Nanbei. Li Ziqian finds that it is good to be short-sighted, and live yesterday and today. Tomorrow will do. As for the future, think about it later.
Everyone has to go through too much. If you still need to devote some energy to thinking about future plans and goals, it will be very tiring.
As long as you are happy enough in the moment.
Finally arrived at the supermarket, Mo Nanbei pulled Li Ziqian and firstly locked the target, which was to buy zongzi and zong leaves. Although I could see people buying glutinous rice, it was not like a long queue, and there was a lot of stock in the supermarket. , As for what Mo Nanbei said, it wouldn’t matter if it was snatched up later.
“I said don’t be so anxious. In fact, it’s fine if you come later. It’s your fault that you are so anxious.” Li Ziqian was still unhappy that he didn’t sleep well.
After all, a good night’s sleep ensures the efficiency of the day, and Li Ziqian feels that because he doesn’t sleep well, he has ruined his own affairs.
“Didn’t you **** see that someone is already buying it, it shows that my decision is the right one. We don’t have anything to eat when you do something stupid.”
“Ehhh.” Li Ziqian pointed at Mo Nanbei with a dissatisfied face, “I just wanted to sleep a little longer. Your personal attack is too much.”
Really, who would have thought that Mo Nanbei would be so excited about eating this thing, and only at this time can she show her more diligent side.
“You know what, the zong leaves and glutinous rice have to be soaked in water first, and you will eat a fart when you wake up.”
“Don’t be so noble. You wake up so early for something like ‘eating’, and you are still so active about eating.”
Mo Nanbei glared at Li Ziqian with a gloomy face, “Fuck off, you are not active in eating, you have a problem with your brain, do you know that you don’t want to eat it, right? You are not allowed to eat the zongzi when I make it, and I will smash you if you eat it. teeth.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, so irritable.”
No matter how much we quarrel, we still have to buy glutinous rice. Li Ziqian took a bag and Mo Nanbei put it into it. He couldn’t measure it properly, so he weighed a large plastic bag and five catties of glutinous rice.
Then there are the zong leaves. There are sun-dried and bandaged leaves next to them. I still can’t grasp the amount, so I took a few grapes and put them in the shopping cart. Anyway, this thing should be more or less. Pack more dumplings, if you buy less, you won’t want to come here again.
The two of them are still serious about being lazy, but fortunately, the two of them are not too lazy about cooking, that is, they always push each other away about who cleans up the kitchen after eating.
“Do you know how to make zongzi?” Li Ziqian asked suddenly, mainly because Li Ziqian had not eaten the zongzi made by Mo Nanbei.
Mo Nan Beisen’s cold eyes shot over, “Are you questioning me?”
“No, no.” Li Ziqian quickly denied it, “I just haven’t seen you wrap it, so I don’t know.”
Mo Nanbei grinned suddenly, “Actually, I don’t, I only eat ready-made ones at home.”
Li Ziqian was speechless: “…Then you still look confident. I thought you were already a veteran of making dumplings.”
“Hey, can I just learn now?”
Li Ziqian sighed and said, “Okay.”
Judging from Li Ziqian’s experience of eating meals made by Mo Nanbei, Mo Nanbei’s learning ability about cooking is quite strong.
So you still have to maintain a heart of awe for this kind of thing, and you won’t be able to eat it if you doubt it.
When buying the same ingredient, Mo Nanbei suddenly remembered an important question and looked at Li Ziqian with a mysterious face, “By the way, do you eat sweet or salty?”
“???” Li Ziqian frowned with a question mark on his face, “You don’t even understand my question mark?”
“Hmmmm.” Mo Nanbei nodded solemnly, “I only eat sweet rice dumplings, how about you?”
“I eat meat dumplings.”
“Damn, I know you are different from me. Why do you like to eat meat dumplings? I really don’t understand how glutinous rice, which is obviously mainly a sweet food, is combined with meat. .”
Li Ziqian slanted the corner of his mouth and let out a chuckle, “Oh, you still have too little knowledge, okay? How can meat and glutinous rice not be combined, people with little knowledge are really scary.”
“Silly, it’s obviously because of your unique taste that you can’t understand it.”
“Don’t talk shamelessly if you don’t know much.”
Because in a public place like a supermarket, the two didn’t want to fight over a sweet and salty issue, so they just continued to buy things after a symbolic quarrel.
In fact, Mo Nanbei guessed in advance that Li Ziqian might like the meat dumplings, and he also planned to buy pork belly to make meat dumplings. As for the debate, it was because of a procedure.
Because Mo Nanbei likes sweet rice dumplings with candied dates, so
The two first bought some candied dates nearby.
“How can something so sweet be combined with zongzi?” Li Ziqian couldn’t help but sigh.
Mo Nanbei gave Li Ziqian an impolite glance, “If you still want to eat the zongzi I made, shut your mouth!”
A man can stretch and bend, Li Ziqian really closed his mouth, mainly for that food.
Next, I went to the fresh meat area to buy pork belly. Because Li Ziqian wanted to eat some fat, but he didn’t want to eat too fat, so he deliberately picked a pork belly with less fat.
“If you said that you actually like to eat meat dumplings, can you add anything to the meat? For example, crab roe, fish meat and shrimp slippery?”
“Huh?” Li Ziqian frowned.
Although everything that I said sounds delicious, it seems to become strange as soon as it is combined with zongzi, Li Ziqian waved his hand, “Forget it, I’m a turtle, I eat normally. All you need is pork belly with salted egg yolk.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to try it?”
“No, no, no.”
“Try it, maybe it’s delicious, and some foods need to be innovated.”
Li Ziqian frowned, “Forget it. According to what you said, can the sweet rice dumplings you like be combined with all the sweet ones? For example, add some white chocolate cake and white rabbit toffee in it??”
“…Stop talking.” Mo Nanbei twitched the corners of his mouth, “I already want to vomit.”
I originally thought that there was no salted egg yolk in the supermarket and I would have to go to the market. Fortunately, the two found it in a hidden place and brought a lot back.
Moreover, Mo Nanbei also said that this salted egg yolk can be kept for making egg yolk cakes in the future.
In addition to buying the things needed for the dumplings, the two also swept the snack area and thought about what was missing in the refrigerator at home to replenish the goods.
Every trip is a rare opportunity, so every time I come to the supermarket, I am on the way to stock up.
After leaving the supermarket, of course, Li Ziqian had a large plastic bag in his hand, which could just be put on the front of the battery car and stuck on it, without wasting the energy of the two of them.
Still on the electric car, Mo Nanbei was still sitting in the back seat.
Li Ziqian looked at the road ahead and said to Mo Nanbei behind him, “Isn’t there a dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival? Maybe you can buy me a dragon boat, so that I can fully implement the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival.”
“I know you’re farting when you say this. Do you listen to what you’re saying is human?”
“Hahahaha.” Li Ziqian himself was amused by what he said, and then deliberately said: “You are incompetent, so admit it if you are incompetent.”
“If you really want it, I’ll buy you a mini dragon boat, keep it at home, and buy a small swimming pool filled with water, and you can sit in it and row.”
Li Ziqian nodded seriously, “It sounds pretty good.”
“Not bad for you!”
When the two arrived at the community, Li Ziqian was in charge of parking the electric car, and Mo Nanbei was in charge of walking to the elevator with things in hand.
Two big bags of plastic bags of all kinds of good dishes, temporary things, etc. are really not light for Mo Nanbei, she howled, “Li Ziqian, come and help me, motherfucker, it’s killing me. “
Li Ziqian quickly got on the electric car, and quickly stepped forward and brought Mo Nanbei’s heavy bag with one hand, “You are such a weak chicken.”
Without the heavy part in her hand, Mo Nanbei’s shoulders finally stopped rising and falling. She turned her head and smiled at Li Ziqian, “Hey, isn’t this the time to show your boyfriend’s strength?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, you have to practice yourself. If I’m not here, wouldn’t you be able to carry a bag of rice?”
“Isn’t it normal that I can’t carry a bag of rice? Which beautiful girl have you ever seen who needs to resist rice to go upstairs?”
“Don’t be disgusting with me, just press the elevator.”
When he finally got home, Li Ziqian put the big plastic bag in his hand on the ground, then sat down on the sofa to rest, while Mo Nanbei put the things he bought, and put the snacks on In the snack cabinet, the meat and vegetables bought are placed in the refrigerator, and the ingredients for making rice dumplings that will be used next are also taken out and placed in the kitchen.
First, put the glutinous rice you bought in a large pot that can hold it, and then add the water that has not been soaked in the glutinous rice for two hours. Since the zong leaves you bought are dry, they also need to be soaked in water. After doing all this, , Mo Nanbei first slipped into the bedroom, then came out after a while, and then sat mysteriously beside Li Ziqian with his hands in his pockets.
Li Ziqian glanced at Mo Nanbei alertly, and intuitively felt that this person seemed to want to do something bad, so he asked, “What do you want?”
Mo Nanbei raised his lips, “What do I want to do, you are weird.”
“What am I weird, what do you want?”
Mo Nanbei was surprised, “Did you see it?”
“What did I see?” But Li Ziqian immediately changed his tune, nodded and said, “Yes, I saw it.”
Although he didn’t know what he saw, he was right.
“Hmph, that’s fine.” Mo Nanbei snorted and took out a small bag-like thing from his pocket.
It is a sachet, and the exterior is also covered with exquisite embroidery.
Mo Nanbei said, “For you.”
Li Ziqian took the sachet and played with it a few times in his hand, then leaned forward and smelled it. It was the scent of jasmine. Although it was a good thing, Li Ziqian still didn’t understand how he could give him something like this from a big man.
And it doesn’t make sense.
“Why give me a sachet? A token of love?” Li Ziqian asked.
“Setting a token of a fart, this is also a custom of the Dragon Boat Festival.”
“Huh? Why didn’t I know?”
“That’s it…” Mo Nanbei smiled, “Dragon Boat Festival is going to give children sachets, so you know that?”
“…what the **** kid??”
Mo Nanbei looked proud, “This is my love for my eldest son.”
Li Ziqian was a little helpless holding the sachet, but he was taken advantage of by the hateful Mo Nanbei before he knew it, “But when did you buy the sachet? I don’t know?”
Valley
“Che, there are more things you don’t know.”
“…”
Although Mo Nanbei took advantage of this wave, and the sachet didn’t fit Li Ziqian’s self-proclaimed masculine temperament, but it’s all given away, so there’s no reason not to. Besides, the fragrance of this sachet is really good, and it’s good to put it on the bed. Mosquito repellent can also be…
It’s nearly eleven o’clock in the morning, because Mo Nanbei got up early in the morning, so he didn’t even eat breakfast, and now he’s quite hungry.
“Hurry up and cook, I’m already starving, can I eat zongzi at noon?” Li Ziqian asked.
“What do you say?”
“Okay, don’t eat at noon, let’s eat in the afternoon, let’s cook quickly.”
Fortunately, Li Ziqian has a relatively high level of self-consciousness, and thinks that it is best for two people to complete lunch together.
The arrangement for noon is that Li Ziqian will make braised pork rice, while Mo Nanbei will make sweets and soup.
Although summer is not a good season to drink soup, I always feel that eating without soup seems to be missing something.
The arrangement at noon is not rich, but the two mainly want to move the main event to the evening, and just eat whatever they want at noon, although this is not really a casual meal.
I bought a lot of pork belly in the supermarket in the morning, so I could just take part of it to make braised pork rice.
Braised pork rice is not difficult. The main highlight is the mixture of rice and soup. The mystery of bibimbap is simply irresistible. Not only the braised pork soup can be used for bibimbap, but the boiled soup can also be used for bibimbap. The summary is two Word, “Bibimbap.”
Cut the pork belly into strips, neither too thick nor too thin, mainly because the bibimbap will be a little greasy when it is too thick.
Throw the sliced pork belly strips into the pot, no need to put oil, just use the fried oil in the pot, then add chopped green onion, **** powder, and fry until fragrant.
Li Ziqian took a shovel and kept poking around in the pot. The smell of meat radiated straight into his nostrils, which further stimulated Li Ziqian’s taste buds, and suddenly became more hungry.
Fortunately, there are not too many dishes to cook at noon, but Li Ziqian does not have the ability to wait for the dishes to be ready.
It’s really easy for two people to live together. They can eat well, and they don’t need to cater to other people’s tastes too much. What’s even better is that the tastes of Li Ziqian and Mo Nanbei are relatively uniform, except for the sweet and salty party. Disputes, the disagreement between delicious and Pepsi, and the difference between eating spicy food and not eating spicy food.
The most important thing is that both of them love to eat meat. Just based on this one thing in common, it is decided that the two of them will have many common favorite foods.
Next is the fried onion crisp, which should have been done in advance, but Li Ziqian forgot, but it is not a big problem, just continue to do it.
The onion is cut into strips, open another pot, pour some cooking oil into it, heat it up, and then throw the onion in. After all, this is the essence of braised pork rice, so it cannot be omitted.
Slow fry on low heat and fry the onions until golden brown. Remove from the oil and put them in the pot together with the fried pork belly. In addition, you need to add chopped mushrooms.
Next is the stage of adding ingredients, star anise, fragrant leaves, five-spice powder, white pepper powder, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, oyster sauce, then add water that is better than the ingredients, and finally add brown sugar and rock sugar, cover and stew for half Just hours.
During this part of the waiting time, Li Ziqian finally walked out of the kitchen and sat beside Mo Nanbei, who was lying lazily on the bed.
“You can eat delicious food in a while.”
Li Ziqian is already very confident in his craftsmanship.
Mo Nanbei sat up propped up on the bed, and brushed his messy hair, “Then I’ll make desserts now.”
“Go, go, just help me pay attention to the braised pork in the pot, now it’s my turn to play here.” Li Ziqian sat in Mo Nanbei’s seat and looked at the phone intently.
Mo Nanbei glared at Li Ziqian secretly, and came to the kitchen to prepare dessert and soup.
Making desserts is a habit for Mo Nanbei. Basically, as long as it’s not too difficult, Mo Nanbei can handle it with one hand.
It is not difficult for Mo Nanbei to work slowly and work hard.
The dessert to be made this time is puffs.
Take out the large glass bowl from the cupboard, add butter and powdered sugar, then stir with a small silicone spatula, then beat with a whisk until white, then sift in the low-gluten flour, and continue to stir with a spatula until No dry powder.
Then take it out and roll it out on the parchment paper to 3 thickness and put it in the refrigerator to freeze for later use.
Then make another pan to make the batter for the puffs, add butter, milk, water, lye and a pinch of salt.
Don’t look at a kitchen only for Li Ziqian and Mo Nanbei to eat, but there are quite a lot of various tools in it. There are several mouthfuls in the pot alone, and the cooking and dessert cooking are separated.
Boil on low heat until it boils, turn off the heat and pour in the low-gluten flour. At this time, Li Ziqian comes in.
“Why?” Mo Nanbei asked.
“I’ll take a look at my braised pork.”
“I checked it out for you, it’s fine.”
“No, I’m just here to add some more.”
Li Ziqian put some boiled eggs in the pot where he was stewing the braised pork, and then he inspected the progress of Mo Nanbei’s work, and then he slipped away again.
The boiled eggs were leftovers from yesterday’s breakfast, not many, just two eggs. It should have tasted better with quail eggs, but because I didn’t have them at home, the boiled eggs were the same.
Mo Nanbei stirred the pot into a lump and poured it into a bowl to cool it a little, then beat three eggs and stirred evenly and added the batter three or four times until the batter fell into an inverted triangle and put it in a piping bag.
Prepare a baking tray, cover with oiled paper, use a piping bag to extrude the oiled paper into a round shape, then take out the frozen puff pastry in the refrigerator, use the cup mouth to press out the original shape to match the squeezed batter , made a total of six, exactly three per person, and baked them in the preheated oven.
Next, we need to make the stuffing in the puffs. When he got here, Mo Nanbei admitted that he was a little tired, mainly because his stomach had been grumbling several times.
Three egg yolks, an appropriate amount of vanilla extract, add lying, low-gluten flour starch and milk, turn on a small fire and heat while stirring, until it is thick, and after sieving, the taste will become more delicate, and it will follow after cooling. Mix the whipped cream into a piping bag, poke a hole at the bottom after the baked puffs are out of the oven, and then use a piping bag to squeeze these custard sauces inside.
Regarding the soup at noon, Mo Nanbei didn’t want to seek such trouble, so he simply made a tomato and egg soup, which is not only fragrant but also very delicious.
The two tossed for a long time, and finally the lunch was ready. In fact, the process was not complicated, but the waiting time took a little more effort.
And Li Ziqian also evenly covered the stewed braised pork on the fragrant rice, and put some hot Shanghai green beside it. In the center of the table is the tomato egg soup and puffs made by Mo Nanbei.
“I can finally eat, I’m starving to death.” Li Ziqian complained, and even felt that the plate of braised pork rice in front of him was not enough.
The pork belly has been stewed badly, and the soup has been thickened. The color is the kind of sugary color that makes people very appetizing. The soup is mixed with the rice with distinct grains, and the soft and rotten meat is combined. Being together is the best match. At this moment, the two feel that there is no other lunch that can compare to these.
“Absolutely.” Li Ziqian couldn’t make any other comments, just praised his craftsmanship over and over again.
The two of them were like wolves who had been hungry for a long time. They didn’t even bother to drink the soup. At this time, they just wanted to stare at the most hungry braised pork rice in front of them. After eating half of the braised pork rice, Mo Nan Bei only felt full, so he scooped a few spoonfuls of tomato egg soup into a bowl and drank it in small sips.
Even if the steaming soup was left there for a while, it was still a bit hot. After a bowl of it, Mo Nanbei’s back had unknowingly sweated out a lot, so he had to lower the temperature of the air conditioner. .
“There are only six puffs, it’s not enough to eat at all.” Li Ziqian took a puff and took a bite while eating the braised pork rice, said.
However, this puff does have the flavor of a dessert shop, with a soft outer skin and a sweet but not greasy sauce inside.
“I just do it based on the vlogger’s volume and forget about the dosage.
Because desserts are very easy to overturn, so generally every step needs to follow the video blogger, and the dosage needs to be exactly the same, so Mo Nanbei directly copies the video blog every time. The main ingredient list, but I regretted it after I made it. tnnd has only made six after being busy for so long, which is clearly a few mouthfuls.
The more he thought about it, the more Mo Nanbei felt like he was at a loss.
“Teach me, next time I’ll make it for you, it’s delicious.” Li Ziqian shook the puff in his hand and said proudly.
Mo Nanbei raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Ziqian suspiciously, “Why don’t you just forget about it.”
Even Mo Nanbei is struggling to do these things, so Li Ziqian should not ask for it.
Li Ziqian was not convinced, “Do you know that the most important thing between two people is trust.”
Mo Nanbei raised his head and asked Li Ziqian, “Then do you know that the most important thing in life is self-knowledge?”
After a meal, they finally filled their stomachs, and the two sat at the dining table, arguing endlessly about who cleans the dishes.
“Go ahead, after all, I made the staple food, so I’m quite tired.” Li Ziqian and Mo Nanbei gave Mo Nanbei a look.
“I’m not going, I make the puffs and soup, so troublesome.”
“But I’m here for the main event.”
“You don’t know how troublesome desserts are to make, do you?”
Originally, the two of them were the cooks, so the other person was responsible for cleaning up the kitchen, but this time, two people participated together, so there were some small problems in the division of labor.
But at the end of the dispute, no one could be stubborn against the other, so the end result was to wash their own tableware.
Mo Nanbei, who was finishing brushing, had an angry look on his face, dissatisfied with Li Ziqian who was cleaning the stove next to him: “I’m your girlfriend, you can tell me so clearly, will you also tell me in the future? money?”
“Of course not.” Li Ziqian quickly denied.
In fact, there is a big difference between dividing money and dividing work. I can spend my money for you, but it is best not to wash your bowls for me.
Mo Nanbei blew his eyes twice, pursed his lips deliberately, and looked down at Li Ziqian pitifully, “Then you can tell me so clearly, I’m really sad, okay?”
“…You obviously have a good relationship with me, okay?”
“Then you can’t let me!” Mo Nanbei pursed her lips and continued to look wronged.
Although Li Ziqian knew very well that Mo Nanbei was just pretending to act again, he still frowned and waved helplessly at Mo Nanbei, “Alright, alright, let’s go and play, I’ll wash here. Headquarters, right?”
“Hehe.” Mo Nanbei immediately changed his face and said happily, “Thank you, Boss Li!” After that, he left the kitchen in a hurry.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, it was finally time to make dumplings.
The glutinous rice and zong leaves have also been soaked, and Li Ziqian and Mo Nanbei have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Mo Nanbei also simply brought the glutinous rice soaked in the kitchen to the dining table in the living room, and the task of making zongzi can be done directly on the dining table.
Other ingredients for salty and sweet rice dumplings are also put aside, and the next step is mainly a technical challenge.
And Li Ziqian obviously couldn’t escape the work of making dumplings this time, and was included in it together.
“I don’t know how to make rice dumplings. I only need to eat them. What if you want me to make them, so what if I can’t eat them?” Li Ziqian was dragged to the dining table by Mo Nanbei, with a bitter look on his face.
The main thing is that making dumplings is not like making dumplings. Although Li Ziqian is not good at making dumplings, no matter how ugly the dumplings are, they can still be eaten. It is nothing more than thicker skin and less stuffing.
But if the dumplings are not good, they may have died before the pot is put into the pot.
In order not to affect this beautiful festival, Li Ziqian intends not to ask for trouble, of course, this can be regarded as another interpretation of laziness.
But Mo Nanbei didn’t intend to let Li Ziqian succeed, and grabbed back Li Ziqian who wanted to escape again, “The two of us can only make zongzi together to experience the real fun of the Dragon Boat Festival, okay? Don’t you run away for me.”
Li Ziqian gave a long sigh and compromised, so he washed his hands and was forced to make zongzi with Mo Nanbei.
But the reality is that Mo Nanbei himself hasn’t figured out how to wrap zongzi, and he is watching the production method played in the video on his mobile phone diligently.
Li Ziqian stared at Mo Nanbei’s clumsy appearance, and couldn’t help complaining, “I said you can’t wrap it yourself, why did you rush me so quickly?”
Mo Nanbei glared at Li Ziqian angrily, “Shut up for me, any more words will question my personality!”
Although Li Ziqian didn’t understand how this matter suddenly became a personality, he still kept his mouth shut.
Mo Nanbei divided two pots of glutinous rice, one pot is used to make the meat dumplings that Li Ziqian likes, and the other is the sweet rice dumplings that Mo Nanbei loves. Of course, some white rice dumplings can also be arranged, and then dip them in white sugar. It’s quite suitable.
Now the pot of glutinous rice that needs to make meat dumplings is added with two spoons of soy sauce and one spoon of salt, and then mixed evenly. This part is mainly to highlight the ‘salty’ characteristics of salty dumplings, and adding soy sauce is also relatively After coloring, the zongzi cooked at the end are more like the color of cooked meat.
The pork belly that has been marinated and prepared in advance has been cut into pieces and placed in a bowl, and the salted duck eggs that need to be used are also fresh, the egg white can flow out directly after being knocked open, but the egg yolk has solidified. It’s perfect for making zongzi.
The dried zong leaves also became full and shiny due to the soaking. Mo Nanbei took out a pair of scissors, cut off the two ends as shown in the video, and then handed the two zong leaves to Li Ziqian. .
“Take it, follow me later.” Mo Nanbei looked at Li Ziqian proudly, like a well-commanded soldier.
Li Ziqian looked at the zong leaf in his hand, and nodded his head twice.
Then Mo Nanbei himself picked up two zong leaves and started teaching on the spot.
Mo Nanbei, who has watched the video, has already learned the essence. The first time he tried it, he looked like it. “Look, you need to stack the two zong leaves separately, and then face each other from the middle to form a funnel shape.
Following the example of Mo Nanbei, Li Ziqian folded the zongzi leaf in his hand, but it twisted into a strange shape. Suddenly, he thought that Mo Nanbei said that it is best not to leave any gaps in the lower part. The zong leaf was punctured.
“Uh…” Li Ziqian didn’t know what to say when he looked at the scene where he rolled over at the beginning.
“Look at you, you’re obviously so stupid, and you still don’t want to learn.” Mo Nanbei shook her head and tsk tsk in admiration.
Li Ziqian threw the broken zong leaf in his hand, and decided to push the fault to Mo Nanbei, “Damn it, I said I can’t do it, so I have to do it, isn’t it a mistake?”
“Is it still my fault for this?”
“if not?”
“Go away, you idiot.”
Since Li Ziqian can’t be carved, Master Mo decided to play in person and teach Li Ziqian how to fold two zong leaves in half into a funnel shape.
Don’t think it’s just a simple action, but it’s not an easy thing to implement.
The process of wrapping meat dumplings is basically to spread a layer of glutinous rice at the bottom of the zongzi leaves, then flatten the salted egg yolk and pork belly, then spread a layer of glutinous rice and wrap it up.
Originally, the problem of filling stuffing was not a problem for Li Ziqian, but how to cover the rice dumpling leaves delicately and tightly, and then wrap it up with a string became another problem.
Li Ziqian tightly squeezed the just-filled zongzi in his hand, and said to Mo Nanbei, “Help me get this stuffed first. I’ll wrap it around with a rope. If we work together, there will be absolutely no problem.”
Mo Nanbei frowned, “I haven’t heard of making rice dumplings, and you still need two people to fight together and wait until it’s time?”
“Don’t worry about it so much, just take it as the ‘Plum’s Thousand-Pack Dumpling Method’ that I personally innovated.”
“Don’t you **** me
