Chapter 121 Lotus leaf porridge
Chapter 121 Lotus leaf porridge
Yun Qinghuan laughed after hearing this, and quickly took out a big steamed bun wrapped in paper from his arms, broke half of it and gave it to her, "Here, here you go, fill your stomach quickly."
She grabbed these when the steamed buns first arrived. She grabbed three steamed buns with white flour at once, which made everyone at the same table envious.
That’s a big white-flour steamed bun!
Usually, it is not a fine bun that you are not willing to eat in the New Year!
Yun Qinghuan ate one and An An ate one. She wrapped the remaining one in paper and planned to take it back to her mother-in-law and Bai Naihan to try it.
But at this moment, seeing that Qiao Yue really hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls, he felt a little distressed and broke off half of it for her to eat.
Jiang Wenxiu next to her also looked at Qiao Yue with pity and gave her a wedding candy, "Here, I'll give you a candy to sweeten your mouth."
In the evening, she cooked a full pot of lotus leaf porridge, which also contained the candied dates she bought and sprinkled with a handful of glutinous rice. The porridge was soft and tasty, with a strong aroma of rice. An An was extremely greedy. , sniffed, "Mom, this porridge smells so good!"
She fried another dish of shredded pork with chili peppers, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and finally baked a few pancakes, and a simple dinner was ready.
The porridge cooked over firewood is much more delicious than the porridge cooked in modern electric rice cookers, and Yun Qinghuan also likes to drink it.
Unluckily, unlike Yun Qinghuan and Jiang Wenxiu, the two of them also picked up several candies, even little An An grabbed two.
The clothes he wore were also in tatters, and he looked sad and contented.
Hearing this, she took the food and ate it. She was indeed very hungry.
Qiao Yue was very moved, but still waved her hand, "I can't take it, and you have to take it back to your family to eat."
They only know that lotus roots and lotus pods can be eaten, but they have never heard that lotus leaves can also be eaten.
Jiang Wenxiu was a little surprised when she heard what she said, "So this thing is still edible."
I was busy at the educated youth spot early in the morning and didn't eat anything. As a result, I was busy all morning and didn't eat a few bites at noon. I was already hungry.
Jiang Wenxiu also saw Xia Mei and pursed her lips, "She and Xia Yuhua are of the same race. Xia Yuhua is getting married today and she will come over to help wash the dishes and wipe the table. Looking at her like this, she is definitely pregnant out of wedlock."
Her eyes lit up when she saw the lotus leaf.
From her point of view, Xia Mei's mother must have received the money, otherwise she would not be happy to let her daughter marry someone else in vain.
It was noon after the banquet. The weather was good today. People felt hot due to the strong sun, and the wind blowing from the road was also hot. After a few people walked for a while, they were all covered in sweat.
Yun Qinghuan laughed after hearing this, scooped a spoon and put it to the child's mouth, "Now, be careful not to burn your mouth. Help mom try to see if the porridge is ready."
My mother-in-law gave me many warnings before I left, for fear that she would not be able to rob the group of women and not have enough to eat.
"Huh?" Yun Qinghuan was a little surprised, "How much gift did Xia Mei's mother receive?"
Yun Qinghuan didn't say anything, just stared at Xia Mei's leaving back for a while.
If Xia Mei really marries him in the future, life will probably be difficult and she will be asked for debts by the villagers.
The marriage between the two people has indeed been settled. No, to be precise, Xia Mei is now Lao Zhao's wife.
Already thinking about using this to cook porridge at night.
一二一.一三一.六六.一五二
When the wedding candies were scattered just now, Qiao Yue didn't even get a single one.
"I heard that Xia Mei's mother received a lot of money tonight from Lao Zhao, who was in the village and couldn't find a wife. I heard that she told Xia Mei to Lao Zhao. Xia Mei's mother didn't know what she thought. Why can't Lao Zhao be called a wife? Is it because he's too lazy to work, cheating or cheating? After so many years, he can't even build a decent house, and he still lives in the mud house that his parents left for him before they died. The straw on the roof of the house can’t cover the rain, and he doesn’t know how to repair it. He is such a lazy man, and no one who loves his daughter is willing to let her marry him.”
“Yes.” If there is meat and glutinous rice, she can also make lotus leaf, glutinous rice and meat rice dumplings, which are delicious.
“Tsk, the girls from the Xia family are so interesting. They all get pregnant out of wedlock, and they are not afraid that the girls behind them will not be able to get married.”
“I really didn’t expect that Xia Mei’s mother would decide on the marriage between Xia Mei and Lao Zhao. I’m afraid she will suffer a lot in the future.”
Yun Qinghuan was a little speechless. She also knew Lao Zhao from the village. He was a dirty bachelor. He was probably in his thirties. In other words, he had lived for more than thirty years and even the wedding gifts were everywhere. Get it this way.
After walking a few steps, she probably saw Yun Qinghuan. Her pupils shrank back with guilt, then she subconsciously gathered her clothes towards her stomach and hurried to the Xia family's yard.
Because Yun Qinghuan is now close to Jiang Wenxiu, Qiao Yue also has a good relationship with Jiang Wenxiu now.
Yun Qing smiled happily, "It looks like it's ready. Let's wait outside for now. Dinner will be served later."
"I heard it was a 100-yuan gift. Lao Zhao was borrowing money everywhere in the village two days ago. Everyone knew that if they lent him the money, they would definitely not come back. They were unwilling to lend it. I didn't expect that he was a rogue. If others If he doesn't borrow money, he will stay in someone else's house. I have no choice but to lend him a dollar or two. Everyone has been scolding him behind his back these past two days. I really didn't expect that this was just to collect money to get a wife."
In fact, you can tell at a glance that the porridge is ready. This is just an excuse for the little one to take a bite in advance.
There happened to be a lot of lotus leaves blooming by the river. When passing by the river, Yun Qinghuan picked four lotus leaves and walked forward holding them as umbrellas. "These lotus leaves are a good thing to cool down and relieve the heat. Go back You can cook it with rice to get rid of the heat, and the porridge will be more fragrant."
The next day, Jiang Wenxiu came over to tell her about Xia Mei and Lao Zhao.
The family was sitting at the dining table to eat. Because Gu Mingliang and Xia Yuhua were getting married today, Liu Yuzhi talked about Xia Mei.
“Now, let’s have a taste. Xia Yuhua’s wedding was really grand. She even gave out white-flour buns and I got three of them.” Yun Qing laughed happily.
The little guy didn't even care about how hot it was. He quickly drank the porridge into his mouth before Yun Qinghuan finished what he said. He opened his mouth because it was so hot, but he still didn't want to spit it out. After drinking, he still stared at Yun Qinghuan helplessly, obviously. Still want to drink.
Several people went back to their homes. As soon as Yun Qinghuan returned, he broke the remaining half of the big bun into two portions and gave each of the man and her mother-in-law a bite.
Yun Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled, extremely happy.
Liu Yuzhi heard her talk about the banquet. Not only did she not suffer any loss, she also brought back a big steamed bun and praised her repeatedly.
She really doesn’t know.
Yun Qinghuan saw Xia Mei after a few people came out of Xia's house. She looked even thinner, and her belly seemed to be slightly bulging around her waist.
I heard that last night, as soon as Lao Zhao gave the bride price to Xia Mei and her mother, he forcefully tied Xia Mei to his home.
It was Xia Mei and her brother who helped tie her up because Xia Mei struggled so hard.
