Chapter 155 The Benchmark of Naye Village

 Throughout April, Deng Shirong was mainly busy with two things:

 The first was to build the water wall and the surrounding wall at home, and the second was to demolish the old house.

After Deng Shirong's family built the water wall and the surrounding wall, the villagers were filled with envy when they saw it.

 Because after the water wall and the surrounding wall were built, the house of Deng Shirong's family became much more beautiful.

Especially on the water wall and the fence, Deng Shirong also hired people to build exquisite wooden guardrails, which look even more beautiful.

If Deng Shirong hired people to build water walls and fences and was envied by the villagers, then when he hired people to demolish old houses, everyone would not understand.

This house is good, why should it be demolished?

Even if no one can live in it, why not keep it as a firewood house?

Therefore, her method of wrapping ancient rice dumplings is very skillful. She first wraps rice dumplings into a shape like a figure 8, and then adds an appropriate amount of glutinous rice soaked in alkaline water and seasoned to both ends of the figure 8. , put two pieces of pig bean sprouts, put a piece of pork in it, then close it, wrap it tightly with the remaining agarwood leaves, and then tie it with bamboo strips.

After receiving the news, the Deng family in Naye Village panicked. They celebrated the festival in advance on the fourth day of May, packed up their things and ran away.

 Hearing Deng Shirong's answer, everyone understood.

Or can't we just keep raising chickens and ducks?

 At this time, Deng Shirong took his eldest daughter and his eldest daughter-in-law to make ancient rice dumplings together.

Of course, they are both salty rice dumplings, but they use different ingredients, so the taste of the dumplings is also very different. Some salty rice dumplings taste so good that you can't stop eating them, while some salty rice dumplings taste so bad that you can't stop eating them after the first bite. Once you take one bite, you won't want to take another bite.

When Zhang Xiuping was in her natal family, as the only daughter, she was naturally the main force in Baogu Zongzhen, and her skills were no worse than those of her sister-in-law.

 In the Shuangwang realm, in addition to glutinous rice and pork, there is another thing that is indispensable for making rice dumplings, which is what the locals call pig malou, as shown in the picture below:

This leaf is a natural spice with a very special fragrance. It is a perfect match when used to make rice dumplings and mixed with meat. It tastes fragrant.

At that time, someone couldn't help but ask: "Jiu Gong, this old house is good, why should it be demolished?"

After cutting the leaves, you need to peel off the thorns on both sides, and then dry them in the sun. When the leaves are soft, you can roll them into **** and put them in a pot for cooking. The cooked leaves can be said to be very tough. It is not easy to rot and is better than many rice dumpling leaves for making rice dumplings.

In 1914, Long Sanba, with the support of the bandit leader Chong Zongfu, recruited more than 150 gangsters and habitual bandits, bought 45 guns and 5 horses, and started to be a bandit, from Yulin in the north to Baisha, Hepu in the south, committing murder, arson, and robbery. He was the most influential bandit in the history of Shuangwang Realm.

In later generations, every Dragon Boat Festival, rice dumplings would set off a "salty-sweet dispute" that spread across the Internet. For many years, the sweet party and the salty party could not convince anyone.

Zhang Xiuping has been pregnant for more than three months, so she no longer needs to be carefully protected as before. It won't affect anything if she sits down and wraps up the ancient rice dumplings.

The three of them were chatting while wrapping ancient rice dumplings.

On the third day of May, the entire Naye village began to be busy making rice dumplings, because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival of the Naye Deng family.

Deng Yunzhen learned how to make ancient rice dumplings from her mother when she was still alive. A few years after her mother passed away, she made all the ancient rice dumplings at home by herself. She didn't know how to season them, so she asked her neighbors Just to help.

Especially when the house at home is not as good as the old house of Deng Shirong's family, I feel even more uncomfortable. It's like others are not full, but Deng Shirong uses the leftovers to eat. It's really exciting. .

 In this way, an ancient rice dumpling is wrapped.

Now, Deng Shirong's family has become the benchmark for the entire Naye Village and the goal for the whole village to strive for.

 The south is salty and the north is sweet. Guangxi belongs to the south of the south, so rice dumplings are naturally salty.

  Boiled together with the leaves of the rice cake, there are also bamboo strips cut in advance, which are used to tie the rice dumplings.

 After demolishing the old house, the new house has a wider view and looks more beautiful and majestic.

 When he started to make the rice dumplings, Deng Yunzhen looked at the large pot of marinated pork and said while inhaling: "Dad, you marinated the pork so well. This year's ancient rice dumplings must be much more delicious than before."

Zhang Xiuping also nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, the smell of this pork is so strong when it is still raw. When it is wrapped in ancient rice dumplings, the smell will definitely be very fragrant."

If you can build your own drying ground, it will be very convenient if you want to dry things.

 At the end of April, people throughout the Shuangwang realm began to cut the leaves of the ancient leaves in preparation for making rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Then, Deng Yunzhen picked up the scissors and cut off the tail of the Zongzhi leaf. This was a small mark used to distinguish whether the meat inside the Zongzhen was fat or thin.

As the leader of the bandits in southern Bobai, Long Sanba could not afford to lose such face. After returning home, he spread the word that the Dragon Boat Festival would come and massacre Naye Village.

 So, from that time on, the Nayedeng family has always celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival one day earlier than the people across the country.

 Everyone knows that the Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of May, but the Dragon Boat Festival held by Nayedeng family falls on the fourth day of May, which can be said to be the only one in the country. The reason for this situation is that during the Republic of China, the great bandit Long Sanba appeared in Shuangwang territory.

Especially when drying grain, people always go to the grain drying field early to grab a seat.

One year, Long Sanba led 35 gangsters back from a robbery. When passing by Naye Village, he saw the cattle and wanted to take the sheep. However, he was discovered by the village team and immediately opened fire, killing more than 10 of Long Sanba's men. Gangster, let him run away.

By the time all of this is done, it's already May.

Of course, Deng Shirong couldn't say that the old house looked unsightly when blocked in front of the new one. Instead, he smiled and replied: “I want to build a grain-drying field in front of my house.”

 Originally, Deng Shirong's house was the most beautiful house in the countryside in this era. After everything was done, it became even more beautiful.

Deng Shirong started to wrap it and said with a smile: "Actually, the pork has been marinated, and it tastes delicious when stewed directly. But when it is wrapped in ancient rice dumplings, it will become even more delicious after absorbing the aroma of pig, garlic and glutinous rice. tasty."

Because no matter in this era or in later generations, there are always people who cannot eat fat meat. In order not to waste the fat inside the ancient rice dumplings, it is natural to mark them so that people who do not eat fat meat should not take the ancient rice dumplings with fat meat. .

Deng Shirong also planted red flowers and moonflowers as embellishments between the water wall and the fence. At the same time, he asked someone to harden the more than an acre of open space with lime cement.

 In this era, rural people all farmed the fields, and the importance of the grain drying field was undoubted. Although the production team already had a large grain drying field, it would still be a bit crowded if so many households in the village used it together.

Hence, knowing that Deng Shirong wanted to build a grain drying field in front of his home, his neighbors couldn't help but be secretly happy. If the grain drying field was really completed, their neighbors would also benefit.

The three of them worked together and wrapped up all the ancient rice dumplings in just over half an hour!

 The next step is to cook it in the pot.

Unlike other places where it only takes a few hours to cook, the ancient rice dumplings in Shuangwang Realm need to be cooked for ten to eight hours. The glutinous rice inside must be cooked until no grains can be seen and all stick together. The texture is That's what's truly delicious.
