Chapter 161

As soon as Zhang Man'er and Xue Chuan arrived at Xue Yu's house, they heard a burst of laughter in the yard.

Two new aunts, sitting in the courtyard, help clean up the fish.

Zhang Man'er looked at the baskets of fish in the yard and was surprised.

Is it difficult for Xue Chuan to get up early today and go to the mountain to collect the fishing net? When did he get up? Didn't he get tired after working all night last night?

After shaking off her thoughts, Zhang Man'er thought that she would enrich the food in the stall and make bamboo tube rice. There are so many of them? If you can't be more busy, you can invite two more people to go up in the same amount. If your income is high, you can open a shop and run a workshop.

This side of the canned fish, aunt busy over, she did not mix.

First, he got the glutinous rice out of the bamboo tube. He thought harder and harder. He took Xue Chuan to one side and asked, "Xianggong, go and chop some bamboo."

"What does the daughter-in-law want from bamboo?" Xue Chuan is curious.

"Naturally, it's useful. The dragon boat festival dumplings are so popular, which means that people here like to eat glutinous rice. I'll follow their taste, except that I change the leaves of the dumplings into bamboo tubes, and the taste is the same." Zhang Man'er explained it patiently. As soon as he thought of the increase of varieties, the copper money rolled in, he felt it was wonderful.

Xue Chuan understood it as if he didn't understand it. The smell of glutinous rice dumplings still lingered in his heart. If bamboo tube rice had the same taste, it would sell well.

He didn't ask much, so he took a sickle from Xue Yu's family and went up the mountain. His daughter-in-law needed bamboo, so he went to chop it.

Xue Chuan went to the mountain to chop bamboo, but Zhang Man'er was not idle. He washed and soaked the little glutinous rice left by Xue Yu's family, and washed red dates, red beans and other things.

When Xue Yu moves the drained fish to the kitchen, he sees Zhang Man'er busy. Seeing that all the things she prepares are made of zongzi, she can't help wondering.

"Auntie, let me tell you something." Zhang Man'er watched her come in and said busily.

Xue Yu looked at the movement on her hand and asked, "has Xue Chuan gone to pick Zongye on the mountain? Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, some people still buy zongzi. There are not many ingredients at home. If it's done, I'm afraid there is not enough money to buy them. "

She said truthfully that she knew that Zhang Man'er didn't have much money after she bought the ox cart, and the money in her hand was not enough to buy these ingredients after she paid the stall fee. She thought it would be easier to make canned fish.

"Aunt, after the Dragon Boat Festival, there is no new idea in making zongzi. If it can't be sold, it will be ugly in my hand. I figured out a kind of bamboo tube rice. The ingredients are the same as those of zongzi, the taste is the same, and the cooking method is the same, that is, I changed the leaves into bamboo tubes." Zhang Man'er said.

"Bamboo rice? The taste is the same as that of zongzi. It's really nice. " Xue Yu's eyes are bright with expectation.

Zhang Man'er covers her mouth and laughs. When she does it, I believe that she will fall in love with her.

She blinked her eyes and sold a small pass: "well, I think zongzi is popular with so many people, so it has evolved into bamboo tube rice. After Xue Chuan cuts the bamboo back, I will try to make a batch of Ming ones to sell in the town. If it is feasible, we will make more later."

When Xue Yu heard that this was a good thing, he thumbed up and said, "Man'er, you are really smart."

Zhang Man'er pursed her lips. She just used the identity of the traveler to add the golden finger.

When it comes to intelligence, the ancients were not stupid. Just like Xue Chuan, he was quiet and wise, with a dark stomach.

In different environments, you will experience different things.

It's a waste of talent for Xue Chuan to be a ruffian in the mountains.

She just thought of Xue Chuan, and Xue Chuan came.

The two aunts in the yard, seeing Zhang Man'er come out, greet her friendly. When they hear that she is going to make a new meal, they all look forward to it.

Zhang Man'er looked at the bamboo in the yard and motioned to Xue Chuan to cut it into sections.

Pay attention when cutting. There should be two knots in one section.

After cutting this one, there are more than ten solid sections, and those hollow ones can't be used.

Cut off an oval hole on the surface of each bamboo tube with a knife, put in the washed glutinous rice, red dates and mung beans, and cover the hole with the bamboo slice.

There were not many ingredients at home, but Zhang Man'er made three flavors. The main ingredients were glutinous rice, egg and vegetable, meat, clove and mushroom, and red dates and red beans. He made eight bamboo tube rice and steamed them in the pot.

Xue Chuan took a hand and set the stove on fire. Before long, the smell of fragrance diffused from the kitchen, which made the two aunts working outside sniff and greedy.

"It smells good."

"I don't know what's so fragrant?"

"Didn't Xue's daughter-in-law just say she was making new food?" Two aunts murmur, let Xue Yu more a heart.

Seeing that the fish were almost cleaned up, they settled the wages for them. According to the cost of killing fish, each of them took more than 20 Wen.

This is just a morning to earn more than 20 Wen, two aunts happily touching the coppers smile: "Xue Yu, then we go back, come back tomorrow to help."

Xue Yu nodded: "OK, take your time."

After seeing them off, she went back to the room and saw little stones dancing around the stove like monkeys. Her black eyes kept looking at the steaming pot: "aunt, what are you doing? It's delicious. I can smell it all the way."

This aunt is not only beautiful, the food is very delicious, what zongzi, canned fish, salted duck eggs, he has eaten, the taste of delicious let him never forget.

"Well, I've kept you waiting. Let's have this for lunch." Zhang Man'er motioned to them to wash the handle, and then said, "Xue Chuan, don't add firewood to the fire in the oven hole. It's just a sporadic fire."

See him nod, is also a face looking forward to her.

Zhang Man'er has a great sense of accomplishment. He lifts the lid of the pot and puts the bamboo rice on the table with a cloth towel.

When eight bamboo tubes were put on the table, several people gathered around the table and looked at the bamboo tube. The color of the bamboo tube changed from green to light yellow. When Zhang Man'er opened the piece of bamboo, the strong fragrance came to his face.

Glutinous rice wrapped in a variety of small grains of food, it seems to make people move their fingers.

Zhang Man'er looked at their drooling appearance, but he still didn't start. He said with a laugh: "open to eat, what are you doing? Have a taste. "

As soon as the words came out, I saw a few people scrambling.

Xue Chuan picked up his chopsticks and took a few mouthfuls: "daughter in law, my meat clove mushroom tastes delicious."

"Me, too. I said the mushrooms on the mountain taste good after drying." Zhang Man'er raised the corner of his mouth and had two bamboo tubes for lunch, which could almost fill his stomach.
