Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 31 Lantern Festival (Part 2)

It turned out that he had come back and handed over the green and red silk he bought, one tael of candied dates given by his fifth sister-in-law, and the remaining two copper coins to Zhou.

Zhou praised Wulang, gave him a candied date, and took the copper coin back.

When Wulang saw Xia Daohua, he wanted to give her candied dates to eat.

Xia Daohua glanced at the drooling Linghua, spread out the pine nuts in her hand to Wulang, and refused with a smile: "You can eat it yourself! If you don't want to eat it, you can give it to Linghua. I still have this!"

"

Wulang looked at the eager Linghua and gave her the candied dates to eat.

Linghua was so happy that she smiled, and her two big round eyes narrowed, forming two crescent moons: "Brother, you are so kind!"

Mr. Xia installed the lantern pole and took the children into the house.

Every room at the end of the Xia family also lit up oil lamps.

Speaking of which, because of the rule of "be bright and bright during the New Year", the Xia family spent more on this in the first month of the year than in a normal year.

At this moment, Mr. Zhou, her daughter-in-law, and several older grandchildren were gathering in the large kitchen.

With a happy face, Mrs. Zhou directed her daughters-in-law to crush pine nuts and sunflower seeds, cut green and red silk into thin pieces, and cut candied dates into thin dices.

Then mix these ingredients with brown sugar and sesame seeds, stir evenly, and make the filling for Yuanxiao.

She also took matters into her own hands and packed the millet noodles and glutinous rice noodles brought back by Erlang into two huge baskets.

A large pot of Yuanxiao stuffing has been kneaded into round balls by the skillful daughters-in-law, almost all of the same size.

Then pour the fillings of these round "balls" into the basket.

He picked up the bamboo basket and shook it back and forth, left and right, extremely violently.

Xia Daohua had only seen the scene of making Lantern Festival on TV in her previous life, but this time she saw the live version.

Soon, she discovered that Mr. Zhou was sweating.

After all, as you age, no matter how strong your body is, you will inevitably feel a little tired when doing such physical work.

Mrs. Zhou didn't show any restraint and directly handed the basket to Mrs. Jiang who was closest to her at the moment.

Mrs. Jiang happily took the basket, held both ends of the basket, and shook it vigorously.

Thin powder is wrapped layer by layer on the Yuanxiao stuffing, and the white and plump Yuanxiao rolls around in the basket, lively and cute.

Soon, each Yuanxiao in the basket was rolled. Mrs. Zhou took out the long chopsticks to pick them out, put another wave of stuffing, and called the third daughter-in-law to replace Mrs. Jiang.

This work of swinging the bamboo basket requires not only the strength of the arms, but also some skill to prevent the dumplings from being thrown outside.

Several daughters-in-law consciously took turns taking turns, shaking one batch of Lantern Festivals before moving on to the next batch.

During this period, Xia Daohua still wanted to try it.

It turned out that she couldn't even lift the basket, let alone shake it!

This small body is really too weak!

The water in the cauldron is boiling.

The first batch of Lantern Festival was cooked.

The fat white Yuanxiao rolled with the boiling water. Soon the clear water turned into a light white, and then became thicker and thicker.

The aroma of glutinous rice and fillings gradually began to rise, and several children were already nibbling their fingers.

Mrs. Zhou waved her hand, and Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Jiang went to set the table.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Cheng started to pick up the dishes.

Mrs. Zhou personally took a long-handled wooden spoon and put Yuanxiao into bowls from the pot. Put six Yuanxiao in each bowl and poured a large spoonful of soup on it. It looked steaming hot, smelled fragrant and full of fireworks.

.

The children obediently ran to the table and sat around it. The older children helped clean the table, set the chopsticks, and get the side dishes.

Mr. Xia and his sons were already sitting at the table, waiting to eat Yuanxiao.

Soon, the first wave of cooked Yuanxiao was served.

Mr. Xia didn't move his chopsticks, he wanted to wait for Mrs. Zhou to eat together.

Mr. Zhou didn't keep Mr. Xia waiting for too long, and soon everyone was on the table.

Mr. Xia picked up a small wine cup, took a sip of wine, and let out a "huh" sound from the spicy taste.

He put the wine glass down heavily, and the wine cup fell on the table with a loud "bang" sound.

The room instantly became quiet.

Mr. Xia wetted his eyes with emotion:

"Today is the Lantern Festival, and everyone is reunited and eating Lantern Festival together happily.

What a wonderful day like this.

Although our old Xia family is divided, I hope from the bottom of my heart that you, my brothers, will not become estranged from each other. We can be more intimate with each other on weekdays, and we can support each other when things happen.

Okay, I won’t say any more, let’s all eat Yuanxiao!”

Zhou also said two things:

"After eating the Lantern Festival, let's all go to the town to watch the lanterns! I heard that this year there will be a lantern fair in the town and there will be floats parading through the streets!"

The children cheered: "Okay!"

One by one, they endured the heat and ate Yuanxiao as fast as they could.

The children, pear blossom, plum blossom, orchid, rice blossom, chrysanthemum, Wulang, Liulang, Linghua, and Zaohua, sat at a small square table. I heard that they could watch the lanterns at night, and the children couldn't help but get excited.

While devouring the Lantern Festival, I didn’t forget to chat and laugh.

Xia Daohua didn't know why, she just felt her eyelids twitching wildly.

She quietly dipped her fingers in water and stroked it several times, but it still couldn't calm down.

Xia Daohua couldn't help but feel a little worried, always feeling that this sign was not good.

Could it be that when I go to town later, I'll encounter some nasty things? Could it be that I'll encounter human traffickers?

Xia Daohua was shocked by this possibility.

There are quite a few children in Lao Xia's family. If I really meet a kidnapper, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of this but not that!

She was thinking about how to prevent it when she heard a loud "bang".

When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was Rokuro who had choked on the Yuanxiao for some reason. The sound just now was that Rokuro had knocked over his bowl.

The children at the same table were also startled. They were stunned for a moment, but now they all came back to their senses. Suddenly there was a sound of gasping, crying, and shouting all around. How could it be a messed up word!

Seeing Liulang choked and unable to breathe, hunched over and struggling, grabbing with both hands, and even his face changed, Xia Daohua suddenly forgot everything.

She rushed forward with a "swish", stood up in a lunge, hugged Rokuro from behind, put Rokuro on the leg in front of her, wrapped her hands around Rokuro's body, made a fist from the front, and suddenly punched him,

Hit Mukuro hard in the abdomen.

The yuanxiao that Rokuro couldn't get up or down from his throat rushed out with a "pop".

Accompanied by a cough and a lot of snot and tears, Rokuro couldn't help but burst into tears - he finally regained his breath.

Xia Daohua couldn't help but wipe her forehead, which was wet, and wiped a hand with water.

Alas, this little body is really too weak.

I did the Heimlich maneuver, and I was so exhausted that I was sweating profusely!
