Chapter 39
The moonlit night was hazy and the wind was bitterly cold.

After a big pot of rice porridge in the afternoon.

The first phase of disaster relief has basically come to an end.

As for the second stage, the third stage.

Gabriel has also entrusted all of him to the Wujingmen of Soldiers.

The fifth Jingmenna of the Bingzhi has also received all the money on his body and the plan on how to resettle the refugees.

Thinking about work, Gabriel could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the mayor and Bing Zhiwu Jingmen were easy to talk to, otherwise tomorrow would be another busy day.

"Huh..." Gabriel exhaled heavily and walked back to Jiuli Daming Mansion.

Yizang followed behind.

At this time, Yizang no longer had the suspicion and doubts that he had in the afternoon, and his face was full of admiration.

This little guy used a method beyond their imagination to do something that they couldn't accomplish.

Gabriel and Yizang returned to Jiuli Daming Mansion against the biting cold wind.

The faint candlelight flickered on the second floor of the Nine-Mile Daming Mansion.

Seeing this, Yizang couldn't help but look happy.

Could it be that Oda-sama is back?

With such longing thoughts, Yizang quickened his pace and rushed back to Nine Li Daming Mansion.

Enter the Daming Mansion and quickly walk to the second floor.

When the candlelight flickered, Yizang pushed the door open and entered.

In the house, the cat Viper, Inuarashi, and Hematsu were lying on the ground, and some people came and looked up.

Hidden cat Viper was overjoyed when he saw the person coming.

"Meow..." Cat Viper stretched out his hand to say hello.

Yizang looked at the three people lying in the house, but he couldn't help but a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.

I thought Oda-sama was back...

"Izang Da..."

Just when Yizang was lost, Mao Viper opened his mouth, wanting to let Yizang get some food.

Yi Zang didn't pay attention to these people, and directly interrupted what Mao Viper was about to say.

"Have you seen Lord Mita?" Yizang calmed down and forced a laugh.

Listening to Yizang's question, Mao Viper shook his head.

"No, no, Meow hasn't seen it for a day."

"Is that so?" Although he had a conclusion in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when he heard it.

"Okay, go to bed early." Yizang said, turned and left.

"Brother Yizang..."

Seeing that Yizang wanted to leave, Mao Viper hurried over and called to stop.

It's a pity that Yizang's footsteps were too fast, and he didn't wait for Mao Viper to walk out of the door.

Yizang has disappeared.

"Did you go away?" Cat Viper couldn't help regretting seeing no one at the door.

I knew it was just said earlier.

Just when the cat viper was lost, he heard movement beside the stairs.

Thinking that Yizang hadn't gone far, Cat Viper hurriedly chased after him.

At the corner of the stairs, Mao Viper saw an invisible figure.

I thought it was hidden just now.

The cat viper wanted to chase after it.

Just as he was about to go down, that figure came up inexplicably.

Hit a cat viper at a loss.

"boom"

With a loud noise, the two collided.

The cat viper fell directly to the ground.

"Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain..."

Cat Viper covered his forehead and kept yelling.

Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Looking at it like this, the impact did inflict a lot of damage on the cat viper.

"What are you doing, Cat Viper?"

Just as the cat viper was howling on the ground, a familiar voice wanted to go.

Cat Viper endured the pain and looked up.

I saw Gabriel standing in front of him at some point, his forehead looked red and swollen for some reason.

"My good brother is you! Meow has been looking for you for a long time!" The moment he saw Gabriel, Mao Viper stood up directly.

"What are you doing? Do you know that it's dangerous to rush out suddenly?" Gabriel said angrily while clutching his red and swollen forehead.

"Isn't it exciting to see you coming here, my good brother, meow, meow." The cat viper laughed heartlessly.

"What do you want from me? You are so anxious." Gabriel touched his forehead and said.

"My good brother is like this. Meow hasn't eaten for a day. For the sake of my good brother and your good brother, can you get me something to eat?" Mao Viper laughed.

"Kin'emon and the others, didn't they get you something to eat?" Gabriel frowned and asked in doubt when he heard this.

"Don't mention it, Brother Jinweimen and the others don't know where they went. I just saw Brother Izo, and I haven't said a few words to him, so I don't know where he went." Everyone, the cat viper is having a headache.

These people disappeared, and no one got food from them.

"Is that so?" Listening to Mao Viper's talk, and thinking about the anomalies that have happened since today, Gabriel roughly understood what those people were doing.

"Let's talk, you guys didn't eat, I made it for you." Gabriel sighed.

"Really?" Hearing what Gabriel said, Mao Viper's eyes lit up.

"Do you think it's necessary for me to lie to you?" Gabriel shook his head helplessly and said.

"Meow and Inulan, He Song hasn't eaten all day." Cat Viper said, waving his cat's paw.

"Is that so..." Hearing these numbers, Gabriel wasn't surprised at all.

These numbers were exactly as he had guessed.

"Go back and wait, and I'll bring it to you when I'm done." Gabriel said, walking towards the kitchen.

"Good brother, thank you very much!" Cat Viper waved his cat's paw to say goodbye.

Gabriel walked across the second floor to the kitchen.

Retrieve the torch from the table and light the candles in the kitchen.

The dim light instantly illuminated the entire room.

All the items in the room are instantly visible.

Check out the cabinets that are usually stocked with meat.

turn on.

Found only a small amount of fish balls inside besides some minced meat.

Open the wooden board next to the vegetables.

The boards were found to be empty.

Vegetables are long gone.

"This..." Looking at the missing meat and vegetables, the corners of Gabriel's mouth twitched.

There is nothing like this.

Looking at the rice vat next to him, Gabriel couldn't help but sighed.

Just hope, and rice.

Otherwise, Cat Viper and the others would have to starve today.

Slowly lift the lid of the rice jar.

Looking at the inside of the rice jar, Gabriel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although there are no vegetables and meat, there is half a tank of rice.

Although there is rice.

But another problem lay in front of Gabriel.

That is, what kind of dish can be made with just this little minced meat and fish balls.

Gabriel rubbed his chin and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After thinking about it, Gabriel had a flash of inspiration.

He thought of a brilliant thing.

Only a handful of fish balls, minced meat and rice are needed to make it delicious.

Zongzi!

Meets all these requirements.

After thinking about what to do, Gabriel immediately started to do it.

Put the lid on the rice bowl aside and pick up the bowl next to it.

Scoop out two large bowls and soak in water.

Immediately, he picked up a large bowl and took out all the fish balls and minced meat from the wooden cabinet.

Use the palm of your hand to repeatedly crush the fish balls and minced meat until they are crushed into a meat paste.

After the meat paste is rolled, the soaked rice is poured into the meat paste.

Stir repeatedly until the meat puree and rice are fully combined.

Add a little sea salt to taste.

The low-profile version of Zongzi is almost complete.

Gabriel didn't think too much about Ye Zi's words.

Randomly picked a few larger leaves from outside.

Clean the leaves and then simply wrap them up.

However, Gabriel is not a professional in wrapping zongzi.

The dumplings made by Gabriel only pay attention to one word, round.

Poke the zongzi into a circle, fix them with leaves, and tie them with string.

Zongzi has been issued scale.

Add half a pot of water to the pot, and put it on the pot with the steam grid.

Zongzi is placed on the steaming grid.

Cover the pot.

Add firewood to the stove and ignite it with a torch.

In this way, the general process of making zongzi has been completed.

At this point, you just need to wait for the rice dumplings to be cooked.

The fire kept burning.

White smoke rose up the chimney.

"Hoo, hoo, hooah."

The lid made a "hula, hula" sound.

The rice dumplings in the pot are basically cooked.

When the lid was lifted, a huge stream of water vapor visible to the naked eye spread upward.

Gabriel only felt a burst of heat on his forehead.

"It seems to be all right." Gabriel took out a chopstick and poked it.

Feeling the Q soft elasticity, I couldn't help but nodded.

Use chopsticks to pick out the zongzi one by one.

Open one of them.

Round zongzi appeared in front of Gabriel.

Divide the dumplings into two with chopsticks.

Pick up a piece in the center, blow a blow in front of the entrance and put it in the mouth.

A rice with the fragrance of leaves mixed with the taste of pureed meat echoed in Gabriel's mouth.

There are advantages and disadvantages.

Since there is no glutinous rice in the rice, this zongzi tastes rather dry.

There is no sticky and Q-bomb like glutinous rice.

Overall it's ok.

Scrape out the zongzi, put three of them in water to cool, and put the remaining six in a bowl.

Zongzi is finished.

Gabriel separated the uncooled and cooled zongzi into bowls.

One is from Nekomushi, and the other is from Inuarashi and Kawamatsu.

After separating the food between the two, Gabriel hurriedly brought it up.

Reach the house on the second floor.

Cat Viper and the others have been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Gabriel coming, the cat viper ran over first.

"Meow! Brother, what is this?" Looking at the bulging object in Gabriel's hand, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"This is zongzi, a rare good thing." Gabriel responded by placing two large bowls on the floor.

"Zongzi? What a strange name." Cat Viper couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the name.

He had never heard of such a thing.

Grab one on hand and want to taste it.

"It's hot, it's hot, it's hot."

As soon as he picked up a zongzi and put it on his hand, the cat viper felt a burst of burning heat.

The two hands flipped over and over again, and the zongzi swayed back and forth on the two hands of the cat viper.

Finally, the cat viper stabilized his trembling hands and put the zongzi back into the bowl.

"This is yours." Seeing the cat viper's appearance, Gabriel couldn't help laughing, and then handed the cooled zongzi to the cat viper.

"Good brother, you should have said it earlier." Cat Viper looked at the rice dumpling in front of him and couldn't help but complain.

"Who made you so anxious." Gabriel shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, come over and have a taste too, the freshly baked rice dumplings taste pretty good." Gabriel shouted looking at Inuarashi and Hematsu next to him.

Inuarashi, Kawamatsu didn't intend to be polite anymore when he heard Gabriel shouting, and came over.

"Then we will not be polite." Inulan and Hematsu shouted at the same time.

"Well, it's okay, you can eat." Gabriel waved his hand and said.

"Thank you for the hospitality." Inulan and He Song said, stuffing the zongzi into their mouths.

"It tastes so strange." He Song had a weird expression while eating the rice dumpling in his hand.

Even after eating so much food, this was the first time he encountered such a weird thing.

The dry taste of the leaves is mixed with the aroma of rice, and the rice has a refreshing feeling of pureed meat.

Weird, weird, really weird.

"Well, to eat this thing, you have to tear off the outer leaves." Gabriel pointed to the outer leaves of the rice dumpling and said.

"Oh, is that so?" Quan Lan and He Song suddenly realized.

No wonder it tasted so weird, it turned out that the way I opened it was wrong.

Tear off the wrapped leaves, and the two of them took another bite.

This time the taste was significantly better than before.

The dry feeling disappeared and replaced by the sweet aftertaste of rice.

"Okay, eat slowly, I'll go back first."

"Brother, where are you going?" Cat Viper hurriedly asked Gabriel when he saw that Gabriel was about to leave.

"Go back to sleep, I've been busy all day and I'm very sleepy." Gabriel said with a sigh.

"Is that so, good brother go all the way!" Mao Viper said, waving the cat's paw.

"That's it, you just put the bowls in the kitchen after eating." Gabriel said, turned and left.
