Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy
Chapter 38: Quarrel Again
The dumplings were almost wrapped and time to put them into the pot. Everyone in the yard worked together and quickly put the wrapped dumplings into three large pots, then started a fire with firewood.
After putting the rice dumplings in, you should also place a large basin on top of them. The reason for doing this is to prevent the rice dumplings in the pot from rolling too violently after the water in the pot boils, which would make the rice dumplings fall apart.
Under the scorching fire, the big pot began to steam in a short while, and the unique sweet smell of glutinous rice soon filled the entire courtyard.
The aroma of the rice dumplings was so tempting that the children stopped running and gathered around the big pots, staring at the steaming pots and absorbing the glutinous rice aroma in the air with their noses. They began to get anxious and couldn't wait for the rice dumplings to come out of the pot.
The adults could not wait any longer. The temptation of food was so unbearable. Saliva kept flowing in their mouths. They could only chat nonsense with the people around them to distract themselves a little and let their anxious stomachs feel a little more relaxed.
Zhang Jialiang saw that the rice dumplings were already cooked, then he winked at his fifth sister and went home.
After seeing the look in her third brother's eyes, Zhang Jiamei also raised her foot and followed Zhang Jialiang back to their home.
"Fifth sister, have you learned how to make rice dumplings? I see you are already very skilled."
“No problem, I have learned all the steps from Third Brother, and our glutinous rice has been soaked, so I will start making zongzi in the afternoon.
We not only have glutinous rice, but also red beans and big red dates. The food we make will definitely taste much better than the ones made in the compound, and the quantity is enough for us to have two meals."
Zhang Jialiang walked into the kitchen, took out the goose and a dozen goose eggs from the corner and gave them to his fifth sister.
"This is a wild goose. I happened to see it when I was picking reed leaves. I was very lucky and I shot it down with my slingshot.
There are quite a few goose eggs in its nest. This goose weighs about ten pounds and the eggs are also quite big.
Tonight, you stew the wild goose and fry some wild goose eggs. We'll have a good meal today, is that ok?"
When Zhang Jiamei saw the wild goose and a bag of goose eggs in her third brother's hands, she was stunned.
This wild goose is so fat and big that it can be as big as two or three hens. It would be so delicious if it were stewed into a pot of meat. And these goose eggs are really big, bigger than duck eggs. Two eggs can make a plate of scrambled eggs.
The thought of having goose stewed in an iron pot, fried goose eggs, and delicious rice dumplings in the evening was too much for her to accept. There were too many delicious foods today. It felt like they were even better than what she had eaten during the Chinese New Year.
When did their family have such days?
After thinking about it carefully, she realized that all this was because of her third brother. Ever since he learned how to hunt, their family's food had become better and better, and she felt so happy as long as there was something delicious. She had never dreamed of such a day before.
"Okay, Third Brother, this wild goose is really fat!
This wild goose egg is so big!
I have to figure out how to stew the wild geese to make them taste better.
Third brother, you are so awesome. You can shoot a wild goose while picking reed leaves!
I don’t obey anyone now, but you!”
"You are not convinced by me, you are convinced by the delicious food. I don't know you, you only think about how to eat all day long.
But it’s good, because you are at home, I don’t have to worry about cooking. Otherwise, even if I have good things, it’s useless if I can’t make good dishes!”
When Zhang Jiamei heard her third brother praising her cooking skills, she grinned with joy and her eyes curved into crescents.
The family soon learned that Zhang Jialiang had brought back a wild goose and a dozen goose eggs, plus the ingredients they had prepared for making zongzi, so the whole family couldn't help but feel happy.
Although I have eaten meat a few times recently because of Zhang Jialiang, it has never been so sumptuous. This Dragon Boat Festival is really great.
After being happy for a while, the fifth sister went out of the house to the courtyard. The rice dumplings in the big pot were almost cooked and it was time to share them. There were nine people in their family, and each person had two rice dumplings, so a total of 18 rice dumplings could be shared.
But soon after, I heard a quarrel in the courtyard. Fifth sister came back carrying their family's rice dumplings. As soon as she entered the door, she started yelling:
"Oh no! The people in the compound are quarreling!"
"What's going on? Why are you arguing?"
The food at home was ready, and they were just waiting for Zongzi to come back to eat together. They also heard the noisy sounds in the yard, but for some reason, they suddenly heard Lao Wu's yelling, and Wang Shujuan began to ask.
“It’s still because of the Jia family. Jia Zhang is too cunning!
Each family had two dumplings for each person. Jia Zhang deliberately made a few particularly large dumplings. After they were cooked, she picked out the large dumplings and put them into the large basin in their home.
At first, everyone was busy and didn't pay attention, but the sharp-eyed third aunt saw the rice dumplings in Jia Zhang's big basin. They were so big that one could replace three.
The third aunt was not happy about it. She thought that Jia Zhang's family was taking advantage of everyone and that it was too much. Everyone was at a disadvantage. She did not allow Jia Zhang to take the baby away. Of course, Jia Zhang was unwilling and started to make a scene.
When Zhang Jialiang heard this, he realized that wherever Jia Zhang was, there would be conflicts. She was always able to do some dirty things. The key was that she was not afraid of being embarrassed, and when she threw a tantrum, no one could do anything to her.
But Third Aunt is not someone who will suffer a loss. She has lived with Third Uncle for so many years and has long learned the calculations that he is best at. She would definitely not let Jia Zhang take such a big advantage, so isn't that why she made a fuss?
However, Zhang Jialiang will not participate in this matter. It has nothing to do with their family. He will just watch the fun.
It depends on how the three uncles handle this matter. This time, the third uncle's family and Jia Zhang and others are in trouble. Let's see how Yi Zhonghai handles it.
"You guys eat first, I'll go take a look, it's okay, it has nothing to do with our family."
After saying this, Zhang Jialiang quickly walked towards the central court.
"This is our family's rice dumplings, no one is allowed to steal them!"
After Zhang Jialiang arrived at the middle courtyard, he saw Jia Zhang holding a large rice bowl tightly, which contained several large rice dumplings.
Wow, that zongzi is really big. One is at least as big as three ordinary zongzi. I don’t know how Jia Zhangshi wrapped it. She was able to make the zongzi so big with the same zongzi leaves.
It seems that all her intelligence and talent are used in such strange and bizarre ways, and she can always do things that other ordinary people cannot do.
