69. Youth League

There is a piece of wild mugwort growing beside the stream next to the fruit forest. Mugwort is an edible wild vegetable.When the buds first appeared in spring in previous years, Ye Huangui would pick some and fry them.It tastes fragrant and has a bit of bitterness. When you get angry, eat a plate of mugwort, and the anger will disappear immediately.

He was not at home this spring, and the mugwort by the river was empty.A few days ago, Uncle Fu asked him to cut a few handfuls of mugwort to feed the rabbits, and the mugwort that had been cut in a few days came out again.

What Ye Huangui wanted to pick were these freshly sprouted mugwort, which were fresh and tender, and tasted lightly bitter.The color of mugwort is emerald green, and the leaves are similar to those of chrysanthemums, but the back of the leaves is silver.After pinching mugwort, the smell of mugwort leaves can stay on your fingers for a long time.

Ye Huangui picked half a basket of mugwort buds, and it was purely his luck to have such fresh mugwort in this season.

After the mugwort sprouts were washed in water, Ye Huangui poured them into a pot of boiling water. After adding a little salt to the pot and cooking for a while, the mugwort sprouts became soft and rotten.Ye Huangui picked up the mugwort and passed it through the cold water, the clear water immediately turned into a beautiful green color.

After the temperature of the mugwort dropped, he kneaded the mugwort into balls.Half of the basket of mugwort only scalded five fist-sized dumplings, and Ye Huangui put the mugwort dumplings on the chopping board and chopped them into fine pieces.The dark green juice smeared on the chopping board, and the wormwood was chopped with a kitchen knife to produce a rich juice, which was what Ye Huangui wanted.

He put the chopped mugwort into the gauze, squeezed it hard, and the dark green juice stained the gauze green, and fell into the big bowl he had prepared long ago.After a while, Ye Huangui got half a bowl of dark green pure wormwood juice that exudes a fragrance.

With the wormwood juice, the next step is to knead the glutinous rice dough.If the Qingtuan wants a good taste, it is best to use glutinous rice flour. If you want a beautiful color, you should add some Chengfen to it.The so-called Chengfen is the starch left after the gluten has been removed from ordinary flour.

Ye Huangui usually likes to tinker with food, and he can often find some strange ingredients at home.He went to the storage room to look for it, and after a while, he brought out a small half bag of Chengfen.

When passing by the door of the room, he subconsciously looked at the closed door.He didn't know what happened to Fu Bo and Lao Tan inside, but he really wanted to go in and have a look.But he also knew that not only would he not be of much help, but he would also destroy Forber's concentration.

Forget it, he should focus on the Youth League,

Ye Huangui has a small scale at home, which can weigh up to five catties.There are some fine dots engraved on the ancient scale beams, each small grid represents one tael, and one large grid has ten small grids, which represents one catty.

He took a large bowl and put it on the weighing pan. After deducting the weight of the large bowl, he weighed the wormwood juice.

It is very important to make dim sum recipes. Some ingredients are more or less, and the tastes are very different.Just like now, there is a catty of wormwood juice in a big bowl.According to the ratio, one catty of wormwood juice can knead one catty two taels of glutinous rice flour, and four taels of Chengfen is added to it.

He weighed four liang of Chengfen and one catty of two liang of glutinous rice flour.The color of Chengfen and glutinous rice flour is white, but you can still see the difference when you look closely.Glutinous rice has a smoother texture, while Chengfen has a smoother texture.

Cheng powder needs to be mixed with boiled water when it is used, and four liang of Cheng powder needs six liang of half boiled water to be washed.

When boiling water is poured into the bowl filled with Chengfen, the color of Chengfen changes from snow white to slightly transparent milky white, which looks particularly beautiful.Ye Huangui first mixed it with chopsticks, and then kneaded it with his hands when the temperature came down. In the end, he got a ball of moderately soft and hard dough.

After the Chengfen is ready, it is time to prepare the glutinous rice noodles.Ye Huangui added two taels of sugar and two spoons of lard to the wooden basin filled with glutinous rice flour. After mixing the sugar and lard with the glutinous rice flour, the green juice prepared before can be poured into the glutinous rice flour up.

Kneading glutinous rice flour is hard work, but it will relieve stress when you are in a bad mood.After the green juice and glutinous rice are fully blended, the rice noodle balls present a very fresh green color, and there is a fragrance of rice noodle and mugwort leaves.

After the glutinous rice dough is kneaded, add the Cheng Dian just kneaded and knead together.

Ye Huangui worked hard with both hands. Fortunately, lard was added to the glutinous rice dough, so he didn't get glutinous rice flour all over his hands.

They felt that Ye Huangui was nervous, and they were very obedient when they saw Ye Huangui cooking.They nestled under Ye Huangui's dining table, and whenever Ye Hugui looked over, they wagged their tails.

After a cup of tea, Ye Huan's hands were sore from kneading, and he finally got a perfectly kneaded blue rice noodle ball.

But what's the use of that, the ball of rice noodles didn't take long to form, Ye Huangui pulled it into evenly sized doses.After rolling a few times in his hands, the pills turned into balls the size of apricots. He put them one by one in a wooden basin and covered them with gauze for later use.

Ye Huangui counted, these glutinous rice flour can make him 39 green balls.

He opened the cabinet and looked through it: "Ah, I found it."

While talking, he took out a large bowl from the cabinet, which contained more than half of the bowl of bean paste.

This is the red bean paste he washed last year. It has been fried with oil and sugar. It is dark red in color and moist and dense. It is completely different from the red bean paste he cooked to make red bean cakes before.

Before, what he made could only be regarded as red beans in syrup. You can feel the skin of the red beans inside, and you can taste a little bean flavor when you eat it carefully.The red bean paste in this bowl does not have this problem.

These red bean pastes are complicated to make: boil the beans first, then crush the beans little by little on a strainer made of thin bamboo strips and wash the red bean paste with clean water.After washing, filter it with gauze, and fry it with oil and rock sugar after filtering...

In short, it is not easy!It is precisely because of this that he was not willing to feed the chickens last year.

At this time, it was ready to be used, Ye Huangui rolled the bean paste in the bowl into bite-sized balls, and there were exactly twelve small balls in the bowl.

He took out a ball of pills, and saw that when he pressed the thumb of his right hand into the middle of the pills, a deep dent was left on the pills.He held the rice noodle in his left hand, and slowly turned it with the thumb and index finger of his right hand. After a while, the rice noodle ball turned into a rice noodle bowl with a pit in the middle.

He took a bean paste and stuffed it in the middle of the rice noodles, while the tiger's mouth squeezed the edge of the rice noodles upwards.After a while, the big gap on the rice noodles became smaller, and soon a round dumpling appeared in Ye Huangui's palm.

The glutinous rice dumplings will be very sticky after being steamed. If you use ordinary steaming cloth, the dumplings will be sticky with the steaming cloth, and it will lose its appearance if you are not careful when you take it out.In order to prevent this from happening, he had already thought of countermeasures.

There are several wide and long dark green leaves soaked in the pool. These are the leaves of reeds, and Ye Huangui often uses them to make zongzi.The reed leaves have a delicate fragrance after being boiled in water, and are tough and not easy to break.Ye Huangui cut them into two-foot-long sections. Once the two leaves were overlapped, they were placed on the bottom of the green ball. No matter what, the green ball couldn't get past them and stick to the steaming cloth.

After a while, twelve evenly sized and round green balls were placed in the steamer.

Only then did Ye Huangui realize that he forgot to make salty stuffing.But making salty stuffing is very fast, and the materials are all ready-made.

I saw that he took out a handful of blanched bamboo shoots and cut them into cubes, then chopped a piece of meat into minced meat, and added diced shiitake mushrooms in it.Then add onion ginger cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, sugar, salt and soy sauce to enhance the taste, after a while, a small pot of salty stuffing appeared in front of him.

Making things is really stress-free for Ye Huangui. You don’t have to worry about any troubles when you devote yourself to the production of delicious food. After the delicious food is made, you will feel better and have good food to eat!

Just like now, Ye Huangui was happily wrapping the green dumpling, and the chopping board in front of him was filled with green dumpling with reed leaves in a short while.Just as he was about to put the dumpling on the chopping board into the steamer, he remembered an important thing—all the dumpling looks the same, so how to distinguish between sweet and salty?

Don't panic, he has a way.I saw him go to the storage room, and when he came back, he had a handful of dates in his hand.He washed the dates, cut them into long strips with scissors, and placed them on top of the sweet green balls.

After steaming in this way, the salty and sweet green balls are clear at a glance!

Xiao Ye Zi praised herself happily: "I'm so smart!"

After he wrapped the rest of the green dough, there was still some stuffing left.But it's okay, he promised Fubo to make chicken feather meatball soup at night, and these fillings can be saved to make small balls and put in the soup!

The 39 youth groups couldn't fit in one cage, so Ye Huangui divided them into two cages.

The rest of the time is just waiting. The Qing Tuan is easy to cook, as long as the water is boiled and steamed with two sticks of incense.After the steamer was placed on the stove, Ye Huangui waited while packing up his pots and pans.

The smell of the wormwood green balls is very fragrant, and the smell of the house is full when it is cooked. When it is steamed, the aroma of the wormwood is neutralized by the aroma of the glutinous rice.There are many sweet green balls in the first cage, and the warm sweet fragrance slowly overflows from the steamer, softly eroding Ye Huangui's sense of smell.

Fearing that he would over-steam or not have enough time to steam, Ye Huangui bought a few hourglasses to make it in time.Just now when he put the steamer on it, he also put the hourglass on it. When the sand in the hourglass runs out, it means the green ball is steamed!

Ye Huangui lifted the lid of the steamer contentedly: "Wow~~"

The steam in the steamer steamed up, and twenty plump green dumplings sat on the reed leaves.After steaming, their color has changed.Before steaming, they were bright green and fresh in color, and after steaming, they turned dark green.

This color is like fine black jade, it is really comfortable to look at!

Ye Hugui quickly transferred the steamer to the dining table, and he brought the other steamer on the dining table to the stove.After closing the lid, he didn't forget to drop the hourglass.

When he turned around, he found that Jin Bao had jumped onto the table and squatted beside the steamer.Ye Huangui frowned: "Jinbao, what do you want?"

Jinbao and Zhaocai looked at Ye Huangui at the same time, and the meaning in their eyes couldn't be more obvious—they want to eat the Youth League!

70. Youth League

Facing the eyes of attracting wealth and wealth, Ye Huangui had no choice but to compromise shamefully. He held the Youth League and seriously warned the young couple: "Don't eat too much..."

After the words fell, the two ran out the door with the Youth League in their mouths, not too hot!

Ye Huangui couldn't laugh or cry, he could only stare at Yaya.Ya Ya doesn't like to eat these things made by Ye Huangui, so it raises its neck towards Ye Huangui.

Duck never wants delicious food, it just wants a warm hug.

After playing with the ducks for a while, the temperature of the green balls in the steamer also dropped.Ye Huangui took the brush, and while the green ball was still warm, he evenly brushed a layer of oil on the green ball.

The oiled green dumpling is dark green in color, very cute and oily.

The main reason for oiling is that the green dough will crack or stick together after it dries.With the protection of oil, it will still be soft and delicious when steamed directly next time.

After a while, the second basket of green balls was steamed, and when Ye Hugui was busy brushing oil on the green balls, Uncle Fu's voice suddenly came: "Little Ye Zi! Come and help!"

Ye Huugui's heart that had just been relaxed suddenly lifted, and he put down the oil pot and brush in his hand: "Come here!"

Uncle Fu's head was covered with sweat, he said in a hurry: "Hurry up, grind another phoenix foot! I'm dying, I was so focused that I didn't notice that the effect of the medicine was over! Add two drops of psychic liquid after grinding! "

While talking, Fu Bo took out a phoenix foot from his pocket, and Ye Huangui quickly took it.He took the mortar and ground it quickly and carefully, the black phoenix feet were unexpectedly crisp and tender, feeling like the texture of water chestnuts.After a while, the phoenix feet turned into a puddle of black ointment.

Ye Huangui followed Uncle Fu's example and poured two drops of spiritual liquid into it. After grinding again to ensure that the spiritual liquid had completely fused with the phoenix feet, he poured the phoenix feet from the mortar into a small bowl.He hurriedly ran to the room with a small bowl in his hand: "Uncle Fu, it's done!"

Uncle Fu was doing the needle, he quickly said to Ye Huangui: "Feed him to drink."

At this moment, Ye Huangui saw the wound on Tan Duzhi's body, and with just one glance, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Although Fu Bo told him that connecting the meridians is very painful, the process of connecting the meridians in his mind is to cut open the previous wound, find the broken meridians, and then connect them one by one.What he didn't expect was that finding the indented meridian itself was a very difficult task.

The skin on Tan Duzhi's wrist was peeled off, revealing a palm-sized opening, and silver needles were densely pricked beside the wound.Red muscles and white tendons are entangled on the white bones, and Forber is peeling cocoons from the broken tendons, looking for the meridians shrunk into the muscles.

While Ye Huangui was watching, Uncle Fu had already found the meridian he was looking for.He used silver needles to pierce the thin meridians and pumped them out. Every time Fu Bo twitched, Tan Duzhi's arm twitched involuntarily.

Just like Fu Bo said, this is a cramping pain.Just by looking at it, Ye Huangui felt his wrist hurt.His eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Fu, Uncle Fu, take it easy, take it easy..."

Uncle Fu rolled his eyes: "Don't make trouble! Get out after feeding the medicine!"

Tan Duzhi's face turned pale, and beads of sweat dripped out of his head.Seeing Ye Huangui look like he was about to cry, he comforted him softly: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Ye Huugui bent down quickly, he supported Tan Duzhi's neck with one hand, and handed the small bowl to Tan Duzhi's lips with the other: "Drink it soon, it won't hurt after drinking it."

Tan Duzhi drank the phoenix foot in the small bowl, and he showed a comforting smile to Ye Huangui: "Don't be afraid, I'm fine."

Ye Huangui raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his head carefully. He really wanted to say something to Tan Duzhi, but when the words came to his lips, it became: "I, I made green dumplings, you must I haven't eaten it. It tastes good, you must get better..."

Tan Duzhi smiled: "Well, I can smell it, it must be delicious."

Uncle Fu couldn't bear it anymore: "Don't be sticky here, I know you two have a good relationship. After I reconnect his meridians, you can kiss and hug as you like, and don't disturb me now. Little Yezi, hurry up Get out, you'll make us both uneasy here."

Ye Huangui could only let go of Tan Duzhi, his heart clenched tightly.At this moment, he suddenly realized how his relatives felt when he was sick in his previous life.It turns out that looking at the family members in the hospital bed, are the relatives feeling so uncomfortable?

The effect of the medicine has not yet taken effect, and Tan Duzhi can still speak.He turned his head to look at Ye Huangui and said softly, "Go out and make some delicious food. I'll be fine soon."

Ye Huangui was afraid that staying any longer would distract Uncle Fu, so he could only nod his head: "Well, I'm right outside the door. I'm right outside."

After closing the door, Ye Huangui sniffled, he almost shed tears in front of Old Tan.

Old Tan suffered too much, he saw it clearly just now, Uncle Fu first connected the veins of his left hand to Old Tan.Old Tan's left hand has two fingers that can move, and it took so long.If it was his right hand and two legs, what kind of pain would he have?

The smell of blood in the room has been lingering on the tip of the nose, Ye Huangui's heart seems to be pressed by a big stone, no matter what, he can't relax.

For one left hand, Uncle Fu took it for most of the day. When he came out of the room, Uncle Fu sighed for a long time: "Oh, connecting meridians to people is much more troublesome than connecting meridians to rabbits."

After all, if the rabbit's meridians are not well connected, it will be a request, at worst, it will be made into a dry pot rabbit.And Tan Duzhi is such a living person, if he can't connect his meridians well, Uncle Fu's signboard will be smashed.Fortunately, it was connected, so Uncle Fu could feel relieved.

Uncle Fu wandered towards the kitchen: "Little Ye Zi, is there anything to eat?"

Ye Huangui quickly opened the cabinet and took out the Youth League: "Yes, there are Youth Leagues!"

Fu Bo pinched a dumpling and took a bite: "It still tastes like the familiar little leaf, delicious. You give two to Xiao Tan, he should be hungry too."

When Ye Hugui heard this, he quickly put the plate containing the green balls on the dining table. He took a bowl and put a few green balls in it, and made a bowl of honey water: "Fu Bo, eat first."

Uncle Fu looked at Ye Huangui's back with the Youth League in his mouth, and sighed: "Hey, it's nice to be young!"

The effect of the Phoenix Foot medicine is almost over, and there is some numbness on the left wrist.Tan Duzhi closed his eyes and felt the return of the remaining three fingers on his left hand. At this time, he could not use too much force, so he could only move his fingers slightly.

He didn't expect that the meridian, which even the immortal doctors asserted that there was no way to repair it, would actually be repaired in this small village.

Sensing Ye Huangui's breath, Tan Duzhi opened his eyes.Ye Huangui put the two bowls in his hand on the bedside table, squatted down in front of the bed and reached out to touch his left hand.

Tan Duzhi's left wrist was wrapped with a thick bandage, and every finger of his was swollen due to the injury.It was as thick as Ye Huangui's sausage made from sheep's intestines last winter.

Ye Huangui didn't dare to use force, he could only touch Lao Tan's skin.Lao Tan's palms are full of calluses, but the skin on the back of his hands is fine.At this time, his skin was swollen, and a light pressure could make a dent.But Ye Huangui could feel the warmth of Lao Tan's left hand!It's hotter than the temperature of his palm!

Tan Duzhi said softly: "Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt. Uncle Fu's hand is very steady."

Tan Duyi said that Ye Huangui's throat was blocked.How could it not hurt?Tan Duzhi had to experience the pain of cramping and skinning four times.After that, acupuncture and moxibustion will be needed to make the meridians grow better...

Ye Huangui is not a delicate person, he struggled in pain for eight years in his previous life.Every time my body hurts so much that I can't sleep or eat, my mother can only cry in vain, and my father and brother can only avoid sighing.Over time, he learned to tell his family with a smile that he was not in pain.

He didn't want to see the painful eyes of his family members, he didn't want to hear their heavy sighs, and he didn't want to show his most embarrassing and desperate appearance to his beloved one.

Because of love, he chose to endure.And what about Lao Tan?Old Tan is just used to being alone, that's why he is so strong.

Ye Huangui looked directly into Tan Duzhi's eyes: "Old Tan, you don't have to be so strong. If it hurts, you can cry, you can scream, as long as it makes you feel better, you can do anything. Don't hold back .”

There were layers of ripples in Tan Duzhi's heart, and he said slowly: "It really doesn't hurt."

He has experienced this level of pain countless times.Compared with the torture and the pain of broken tendons in the water prison of Jiuxiao Xianmen, the pain at this time makes him happy.

Every pain now has an end, and every time it hurts, he sees hope.

He looked deeply at Ye Huangui, he had suffered various injuries along the way.But no one has ever worried about him for no reason like Ye Huangui after being injured.

Tan Duzhi smiled and said, "I smell a very fragrant smell. Is it the Youth League you mentioned? Can I eat it?"

Ye Huan came back to his senses: "Ah! Yes!"

Just as Tan Duzhi wanted to get up, Ye Huangui held him down: "Lie down and don't move! I'll feed you!"

Tan Duzhi was extremely helpless: "I treat the hands, not the body."

Ye Huangui stood by the bed and searched for several positions. In the end, he found out in frustration that he still wanted Old Tan to sit up.A quilt and Qiaoqiao were placed behind Tan Duzhi, and he sat obliquely.

Ye Huangui sat beside him and held honey water to his lips: "You haven't eaten breakfast this morning, you must be starving, right? Drink some water to moisten your throat first."

The honey water was sweet and moist, and after drinking it, my throat really felt a lot more comfortable. After Tan Duzhi drank a few mouthfuls of the honey water.Ye Huangui held the bottom of the reed leaf and handed the green ball to Old Tan: "This is green ball stuffed with mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and meat. Try it to see if it suits your taste."

Tan Duzhi lowered his head and took a bite. The soft and glutinous green dough wraps the filling below, and a fresh scent fills his mouth.The skin of the green dough with added sugar tastes slightly sweet, and it is mixed with the salty and fresh filling inside to form a wonderful taste.

The diced bamboo shoots are crispy, the diced shiitake mushrooms are smooth, and the diced meat is juicy and fragrant. After Tan Duzhi took a bite, the juice in the green group could not wait to come out.Ye Huangui hastily turned the mouth of the Qingtuan up, so as not to let the juice inside flow out.

Although the green balls were made in the morning, Ye Huangui kept them in the cabinet all the time. It is the best time to eat them when they are warm and delicious.

Tan Duzhi squinted his eyes and chewed the dumpling: "It's delicious."

Ye Huangui saw that his energy and appetite were good, so he relaxed: "I'm in a hurry this time. I will make salted egg yolk meat floss flavored green balls in the future. You must like it too!"

Tan Duzhi nodded: "Yes." After a pause, he looked at Ye Huangui with concern: "You eat too."

He saw it all, Ye Huangui didn't eat at noon!

Ye Huangui smiled and scratched his face, he pinched a green ball: "Yes! Let's eat together."
