Chapter 87

"Tuanzi?" Su Yunxue chewed hastily a few times, and swallowed the cake.She opened her mouth happily. "Mom, do we have dumplings this year?"

Tuanzi is also known as Qingguo and Qingmingguo.It is said that it originated from the Cold Food Festival in the Zhou Dynasty.At that time, people did not light fires to cook, and only ate cold food.Tuanzi, a food that "eats spring" and fights hunger, has been gradually handed down.

But the dumpling uses glutinous rice flour.It is said that rich people have minced meat, but the Su family has not made it for many years.

"Yes," Xu Xiumei said, he couldn't remember the last time he made dumplings. "It's rare for you to remember, but Yunman has never eaten it."

Xu Xiumei was also on a whim.A few days ago, when preparing the dishes and meat for the banquet, he bought some glutinous rice flour and red beans, planning to make some dumplings for the children.

"Not only have I eaten, but I've also eaten durian, egg yolk, plum, and pork flavors!" Su Yunman complained silently in her heart.But she hasn't eaten sweets for a long time, and she is equally excited to have dumplings.

There is nothing else beside the big lake, but there is a lot of silt, but the mud used to wrap duck eggs is not the black mud at the bottom of the lake, but red mud.

In fact, Xu Xiumei didn't know why.She could only explain to her sisters who questioned her that it was their grandmother who taught her.

Xu Xiumei took his two younger sisters onto the sampan, went upstream, and stopped at a place after walking for a short distance.Su Yunman took her sister's hand and jumped down, looking around.This appears to be just a beach, no red mud.

"Mom, where are we going to dig?"

Xu Xiumei walked ahead carrying a bamboo basket and a hoe. "there."

Su Yunman stepped her feet in the direction of her mother's fingers, only seeing a few small grassy mounds.

The two sisters followed Xu Xiumei all the way.After digging a few dandelions, Xu Xiumei smiled and said, "Go back and boil water for you."

"Ah?" Su Yunman couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the unbearable bitterness of dandelion.

Xu Xiumei walked to the small slope and pulled out a lot of grass covering it, revealing a red patch.

"It's really red mud," Su Yunman stuck out her little head.In fact, she hasn't seen it yet.The duck eggs she ate before were all washed very clean, even with only egg yolks.

"Yes", Xu Xiumei asked the sisters to clean up the grass around them, dig out the red mud with hoes, and throw it into the surrounding bamboo baskets.

Su Yunxue pulled some weeds beside her, and put some wild vegetables into his little basket.Su Yunman didn't know anything.She pulled them out a few times and showed her hands to her sister, "Sister, it hurts so much."

Xu Xiumei looked at the little red hand, picked it up, took two breaths, and made Su Yunman laugh.

"Go and dig some muddy grass with your sister," Xu Xiumei sent them to do other things, "Yunxue..."

"I know, mugwort, mudwort!" Su Yunman didn't wait for her mother's order, so she said that some wild vegetables are often used to make dumplings.

Absinthe is necessary because it has a "green taste", and it also has the functions of detoxification and evil, and praying to eliminate evil.Chowder and mudwort are used to neutralize the "spiciness" of wormwood, and children prefer to eat gnocchi made from this mixture.

"Nihucao blooms purple flowers", Su Yunxue quickly found a big Nihucao, and pointed to it to "teach Su Yunman on the spot", "We only want its young leaves, don't pick the flowers".

It's almost March now, and most of the dandelions and mudwort are in bloom, but the young leaves are still edible.Su Yunxue gently pinched a few tender leaves with her wrist, and spread them out in the palm of her hand for Su Yunman to see.
