Even after eating three or four of these fist-sized green dumplings, they still didn't feel full.
The main ingredient, Ning Jing, makes qingtuan (green glutinous rice dumplings), which have thin skins and plenty of filling.
The savory, crisp, and delicious filling made them want to keep eating.
However, for the sake of the children's stomachs, Ning Jing pretended to ignore the pitiful looks of the children, took two bowls, put about four or five green dumplings in one bowl and left it for Fu Hongxing.
Another bowl contained six of them, which were placed aside. Then the rest were put into a basket and hung on a hook suspended in the kitchen.
The children stared at the green rice dumplings in the bowl and swallowed hard. However, they knew that their sister-in-law had said they couldn't eat any more that night, so she definitely wouldn't let them.
Sure enough, Ning Jing handed the bowl containing six green rice dumplings to Xiu Hua, asking her to deliver it to the Zhao family.
Xiuhua returned quickly after leaving, and when she came back, there was a large piece of egg pancake made from folded elm seeds in her bowl.
"Hey, where did these elm seeds come from in our village?"
During this time of peace, she focused intently on finding something to eat and never gave up.
She had searched the entire Xishan Village, inside and out, but hadn't seen any elm seeds.
"Sister Guihua said that her family sent some over, but because they didn't send many, they didn't make many egg pancakes."
Xiuhua offered an explanation.
Ning Jing thought for a moment, and remembered that when she went with Wang Guihua to her mother's house to buy chicks, she seemed to have passed by a large elm tree growing in front of her house.
Tsk, wouldn't it be great if they had one of these growing in front of their house?
Not only elm seeds, Ning Jing also thought of the Chinese toon tree, whose tender leaves can be chopped up and stir-fried with eggs.
In addition, during the spring, you can pick shepherd's purse and purslane. Whether you make a cold salad or stir-fry it, both are excellent side dishes.
Because the children ate so many green rice dumplings, Ning Jing only cooked some porridge and made a bowl of cold bamboo shoot and shepherd's purse salad for dinner.
Fu Hongxing took a bite of a green rice dumpling, then a sip of porridge, and then a bite of crisp bamboo shoots with cold shepherd's purse. He felt as happy as an immortal.
The children stole glances at their eldest brother, watching him devour the green rice dumplings in his bowl, one after another, and they were so aggrieved they almost cried.
Ning Jing had already discussed with Fu Hongxing the matter of not giving the children green rice dumplings.
So when he was eating the green rice dumplings, he didn't even glance at them.
The children all pouted in anger, but unfortunately, their older brother ignored them until they finished their homework and went to bed, which made them very frustrated.
It was my sister-in-law who spoke to them after they lay down.
Prepare egg pancakes for them tomorrow morning, and give each of them two green rice dumplings and one boiled egg for lunch.
The children then restored the spout that could hold the oil bottle, and Xiuhua was even a little embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to bring us so much good food. Other people are eating rice bran and wild vegetable dumplings."
After all, many students at school bring rice balls made of rice bran and wild vegetables for lunch.
In the previous few days, Ning Jing had them bring large white rice balls filled with stir-fried bamboo shoots and shepherd's purse.
Moreover, the dishes are almost never the same each day.
This made the other students in the class very envious and jealous when they saw the food she and Tiedan brought for lunch.
Even though her sister-in-law cooked something delicious, she really wanted to eat it.
However, I always feel that things aren't going to go well like this.
