The next day, after breakfast, when Hyoly left, Li Shenxing also drove his Land Rover out to purchase ingredients for making rice dumplings.

I went to the same traditional market. Because the things I wanted to buy this time were heavy, Li Shenxing also brought a small cart in the trunk, which was the kind of cart that the aunts usually pulled when they went shopping for groceries.

There are many types of glutinous rice, but Li Shenxing has to choose the one with the best stickiness and the taste is also relatively fragrant, so it tastes better.

Because there are many rice dumplings to be made, Li Shenxing bought more than 20 kilograms of fragrant glutinous rice, and bought some red beans, peanuts, candied dates and a few kilograms of mung beans. When buying mung beans, Li Shenxing asked the store to help break the mung beans in half, so that it is easier to remove the skin when soaking.

After buying mung beans and glutinous rice, Li Shenxing went to buy pepper powder, pepper powder, dried ginger powder, and cinnamon powder for marinated pork belly. If he wasn't afraid that they wouldn't get used to the taste of star anise, tangerine peel and other spices, he would just buy a large bag of five-spice powder directly. Then it would be so troublesome to use it now, and he would have to buy some of everything.

Finally, I bought a large bottle of light soy sauce, which is used to marinate meat. It is not enough if I don’t buy more small bottles of soy sauce at home.

After buying the goods, Li Shenxing pulled the cart out.

"Huh?" I wonder what this guy Li Shenxing discovered, so he walked towards an old lady setting up a street stall.

"Amni, how do you buy this kind of sweet potato?" Li Shenxing asked, pointing to a purple sweet potato that was broken in half.

"This is the case, a basket of only 2,000 won."

Eight sweet potatoes of 2,000 won, are not expensive, and there are 800 won two roasted yellow-hearted sweet potatoes on the street.

"Amni, how many sweet potatoes are there?" It is rare to see this purple sweet potato. Li Shenxing wants to buy more. What he usually sees are yellow-hearted sweet potatoes.

"There are three baskets, do you all?"

"Everything is needed, Amnie will help me install it."

"Okay, I'll put it all for you." Seeing that it was the big customer, the old lady immediately helped Li Shenxing put all the purple sweet potatoes into a big bag together.

After handing over the money to the old lady, Li Shenxing dragged the cart of things slowly to leave the traditional market.

"There is a man who loves you very much, and a man who dares not say he loves you. It's just a distance that can be touched by just reaching out."

Putting things in the trunk, Li Shenxing got into the car and just as he was about to drive home, his phone rang.

"Yeah, who can you please ask?" Li Shenxing asked by answering the phone.

"Is Li Shenxingxi? I ​​have your package. Are you at home now?"

"You send it here, I'll get home in ten minutes."

"OK."

Li Shenxing put away his cell phone and drove home.

I just drove the car to the garage and before I could come, I was in a hurry to move my things into my house, and the doorbell rang.

He opened the door and signed for the package with the courier. Li Shenxing picked up the heavy foam box, hooked his feet and closed the door.

He carried the foam box into the kitchen and placed it on the island counter. Li Shenxing didn't rush to open it, and returned to the garage to bring the glutinous rice back to the kitchen.

"Hiss~hiss~hiss~"

Li Shenxing cut the tape wrapped in the foam box along the edge with a knife.

Open the lid, remove the fresh ice pack on it, take out the meat that was cut into pieces, including pork belly, two pig trotters, one pig's legs, one pig's tail, one pig's belly, and a large piece of beef.

Li Shenxing just saw the label on the lid saying it was 11,000kg, more than 20 kilograms of meat~.

Put the pork belly aside, and the other Li Shenxing put the remaining meat in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.

Find the largest ceramic basin in the house from the cabinet. Li Shenxing cut the pork belly into segments at a length of about 10 cm, put it in the basin after cutting it, pour the dried ginger powder, pour rice wine and soy sauce, find a pair of disposable gloves, and stir it with your hands, otherwise it will be difficult to mix so much meat and spices evenly.

After stirring, the plastic wrap is sealed. The longer the meat is marinated, the better the meat is. Generally, it is marinated for a week, because at this time the meat has been penetrated by spices and no longer the original fishy smell of the pig.

After marinating the meat, Li Shenxing had nothing to do because the glutinous rice and mung beans were soaked the night before making the rice dumplings, so he picked up tennis balls and took mangoes to the backyard to play the ball-picking game.

Time is like a dog who can suddenly go out for fun, it disappears after a flash of smoke.

Today, Li Shenxing was going to make rice dumplings, glutinous rice, mung beans, red beans, and peanuts, which he had soaked last night, and washed the candied dates and hung them in the basket, waiting for him to do it.

There are no rice dumpling leaves here, but there are bamboo leaves, which can be wrapped, but it takes a lot of leaves to make a larger rice dumpling. Li Shenxing wants to make a pillow rice dumpling, and a rice dumpling basically weighs pounds. However, Li Shenxing doesn't make such a big one. It takes a long time to cook it if it is too big, so he makes half a pound, so that he can finish it even if he eats it.

After placing the bamboo leaves, one layer of glutinous rice and one layer of mung beans, a piece of marinated pork belly and a chestnut in the middle, then a layer of mung beans and one layer of glutinous rice, and finally carefully wrap it up and tie it tightly with cotton thread.

Li Shenxing is not very good at making rice dumplings. He was also hand-made at the beginning, but gradually he became proficient and his speed became faster and faster. The rice dumplings were also made more and more beautiful.

It took more than two hours to wrap all the meat dumplings.

"Ah~ah~ah~ah~"

After sitting down for more than two hours, Li Shenxing felt that his muscles were about to rust. After wrapping the meat dumplings, he quickly got up and moved his body and stretched his waist.

He put the prepared rice dumplings in a basket and carried them to the backyard. Li Shenxing moved a few red bricks from the garage and placed them on the ground, then carried a piece of iron sheet on top of the brick, and finally placed the stove top so that the bottom would not burn when the fire was burned.

Carry out the largest pot in the house, put the meat dumplings carefully one by one, and after putting them in, pour some salt in, then pull the water pipe for the flower watering, open the spray head and water the rice dumplings inside before stopping.

I packed up the water pipes and moved out the several bundles of wood I bought yesterday from the garage. I bought a lot of them, but he had never cooked them. I probably knew the time, but I didn't know how much wood I wanted.

Put the wood in the stove and set it up, then pour some gasoline on the wood, stuff the old newspaper in, and light it.

With the help of gasoline, the wood burns easily.

After seeing the fire stabilized, Li Shenxing walked back to the living room to continue making rice dumplings, but this time he changed to sweet rice dumplings. (To be continued.)
