Chapter 124 Youth League (1)
No one would have thought that Zheng Bona’s most frequent visits and most familiar places in the United States were the fresh food supermarket. After coming here, she was like coming to her own home, where the vegetables were and where the seafood was. Even with her eyes closed, she could find it based on her feelings. The commonly used fillings for green dumplings are sweet and salty fillings. The sweet fillings are mainly filled with bean paste. Because they are too sweet, their family doesn’t like them much. If the salty fillings are salty, some seasonal vegetables will be placed in them, mainly bamboo shoots, carrots, dried tofu, minced meat, shrimp, etc. The content of the filling will be changed according to personal preferences.
"Let's go to the vegetable area first, there may not be mugwort here for sale!" Bai Hui knew that the green tumbler was made of mugwort, which was already amazing. Now he is volunteering to pull Zheng Bona to the vegetable area. Mugwort has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and mainly grows in the southern region. In addition, it has a strange smell, so the possibility of some here is very low.
"Well, let's go and have a look first!" Zheng Bona nodded. She came here several times. Although there are many Chinese customers here, they will purchase goods according to their needs. After visiting several times, I have never seen mugwort. However, the Qingming Festival is coming soon, and merchants may also purchase some mugwort according to the Chinese preferences.
"Do you know what mugwort looks like?" Bai Hui walked around the vegetable area, stared at the wormwood, and looked at Zheng Baina with a proud look on his face.
"This is the artemisia vegetable!" Zheng Bona stopped and thought Bai Hui had admitted his mistake. Later, he thought that he might want to eat the artemisia vegetable, so he picked some artemisia leaf into the bag and prepared to take it to weigh it later.
"So, can green rice dumplings be made with artemisia?" Bai Hui was a little happy. After all, he found a vegetable that could be used as a substitute.
"Artemisia?" Zheng Bona frowned, thinking that Bai Hui had indeed admitted his mistake, and hesitated whether to put the artemisia in his hand back to its original place.
"No?" Bai Hui looked at the wormwood inside and out, thinking that it was similar to the picture of wormwood I saw online before. Just make some juice and the effect should be similar.
"It should be possible in theory. According to the same method, but I have hardly heard of the artemisia vegetarian food used by anyone. The effect of using spinach is better. After all, the spinach juice will be relatively more water." Zheng Bona finally put the selected artemisia vegetarian food into the shopping cart. After all, this dish is the best when cooking hot pot, and it is not bad to make soup.
"Then is there mugwort here?" The word "Not ashamed" is useful occasionally, after all, everyone always has something they are not good at.
"No, but relative, mugwort powder is placed there. Americans are really good at doing business. Bags of mugwort powder like that are low-cost and long-lasting, so they are not easy to break." Zheng Bona glanced at Bai Hui. In fact, when she entered the vegetable area, she had already seen mugwort powder in a conspicuous position at the entrance.
"So, just use mugwort powder?" Bai Hui quickly understood what Zheng Bona wanted to say. After so long, people developed products using technological means, which also allows some people to eat what they want without considering seasonal factors. This is also a convenience that modern people can experience.
"Well, just mix it with hot water. I tried it once at home before. It is more convenient than using mugwort directly. It is basically not much worse in terms of taste." Zheng Bona carefully picked up a few commonly used vegetables, and then took two packs of mugwort powder. (One pack is enough for two people. She was worried that she might not be able to buy it next time, so she prepared a pack in advance.)
"Oh!" Bai Hui learned his lesson this time, and did not act smart. He followed Zheng Bona quietly. She was responsible for picking things, while he followed her and pushed a shopping cart full of trophys.
In the car home, Zheng Bona leaned against the car window and felt drowsy. The sunlight shone through the car window. She felt dazzling and reached out to block her eyes.
"Sleepy?" Bai Hui slowed down the car speed a little. He enjoyed the peaceful scenes of the two people as they are now. If time is frozen at this moment, it would be most appropriate to describe it as the quiet time.
"Well, a little bit!" Zheng Bona nodded, stretched out a hand and grabbed Bai Hui's hem, "I'll sleep for a while, and call me when I get home!"
"Okay!" Bai Hui nodded, trying to find something in the car for Zheng Baina to cushion, but looking around for a week, I found that there was nothing suitable at all.
The supermarket was not far away, and it arrived in a while. Bai Hui parked the car in front of the house and gently shook Zheng Bona's shoulder.
"Has it arrived?" Zheng Bona yawned, narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Hui.
"Well, we're home!" Bai Hui nodded. He took the ingredients he wanted to use to the kitchen first, and then saw Zheng Bona leaning against the sofa and falling asleep again.
"Really, why can you fall asleep anywhere!" Bai Hui shook his head, leaned down and hugged Zheng Baina. She seemed to be heavier than before, but she felt a little thinner. He couldn't tell it carefully. He carefully put her on the bed in the bedroom, changed her clothes, and covered her with a quilt.
It was two hours after Zheng Bona woke up. Bai Hui fell asleep next to her. The two of them seemed to have just woken up in the morning. She found that she was wearing home clothes. Bai Hui should have changed her clothes for her in advance.
"How long have you been sleeping?" Zheng Bona instinctively wanted to find her cell phone, but found that her bag was not in the house, so the specific time was unknown.
"It's almost time to have lunch. The two of them didn't eat much green rice dumpling, so the production time should not be long!" Zheng Bona tried to get out of bed, but found a row of chairs on the other side of her. If she wanted to go out, she had to go out from the end of the bed.
"Hmm, are you awake?" Zheng Bona moved, and Bai Hui woke up quickly.
"Why are you asleep?" Zheng Bona put his hand on Bai Hui's face, "You sleep for a while, I'll go downstairs to make a green group first!"
"I'll go with you! I've been sleeping with you for so long, and I've almost finished sleeping!" Bai Hui stood up. He saw Zheng Bona sleeping so well just now, and he had already planned to go downstairs first, but he lay down beside her by chance. After watching for a while, he hugged her and started to sleep.
"Then I will teach you how to do the Youth League?" Zheng Bona was a little happy. Her relationship with Bai Hui evolved into what she is now. She felt a little unreal, thinking that she might be dreaming, but how could she suspect that it was fake when Bai Hui stood in front of her so alive?
"Yes." Bai Hui lifted the quilt and walked down first, then made room for Zheng Bona to come out. The row of chairs in the house were particularly conspicuous, but for him, it was like protecting the fence of the lamb in the sheep pen, which was a very necessary existence.
"Making green rice dumplings is actually very simple. As long as the filling is delicious, there will be basically no major problems afterwards. The ingredients we mainly use today include minced meat and shrimp. Among them, the shrimp can also be replaced with shrimp skin. There are some dried scallops and mushrooms in the refrigerator. You can soak them first. Usually, you will add some diced bamboo shoots, but not as delicious as it is. Today, you will use water chestnuts slightly. Carrots and dried tofu, if you lack one of these two, it will be imperfect! Occasionally, diced dishes are used instead of white radish at home, and now you use white radish directly!" Zheng Bona began to explain some related ingredients like a commentator of the food channel, and Bai Hui could only help with the help at this time.
