173 Glutinous Rice Balls
Xu, Xu Wen was sealed?
If the facts are really as mentioned just now, who is this cat now?
Misty rain? Snow clear? Or... Glazed?
Xia Qing was guessing Maomao’s identity, but Wan Tao pulled her arm, "Sister Qing! The situation is urgent now, I don’t have time to explain to you. Let’s go and save Brother Xu Wen with Xiao Hei!"
"Ah? Uh..."
Obviously, Wantao completely accepted the magic cat's setting and yelled to rescue Xu Wen quickly. Xia Qing had no time to think seriously, but followed the magic cat to the entrance of the cave in the attic. After entering the cave space, she saw Xu Wen standing on the wooden stake tied with a red rope. Some strange dolls wearing strange leather clothes and z on the mask were dancing around the sleeping Xu Wen.
What is this...doing?
Xia Wantao's reaction was much more intense than the confused Xia Qing. As soon as she saw the bad guys' outfits, she immediately shouted loudly-
"Wow, it's the evil super villain Z-star man!"
"Z-star people?"
"Yes! They just like to kidnap others everywhere, tie others to shelves and tickle them, and torture them."
"Then, that's really evil!"
Xia Wantao couldn't wait to ask the magic cat, "Since there are such a terrible villain, can't we use the power of the magic girl to deal with them?"
"Wait--" The magic cat took out a staff from somewhere and threw it into Wu Yu's hand, "Then I'll leave this to you!"
The magic cat threw out a magic wand and handed it to Xia Wantao. Xia Wantao recognized the source of the magic wand at a glance:
"This is the magic wand of the little magic fairy Bratica! It is my favorite one."
"Wan Tao, take this opportunity to shout out the magic spell of transformation and deal with the evil Z-star people together!"
"Okay! This is also to save Brother Xu Wen..."
"I am the heir of my mission. Liberate your power in the name of the contract! The wind lingers in the sky, the stars linger in the night sky, the unyielding courage, the spirits in my heart, hold the magic in my hands, and transform the little magic fairy Bratika!
As Xia Wantao recited the magical transformation spell, she also changed into the costume of the little magic fairy Bratika. However, when she was about to wave her wand to deal with the Z-star people, her sister Xia Qing had already knocked down all the other party with her fists and rescued Xu Wen.
"Forehead……"
Xia Qing also felt a little embarrassed when she saw Wan Tao who was eager to try it out, "Sorry, I couldn't help but see that Brother Xu Wen was in danger-"
It was obvious that it was a new script prepared by Xu Wen for Wan Tao, but she destroyed Wan Tao's game experience. Xia Qing suddenly felt a little disgusted. Fortunately, Wan Tao herself seemed to not care about this, and she just smiled and replied, "It's okay! Just save Brother Xu Wen."
But, that's it...
Xu Wen was placed under Xia Qing and lying on the grass slope, "He doesn't seem to wake up..."
Is his acting skills so good, Xu Wen?
Xia Qing patted Xu Wen's cheek gently and called his name, but Xu Wen still looked unmoved. Xia Qing was suddenly panicked and hurriedly asked the magic cat who came over, "What should I do now?"
"Xu Wen was hit by the sleeping curse of the Z-star people, and he had to be awakened by magic dishes from different dimensions."
Before Xia Qing could speak, she began to skillfully prepare various restaurant kitchen utensils, but when Xia Qing came to her senses, she found that her mother was still staring at her.
"What, what's wrong?"
"Are you really Ah Qing? You've grown up so big..."
The mother gently touched Xia Qing's cheek, which made her feel very uncomfortable, "Why are you so deeply involved in the show? It's almost OK, I'll just play the role of mother later."
"Well...but I still need to help."
"Okay... whatever you want... I can't get away anyway."
Xia Qing rummaged over and looked at the ingredients in the cabinet, thinking that Xu Wen suddenly started to do this job, and he should have prepared ingredients in advance. He found that the cabinet only contained a box of fresh meat and a small bag of glutinous rice, and some mixed seasonings.
"It was said that it was playing a cooking game, but I only prepared such a little things..." Xia Qing thought, "What should I do... what should I do?"
"How about using these ingredients to make glutinous rice balls?"
"Yes, it turns out there is such a plan..."
Xia Qing said this and suddenly drooled subconsciously, "Speaking of this, my mother's glutinous rice balls tasted really good..."
"Yes, you ate it cute when you were a kid."
Mama Xia smiled.
"I liked to eat when I was a child, didn't you do the same when you were a child?" Xia Qing whined, "Wash the glutinous rice, I'll find a way to prepare the filling of the meatballs first."
"good."
Xia's mother obediently followed Xia Qing's instructions, which was not much different from the usual Wu Yu's reaction. Xia Qing didn't think there was anything strange.
Glutinous rice balls, also known as pearl balls, are meatballs steamed with glutinous rice. This type of meatballs is made in many places in the south, and is even more a home-cooked dish in northern Chu Province. Because the taste is soft, glutinous, fresh and fragrant, suitable for all ages and young people, the cooking process is also quite simple. It is just steamed and cooked after wrapping the glutinous rice, so it is a popular dish.
To make delicious glutinous rice balls, the glutinous rice must be soaked for a long time. While preparing the dishes, Xia’s mother started chatting with Xia Qing again and started to have family conversations:
"Aqing, I am playing the role of mother now, so I also need me to ask some questions that mother can ask."
"Well...you can ask if you want to ask, that's fine."
Xia Qing guessed Wu Yu’s thoughts. She felt that it was not reasonable for only Wantao to enjoy the nourishment of maternal love. She felt that she should also enjoy the happiness of chatting with her mother, so she did not deliberately expose her.
"How long have you been with Xu Wen...?"
"Don't you know? You still ask. But you have to say the specific time..."
Xia Qing thought for a while, "About three months ago, I can't remember it very clearly."
"But you should like him very much, work so hard for him."
"He also worked hard for me, especially now, he has been risking his life to accompany me at the risk of his life."
Xia Qing said in a gentle voice, "Just now, he had the opportunity to take over me...but, it's... in short, he treats me really well."
Originally, she was just playing role-playing with Wuyu, but Xia Qing felt a little ashamed.
"Well...you really like him."
Mama Xia smiled and said, "However, he must have liked you very much since very early."
"Always...like me?"
"Didn't he always come to our house to do his homework with Wuyu and play with Wantao? Actually, he just wants to talk to you."
“???”
Xia Qing chopped the meat with a confused look on her face, "You, what are you talking about!"
"Be careful!"
Xia Qing almost cut her finger and was snatched off by her mother Xia. "You can't chop meat so unscrupulously. This knife is very fast. If you accidentally cut your hand, it may not be just a scar... You have to cut it like this, cut it like this, and then like this..."
"Forehead……"
Xia Qing quietly watched her mother's operation, and a vague scene that seemed familiar to her appeared in her heart.
What's wrong with me?
Why is the sense of déjà vu so strong...
While Xia Qing was stunned, Mama Xia had already chopped the meat into pieces, and mixed it with the various side dishes and seasonings that had been prepared just now to form a pot full of fillings.
"This is how you rub meatballs. You should make a circle with your thumb and index finger, so that the meat paste can be squeezed out from it, and then the efficiency of rubbing the meatballs will be very high... The glutinous rice is already wet, so it will be almost a finished meatball if it is placed on the glutinous rice and rolled it around..."
Xia Qing followed her mother to rub the meatballs. As she rubbed them, Xia Qing subconsciously placed a rubbed meatball in front of her nose and sniffed them. As a result, tears fell involuntarily.
"What...what happened?"
Mama Xia was very confused, "Why did you suddenly... cry?"
"I'm...I finally know that the meatballs I made are not as delicious as my mother..."
Xia Qing held a wrapped meatball to her mother, "It's water chestnuts... I didn't put water chestnuts, so the meatballs were very greasy and were not crisp and refreshing enough..."
"Yes, water chestnuts are very important fillings and seasonings."
Mama Xia smiled and put the last rubbed meatball on the plate, "You remember this time and you won't make any mistakes again in the future."
Before Xia Qing could finish her mother's words, she threw herself into Xia's arms in silence.
"First...wait for a while... let's put the meatballs in the steamer and steam them well, otherwise Wantao and Xuwen will have to wait a long time before they can eat them."
"Um……"
Where is the real Xuwen? How did my mother come back here? Will she continue to exist in the future? What are she thinking now? What do I want to tell her?
Xia Qing's mind is messy now, but the only thing she can confirm is that in order to let her mother meet her again, the fool Xu Wen must have spent a lot of time studying it.
It was obvious that it could not be done at first...but now, this is not again-
"Thank you for your hard work...A Qing."
Xia’s mother stroked Xia Qing’s temples softly. At this time, the fishy smell of meatballs was gone on her hands, but she just gently touched her cheeks, "It’s obviously what my mother should do, and now it’s all left to you to take charge... It has delayed your future and happiness."
"No delay...not at all."
Xia Qing smiled and said warmly, "Although you are not by your side now, I am really happy... The sisters are also very sensible. Look at Wantao's current situation, and Wu Yu is also... I will call Wu Yu over and let her come to see you..."
"It's okay... I've seen it before."
Xia Qing was stunned after hearing this, and then she remembered the magic cat just now, "Is that... the real fog rain?"
