Chapter 196 Glutinous Rice Dumpling

PS: The first update, the second update tomorrow morning, Karvin is serious, forgive me.

In the evening, the gourmet party ended, leaving only a few people to finish off.

Men Qi, who was not well drunk, fell drunk to the banquet at halftime. She had already been arranged by the village chief to live in Ivan's tavern, and was already asleep at this time.

An orange lamp illuminates a small place in the tavern. Magino is sitting against the wall of the bathroom, holding the pajamas ready to be given to Ivan in her hand, seeming to be meditating.

In the bathroom, the steam was lingering, and Ivan's whole body was immersed in the hot warm water, his whole body relaxed, and he looked up at the night sky outside the window.

The night sky is like a chess game, the stars are like chess pieces, and the bright moon is in the middle. It looks fascinating, relax, if there is no Mackinaw outside.

"Ivan." Makino, who was sitting outside, was silent for a long time and said, with a little tremor in her voice, as if she was afraid of something, holding her pajamas tightly.

"What's wrong?" Ivan said slowly after being silent for a few seconds.

"It's nothing." Makino opened her mouth to speak, but the words stayed in her throat, without saying anything, her hands that firmly grasped the pajamas gradually loosened, and then she grasped tightly.

The two sides fell silent again, silent, only the chirping of insects at night and the fluctuating sound of warm water in the bathroom could be heard.

"Markino, that." Ivan paused for a while before continuing: "After the Farrow Festival, I may have to go out."

"About...how long will you be away?"

"Almost... a year or so." Ivan whispered. He didn't really want such a scene, but he had to face it.

"Do you want to test the hunter?" Magino said the sentence that had been hidden in her heart.

"Hmm..." Ivan replied after a few seconds of silence.

"Hunter exams are dangerous, right."

"I have always been very greedy. I hope you can live a happy life, find a beloved girl, get married, have children, and live an ordinary life like everyone else.

"I'm very worried about you. I've always been worried about you. Even if you wrote or called back when you were in Yuanyue, you are still very worried. I am worried that you are not used to that kind of life, or that you are not accustomed to that kind of life, or that you are not accustomed to being kicked or not eating well.

Remember the day you came back?Others didn’t notice it, but I knew that there was a problem with your eyes. You took your least favorite pajamas and put them on that day. I was very scared, very scared...

do you know?When you said that I dropped out of Yuanyue, I was really happy, because I knew that I could protect you again and prevent you from getting hurt.

But now... Mom and Dad are gone, and only the two of us are left. I am very worried, very worried that you will leave me too!!!"

Markino whispered, her voice choked, her hands tightly grasping Ivan's pajamas, the crystal clear water droplets slipped down her cheeks, and fell into the pajamas, stained with a few colorless flowers.

Ivan wrapped the bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom, silently, walking to the front of Mackinaw and squatting down.

The water stains from the hair dripped on the wooden floor and quickly penetrated inside.

Ivan stretched out his hands and held up Mackinaw's face, with a smile on his face, which was warm and permeating.

"Don't cry, it doesn't look good, your brother I am super strong."

Mackinaw opened her hands, leaned her head on Ivan's shoulder, and hugged him tightly.

Once upon a time, the younger brother who would only help behind her, his immature shoulders became broad and powerful, able to bear her crying.

"Come back alive."

"Well, it will, definitely."

······

On the third day, the wind was beautiful and the sea breeze was not refreshed by the blue sky. The seagulls realized that the ship was not going to sea, and there was no lucky white food anymore. They stayed away from the pier and looked for new food. Ground.

The sound of the seagulls on the dock was less, and it was a bit more chill.

Menchi stayed on Feiyu Island for one more day, and today she is going to leave Feiyu Island and return to the Nile mainland.

In this hunter exam, she was invited by the Hunter Association and became the main examiner for the second exam, which forced her to leave Ezhen Continent early.

"I'm leaving, I helped you apply for the hunter qualification certificate on the website. The qualification certificate will be mailed in a few days. On January 15th, I will go to Yali Wharf to board the Dover ship." Menqi faced Yi Fan said.

"Thanks a lot." Ivan thanked him.

"I look forward to that day. I hope you can enjoy the fun of the Hunter exam, and your body is too weak. It is very likely that you will not be able to brush off the first level, and take advantage of the time to exercise." Men Qi Admonished.

Although Menqi felt that Ivan had the potential to pass the Hunter's assessment, but it was only potential and might not be able to pass.

With the roar of the speedboat engine, Men Qi finally left, and Flying Fish Island restored its former tranquility until the day before the Faro Festival.

If red envelopes are a special symbol of the Spring Festival, then glutinous rice dumplings are a symbol of Faro Festival.

The white dumplings symbolize reunion. It is the common aspiration of all residents on the Faroe Islands. It also implies love and family, reunion and happiness.

On this day, every household will pick up rosin mallets and put the steamed crystal clear, sweet glutinous rice into the salt stone mortar.

The salt stone collected from the depths of the sea has a slight salty taste on its own. If you pour fresh water into the stone, it will have a salty taste after a day. It is a very magical stone, but Because of its huge output, it has become the favorite pressing stone of every household.

Sweet glutinous rice has a sweet taste, and the light sweetness will fill the whole mouth during chewing. Whether it is used for making sweet porridge, making sweet wine, or making distiller's grains, it is the best ingredient.

"Bangbang Bang..." The wooden mallet beat rhythmically in the salt mortar, and the sound was very pleasant.

The grains of glutinous rice were crushed under pressure, and gradually beaten into a viscous state. During this period, the originally sweet glutinous rice would be stained with some salty taste.

Ivan was tapping the glutinous rice with a pine mallet, while Mackino worked tacitly to keep the rice from sticking to the mortar.

In the end, the sticky glutinous rice began to appear smooth and silky, sticking to the mallet and pulling out extremely long white silk.

The huge glutinous rice balls in the stone mortar are skillfully kneaded into small glutinous rice balls by Macino, and they are rolled on top of sesame flour or peanut flour.

The smooth skin is more sweet and fine powder, which adds some flavor to the glutinous rice dumplings.

"Happy Faro Day." Makino took a glutinous rice dumpling and handed it to Ivan, with a very bright smile, like a child with candy.

"Happy Faro Day." Ivan ate the glutinous rice dumplings into his mouth.

The first entrance is the fragrance of sesame seeds, followed by the soft glutinous glutinous rice dumplings. The slightly salty flavor adds to the sweetness.

The Sweet and Savoury Party will also become a friend at this moment, forgetting the struggle from ancient times to the present.
