Chapter 117 What to eat during the Winter Solstice
Regardless of the possible troubles in the yet-to-be-shadowed future, she is preparing to celebrate the winter solstice!
In her eyes, the winter solstice is a solar term that is purely about eating. Since the winter solstice is not here anyway, it will be raining heavily at 60 degrees outside, so she only cares about eating comfortably.
According to local customs, on the winter solstice, dumplings are eaten in some places, while glutinous rice balls are eaten in other places. She doesn't make a choice, she wants it all.
On the winter solstice, she didn't open her eyes until after nine in the morning and had a very comfortable sleep.
Now my schedule has been adjusted. I go to bed at 11pm, get up at 7-9am, have breakfast after getting up, then have lunch at 12pm, exercise for two hours at 2pm, and have dinner at 6pm.
If you feel hungry in the middle, just eat some snacks or fruits by yourself so as not to delay the main meal.
Because it was the winter solstice, she let herself sleep for a while, then went into the space to do morning exercises and wash up, got out of bed and replaced the mobile air conditioners with new ones, checked the fuel of the generator, and then turned around and got back into bed.
In the morning...just have a bowl of glutinous rice balls!
She simply decided on three meals for today. She got up late, so she had a simple breakfast, a bowl of glutinous rice balls. She had rice and stir-fried vegetables at noon to make it more substantial. In the evening, she ate dumplings made by herself, stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork.
She waved her hand and took out the long dining table on the bed and placed it on the ground. The legs of the table were on both sides of the bed and the table top was in front of her. Because she wanted to eat glutinous rice balls with soup, she chose a stable long table.
Take out a bowl of glutinous rice balls that you cooked yourself. Of course, the glutinous rice balls are all bought from the supermarket, but the taste is matched by yourself.
In this bowl, the yellow one is peanut filling, the black one is chocolate nut filling, the green one is green tea filling, the light red one is red bean paste filling, and the largest white one is the most classic black sesame filling.
The colorful round dumplings are squeezed together softly and soaked in the translucent white soup, which is really cute.
You should eat glutinous rice balls with a flat-bottomed porcelain spoon, especially the ones stuffed with black sesame seeds, which are white and plump and soft and fill the entire porcelain spoon.
The glutinous rice balls taken out of the soup are shining with a layer of white and moist water. Through the glutinous skin, you can vaguely see the black filling inside. You can tell at a glance that they are very soft, glutinous and sweet.
You can't have any luck with such a big glutinous rice ball that the filling won't leak out. After you take a bite, the dense and sweet black sesame filling will pour out as if it has found a vent. At this time, you have to react quickly to catch the filling before it drips. Stop it with your mouth before entering the bowl.
The thin outer layer is glutinous, fragrant and soft, and the aroma of glutinous rice fills the nostrils, not overpowered by the sweet aroma of black sesame seeds that follow; the filling still retains a slight graininess, which together with the tough and sticky outer layer It adds to the taste.
After eating a sweet black sesame glutinous rice dumpling, you can turn it into the original soup.
The bowl contains the soup used to cook glutinous rice balls. Compared with soup bases such as milk, coconut milk or fermented rice wine, the taste is naturally much lighter, but it has a light noodle flavor, which is very satisfying when you drink it. The glutinous rice balls are sweet and greasy.
Other glutinous rice balls are not as big as the black sesame ones, and there is basically no worry of the filling leaking when you take a bite. Although she could swallow it in one bite, she quite enjoyed the feeling of biting open the glutinous rice balls and watching the fillings flow slowly inside.
The peanut filling and chocolate nut filling are both granular and have a rich texture. The peanuts are sweet, while the chocolate seems to be dark chocolate and has a more mellow and bitter taste. Bean paste and green tea are both lighter in taste and are suitable for cross-eating with the first two.
There is only one filling of each filling in this bowl, and she is not greedy. It is time to have lunch in less than three hours. That meal is more substantial, so she can eat more or less now.
The glutinous rice balls that were still steaming when I first took them out were already cold when I finished drinking the soup, but it didn't affect the taste. She drank a bowl of water to make glutinous rice balls, just to wash away the sweetness in her throat.
Glutinous rice is very filling and difficult to digest. Although she didn't eat much, she still walked into the space to eat, then rolled back to the bed, put a laptop on her lap, and started to use up resources.
These more than two hours were dedicated to screening design resource files, including pictures, project files and fonts, all sorted out by category.
She sorted out several folders, thinking happily that at least now the fonts could be used freely without worrying about infringement.
Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, the time passed happily. She was lonely and worried about having to eat later, so she didn't dare to eat any snacks, so she simply dug out a pack of Skittles and ate them to relieve her boredom.
She deliberately chose the sour packaging so as not to eat too much. It's really effective. The outer shell is really too sour. Even though the inside is sweet when you bite it open, it's still so sour that your head is buzzing.
She didn't eat a few candies and drank a lot of water. By the time she came out of the space to go to the toilet again, it was almost time to have lunch.
She still ate in bed. She fully realized how good the bed was and was no longer willing to put away the bed and set up a table.
You have to unplug the power supply to close the bed, which is very troublesome.
There were a lot of dishes she wanted to eat, so she decided to use the big stable table. She thought about it and took out a plate of garlic spareribs, a plate of fried tofu with sweet and sour poached eggs, a plate of boiled cabbage hearts, and another bowl of cold ones. rice.
She didn't choose carbonated drinks because she wanted to eat a variety of things today, so she chose a bottle of commercially available lemon tea, which was kept cool in the refrigerator.
I went to Goldfinger and purchased a transparent glass cup. The shape is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. It is similar to the disposable paper cups in fast food restaurants, but taller.
She went to the area where ice cubes were stored and chose a peach jelly ice cube. She filled the cup with ice cubes, poured lemon tea into it, then found a stainless steel straw and inserted it into it, and she could start her meal. Got it!
She had prepared this meal by herself before and stored it in the space. The portion was not large and it could be eaten by one person.
The garlic spareribs are pan-fried, with the slightly fatter part fried out of fat, and mixed with salt particles, which is very fragrant; the sweet and sour poached eggs are added with a few slices of fried tofu, which is easy to hold and not easy to break, and the texture is also a tough and thin layer of skin on the outside. , the tofu inside is still very tender, which goes well with rice.
The boiled cabbage sum is purely to top the vegetable indicator, but the taste is naturally good. When the other two dishes are relatively strong in taste, the light and refreshing choy sum can clear the mouth and relieve greasiness.
But to relieve tiredness, of course, we have to rely on lemon tea, which has a unique astringent taste. As the peach juice ice cubes gradually melt, the whole drink becomes colder, and at the same time, it also adds a hint of sweet peach aroma, and the flavor is more wonderful.
She ate all the pork ribs and cabbage, and left a plate of sweet and sour poached egg and fried tofu with a thick sweet and sour sauce. She originally used it to mix with rice and could have ordered other dishes, but she was quite full. , just take back the space temporarily and save it for later eating.
