Ninghai maci composition

Tomb-Sweeping Day is here again, and every family is busy preparing to worship their ancestors and sweep the grave. According to our custom in Ninghai, of course, there is no shortage of hemp. On Saturday, my mother took me to pick "green" in the field with a basket. The scientific name of "Qing" is wormwood, and its leaves are like watercress, which can be seen everywhere through the grass.

When I got home, my mother and I chose a big basket of "green vegetables", washed it several times, and then put some water in the pot to boil. After a while, my mother opened the pot and saw that a lot of "green" had faded and squeezed out green juice. She scooped up the green with a spoon, wrung it dry, chopped it up and put it in a big bowl.

Dad washed the rice and put it in a big steamer. As soon as the fire burned, the pot was steaming, and blisters came out one after another. I stood by, smelling the fragrant rice, and my mouth was watering. What about the neighbor's uncle? He is cleaning the mortar and preparing to knock it.

Soon, my father picked up the steamed rice, poured it into a stone mortar, and then lifted the pestle and smashed it hard. The soft rice ball was suddenly deformed. Dad was sweating, uncle was adding water, and all the friends in the neighborhood came and chattered around the stone mortar. I followed everyone closely like a small tail. When I saw the white rice ball, I said excitedly, "I want something sweet." Mother brought vegetables and sugar and sprinkled them evenly in the rice ball. Dad rolled the rice ball back and forth with a thick wooden stick until it was crushed into a flat piece.

A big "disc" appeared in front of us, with a color like jasper and a fragrant smell. I am even more greedy and keep urging: "Are you ready? I'm starving. " Aunt said, "It's almost ready. I will definitely give you the first piece! " "As she spoke, she sprinkled some pine flowers evenly on the powder plate, and then picked up a kitchen knife to cut them one by one, long, square and diamond. ...

I can't wait to pick up a piece and send it to my mouth. Slippery, soft, sweet to my heart! The children next to each other are also competing to eat, so happy!
