劲事八 - 包粽子

话说镀金牛在澳洲这么多年从没留意过阴历的节日，什么春节中秋节都是靠朋友的通知才知道的。2星期前镀金牛老爸送了5只粽子给镀金牛，才知道今年6月6号是端午节。本来过不过端午节也没什么大不了的，不过这粽子却是镀金牛的挚爱，要知道这20年里才吃到几次，每次也才吃到1，2个。而镀金牛老爸送的这5只粽子是他朋友自己包的，新鲜粽子味道就是好！于是镀金牛也忍不住开始策划要自己包粽子了。其实镀金牛小时候就跟着外婆学包过粽子，虽然这20年没再碰过，不过大致也知道需要些什么材料。小白狮虽然很想支持，不过当镀金牛说要买2公斤五花肉和5公斤糯米浸在老抽里过夜时，她婉转的问道“这些浸了酱油的米啊肉啊除了包粽子还能做什么？”镀金牛诚实的回答“这么咸，应该是不能用来做其他菜了。”小白狮笑的灿烂的说“那就买1公斤肉和2公斤糯米吧！给你浪费了我没那么心疼。。”

于是星期五一下班，我们便冲去了中国食材店买材料，我们兴匆匆的挑了块没骨头的五花肉，接着就挑了包粽叶，可却怎么也找不到包粽子的绳子。没绳子还怎么包粽子？没办法，只好打算去其他店找找。收钱的大姐见我们买了粽叶就笑说怎么等到现在才来包粽子，端午节都过了好几星期了。我们赶紧问她有没有绳子买，她说有，还找了人来帮我们找。于是小白狮跟着去找绳子了，好心的大姐接着问镀金牛打算包什么粽子。镀金牛说包肉粽，大姐看着桌上的粽叶和五花肉笑问道“那糯米呢？”对呀，没糯米怎么包啊？于是赶紧打电话给小白狮让她顺便找糯米。收钱大姐就笑得前俯后仰的，说从没听说过包粽子不用糯米的。唉，这不是一时兴奋给忘了吗？不过镀金牛心里就开始有些担心了，这最简单的买材料也能出些状况。真能把这些米啊肉啊顺利包起来吗？

回到家里，先把粽叶浸在水里，接着就洗了糯米晾干，然后把一大块五花肉切块，最后分别浸在老抽里。这晚镀金牛可真没睡好，整晚都在想以前外婆是怎么包的，明天自己又该怎么包。最后还想着万一包不了，那怎么处置这些材料才最不会让小白狮笑话。终于到了星期六早上了，小白狮把材料都放桌上，镀金牛拉高袖管准备开始包了。按照昨晚想的包法还真包起来了，为了怕漏米，就用了古人的木乃伊包扎法把整个粽子都扎起来了。



包完觉得很不错顿时信心大增，很快就包了一锅。看看包的是不是还有模有样的？因为没有大锅，所以每包完10个小白狮便放水去煮。一个上午就包了40个粽子。那时真是又满足又开心！接下来的一整天，小白狮就不停的煮，接着试吃，再煮，再试吃。终于折腾到晚上11点才完工。


看看香喷喷的粽子，虽然包的很辛苦，不过实在很好吃！所以我们决定每年都要包，这样就不会忘记怎么包了！最后还要谢谢镀金牛外婆。
