Rain of season of “ Pure Brightness in succession, the pedestrian on the road is about to break spirit. Every go to ” Pure Brightness, my home town every family should do a kind of cate, that is black group. Small black group is made is a big project however!
“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”每到清明，我的家乡家家户户都要做一种美食，那就是青团。小小的青团制作起来却是个大工程！
This year tomb-sweeping day, I want to make black group together with mom, speak of to make black group, but little not Ai Cao of —— of a kind of important material. Then, I and mom are carried on basket goes picking Ai Cao in wild country. Ai Cao's leaf is aeruginous, resemble small maple part of a historical period, the reverse side is silvery white, as catching the frost of a white. I picked an Ai Cao, put to the side of nose to be heard, it is smelly unexpectedly smelly. I very feel puzzled: So smelly smelly plant can you make delicate black group unexpectedly?
今年清明节，我想和妈妈一起做青团，说起做青团，可少不了一种重要材料——艾草。于是，我和妈妈拎上篮子去野地里摘艾草。艾草的叶子是青绿色的，像小小的枫叶，背面是银白色的，如同染上一层白色的霜。我摘了一棵艾草，放到鼻子边一闻，居然是臭臭的。我很纳闷：这么臭臭的植物居然能做出美味的青团？
Return the home, we wash Ai Cao clean first, put into boiling water, ai Cao contaminates water slowly green, resemble the lake water of one bark verdure. Grandma boiler of Ai Cao fish out, squeeze dry, put into juicer, extract Cheng Aicao to paper. Then, the grandma pours Ai Cao paste into snow-white and snow-white ground rice slowly, snow-white ground rice was caught slowly of green. Then, grandma emphatically kneads ground rice ah knead, ground rice turned a dark green big fat pink into the group. Subsequently, the small dose that the grandma separates group of big fat pink into each child, small dose child knead each small a round mass of food. Green green small a round mass of food resembles a big treasure of a verdure bead, bleach full marks / extremely bright. The grandma hands me a small a round mass of food, I am held on a round mass of food with two thumb gave a small hole, toward inside crowded stuffing of sweet sweetened bean taste. Finally, I zip cut, held the figure of floret, a black group has been done. The brother also runs add trouble to, he holds small ball into dinosaurian appearance unexpectedly, group of a dinosaurian blueness was born. The edge plays to do by the side of us, hold gave various black groups. The grandma looked, check at once: “ no good, ancestor looked to dare not eat! ”
回到家，我们先把艾草洗干净，放进沸水里，艾草慢慢把水染绿了，像一汪碧绿的湖水。奶奶把艾草捞出锅，挤干，放进榨汁机，榨成艾草糊。接着，奶奶把艾草糊慢慢地倒入雪白雪白的米粉中，雪白的米粉就慢慢地被染成了绿色的。接着，奶奶用力地将米粉揉啊揉啊，米粉就变成了一个碧绿的大胖粉团。随后，奶奶把大胖粉团分成了一个个的小剂子，又把小剂子揉成一个个小丸子。绿绿的小丸子就像一颗颗碧绿的大宝珠，漂满分/亮极了。奶奶把一个小丸子递给我，我用两个大拇指在丸子上捏出了一个小坑，往里面塞满了香甜的豆沙馅。最后，我把口子封上，捏成了小花的形状，一个青团就做好了。弟弟也跑过来凑热闹，他竟把小丸子捏成了恐龙的形状，一个恐龙青团诞生了。我们边玩边做，捏出了各种各样的青团。奶奶看了，连忙制止：“要不得哦，祖宗看了都不敢吃了！”
Finishing hind, the grandma forms black group trimly on Zong leaf, put into a pot for steaming food. After 15 minutes, blast trail came to a fragrance, I and little brother are so greedy that I and little brother saliva wanted to flow. The black group that just gave boiler is popular sweet soft, appearance each different: Some is so flat that some resemble a leaf, the resembles just making full energy of life rubber ball of some round billow, some resembles green floret, return some to resemble lovely small dinosaur.
完工后，奶奶把青团整齐地排列在粽叶上，放进蒸锅里。15分钟后，阵阵香味飘出来了，我和弟弟馋得口水都要流下来了。刚出锅的青团香香软软，形状各异：有的扁得像树叶，有的圆滚滚的像刚打满气的皮球，有的像绿色的小花，还有的像可爱的小恐龙。
Ground of my too impatient to wait placed to be put in mouth with the chopstick, of sweetened bean taste sweet as round as blueness soft glutinous interweaves together, extremely delicate, be like whole spring to spread in mouth. Tomorrow ancestor of hold a memorial ceremony for when, the my late father that I miss to ask my home people the Pure Brightness cate that will taste me to do, in order to express the feeling of the longing of family member of our opposite age.
我迫不及待地用筷子夹了一口放在嘴巴里，豆沙的香甜与青团的软糯交织在一起，美味极了，好像整个春天都在嘴巴里蔓延开来。明天祭祖的时候，我想请我家的先人们来尝一尝我做的清明美食，以表达我们对过世亲人的思念之情。
I like to make black group, also like tomb-sweeping day!
我喜欢做青团，也喜欢清明节！(文/姚盛潼)
