"Brother, you still got this? The relationship between the sixth son and our family is so good, and picking up an ox cart is also a matter of one sentence, why do you still look for this and that, although the situation has been pretty good in the past two years, but these days are not very good, and what kind of snacks are wasted, brother, you better hurry up and let Hui Niang return these snacks! This thing is strange and expensive!" Li Changsuo looked at the two small baskets in front of him, which were not big but not small, and said, in his opinion, eating dim sum is a blessing that only those officials or rich people can enjoy.

"Although the second uncle said that it was a dim sum, it was not the kind bought in the shop on the street, but I made it myself, and it was also my father who gave me a long face to be a daughter, and said that it was a dim sum, in fact, it was just a steamed bun!" Li Hui said and uncovered the cloth covered with the bamboo basket, revealing the yellow-flour hair cake placed inside, and on top of the hair cake, Hui Niang put a circle of red dates as an embellishment.
"What? you did it yourself?" Li Changsuo took his eyes off the hair cake and asked his niece with wide eyes. Although the contents of the basket can be determined to be made of yellow rice noodles after a closer look, after adding a circle of red dates, the contents of this basket suddenly look different.
"I made it myself, in fact, I wanted to steam the steamed buns, but I didn't expect to make it good, so I made this kind of thing, but my father ate it and said that the taste was very good and soft, so I tried to make some as snacks!" Li Hui pretended to be very embarrassed and said, "By the way, there are still some in the kitchen, I'll give you a taste of it, second uncle!"
After Li Changsuo tasted a piece of Li Hui's hair cake, he nodded again and again to praise the deliciousness, and for his daughter, being able to be so capable made Li Changgen feel that his face was getting brighter and brighter, especially when he thought that he would have both children and daughters after passing the pillar over in a few days, and his mood was even better!

"Master, what are you getting back?" Chen Shi watched his man come back with two baskets and hurriedly greeted him, but when she took the basket and felt light, her face became a little unsightly, but she also knew that her man was unhappy in his heart for the matter of passing the boss to the big house in the past few days, so she also tried not to provoke him.
"This is a snack from the boss, you leave a basket for the child to eat, and I will carry the remaining basket to the sixth son's house, and I will borrow their ox cart on the sixth day of the next month, so you give me a basket to see, and the second child of the others will give them a disaster!" Li Changsuo told this Chen family with an unhappy face, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the second child and his daughter being greedy, why don't children have that gluttony, but during this time, after he often went to the eldest brother's house to see Hui Niang's child, he felt more and more that his two children were too ignorant.
"Dim Sum?" Hearing her man say this, Chen Shi suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly, and she secretly weighed the two baskets she was carrying in her hand, intending to see that there were more snacks in that basket.

"Mother, what is this thing, and there are dates on it?" Treasure asked curiously, looking at his mother there with a knife and cutting the pastry-like thing in front of her.
"Treasure, come and taste this!" Chen handed her daughter a small piece of hair cake, one of the two baskets of hair cake had been locked in the cabinet for her, and the rest of the basket of hair cake was also taken out by her, and a small slice was cut on top of each hair cake, because there was not a lot of cutting, so she could not see much difference.
In order not to let Li Changsuo see anything, so Chen didn't dare to cut too much hair cake, there were really not many such thin slices of hair cake, and the treasure was eaten up in just one bite, she chirped and said, "Mother, what is this? It's delicious!"
"This is the dim sum that your father brought back!" Chen carefully cut a mouthful of hair cake under his hand and said, as soon as she looked up, she saw that her daughter grabbed several more pieces of hair cake and stuffed it into her mouth, "You give me less food, your second brother hasn't eaten that yet!"
Chen reached out and slapped the back of her daughter's hand, but even this treasure did not drop the slice of hair cake she was holding.
"Mother, you're just eccentric, what's wrong with me eating, isn't there so much more!" said Jumbo unhappily.
"What do you know! These snacks will be sent to your sixth uncle's house by your father, saying that he will borrow someone's ox cart when he is on the sixth day of the new year!" Chen cut off some of the top of each piece of cake in the basket, and then put it in the basket from the new yard, still covered with cloth.
"Dad, what's the matter? These snacks have to be given to other people's families!" As soon as I heard my mother say this, I was reluctant to say that Zhenbao, although their family was also a relatively good family in the village, but it was difficult to eat dim sum and the like all year round, not to mention sugar or something, this kind of soft and sweet taste of jujube hair cake is definitely an irresistible delicacy.
"Shh~~~!" Chen hurriedly asked his daughter to shut down, "You whisper to me, your father brought back two baskets of this snack, I have put more than one basket away, and the rest of this basket is cutting off some of your brothers and sisters to eat first!"
"That's what it looks like!" Jumbo took advantage of Chen's distraction to pinch another piece of hair cake and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
"Don't eat it! your brother hasn't eaten it yet!" Seeing this, Chen quickly put the cut hair cake into a large bowl, and then put it in the cabinet and locked it up along with the other basket.
"Mother is so stingy!" Seeing the lock locked, Jumbo pouted and said, the sweet cake just now was so delicious, I knew it would be like this, and I could eat a little more just now.
Chen sent his daughter to find his second son to come back, and he went into the house to take the fourth child out and secretly stuffed him with two pieces of hair cake.
