CHAPTER XLII

Considering the rules of the fair, the first part of the exhibition, parents take the cubs to run their own stalls, and the children must participate in the exhibition. Each family will get a certain amount of sunflowers, sunflowers are the currency of the exhibition, children can use sunflowers to buy the goods and services they want, the exhibition lasts for a day, the day begins at 5 o'clock in the afternoon to calculate the final sunflowers of the cubs. For this reason, Yan Xu felt that the key to determining the exhibits was to attract everyone's attention. After thinking about it for two days, Yan Xu planned to make two kinds of food.

The first is that I am a steamed bun shop, so I naturally want to make steamed buns. As for the type of steamed buns, the preface chooses crab roe soup dumplings this time. The source of crab roe is still the water spirit star, and the aquatic products of that planet are very rich, which can always meet the requirements of the preface. As for the second type, Yan Xu decided to make a sweet dish that attracts children - Shuixin Xuan Cake. This cake was originally made with glutinous rice flour, but later changed to jelly flour, which looks crystal clear and like water beads.

It's okay this day, someone is watching in front of the bun shop, and Yan Xu is trying to make crab roe soup dumplings and Shuixin Xuan cakes in the back kitchen. Crab roe soup dumplings, when made, are mainly fillings. Prepare the filling, wrap the buns, and steam them in the pot. As for the Shuixin Xuan Cake, it is correspondingly troublesome. To make a transparent Shingen cake, you can use something like agar and white jelly.

The agar preface has not found any substitutes that can be used, so I can only make my own cold powder. The jelly is mainly made of peas, and there are peas in the space, so it is not a problem that the process is troublesome. After doing a good job of jelly, the work is not so troublesome. Add water and sugar to a pot, bring to a boil and reduce to medium heat, keeping it slightly boiling. At this time, you can add the prepared white jelly, wait for the white jelly to melt thoroughly and then continue to cook for two to three minutes before turning off the heat.

Originally, the cherry blossoms that could be salted in the water letter Xuan cake, but now there are no cherry blossoms in the preface, so they are replaced with sunflowers. There are many kinds of sunflowers in the imperial capital, and in order to attract children, the pink and bright yellow ones were chosen for the preface. It looks lively and eye-catching. Wash the florets, hold the flower stalks with chopsticks, and gently press them into a grinding tool filled with water powder. Some petals are not unfolded, so the preface is pressed up and down with chopsticks, and when the petals are completely unfolded, they can be placed at room temperature to rest. In about an hour, it can be formed. Put the abrasive upside down on the plate, and you can see the beautiful water letter cake.

While resting, the preface made some dipping sauce with the ingredients at hand. Put it on a small plate and put it on the side of the cake, and the beautiful cake is ready. Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Xu went to the kindergarten to pick up the two little cubs.

Sure enough, as soon as they saw the transparent sunflower cake, the two little cubs were stunned. The soft Miao Miao also poked it with her hand and asked, "Uncle Yan, is this a waterdrop cake?" ”

"Yes, it's the waterdrop cake that Miao Miao said, but there are sunflowers in it, so it's a sunflower waterdrop cake. Taste it? ”

The cutlery was brought to the little cubs, and the two little ones couldn't wait to start eating. With a satisfied look, Yan Xu was more confident about the garden fair that would come in two days.

After eating the dessert, Yan Xu took the two little cubs to paint, and asked Miao Miao casually: "Will Miao Miao's father come to the garden fair next week?" ”

The paintbrush in Miao Miao's hand stopped, looked up at Yan Xu, and paused for a while before saying, "During the garden fair, can Miao Miao be in a group with Uncle Yan and Dada?" Dad is very busy at work......" Miao Miao's words were not finished, and the preface was probably known. He was not happy to hear in his heart, what kind of parent is this? Usually you don't care if you don't ask, but you only have a garden party once a year, so can't you take the time to come?

"What does Miao Miao's father do?" Yan Xu always knew that they were busy people, but he really didn't ask about the specific work.

"My dad is a diplomat!" Speaking of her father's profession, Miao Miao looked very proud. "Lianyun's father is often on aliens, and Sikong's father is in the administration department, and he is very busy and rarely goes home." The front is still proud, and the back is a little lost. Sure enough, it's still a child. Parents can't be with their children, which is definitely a pity for children.

Yan Xu touched Miao Miao distressedly and comforted: "Miao Miao's fathers are very amazing fathers, so they can give birth to such a wonderful Miao Miao." ”

Dada also chimed in: "Yes, Miao Miao is the best." It doesn't matter if Dad can't come, Miao Miao can join us to ensure that Miao Miao can earn a lot of sunflowers. ”

As soon as the children talked about the sunflowers, they began to chatter about the performance. Regarding the fact that Lian's parents don't come, there is no way to say the preface, so let's ask Gu Yuan again in the evening.

Time flickered, and two days passed peacefully. Compared to the highly tense state of the task, Gu Yuan enjoyed the current peaceful life very much. Although his daughter-in-law is not as willing to be close to him as he was at the beginning, he is not rejected by him some time ago, and he feels that he is slowly infiltrating his daughter-in-law's life and completely returning to the newly married state, and it doesn't seem to be long before he is completely married. It's just that on the mission side, I have to work harder. If the dust doesn't settle for a day, you can't be completely relieved for a day.

Because of the Sunflower Kindergarten fair, Whitewater Street is restricted from traffic for a week. Several blocks near the street were filled with flying machines. At this time, Yan Xu felt that his choice was very correct, and the decision to buy a school district house would not be wrong at any time!

With Dada and Miao Miao, as well as Gu Yuan, Yan Rui, and Lian Butler, who came to join in the fun, the group began to prepare their own exhibition booths. Yan Xu was mainly responsible for making food, the two little cubs and the housekeeper were helping on the side, while Gu Yuan and Yan Rui were responsible for decorating the stall. They belong to food stalls, so the more beautiful the decoration, the more attractive it is.

The preparations were made quickly, and originally heard that it was a steamed bun stall with a preface, and many parents had planned to come to line up for a long time, but when they saw that Major General Gu and Brigadier General Yan were standing on the edge of the stall, they were a little afraid to step forward. But there are always a few who are not afraid of people, Simon and Solo are those few, they are already frequent customers of the bun shop, and they have already been gearing up when they hear that the little boss is going to come out with new buns. This time, I relied on my brother to bring it to join in the fun. Fortunately, the little nephew is also studying in Sunflower.

also lost to Solo, and many people who were watching followed and lined up behind. A lot of Major General Gu's face fans, as well as Brigadier General Yan's sister fans, all moved closer to this side. The exhibition stalls lined up for a whole street, and the preface was lively here, and the other stalls were not weak. There are always some parents who don't want to line up, so they take their cubs to other stalls.

Yan Xu considered the problem of quantity and prepared as many ingredients as possible, but there were hundreds of people in the kindergarten, even if it was one per person, it would take a lot of time, so for those foodie customers who had to pack after eating, Yan Xu took a secret weapon - Dada and Miao Miao, who have the skills of selling cuteness. The two round cubs were in front of the stall, collecting safflower and distributing ingredients, and they cooperated very tacitly. The group photo requirements of Dada's sister and aunt fans are also met one by one, and the two little cubs have made a lot of money.

With Gu Yuan and Yan Rui here, the booth of Yan Xujia "Dada & Miao Miao" is quite orderly. In less than an hour, the prepared food was sold. Dada and Miao Miao's pockets were also full of sunflowers. A few people began to browse other exhibition stalls.

Many parents seem to have the same idea as the preface, and there are still a lot of new stalls to come up with. The two little cubs were attracted by a mask stall, one person picked one, Miao Miao also picked a rabbit mask for the old housekeeper, and as for Yan Xu and Gu Yuan, they were also forced to put two on by Dada. Yan Rui, who was serious and straight-faced, did not escape.

He looked extremely reluctant to be pulled by Dada and squatted down, but in fact, he was very happy, and after putting on the mask, he curled the corners of his mouth when no one was looking. even secretly used his brain to take a picture of him wearing a mask with Dada, and quickly uploaded it to the family album on the interstellar network. It was liked many times in less than ten seconds. There are also parents of the Yan family who left comments saying that they must bring Yan Xiaoxu home earlier.

Regarding the current state of Yan Xu, Yan Rui also said to the patriarch of the Yan family, he can't force it. When he wants to go back, he will always go back. Yan Rui accidentally fell behind, looking at the backs of Gu Yuan and his own Xiaoxu in front of him, although he didn't want to admit it, he was really a good match.

Except for Gu Yuan, can anyone else stand side by side with Xiao Xu like this? Yan Rui thought of Wei Cheng, that kid from the Wei family, didn't he like to revolve around Xiaoxu when he was a child, why did he seem to have stopped a lot recently. secretly kept Wei Cheng's matter in mind, and I had to check it out when I had time. Xiao Xu was tied up by Wei Feng not long ago, and Wei Cheng, this kid must pay attention.

Unconsciously, they had already walked most of the street, and the two little cubs were also sweating, and Gu Yuan proposed to find a restaurant to eat together. Originally, they could go home, but Gu Yuan didn't want to make Yan Xu tired anymore. After all, I've been busy for so long today, so let's just go outside.

After eating a meal, Yan Xu also has some understanding of the Lian family. Miao Miao's father, Lian Yun, is the chief diplomat of the empire and often travels to other galaxies, while the other father, Si Kongyu, has been in the administration department for a long time. Although the administrative department is not as good as the military department, there are many daily chores. Miao Miao used to only be taken care of by the housekeeper, but the housekeeper sometimes couldn't take care of him, but now with Dada's friend, Miao Miao is also much more cheerful.

After eating and walking around for a while, the first part of the garden fair is about to end. Probably because they didn't eat well at noon, Yan Xu told Gu Yuan to look at the child and go to the toilet by themselves when they were settling. As soon as he left their booth two steps, he found himself being followed.

The feeling of being followed last time is not far away, and the preface is more alert this time. In a short time, after thinking about it quickly, he still had to go to a crowded place, but before he could turn around, he was tapped on the shoulder. This time, the person is different from last time, if there is a bad intention, the preface is estimated to have been kidnapped again. was tied up before, and Yan Xu didn't know what the purpose of those people was. But now that I know that it is not the same group of people, my heart has unconsciously let go of a little. Turning around, the person in front of him was a little unexpected. 166 Reading Network
