131 Portrait story, making pastries

"Yo, that's a great drawing! Look at the three children again, they are all the same, with not thick hair on the top of their heads, and then their mouths are flat, as if they are about to cry. Plus you're triplets, so except for the different colors of the swaddlings, it's really exactly the same! Guan Lao was the first to comment.

"Yes! Look at them all with flat mouths, and then the one on the left still has tears in his eyes, as if he wants to cry, and looks like he has just cried. When the triplets were in swaddling clothes, they were really almost identical, and it was impossible to tell who they were! Lou Qingyang also commented, he also came over to see it on a whim. But it was precisely because of this rise that he saw the family painting with a smile, and he could see that when she painted this painting, she invested in her intentions and feelings, which was very good.

"Sister, is this really what we were like when we were kids? So which one is the little sister and which one is us? Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhan Xiaotian watched for a long time, and finally Zhan Xiaoyu, as a representative, asked. Naturally, they don't know what they were like when they were young, so the only person they can ask now is to smile.

"Yes, that's what you've been like for forty days. At that time, as soon as I woke up, I saw my father and mother standing by the bed looking at us, and the three of you didn't know whether you were hungry or urinating, and you wanted to cry with your flat mouth, and finally my mother picked up my little sister, and my father picked up you brothers left and right, coaxed you, and you didn't cry. Zhan Xiaoyan was still smiling, telling the story of the painting, and confirming that the baby on it was them.

"Well, that sister, you are really good at drawing! I don't know if you can paint a few more pictures for us, when we were one year old, when we were two years old, when we were three years old, and when we were four years old, because when my father died, the three of us were almost five years old, sister, you have painted us every year in the past few years, and we didn't have it before the age of five, so now I know what I looked like when I was a child, and it's also very good! ”

Zhan Xiaotian took over and said, more eyes fell on his father's mother, who was very young at that time, with a satisfied smile on his face, thinking that it was because of their triplets. I believe that if their parents were still there and hadn't left them so early, they would be the happiest family of six.

"Good! But I won't paint today, it's time for lunch, and when my sister has time, I'll paint a few, and I'll paint myself, just four of us, and my father and mother will paint together. Zhan smiled and agreed. This is a convenient thing, and when she is not busy, she can do it, especially these days, it is the New Year, and the shops on the street are not open, so she stays at home, which is very boring, and it is also good to draw to pass the time.

After dinner, everyone sat down to eat fruit, Uncle Fang had already sorted out all the couplets written, there were a total of forty-two couplets, basically one person wrote five or six pairs, that is, Uncle Fang, also dictated three pairs, let Zhan Xiaotian write it down. So when it was sorted out, there were so many couplets, and by the end of the writing, everyone didn't care if they were writing about the New Year.

"Uncle Fang, fold these couplets one by one, you keep ten pairs, and put the rest in the box, and when we go back, we can bring them all back." Zhan said with a smile. Because she had only written three couplets, but the others probably wanted to bring them back, so it was enough to keep ten.

"No, Miss, just leave the three pairs written by the old slave, and let the Lady take the rest back. After all, there are only two of us old guys in this exhibition house, and we don't have to post couplets during the New Year, today is just a whim. But Miss, can you tell the old slave the specific time of your departure, so that we can be prepared! As Fang Bo spoke, he began to fold the couplets, one by one, very carefully. He didn't know a few words, but he could barely write his own name, so he cherished books and paper very much.

The next day, Guan Lao called Yan Qihao, Lou Qingyang, and the brothers to play football in the yard, although there were only five people, but they were able to play very happily, sweating in such weather, and then taking a good hot bath, it would be very good. Zhan Xiaoyan came out with Zhan Xiaoning, sat in the corridor and watched them play football, Zhan Xiaoning just listened to the movements of the five of them, and could imagine their activities, which was very lively.

"Alright, come and rest and have a cup of tea!" Seeing that they had been playing for half an hour in a row, Zhan smiled and said while pouring five cups of tea. In such weather, even if the tea is piping hot, after pouring it out, it will not take long for it to turn into warm water, and even if they are sweating, they can't let them drink cold water, which is not good for the stomach.

"Hehe, in such weather, it's really good to have a good exercise! I was sweating all over my body, and I just felt that my whole body was hot, and after taking a shower, I would definitely be able to sleep well. I knew that I should come back to play football in the afternoon, but it is still morning, and I have to have lunch, and I can't exercise too much, so as not to eat immediately after exercising, which will cause indigestion! Yan Qihao said as he sat down. Although the person who said that he wanted to play football at the beginning was Guan Lao, they were also very serious about it, so the sports were hearty.

"Okay, you've been playing for half an hour, and it's almost the end of the day, if you want to continue, then wait until the afternoon to play. Even though it's only halfway through the hour and it's still more than an hour before noon, you can take a shower and wash off the sweat on your body, and if you want to get some sleep, you don't have to wait until the afternoon to sleep. After all, as you just said, after exercising and sweating, after bathing, it's good to take a good rest, even if it's just for half an hour, as long as you feel comfortable! ”

Zhan Xiaoyan saw that the five people had quickly finished drinking this cup of tea, so he hurriedly refilled the cup for them, knowing that several people needed to drink a few cups of tea at this time. Sure enough, it was good to show a smile, and a few people immediately served it on the first voyage, and then after blowing a few times, they drank it all in one gulp.

"Girl, in fact, I think you also need to exercise well, and then sweat, so that you will be the same as us. Okay, okay, we don't like you, let's go to the kitchen to get hot water and take a good bath. Guan Lao said, drank the cup of tea in one gulp, and then after putting down the teacup, he stood up and walked towards the kitchen, and the others also finished the tea in one gulp, and then followed.

Although this kind of exercise is very pleasant, but when I sit down and the whole person is quiet, after not exercising, the sweat will flow out from all parts of the body and get on the innermost clothes, which will be a little slimy and uncomfortable. In such a situation, of course, it is necessary to take a good shower as soon as possible.

"They! Xiao Ning, my sister can't play football, but my sister can kick shuttlecock, listen to my sister kick shuttlecock, my sister can still play tricks! Zhan Xiaoning said, took out a shuttlecock made of chicken tails, and began to kick.

At the beginning, the shuttlecock was naturally on the foot, and then slowly kicked to the top of the head, with the top of the head, back to the leg again, the right leg hooked, and then to the left leg, and then kicked the shuttlecock high, the whole person turned twice, just to catch the falling shuttlecock. Every trick can be named with a name, so when Zhan Xiaoyan is changing and moving, he will explain it to Zhan Xiaoning, and he will not stop his movements until he has kicked three hundred.

"Huhu, Xiao Ning, when your eyes regain sight, if you want to kick the shuttlecock, my sister can also teach you, because girls, if you want to be able to exercise, kicking the shuttlecock is the most suitable choice. Okay, my sister is going to make a snack, just make your favorite red bean cake and purple potato cake, if you want to come along, you can also go straight to the room! Zhan Xiaoyan said, and took Zhan Xiaoning's hand, the kitchen and Zhan Xiaoning's room are in the same direction, but if Zhan Xiaoning goes back to the room, he still needs to walk through one more corridor.

"Okay, girl, you made delicious food, but fortunately I didn't go to bed! Are you making dim sum? Can you make another dish of egg yolk cake? It was a pastry I hadn't eaten in a long time, and the last time I had it was years ago. Girl, the method of egg yolk cake is similar to that of ordinary dim sum, but it is sandwiched with egg yolk, and it is salty, so it is called this name, I don't know if you can make it for me once? ”

Zhan Xiaoyan pinched the square shape of the dim sum, and was putting them one by one into the abrasive made of wood to print, Guan Lao walked in, and after watching her movements, he asked. And looking at the expression of memory and emotion on his face, he knew that this snack must have a special meaning for him.

Yan Xiao said with a smile, and then entrusted the printing matter to Aunt Fu'er, and here she started beating eggs. She has made egg yolk cake, and knows that it is not only necessary to add egg yolk, but also to add plum blossoms or chrysanthemums and lotus flowers in season, so that the aroma of flowers can completely enter the dim sum, and then when eating, you can fill your mouth with the taste of egg yolk when you bite into it.

Half an hour later, the printing of the three pastries was completed, Zhan Xiaoyan brought the steamer, took a total of three layers, and put the three pastries layer by layer according to the different types, and the fire was naturally already lit, Zhan Xiaoyan and Aunt Fu carried the three-layer steamer to the stove and put it away, and finally covered the lid and began to pay attention to the heat, which took more than a quarter of an hour to be baked.

"Absolutely! But grandpa, if you wait for me to do it badly, don't say it's not delicious, even if it's just to save face, you must say it's delicious! At noon, the few people who had just gone to sleep had already woken up, and the lunch Zhan Xiaoyan and Aunt Fu had also been prepared, and of course, the goat milk for Bai Junya had also been warmed, so everyone sat in the dining room and looked at the three pastries that were served first.

"Okay, the dishes are all ready, let's start eating! These three pastries are red bean cake, purple potato cake and egg yolk cake, you can sandwich a piece of each before eating to taste the taste, if you want to eat more, then wait until after eating. The reason why they are now on the table is because they are cooked half an hour before all the dishes are finished, and then they are served a quarter of an hour ago, and naturally they are a little cold, so you can taste them first. ”

Zhan Xiaoyan said as he sat down, and then sandwiched a piece of egg yolk cake and ate it first. Because of the other two pastries she usually makes, only this egg yolk cake, or because Guan Lao mentioned it, she will make it for the first time in this life, such a season, the natural addition is the petals of plum blossoms, I don't know how it tastes?

"Well, the taste is very good, this time Xiaoyan you have a good control of sweetness, this red bean cake is more flavorful than sweet, it is really delicious, even I, a person who doesn't usually like sweets, think it's very good." Yan Qihao was the first to comment, he was sandwiching red bean cake. The reason why he didn't go to the egg yolk cake right away was because he knew that as a man, everyone generally didn't like sweets very much, but looking at the three plates of pastries made by Zhan Xiaoyan this time with similar amounts, he knew that she didn't just plan to let a few people eat it, but let everyone eat it together

"Yes, the taste of this purple potato cake is the same, it is the taste of sweet sweet potatoes, and the taste of white sugar is not very delicious, it seems that you must be able to control the sweetness of Xiaoyan." Liang Shiyun followed. After conceiving this child, in addition to drowsiness, she became very fond of eating, no matter what the taste, she wanted to eat, but while eating, she did not forget to taste the taste, so the opinion at this time is also very pertinent.

"Okay, since you've all tasted it, let's hurry up and eat, if you want to eat again, just wait until you've eaten before eating, after all, don't delay the main meal!" Zhan smiled and said, first sandwiched a few pieces of meat and put them in the bowls of his three younger siblings, then sandwiched a piece of eggplant for himself, and began to eat.

Guan Lao had already eaten egg yolk cake just now, and Zhan Xiaoyan wanted to ask if he had made it tasted right, and whether it was the same as what he had eaten before? However, it can be seen from his expression that it is inconvenient for her to ask more at this time, and the egg yolk cake must have some story in his heart, which is only his own memory. Therefore, it is better to eat first, this question does not need to be asked to him again, and even if it is asked, it is definitely not now! (To be continued.) )
