Chapter 8: Into the City

In fact, Lin Jiagou is not remote, Lin Yu walks slowly, and it takes less than an hour to walk to the city. But after all, it's a big girl, and it's not like that to walk alone in the barren mountains and mountains, so Sun said that he would take Taicai, and Lin Yu responded in one bite.

Rural people usually have no leisure, let alone spare money to go shopping, so before the New Year's Festival, people in the village rarely go to the city. Taicai relied on his young age and relied on him, so his family could take him into the city several times during the New Year's Festival. But this time he entered the city, Taicai was obviously much happier, because this time he entered the city with the aunt he admired. The child is small, as if he is tireless, bouncing next to Lin Yu, very cheerful.

As soon as he saw Liyun's city gate, Taicai screamed happily, and Lin Yu couldn't suppress his smile and ran to the city with Taicai.

Last time, because he was in a hurry to go back to Linjiagou, Lin Yu didn't look at the county seat very carefully, this time I looked, Liyun County is worthy of being a border county, selling very rich things, eating, drinking, wearing, playing, everything.

Taicai looked at the rock sugar gourd inserted in the tall grass bunch for a while, looked at the marionette that the stall owner was playing with, and looked at the hot and fragrant * tea in the big bowl of people, and was overwhelmed. But he was still well-behaved, and he didn't shout for this or that.

People say that seven or eight years old is the age to hate dogs, but no matter what Taicai does at home, he can show that he is so well-behaved, and Lin Yu still feels very comforted.

Both of them got up early in the morning to eat a piece of steamed buns, and then worked and hurried, and three hours have passed, Lin Yu feels that he is so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back, not to mention Taicai, who is growing his body?

So Lin Yu chose a wonton stall and ordered two bowls of wontons stuffed with pork and cabbage.

Taicai has never eaten a few wontons since he was a child, but it is very good to eat dumplings every year, let alone wontons? So as soon as the wontons came up, they immediately filled one and put it in their mouths.

I only heard Tai Choi say "hmm" in pain, and a large wonton fell to the ground.

Lin Yu knew that Taicai was burned, so he hurriedly asked, "Is it burned?" ”

Taicai covered his mouth, with tears in his eyes, and didn't dare to say a word.

Lin Yu quickly took his hand away and said gently: "Quickly open your mouth and let my aunt see if it is burned." ”

Taicai opened his mouth to show Lin Yu, and the tip of his tongue was a little white.

"It hurts, doesn't it?" Lin Yu said distressedly.

"It doesn't hurt." Taicai replied vaguely.

Lin Yu shook his head with a sigh and asked the shopkeeper to bring some warm water. "Come, take a few sips and let your tongue slow down."

Taicai drank the water that Lin Yu fed him, and at the same time shed big tears.

"Why are you crying? It still hurts, doesn't it? Lin Yu asked.

Taicai took another sip and then stopped talking. said: "I just thought that if the wonton fell to the ground, my aunt would beat me." ”

"Silly boy, it's not your fault that you ate in a hurry, why would my aunt beat you?" As he spoke, he gently wiped away the tears from Taicai's face with his hand.

Taicai pursed his mouth and said, "Auntie, you are so good." ”

"Okay, let's eat ravioli. Eat slowly this time, you can't eat until it's cold! Lin Yu said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Taicai nodded heavily.

The wontons are very affordable, there are ten big ones in a bowl, plus the soup with shredded cabbage, minced cress, sesame oil and chopped green onions, how delicious it is, it makes Lin Yu and Taicai panic.

Lin Yu inquired about the stall owner and knew that there were two dim sum shops in the county, both of which were on this street. I inquired again, there is a big farmers' market at the end of this street, and there will be a big market on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, but it is going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so this time the big market will be changed to the fourteenth. There are everything sold on the big set, but if you want to set up a stall, you need to buy a pair of cards from the yacha at the entrance of the market tomorrow, and the pair of cards is five cents, covering an area of one square (about 3.3 square meters). If you want a good location, you have to go early.

After inquiring about this, Lin Yu walked towards the pastry shop.

The two pastry shops are not far away, only half a pillar of incense at a distance. One is called Li Kee Dim Sum Shop, and the other is called Chen Kee Taste Zhai. Li Ji is closer to the taste of the public, and in addition to the popular moon cakes sold in the shop, there are some milk sachets, fluffy cakes, tarts, small rolls, jujube flowers, etc. Chen Ji's taste is higher, mostly osmanthus cakes, Fu'er cakes, crystal buns, horseshoe cakes, mille-feuille cakes, etc. On the moon cakes, Chen Ji only has traditional sugar kernel filling, and Chen Ji has more kinds of flower filling. However, the moon cakes with a hundred flowers are more expensive, the ordinary moon cakes cost three yuan, and the one with a hundred flowers is eight dollars, which is more than twice as expensive.

Lin Yu couldn't just watch it and not buy it, he bought two pieces of each pastry, and he had the right to try the things that are trending now. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

After buying the pastries, Lin Yu went to the grocery store to buy four pastry molds, there are two kinds of "good flowers" and "full moon", a total of two models. I also bought some straw paper for packaging.

After leaving the grocery store, Lin Yu led Taicai to the grain store and bought ten catties of white noodles, as well as five kernels and sugar in pastries. I went to a cloth store and bought a few feet of cotton gauze.

Everything was complete, and the time was approaching, Lin Yu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly walked home with Taicai.

On the way back, Taicai was happier than when he came, after all, he was full of food and drink, and his whole body seemed to have endless energy.

Lin Yu inquired and understood what he was going to do tomorrow, and he also felt full of strength.

When I got home, the sun set. However, the small courtyard of the Lin family was very lively, and it turned out that Daquan and Taifu had also returned from hunting.

Daquan and Da Zhuang's father and two other families, a total of four families hit a wild boar together, weighing more than 200 catties. In addition, Daquan also caught a rabbit, four pheasants and two snakes.

The pigs were killed in Da Zhuang's family, and each family could get forty catties of meat and some goods. The rest of the pig's blood and pig's head were eaten at Da Zhuang's house that night. The other three took some greens and water wine.

After dinner at Da Zhuang's house, it was already time to hold the lamp.

Sun remembered to make dim sum with Lin Yu to make money, and he also rushed back after eating at Da Zhuang's house.

During the day, Sun had already helped Lin Yu steam the pumpkin, and Lin Yu was much more relaxed at night.

After making the syrup, some use sugar noodles to make the skin, and then use pumpkin to make the filling; Some use pumpkin and flour for the skin, and syrup and nuts for the filling. But no matter what kind of moon cake it is, the flour must be fried first, and sometimes an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour must be added, so that the link of baking moon cakes is omitted, and it is formed at one time, which is simple and delicious.

Of course, after watching the mooncakes from the two dim sum shops in the afternoon, Lin Yu was even more determined to make mooncakes and sell them, because there should be no oven at this time, and all the dim sum is steamed.

In addition, Lin Yu also made some pumpkin-shaped snacks, which are also the fillings of praline hearts, which are neatly stacked in the pot and steamed for more than ten minutes, which looks very cute.

After putting everything away, Lin Yu and Sun climbed onto the kang to sleep.

And the three men in the family had already fallen asleep because they had been tired all day.

Tomorrow should be full of hope. Lin Yu thought.
