Chapter 212: The Miserable Contest

Xu Yanniang looked at the few browned pancakes on the plate, although they were a little different from the pancakes she had eaten, but she felt that there was obviously nothing special except for the small size and the moist dough.

"Ranran, what is this?"

"It's called...... Rosin crackers. Come on, you try it and see if it tastes good. ”

Ran Ran wrapped a piece of oil paper and handed it to Xu Yanniang, and when she saw her take a bite carefully, her eyes suddenly lit up. Under the burnt yellow and crispy skin, a layer of tender green dough, soft and glutinous fragrance, and a delicate and sweet taro paste in the middle, both in color vision and taste, made Xu Yanniang jump up excitedly.

"What is this stuff made of, it's so delicious!" She finished one rosin cake in a few bites, but when she reached out to take the second one, she was stopped by Ranran, and she had to take a big sip of tea before she could continue eating.

It's rare for her to cook by herself, although the previous production process is still to find a kitchen OEM, but this time she can bake it by the stove herself. So Xu Yanniang's cheering made her feel proud, "In fact, the material is very simple, it is steamed and ground into a puree with a sweet potato, kneaded into a ball with flour, wrapped in taro puree, pressed into a cake, and baked." However, the most important thing about this rosin cake is that it is not ordinary firewood fire, but pine towers. I remember eating it when I was a child, and then I made it a few times with my aunt, but I couldn't taste it. Later, I thought that it might be because of the firewood, my aunt used to burn it out directly in an iron pot, and this one was smoked and dried. ”

The rosin cake baked directly in an iron pot still cannot be called a rosin cake strictly speaking, but can only be said to be an ordinary taro paste cake. It's just a name that has been inherited from the local characteristics. It's just that you can spend your time collecting the rosin cakes that are slowly baked by the pine tower are nowhere to be found, and the most common thing is to look at the pot and fry the dough to finish. But the rosin crust that is fried in an iron pan is hard. No fragrance, the key is that it absorbs oil easily. And baked with a pine tower, you can bake the lard kneaded into the taro paste itself to moisten the dough, so that the cake is fragrant but not greasy.

Ran Ran missed the chestnuts on Yunshan a little, and thought that if the taro paste was replaced with chestnut paste, it must be extremely delicious. "Two days ago, I saw a child playing with a pine tower, and I thought about trying it out. Sure enough, it tasted a lot. ”

"Then you can ask your aunt to make it for you to eat in the future." Xu Yanniang finally stopped when she finished eating the third one.

Although the baked rosin cake is not greasy, it is a sweet tooth, and it is easy to get flatulent after eating too much. She has been fed by Rana every day recently, and her waist has been rounded a few times.

"My aunt is gone." Ranran's smile froze, neither the previous mother nor the current mother, she had no chance to see her. "Now it's just me and my brother who are left to survive. I wanted to go to my relatives. Results ......"

Xu Yanniang saw Ran Ran with such a sad expression for the first time, and then she became sad, and patted her hand to comfort: "It's okay, we will definitely go out." ”

Ran Ran raised her eyes, raised her eyebrows, and nodded appreciatively: "It's a good thing that you have this mentality, remember, don't get along with yourself at any time." There is only one life, and there is such a thing as a good man after eighteen years. Only a fool would believe it. That's all for the next life, are you sure you can still see your father and mother in this life? Therefore, as long as you can live, no grievances are a problem, and everything is possible when you live. ”

obviously wanted to comfort people, but in the end, the number of people chattered, Xu Yanniang's face was a little ashamed, "Ranran, I didn't expect me to be a few years older than you, but I asked you to say it in turn, which really makes me ashamed." Actually, I know that my dad won't come to save me, but I don't give up. I also know that Lu Wanjin is good to me, but no matter how good he is, he is not as good as my heartless father in my heart. ”

The first time I saw Xu Yanniang willing to take the initiative to mention the family, Ran Ran also listened to her carefully, "How do you know that your father will not come to save you." ”

Xu Yanniang reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing an ugly smile, but her eyes drooped, turning into a sigh: "If he wanted to come, he would have brought someone here a long time ago, with his connections in Moshan County, wouldn't he know that I was arrested by Lu Wanjin." It's been a month, and there's not even a single news, so he must have forgotten about me a long time ago. ”

Less than two years after Xu Anren's death, Xu Yuanwai accepted the stepfamily, and Xu Yanniang, who was already married at that time, naturally would not say anything to refuse. But when she found out that her stepmother was not only pregnant with Rokka, but also a three-year-old boy, she suddenly set on fire, causing someone to burn down her father's cave and kill the stepmother who refused to recognize him. The daughter who has always cared for her in the palm of her hand suddenly said that she would turn her face, and she embarrassed herself in front of all the guests, while comforting her frightened wife, Xu Yuanwai was so angry that someone locked Xu Yanniang up.

No matter how Xu Yanniang made trouble, her stepmother still welcomed her into the door, but the enmity between the two was planted. So far, Xu Yanniang thinks that her stepmother betrayed her affairs to Lu Wanjin, and she also stopped her father from saving her, so she wants to go back and will never let her father and stepmother live a stable life.

Ran Ran is most used to seeing her children speak ill of their parents, but she can't make trouble about the Xu family's family affairs, so she can only comfort: "Maybe something is delayed, or Lu Wanjin's ability is too big, and he can't get in." ”

Xu Yanniang nodded at her gratefully, "Thank you, you don't have to comfort me, I know what kind of person my father is, he told Lu Wanjin everything about me and Brother Chang in order to beg Lu Wanjin to let him go." Otherwise, I wouldn't have been arrested, and Brother Chang wouldn't have ......" Thinking of the tragic death of her sweetheart, Xu Yanniang's emotions that had been suppressed for so long finally collapsed.

Ran Ran could hear Xu Yanniang's cry this time was really sad, but she was not good at comforting, so she could only hand her a silk, "Yanniang, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad." ”

Xu Yanniang raised her teary eyes, her eyes showed a fierce light, and scolded viciously: "But how can he be so ruthless, kill Brother Chang, and kill Xiaorou." ”

Ran Ran pursed her lips, remembering that Xu Yanniang was much worse than her, she was taken captive to be the wife of the village, the maid and her lover died, and her father and stepmother who had a bad relationship were unwilling to take care of her, which put her in a dilemma. "Yanniang, don't be too sad. Otherwise, I'll find a way for you to worship Xiaorou and them, and forget the memory in your heart. ”

Xu Yanniang suddenly stopped crying and looked at Ran Ran with anticipation: "Will he agree?" ”

Ran Ran smiled and stroked her head, and said softly: "How do you know if you don't try, but remember, don't yell at him anymore, it's under people's roofs now, not in your house." As far as she inquired about these days in Heifeng Village, Lu Wanjin didn't look like a ruthless person in Xu Yanniang's mouth at all, and it was said that the only person he killed was the former owner of the village, a vicious snake.

So when she heard Xu Yanniang mention the maid Xiaorou again, Ran Ran couldn't help but wonder in her heart, with Lu Wanjin coaxing Xu Yanniang's emotions so carefully, how could she kill her maid, isn't it clear that she can't get along with herself. (To be continued......)
