Chapter 64, glutinous rice paper wrap Xiwang cake, linen cloth embroidered with blessing characters

On the third day of November in the twentieth year of Dading, there are two more days of heavy snow in the 24 solar terms. The north wind swept the remnants of snow on the ground, blowing painful faces.

Li Dalang slept early last night, and his body recovered very well at this time, and he took Erlang and San Lang to fight boxing in the yard for a while before dawn in the morning, and Situ Yan hadn't played military boxing for a long time, and his hands were a little itchy, so he practiced for a while, and then went into the stove room to cook breakfast.

Shiro is really a little bored at home these days, so he discussed with his little sister while he was having breakfast, "Little Five, I'm all right, let me help do something, I see that the light of the sky is lying down, and I feel uncomfortable." ”

Situ Yan thought that Shiro was not seriously injured, and he rested for three days, as long as he didn't do heavy work, it was okay to go out and move. "Okay, but there are two requirements."

Shiro jumped up from the kang happily, "Okay, say it quickly." ”

"One, you can't stay outside for more than half an hour. Second, do not do heavy work. ”

"Okay, I'll do it soon. In fact, I just went to help the second brother burn firewood, this is not tired, and it is not cold when it is close to the fire. Situ Yan also felt that this was feasible when she heard this, but she didn't forget to tell Erlang a few more words, so that he could be optimistic about Shiro.

"Big brother, today I will teach you to make "Xiwang cake", make more today and tomorrow, and then I will just take it to sell it in the market. Situ Yan wants to do business, and she has to take care of it, in case the cotton shoes can't be sold, it's good that the dim sum can be sold.

"Okay." Li Dalang was happy in his heart, he could sell it for money if he made dim sum, he could finally help his little sister make money, and he was very happy.

Situ Yan saw that Erlang's mood was a little low, and knew that he also wanted to learn from him, "Second brother, it's not that I don't teach you, but I want to teach you to do something else, and when you dig that water kiln, it's not too late to learn, and this is the first time our family has sold dim sum, and I don't know if we can sell it, if there are more styles and can't sell it, we will lose money." ”

"Cheng, I'll dig that kiln today." Situ Yan looked at such Erlang a little impatiently, and with what she just said, he only listened to the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence didn't go to his heart.

San Lang looked at the little sister's impatience, and whispered in the little sister's ear, "Don't worry, I will look at the second brother." ”

Situ Yan smiled knowingly, it's good to have San Lang here, this smart person can communicate without talking much, it's really convenient.

Da Lang looked at such San Lang and Xiao Mei, his heart was a little sour, before Li Sanzhu's incident, his relationship with Xiao Mei was the best among the brothers, after that incident, he always felt that there was something between him and Xiao Mei between them, he couldn't go over, Xiao Mei didn't want to come over, the more he thought about it, the more bitter he became.

After breakfast, Erlang took San Lang and Shiro to the backyard to continue his kiln digging business, and Da Lang followed Situ Yan into the stove room. Situ Yan's so-called "Xiwang cake" is actually an improved version of hawthorn cake, and the reason why it was named is just to be festive and attract buyers.

I took some glutinous rice and used a pole pin to grind it into flour to make glutinous rice flour. Peel and core the hawthorn that has been washed and selected in the morning, put it in boiling water and cook it to rot, then filter the pulp with a sieve, add red sugar to the pulp and mix well, then knead it with glutinous rice flour, knead it into a 3 cm size agent, and then take out a wooden block carved with petal-shaped grooves, this thing was carved for her by Situ Yanyang with a carpenter when she built the house, a flower, an ingot, I just thought about doing it first, I didn't think so much, this will be used just right.

Press the agent into the mold and press it firmly, and then knock it out and pour it out and steam it. Li Dalang looked at these things, some of them he had seen, some of them had never seen them, when did the little sister have these things, but he was afraid that the little sister would misunderstand him, so he didn't dare to ask, and he was pressed in his heart, and it was all written on his face at this time.

Situ Yan sighed, since what happened to Li Sanzhu, she could feel that Da Lang was deliberately flattering and approaching, and she didn't think about letting go, but people are like this, it is easy to be injured ten times, and it is difficult to hurt once. There is a crack in my heart, and it is so easy to make up for it.

She wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, forget it, maybe after a long time, the two of them will always get better.

I watched Li Dalang do it again, and made sure that there was no problem, so she went to another stove to get busy, and she wanted to make some glutinous rice paper so that she could wrap "Xiwang cake".

Cake rice paper is easy to make, but it is difficult to say, first boil the glutinous rice into a pulp, then heat the pot, brush the glutinous rice pulp on the pot, and then get out.

Neither of them spoke, but did things with their heads down. Li Dalang finished a batch, and wanted to let the little sister come over to take a look, but when he turned around, he saw the busy back of the little sister, which even made him feel unfamiliar, and he didn't dare to step forward to interrupt the little sister at all.

This feeling made Li Dalang feel a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart, he had a feeling that if he didn't untie this knot today, he would lose this sister forever, and when he thought of this, he was so frightened that he ran behind Situ Yan and hugged her into his arms.

"Little sister, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Li Dalang's actions frightened Situ Yan, she was held from behind, she felt very strange, she instinctively wanted to have an over-the-shoulder fall, and when she heard Li Dalang suppressing his voice and apologizing with a crying voice, his heart was soft again. She understood why he apologized, but she couldn't forget the habits that remained in her bones.

Situ Yan pulled away Li Dalang's hand, turned around and looked into his eyes, she couldn't say words of forgiveness, but she also knew that this day had to go on, and she couldn't be awkward all the time. "Big brother, Xiao Wu's heart is very small, so small that he can only tolerate his relatives who are good to him, and he can't accept any doubts and betrayals."

"I know, I just didn't believe they would do those things, not to doubt you." Li Dalang hurriedly explained.

"The matter has passed, and we will live a good life as a family in the future. As long as the eldest brother remembers, I will always be good to my brothers, and that's enough! ”

"I remember, I remember. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Li Dalang couldn't speak any longer, his chin rested on Situ Yan's head, and he cried in a low voice. He regretted it, he was sad, and he didn't know what else he could do but wash away his guilt with tears.

Such Li Dalang made Situ Yan feel uncomfortable, thinking to herself, "Forget it, who can be without fault?" According to her previous nature, she was unfaithful once, and she didn't use it a hundred times, but she was much more tolerant of her relatives after all.

Moved by Li Dalang's behavior, although Situ Yan hadn't put it down at this time, at least she was loose, so she raised her hand to hug Li Dalang and patted him on the back. Li Dalang felt his little sister's forgiveness, but cried louder, and he couldn't hold back the worries and regrets of these days anymore. I cried for nearly a quarter of an hour before I stopped.

The two chatted in the stove room for a while, and the matter was over. Li Dalang started to make "Xiwang cake" with peace of mind, Situ Yan cut the glutinous rice paper, and wrapped the cold pastry into the prepared basket. The two of them talked and laughed until noon, and counted them, and there were nearly fifty yuan.

The two of them will sum it up, and then make a hundred yuan today and another hundred yuan tomorrow. It's the first time I went out to sell, and I can only sell it for half a day, so don't do too much. taught Li Dalang how to make glutinous rice paper, and Situ Yan hid back in his house.

After lunch, I took out two pieces of navy blue burlap from the ring, and found some white threads, and began to make a disguise for setting up a stall.

Situ Yanda has thought about how to publicize it since she planned to sell things, although it is generally a store before it will be a disguise, but in this era, it is not possible to advertise like in her previous life, and she can't buy a shop to open a store at her age, the best way is to make a cover first and stand next to the stall, one is to attract customers and facilitate people's word of mouth; The second is to find convenience for old customers in the future (temporary stalls, no fixed location. ); The third is to prepare for the purchase of shops in the future.

In order to open a shop in the future, the guise is designed to embroider three words "Li Fu Ji", "Li" and "Ji" are smaller, and the word "Fu" is embroidered in the middle, which is more than twice as large as the other two words. It was embroidered until dark, and the first disguise was finished. Hurried to the stove room to make dinner.

Li Dalang has been busy in the stove room, and he has just finished a hundred pieces of "Xiwang cake" at this time. The two of them made some simple dinner together. Shouting that Erlang came back for dinner. Only then did he teach the four of them to read and write, while embroidering a second disguise.

"Xiao Wu, how did the "Xiwang cake" be made into a flower shape, the color is still so good-looking, sweet and sour, and the thief pulls (special) delicious. After dinner, Erlang couldn't help but steal a piece of snack, and now he sighed, looking endless.

"That's Ming'er to sell, just your mouth." Li Dalang smiled and patted Erlang's head, although he was disciplined, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Situ Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, this thing was made to be eaten, although it was sold for money, but his family should taste it first. "It's delicious, and the third and fourth brothers can also taste it."

"I don't want to eat, and when I sell the money, I will buy new clothes for Xiao Wu." Saburo was reluctant, and watched Shiro get up to get a snack, so he hurriedly pulled him and stopped him.

"Third brother, is this thing delicious, my brothers have to help me try it, so I can get an idea? The fourth brother doesn't pay attention to the third brother, go and get a few more pieces. Shiro was a little embarrassed by what San Lang said, but when he heard that the little sister meant to let him help taste it, he was happy and rushed to the kitchen with a loud voice.

"This stinky boy." Li Dalang scolded with a smile, looking at his younger brothers, his eyes were full of joy.

After eating dim sum, San Lang and Shiro also shouted that it was delicious, and Da Lang had confidence in his heart. He has never sold anything, and he has never had any confidence in his heart, but now he sees his younger brothers praising him, and he has the bottom in his heart.

After studying for two hours, the four brothers checked the portal, soaked their frostbitten hands and feet with medicinal water, and then went back to the west room to rest.

Situ Yan returned to the east room, and was busy with the oil lamp for nearly an hour before embroidering the second disguise. I found two wooden sticks and tied them with hemp rope in a figure of "7", and tried to use the guise to jump, and finally sewed two more straps for fixing, and this was considered complete.

The two pretenses were made with wooden sticks, and they stood by the south window, and then they drank a cup of water and rested.
