After Ai Qiaoqiao went back, she finally put a heart back in her stomach.

Lan's performance surprised her.

I don't know if it's her delusion, every time Lan looks at her, she feels a glimmer of love in her mother's eyes.

But when she looked back seriously, Lan was careless, making her unable to determine her judgment.

Her mother seemed to be back to normal.

But when she thought about it again, she felt incredible.

I can't be so lucky that I will be cured.

She did not dare to confirm this. Because she was afraid that she would be disappointed.

Fortunately, the Lan family only does some needlework every day, mostly accompanied by listening to the wind and rain, and Ai Qiaoqiao is busy with the business of the shops in the city, so he can only listen to the wind and them.

Unable to buy stone cauliflower for the time being, Ai Qiaoqiao had to buy a batch of lotus root from Boss Feng and prepare to start making homemade lotus root powder.

"Qiaoqiao is selling slurry again?" When Wen Wenhua was found, he looked at the lotus roots piled up in the yard and said strangely.

"This lotus root flour is not used to make slurry." "I'm going to use them to make snowflake cheese. ”

"Just like the last time you made the slurry?" Wen Wenhua asked.

"Almost, I'd like to find the same people who helped me make the slurry last time."

Wen Wenhua paused, "Your sister-in-law is in better shape, I think"

"I know." Ai Qiaoqiao interrupted him with a smile, "Even if Sister-in-law Runxue comes, I won't let her touch her hands." As long as she helps me manage those people, I will pay them more, and I will pay them more. ”

Wen Wenhua waved his hand again and again, "How can this be done, you can still get money if you don't work." ”

"Managing people is the hardest job, even harder than work." Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "Brother Wen, don't underestimate people's errands, only people like Sister-in-law Runxue can convince others, except for her, I really can't find a more suitable person." ”

In this way, Ai Qiaoqiao still invited Runxue to help her manage the small workshop of lotus root flour.

Unlike last time, this time Runxue was completely in charge, Ai Qiaoqiao didn't need her to do it at all, and only handed over the work of deployment to her.

There were seven people who came to the lotus root flour workshop, all of whom had made slurry before. Everyone is familiar with it.

"I heard that your grandmother agreed to Luofu's family affairs?" When I came up, I asked Ai Qiaoqiao about good things.

Runxue was a little displeased, "We're here to do things, and we're here to inquire about what these things are doing." ”

Everyone laughed. So the subject changed.

Ai Qiaoqiao personally demonstrated how to make lotus root flour to them.

She washes the lotus root, peels it, and changes the knife. and put it in a bucket of clean water.

"Soak for half an hour before making."

She took out another bucket of lotus root that had already been soaked, pounded it with a wooden stick until all the lotus root pieces in the bucket were mashed, then she took a large piece of gauze, opened it and covered it in a large basin, poured out the lotus root pulp in the bucket, and filtered it with gauze.

Then she washed the remaining residue over and over again with clean water, and stored all the water in the wooden barrel prepared in advance.

When the water for washing the slag became clear, Ai Qiaoqiao withdrew his hand.

"Okay, the rest is just like making a slurry, let the water settle overnight, and then pour out the water on it the next day. The rest of the powder is just dry. ”

The crowd learned it quickly, and it was not difficult at all.

Ai Qiaoqiao's requirements are still the same as last time: the milling process must be clean, and impurities must not be mixed.

When the first batch of lotus root flour was made, Ai Qiaoqiao mixed the lotus root flour with glutinous rice flour, poured hot water, added sugar to it, and stirred well.

"What is this going to do, Miss Qiaoqiao?" Listening to the wind and rain, he immediately realized that there was something delicious again, and gathered around her like a little tail.

Ai Qiaoqiao mixes lotus root flour and glutinous rice flour into a paste, then smears oil on a plate and pours the paste into the plate.

"I'll steam some lotus root flour and white sugar cake for you to eat."

The eyes of the two children were shining.

They watched as Ai Qiaoqiao put the plate into the pot and then steamed it in boiling water.

Before it was about to be cooked, Ai Qiaoqiao brushed another layer of sugar on the plate and sprinkled some sesame seeds.

When it cooled, she cut the lotus root flour and white sugar cake into small pieces.

The crystal clear lotus root flour cake, when you bite into it, it is soft and glutinous and warm, with the mellow aroma of sugar and sesame seeds.

Listening to the wind and rain, I ate a whole plate in one go, and I was addicted.

Ai Qiaoqiao took the lotus root white sugar cake to Runxue and the others to taste.

"It's softer than glutinous rice."

"It's also more transparent."

Everyone tasted it and liked it.

Ai Qiaoqiao is generous. They also work very hard.

Ai Qiaoqiao was thinking about making more for Aunt Ji and Zhang Wu to send them, when she suddenly saw a person coming in from outside the courtyard, and the little wolf in her courtyard pounced on her with a roar.

The man was startled. shouted repeatedly, "Cousin Qiaoqiao, it's me." Watch your dog! ”

Ai Qiaoqiao recalled the little wolf, and her cousin Ma Zhishen entered the hospital.

"Oh my God, Qiaoqiao, this dog you have is so fierce."

"It's not a dog." Ai Qiaoqiao said lightly, "It's a wolf." ”

Ma Zhishen's eyes widened in disbelief, "Wolf? ”

"Yes, it's a wolf, and it eats raw meat!" Listen to the wind and the rain.

"And specializes in biting bad guys!"

Ma Zhishen laughed dryly: "Children are not good at lying. ”

Listening to the wind and rain, he stared at him vigilantly, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Why can't I come?" Ma Zhishen was puzzled, "This is my cousin's home, but who are you guys, and why do you live here?" ”

Hearing that Feng was about to answer, Ai Qiaoqiao said: "You go and send the lotus root white sugar cake to Aunt Ji and Zhang Wu." ”

"But" The two children stared at Ma Zhishen, their eyes full of distrust.

"Let's go, here are Runxue's sisters-in-law." Ai Qiaoqiao urged.

The two children left.

"Listen to your grandfather, you have made a good dish." Ma Zhishen smiled, "What delicious food did you make, I'll taste it"

As he spoke, he reached out to take the lotus root cake on the plate in Ai Qiaoqiao's hand.

Ai Qiaoqiao stood still with the plate, but Ma Zhishen's outstretched hand crossed the plate and stretched out directly to her chest

In the hidden part of the backyard wall, a man in a black leather mask crouched on his knees. Holding a handful of stones in his hand, his thumb slightly curled, he was about to flick a stone out.

That's when it happened. A short whistle sounded outside the courtyard gate, and the little wolf, which was originally quiet, pounced on Ma Zhishen with a roar.

It jumped up and bit Ma Zhishen's outstretched arm.

Ma Zhishen screamed in pain and stepped back.

Outside the courtyard gate. Zhang Wu hurried in angrily, carrying a furry hare in his hand.

He walked a few steps to Ma Zhishen, threw away the hare, and grabbed Ma Zhishen by the collar.

The little wolf just let go of his mouth, Zhang Wu's body twisted, and his waist was forced, and Ma Zhishen was thrown over the shoulder.

Ma Zhishen only felt that the sky was spinning, and his buttocks fell heavily to the ground, as if he was about to be smashed into eight petals.

Seeing this, the figure hidden in the backyard wall put away the stones and disappeared again.
