Since ancient times, making this kind of shortbread is to put white sesame seeds, and no one has ever raised the problem of blackening, after all, this is a craft handed down from the ancestors, and people only support this, but most of them can't find a reason.

But if Old Lady Li raised this question, Qin Wuran would probably think about it deeply, but it was Zheng Songyun who opened this mouth, which naturally made her think of the other party's repeated demolitions.

"If you give it to eat, you just eat it, where is there so much nonsense? Why and why, it seems that you are the only one who is ignorant. ”

Zheng Songyun didn't care about this sentence, but shrugged his shoulders, "I really don't know anything about this, otherwise why would I ask you?" What's more, why don't you just use white instead of black? Slapping the table all day long and getting angry, it looks like you have a temper. ”

The same words were returned, and Qin Wuran only felt inexplicable, "When did I slap the table and get angry?" ”

Seeing that the two of them could quarrel after having a good meal, Zhao Li hurriedly played a round on the side, but neither of them listened, Zheng Songyun also asked first: "Let's talk about whether you are angry or not, if you are really proficient in these, don't you even know why you use white sesame seeds?" ”

Qin Wuran simply laughed at him, and wanted to argue with him but felt that it was not interesting, so she simply eased her temper and stopped paying attention to him.

Fortunately, Zheng Songyun still has some eyesight, and when he saw that she didn't reply, he didn't ask again.

After dinner, Qin Yingran and Li Yingyue cleaned up and went to the kitchen to wash, Mrs. Li said that he wanted to go back to rest, Zhao Li simply followed, and asked him on the way: "The old man also saw it, this Zheng Songyun came here purely to block the house, if you continue to leave him in Li Ji Restaurant, won't it be a lot of trouble every day?" ”

Old lady Li sighed lightly when she heard this, and then shook her head helplessly, "His mother was raised by the old woman of my family, and even if she is half a daughter, it is pitiful, and she was dragged by the head of the family to marry such a foolish thing." But no matter how innocent the child is, when his mother is dying, he entrusted him to me, if I don't take good care of it, won't it make my old wife sad? ”

Speaking of which, Mrs. Li owes the most to his wife, so if there is a star that can compensate her, Mrs. Li can't give it up, which can be regarded as him paying off his debts.

understood this reason in his heart, and Zhao Li couldn't persuade him anymore, so he only let out a long sigh, looking forward to the day when Zheng Songyun would be sensible.

After all, Mrs. Li said that his mother had passed away, and his father was unclear, so Zheng Songyun estimated that he would have to live in the Li family for a long time.

As soon as the relationship between the two eased, they returned to the point where they didn't speak to each other, Mrs. Li didn't care, and Zhao Li could only reconcile from the middle, so gradually the gap between the two became bigger and bigger.

Fortunately, Qin Wu was really angry and didn't pay attention to him, but she didn't cause too much dispute.

The days went on so unhurriedly, but the business of Li Ji Restaurant suddenly fell one day, and Qin Yingran didn't know why, so she simply asked Li Yingyue to inquire around to see if it was her own problem or the competition of others.

Yuanxi Town is so big, there are naturally not many restaurants that make food, and if one has just opened, it is not a big deal to attract some customers.

Thinking of this, Qin Wuran didn't pay much attention to this matter, and was about to bring the vegetables to wash, but Zhao Li walked in.

"There's no business today anyway, Uncle Zhao might as well go back and rest." Qin Wuran only thought that he was here to help, so she persuaded.

But Zhao Li shook his head, "I'm here to tell you about Zheng Songyun." ”

As soon as Qin Wuran heard these words, she felt a lot of headaches, and hurriedly interjected, "What Uncle Zhao mentioned about him was, it was plain and discouraged. ”

"Okay, I know you're not used to seeing him, and I know it's not your fault, but you're not too young, think about your grandfather. He left Zheng Songyun to be entrusted with loyalty, you take care of it a little, it's a big deal not to talk to him from now on. ”

Qin Wu said that she had already taken care of a lot, but she understood that Zhao Li was for the good of Old Lady Li, so she nodded reluctantly.

Zhao Li was relieved, patted her shoulder, and said seriously: "Uncle Zhao knows that you are a good boy, and he has wronged you." ”

It doesn't matter if you are wronged or not, as long as others understand it in their hearts, they won't worry about it. Qin Wuran has always been such a person, Zhao Li's "know" dissipated the anger in her heart, and turned to ponder how to get along in the future.

There was still a good dough at hand, Qin Wuran was originally going to make meat shortbread, but she thought of what Zheng Songyun said in the night street that day, and began to get entangled with the dough.

Secretly scolding herself in her heart for not being angry, Qin Wuran still went to get the pickled osmanthus filling, put it in the dough and rolled it into a thin cake, and baked it like this.

The dough is crispy, a thin layer, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and you can faintly see the filling inside. Qin Wuran had never tried this method, and she was a little apprehensive in her heart, so she broke one and was about to taste it, and the osmanthus nectar flowed all over her hands.

The sweet smell jumped up to the tip of her nose, and there was a bit of freshness of osmanthus flowers, which made Qin Wuran's worries drop a little.

After taking another bite, the honey-stained filling flowed all over the mouth, mixed with the pie crust, it really didn't make people feel tired, and she was quite satisfied, so Qin Wuran put the osmanthus cake in the basket to dry, thinking about how to explain that the osmanthus cake was not made for him.

But who knew that while thinking about it, Li Yingyue, who had been out for a long time, ran back, and her expression was still a little hurried.

"Mingyue Restaurant's newly launched lo-mei, our business here has been robbed of them."

Mingyue Restaurant's launch of lo-mei is not a recent thing, Qin Wuran ran over to see it before, but she didn't pay attention to it at all, so she frowned slightly and asked, "What's there to be worried about?" ”

As soon as Li Yingyue heard it, she knew that she was thinking about it, so she quickly took out the box she was carrying and put it on the table in front of Qin Wuran.

"I asked someone to buy it in Mingyue Restaurant, and I spent some money to dredge up the relationship, otherwise there may be no leftovers today."

Qin Wuran is not very interested in the food of Mingyue Restaurant, after all, what is done there is an environment, if it is really cooking, it will definitely not be as good as their Li Ji Restaurant, let alone lo-mei?

But at a glance, although the lo-mei is not bright and attractive, it is considered to be a good color, and the smell is almost the same as that of my own home, and I immediately feel bad.

Li Yingyue also explained: "I didn't hold back and tasted one on the road, this is similar to the truth of the taste at our house, plus there is a lot of supply every day, and everything we can't book here is running there, and the business of the music restaurant has been a lot more prosperous than before." ”

Hearing this, where can Qin Wuran calm down? I pinched a piece of beef without holding the chopsticks.

The entrance is a familiar aroma, although it is slightly off, but the average person probably can't taste it. The expression on her face became more serious, and after carefully examining and tasting it, she suddenly realized that they should be colored with red yeast rice.

"Zheng Songyun." Qin Wuran's face was cloudy, and she asked coldly.

Li Yingyue really hadn't seen her young lady like this, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she hurriedly ran to find someone.

When she arrived, Zheng Songyun was still basking in the sun in her small courtyard, and when she saw Li Yingyue coming over in a hurry, she raised her eyebrows, highlighting the blades of grass in her mouth.

"Looking for me?" He asked.

Li Yingyue was not polite to him, and reached out and pulled him up from the chair, "Hurry up and go with me to see Miss." ”

"I saw what she did." Zheng Songyun swept her hand away.

"The stakes are high, if you don't go, I can ask her to come to you herself." Li Yingyue threatened.

Listening to what she said in a hurry, Zheng Songyun didn't dare to slack off, followed her awkwardly, and smelled the sweet fragrance of osmanthus when she entered the kitchen.

However, before he could savor it, Qin Wuran slapped the table and stood up, pointed at him and scolded: "Our Li family will give you food and shelter, and it can be regarded as treating you well, I didn't expect you to do such a thing!" ”

One sentence was inexplicable, Zheng Songyun naturally didn't know what to do, and sneered at each other: "What does the Li family have to do with me?" Don't use the favor of the Li family to press me, this is what you can do? ”

"You're right," Qin Wu laughed angrily, and then put the box containing the lo-mei of Mingyue Restaurant on the table, "Since the Li family has a favor for you, what are you doing?" Leak our secret recipe to Mingyue Restaurant? You're really bold. ”

"You don't talk nonsense there, when did I learn the secret recipe of lo-mei? Bloody mouths can be found to find evidence. ”

"Mingyue Restaurant stole our recipe, just because it is too difficult to fry the sugar, so simply replace it with red yeast rice, this is your own method, and I have repeatedly confirmed it with my grandfather. What's more, if I'm not mistaken, Uncle Zhao should hand over the key to the warehouse to you these days, do you dare to go with me to match the package prepared in advance? ”

At the mention of red yeast rice, Zheng Songyun was slightly stunned, and then it was like an initiation, and everything became clear.

Li Man came to him some time ago, probably asking him why he mentioned red yeast rice that day. Zheng Songyun was blocked at the end of the street alone, and he was so afraid that he fell out. Li Man was still a little disdainful, took his key and said that he was going to the warehouse to find something, Zheng Songyun felt that she was the Li family after all, and she didn't care about it, so she didn't stop it at all.

But he didn't think that Li Man, as a member of the Li family, still helped Mingyue Restaurant calculate his own family.

"I'm not ......" Zheng Songyun wanted to explain to himself, but firstly, the method of red yeast was that he said it well, and secondly, he did not take the key well, so Li Man took advantage of this loophole.

Qin Wuran thought that he was weak-hearted, and immediately snorted coldly, "What are you?" Say you didn't do it? Are you a fool of me? ”

After that, she brushed the basket with one hand, and the osmanthus cakes in it were scattered all over the ground, stained with dust, and trampled on.
