Chapter 11: Jujube Cake

In the past few days, his health has indeed improved a lot, and he has always been idle, and it is estimated that he is not feeling good in his heart, Yu Qiuyu replied and took Xiao Yiran up the back mountain.

After Yu Yifan came back, his expression was much better, he timidly took her hand, and didn't dare to walk around, Yu Qiuyu was originally preoccupied, but he unconsciously relaxed, picked a ripe sand fruit casually, and threw it to Yu Yiran.

Yu Yiran carefully took a few bites, and was pleased by the sweet juice, her eyes lit up suddenly, like a poor and cute little animal, she took small bites, Yu Qiuyu's heart warmed, and at the same time, she suddenly had a general idea in her head.

Since such a shocking thing as increasing crop yields cannot be done for the time being, let's pick a simple one.

Now that the back mountain is rich in materials, many of the sand fruits and dates are tired of eating in the village, and they are too lazy to pick them, so she might as well use her hands and feet in this regard and think of a way......

Yu Qiuyu had a crisp temperament, and without hesitation, he reached out and took off his gown, and Yu Yiran next to him was flushed: "Ah, sister!" ”

"Don't be stunned, come and help Sister Ah beat dates together." Yu Qiuyu looked left and right, picked up a dry branch, aimed at the jujube tree and hit it, the jujube crackled and fell, although Yu Yiran didn't know what she wanted to do, but she was obedient and obedient, without the slightest hesitation, she simply helped her fight, and after a while, the two of them picked up a lot, wrapped it in a small coat and went home.

Yu Yifan had already packed up the things in the kitchen and was reading, when he raised his eyes and saw his younger siblings, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What are you doing with so many dates?" ”

"I'm useful." Yu Qiuyu blinked mysteriously.

Yu Yifan knew that she had a lot of ghost thoughts, so he went with her, and at this moment, the far door was suddenly knocked twice: "Is Mr. Yu here?" ”

It's almost mid-afternoon, and who's going to come to the door at this time?

Yu Qiuyu didn't think much about it, and went to open the door, but saw people from the government standing outside, and made a solemn gesture: "The prefect has an invitation, please ask Mr. Yu to come with us." ”

It is normal for people from the government to come to Yu Yifan, Yu Qiuyu didn't think much about it, answered, and called out to Yu Yifan when he hurriedly walked out: "Brother, bring me a penny of silver sugar when you come back." ”

A penny of sugar, to be honest, is already a lot, and ordinary people may not be able to eat it in two years, but Yu Yifan didn't ask more, just answered, and followed the people from the government.

Yu Qiuyu looked at their backs, and for some reason, a shadow suddenly passed in her heart, but she shook her head and didn't think much about it, but closed the door and went to pack dates with Yu Yifan.

Speaking of which, her idea is actually very simple, which is to make jujube paste cakes. The last time she ate sugar gourds, she noticed that hawthorn is a good hawthorn, but the syrup outside is far less sweet and viscous than the modern one, so she quickly thought of this method - make some small desserts, go to the market to buy, the sales should be good, the recipe is not easy to be taken away, it is a safe way to make money.

She and Yu Yiran put the dates in a large wooden basin, carefully cleaned them, and then found a few large clean leaves, washed them, placed them in a sunny place in the yard, and finally spread a dense layer of dates.

After doing all this, Yu Qiuyu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, exhaled, and asked in a low voice next to Yu Yiran, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”

"Make jujube cake." Yu Qiuyu didn't plan to hide it from them: "But it's enough for you to help, the main thing is that I need to get it, and if you have time, you can go to study with your brother." ”

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but squat down and asked seriously: "Yiyi, you tell your sister the truth, are you studying at your aunt's house?" ”

Yu Yiran hesitated for a moment and shook his head vigorously.

Yu Qiuyu pursed his lips heavily and didn't say anything.

Sure enough, how could my aunt let Yiran study so easily? In ancient times, the emphasis on science and light on agriculture and light business, normal people, but as long as there are men, they will definitely be forced to study, the village has produced Yu Yifan for so many years, and Yu Yiran is also a piece of study material, my aunt has long been red at the prosperity of their life, and it finally fell into her hands, she is naturally holding back her strength to think of some vicious ideas.

At this moment, Yu Yiran stretched out her hand, pulled the corner of her clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, I'm not lazy, it's my aunt who doesn't want me to read, as long as I read a book, she will beat me......"

"Sister didn't blame you." Yu Qiuyu said lightly: "It's because Sister Ah didn't think it through, and I won't send you away again in the future." ”

Yu Yifan nodded vigorously, and at this moment, the door of the courtyard was opened, Yu Yifan walked in, holding two large bags of white sugar in his arms, smiled faintly at them, and said, "Come, Qiu Yu, I will put the white sugar you want here." ”

"I'll get it." Yu Qiuyu rubbed the water beads in his hand, hurriedly ran over, and took the sugar bag in his hand: "Brother, you are weak, why didn't you let someone accompany you back?" If I knew that you were the only one, I wouldn't have let you buy so much sugar......"

"It's okay." Yu Yifan smiled, it didn't look abnormal, but Yu Qiuyu frowned vigilantly, instructed Yu Yiran, and followed Yu Yifan into the house.

When she closed the door with her backhand, Yu Yifan just turned his back to her, poured himself a cup of tea, and when he turned around, he found that she was sneakily following behind, and said with a dumb smile: "Qiu Yu, is there anything else?" ”

"Brother, is there something wrong?"

Yu Yifan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to be so keen, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the story: "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with us......"

"Is it a matter of sticking apples?" Yu Qiuyu was unceremonious and interrupted directly: "If it really has nothing to do with us, the government will not send someone to take you over." ”

Yu Yifan was blocked by her, but he was not angry, his expression was still with a faint smile, and it seemed that there was really no big problem: "If it really has something to do with us, I can't come back with these two bags of sugar." ”
