In this era, the Qixi Festival is a very important day for girls, in this festival, they have to beg, worship the Weaver Girl, go out to visit the temple fair or something, but these days are generally friends and sisters do it together.

But Nian's family has only been here for more than half a year, Nian Yinian is also busy with the business in the shop and has not made friends at all, and sisters don't have to think about it, Nian's father and mother have only one daughter under their knees, and other relatives either don't communicate or marry far away.

Nian Mu lamented that no sister could accompany her daughter to celebrate the Qixi Festival, Nian Yinian smiled when she heard it, "Mother, what's wrong with this, I have to accompany them to enjoy the stars at night after a day's work, can I still get up the next morning." ”

"But ......"

"Don't be, I'm not a big deal." Nian Yinian interrupted Nian Mu's words, smiled and put the finished small animal buns in the steamer, she has been teaching Nian Xiaolong how to make buns for the past few days, he looks stupid, his hands are quite clever, and the willow leaf buns pinched these days are also decent.

After the steamed buns were steamed, Li Weiyang came uninvited, it seemed that he came with that point, looked at Nian Yinian who was busy in the kitchen with a smile, and said with a smile: "Today is the Qixi Festival, don't do business in the afternoon and go to the temple fair together?" ”

"No, no." Nian Yi refused without thinking about it, "It's lively here today, I'm going to open a store in the afternoon, make some small snacks to sell in the store, and haven't eaten?" Xiaolong, get him two buns and let him go upstairs to eat. ”

With the status of master and apprentice, it is somewhat inappropriate to be commensurate with cousins and sisters, so the two simply call each other by name, Nian Xiaolong responded after hearing this, and asked: "Lord Wang, what kind of stuffing do you want to eat, today there are sesame meat, beef, mushrooms and cabbage, and bean paste......

Li Weiyang: ......

asked for two beef, a sesame seed, and a bowl of tofu brain and went up to the second floor, he knew that at the moment of making money, it was not so easy for her to leave with him, but he also had a way to let people go with him.

"Yo, the prince is here~" Nian's father was looking at yesterday's accounts, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, and his heart was filled with joy and sorrow, happy that this lord liked his daughter so much, and sad that his daughter was completely inappropriate, and he didn't know what happened between the two of them, "Sit upstairs?" What kind of buns to eat? ”

"Wait a minute, Xiaolong will bring it up." Li Weiyang said as he walked: "Uncle, this king wants to take Yi Nian to the temple fair to play in the afternoon, you know, she and I are both new to the temple, and the temple fair here has not been visited, that person is curious, I will definitely be happy to take her to visit, but ......"

Speaking of this, he frowned and sighed, and the young father quickly understood the meaning, poured tea for the person, and said: "Don't worry, I will help you and her, as long as you want to go, I have a way to let her go." ”

Get! King An Yi was satisfied and began to eat steamed buns.

After he went upstairs, Aunt Ma asked while kneading her dough: "Yi Nian, why do you refuse the prince of other people, King Anyi is notoriously unfeminine, it's rare that he likes you, what are you waiting for~"

Not close to women? Nian Yinian laughed directly, the ghost is not close to women, he was recuperating at his house for a few days, and he couldn't wait to sleep in his bed every day for fear of being a fake Li Weiyang, "I'm not waiting for anything, I just don't want to go, let him go, it's difficult for me to explain things with him for a while." ”

Aunt Ma smelled a different smell in it, she was a clear-eyed person, and she could see that the two of them liked each other, and some lines should have been crossed, but I don't know why, they always kept a certain distance.

She heard that this year Yinian used to be the fiancée of King Anyi, and then Nian Zhiru was dismissed and exiled to this small Qingyang City, and the marriage contract between the two was not counted, it seems that the situation at that time should be quite complicated.

At this time, the buns are the most popular, those who come here to catch the morning market like to come here to buy a bun and walk to eat, the buns here are delicious and good-looking, the price is only a little higher than other buns, and there are only a hundred a day, and they are gone when they are sold out.

When my father came down, someone happened to sell steamed buns, and I was very curious about why my own steamed buns were always more expensive than others, and I forgot to ask, but now I asked them, and after the guests left, I said: "Nian Nian, why are our steamed buns more expensive than other families?" ”

"Because our steamed buns are beautiful and delicious, if they are not more expensive than them and sell scarcely, the business of other steamed bun shops will lose a lot, and it is easy to attract resentment and jealousy. Nian Yinian rubbed the head of his younger brother who was standing beside him eating steamed buns, "This is called something that can't be done too much." ”

Nian Yi wanted to raise his head and remember this sentence deeply in his heart, although he didn't understand what it meant, "I know my sister." ”

"Don't talk about this, Niannian, the prince wants to go to the temple fair with you in the afternoon, why did he refuse?" Nian's father said, "We'll sell some snacks in the afternoon, and there's nothing to do if you go to play, just look at the shop." ”

"But ......" Nian Yinian was still a little worried, but she was defeated in the firm gaze of Nian's father, and agreed to go out with Li Weiyang in the afternoon, so after closing the stall in the morning, she was preparing pastries in addition to preparing the dishes at noon.

After eating the yam and jujube paste cake that Li Weiyang gave him last time, Nian Yinian has always wanted to eat the pastries he made once, so he simply made all the pastries he wanted to eat at one time this time.

This time, the main guests were some young ladies and ladies, so she decided to make some desserts, the kind that the big girls and little daughters-in-law preferred, so she specially went to the best master here to make molds and made two pastry molds.

"Yinian, what kind of pastry are you going to make?" Aunt Ma is more interested in pastries, and often buys some pastries to eat when she is at home.

Nian Yinian thought about it for a while, and said: "Lotus crisp, orchid crisp, begonia crisp, cold powder and sugar taro seedlings, five pastries, ten portions each, I will teach you to make it when the time comes." ”

"Whoa!" Aunt Ma'er's smiling eyes couldn't be seen, she thought that this time was the same as before, only teaching Nian Xiaohu.

Several kinds of flower cakes are fried in oil, and the most complicated method is lotus cake, first of all, make oil skin, divide into two parts, one of which is added to a little red yeast rice, this kind of thing is often used to add to wine, used to make red yeast wine.

Nian Yinian was forced to use it, she really couldn't find the edible red pigment here, and she couldn't even squeeze vegetables.

The puff pastry and puff pastry are divided into 10 and 20 parts respectively, and the white oil skin is wrapped in the puff pastry and rolled down into a tongue shape, rolled up and rolled out again, and the red one does the same, and then the two oil skins are stacked together to wrap a bean paste filling.

The mouth can not be pinched in the shape of the bun, which Nian Yinian particularly emphasized, close the mouth to show them, and then cross the front three knives, the depth to expose the filling is just right, and then go directly to the oil pot.

The cut slowly exploded in the oil temperature, forming a very beautiful lotus shape, and Nian Yixiang, who was holding Nian Yinian's skirt, looked surprised, and then this beautiful lotus cake was fed to her.

Nian Yinian then told them how to make begonia crisp and orchid crisp, compared to lotus crisp, these two kinds of crisp are much simpler, "Lotus crisp is complicated, I will teach you again in the future, just remember orchid crisp and begonia crisp first." ”

"Whoa!"

The work of frying the pastry is not difficult, Nian Yinian handed it over directly to Aunt Ma, and took Nian Xiaolong to do it himself, and continued to make the cold powder after doing it, and the cold powder is simpler, as long as the cold powder is thrown into the water and boiled, but the shape needs to be put into the mold that she specially found someone to customize.

When she was in the Kingdom of God, she had seen the kind of pastry that looked like water droplets, and after checking the information, she realized that it was a kind of dim sum from other countries, called Shuixin Xuan Cake, which could also be made with white jelly. She had a big brain, and she felt that if she could make that look, she would naturally be able to become something else, so she found someone to create several pleasing molds.

But it was the first time she had done this, so she couldn't help but hold her breath as she took off the mold, and as she slowly picked up the mold, a whole, crystal clear carp appeared in the small saucer, "It's done!" ”

Nian Yinian couldn't help cheering, picked up the plate and ran up to the second floor, put it in front of Nian's mother and father, and said, "Daddy, I've succeeded!" I really succeeded! ”

"Yo, what is this, so beautiful!" The young mother couldn't help but be full of joy when she saw it, she felt that the young lady and lady here would definitely like this thing, and the young father also had similar expressions and emotions.

Li Weiyang, who was on the third floor, also came down when he heard the movement, and when he saw the crystal clear carp, he smiled and bent his eyes, "You made this after tossing in the kitchen for a morning?" ”

"Li Weiyang!" Nian Yinian threw himself into his arms, jumping up and down, "Listen to me, listen to me, I'll get the Shuixin Xuan Cake out!" Or something else. ”

"Okay, I know." Li Weiyang looked at her with doting in his eyes, reached out and stroked the hair on her forehead, wiped the flour on her face that she accidentally got on, and his every move was telling his love for this woman.

When Nian Xiaolong came up, he saw this scene, and an indescribable feeling spread in his heart, knowing that his cousin and King Anyi had a marriage contract, even if the emperor said that he couldn't do anything, as long as the two of them were willing, they could get married, but he was-

I don't want to see the two of them together.

Aunt Ma noticed Nian Xiaolong's emotional abnormality, and gently poked him with her elbow, "What are you doing, crying with a sad face." ”

"It's okay, it's just that I forgot what Yinian taught me, so I went down and thought about it all over again and did it." Nian Xiaolong smiled, made an excuse for himself and went down, in fact, he remembered everything that Nian Yinian taught him.
