Wicker returned to the countryside after his birthday, Liu Wang wanted to keep him to live in the county for a long time, he said that the countryside was safe to study. It was related to the future of the people, Liu Wang was not good at insisting, so he wrapped the porcelain inkstone in the shop and sent him back with a large stack of fine paper.

The days passed slowly in everyone's mind. These days, the willow branches are crazy and crazy, either in the kitchen around the oil and rice tank, thoughtful, or around the soaphorn tree, chanting words. The wicker embroidered flowers had been dismantled several times, and she asked Li worriedly: "Mother, is my sister okay?" ”

Li Shi is not sure, to say that the eldest daughter is stunned, but her spirit is much better than before, and there is brilliance in her eyes. Mother Li sent the cleaned bayberry in and comforted the two of them: "It's okay, the eldest girl is thinking about how to make a novelty snack." ”

Everyone in the family knows that Willow Branch loves cooking, and this explanation is very credible. No matter what she does, as long as she can divert the eldest daughter's attention, it is better to turn in circles than to have a straight face before.

Liu Wang got Feng Youcai's stimulus and unconsciously became competitive, he thought to himself that he was no worse than Feng Youcai, it was nothing more than a lack of luck. The Yang family is even more reluctant to admit that it is their own vision that is not good, Yang Dongyun has not yet ended, who dares to say that he will not be a blockbuster in Sanyuan and the first.

One day he watched Willow Branch and his sister sit on a stone bench under the soaphorn tree peeling beans, both sisters were wearing orchid cloth shirts, combing a bun, the willow branch pinned a peach blossom grass flower, wicker two yarn flowers; Two earrings with identical red stones, good with the coral bracelet given by the Feng family. This was an ordinary little girl's dress, but Liu Wang felt dazzling.

On that day, Feng Jiaojiao wore a red silk shirt embroidered with gardenias, a silver and gold pleated skirt, a yellow eight-treasure Yingluo collar, a pair of hanging gold earrings, her hair was tied in a high bun, and a large jade comb, two small jade combs and two pearls and five plum blossoms were inserted.

Liu Wang and the Li family discussed the mention of everyone on the counter and looked at the shop; I went to the countryside to harvest raw silk, and it was always profitable to come back and sell it to the dental store. The Li family is used to the comfortable life of husband and wife getting along day and night, and now the eldest daughter, who is easy to go crazy, is gradually normal, and the family is harmonious and beautiful, but her husband has to go out again, and she doesn't feel crying and sighing for her life.

The self-employed merchants are the most bitter, you don't see the gold and silver behind the mountains and rivers, the wind and food are sleeping, it is an empty boudoir alone, and the years are wasted. Although the harvest silk is located in a few nearby villages and towns, it is not possible to stay at home all the time.

Liu Wang saw that his wife was crying, and he felt sad in his heart, and comforted her in a low voice: "Originally, you and I were in harmony with husband and wife, a pair of daughters were sensible, and coarse tea and light rice were also passable." But I want to accumulate more family business while I am still in the prime of life, and my two daughters will marry decently. Mrs. Yang is mean, and two years later, Zhi'er passed the door with a rich dowry, and her in-laws also looked up to her. Xiao Yu'er is not as strong as her sister, and she has to be supported by silver. ”

The words only made Li sob. It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world.

At this time, raw silk began to go on the market, and Liu Wang had already planned in his stomach before, so he hurriedly explained his family affairs, and found a few people who had friends to take him to the countryside.

In previous years, when my father went far away, Wicker would definitely pester Dad to ask him to come back and bring all kinds of fresh gadgets, but this time Willow Zhi was silent and listened to Li's dispatch to pack up the package and didn't say a word. On the day my father left home, she just took her sister to stand behind her mother, bowing her head and listening to her father say something sensible, hardworking, cautious, etc., and occasionally nodded.

Li turned his head to Li's mother and cried: "I really don't know if it's right or wrong to give her this marriage, and I see that she has no intention of objecting, but the whole person has changed." I don't even know my own daughter. "Mother Li also felt that the eldest girl she brought up was very different, and she had more ideas, and her ideas were all in her stomach.

Almost the day after his father went out, Liu Zhi went to Manxianglou to find Feng Jiaojiao. "Twig, you're here." Feng Jiaojiao is always happy to see her close friends.

"Jiaojiao, you and Fifth Brother try it, how does it taste."

Liu Zhi pondered that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two months, and made a basket of cakes according to the appearance of moon cakes, but they were smaller and flatter. She made four kinds of fillings: rose sugar sauce filling, red bean paste filling, mixed fruit sugar filling, and sauce meat sesame filling.

Two days later, Feng Jiaojiao called someone to pick her up and come to the house, and hugged her affectionately when they met: "Xiaozhi, how did you make that meat filling?" It's so delicious. ”

Before Liu Zhi could answer, a fat face suddenly appeared, "Big sister is good", which startled her, and she was still hugging Feng Jiaojiao, not very presentable.

Feng Jiaojiao didn't care: "Eh, fifth brother." By the way, Xiaozhi, the fifth brother has an idea, so he will sell the mooncakes you made. By the way, there is already the first order. Our family was supposed to send 100 catties of moon cakes out during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the rest were all booked to stay in Fangzhai, and we told our father that we would use our own this year. ”

Liu Zhi asked uncertainly: "Is it really that good, it won't spoil your family's affairs, right?" "It's really that good!" But it was Feng Jiaojiao and Feng Jinbao who said together.

"The rose's special sweetness; The meat is very special, salty and salty. Feng Jiaojiao is always enthusiastic when she talks about eating, "I have never eaten these two kinds of stuffing, it is really delicious." ”

"It's just an ordinary bean paste filling, and the big sister's is also smooth and delicate." Feng Jinbao's fat face was completely old-fashioned with seeking truth from facts.

"So did you decide to make mooncakes?"

"Let's listen to what the fifth brother has to say first." Feng Jiaojiao waved her fat hand and asked Yinzhu to bring the tea up, and the three people who added up to less than fifty sat in the garden pavilion to discuss the plan. While they discussed, Feng Jinbao memorized the main points while moving his pen like a fly.

"Mooncakes are seasonal dim sum, no one will taste them after the Mid-Autumn Festival, we can make Manxianglou's unique dim sum; The appearance is a little different, and the appearance of ordinary moon cakes is a little different. This way it can be sold all year round. ”

"Yes, there are very few salty dim sum in Huashi County, only pepper and salt, and there is no such stuffing, so we will use this sauce meat and sesame filling to test the water." Steamed buns are used as a staple food, while baked cakes are not filled and do not look good enough on the table, which is naturally different from this kind of pastry after tea and dinner.

Therefore, not to mention the moon cake stuffed with sauce meat and sesame in Huashi County, even the taste of the prosperous Songning Mansion is fresh. Feng Jinbao's little short hand touched his head hard, and said embarrassedly: "Big sister, in fact, I asked the master to make a stove according to the taste, but it is different from yours." "Mooncakes are not as good as buns, and the meat filling can't be filled with ginger and garlic to get fishy.

"I think it's the same as the meat sauce of the mille-feuille, but it's the twig, and the sauce is different from others." Feng Jiaojiao smacked it. She is worthy of being a foodie, and she tasted the key.

Willow Branch made the best sauce fragrant mille-feuille, she didn't do it again after Li Chun left, thinking about him in the kitchen, she unconsciously mixed a pot of meat filling, and made a stove of moon cakes with sauce and meat filling.

"Why don't we try? It sells very well, but if it can't be sold, we eat it ourselves. Willow Branch was anxious to verify.

"Without further ado, the eldest sister will make an order, and I will go to buy it. Arrange a stove for the big sister tomorrow, okay to start right away? Although the five sons of the Feng family all uphold Boss Feng's appearance, they are chubby and chubby, standing together like five leather balls of different sizes, but they all have flexible brains and quick hands and feet.

"Okay, let's try it first, if it can be sold, we'll plan it again." Willow Branch unconsciously raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
