Chapter 6: Plum Cake

"We're going to make a lot of good food. As he spoke, he kept his hands on it.

"Let's try it first, and then make it. This will take some time, not in a hurry. "I'm still not confident in my craft, so it's better to try it out.

"Alright then!"

I recalled the steps I learned to do in the world, washing my hands and making a fire, doing something rusty, the children were very curious, moved a small stool to sit aside, watched me show off this immature craft, thinking that he should not have entered the kitchen at home.

I was a little embarrassed to be stared at by him, so I instructed him to go to the fire, but he was well-behaved and very pleasant.

"Beautiful sister, how long will this take. ”

I raised my head from the boiling room, and saw him holding his face in his hands, sitting solemnly, looking like a little adult, I just thought it was funny, and then looking at the few black smears next to his white face, I couldn't help but hook my face, and I said with a smile;" I don't know about this. ”

"Pretty sister, what are you laughing at, what's wrong?" he took the hand that was holding his face, his eyes roamed around his body, and a pair of eyes chirped and looked at me puzzled.

I took the plum blossom cake out of the pan and put it on a plate, stifled a smile and said, "No! ”

He trotted out, and after a while he ran back again, with droplets of water on his fair and clean face dripping from time to time, and the hair that had accidentally scattered on his face was also dripping with water.

I took out my handkerchief and wiped it for him.

"It's black, can I eat it?"

Seeing him question me, I blamed everything on his bad fire: "Yes, you've made a fire." ”

"Well, I'll try it!" he picked up a piece of black paste with a solemn face, took a small bite, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it.

"How?" I said, looking forward to it.

"Delicious. ”

"True or false?" I didn't believe it, I took a piece and tasted a small bite, is this kid delicious as long as it is a little sweet, it is good, and I dare not compliment it.

Seeing that he still wanted to eat a piece, I hurriedly took his hand away and said, "Don't eat it, I'll do it again, this time it will definitely work." ”

"Then I'll make a fire. ”

"Hmm!" fortunately, I only did a small thing to try first, and I had to be prescient to do it.

With the previous experiment, kneading the dough, modeling, and steaming the drawer together in the pot, gradually became handy, and the child made a fire is also hard, I think he really believes that I can succeed this time.

Look at me from the steamer to take out the plum blossom cake and put it on the plate, he happily clapped his hands and jumped up and down, a child is a child, how calm his temperament is still a little playful.

"Don't worry! ”

"Beautiful sister, this time it must be more delicious. ”

"Why did you know it first? ”

"I just know that this cake is crystal clear, pleasing to the eye, and it must be delicious. ”

"You can speak, and knowledge is not in vain, but even if you say it is true, it may not be delicious. ”

"Why?"

"Because I did it, I naturally inferior to others. ”

"No, my aunt hasn't made anything for me to eat, and my beautiful sister makes it the best. ”

"How sad you are for your mother to know!"

"No, A-Niang's heart is as strong as iron, and she can't be hurt. ”

I held the hot cake, but my heart was cold, walked to the steps of the courtyard table, involuntarily stopped, seeing that I didn't go, he didn't go, look at his innocent face, innocent eyes, I somehow wanted to say more: "Then do you know, women are made of water, seemingly tender, agglomerate, in fact, the heart is not able to withstand the slightest ripple, your aunt has a bold personality, eclectic, she doesn't care what others say, but you are her dearest, your words and deeds will always invisibly affect her." ”

Maybe he didn't understand my words very well, and his confused eyes seemed to understand: "Oh!"

Ignorant glanced at me and lowered his head to think, he still couldn't help but look up and ask: "Beautiful sister, I can understand that talking hurts my mother's heart, but why do you say that the woman is made of water, my aunt is not a narcissus, she is not made of water"

This is just an analogy, it doesn't have to be made of water, saying that women are like water, refers to the tenderness of women like water and the tolerance of all rivers. ”

"Oh!"

Walked to the courtyard table and put down the pastry, picked up a piece and blew it and handed it to him: "Sit down and taste it." ”

He took it and took a big bite, and as soon as he chewed it, his throat made a hmm-hum sound, and his eyes narrowed into a line.

"If it's hot, you'll spit it out, and then eat it when it's cold!" I was afraid that he would burn his mouth, so I hurriedly approached him to inspect it, and he opened his mouth wide to show me, but there was nothing in his mouth, so I poured a cup of tea for him to cool off.

"It's okay, I think it's delicious, not very hot, beautiful sister, you can also have a piece." As he spoke, he reached out to give me a piece, but before he reached out to take it, I heard a familiar sound outside the door, and I hurriedly put down my handdress, trotted out the door to greet me, and my feet stepped on the white snow, and there was a squeaky sound of rolling snow.

Open the courtyard door, a gust of wind and snow blowing, scattered red, not in a hurry to shoot away the snow and flowers that fell on the body, then raised his eyes to look at the person, the beauty wore a pink feather coat and shawl, holding an oil-paper umbrella standing in front of the door, the oil-paper umbrella hung low to cover her head, only to see the graceful figure, but also covered by the long black and smooth hair.

The sound of my door opening didn't make her turn around.

I hurriedly greeted her and said coquettishly, "Sister, why are you here?" naturally took her fingers, and the corners of her mouth couldn't hide a smile.

Listening to me call her, she smiled back, turned around gracefully, that elegant demeanor, the softness of her words, and the rare appearance in this world, how can it not make people haunt their dreams.

My love for Sister A is like flowing water, but Sister A doesn't sell my face, and laughs at me: "Why, can't I come?" Sister Sister carried the lotus into the door, took the umbrella and stood by the door, dusting off her body.

"Why, you know I didn't mean that. ”

"Tease you!" he said, tapping the tip of my nose with his hand.

"Then come into the house and sit down, I just made plum blossom cake for you to taste. ”

"Good!"

Before, he only cared about his own joy, thinking that the child would stay in the courtyard because of greed, but he also trotted out, and saw that we were chatting happily, and had been standing upright on the side, and never spoke, when he saw us looking at him, he called out obediently and lovely: "Big sister"

I blocked Ah Hua before, Sister Ah never saw it, at this moment I heard someone call her, so I stretched my slender neck to find the sound, from Sister Ah looking at him in the beautiful eyes I saw amazing, like the first time I saw Ah Hua, too, Sister Ah also saw him for the first time: "This is the child of the Yan family! Ah Hua called her, but she said to me.

"Sister, are you saying this in front of the child? I whispered in my sister's ear, afraid that this bean-sized child would listen.

"Yes, yes. As he spoke, he let go of my hand, squatted down, and happily touched the child's head: "Good boy!" After speaking, he led him to the courtyard and ignored me.

Or Ah Hua is better, and he still stretched out his head to see if I was keeping up, so I hurriedly closed the door and followed.

Sister Ah sat next to Ah Hua at the table, looking carefully at a flower cake, her eyes were steady, and she couldn't guess what she was thinking: "I look good, and I pinched the flower shape, but how to ......eat it."

"Big sister, you taste it, it's delicious. ”

"Really?" Hui trembled, full of disbelief, maybe it was Ah Hua's sincere eyes that made her a little bit open, so she slowly put it to her mouth and took a small bite, and just chewed it out and spit it out: "Ah Yu, your cooking skills are really, really good!"

"What, what's wrong, it tastes weird?" looked at her frowning eyes, as if she had eaten mud and sand.

"Could it be that you haven't tasted it yourself?"

"No!" I replied very unconfidently, I really didn't taste it and let Ah Hua eat it first, which was a little unkind.

"It turns out that we asked us to help you test the poison, it's not good for you to harm others like this!"

"Sister, you're really getting worse and worse, who did you learn from. "I brought the whole plate and put it in front of me, and I didn't want to eat it.

"Then you taste it yourself, am I exaggerating. "Sister gave me a blank look, and said very contemptively. My firm heart gradually became untenable under her aggressive words.

"But he said it was delicious!" I pointed to the culprit.

"This kid should have been poisoned by you, and he can't tell the difference between good and bad!"

"I'm not stupid, it's really delicious. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to eat the cake to prove that he was not lying.

I brushed his hand away, took a piece and put it in my mouth, at the beginning there was a faint fragrance, shallow chewing a little sticky feeling, and then bite deeply, I spit out all the bites, and failed, this cake is sweet enough, the heat is not enough, and there are a little raw grains in the middle.

"How can you say it's delicious?" I asked him sincerely, he replied to me with an innocent expression, it seemed that he really thought it was delicious, and I asked Sister A puzzled: "How can he think it is delicious?"

"But look at him who has been poisoned by you. ”

"Nonsense, this is the first time I've cooked food for him. ”

My interest was discouraged by repeated failures, and I was so discouraged that I wanted to throw it into the fire and burn it to ashes to make flower fertilizer. Sister couldn't see my waste, and reprimanded: "What did you throw away, you sprinkle some water next time, and then steam it in the drawer, and it's fine!"

"Is that okay?"

"You doubt Sister A's cooking skills, and you don't know who has been yelling to eat the delicious food I made since I was a child. ”

I don't question this, when it comes to cooking, don't say how it is outside the mountain, I don't know, but I can't find a second one for a chef like Sister Yuluo Xianshan: "That's it, Sister Yuluo Xianshan's cooking skills are unmatched." ”

"But every time you eat, why don't you learn something?" Sister also felt helpless to me, and her words were full of hatred for my incompetence.

"I'm not here. "I picked the conversation and excused myself.
