Li didn't cry or make trouble after returning home, and muttered to Liu Chonglin all night until midnight before going to bed. Early the next morning, she hurried to the town, not to sell bamboo cakes, but to buy a copper lock and door nose back, in front of Liu Yao's family, in the original unlocked kitchen door.

In this way, when her man steamed the cake again, her mother-in-law had no chance even if she wanted to steal the teacher. In addition to locking the kitchen door, she plans to buy a few kinds of rice every month and eat them at home in rotation, so that her mother-in-law will not be able to find out which kind of rice she is using.

Of course, the best mother-in-law didn't notice this at all, thinking that the steamed bamboo tube cake was made of ordinary white rice, so that Lin Xiuzhen would never be able to make a soft and smooth bamboo tube cake like her in her life.

"Qiu Fang, what do you mean by putting a lock on the kitchen door?" Liu Yao's family is gone, and the second and second daughter-in-law are clearly guarding themselves.

"What do you mean? Our cake is an ancestral craft, every step is exquisite, do not lock the door to make it inside, but also open the door for people to see? Mother, do you know, last night Chonglin and I named this cake, it is called Lijia bamboo tube cake, what's the matter, doesn't it sound good? ”

At the latest, she and the master have summed up, Qiu Fang is good-sounding, but it can represent autumn, their cake is a summer snack, it is not suitable to be called Qiu Fang, the two of them thought of several names, what Xia Fang, Xia Liang, and finally

It's still Li's clapper, it's called Li's bamboo tube cake, which sounds strange like an ancestral craft.

"Okay, you Li Qiufang, just lock the kitchen door, why do my things have to be called Li's bamboo cake, if you want to call it, you have to call it Liu's bamboo cake, second, do you say it's this reason?"

Liu Yao's pointed at the Li family and was about to scold, seeing his son squatting at the door brushing the bamboo tube, he hurriedly called her second son to come over to help, this son used to listen to himself the most.

"Mother, can you not put it in and mix it when the couple sells cakes? If you hadn't taught the third family the steamed cake, we would have given the cake this name? I want to call it Liu's bamboo tube cake, and when I look back at the three old people's cakes, I also tell outsiders that they are called Liu's bamboo tube cakes, so can I still do my business? ”

Liu Chonglin carefully brushed the bamboo tube, and after brushing, he turned it upside down and put it on the table to dry, and then he didn't raise his head when he heard his mother shouting, and blocked Liu Yao's mouth three times in a row.

"Why can't you call the Liu family bamboo tube cake, you are brothers, isn't it good for the two families to sell cakes together to make money? Second child, didn't I say you, your brother's family is in difficulty, what's wrong with you reaching out to help? There are so many people in the town, even if you two brothers sell it every day, then there are still many people who can't buy it. ”

Liu Yao's felt that she was quite reasonable in doing this, she taught the third family to make cakes and did not cut off the second family's wealth, the two families put aside two places to sell separately, there are so many people in the town, how can they sell it all?

Of course, she didn't realize this by herself, but the third daughter-in-law told her personally, she felt that the third daughter-in-law was right, everyone earns money together, and there can be a response between brothers.

"I have to thank you for that? Forget it, I don't want to quarrel with you, I didn't quarrel enough yesterday? Anyway, from today onwards, if you just say that it is broken, it will have to be called Li's bamboo tube cake, so it is decided. ”

Li responded to Lin Xiuzhen and her to grab business, listening to Liu Yao's words so straightforward, she was even more annoyed, and at the same time, Liu Yao's words reminded her, since there are so many people in the town, and the two families make cakes every day is not enough for the town to buy, why doesn't she call a few more people to help?

The three brothers in her mother's family are not having a good time every day, so it is better to take this opportunity to help, okay, just do it, when the time comes, Lin Xiuzhen will not be able to sell the three of her family alone!

A few days later, Li's maiden brothers arrived, each pushing a small cart with a long table and several pots of bamboo tube cakes to cool.

At the beginning of selling cakes, Li followed behind a few brothers, and introduced these as his maiden brothers, and the cakes sold by the three families were made by her, which was called Li's bamboo tube cake.

Li took the three brothers to sell cakes for a few days, and when they became proficient, they locked the kitchen door and buried themselves in making cakes with their own men, and the amount of cakes sold every day was three times that of before.

"Longan girl, look at my method, now the town is full of cakes for me, and the cakes made by Lin Xiuzhen can't be sold at all."

Early in the morning, Li took advantage of the free time to come over to talk to her, of course, mainly Li was talking, and Liu Guiyuan listened to her report on selling cakes while working.

"Second aunt, your method is so good, it's better than I thought."

As soon as Liu Guiyuan mixed a pot of pig food, he was picked up by the second aunt who was quick-eyed, the second aunt is indeed a talent, gossip and a hand can be done at the same time, she can only scoop a scoop of water, follow her and continue to listen to her.

When they arrived at the pigsty, the second aunt called the pigs "come and go", and the two little pigs heard the movement, and ran out with a chirp, and the pig food was put on the ground, and the two pigs ate it in a big gulp.

Liu Guiyuan poured water to water the newly planted wild apricot tree next to the pigsty, originally afraid that the weather would not be able to live, she and her two sisters watered diligently in the morning and evening, although the wild apricot tree lost a lot of green leaves, but still successfully survived.

"Your little pig looks good, what are you feeding, it's growing!"

Li helped for the pigs, stood outside the pigsty and watched the piglets eat, thinking that next year her family would also hold two pigs, and then she would ask her mother-in-law to follow her, and see that she would have time to go to the third family.

"Hogweed, wheat bran, brush pot water, just the usual ones, oh, and the pomace of wild loquat, that pig loves to eat, feed as much as you want, can you not grow one?"

Liu Guiyuan looked at the eating appearance of the piglet, and was equally happy in his heart, her family basically used the leftover fruit pomace every day to feed the pigs, and the pigs also love to eat this, and then eat it with others, and naturally grow strong.

"Wild loquat is sour, can pigs love to eat it?"

The wild loquat Li in the back mountain has not tasted, occasionally eat one or two over the mouth, eat it every day and it is not sour, is the little pig not afraid of eating sour?

"It's not sour, the rubbed pomace can't taste sour, anyway, my pigs love to eat this, Liu Jindi's cattle sometimes eat it, but there is no pig to eat it, look like this, you can kill the big one by the end of this year."

Li couldn't stop smacking his lips with envy, and the two stood next to the pigsty and chatted around the pig for a while, and finally Li saw that it was not early, clapped his hands and went home to steam cakes.

Liu Guiyuan walked back with the dirty basin for feeding pigs, and happened to see her second sister coming back with a dung basket on her back, and asked her curiously: "Why did you come back so soon, there is not much grass in the field?" What about the eldest sister behind? ”

The eldest sister and the second sister went to the watermelon field to weed grass today, and a few days ago, they first grabbed the maize field, and the watermelon field grew again. This is how the farmer farms, not the autumn harvest is not busy, and they can still find work in the field.

Liu Peanan's little face was pale, the whole person was wilted, hunched over and threw the dung basket to the ground, and then covered his stomach and said: "I'm coming to Kwai Shui, my stomach hurts so badly, go home and lie down first, there is pigweed in the dung basket, you look at it and clean it up yourself." ”

"Ah, second sister, you're finally here, come into the house and lie down, I'll make you a bowl of sugar tea."

Liu Guiyuan was quite happy to hear the news, after all, if she remembered correctly, this was the first time her second sister came back to Kwai Shui, 12 and a half years old, this age is neither early nor late, but looking at the second sister like that, it is not very comfortable, and I don't know if it will have menstrual cramps in the future.

Liu Huahua nodded, shook his body and entered the house, Liu Guiyuan followed behind, and hurriedly made her a bowl of sand sugar water, the family wants to do ice powder business, and there is always no shortage of sand sugar.

"Second sister, drink a little, I guess you are a little cold, eat less cold in the future, eat more red dates, ginger, these warm ones, give, sand sugar water."

Among the three sisters, her second sister is the most greedy for cold and heat, and she doesn't stop eating two bowls of ice powder every day, anyway, she makes ice powder at home, so she and her eldest sister never thought of reminding her.

Liu Huahua drank two sips of his stomach, his stomach was warm, but his body was warm, so he had to hold a bamboo fan and fan it desperately, and after fanning it for a while, his stomach was cold and swishing, and he was still afraid of the cold.

When the eldest sister came home, the second sister's situation was a little better, but she was still not energetic, Liu Guiyuan saw that she had finished drinking the sugar water, and wanted to make another bowl for her, but Liu Huahua hurriedly shook her head and said with a bitter face: "Don't, I've been to the toilet several times, and I can't drink it." ”

Liu Guiyuan thought about it for a while, and said: "Then how about I make you some sand sugar ginger slices, put more sugar, eat sweet, no ginger flavor, and no spicy mouth." ”

Her second sister doesn't like to eat ginger, and she usually picks it out and puts it aside when she eats it, so Liu Guiyuan thought about changing the tricks for her and making a sand sugar ginger slice that can warm the palace.

Liu Guiyuan washed ginger slices in the hall house, ready to cook in the pot, Liu Hongjube went out to clean up the pigweed, took it to the chopping board next to the chicken coop to chop, Liu Guiyuan passed by her, just saw a large handful of red and bright trumpet flowers, suddenly had an idea, asked her sister to pick some petals out.

"What do you want trumpets for, dye your fingernails? This one is not as good as impatiens dyeing. Liu Hongzao thought she wanted to dye her nails.

"No, I'll grind a little flower juice to mix colors, and the ginger slices will look good when the time comes."

Liu Guiyuan said with a smile, and Liu Hongjube said that she had a lot of tricks, but she still picked out the trumpet flowers one by one, washed them and sent them to Liu Guiyuan.

Liu Guiyuan took the trumpet flower, smashed it for her and filtered the flower juice, and then used this flower juice to color the boiled ginger slices, so that the dyed ginger slices would have a bright red color similar to coral branches, which looked particularly appetizing.

After dyeing, the ginger slices are mixed with honey, and the last step is to bake, she didn't have an oven, so she thought of a local method, burning the fire under the stove, spreading the adjusted ginger slices on the side, and slowly smoking and roasting with the remaining fire.

This snack has a nice name, called dyed ginger candied fruit, which Liu Guiyuan saw on a food show before, it is said that this is a snack commonly eaten by the people of the Song Dynasty, but I don't know if anyone knows or made it now.

After a bowl of bright red ginger slices was ready, Liu Huaanhua reached out and took a slice and put it in his mouth, it was really sweet, there was no ginger flavor when he ate it, and after eating it in his stomach, his body immediately sweated.

After eating several slices in a row, Liu Huahua felt that her stomach was warm, not like the chills before, and after a while, she felt that the sunflower water was gushing down, and when the sunflower water flowed out, the pain was reduced a lot.

"Longan, the sand sugar ginger slices you made are really useful!" Liu Huahua is not so uncomfortable, and he can make expressions on his face.

"Second sister, you have to love to eat, I will often make it in the future, but there is no sugar here, what I bought before is honey, which is sweeter than sugar and tastes more moist." Liu Guiyuan is still quite particular about eating.

The eldest sister tasted a few slices, and sure enough, she couldn't eat the ginger flavor, and the sweetness of the honey was all in the ginger, so she said: "I eat it like candied fruit, the more I eat, the more flavorful it is, and the color is also well adjusted, peanuts, you don't know yet, this is longan with trumpet flower juice." ”

Liu Huahua nodded hurriedly and echoed: "I don't eat like ginger slices, it's as delicious as the dried apricots and peach slices we bought in Caizhenzhai before." ”
