Every year around the Qingming Festival, Qi Lele's grandmother will make some moxa and sell it in the restaurant, and there are many people who order it. Qi Lele's favorite dim sum also has a place for mugwort.

Thinking of her grandmother, Qi Lele's mood was a little low, and her heart was a little depressed, seeing that Qingming was about to arrive, she couldn't even sacrifice her grandmother.

"Sister-in-law! Is that just a point and a tender place?"

The immature child's voice recalled Qi Lele's thoughts, she came back to her senses, looked at the little girl holding a piece of tender green, looked at her expectantly, and couldn't help but squeeze out a smile: "Yes! You can pinch a little more, and the one down there is also very tender."

Xie Sixian nodded, pinched it again, and after Qi Lele nodded, she gently put it in the dustpan.

"Sister-in-law, you're amazing! My eldest brother is so blessed that he is beautiful and skillful, and he can cook so many delicious foods!"

is obviously a villain, but he pats his ass seriously, which is so cute that it is very cute.

Qi Lele smiled and said, "Sister-in-law has such a beautiful and lovely sister-in-law, which is also a great blessing!"

Xie Sixian was amused and giggled, and the crisp children's voice made people feel happy both physically and mentally.

"What kind of stuffing do you want to eat? Peanuts and sesame seeds, or pure black sesame filling?"

Xie Sixian said without hesitation: "Pure black sesame filling!"

Qi Lele smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll make black sesame stuffing today!"

In fact, there are not too many fillings that can be wrapped in mugwort, and they can be sweet and salty, but it must be too late today, so Qi Lele picked two convenient ones for the little girl to choose.

While the two were talking, they plucked out the tender stems and leaves of wormwood, washed them with water two or three times, and then put them in boiling water to boil a cup of tea.

Taking advantage of this time, Qi Lele fried the black sesame seeds, mixed them with some sugar, and crushed them together for later use.

When the wormwood is almost cooked, scoop it up, rinse it in cold water, and mash it into a paste.

Xie Sixian was originally eating sesame seeds in small bites, but when she lowered her head, she saw the pot of green paste, only to feel that the aroma of sesame seeds on the tip of her nose was covered by the smell of mugwort leaves and grass, and she showed hesitation: "Sister-in-law, can you really eat this?"

Qi Lele couldn't help laughing: "Don't look at it ugly now, just wait!"

After that, I scooped some glutinous rice flour, added hot water and, and when it was almost done, I added wormwood paste to it, and then added a little sticky rice flour to knead it into a soft dough.

At this point, Xie Sixian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, this green flour dumpling is much better than the green paste just now! The taste is not so punchy either.

"Sister-in-law is amazing!"

Qi Lele took a small piece of dough, kneaded it slightly in the palm of his hand, pressed the thumbs of both hands in the middle of the dough at the same time, and the other four fingers turned quickly outside, pressing out an inner wrapping filling, gradually forming a semicircular coat, and then adding sesame filling to the inside, and finally sealing the small mouth and pressing it to the grapefruit leaf.

A small and cute green dumpling is ready!

Xie Sixian's eyes were round: "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"

"Yes."

"This one looks delicious!" Xie Sixian sighed and asked again, "Can I take it to my mother first?"

"Go, watch your step."

Xie Sixian held the mugwort and walked out cautiously.

Qi Lele continued to wrap mugwort, these people in the family are greedy, it is estimated that there are no three or four can't stop it, plus there are more than a dozen people on Uncle Wang's side, at least several cages are enough.

"I'm tired all day, don't rest for a while, what are you busy with?"

Qi Lele turned his head and couldn't help but smile when he saw the person coming: "Mother."

Su Yaxian said: "They are used to being greedy, don't be too indulgent, otherwise they will always pester you."

"It doesn't take much effort."

Su Yaxian looked at it for a while: "It looks like it's similar to making dumplings?"

Qi Lele nodded: "It's really similar to tangyuan, and it is also glutinous rice flour, that is, some tender wormwood is added to it, and it is bigger than tangyuan, and most of them are steamed and eaten."

"Then I'll try it too."

Although Su Yaxian is already ***, her hands are stretched out, but they are white and slender, and there are not too many traces left by the years. Such a pair of hands is very pleasing to the eye, but in a moment's effort, a small and round mugwort is ready.

Qi Lele hurriedly handed over a grapefruit leaf: "The mother's bag is so beautiful!"

Su Yaxian said with a smile: "I taught you Aunt Wang's skill of making dim sum, and now that she is older, she doesn't want to toss."

"Where is my mother old? It's in its prime."

"Sweet mouth!" Su Yaxian said: "In the future, if you want to make something delicious, come and inform me in advance, don't always work alone, what should I do if I am tired?"

Qi Lele's heart warmed: "Okay, thank you, mother."

The two were talking, but the movements under their hands were not slow, and they quickly wrapped a drawer, and Qi Lele hurriedly put it on the steamer and steamed it.

"I heard Zi'an say, do you want to do the business of sesame paste?"

Qi Lele was suddenly a little nervous, but she forgot that in this era, children don't seem to be able to do business in private beyond their elders: "Is there this idea, does my mother think it's okay?"

Su Yaxian smiled, "Of course you can! It's right that you have this heart, as women, we don't have to worry about more money, and we don't have to worry about more skills."

Qi Lele also laughed: "Thank you, mother!"

"For such a thing as trading, you come up with ideas and manage the money, and let the men do the tiring things, don't tire yourself."

Qi Lele nodded obediently: "I remember."

"In the future, you can just do what you want to do, if Zi'an doesn't want to, you can tell me."

"Thank you, mother!"

Su Yaxian said softly, "Good."

When the two of them wrapped the second drawer, the mugwort in the previous drawer seemed to be ripe, and a unique fragrance of wormwood spread, mixed with a trace of food aroma, just smelling this aroma, I felt that the taste of this mugwort would not be bad.

Qi Lele took out one, put it in a small disk, and handed it to Su Yaxian: "You taste it, be careful of scalding."

Su Yaxian took it with a smile, looked at it carefully, and praised it twice, then took a small bite, and suddenly felt that her mouth was full of fragrance, the skin was soft and glutinous, and the inside was soft and sweet, which was really wonderful.

"Mother, is it delicious?"

The two turned their heads, and saw that there were a few more pairs of eyes at the kitchen door, and they all looked at the mugwort in Su Yaxian's hand that had been gnawed a gap.

Su Yaxian couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You don't have a shortage of food and drink on weekdays, why are you so greedy?"

Qi Lele pursed his lips and snickered, took a plate and packed several more for them to share and eat.

For dinner that day, everyone really ate very little, if it weren't for Su Yaxian's restraint, I'm afraid they would all have to eat mugwort as food.

Xie Zi'an was still unsatisfied, and he regretted that he didn't go to the kitchen to accompany his daughter-in-law to make snacks today.

Su Yaxian saw his thoughts, her eyes were full of smiles, and she turned to Xie Dai and said, "Marrying Le'er, Zi'an has a lot of fireworks."

Xie Dai didn't answer, and thought to himself: It's not just him, didn't you start to enter the kitchen too?

In the evening, as soon as it was dark, Qi Xiaojin and Qi Xiaoyin's brothers came and sent some food: "Mother said to give you an emergency first, and we will slowly pull the rest over, the silver is not in a hurry, and then we will calculate it together when it is over."

Xie Zi'an thanked them and invited them into the house to sit, but the two refused.

Qi Lele filled a dozen mugwort for them: "This is a freshly made dim sum, you can also taste it."

Qi Xiaojin took it and said with a smile: "What is this, it smells all fragrant."

"It's mugwort, if you like it, I'll give you some next time."

"Okay, then let's go back first."

Xie Zi'an and Qi Lele sent them off for a while before walking back, and Xie Zi'an suddenly said, "I only ate two mugwort tonight."

Qi Lele deliberately didn't understand: "I also ate two, it's delicious, right?"

"Uncle Wang's good seed has arrived,

Are you going to go into the city with you tomorrow?"

Qi Lele was not fooled: "I won't go, you can accompany Uncle Wang to buy it."

"I was going to bring sesame oil and tahini tomorrow to ask, but since you don't go, let's talk about it next time."

Knowing that this was a bait, Qi Lele still couldn't help but take the bait: "You found the right buyer so quickly? We don't have much left from last time, will we have enough to sell?"

"Bring it to him to taste it first, and then negotiate the price before talking about it."

That's the same thing.

"Then I'll go with you."

Xie Zi'an bowed his head and said, "That mugwort ......."

Qi Lele was speechless and said, "I hid two in the room, and we will each have one at night!"

"Madame is wise!"

Early the next morning, the two got into the carriage, as usual, Wang Yuzhong drove, and there was a middle-aged man beside him, one of the two families, Chang Qingyun, who specially went with them to select good breeds.

When they entered the city, several people took the lead to buy seeds, Wang Yuzhong led the way, Chang Qingyun picked the seeds, Xie Zi'an and Qi Lele followed behind, basically silent.

This is a grain shop, selling all kinds of staple grains, Qi Lele looked at them one by one, the quality of the goods looked good, of course, the price reported by the shopkeeper was also very good, far more expensive than the price that Chen helped her buy.

The good seeds are all in the backyard, and there are not many people who want to buy them, listening to the meaning of the shopkeeper, if it weren't for the fact that the owner of this grain shop is familiar with Wang Yuzhong, he won't bother to find good seeds for them.

But just listen to this, can't the money-making business be pushed out?

When it was time to settle the bill, Wang Yuzhong suddenly retreated behind Qi Lele, and when the shopkeeper looked up, Qi Lele instantly came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "How much money is there for the calculation of the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper gave a number.

Qi Lele turned his head and asked, "How many acres of land are we buying enough seeds to plant?"

Chang Qingyun replied: "I bought 10 acres of cottonseeds, 10 acres of corn, 20 acres of sesame, 10 acres of soybeans, and a package of various vegetable seeds."

Qi Lele: "......"

"We don't have that much land in our house for the time being, right?"

Xie Zi'an said softly, "Maybe it will be soon, be prepared."

God-like preparedness!

Qi Lele coughed lightly: "Ten taels is too much."

Shopkeeper: "......"

"Although it's a good breed, the price can't be too outrageous, right? Because we first arrived here, we wanted to buy good seeds from your store in order to save trouble, but at such a price, I might as well ask someone to go to the village to help me harvest the seeds. The shopkeeper said yes?"

The shopkeeper said, "This good seed of mine is not comparable to others, but I specially asked someone to transport it from afar."

"I'll have to think about it again." Qi Lele sighed: "Orange is orange in Huainan, and orange is orange in Huaibei. Seeds from other places may not be able to adapt to the local soil and water."

The shopkeeper couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead: "It's too little."

"It's a lot, shopkeeper, then, you can at least earn two taels, right? Everyone is a trader, and the profits are geometric, and they all have rods and scales, and no one can be fooled by anyone."

"Madame, we are all small businesses, and we don't have that much profit."

Qi Lele smiled: "The shopkeeper is too modest, where is the small business of two checkouts?"

The shopkeeper wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead again: "It's too little, how can there be such a direct cut in half?"

"It's a lot, the shopkeeper just heard it, there isn't so much land at home at this time, I watched your seeds sell okay, so I thought about buying it first, but I can't get my hands on it at your price."

Xie Zi'an said, "Since Madame is too expensive, let's go to another house to have a look."

"It's fine."

After that, Qi Lele raised his legs and was about to leave.

The shopkeeper is busy: ,! I'll send someone to my wife at once!"

Qi Lele bowed his head, Xie Zi'an

Pay.

After leaving the grain shop, Qi Lele asked, "Uncle Wang is familiar with the owner of this grain shop, will it be bad for me to be like this?"

Wang Yuzhong said: "But the friend of wine and meat, it can't be taken seriously, besides, doesn't he also want to kill me?"

Qi Lele: "......"

He is a man who understands!
