Li Xiangyang looked at her, and suddenly felt that the roots of his ears were a little hot, and he hurriedly turned his head and pointed to the two big back pockets hanging in the back seat: "I heard that you are looking for these, can you see if it is what you want?" ”

Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said sincerely: "Thank you!" When I'm done baking the mooncakes, I'll be the first to ask you to taste them. ”

"I think ham mooncakes taste good, will you make them?" Li Xiangyang glanced at her with a smile, took out the iron sheet from the back and put it on the eaves.

Lin Lan held the baking tray and smiled: "If there is ham, I can try it." ”

Li Xiangyang smiled and said, "I have ham at home, and I will supply it to you." Every year, in addition to the customized hams made by Lu customers, his family's cured ham has to be handed over to the cooperative in batches.

Lin Lan's eyes lit up: "That's the best, when the earthen oven is finished, I'll try it first." She originally planned to make bean paste mooncakes, egg yolk mooncakes and five-kernel mooncakes, and if she had ham, she could add another variety.

Lin Yuezhen came out with a cup of tea, watched the two of them talking and laughing, pursed her lips and smiled and handed him the honey water.

"You drink water, I'll get you money."

Lin Lan went into the house and took the money, took a bamboo tube of tea and handed it to him: "This is the wild tea that my mother and sister-in-law picked in the mountains and fried it, the taste is okay, you take it back and drink it, I like to bring it to you next time!" ”

Li Xiangyang accepted it happily: "Thank you!" I'll have to go back and prepare the pork for the stall. When he got to the door, he said, "If you want to use ham, tell me, and I'll bring it to you." ”

"Okay."

Lin Lan sent him to the gate of the courtyard, watched him ride away, went back to look at the iron sheet and baking tray on the eaves, and sighed: "Li Xiangyang is really warm-hearted. ”

Lin Yuezhen looked at her and nodded with a smile, thinking: I think he is very enthusiastic about you.

Zhao Dehai helped buy bricks and cement, dug up the clay, and Master Lu came to build the soil oven.

Lin Lan chose the location of the earthen oven in the aisle of the east wing, and Master Lu and his son spent a day to build the earthen oven, leaving only the furnace door and chimney unfinished.

The next day, Chef Lu wrapped the remaining tin sheet around a thick wooden board and fastened it to the door with a hinge, which looked a little similar to the oven in the pastry shop.

Master Lu grabbed the handle and opened and closed it a few times, nodded with satisfaction, and saw that his son had built the chimney as well, so he called Lin Lan and said with a smile: "Okay, bring some grass over, I'll try the flue to pass?" ”

"Okay." Lin Lan went into the house and hugged the straw and gave it to Master Lu.

"Xiaolin, the stove hasn't dried yet, first burn it slowly over low heat, and then you can use it when it's dry." Master Lu said and lit the straw handle and put it into the hearth, and when he saw the smoke floating out of the chimney, he nodded reassuringly: "Okay, let it dry for a few days, and the stove will heat up quickly when it is dry." ”

"Thank you, Master Lu!" Lin Lan politely thanked her, paid her wages, and took some kidney bean rolls and mung bean cakes to send the father and son away.

After the oven was built, Lin Lan bought red paper, bought kraft paper and began to paste paper bags. Xiaodouzi doesn't go out to play anymore, and helps at home every day, Xiaokai and Xiaoyun are here.

With the help of the children, Lin Lan went to buy candy and fruits for them to eat, saw the old pumpkin on the melon vine, and made glutinous rice flour and steamed the old pumpkin to make pumpkin pie for them to eat.

In the afternoon, after Zhao Dehai and Wang Zhixue came to see, they took the time to cut bamboo, found a few pieces of wood from the roof of the pigsty, and built a grass shed obliquely against the wall of the east wing.

Lin Lan asked them to make a row of plant shelves out of bamboo to make it easier to place things, and asked the carver to engrave the name of Lan Xiang Zhai's pastries, which was the name of her previous shop.

She plans to print her name on the wrapping paper, and use this sign to open a shop in the future.

After the oven dried, Lin Lan tested the time it took for each mooncake to bake in the oven with flour, as well as the time it took for the temperature to rise in the oven, and recorded them one by one and pasted them on the wall.

Li Xiangyang learned that the oven was finished, and sent the ham to Lin Lan's house, and said with a smile: "The two-year-old ham I got for you, the ham in this time period tastes the best."

Lin Lan saw that the ham he was carrying was yellow in color and shiny in flesh, and it smelled like a fragrant smell of fried sesame seeds, and praised: "Uncle Li's pickled ham is really good." ”

Li Xiangyang smiled and nodded: "Hmm! The old man's pickled ham is really good, and the broth used to hang it is salty and fragrant. As he spoke, he took a back bag from the back seat, "These watermelons are grown on the pig farm, and they are sent to you to taste."

Lin Lan saw that the back basket was full, and said embarrassedly: "It's too much, just take two and taste it." ”

Li Xiangyang lifted the back to the eaves and put it away: "These are all leftovers picked by fruit sellers, and they are not worth a few dollars." ”

Lin Lan saw that those melons were all round, not like picking the rest, and seeing that he had already put it down, he had to accept it, and said with a smile: "When I finish the ham moon cakes, I will be the first one for you and Uncle Li to taste." So he asked for the ham money and gave him the ham money.

"Then I'll wait, I bought the mooncakes for this year's festival from you." Li Xiangyang took the money handed by Lin Lan and reluctantly rode to Yang Dingbang's house.

Yang Dingbang looked at him and smiled: "The bitter master is not as active as you." ”

Li Xiangyang gave him a blank look: "A few days ago, Ye San's family went to Lin Lan's house to make trouble, did you ask him about his motive for committing the crime?" ”

"Asked!" Yang Dingbang had a gloomy face, "He said that in April, Liu Jinbao asked Lao Gui to hook up with Lin Lan, and he was almost disabled by Lin Lan's sister-in-law, and Lao Gui knocked Liu Jinbao more than 200 medical expenses.

A few days ago, Liu Jinbao was beaten again with a sack, he couldn't swallow this breath, and when he was gambling at the old noble's house, he would give him two hundred to whoever handled Lin Lan.

Ye San's heart was moved, thinking that there were few people who went out in the middle of July, and it was good for people to drink wine and fall asleep after the sacrifice, so he mixed the rat poison that had been prepared long ago with fatty meat, threw it into the yard for Rhubarb to eat, and climbed over the wall into the yard to kill Rhubarb......

Yesterday we summoned Liu Jinbao, but he refused to admit it, saying that Ye San wronged him in order to shirk responsibility.

summoned Lao Gui and Zhang Hua, they also said that Liu Jinbao had never said such a thing, and also said that Ye San heard that Lin Lan was setting up a stall in the eucalyptus forest, and the business was quite prosperous, and he planned to go to her house to get a vote. ”

Li Xiangyang slammed his fist on the table: "What is inferior to pigs and dogs ......"

Yang Dingbang saw that his face was so dark that it was about to drip water, and knew that he was going to attack Liu Jinbao, so he grabbed his shoulders and looked at him: "Don't mess around, no one can stop if you cause trouble."

Liu Jinbao is not treated by the Liu family, but if something really happens, the Liu family will definitely protect it. ”

Li Xiangyang snorted coldly: "I'm not a melon, I'll come to the door in broad daylight." ”

Yang Dingbang advised: "It's okay to teach you a lesson, don't make a fuss, sweep your tail clean." ”

Li Xiangyang nodded: "I know it in my heart." ”

The cat's sister-in-law runs a pastry shop, and I wrote this chapter to consult her.
