Chapter 11 Peach Blossom Cake

Fu Duoxi looked in the mirror, reached out and touched the corner of the frost flower's forehead, but he didn't see the crystal shining frost flower, not even a trace of the frost flower. I didn't see it in the mirror last night, and I thought the oil light was not good, but now is the time when the sun is the most dazzling, and you can see the subtle fluff on the face from the mirror.

Maybe the frost flower that the Snow Maiden gave her has melted, after all, she is not a fairy.

The little fox demon murmured softly, and a drop of saliva overflowed from the corner of his mouth. I don't know what good things I ate in my dreams.

Fu Duoxi put the mirror back in its place, walked out of the room lightly, and glanced sideways at the bedroom next door, the door was half open, and the black cat demon was taking a nap in the posture of a large cat-shaped card.

The key project of the renovation of the dilapidated thatched hut is the renovation of the bedroom, where the original bedroom is split in half from the middle. Some time ago, the black cat demon turned into a little black cat and slept on the tree, but now he has a separate bedroom and is happy to rest in the room. Sometimes when I was so tired, I just fell on the bed in the form of a man.

Although no one in the village now gossips about Fu Duoxi and Uncle Mi, the uncle and niece will always be talked about when they are in the same room. It's good now......

Fuduoxi picked up Lanzi and walked out of the house, turned his head to look at the home with white walls and red tiles, and his heart was happy, and life was finally living the way he wanted.

"Aunt Huang."

Fudoki shouted through the gate into the courtyard. At this time, Aunt Huang should be at home.

Aunt Huang's husband and youngest son both teach in the county government and can come back once or twice a month, and only during the spring and winter holidays will they stay at home for a while. Usually only she and her little daughter-in-law are at home.

In Nanping Village, the Huang family is a rare scholarly family in the village.

Two wooden doors opened, and a young woman in her twenties stood in the door. The young woman is Aunt Huang's little daughter-in-law named Rong Niang, who looks good and can read and break words, and is closer to Aunt Huang than her own mother.

Aunt Huang's eldest son died early, a daughter married to the county government in her early years, and her husband and son were away from home all the year round.

"Mother, what a joy to come!"

Rong Niang shouted into the window of the main room. Aunt Huang, who was on the kang in the house, poked her head out of the window when she heard the sound, and greeted Fu Duoxi into the house with a smile. Rong Niang invited Fu Duoxi into the main room and sat down, turned around and went to the stove to prepare tea.

Aunt Huang came out of the house, still holding a wooden ruler and talc in her hand.

"I made a new peach blossom cake for Aunt Huang to taste."

Fu Duoxi handed the food basket to Aunt Huang, and when she saw that Aunt Huang couldn't make a move, she put it on the table of the Eight Immortals against the wall.

"Peach blossom crisp? Just listen to the name and it's sure to be delicious. “

Aunt Huang put the wooden ruler on the table, wiped her hands on the placket, pinched a piece of peach blossom crisp and put it in her mouth, squinted her eyes and tasted the taste, and sighed in admiration, "This peach blossom crisp is made from the flowers of the old peach tree in your yard?" It's weird, why did that old peach tree suddenly bloom this year...... How happy, you must have to have a good thing, it is a good omen, it must be a good omen! ”

Aunt Huang couldn't stop talking, and after eating two pieces of peach blossom cake in a row, she caught a glimpse of Rong Niang coming out of the stove, and hurriedly called Rong Niang to greet Fu Duoxi first.

"I'm glad you sit down first, I'm tailoring. It's good in a while, I measured it, there should be a surplus of fabric, and I can also give you a piece of cloth to make a belly pocket, and when the time comes, you can embroider a lotus flower or a peony or something, which can be used as a dowry. ”

Fudo smiled and nodded. Aunt Huang opened the curtain and walked back to the inner room, returned to the kang and continued to work.

Rong Niang walked in with tea, "It's a little hot, I have to dry it for a while before I can drink it." Rong Niang spoke softly and gently.

"My sister-in-law tastes the peach blossom cake I made, the peach blossoms picked when the dew is not dry, each peach blossom is carefully washed with mountain spring water, the stamens are removed, the petals are separated, and then the peach petals are ground into juice and noodles, and then wrapped in puff pastry after fermentation, and the peach blossoms are decorated and baked in the oven......

Fu Duoxi knew that Rong Niang paid attention to food, and deliberately explained the process of making peach blossom cake in detail. Rong Niang was a little fascinated when she heard this, and picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and looked at it in front of her.

Fu Duoxi plans to sell some small snacks in the tea shed, and dim sum and tea are good partners. You have to research the taste preferences of the locals first. If Rong Niang thinks the dim sum is delicious, it should be able to sell it to customers in the tea shed. When the time comes, it can be made into a specialty of Nanping Village, so that the passing guests can be passed on to the Quartet as a souvenir.

"This peach blossom crisp has a good shape and a good color. Just looking at it, I think it's delicious. Rong Niang praised, and took the peach blossom cake close to her nose and smelled it, "There is a sweet smell......" said with one hand to his lips and took a small bite.

A piece of puff pastry floated down from under Rong Niang's finger. The other hand wanted to catch it, but suddenly covered his mouth and stood up, put the bite of the snack back in the food basket, and wanted to talk to Fu Duoxi, but it seemed to be blocked in his throat.

"What's wrong?"

Fu Duoxi looked at Rong Niang's two apologetic glances in a hurry, thinking that Rong Niang accidentally swallowed the peach blossom cake, and wanted to reach out to help pat her back, Rong Niang hurriedly waved her hand and walked out of the room with small steps.

Fu Duoxi hurriedly followed. I saw Rong Niang standing by the wall of the wing room, bending over and retching, and a pair of gentle eyes were about to vomit tears. coughed a few times in a row, and finally spit out a mouthful of white sour water before standing up straight.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Fu Duoxi hugged Rong Niang, afraid that her slender body would bend down again.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry, I'm so happy, I want to vomit when I eat the puff pastry, maybe it will be fine after a while."

Rong Niang smiled embarrassedly at Fu Duoxi, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and then glanced nervously at the window of the main room, "Don't tell my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law will be worried." ”

"Then go back to your room and lie down."

Fu Duoxi watched Rong Niang walk back to the wing room and closed the door.

"How happy, what about Rong Niang? How do you sit alone in the house? ”

Aunt Huang came out of the house, first glanced at Fu Duoxi, and then looked out of the house.

"Rong Niang, she was uncomfortable, she just ate a bite of peach blossom crisp and ran out and vomited a lot of sour water, and said that she wanted to vomit when she smelled the puff pastry."

"Ah, that's okay, Rong Niang is sick! How could I be sick, I was fine in the morning, and I went to the Spring God Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings......"

Aunt Huang was shocked and said that she was going to see her daughter-in-law.

Fu Duoxi followed her and reminded: "I see that Rong Niang's face is fine, it doesn't look like she is sick, could it be that she is happy......"

Fu Duoxi fully demonstrates the common sense and sensitivity of modern people. Aunt Huang stopped and turned around, looking at Fu Duoxi in a daze, as if she didn't understand the words. After a while, he said to himself: "No, I haven't been pregnant for seven years, and now I have?" Really happy? Yes...... God bless, Bodhisattva bless, God and Buddha bless, our Huang family finally has a queen! ”
