Be a little landlord

Chapter 28 Muddy Waters

The first time Lin Lixuan tried was ice skin mooncakes. Snow skin mooncakes did not need to be baked. Under the conditions of ancient times, it was relatively easy to make.

The appearance of the small and exquisite moon cake is like the wooden mold in his hand. It is a circle surrounded by waves. In the center is a blooming peach blossom. This mooncake made by Xuan, the bean curd filling is mixed with the glutinous rice skin on the outside. The snowy mooncake that should be milky white looks dirty, and the edges of the flower shape are crooked and not formed. It looks like it was eaten by a mouse. a mouthful.

The viscosity of the glutinous rice flour still needs to be adjusted. It is very soft when pinched in the hand. Lin Lixuan took a bite of the mooncake he made by himself. Unexpectedly, the taste is not bad. The glutinous rice skin is sweet and moist, and the red bean paste is sweet but not It is greasy, but, after all, it is a snow skin moon cake, if the skin is frozen at a low temperature, it will be more delicious.

Ugly is a bit ugly, but it tastes good anyway, so it can be considered a success.

Of course, the success of Taste can also be attributed to Brother Yan. The glutinous rice skin and bean curd filling are all prepared by him. Lin Lixuan only provides ideas. If he made it himself, it is estimated that the food in the mouth is either too sweet to be too sweet, or it is so bland. Leaves a mouthful of beany cake.

Some people are born with culinary talents, and they are born with a steelyard in their hearts. How much salt and ingredients are needed to make this dish, they are clear in their minds, and they don't need to estimate at all. "; and some people, even if they follow the recipes, calculate and prepare them with extreme precision, the meals they make are not satisfactory.

The ice skin and the ice skin still need to be chilled, wait two days to buy some saltpeter, and use saltpeter to make ice to make a simple ancient small refrigerator.

Just as Lin Lixuan was thinking about it, Brother Yan had already printed out several exquisite small mooncakes. Four or five small mooncakes were placed on a white oval porcelain plate by his skillful hands. The aroma, just looking at it will make your index finger move. Brother Yan has never seen such a delicate and lovely food since he was a child.

The snacks Yan Geer saw when he was a child were either dried dried fruit or hard biscuits. Crude farm sweets, even if they are dry and hard, are still the best food in his eyes. When he was six or seven years old, on his grandma's birthday, he still remembers the scene where his mother hid half of the sweets and secretly fed them to him... ...

"Brother Yan, what you did is so beautiful." Lin Lixuan felt a little jealous in his heart, as if he had put in all his effort to accomplish something, but who knew that he hadn't had time to show off the result loudly, but Find out that people around you do things better.

Brother Yan, who was praised, smiled shyly, his eyebrows crooked, and two familiar dimples shyly came out to say hello to familiar people. For some reason, Ji Yan suddenly took the courage to pinch a piece of moon cake and feed it to Lin Li. Xuan eat.

His eyes sparkled with anticipation, and the hand holding the mooncake was covered with a lot of glutinous rice flour, adding a layer of haze.

Lin Lixuan raised his eyebrows, looked straight into the other's eyes, and slowly turned his head to bite on the mooncake. He intentionally bit the edge, near the position of Brother Yan's finger, and licked the other party openly.

Fingers were swept by the other party's soft lips, as if a cat's paw was scratching his heart, Brother Yan's face turned red involuntarily. I ate the moon cakes by myself, and even licked the remaining powder on my lips.

Unconscious teasing is the worst, and Lin Lixuan bows down.

"I... I'll take it for my mother to taste..."

"Well, go, by the way, save a few for Brother Yu."

"Okay..."

Brother Yan showed Zhao Liniang the mooncakes he had made. Looking at these exquisite and delicate mooncakes, they were so beautiful that people couldn't bear to destroy them, "I still don't want to eat them. You can eat it. "

Brother Yan smiled, "Mom, try one."

"Okay, then I'll eat the ugliest one." Zhao Liniang pointed at the porcelain plate.

Brother Yan suppressed a smile: "Brother Lin did that." Ji Yan deliberately put it up for comparison. Brother Yan is no longer the simple brother Yan he was back then, and the "wind of comparison" has already blown in his heart.

"No wonder." Zhao Liniang laughed, she knew how much her son weighed, "Then I'll try Xuan'er's."

"It tastes good." Zhao Liniang is getting old and doesn't like too sweet Things, but she likes this soft and sweet mooncake very much. After tasting one, the pair of "thief hands" continue to stretch out the next one--at this time, there is no feeling of "compassion and pity".

After eating, Zhao Liniang clapped her hands, "Remember to wash your face when you're done, look at this forehead..."

Besides making mooncakes, Lin Lixuan and Brother Yan also tried to make other foods, such as flower rolls, Soup-filled steamed buns, stuffed tofu, glutinous rice balls... Zhao Liniang ate to his heart's content, "What's wrong with you two, why do you have any ideas on how to eat more, I haven't seen it in the county."

Lin Lixuan silently gave the credit to Yan Brother: "Brother Yan is good at craftsmanship." It is true that Brother Yan is good at craftsmanship, so he taught Brother Yan a basic way of making flower rolls. Who knows that others can learn from one another and come up with tricks, probably because they met Lin Lixuan to customize The exquisite mooncake moulds, plus I have also learned to draw for a long time, and I have a certain aesthetic, Ji Yan really seems to be enlightened, and the food I make is as exquisite and beautiful as the other.

Brother Yan boasted to each other cooperatively: "Brother Lin has a lot of ideas..."

"I don't know if people in the county like it..." Zhao Liniang was still a little worried.

On the sixth day of November, Lin Lixuan planned to open the store on the seventh day.

The entire shop has taken on a new look. After Lin Lixuan rented the shop, Zhao Liniang felt sorry for her son and gave him a few taels of silver to decorate the shop. Lin Lixuan first asked someone to make a signboard. Now, the four large characters of Lin Kee Restaurant hang on the shop On the top, before it opened, a red cloth covered the plaque.

The inside of the store was also remodeled by a master carpenter, and a unique combination counter was specially ordered. The counter is in an inverted 7-shape, and two hollows are made in the middle of the side near the outside. At that time, the stove and steamer can be put down. The counter There are rows of small square grids on the top, which will be used for food in the future. A simple wooden circular booth is placed at the rotating part of the counter, on which the plates for dim sum can be placed, just like Like a tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, it is both beautiful and beautiful.

On the other side of the wall, Lin Lixuan asked a carpenter to make a rectangular plank and nail it to it, and put benches under the plank to serve as tables and chairs.

Some food that can be stored for a few days has already been prepared and placed in the back, waiting for the opening tomorrow. Lin Lixuan checked the entire shop again to make sure that everything was ready. He turned around and saw Brother Yan who was still depressed , "Brother Yan, what's the matter with you?" The

store is about to open tomorrow, but it's really strange that you seem to be worried.

"I..." Brother Yan was a little hesitant, but he finally said, "I still... told my mother about the day I saw my cousin

sister-in-law." Yan Ge'er can also guess this appearance.

"..." The

result was naturally a bad one, and Brother Yan was taught a lesson by his mother Li Yuee instead.

"You said that you saw Qingqing having a tryst with a strange man at night? How is this possible? I know he is a good boy... You can't talk nonsense like this to damage his reputation. He's pregnant, and at night Who are you going out to meet? Who will believe this kind of words?"

"You child, my mother doesn't know what to say about you... How do you know that it is your cousin sister-in-law? In case the weather is bad, you misread Well, also, it's getting dark, why did you wander around in the dark woods? You found your cousin's behavior strange, and mother thought you and your son-in-law were strange? You two don't go home and run there What are you doing?"

"Is it over?" Lin Lixuan asked.

"..." Brother Yan became more and more aggrieved as he talked, "No, mother still guessed..."

"Do you and Lin Xiucai know that your second aunt urged me to ask you for the tofu curd recipe some time ago? I was moved by your second aunt, and then I told your father when I went home, and my father told me that it was not easy for you to have a way to make money, and told us not to mix it up. Didn't I ask you?"

"Don't hold grudges against your second aunt's family for saying such things, don't wrong Ren Qingqing, he is a good boy, he is very well-behaved and diligent after he gets married, and your grandma is also very satisfied with him... "

...

Lin Lixuan was also speechless, "You said your mother thought we hated your second aunt's family, so she made up such a story to wrong your cousin?

" With his baby's ability, how could he have the potential to lie.

Brother Yan nodded aggrievedly.

"Maybe we are wrong..."

"..."

His little Shuang'er was indeed brainwashed by his mother, and she began to doubt herself, "It doesn't matter if you read it wrong or not, you have already told your mother what you saw, believe it or not, even if Then something really happened—it's not your fault." It's hard

to say about this kind of thing, although they saw it, they couldn't say what it was, and there was no evidence, he and Brother Yan were outsiders after all, just talking It's no wonder that others don't believe you when you talk about the other party's family affairs. However, the Ji family has a big face, let alone whether he and Brother Yan hate his second aunt, even if they really hate her, they are not ashamed to take revenge in this way.

From his point of view, Ji's family is a mess, and he and Brother Yan should avoid this muddy water.
