The happy little days of the Ye family

The rooster of the Ye family next door crowed three times, but Ye Qingqing still didn't hear it, and finally woke up to the smell of breakfast.

Tang Xiaojing in the kitchen specially made pure rice porridge and beautiful poached eggs for Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing had long been tired of boiled eggs, and recently fell in love with poached eggs. Tang Xiaojing would fry two poached eggs for Ye Qingqing every morning.

In addition, there are pickled beans specially made by Ye Mu for Ye Qingqing on the dinner table.

The sour beans were so sour that Tang Xiaojing couldn't bear to eat even a small pod. Every time he watched Ye Qingqing take big bites, he would feel a sore tooth inexplicably.

The child in Ye Qingqing's belly was more than three months old. Her originally flat belly was slightly bulging, and the clothes that used to fit just fine were now a little tight.

Fortunately, he had made two sets of loose clothes before, so Ye Qingqing took a set of loose clothes from the closet and changed into them.

Ye Qingqing had washed up, and Tang Xiaojing had already prepared breakfast.

Since the past few days, Ye Qingqing's nausea and vomiting have completely disappeared. Now Ye Qingqing has a huge appetite, eating one person and two people to make up for it, and his appetite is almost as big as that of Tang Xiaojing.

Ye Qingqing drank three large bowls of white rice porridge and ate two fried eggs with the sour beans made by Ye Mu. Tang Xiaojing on the side was worried that she had eaten too much.

Tangshan still has experience, saying that Ye Qingqing is now taking two supplements for one person, and it is normal to eat more.

After breakfast, Tang Xiaojing sent Ye Qingqing to Ye's house first, and then went to Stone Mountain to take care of the herbs on the mountain.

When Ye Qingqing came to Ye's house, the roast duck and chicken had just come out of the oven, and the smell of meat filled the yard. Ye Qingqing, who had just eaten, was a little hungry again.

Ye Qingqing swallowed unconsciously as her big round eyes stared straight at the roast chicken that was crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside.

Seeing that Ye Qingqing was greedy, Father Ye on the side pulled off a big chicken drumstick for her.

"Looking at how greedy you are, you are still polite to dad. Just eat it."

Ye Qingqing didn't show any politeness, took the big chicken leg and started to chew on it.

"My mother and sister-in-law's cooking skills are getting better and better, and the roast chicken and duck at home are much more delicious than before."

"If it tastes good, eat more of it. There will be no shortage of your meat in the house."

Father Ye quickly packed up the roast duck and chicken, and moved the pastries and braised pork items to the donkey cart.

As soon as Ye Qingqing finished eating the chicken legs, Father Ye drove the donkey cart out.

In fact, Ye's father has been troubled recently. Ye Qingqing also knows that the business of the braised pork shop is getting worse and worse. Ye's father often sighs after coming back from the grocery store.

The braised pork recipe I found before has never been developed. The braised pork made according to the recipe is mediocre, worse than the braised pork made by Ye's father now.

Although the braised pork shop has re-made spicy braised pork and added 4 kinds of pastries, over time, everyone got tired of the pastries and spicy braised pork.

In addition, Yan's Braised Pork Shop, which has better taste and location, is grabbing business from the front, and the business of Ye's Braised Pork Shop is getting worse and worse.

In the past month, Ye's father has only been able to do business for half a day, selling roast chicken and duck in the morning, and some bacon rice and pastries at noon.

It was deserted in the afternoon, and there were not many people in the shop for a long time. I could only eat melon seeds and chat with Ye Donglin.

In the past, when there was only one braised pork shop, Ye's father's braised pork shop could earn four to five taels of silver every month. Now, it is worse than every month. Last month, it only earned 2 taels of silver.

After deducting the cost to Gongzhong, the money he earned was not as good as setting up a stall at the dock, or even as much as when he was a peddler.

Ye's father's braised pork is not as good as Yan Dafu's, but he also has roast chicken and roast duck.

Father Ye has also been thinking recently. There is no business in the afternoon anyway, so why not just go to the North Street stall to sell roast duck and chicken in the afternoon.

Father Ye was always worried when he went to the shop.

The shop's business was half-dead, and it was really boring. Father Ye missed the days when he was a salesman and set up a stall on the dock.

Everyone has long been tired of the four kinds of pastries sold in the shop, and Wang Chunyu has been researching new pastries.

Before, Wang Chunyu went back to her parents' home and learned how to make a kind of horseshoe cake with an aunt there. I heard that it was a pastry passed down from other places.

Wang Chunyu has been making water chestnut powder for the past two days, and has been adjusting the sweetness of the water chestnut cake and other small details.

When Ye Qingqing went back to the house to do embroidery, Wang Chunyu came out with half a basket of horseshoes.

Water chestnuts are also called water chestnuts. They taste crisp and sweet. People here usually use them to make soup.

Wang Chunyu peeled the water chestnuts and cut them into uniformly sized pieces for later use.

Add appropriate amount of water to the water chestnut powder and stir into a fine slurry. Then add the chopped water chestnuts and mix well into the flour slurry.

Then it’s time to boil the sugar water. The sugar cubes are boiled with water until they are completely dissolved, making a sweet sugar water. Then add the hot sugar water to the slurry just made and stir evenly.

Wang Chunyu put a layer of rapeseed oil evenly on a large flat plate, and then poured the prepared powder slurry into the plate.

Steam the flour slurry over high heat for half an hour and it will be cooked through. When the water chestnut cake is cool, you can cut the water chestnut cake into small pieces.

The prepared water chestnut cake is ice-cold, soft, glutinous, sweet and crispy, and has a very rich texture. And it’s crystal clear and very beautiful.

The water chestnut cake had just come out of the oven and before it had cooled down, Ye Qingqing was greedy again after smelling the sweet smell.

Having just eaten a big chicken drumstick, Ye Qingqing was embarrassed to say that she was greedy again, and silently lowered her head and continued to embroider handkerchiefs.

After the water chestnut cake is completely cool, Wang Chunyu cuts the water chestnut cake into uniform diamond-shaped pieces.

The water chestnut cake had just been cut, and Wang Chunyu couldn't wait to taste a small piece. The outside was sweet and chewy, and the water chestnut inside was crunchy. It tasted very wonderful.

And the taste of the recipe this time is also good, the syrup is just right, and the sweetness is moderate. Wang Chunyu feels that this is the best time he has done.

Wang Chunyu took the cakes to the hall, and just when he was about to call someone out to taste them, Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin came over after smelling the smell.

"Sister-in-law, this pastry is so beautiful."

This was the first time Ye Qingqing saw this kind of crystal clear pastry. He held it in his hand and looked at it for a while before he was willing to eat it.

Ye Xilin, who was on the side, had already started eating, "Sister-in-law, this pastry is delicious. The water chestnuts inside are crispy, and the transparent pastry on the outside is very tough to eat, and the texture is quite special."

The siblings were full of praise for the horseshoe cake. Wang Chunyu was very happy to see that they liked it.

People nearby are tired of eating the previous pastries. It seems that this horseshoe cake can be sold in the shop.

After a while, Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye also came over.

There is no horseshoe cake here in Luohe Town. It is also the first time for Mrs. Ye and Ye Mu to see this kind of cake.

Mother Ye ate two pieces in a row, "This pastry is ice cold and has a very unique texture. I think the boys in the academy will definitely like it."

"This pastry is really special and has a wonderful texture." Mrs. Ye is also very optimistic about this water chestnut cake.

Several people were full of praise for the horseshoe cake made by Wang Chunyu, and Wang Chunyu started peeling the horseshoes again with great interest.

I plan to make some more water chestnut cakes in the evening and take them to the shop to sell tomorrow.
