Pastoral Song [Farming]

Makino took this opportunity to make shortbread together.

Sift white flour, mix vegetable oil, water, and make a soft dough, wake up for half an hour.Take another flour, oil, and mix into a thick paste.Fry it with a small amount of flour and mix it with sugar as a filling.After the dough wakes up, roll it into a large piece of dough to wrap the batter, then roll it out, fold it in half up and down, and then fold it in half left and right, like folding a quilt, repeat three times to roll up the rolled dough piece from one side, and divide it into small doses For a sub, wrap two spoonfuls of filling and flatten it.

The baking method is the same as that of empty shell moon cakes.These shortbreads are about the size of a baby's palm and can be eaten in two bites.The outer shell is browned, with distinct layers, and it is even more crispy when bitten. Even Jiang Ye, who doesn't like sweets, ate five of them in one go and was not satisfied.

"Amber, Daniel, I made some mooncakes for you. We are not going to set up a stall during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's take a rest."

"Hey, this is something new to make again! You two are too busy on weekdays, it's time to take a break and go out to have fun."

With a kind face on his face, Amber smiled and stretched out his hand to take the oiled paper packets from Makino and opened them. Each one was exquisitely small, baked golden snacks inside, exuding a faint smell of pastry, and the color and fragrance were attractive. Take it out and bite lightly He said, "Brother Mu, how did you make these pancakes, why are they so crispy? The old man with bad teeth can easily crush them."

"Amber, this is a shortbread, and the other is a mooncake. You can serve it with breakfast or as a small dessert."

"You are a child with talent. This little thing can be eaten by my age, okay."

"Then Amber, brother Ye and I went out of the stall."

"Go, light the stove carefully, don't burn it." Amber stood at the door and watched Jiang Ye push the car out, and urged.

"Okay, Amber."

"Boss Mu, what is on your table?"

Qin Yong took advantage of the time when Muye was out of the stall, and came here early.After sitting down, I realized that there are plates of snacks on every table today. The small ones look like pastries, and the big round ones are probably made of noodles, but I don’t know what they are. Boss Mu can always figure out something. He is no stranger to new tricks.

"Brother Qin Yong is back?"

This person is a merchant who traveled far and wide. He often went to other places to find some good things and then sold them at a high price in a place that didn't have such things. He was quick-witted and eloquent.Makino also bought a lot of knick-knacks with him.

"I just came back yesterday, so I came here eagerly, haha."

"It's a good thing that today is here. Isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival? We won't set up a stall tomorrow. I made these mooncakes. Everyone who comes here today has one. When supplies last, it can be regarded as an early wish for everyone's Mid-Autumn Festival." Happy, the Ke family is reunited."

"You little boss, there are obviously two kinds. Isn't this embarrassing?"

"Haha, this is something that can't be helped. Brother Qin Yong doesn't know, this thing is complicated to make, and Brother Ye and I can't do too much, so you should try something new, if you like it, you can make some more when I'm free. "

"Hey, then I'll take this round one, the big one, it looks real."

Qin Yong thought that such a big thing should be quite heavy, and it was better than the small one, which was not enough to fit between his teeth.As a result, I took it hard, and it was so light, and I tapped it with my finger, hey, the sound of "bang bang bang" turned out to be a big belly: "The little boss is used to bluffing people, so this moon cake is empty." , which is quite interesting."

I took a bite of the upper mouth with a "click", and the empty shell shattered, and the mooncake scum fell on the table, chewing it crispy in the mouth, with the unique sour taste of raisins in the light sweetness, not at all With the fragrance of sesame and melon seeds: "Boss Mu, your mooncakes are so good. I, Qin Yong, have eaten a lot of them. Most of them are full of bread, so it's so refreshing. Really, if this force is stronger, I would be afraid of being crushed."

"It's so delicious? Qin Yong, give me half, and I'll give you half of that shortbread, okay?"

At this time, a tall, thin, well-mannered scholar in a light blue robe came in. This man's surname was Tong Mingyao, and he was a loyal fan of bowl balls.

Tong Yao's neighbor is the teacher of the academy in the town. Tong Yao was deaf and blind since he was a child, and his father doted on him. Even a little brother would send him to learn and read every day. It's on the list in one fell swoop.

The time of the Lingnan National Science Examination is somewhat different from the examination system of the Ming and Qing dynasties that Muye knew in his previous life. Although it is also selected every three years, it basically starts in October of that year, not August. Students must first be screened in their respective colleges, and then He is a scholar in the county seat and a candidate in the prefecture city. Only after passing the pass can he be eligible to go to the capital to participate in the spring and palace examinations in February.

"Hey, Tong Yao, you little brother is playing tricks, you agreed to share half with me?"

"Qin Yong, brother Qin, I can't help it? This guy is so delicious, don't look at the thick and small one, it's crispy."

"Then the old man gave you the moon cakes, you little bastard, how can you have a scholar who steals people's food?"

Qin Yong stared wide-eyed, and Tong Yao faltered: "Brother Qin, I'm going to be stupid in studying these days, and I'm just counting on Boss Mu's food to ease the pressure. You let me, and I'll be admitted to you later. Beat me up again?"

"Haha, stop arguing, you two, now that there is no one else, I will give you a few more yuan, and don't let anyone snatch it after you cover it."

So this day, the Mujia stalls will stage a food competition from time to time. It is as lively as a temple fair, and the neighbors in the street are stunned: it is always the bosses begging, hoping that the guests will eat more. , there are customers begging the boss?But it opened my eyes.

"Little boss, make more of this stuff, I will definitely buy it and eat it, it's so delicious, it's not satisfying at all."

"Thank you for liking it, but how can I do it alone."

"Let's talk about the little boss, it's time for you to hire someone."

"Don't worry, it's already being renovated, just the small building next to it."

"Oh, that's a good thing."

Both Makino and Jiang Ye had a holiday for themselves on Mid-Autumn Festival. This was their first holiday together, and it was also his first holiday in this world.I heard that there is a temple fair in the county at night, and famous food stalls from all over the country will rush there, and all kinds of lanterns will be hung along the street, which is very beautiful.Early in the morning, the two of them had a good meal, changed into newly bought clothes, and rode dark clouds to the county.

Makino deliberately got up early in the morning to dress himself up: he braided a small braid on both sides of his forehead, and tied it together with the half of the hair on the top of his head with a light green silk ribbon, and tied a simple bow. The small black jade beads are for matching with Jiang Ye. They look simple and generous without feeling feminine. He also really wants to comb all his hair up and wear black jade headbands, but he has no pierced ears, so he can only be honest. It's really a little brother dressed up.

In the Lingnan Kingdom, because the imprints of elder brothers are all on the shoulder blades on the back, after birth, the family will pierce the ears. In addition to the appearance, wearing earrings is also a way to distinguish the identity of elder brothers.

But after Tian Yu was born, his mother passed away, and the Tian family didn't care about him, so the matter was shelved.Makino is afraid of pain, and he is not going to toss himself now, and then poke a hole in his ear, so in formal occasions, he must strictly follow his brother's clothing to inform others of his identity, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

She was wearing a crescent silver brocade gown embroidered with silver thread, covered with a dark green gauze, the silver embroidered bamboo through the thin gauze, looked real and alive, with wide cuffs hanging down her side, A slender white jade-like hand stretched out from inside, wrapping around the arm of the person next to him.

Jiang Ye's black hair was neatly tied up with a hair crown, and he was wearing a black robe. The narrow sleeves were firmly fixed with silver cuffs, and the embroidered bamboo belt made his body taller and straighter.This majestic, unsmiling man is holding a big black horse with one hand, and tightly holding the little brother who looks like the breeze and the moon next to him with the other. His eyes are full of tenderness, which makes people along the way linger and stop frequently: what a pair of phoenixes. A romantic figure who looks like a dragon!

After leaving Wu Yun to the care of the shopkeeper, Makino and Jiang Ye went out holding hands.

Both sides of the street are already full of stalls, there are sugar paintings, making clay figurines and other handicrafts, as well as small wood carvings, lanterns, masks, and fresh gadgets, as well as hairpins and silk flowers specially designed for boys and girls. There are so many rouge stalls, the people who look at it are dazzled.

Makino held up a bunch of red candied haws in candied haws, looking at this and that: the county is really different, how many of these snacks are there?Fried golden hemp balls wrapped in sesame seeds, fragrant and crunchy twists, sweet and glutinous cakes, fried sunflower seeds, and freshly baked pork...they can’t count them all. Eat Can't finish it all!

Jiang Ye watched the little man chewing this and that, like a little squirrel eating fruit in winter, so cute as hell.

"Brother Ye, what is that?"

The people in the circle in front couldn't see what was going on inside, they only heard someone shouting:

"Left, left, right, right, almost, almost."

"Oh, it didn't work again."

Muye dragged Jiang Ye in and squeezed in. It turned out to be a ring!

"Boss, how do you play this?"

Kid Mu is very playful, don't underestimate him, he is a master of hoops.He played this kind of small game that was necessary for going to the fair in his hometown in his previous life. He played it countless times, and it actually exists here.

"My little brother, five cents and ten rings, come here? Whichever one you trap, it will be yours." The stall owner quickly and enthusiastically passed the bamboo ring over.

"Brother Ye, which one do you want, tell me quickly." Little friend Mu patted his small chest boldly, full of confidence.

"Anything is fine." Jiang Ye pampered the little guy's head and paid the money to the boss.

"Look, Brother Ye, I'm also very good."

call out! "Little brother, almost, almost, come one more."

call out! "Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity, it seems to be hung up."

shhhhhh…

Makino was surprised: It's so strange, why can't you put on any of them, the more you practice the skill, the more you can't wear it?
