Young rich peasants

After eating, Zaozi was held by Ye Xiaorong's hand, just like when he was a child.

The two of them reached the main room shaking their hands, the people from Zhu's family were still guarding the two sides, and the team leader was chatting with Lei Shounuo.Zaozi stopped in her tracks and asked, "Brother Lei, where is the child?"

"Daddy is bringing it, I just came back from shopping."

"What did you buy?" Zaozi noticed the cloth bag in Lei Shounuo's hand.

Lei Shounuo bid farewell to the team leader of Zhu's family, took Zaozi's free hand and explained as he walked, "I went to Xiacun to buy some gadgets for my son."

The three of them returned to Mei's Mansion, and little Ayue was in the main room, being fed porridge and water by Mei's daddy, her pink mouth opened and closed, eating happily like a little goldfish, seeing her two daddies When they came back, their mouths stopped immediately, their big eyes stared at them without blinking, and their little hands and feet would wave and kick a few times from time to time.

Zaozi took over from Little Daddy Mei.Little Ayue eats very well, if she doesn't tease him specially, she can quietly drink half a bowl of porridge and water, and the cloth towel around her chin won't get dirty much.It's just like now, when my father or younger father comes back from the outside, if he sees him, he won't eat anything, and the one who came back has to hug him and shake him twice before he will continue to eat.

Lei Shounuo squatted halfway, stuffed his fingers into little Ayue's soft little palm, and was caught immediately, with considerable strength.With a smile, he took out a small rattle from the cloth bag, and played it in front of little Ah Yue. "Look, son, what is this?"

Zaozi has seen rattles before, but not such a small one, and was a little interested, but little Ayue was obviously distracted, he turned sideways and said: "Play after eating, Brother Lei, put it away quickly, Ayue won't even move his mouth gone."

Ye Xiaorong squatted beside him, and asked, "The baby needs to eat, can you lend me to play first?"

Lei Shounuo opened the cloth bag, from small to large, rattle drums of various patterns and styles were lined up, and he waved his big hand, "Take whichever you like."

Zaozi was surprised, "So many?!"

Lei Shounuo said: "Everything looks good, so I just bought them all. Look, they are of different sizes, so Ah Yue can play with them even when she is older, and she can handle small rattles when she was young... Zaozi looks at this, Does the villain above look a bit like you?"

Zaozi muttered, "What do I look like?" The villain painted on the rattle was much shorter than him.

Lei Shounuo smiled and said, "I think it looks quite similar, especially the fleshy nose, how lucky it is."

Zaozi didn't even know what to say, "Brother Lei is living like a child."

Lei Shounuo didn't mind that there was someone beside him, so he rubbed his big head into Zaozi's arms, "I'll just rely on you, Brother Zaozi."

"You're cheating, right?" Zao Zi shoved with a smile on his face, "Be careful not to bump into your son." Lei Shou Nuo leaned forward and kissed little Ah Yue's face, and picked up the rattles one by one to present treasures, "Look at this, I'll let the craftsman Drawn after my son's birthmark."

"When did you steal your son's birthmark?"

"Hey, I'm just drawing when I'm free... And this, look! It's lychees..."

Zaozi responded, and finally took a free turn to talk to Xiao Rong, "Xiao Rong, do you like this?"

"I like it!" Ye Xiaorong laughed out her fleshy double chin, "But every time I go out to play, there are many people following me, and it's just gone, too late to buy."

"Hula la in the past?" Zaozi didn't understand, where did he go?

Lei Shounuo said: "It should be a guard. Wherever Xiao Rong wants to go, the guard will protect and send him directly to the destination. This is indeed quite boring. You can't play anything. But Brother Zhu is not yet fully It’s understandable to be cautious if you have the power to control the Zhu family’s affairs. It’s not bad for him to let Xiaorong go out, but it’s safest to let his confidants protect him at home.”

Zaozi called Xiaosong, took Xiaorong a little further away to play, and asked Lei Shounuo, "So serious?"

Lei Shounuo installed the rattle and put it aside, sat next to Zaozi to play with his son's hands, and said, "It's not serious, a big family like this is so strict when it comes to changing generations, the more important people are to you, the more important you are." To protect it, it will be fine after you get the real power. I just got to know the people of the Zhu family. Brother Zhu has taken the position of the head of the family almost in this period of time. .”

"I hope they settle down soon..."

"Well, in the final analysis, no matter how rich a family is, it will bear as much pressure. You don't have to worry about this in our family."

"That's true." Zaozi never imagined how rich and famous her family was, and it's fine as it is now.

……

One of the most obvious benefits of Ye Xiaorong's return to Magu Village is that everyone has good food again.

On this day, Ye Xiaorong came to Mei Mansion to play again, and brought materials with him, saying that he would teach Zaozi and them how to make crispy candies.

Little Ayue was taken out to bask in the sun by Mei's daddy, and Zao Zi happened to be free, so they went into the kitchen together without refusing.

The ingredients include peanuts, pumpkin seeds, dried osmanthus, black and white sesame seeds, ordinary white sugar and maltose, and oil.Jujube can cook normal meals now, but this is the first time he started making desserts, so he was a little nervous, so he wished that Xiaorong could tell the whole process from beginning to end, and then he would write it down in his notebook.But Xiao Rong has a strong mouth, so the explanation is stupid, and the more anxious he is, the worse he can speak. After a long time of "then, then, and then", he couldn't explain why.

Since he couldn't speak, Zaozi had no choice but to cheer up and watch and learn.

The first thing is to fry peanuts and melon seeds. The heat of frying is very important. It should be cooked but not burnt. Zaozi asked: "How do you know that the heat is ready?" I know."

Peanuts were peeled after they were cooked, and melon seeds were peeled after they were dried. This matter was left to the escort leader who followed Ye Xiaorong.Pitiful for a group of men who wield knives and guns and hold their fingers to do these delicate tasks-Zao Zi knows that brothers can also be guards, and their skills are not bad, but when it comes to kitchen chores, these brothers really don’t One is like a brother.

"Let's continue to make jujubes."

Zaozi didn't care about the peanuts and melon seeds, and when he was distracted, Xiao Rong would stir-fry the sesame seeds.These are things added later, put them aside for now.The next step is to pour oil into the iron wok, add white sugar and stir-fry. When the frying is almost done, add water. Suddenly, there is a loud crackling sound in the wok. Zaozi unconsciously takes half a step back, but Xiaorong's face remains unchanged, with a round face At this moment, he has the demeanor of a chef, and Jiao Zaozi secretly admires it.Sure enough, I am born to be useful. Everyone has something they are good at. If you devote yourself to something you like and are good at, your whole temperament will become different.

"It's a small fire, someone help me." Xiaorong suddenly shouted.

Zaozi hurriedly picked out a few big pieces of firewood, and Xiao Rong kept stirring the syrup, "Zaozi, add that."

"Which one?"

"maltose."

"Okay, wait a minute, it's so sticky." Zaozi panicked and dug into the small earthen pot with a wooden spoon. After digging several times, it was enough for Xiao Rong to eat.

The next step is to stir, and Zao Zi also stirred for a while, the syrup gradually began to bubble, and when it was almost ready, poured the osmanthus petals.Finally, pour the blended peanuts, sesame and melon seeds into the syrup and stir evenly, pour it on the oiled wooden board while it is hot, stack it with another oiled wooden board and press it hard until it is flat, and then put it on while the sugar is still Cut into chunks without cooling.To avoid sticking to the knife, the blade should be oiled first.If you like big ones, cut them into larger pieces, and if you like small ones, cut them into smaller pieces quickly.

This kind of halva is well-made, sweet and crispy, with sweet-scented osmanthus and a faint floral fragrance, you won't get tired of eating a few more pieces.

It is good to hold it on the table in the main room, and everyone eats it while drinking tea, which is very comfortable.

Thanks to Ye Xiaorong's good gesture, the sugar is crisp but not hard, and the peanuts, melon seeds and sesame are crunchy, especially delicious.

Mei Xiaopai came back with little Ah Yue in his arms, and fell in love with it as soon as he tasted it.Little Ah Yue didn't even have teeth yet, and she was drooling while staring at the candy.Mei Xiaopai shook a piece to tease him, "Want to eat it? Don't give it to little Ah Yue. If you want to eat it, grow up quickly."

Zaozi asked: "Ah Yue still can't have a snack like that, it's okay to lick it."

"No," Mei Xiaodi said, "children won't like porridge after tasting the sweetness."

So it turned out that Zaozi hadn't thought of this level yet.

But little Ah Yue is smart, her mouth is flowing, her limp arms keep waving, and she refuses to compromise.Zaozi asked for porridge and water to feed him, but he didn't eat it, so he just stared at the candy.Watching so firmly, he refused to give in after his usual meal.Little Daddy Mei was not as persistent as before.

At this time, Lei Shounuo came back from patrolling the mountain to collect the bill, smelled the aroma and gnawed a piece. He chewed well and felt that someone was staring at him. Little Ah Yue.

Immediately, everyone in the room couldn't hold back their laughter, and the leader of the Zhu family laughed loudly and said, "Your Excellency is smart, especially his obsession with what he wants, you should not underestimate it."

Lei Shounuo was puzzled, "What's the matter? Who is my son looking for?"

Zaozi kicked him secretly, "Who are you looking at, I have been thinking about these for a long time, my son is looking at the peanut candy in your hand."

Lei Shounuo didn't understand even more, "Son, you can eat as much as you want, and if you can't eat, you can still lick it. Come, dad will give you candy..."

Little Ayue finally tasted the sweetness, her mouth chattered non-stop, and her fingers scratched, presumably trying to grab candy, but her body was too small to control the direction.

Ye Xiaorong ate hard all the way, and only now took the time to look at little Ah Yue, and murmured unconsciously: "I want too..."

Zaozi heard something in a daze, and turned around, "Huh? What did Xiaorong just say?"

Ye Xiaorong shook his head hastily, and continued to eat peanut candy.

I wish the team leader of the family had sharp eyes and ears, and took down Ye Xiaorong's muttering to himself just now, and compiled them together in a letter to send back to the master.

He made a lot of peanut candy, Ye Xiaorong packed some for his family and left some for Zaozi and the others before going back.

Little Lei Ayue tasted the sweetness, but she still liked to drink porridge water, so it didn't affect much.
