The Little Days of the Great Landlord

Chapter 46 The Mold
"I'm really sorry to make you spend money. We can't ask for nothing for nothing." At this time, Mrs. Liu came out, still clutching a few old people's heads in her hand.

"Sister-in-law Liu, from what you said, we bought gifts for Bao'er because we like Bao'er. If you really give us money, our two families will not move around in the future." Wei Qingqing said seriously of.

"If you want to say that, I won't say anything." Aunt Liu collected the money again, thinking about it, she contracted the mountain land by herself, or was it paid for by others.

"That's right," Wei Qingqing said with a satisfied smile, "Have you eaten yet?"

"We're eating! But the food mom cooks isn't tasty at all." Little Baoer replied hastily, holding the learning machine tightly in her arms.

"Little greedy cat, let's go to auntie's house. Auntie's house is delicious." Wei Qingqing held Xiaobao'er's little hand, and the other hand took Liusao's hand, and they walked into the yard together go.

"Let Bao'er go, I'll go home and eat..." It was getting dark, and Mrs. Liu didn't want to go to Yang Ming's house.

"Neighbors, why are you being polite? You are so busy all day that you don't touch the ground, how can you have the time to cook delicious food?" Wei Qingqing said without any explanation, and then dragged her away.

A group of puppies followed closely behind, surrounding them.

"Yeah, after working, you have to supplement your nutrition. Today, Bao'er has made a great contribution. I can finally have a good meal of fried grasshoppers." Yang Ming carried a bunch of grasshoppers caught by Xiao Baoer. , I am drooling so hungry.

"What's on your car? Don't you want to take it off?" Mrs. Liu said when she saw that there were a lot of things on the car.

"It's all old furniture from my parents. It's very heavy. We can just wait until Lao Yang comes tomorrow." Wei Qingqing said.

"Aunt Qingqing, I really like your little flowery dog, can you give me one?" Xiao Baoer looked at the little Dalmatian and said with some eager eyes.

"You child, why do you always want this and that?" Xiao Bao'er is a child and doesn't understand the value of these puppies, but Mrs. Liu knows that these Dalmatians are worth a lot of money.

In fact, Xiao Baoer asked for this purely because of the largest number of Dalmatians. Besides, it is very common in the countryside to ask for a puppy or something.

"Oh? Does little Bao'er like puppies too?" Wei Qingqing remembered that Little Bao'er didn't like kittens and puppies too much.

"Uncle Zhang Yang said that the mountains are full of big bad wolves. What if my mother goes up the mountain alone and is taken away by the big bad wolves? At that time, there will be only Bao'er left in the family. I don't worry if there is a puppy with her mother. "Little Bao'er said.

Although this sentence is innocent, the few people who said it felt a little sad.

"The puppies from Auntie's house can't be given to you, but the mother dog at Auntie's house has given birth to another litter of puppies, and Auntie will get you two in two days." The bitch in Yang Ming's farm space, 9 more puppies have been laid, and after such a long time, they almost opened their eyes.

Little Bao'er was a little disappointed when she heard that her aunt would not give it to her, but when she heard that her aunt would give her two, she immediately cheered up: "Thank you, aunt."

"I know, these Dalmatians in your family are very valuable, not a learning machine..." Children are ignorant, adults have to be ignorant, and Mrs. Liu was about to decline, but she hadn't said anything yet. After finishing, he was interrupted by Wei Qingqing, "It's nothing, it was born by my own dog. It's normal for the neighbors to want a puppy... Our pair of big dogs are also in charge of the neighbors. " In order not to let Mrs. Liu refuse to refuse again, Wei Qingqing even made up nonsense.

"Then, then..." Mrs. Liu did not say anything more.

"Sister-in-law Liu, the mooncakes you make are delicious, can I learn how to make mooncakes from you?" Wei Qingqing said.

"Of course you can. It's quite simple. Come to my house later and I'll teach you." Aunt Liu was also very happy.

"Thank you Mrs. Liu. Let's cook first. After dinner, let's make mooncakes. If my mother eats the mooncakes I made by myself during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she will be very happy." Wei Qingqing said happily.

The night is dark and the moon will be full.

After dinner, Yang Ming and Xiao Bao'er were watching TV at home, while Wei Qingqing followed Mrs. Liu to learn how to make mooncakes at Mrs. Liu's house.

The light in the outhouse of Mrs. Liu's house was on, but the intensity was not high, and the light was very dim.

After washing the washbasin, Mrs. Liu scooped out a scoop full of flour in the bowl with a ladle, only to hear Mrs. Liu explain: "It's very simple to make mooncakes, just knead the flour with dry yeast, and then make buns. Wrap the stuffing in it, put it in a mold, press it into shape, put it in the oven and bake it for about half an hour."

"What's the oven like? Can the oven work?" Wei Qingqing asked.

"Of course the oven is better, but we don't have an oven at home, so I made an oven myself..." Aunt Liu introduced the oven she used to bake mooncakes to Wei Qingqing.

This is a thing built with bricks, similar to a pot, but instead of a pot, it is placed on a large iron plate. On the iron plate is a low iron shelf, which is used to put the baked things. , the lid is like a large iron basin, and the lid fits perfectly.

When using it, burn the fire under the stove to make the iron plate red and radiate hot heat, so that you can bake things.

"Don't tell me, it looks simple, but it's really easy to use. At least it's much bigger than an oven." Wei Qingqing nodded repeatedly.

"Let me teach you how to make dough. You need dry yeast to make mooncakes, just like making dough. By the way, the dry yeast I'm talking about is not born by mothers..." Mrs. Liu poured the flour into the basin, and then In a small can, use a small spoon to scoop out a small spoonful of light brown powder, sprinkle it into the flour, and then mix it with water. "This dry yeast is left over when I made mooncakes last year. It was dried and ground into The powder, save it for next year, the effect is not bad.”

"Is this like flour?"

"more or less!"

After reconciling face to face, let it sit in the basin for a while, and Mrs. Liu began to teach Wei Qingqing how to mix the stuffing: "The stuffing is also simple, you can decide what flavor you want, just like making dumpling stuffing , but sugar will do, and honey would be better."

Aunt Liu used three kinds of fillings: peanuts, melon seeds, and sesame seeds, which she had already prepared for making mooncakes this year.

After mixing the fillings, Mrs. Liu took out a moon cake mold. This mold is very simple. It is a round hole dug out of a thick wooden board, with patterns carved in it.

"This mooncake mold is quite pretty..." Wei Qingqing took it and looked at it.

"Bao'er's father made this by himself. It's been five or six years." Looking at the mooncake molds, Aunt Liu smiled wryly.

"Oh! By the way, Mrs. Liu, are you going to find Bao'er a father?" Wei Qingqing said casually.

"..." Mrs. Liu didn't speak, but her expression turned cold. She took the mooncake mold from Wei Qingqing and started making mooncakes in silence.

Wei Qingqing stuck out her tongue, knowing that her temptation made Mrs. Liu unhappy, and she had to make amends as soon as possible, otherwise the relationship would be cold, so she said, "Really Mrs. Liu, it's poor that Bao'er doesn't have a father, and Yang Ming I really like her..."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Liu's face darkened after hearing Wei Qingqing's previous words, but when she was about to turn her face on, she was taken aback when she heard Yang Ming mentioned.

"I said, Yang Ming likes her very much, and wants to recognize her as his goddaughter..."

"... Oh! What are you talking about..." Mrs. Liu blushed, she thought she had lost her mind, "Of course, I'm afraid Bao'er will be so happy..."

"What happened to you just now? Why is your face so ugly?"

"How dare you say it, you damn girl? You can't even understand what you're saying..."

"Huh?" Wei Qingqing pretended to be stupid.

"It's nothing, nothing..." Aunt Liu touched her rosy cheeks, making mooncakes in suspense.

"Oh...so..." Wei Qingqing pretended to have suddenly realized.

"Qingqing, have you heard? Aunt Zheng Yu is happy. When Uncle Zheng Yu got married, many people in the village said that he was too old to have children..." Mrs. Liu began to change the subject again.

"How long has it been? Can you tell?" Wei Qingqing asked curiously.

"Uncle Zheng Yu wanted to have a child like crazy. He started to go to the hospital for check-ups in the first three days, once a day. When he came back today, the news of Aunt Zheng Yu's happiness spread to the whole village. The third father and third wife were so happy " Said Mrs. Liu.

The third master and third wife that Mrs. Liu referred to were Zheng Yu's parents.

"I see." Wei Qingqing nodded, but her heart felt heavy. If the child was born and was thrown in front of Uncle Zheng's house by Zheng Yu, how would the child's grandparents react?How will the mother of the child react?
After all, the child's mother is young and may still be able to withstand the blow, but what about the two old people?When there is no grandson, the two elders may be nothing, but after having a grandson, and having no grandson, the two elders should not be hit again, just...

Thinking of this, why would Wei Qingqing want to make mooncakes?What Auntie Liu said again, she didn't listen to a single word, only one sentence echoed in her mind: Yang Ming committed a crime.

ps: Ask for recommendation, ask for collection...
