Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 27 Fruit Pearls
It was the first time for Lin Xuelan and Shen Xi to enter such a small courtyard, and the few maids and wives they brought alone would fill up the small courtyard.Ye Tao hid behind the door, and when she saw that they were about to enter the house, she quickly ran into the room.

"That's my sister Ye Tao, she's a bit shy, don't mind." Ye Xing explained helplessly looking at Ye Tao's running back.

Seeing the simple wooden chairs in the room, Lin Xuelan and Shen Xi were a little overwhelmed, and the maids Qing Zhu and Qiu Ju beside them immediately took out cushions from the carriage and put them on the chairs.

"It's too cold now, I'm afraid the eldest girl will catch a cold." Qiu Ju explained shyly because she was familiar with Ye Xing because she had bought pancakes here a few times.

"It's okay, I didn't think well enough, I'll bring a brazier over here to keep warm." Ye Xing saw Lin and Wang standing stiffly at one side, and quickly comforted them, "Mother, auntie, if you are uncomfortable, please let me know." Go back to your room first, I'm here, don't worry."

Lin and Wang hurriedly left as if they were being pardoned, after all, the way Lin Xuelan dealt with Qingmei just now really scared them enough.

"Okay, show us your new dim sum!" Lin Xuelan slapped the front of her face with her hands. It was hard for her to believe that Ye Xing, who lived in such an environment, could make something that even her cook could not make. dessert.

"Okay, I'll take it out later, I guess it's about the same." After speaking, Ye Xing went straight to the yard.

Qingzhu felt a little strange, "Why do you want to go to the yard with the snacks, isn't it the kitchen?"

The others also looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Ye Xing's gourd.

After a while, Ye Xing came in with a plate of pink roses, Lin Xuelan was disappointed and said, "I thought you were going to show me something, but it turned out to be your flower-shaped biscuits."

Ye Xing shook her head, picked up one flower from the inside and handed it to her, "This is not a biscuit, you will know when you taste it."

While Lin Xuelan was hesitating, Shen Xi took the initiative to take the dim sum from Ye Xing's hand, "Let me try it first, sister Lin won't mind?"

"Then you eat first."

After Shen Xi ate crystal crispy pear slices, she trusted Ye Xing's craftsmanship very much. She took a small bite, and the crispy taste was beyond her expectation, so she quickly took another bite.

"Hmm! It's crispy and sweet, not only has a fruity and crispy aroma inside, it seems like it also has the aroma of roses, as if it's really a flower!"

Lin Xuelan had been watching Shen Xi's expression intently since she started eating, and when she saw Shen Xi's eyes light up after eating, she knew that Ye Xing was really good at making dim sum.

Only then did she take a closer look at this dessert. It was different from the others who dyed the dessert red to look like a rose. Instead, it has light yellow petals, and the red on the top layer smudges down to make it look more elegant.

Seeing that Lin Xuelan was also interested, Ye Xing quickly picked one up and gave it to her. Lin Xuelan put it on the tip of her nose, and there was indeed a sweet smell of roses emanating from the petals.Lin Xuelan was attracted by the fragrance, and unconsciously took a bite, the fresh and natural taste was exactly as Shen Xi said.

"What did you use to make it? Why is the flour so bland?"

"It's made of cotton apples, only the bottom part is made of puff pastry." Ye Xing peeled off the bottom of the pastry to show them.

"Mian Apple, what kind of fruit is that, why have I never eaten it?"

Qingzhu smiled and said to Lin Xuelan: "The pulp of cotton apples is too soft and not sweet enough. They are mostly sold at stalls on the street. How could the second girl have eaten such things."

Lin Xuelan felt a little unbelievable, "Most of the desserts made at home use fruits like cherries, but I didn't expect that the cotton apples that can be bought casually on the street are even more delicious than them."

Ye Xing thought that the soft apples were better than the cherries, but the conditions in her family were so good that the cook made the already sweet cherries even sweeter.And the meringue roses she made only added a little rose honey on the top to add color and sweetness, highlighting the original refreshing taste of the fruit.

"Sister Lin must believe what I said now." Shen Xi joked.

"I believe it, but why is she so nice to you? I heard that you gave Zeng Chu the crystal pear slices in the first place."

"Because my brother helped Ye Xing." Shen Xi told Lin Xuelan that Shen She had helped Ye Xing twice, and Ye Xing also nodded at the side, and added a few words about the actual situation in due course.

When Lin Xuelan heard that Ye Xing was being bullied, she scolded angrily: "Who in the world are grandparents like this? They kicked their daughter-in-law and granddaughter out of the house and even fought for property. And that Guanshi Wan, I didn't expect him to be so arrogant. On weekdays, when I go to Wanjia Washe to listen to an opera, he nods and bows like a dog, and I will never go there again!"

"Miss Lin, don't be angry, thanks to Mr. Shen's help, the matter is over." Ye Xing sighed in her heart, looking at Qingmei, she knew that the servants of Lin's family also used power to oppress others like Guanshi Wan. It's just that the common people dare not speak out because of Lin Tong's judgment.Lin Xuelan was so well protected by her family, she never thought that Lin's family was much more terrifying than Guanshi Wan in the hearts of the people in Fucheng.

Lin Xuelan didn't notice the strangeness of Ye Xing and Shen Xi, she whispered: "I used to think that Shen She was just like my elder brother, just a nerd who could put on a show, but I didn't expect him to be quite nice."

"Sister Lin, what do you say about brother?"

Qingzhu quietly tugged at the corner of Lin Xuelan's clothes, and Lin Xuelan immediately said: "Ah, no, no. I always heard people say that your brother is very like your father, but I didn't expect it to be true. Good official!" In fact, her father and her brothers said that Shen She was as boring and inflexible as Governor Shen, and since their family came to Xunyang Mansion, many things here are difficult to manage.

Shen Xi likes to hear others praise her father and elder brother the most. Her round eyes turned into crescents when she smiled, and the atmosphere in the room slowly rose like smoke in a brazier.Ye Tao couldn't help poking her head out when she heard the laughter in the room, Lin Xuelan immediately stopped her with sharp eyes: "Child, what are you eating, show me quickly."

Ye Tao pouted and looked at Ye Xing, Ye Xing nodded and she walked over with a small bowl.

"What is this, why is it colorful inside and transparent outside, candied haws?" Lin Xuelan looked curiously at the fruit pearls in the bowl.

Ye Tao saw that this sister dressed like a fairy also wanted to eat her fruit pearls, so she handed out the bowl with her short hands.Her obedient appearance made Lin Xuelan and Shen Xi feel soft-hearted, especially when Lin Xuelan thought of her stepmother's five-year-old sister Lin Xuezhi.

"Why are you so obedient?" Lin Xuelan ignored the maid's stop, and hugged Ye Tao into her arms.

Ye Xing shook her head, turned around and went to the kitchen to bring two new bowls of fruit pearls to Lin Xuelan and Shen Xi.

As soon as the fruit pearls are in the mouth, you can feel the springiness of the outer skin, and the crispness of horseshoe and Sydney in the middle. Once you bite to the end, the sweetness of the fruit follows the outer skin between the teeth.

"It's an interesting feeling, what is the outside made of, and why is it so resilient."

"Yes, there are crunchy pears inside as soon as you bite it down, and the juice inside will all burst." Shen Xi also likes this taste very much.

People in this era mostly used horseshoes to make horseshoe cakes, but none of them thought that horseshoes could be wrapped around fruits like syrup to make another snack. "This is my secret, but eating like this is not enough, I still lack one thing."

Lin Xuelan likes to eat the most on weekdays. When she heard that Ye Xing could cook better, she asked anxiously: "What is it? If you can't find it, I can help you!"
