It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 91 Teething Stick (February [-]th)

"Sister, shall I make red bean pie and apple pie?" Su Qiao couldn't sit still after she cleaned up her own bowls and chopsticks.

Su Rui sighed, "Take a break, aren't you tired after a busy morning?"

Su Qiao shook her head, a little strange, why is cooking so tiring?

"I'm not tired, I feel full of strength."

Su Rui "...then you can do it."

"Ah."

Su Ying was tired. Even though she just lit the fire and didn't do any other work all morning, she still felt backache.

"Sister, then I'll take Wan'er and Chen Nan to sleep for a while."

Su Rui nodded, "Go."

Su Chenrui stood up, he had been playing all morning today, and he couldn't play anymore in the afternoon, "Sister, I'm going to write big characters."

"Well, you give Mingxu your pen and paper set, and you practice calligraphy together."

Meng Mingzhou glanced at Su Rui and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Meng Mingxu happily held Su Chenrui, God knows how envious he was that Su Chenrui could learn to read.

"Chen Rui, I can write with you in the future."

"Ah."

Although Meng Mingxu has only been at home for two days, Su Chenrui already regards him as a good friend. If it wasn't for his poor health, he would have taken him to go fishing this morning.

"Ah, ah, big sister, hurry up, Chen Nan bites me."

Su Rui was about to stay in a daze for a while, when Su Wan's voice came from the bedroom.

"Hey...here we come." Su Rui hurriedly ran into the bedroom.

"What's going on here?"

Su Rui saw Su Wan sitting on the side clutching her wrist, staring at Su Chennan angrily.

Because it was Su Chennan's fault this time, Su Ying didn't hug him. Su Chennan's small face wrinkled together in grievance, so she had to sit obediently next to Su Ying.

"Sister, look at Chen Nan biting me." Su Wan stretched out her wrist in front of Su Rui's eyes, and saw that the white wrist was already red and swollen, which shows that Su Chen Nan used a lot of strength.

Su Rui blew lightly on Su Wan's wrist, thinking that she didn't bite it, so she should be fine, right?This dynasty may not have a tetanus shot.

"There's no broken skin, it's just swollen. I'll be fine in two days."

Su Wan pouted aggrievedly, "Yes, but it hurts."

"Eldest sister knows, elder sister will educate Su Chennan."

Su Rui pinched Su Chennan's chin to make him open his mouth, "Didn't the eldest sister say that? She will make you a teething stick, why are you still biting your little sister?"

"Chen Nan itches, it's uncomfortable." Su Chen Nan's chin was pinched by Su Rui, his speech was a little slurred, and his hands were drooling.

Su Rui took out her handkerchief, wiped Su Chennan's mouth clean, and then wiped off the drool on her hands.

"No matter what the reason is, biting is wrong. Hurry up and apologize to your little sister."

Su Chennan also knew that she was wrong, she blinked her big eyes and obediently said to Su Wan, "Sister, Chen Nan is wrong."

Because Su Wan's wrist was still hurting, she didn't want to talk to Su Chennan, so she just gave him the back of her head and lay down on the bed to sleep.

Su Chennan looked at Su Wan and then at Su Rui, with an innocent look on his face.

Su Rui pinched his face, "Okay, your little sister forgives you."

"Oh."

At this moment, Su Ying stepped forward to take off Su Chennan's coat, and put her arms around him into bed.

"Sister, won't you sleep?"

Su Rui shook her head and walked out, "I won't sleep anymore, I want to think about how to make Su Chennan a teething stick, so that he won't bite again tomorrow."

In modern times, Su Rui heard a colleague who had a baby chat, saying that when her child was teething, they always wanted to bite on everything, so she bought food-grade silicone toys for them, but this is ancient times, don’t worry. It is food-grade, even ordinary ones are not available.

As for the molar stick, Su Rui really never bought one, and she doesn't have children, so where would she need to buy a molar stick?

"Oh... what should I do?"

Su Rui sat at the door of the main room, looked down and saw a lot of small stones, and suddenly thought of a way.

When she was modern, she often went to a private cake studio and bought stone biscuits many times. She could eat a small piece of it for a long time. Because she frequented it, she got acquainted with the proprietress and told her that the stone biscuits were very good. To make it, you only need flour, milk powder, eggs, oil, and sugar. You don’t need to add a little water, knead it into a ball, cut it into your favorite shape and bake it.

Su Rui walked into the stove and found that Su Qiao had already wrapped the apple pie and red bean pie, and was about to go to the barbecue pit.

"Sister, why are you here? I haven't started baking yet."

"Chen Nan has long teeth, and bit Wan'er so itchy, I thought about making some molar sticks for him."

Su Qiao stopped in her tracks, "A molar stick?"

"Ah."

"Sister, will you do it later? I'll go and light the oven first."

Su Rui: "...OK."

Su Rui is really convinced by Su Qiao, as long as it is about making food that she doesn't know, she has to see how to make it with her own eyes, or try it herself.

Su Qiao made a fire, washed her hands, "Sister, how do you make that teething stick? Tell me to do it!"

Su Rui: "... First use a stone mortar to crush the white sugar into powder for Chen Nan to grind his teeth. Just use a little less sugar and just have a little taste."

"Let me do it."

Just as Meng Mingzhou entered the kitchen, he saw Su Qiao wanting to get a mortar.

Su Rui nodded, "Okay, it just so happens that this one is very heavy, so it's not suitable for girls."

Meng Mingzhou took the mortar, and Su Rui poured the sugar into a large bowl.

Su Qiao, "Sister, didn't you say it was for Chen Nan to grind his teeth? Why put so much sugar?"

"I put more, so that it can be ground into powder. And if you grind more at a time, you don't need to grind it next time."

Su Qiao nodded, "Oh, so that's the case."

After the powdered sugar was ground, Su Rui dug out a spoon and handed it to Su Qiao, "Just put this sugar."

"Okay, then what?"

Su Rui thought of the modern times when the proprietress said to put butter, but there was no butter here, so she had to use lard instead, ah, I really want a cow.

"Well, put an egg, and three spoonfuls of lard, and add an appropriate amount of flour to make a harder dough."

Su Qiao had a good time, "Is that all?"

Su Rui nodded, and picked a wooden stick of similar thickness and length from the pile of firewood, and just reached the edge of the chopping board.

"Well, wait for an hour to wake up, and then roll out the dough and cut it into the thickness of this small wooden stick, just as the apple pie should be baked, and then you can bake this."

Su Qiao looked at the live dough and asked with some disappointment, "Is it that simple?"

Su Rui looked at her strangely, "Otherwise? This is just for grinding Chen Nan's teeth, and it's not for sale. How complicated is it?"

Su Qiao covered the dough with a cloth in disappointment, "I thought it was complicated."

"Okay, don't be disappointed."

"Oh…"

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Meng Mingzhou went to the village to fetch water with buckets. Today, because there were so many people eating, the four buckets of water he picked up in the morning were not enough.
