The sturdy little peasant girl, the rough man is the favorite of the gods

Chapter 81 Curiosity

"Sister, if a stick is stuck in the middle of this pancake and baked in the oven, wouldn't it be a charcoal pancake? It's a waste of all our effort to make it so beautiful!"

Jiang Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing at the child's childish words.

She squeezed Jiang Yue's face, and patiently explained: "What a fool, it's not baked like you said, after I brush a layer of egg liquid on it, you come with me."

While talking, Jiang Yao picked up the little brush she made for the past few days, and began to quickly brush a layer of yellow egg liquid on each mooncake.

After finishing this process, she turned around and picked up a large plate of moon cakes, winked at her sisters, and walked quickly to a corner on the side of the backyard.

Before Jiang Yao could introduce them to them, Jiang Yue tugged at her sleeves in surprise, her eyes were shining, she looked at the things that looked like big bear heads in front of her.

"Eldest sister, what is this thing? In the past few days, you didn't let us come here, and you specially surrounded this area just to make these things?"

"That's right." The mooncake in her hand was a bit heavy, Jiang Yao stepped forward and put the mooncake on the small table around it.

From the corner of the eye, Jiang Yue was very curious, and she raised her hand to touch the top of the bread kiln, but Jiang Yao hurriedly stopped her.

"It's very hot, don't touch it!"

Because she was too eager, she reached out and knocked Jiang Yue's hand down, and looked at the younger sisters very severely.

"The place was specially surrounded before to prevent you from touching these bread kilns. It's not because you are afraid that you will damage these things. After all, these sisters can make them again."

"But if you don't pay attention to the injury, the slight injury is fine, but the serious injury, what should sister do?"

Listening to Jiang Yao's reprimand, Jiang Yue bowed her head in embarrassment, her apologetic voice mixed with tears.

"I'm sorry, elder sister. I shouldn't have moved around just now. As long as you don't let me, I won't mess around again."

Seeing that the little guy's eyes were filled with tears, and he would roll to the ground with just a blink, Jiang Yao still couldn't bear it, rubbed her head, and softened her voice.

"It's normal to have curiosity, but it also depends on the situation. Take a good look at the things in front of you, do you recognize them?"

The three younger sisters shook their heads in unison.

"Also, you can feel the temperature around the bread kiln, is it hotter than where you were originally standing?"

While talking, Jiang Yao turned around and removed the baffle of the bread kiln mouth, exposing the red-hot flames inside.

"Look, the fire is so big that if you touch it with your hands, you will definitely be burned. That's why I was so fierce to you just now."

"Let's talk about it, no matter where you are in the future, when you encounter novel things, don't try it rashly for the time being. You must check it carefully before reacting, understand?"

The three younger sisters all knew that the elder sister was doing it for their own good, so they all nodded obediently.

Jiang Yue, who was about to touch the bread kiln before, still had a little fear on her face, and hoped that she would remember this truth in the future.

After educating the younger sisters, Jiang Yao returned to making moon cakes.

She picked up the shovel on the side and shoveled out the excess charcoal fire in the bread kiln. After feeling the temperature in the bread kiln, she decided that it was suitable for baking mooncakes, so she put the freshly made mooncakes inside.

The younger sisters who thought they were going to wear wooden sticks to bake before now suddenly realized that they had more admiration for Jiang Yao in their hearts.

There are four bread kilns in front of me. After recalling the fillings and crusts prepared today, Jiang Yao started to add fire to the two bread kilns on the right.

When she took her sisters and brought over the remaining mooncakes, the fires in the two bakery kilns were almost the same, so she baked all the remaining mooncakes in.

Out of curiosity, the younger sisters did not leave here, Jiang Yao thought that there was nothing else to do, so she waited with the younger sisters for the mooncakes to be baked.

As time went by, the smell of mooncakes from the bread kiln became stronger and stronger, Gou's sisters couldn't help swallowing, and even Jiang Yao felt a little itchy in her heart.

Counting it, she hasn't eaten mooncakes for more than half a year.

Because of the frequent cooking of food, Jiang Yao is very accurate in predicting the time.She calculated in her heart that the mooncakes would take about a quarter of an hour to bake.

Considering that idleness is idleness, she simply used moon cakes as an example to continue teaching her younger sisters to count.

After the sisters did about [-] additions and subtractions within ten, and learned some multiplication formulas, the mooncakes were finally baked.

When Jiang Yao removed the baffle of the kiln mouth, the previously hazy fragrance suddenly became more intense.

Chandelloo came from the front to the back, looking at the things they baked in amazement.

"Yao'er, what is this golden round cake?"

"Mother, these are called moon cakes, which are very suitable for Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Moon cake... is a good name. It is round, and it is indeed very similar to the full moon on the fifteenth day."

Knowing that everyone is very interested in the taste of mooncakes, Jiang Yao picked up the second mooncake on the plate alone, dangling it to speed up cooling.

Feeling that the temperature of the mooncakes was not so hot, she took out the pocket knife she made secretly to the blacksmith's shop to cut the mooncakes.

Seeing the thin cake crust wrapped full of fillings, the younger sisters were so greedy that they looked at Jiang Yao eagerly.

Jiang Yao didn't let them down, she first gave a piece to Lu Shi, then gave a piece to each of her younger sisters, and then picked up another piece and sent it to grandma.

When she returned to the courtyard, she hadn't had time to say anything.The three younger sisters started chattering around her.

"Sister, this is too delicious! Can I have another one?"

"Sister, I also want to..."

"Me too! Eldest sister, you are the best, can you share another piece with me?"

Seeing how lively they were, what they ate just now was only a small piece. Jiang Yao was not stingy, and took one for each of them, and then another for Lu Shi and grandma.

Originally, she was going to try it herself, but when she thought of something, she retracted it halfway, and turned to talk to Lu Shi.

"Mom, what do you think of this mooncake? But is there any room for improvement?"

Lu Shi chewed carefully, trying not to let go of any feeling as much as possible. After a few breaths, she slowly opened her mouth.

"The taste is naturally excellent. If you want to talk about improvement... Maybe the taste I ate is too sweet, and I am a little uncomfortable."

"It's okay, I will make some less sweet flavors then." Jiang Yao pointed to the other two bread kilns, indicating that the flavors there were different, and then asked again.

"Mom, if you think it's okay, let's cut some out this afternoon and give it to the customers who come to the store to try it?"
