delicious farm girl

Chapter 35

It really wasn't her illusion.

Su Ran's heart sank. "What are they trying to do?"

They have no money and no one, what are those people following them for?
"They have followed us since we came out of Xianwai Building." Li Er added in a low voice.

When Su Ran heard this, she smiled lightly.

The feeling is that shopkeeper Liu still refuses to believe that they are just planning to sell Lantern Festival, so he sent someone to follow them quietly, so as to see what new things they have come up with?

Then they really think highly of her.

With a slight smile, she put those people behind her, dragged Li Er into the grain and oil shop, and concentrated on picking things up.

I bought twenty catties of glutinous rice, a little sesame oil, two catties of red beans, two catties of black sesame, and then went to the grocery store to buy some other ingredients.Another big bag of things was thrown into the car, and then Su Ran climbed into the car and sat down, and Li Er pushed her and the things back to the village.

The two people who were following them followed them all the way to the gate of the city. Seeing their figures getting farther and farther away, they turned back and asked the clerk in the grain and oil shop what Su Ran and his wife bought.

The man knew that they belonged to Mr. Chen, so he didn't dare to lie, so he told the truth.The two of them went back and told shopkeeper Liu the whole story. When shopkeeper Liu heard this, he frowned: "Is it really making glutinous rice balls? These two... no, on the day of the fifteenth day, you two will continue to stare at the gate of the city! Then Just stare at them all the way to see what else they sell besides glutinous rice balls!"

Of course Su Ran and Li Er didn't know about these things.However, even if the two knew it, they wouldn't care too much.

Because she returned to the village with so many things, Su Ran became busy again.She first fried the black sesame seeds in a pan, then ground them finely with a small mill, then added water, sugar, and glutinous rice flour to the pan to make a black sesame paste.

As for red beans, they are first soaked in water and then boiled.Also use a small mill to grind it into a fine powder, then add water and sugar to fry to make red bean paste.

Thinking that the Su family still had some peanuts, Su Ran also took them out and made some peanut stuffing.

These things are very exhausting to say, but even more so to do.Even with the help of sister Qiu and brother An, Su Ran has been busy for two full days.

As soon as these things are ready, it is already the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

This morning, Su Ran got up and cooked a large pot of glutinous rice balls, then filled them with homemade black sesame paste, red bean paste and peanuts, wrapped a little of the same, and everyone shared a bowl.Regarding Su Ran's craftsmanship, everyone needless to say, they all ate it up.Even sister Qiu, who usually only dared to eat half a bowl of rice balls, ate up a bowl of glutinous rice balls, and even finished the soup.

Seeing Su Ran, she patted Sister Qiu's head. "We're going out today, and we won't be back tonight. Take good care of your eldest aunt, and we'll bring you candied haws tomorrow when we come back."

"No need, I should take care of my aunt. Candied haws cost money, cousin, don't buy them!" Sister Qiu waved her hands quickly when she heard this.This little appearance that loves money is like carved out of the same mold as Huang's.

Seeing Su Ran, she just smiled slightly.

The family finished eating the Lantern Festival in advance, and Su Ran and Li Er pushed the cart on the road again.

When they arrived in the town, Sister-in-law Qian and his wife had already prepared everything.Su Ran and Li Er just sat down and rested for a while, then they loaded all the things into the car and transported them to Huajie.

It's already afternoon now.The lanterns on Flower Street have almost been arranged, and the places specially planned to sell food and drink have already been brought over by carts.

As shopkeeper Liu said, the lot he got for Su Ran and the others was not a good one. The place was a little further in from the side of Huajie, but it would be nice to have a place that doesn't cost money.They don't dislike it.

The men were busy transporting and moving things back and forth, while Su Ran and Sister-in-law Qian were busy setting up tables and chairs, arranging dishes and chopsticks, and so on.On a very cold day, all four of them were sweating from work.

When it was just dark, everything was ready, and the lanterns on the street were lit with candles, and the number of people on the flower street gradually began to increase.

However, it was still early, and most of the people who came here now came to appreciate the lanterns.Even if you are really hungry, everyone will definitely choose a shop near the street.Su Ran and Sister-in-law Qian were not in a hurry.After the stove was built, Sister-in-law Qian's men started kneading the noodles. Sister-in-law Qian quickly poured out four bowls of noodles, and gave each of the four people a bowl: "There will be more people waiting for a while, and we will get busy. Eat some first." Pad your stomach with stuff, lest you lose your energy when you get busy for a while!"

Su Ran quickly thanked her, and sat down with Li Er to eat.But she didn't have much appetite, so she couldn't finish such a big bowl of noodles after eating half of it, so she gave it to Li Er.Li Er took it and started to eat it with big mouthfuls.

Sister-in-law Qian looked at the skillful movements of the two of them, and smiled so much that her eyes almost narrowed: "Sister Ran, if I hear you say that you two have only been married for a few months, I will think you two are an old married couple! Look at your man, he is so sensible, obedient, and considerate of you. This is really a blessing you have cultivated in eight lifetimes! Don’t you know that when my child’s father and I first got married, we had many quarrels. The child is getting older, and his temper has gradually worn down, and it has only gotten better in recent years. You two get along so well at such a young age, which is really enviable by others. In the future, you two must never You have to keep going like this, and don't make trouble over trivial things in the future!"

Su Ran blushed when she was told, she quickly lowered her head. "It's not like we don't quarrel, it's just that he doesn't like to talk, and I don't like to talk too much, so we just got along so quietly."

"Hey, if a person really wants to make you angry, he can still do it without saying a word!" Sister Qian said immediately, "So, he still loves you so much that he lets you go everywhere. This heart alone Good enough!"

Su Ran was even more ashamed when she heard this, but she didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, at this time, a regular customer of the rich sister-in-law came over.Sister-in-law Qian quickly put down her chopsticks and went to solicit business, so she temporarily let Su Ran go.

Su Ran quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but quietly looked at Li Er beside him.He was still eating noodles with his head down, as if he didn't hear the conversation between the two women.

But Mrs. Qian is a business person, so she screams with her voice all day long, and she can't suppress her voice at all.Just now she spoke in such a loud voice that many people around couldn't help but look over. He was right next to her, so it was impossible not to hear her, right?

It's just...he pretended not to hear it.Otherwise, she doesn't know how to deal with him next.

After a while, it was completely dark.

All kinds of lanterns are hung on both sides of the flower street. Candles are lit in the lanterns, and the candlelight dances, illuminating the whole street brightly.More and more people rushed to the street here, and in a blink of an eye, the flower street was full of people, and the number of customers who came to eat on the side of the road gradually increased.It's just that there are many people selling Lantern Festival on the street tonight, and Su Ran's stall is near the back, so few people came over for a while.

Sister-in-law Qian has opened a shop in the town for so many years, and knows quite a few people.When everyone saw her setting up a stall here, they naturally came over to say hello to her, and some people sat down and ordered a bowl of noodles.

While entertaining them, Mrs. Qian introduced them warmly: "This is my sister. She came out with me to set up a stall today. Don't look at her thin and thin, but the food she cooks is delicious. You just buy it." Try a bowl, keep it and don't lie to you!"

"Okay! Since Sister-in-law Qian introduced you, we have to buy a bowl to eat." Someone heard this, and immediately gave her the face to support Su Ran.

This guest ordered a bowl of Yuanxiao filled with black sesame paste.

Su Ran quickly responded, and began to pour water and knead the noodles.

"Huh, is it fresh?" The guest immediately became interested when he saw her performance.

Su Ran nodded. "Freshly made tastes better."

Moreover, it is done directly in front of the guests, and the guests will see if it is not clean, so that the guests can feel more at ease.This word surfaced in her heart, and she didn't know how it came out.

But now she has no time to bother about it.After reconciling, she immediately started to make Lantern Festival with her fingers.I saw that she kneaded a ball of dough, kneaded it with her hands until the inside and outside were even, then lightly pinched it with her thumb to make a small hole in it, then picked up a little black sesame paste with chopsticks and stuffed it into it. into the small hole, and then rub your hands lightly, and a round glutinous rice ball is ready.

The movements are smooth and smooth, as smooth as a painting, which makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Su Ran's hands and feet are fast, a bowl of Lantern Festival is twenty, and she finished it in a while.Then put it in the pot to cook, and when it is cooked, take it out, and you will see round and round dumplings floating on the water, and you can still see the black black sesame stuffing inside under the crystal clear dough.Black and white contrast, especially eye-catching good-looking.

"Hey, after so many years of eating Lantern Festival, it's the first time I've seen it cooked so beautifully. Just because of the appearance, it's worth five yuan a bowl!" The guests who ordered Lantern Festival were happy when they saw this. Hehe nodded.

The people next to him saw it and swallowed with greed. "This Lantern Festival looks really good. Little lady, bring me a bowl too! I want bean paste stuffing!"
