Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 198 Lvrui Golden Chrysanthemum
Mrs. Chu quickly clapped her hands and agreed, "That's really good. I have raised my daughter for more than ten years, but I have never eaten food made by my daughter."

Chu Yi'er was so happy to see her mother, although she still had some resistance in her heart, she still nodded.

Mu Ai loudly called the vernal equinox outside the door and several people came in, found two pairs of one-breasted aprons in the luggage and came out, the two dressed respectively, leaving Madam Chu to drink tea slowly, and went to the kitchen affectionately and hand in hand.

Mu Ai saw that the pork was still fresh, so she asked the autumn equinox to chop it into minced meat, then rolled up her sleeves with Chu Yier, washed her hands carefully, and put a spoonful of fine noodles into the clay pot, slowly Explain to her slowly, while adding warm water and stirring well, after getting together, let her slowly try to knead into a ball.At the beginning, Chu Yi'er had a bitter face and was at a loss, but after rubbing it a few times, she seemed to have found the fun of secretly playing mud with her younger brother when she was a child.

Mu Ai put her there to knead the dough, turned around and boiled four eggs in a small pot lit by the spring equinox. The celery leaves come out, also chopped and placed in a small dish for later use.

As early as the autumn equinox, the minced meat was chopped and put into a large earthenware bowl. Mu Ai put some salt, sugar, cooked vegetable oil and a little minced green onion, minced ginger, and soy sauce into it according to his estimation, and stirred well.Called Chu Yier again, took the extremely smooth dough kneaded by her hands, praised her with a smile, ordered Chun Equinox to put it on the panel, rolled it into extremely thin dough, and then cut it into equal-sized dough with a knife. Four squares.

I picked one and spread it in my hand, took a spoonful of meat stuffing, and worked with both hands to shape it into a square shape.Then use the left thumb and index finger to form a circle, and gently press the meat filling with the right thumb to keep it beautiful and flat, then sprinkle some egg yolk powder, put celery powder in the middle, and gently put it on the oiled small In the cage, a chrysanthemum shumai with green stamens and golden petals is ready.

Chu Yi'er opened her mouth slightly in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe it, how could such an ordinary dough and meat filling turn into such a beautiful chrysanthemum in an instant?It's amazing.

The three girls, Spring Equinox, Autumn Equinox, and Xiaoan, also forgot the restraint and embarrassment just now, and smiled and said they wanted to learn, and Chu Yier kept nodding along.Of course Mu Ai agreed, so she began to teach the three-person Bao Shaomai.

This kind of siu mai can also be called lazy people's siu mai. You don't need to pinch the dense wrinkles, just pinch gently to ensure that the meat filling on the top is smooth and the egg yolk and celery powder are not mixed ugly.

So, half an hour later, when Mrs. Chu saw her daughter with a joyful face, serving steaming steaming steamed buns as beautiful as real chrysanthemums blooming, Madam Chu was so excited that she almost shed tears again.
Mu Ai accompanied the mother and daughter to taste a few, and they felt that the taste was acceptable. If broth and pepper noodles were added to the meat stuffing, it would definitely be more delicious.On the other hand, one of the mother and daughter of the Chu family was the result of their own labor, and the other was eating filially for the daughter for the first time. Both of them were eating and laughing, looking extremely happy.

After eating dim sum, Yi'er leaned against her mother and told the whole process of making siu mai in a tender voice. She also said that she would cook for her father and younger siblings the next day. Her little face was full of excitement and urgency. , how could there be the slightest resentment and distaste for dirt.

Mrs. Chu listened with a smile, and at the same time looked at Mu Ai who was bowing her head to write the prescription with great gratitude, and there was no doubt in her eyes anymore.She deals with the wives of various officials every day and plays tricks. Except for Mrs. Wei Er, who has known each other for many years and has a congenial temperament, which can be regarded as a sincere friendship, she is mostly perfunctory and cautious about the rest of the past.

At first, she was a little apprehensive when she came to Mu Ai because of dim sum. Although Mrs. Wei Er mentioned that this woman is not an ordinary woman, she was still cautious.I'm afraid that in the future, she will ask for favors and ask for something that will embarrass her family.

But after several conversations, she found that this woman is a kind-hearted and gentle person, especially today, her words of persuasion to her daughter are sincere, and she also took her daughter to make beautiful and interesting snacks, and treated her daughter Just like treating your own juniors, be patient and kind.

Mothers all over the world love their children without reservation, and feel that there is no better child than their own children in the world.Therefore, whenever others treat her child well, she will reciprocate with great gratitude.

Seeing Mu Ai like this with her own eyes today, apart from being full of gratitude in her heart, how could she have any doubts.

While Mu Ai was writing carefully, she felt a little complicated in her heart.Originally, she had listened to Mrs. Wei's words and made friends with Mrs. Chu for the sake of convenience in the future.However, after getting along several times, this good mother who has no arrogance of an official wife and plans everything for her daughter's future has really moved her. When she thinks of her mother who can hardly remember her appearance, but heaven The underground difference made me feel a little envious and sad.And Miss Chu was only two years older than Shuan Shuan, and she was about to marry as a wife. She was afraid that it would be difficult to have such an innocent and charming appearance, and she felt a little distressed.

As a result, the mother and daughter gradually began to treat each other sincerely, and because of the little conspiracy in their hearts, they became more and more nice to them.

After writing the recipe and drying the ink gently, Muai handed it to the mother and daughter of the Chu family, and said with a smile, "Yi'er, this recipe is just a reference. In fact, the fun part of making food is that what you add or what If you add less, or change the ingredients, the taste will be different. Today, water is added to the minced meat, but if it is replaced with broth or bone broth, do you think it will taste more delicious?"

Chu Yi'er's eyes lit up, she quickly sat up straight, and asked, "Aunt Xian, if you put the egg powder in the middle and celery leaves around, wouldn't it turn into a golden chrysanthemum?"

"Smart, you have to think like this. However, you have to think more broadly. Why do you have to put eggs and celery leaves? These two are also put on for the sake of making the dim sum more beautiful. It's better if we replace it with other things." Wouldn’t it be nice to eat something that can make the dim sum more beautiful?” Mu Ai smiled and continued to be persuasive.

Chu Yier frowned her delicate Liu Ye eyebrows, and began to think, "What should I change to make it look beautiful and delicious?"

Mu Ai smiled and said, "Okay, Yi'er must be tired from making dim sum today, I will leave this question as homework for you, and I will go back to the village in a few days. So, next time you come back, you must have a good time with the autumn equinox." Let's learn dim sum together, don't think it's dirty anymore. And next time I see you, I'll listen to your answer."

"Well, thank you Aunt Xian for teaching, Yi'er will remember it." Chu Yi'er responded with a serious salute.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Chu said she wanted to leave, and she took Mu Ai's hand, thanking her again and again.Then I suddenly asked, the reason why Mu Ai came to the city. I heard that it was for the opening of the medical clinic, so I asked whether the honey that I mentioned to the wives during the celebration banquet of the Xiao Mansion was still counted?
Mu Ai said with a smile, "My sister's words don't count. This time I really brought all the stock at home, but it's only six or seven cans. My medical clinic will open soon, and I still have some chores to do. Some of them can't go away, so I plan to invite Mrs. Yi to hold a honey tasting party. I invite all the ladies to gather on that day and bid according to their abilities. The money they get will be directly bought into medicinal materials and given to the poor people. Merit, isn’t it the best of both worlds.”

Mrs. Chu nodded repeatedly, and praised, "Only someone as smart as my sister can come up with such a good idea. Remember to tell your sister-in-law Yi to send me a post, and I will join in the fun."

"Okay, no one can forget sister." Mu Ai agreed with a smile, sent their mother and daughter out of the second door, boarded the carriage and drove all the way.

Mu Ai took a few girls into the small kitchen, wrapped the remaining meat and dough and steamed it, then picked up a plate with her own hands, carefully arranged the pattern, hesitated a little, handed it to Chun Equinox and said, "This Send the plate to Master Ouyang to taste. Put the rest in a box, and let's go to Xiao's mansion in half an hour." After speaking, he hurried back to the room.

Chunfen looked at the pleasing dessert plate in his hand, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Qiufen also gave a dry cough and barely stopped his smile. If she read correctly, Madam's ears seemed to be a little red just now.Xiaoan blinked and blinked, and finally figured it out belatedly. Today, the two sisters are weird, so they couldn't help but say, "Master Ouyang..."

Chun Equinox interrupted her, "Xiao An, don't forget the first and second rules of the family rules set by Madam."

Xiao An quickly stopped talking, and said with a smile, "Yes, Sister Chun Equinox, I understand."

Only then did Chun Equinod nod, took another pair of bowls and chopsticks and put them on the tray, and said, "You guys pack the boxes, I'll deliver the snacks first."

Mu Ai rested for half an hour, on a whim, and didn't want to take the car, so she changed into a man's clothes, ordered the autumn equinox to return to food, and went to Xiao's mansion with Ouyang.Liniang was leading the maids to lay out a table of fabrics, trying to compare and choose some suitable spring shirts, when the maids came to report that Mu Ai had arrived, she received it by the second door with a happy face, He laughed and said, "I'm about to make spring shirts. I thought I'd buy two sets for my sister, but I'm in a dilemma and don't know what color to choose. It just so happens that you're here, so you don't have to worry about picking."

Mu Ai saluted like a man, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you're welcome, sister. If you really want to pick two good horses, sister-in-law can't feel bad."

"It's not just two horses, the girl looks so handsome in men's robes, so let's add two more robes." Although it's not the first time for Liniang to see Mu Ai dressed as a man, but every time she looks at it, she still thinks Novelty and amazing.

Mu Ai stepped forward to help her and said with a smile, "Okay, from now on, my sister will come to visit my sister-in-law every season, and our family will save a lot of money."
