Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 42
Mu Ai stretched out her fingers and lightly pressed the dough that was made last night, and it felt good. She called Qiu Equinox and the others to come over, and while explaining to her, she began to knead the dough into the dough.

After the dough was kneaded, it was placed on the side of the stove. Shuan Shuan and Aunt Guo also arrived. Mu Ai directed a few people to wash the womb cabbage, chop the meat stuffing, and took the ginger and green onion and cut them into fine pieces. Add soybean oil, soy sauce, salt, and a bowl of pork bone soup cooked last night. After stirring well, I started to teach a few people how to make buns. Autumn Equinox and Aunt Guo are often in the kitchen, so I learned quickly and tried to make buns. After a few days, it already looks like it.The vernal equinox and summer solstice are a little bit different, but it’s not bad. Only Shuan Shuan was too young and impatient, so she made two wraps. Afraid that my sister would blame me, I sneaked a few glances.How could Mu Ai not know her temper, ignored her, and ordered Xia Zhi to clean the steamer, put two scoops of water in the cauldron and start the fire.

Seeing that his sister ignored him, Shuan Shuan knew that she would never allow him to play tricks, so he could only hold his mouth and wait patiently to see how everyone wrapped them up, and gradually began to wrap them up in style.After a stick of incense, Mu Ai saw that the number of steamed buns was about the same, so she ordered a few people to place the steamed buns sparsely on the steamer covered with thick gauze, covered the lid, and started steaming on high heat. Waiting while waiting for the first drawer of buns from Baihua Kingdom to come out of the pan.

A few people chatted and laughed, and slowly there was a scent coming out of the steamer. Shuan Shuan couldn't help stretching his neck to look at the cauldron from time to time. Glue a white bridge of nose for her.Chun Equinox made everyone laugh. Aunt Guo has a cheerful personality, so she said with a smile, "Madam and Miss have such a good relationship."

After laughing, Mu Ai wiped Shuan Shuan with a handkerchief, "Our Shuan Shuan is a capable girl, I will bring the buns back to grandma for a taste, and grandma will praise you for your filial piety."

"Really?" Shuan Shuan looked at his sister with big eyes shining with anticipation.Children's hearts are sensitive. Although the old lady is not as focused on the family that is going back as before, she has begun to remember to care about her granddaughter, but no matter who she meets, she can't say three words. They will still kidnap their sons and grandchildren.The little girl still obviously felt left out, now that she heard that she could get her grandma's praise, how could she not be excited.

"Of course it's true. I'll take back the most beautiful ones wrapped by Shuan Shuan." Then he pointed to the crooked ones on the chopping board, sighed, and continued, "These ugly ones have to be kept. Eat it for me, who made me a sister."

"Sister!" Shuan Shuan blushed from being teased, and grabbed her sleeve coquettishly.

Mu Ai snatched back her sleeve, looked at the obvious flour marks on it, put on an angry look on her face, and smiled in her eyes. "You bad girl, I don't know that my sister can't be a female celebrity, and she ruined my clothes. If you learn to be a female celebrity tomorrow, you will pay me for it."

"I won't pay, my sister bullied me again." Shuan Shuan got angry at what she said, and put flour on her clothes more and more. The two sisters take care of their dresses.

Mu Ai washed her hands, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, looked at Shuan Shuan who was squatting by the stove, and said with a smile, "It's almost time, let's open the pot in autumn, be careful that the heat will burn your hands."

The autumn equinox responded, quickly opened the pot and lowered it into the drawer, picked up two fat buns with chopsticks, put them on two porcelain plates with green lotuses painted on them, first handed them to Muai and Shuan Shuan, and then everyone Divided one.The taste of Mu Ai was mediocre, after all the seasonings were not complete, but the other people didn't think so, they praised it again and again, Xia Zhi and Shuan Shuan even started to eat the second steamed stuffed bun.

Mu Ai thought about it, this is fine for the time being, let's improve it slowly in the future, after all, those seasonings in the space can't be taken out for the time being.Although these people were all bought back by signing a death contract, to be on the safe side, they still need to observe for a longer period of time.

"You can eat as many as you want, and steam the rest of the trays. When Shuan Shuan goes back, give grandma a portion. Xia Zhi remember to send ten to Mr. Wang's house, and ask for more If you are worried about his precious herbs, let him deliver them all. Aunt Guo, after you learn how to make buns every seven days in the big kitchen, let’s improve everyone’s food. Okay, let’s make buns. , I went back to my room to write." Mu Ai put down her chopsticks and arranged these trivial matters.

"Yes, ma'am." Several people answered quickly.

Walking to the door, Mu Ai turned back and said, "There's no need to prepare mine for lunch, I want to rest for a while. At noon, the cook sent by Uncle Xiao should be here, so there is no need to bring it to me. See you tomorrow too. If it is a woman, it will be arranged to help in the small kitchen every day, and if it is a man, it will be arranged in the big kitchen. You don’t have to hide your secrets. You can teach some stuff like steamed stuffed buns and cooking. However, this person is not our family after all. You all know the rules, just be careful."

"Yes." Qiufen and Aunt Guo replied again.

Mu Ai then turned around and went back to the room, leaving behind a few people who happily ate a few steamed buns, and continued to work while talking and laughing...

In a blink of an eye, another eight or nine days passed, and the second snow of winter fell again.Since the food and supplies have been purchased a few days ago, there is nothing to worry about.Mu Ai woke up early and finished washing. Under the persuasion of the spring equinox, she changed into a thicker thin cotton home-made dress. Waiting for the time to set meals, when she saw the thick snow in the yard, she ran to grab Xia Zhi's hand on a whim. The broom in the house swept the snow.Ever since she bought someone back at home, she didn't have to do any work by herself for a long time, but whenever something happened, someone would take care of it properly. Every time she did something, the panic on the faces of these people made her feel guilty, so she could only relax and relax.As for the people in the mansion, after the initial running-in period, everything has gradually become established, and there is really nothing for her to worry about.

Chun Equinox discussed with Steward Guo, and it turned out that everyone's residences were temporarily arranged, which was unreasonable. Therefore, after reorganizing the resettlement and reporting it to her, it was settled. Uncle Guo's family lived in the third primary school. In the west ear room, the four maidservants in spring, summer, autumn and winter live with Xiaoqing and Miaomiao in the northernmost room of the five big rooms in the west wing. The long big kang can sleep six people, and the one next to the small hall is the only one. The living room is reserved for a few girls, who are used for needlework or writing on weekdays.The small hall in the middle is locked and idle, and the two rooms in the south are used as warehouses.Because Ouyang wanted to protect the safety of the yard, he lived in the east ear room, which was convenient for him to take care of the two yards together.Wenbo people are old and sleep lightly, so they live in two small side houses on the right side of the gate. There is a barn and some tools in the corner of the yard, and they can take care of it at night.The remaining six, Ada, and Qingfengmingyue, two and a half children, still live in the two big rooms next to the big kitchen in the inverted house, which is closer to the ground heating at night, and the remaining four rooms are locked for use.
