Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 101 Biscuit Recipe
While cutting the vegetables in his hand, Lin Qiutang estimated that this was the first time he made this kind of thing today. He had never done it before, and his technique was unskilled, but after this day's practice, he should be more proficient tomorrow, and the finished product would come out. get more
"It's just that there are too few ovens. There is only one. If there is another oven, it may be faster."

Today I spent a long time studying how to make things, and I have to do it well. The next day I finally figured it out, and the oven seemed not enough. The three of us were busy working out something that could fit an oven, and we had to wait. Only when one furnace comes out can the next furnace be installed, which is a bit of a delay.

"It can't be helped. It happened too suddenly. However, I have been busy for three or four days. If there is another oven, it will be idle on weekdays. It is really useless."

Seeing that her mother had kindly finished the dishes, Lan Lingxue started to cook,

"You're right. Let's do our best. Why don't you tell your father that we'll come back later tomorrow?"

"That's no need, don't scare my dad anymore. He was a little worried when he didn't tell him what we were doing. If we come back later, the matter will definitely be leaked. Mother, we just do our best and do what we can. Do as much as you want."

Nothing can be forced, as long as you do your best and have a clear conscience.

Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the sun is very good, it hangs warm in the sky, which makes this winter a lot warmer, and the white snow shines brightly against the strong sunlight, making people squint when walking on the road Eyes, Lan Erzhuang was a little anxious, walked to the intersection at the head of the village, looked towards the way home, today is the birthday of Zhiyuan and Xiao Lanzi, everyone wants to have a good get together, after all, we are leaving tomorrow, I didn't know that the three of them helped pick vegetables in the morning, loaded them into the vegetable cart of Fulu Restaurant, and ate breakfast, but they still left the house after breakfast. Now the sun is going down the mountain. There's no sign of it,

"Second brother, don't worry, girl and Zhiyuan are not unreasonable children, besides, there is second sister-in-law following, I promise nothing will happen."

Lin Zihao persuaded Lan Erzhuang, although he was worried in his heart,
"I know nothing will happen, but you and Zhiyuan are leaving for the border tomorrow. Your second sister-in-law is not a clueless person. How could she not know that we want to get together more, and don't know what the three of them are going to do? What are you busy with, and you don't say anything, so let us worry."

The two of them were chatting one sentence at a time, when they saw a carriage approaching in a hurry on the road ahead, both of them stopped talking, covered the reflection with their hands, and looked hard.

"Uncle Lan, Master, why did you come out? We'll be back right away."

As the car approached, the two saw An Zhiyuan sitting on the shaft, and the driver was a boy from a restaurant who often came to pull food. Seeing two people waiting at the intersection, the carriage slowed down, An Zhiyuan jumped out of the carriage,
"Get in the car and sit down, let's go back quickly."

An Zhiyuan took Xia Lan Erzhuang's arm and motioned him to get in the car.

"Where are your aunt and girl? In the car?"

Lan Erzhuang pointed to the carriage,
"Well, they're all in the car. You guys should come up too. You should be able to sit in the crowd."

Still wanting to squeeze, Lan Erzhuang went to the carriage, opened the curtain, and saw the girls squeezed in front of the curtain, with square bamboo baskets stuffed behind them,

"What nonsense, how dangerous it is."

Seeing that the bamboo baskets had been placed on the carport, which seemed to be crumbling, Lan Erzhuang immediately raised his heart.
"It's not a special situation, it's just this one time, not the next time."

I also know that my father is worried about myself and my mother, but it is indeed a special situation, and I am also worried about it along the way. Fortunately, the driver in the restaurant is good at driving, which reduces my worries by half.

"Father, come up quickly, the family is still waiting for us, don't delay."

Lan Lingxue stretched out her hand, wanting to drag her father into the carriage, Lan Erzhuang had already gotten up neatly by herself,
"You still know the delay, so why don't you know to come back sooner?"

Lan Erzhuang nodded his daughter's forehead in dissatisfaction, Lan Lingxue stuck out her tongue, and didn't dare to provoke her father, while Lin Zihao and An Zhiyuan sat on the left and right shafts of the carriage, and the carriage drove slowly again,
"What's going on? Why is the carriage from the restaurant coming again? Didn't it come this morning?"

Lan Erzhuang wondered why the carriage from the restaurant came again at night, wondering what would happen,
"What's in this basket? Snacks?"

Before the mother and wife could answer, he asked another question, because he got into the carriage and was close to the bamboo basket, if there was a sweet smell that seemed to be absent, he got into his nose little by little.

"I begged the carriage from the restaurant to come here, because I wanted to pack something back, hey, that's what you saw, but, daddy's nose is pretty good, daddy guess, what's in it dessert?"

Lan Lingxue took her father's arm and acted like a baby, which made Lan Erzhuang's anger dissipated a lot, and her face couldn't hold back anymore.

"How do I know what snacks are in it? Dim sum? Really dim sum? So much?"

Although he thought it was snacks, Lan Erzhuang really said that casually. He never thought that these girls would really bring back a cart of pastries.
"Why did you bring so many snacks back? It's okay to eat fresh ones, but how can you eat this one? Besides, you can't keep it."

The soft and fragrant pastry is the most difficult to keep, it will become moldy and hairy after two days, even if it is winter, it will not last for a few more days,

"In these baskets, there are not ordinary snacks, but biscuits, which can be stored for a long time. In this season, it is not a problem to store them for three to five months, as long as they are not damp."

Lan Lingxue thought in her heart, if there was no vacuum packaging here, the biscuits she made could be stored for a year or two.

"It's nonsense, how can the dim sum last for so long, don't bother you two for a long time, and when it gets to the border, it will be moldy. It's not because I feel sorry for the money, but because of the hard work of you two."

At this time, Lan Erzhuang already knew what the three mothers were busy with. They were worthy of being their own daughter-in-law and daughter. With this heart alone, they were already beyond the reach of others. Although they didn't say anything, but My heart is full of pride.

The carriage drove all the way to his house, and Zhang Fengshou led his brothers to wait in front of the door.
"Sir!"

First, he hugged An Zhiyuan and said hello, then turned to Lin Qiutang who was helped out of the carriage by Lan Erzhuang,
"Second sister-in-law!"

"Hey, Harvest, why are you all waiting outside? It's so cold today. Come in, come in."

Lin Qiutang gestured to make way for the room,
"These are rough-skinned and thick-fleshed, so it doesn't hurt to be cold."

Zhang Fengshou was not in a hurry to go into the house,
"Fengshou, go pull a carriage and load the contents of the cart, so you don't have to move it into the house."

The carriages sent by General An were all parked behind Lin Zihao's house, and a shed was built for these horses. The fodder was ready-made, and there were still some leftovers for drying in autumn, so I could save money and buy them.

"Oh? Sister-in-law, did you go shopping for us? Sister-in-law, it's really unnecessary. We don't need anything. We take everything we need."

Zhang Fengshou hurriedly shook his hands, looking flattered. Although he brought gifts to the Lan family, he did not give any money. Living here is already a lot of trouble for them. If they are asked to spend money on buying things, it is really It's a little unreasonable, the Lan family is nothing more than an ordinary farm family, but because they can endure hardships, they live a little better than other families.
"This is not for you to eat now, but for you to take back to the border."

Lin Qiutang proudly pointed to the carriage,
"My daughter and I researched a new type of dessert, which my daughter called biscuits."

"It's not an ordinary snack. It can be stored for a long time. Didn't you say that when a war breaks out, you will rush to march or something, and you can't cook for several days, so you have to be hungry or eat cakes and steamed buns. Sometimes the biscuits and steamed buns that have been in my pocket for two days are rotten, so I have to bite the bullet and eat them. This biscuit can be packed in a carry-on bag or carried in your arms. It will not delay your horseback riding and fighting. When you are hungry , can be taken out to eat at any time, and there are two types of biscuits: sweet and salty. The salty one has vegetable leaves in it, which will be more nutritious. If you are traveling in a hurry, you should bring this slightly salty biscuit It will be better, try it, the taste is also very good, but it is a bit dry, but if it is not such a crisp snack, it will not last long."

Impatiently, Lin Qiutang asked Lan Erzhuang to bring down a bamboo basket of biscuits, took out a pack of biscuits, and opened the wrapped oil paper, a sweet scent wafted out, even though it was outdoors, it did not fade away. After smelling the scent, Zhang Fengshou felt that his nose was astringent and his eyes became blurred.
"sister in law--"

"Try it first."

Lin Qiutang didn't let him finish talking about me. There are some things that I do willingly, but I don't need to thank you. This is my heart, and it is my respect for you.

"It's delicious, everyone should try it."

He said he wanted to taste it, but Zhang Fengshou only took a small piece and refused to reach out. Lin Qiutang had no choice but to pick up a pack of biscuits and stuff them into their hands one by one, letting them taste the texture, and then opened it again. another pack,
"There is also this kind of salty one, you should try it too, there are so many, it's not bad for one or two packs, you can't go back and report this to the general, the general asked 'How does this biscuit taste?', But you can’t answer it, the general can’t say, ‘The Lan family is so stingy, they can’t bear a few biscuits’.”

"Sister-in-law, don't say that. We are only grateful, not disgusted. How can we repay this truckload of biscuits?"

Zhang Fengshou touched his chest, this friendship weighed heavily on his heart, he suddenly felt that everything was worth it, the wind, frost, snow and rain at the border, the bloody wind on the battlefield, with this thin piece of biscuit, all unwillingness gone,

"Fengshou, although we can't go to the front line, we can't help the people at the border, but we also want to do our part, do our part, here is the recipe for making biscuits, you take it, we can't do it again If it is finished, send it to the border. Even if it is done, our strength is too small to support so many people in your army. See if you can try to make it yourself. If there is something you don’t understand, you can ask Zhi Far, when we made biscuits, he accompanied us all the way, but we used an oven, you can try to use other methods instead, in that case, you won’t be afraid of starving during the war, this hungry stomach How can you win the battle?"
