Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Mao Xi pinched Xiaodouzi's ears and carried him into the path: "How can you hit someone with a slingshot? And you little fat guy, what do you usually teach me?"

Xiaodouzi quickly begged for mercy: "Hahaha, sister, I am 'removing harm for the people'! Don't pinch my ears!"

The little fat man puffed out his chest and defended: "We are here to fight against injustice. Who told that little brother to always use a stick to drive his brothers and sisters to set up stalls?"

Mao Xi snatched the slingshot from the two men's hands and stretched out his palm to ask for the tool: "Why don't you hand over the pellets?"

The two children could only hand over the stones in their pockets.

Mao Xi took the stone, patted the two of them on the head, and said: "You are a 'removing harm for the people', and you are a 'fighting against injustice'. You don't know, if this stone hits someone's head or temple, it will cause harm." Human life? Do you know that you are not allowed to hit people with stones in the future?"

Xiaodouzi lowered his head and said nothing, and Xiaopang chuckled and said, "I listen to Sister Miao Xi. From now on, we will spank him exclusively, haha."

Grabbing the slingshot from Mao Xi's hand, the two kids ran away laughing.

Mao Xi came to Qi Rui's painting studio and saw Qi Rui painting lotus cakes. The other three paintings had been completed, namely roasted sweet potato and pickled cabbage cakes, egg yolk cakes, and mung bean and pumpkin plain cakes.

Lou Lan'er was sitting aside, eating egg yolk cakes and vegetarian cakes. When she saw Shu Xi coming, she pulled her to the painting table and praised her three paintings repeatedly: "Ah Shu, look at it, Master Qi painted it." This egg yolk cake is so delicious that even the liquid juice of the egg yolk inside is revealed."

Mao Xi saw that although the egg yolk cake was painted on rice paper, she didn't know what kind of paint Qi Rui used or the reason why the rice paper was smudged. Looking at the egg yolk juice from different angles, it reflected the radiant luster. To the point where the fake is mistaken for the real thing.

After thinking about it, it was impossible for him to use gold foil to paint. Shui Xi guessed that some kind of mineral pigment should be used, so she and Lou Laner sat quietly aside without disturbing Qi Rui's painting.

The last stroke was completed, Qi Rui stamped it, and finally finished the lotus cake. Lou Laner stepped forward, took the lotus cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

Mao Xi paid the final payment to Qi Rui and asked him to help draw some drawings for customized cakes someday: "Master Qi, thank you for your hard work. These drawings are really good. I will ask you to draw some for me next time." I would like to ask you to come to Liuxiang Snacks to paint a painting for a customized cake? It is not convenient to transport the cake."

Qi Rui looked confused: "It's just that all my painting tools are here."

Seeing Qi Rui's hesitation, Mao Xi thought about it, and finally decided to make the cake directly in Qi Rui's studio. After the painting, everyone shared it: "Then next time I come to your place to make the butter cake, and wait until you finish the painting. Can I take it away again?"

Qi Rui agreed and allowed Shu Xi to come over at any time.

Lou Lan'er and Shu Xi held the painting together and chatted while walking. Shu Xi saw that Lou Lan'er was in Qi Rui's studio today, and she was different from her usual frolics, and she actually talked a lot less.

On the way back to the store, Shui Xi complained that Lou Lan'er didn't know how to cherish the opportunity: "Sister Lan'er, why are you eating fruits and not chatting with Mr. Qi in his studio? It's rare that I created an opportunity for you two to be alone together. "

Lou Lan'er recalled that day when Qi Rui left Liuxiang Snacks, and later met him again at the market, and made an appointment with her to go to the theater. Lou Lan'er was happy for many days.

Qi Rui is a suave and taciturn young master. Lou Lan'er was also influenced by him and no longer speaks as fast as before: "I can't disturb Mr. Qi when he is painting!"

"Hey! Sister Lan'er, since when did you start talking so politely?"

"You old man, are you looking for a fight?" After pretending for only a second, Lou Lan'er showed her true colors again and chased Maoxi all over the street.

Back at Liuxiang Snacks, Lou Laner helped hang the paintings in the outer hall and coffee room.

Hanging in the outer hall are two pictures: roasted sweet potato and pickled cabbage cakes and egg yolk cakes.

I recall that when I was still running a street stall in Guanyunqiao, I still relied on roasted sweet potatoes and pickled cabbage pancakes.

Mao Xi looked at the painting, her eyes full of memories, and unknowingly, there were some tears in the corners of her eyes.

In the evening, Mao Xi returned to Guanyun Bridge and met his old neighbor Ying Geer. He was still squatting in the same place selling crisp pears.

Mao Xi stepped forward to buy pears: "Brother Ying, give me five crisp pears."

Seeing that there was business, Brother Ying took the pears and wrapped them up: "Okay!" When he saw it was Shu Xi, he rushed up and hugged her, "Sister Ah Shu, why are you here?"

Mao Xi was caught off guard when she was suddenly hugged by Brother Ying. She asked Brother Ying: "It's getting dark, why don't you go home?"

Brother Ying rubbed his little hands, took a breath with them to keep them warm, and said, "There are still some pears left. I want to sell them all before going home."

Mao Xi rubbed his little hands and asked, concerned: "It's so cold, don't set up a stall! Is Grandpa Jiang okay? I'll buy green plums from you in two months!"

"Grandpa always talks about you to me. He says the plums you make are the most delicious."

"Brother Ying, are you going to sell pears on the street near Wazihe's house in the afternoon?"

Brother Ying nodded. He was used to setting up a stall in the morning and evening, and in the afternoon he walked around the streets selling pears and seasonal fruits.

While the two were chatting, the boy from the Street Department in the Guanyun Bridge area also came. When he saw two people wearing ragged raincoats on the bridge, he beat the beggar on the legs with a stick and drove him to the corner.

The beggar could only squat by the tree under the bridge, holding a broken bowl in his hand, smiling and showing his rotten teeth.

Only then did Mao Xi realize that there were many more beggars in Lihua Town than usual recently, and stall holders also gathered in the market area to beg for a living.

She asked "Bao Inquiry" Brother Ying why the street secretary came out to clear the road so frequently recently: "Brother Ying, there are a lot of foreigners on the street recently. Will the street secretary drive you away? I always see them clearing the road."

"I paid the stall fee, but they didn't chase me away. The harvest in the north last year was not good, so many refugees and beggars flocked to Lingnan. Many foreigners also came to the town. The street department was worried about congestion, so they had to go out frequently to clear the roads."

Mao Xi helped Brother Ying close the stall, took him back to Liuxiang Snacks, and made a bowl of noodle soup for him to eat.

Looking at his thin clothes and red face, Mrs. Chen felt very distressed: "Brother Ying, it's late spring and the weather is still very cold. Don't set up a stall at night from now on and go home early."

Xiaodouzi took off his coat and put it on Brother Ying, saying, "Brother Ying, put on your coat first."

Mrs. Chen called Mao Xi aside, and after the two discussed, they bought all the pears that Brother Ying had every day, made autumn pear paste, and asked Brother Ying to come to the shop to help cook together.

Mao Xi had this intention, so she called Brother Ying to her side and asked him for his opinion. Brother Ying nodded hurriedly and said, "Sister Ah Ma, I'm not good at cooking, do you really want me? "

"You can learn slowly, and your brothers and sisters will teach you. Remember to tell Grandpa Jiang at night, no matter whether the harvest of the orchard is good or bad, I will buy all the fruits you bring, and I will give you two taels of monthly money."

Brother Ying didn't know how to express his gratitude for a moment, so he knelt down in front of everyone.

This startled Mao Xi, and she quickly helped Yingge up and said, "Brother Ying, from now on you can't just kneel down to others, do you understand? You can rely on yourself to hold your head high and be a good person!"
