Lou Lan'er has become a frequent visitor to the East Stage, often selling popcorn and handing out leaflets for Liuxiang snacks.

When the common people saw that she had set up a stall and was selling snow pear candies, they gathered around her.

"Miss Lan'er, do you want to try this pear candy?" a young lady asked tentatively.

Lou Lan'er opened the bamboo tube and let the young lady try it.

"This pear candy is sweet and soothes your throat. It's really delicious. I want two bamboo tubes of pear candy."

Lou Lan'er took another flyer from the shop and gave it to the young lady, and said: "Here is an introduction to the food in our shop. In Nanquemen, there are also Liu's fruit cakes. There are many plain cakes and pastries. You are welcome to come, young lady. taste!"

The young lady took the flyer and read: "Liu's fruit cakes, four-season fruits, mung bean cakes, flower cakes, crispy abalone... There are so many varieties of fruits. I heard that your shopkeeper even made birthday butter for the magistrate. cake."

"If you like it, little lady, you can come to Lihua Town to try it in the future. Our shopkeeper will bring out new food in the shop every month."

The young lady asked Lou Lan'er to make some mulberries and asked: "Miss Lan'er, why don't you let your shopkeeper open a restaurant and fruit cake shop in our Kaitang County? There are so many people who want to eat her cooking. !”

After the young lady finished speaking, she was pulled by the other girls around her to pick peach blossoms.

Lou Laner continued to shout hard. After the pear candy and mulberries were sold out, she put away the stall and was about to leave.

A light rain fell, and she ran to the tea house to hide from the rain without bringing an umbrella.

At this time, a maid passed by holding an umbrella and carrying a flower basket, and she recognized Lou Lan'er.

"Isn't this Sister Lan'er from Liuxiang Snacks?" Maid Xiaohong called Lou Lan'er.

Lou Laner recognized Miss Zhou's maid and said hello to her: "Miss Xiaohong, how is your lady's health lately?"

Xiao Hong put away her umbrella and started chatting with Lou Lan'er: "Miss has been very nauseous recently. Thanks to your wife's food, her appetite has improved."

Seeing that Lou Lan'er didn't have an umbrella, Xiao Hong lent her her own umbrella and said, "It's raining intermittently. It doesn't matter. I'll turn a corner ahead and reach the Zhou Mansion."

When Lou Laner saw that her flower basket was full of peach blossoms, she asked, "Why are all the people in the city picking peach blossoms? Are they going to be used to make rouge?"

Xiaohong smiled lightly, grabbed a handful of peach blossoms and put it on the tip of Lou Lan'er's nose, saying, "No, Miss Lan'er, smell it, these peach blossoms are so fragrant. We use them to make wine and boil soup to make fruit."

Lou Lan'er thanked Xiao Hong and prepared to go back to town under her umbrella. After walking a few steps, the sky cleared again.

Girls and children flocked to the streets to pick peach blossoms.

Lou Laner also followed Feng Cai and bought a whole bag of peach blossoms.

As soon as she returned to the food shop, she showed the peach blossoms she picked to Shu Xi: "Ah Shu, in Kaitang County today, I see that everyone in the city is picking peach blossoms. Let's make some peach blossoms to eat."

When Mao Xi saw the pink petals with water droplets, she couldn't help but pick up the peach blossom and smell it, her eyes moved: "The beauty of the peach blossoms shines brightly!"

"Ah Shu, why are you still reading poetry?" Lou Lan'er snickered.

Mao Xi withdrew his gaze and took Xiaoqing to clean the peach blossoms together. They removed the stamens, leaving only the petals, put part of it into steamed glutinous rice to make peach blossom stuffing, and boiled part of it with sugar to make peach blossom jam, and then started kneading the dough to make "peach blossom cake".

The puff pastry is dyed peach pink with beetroot branches. Wrap the undyed puff pastry in the pink oil skin. Roll it twice into a long tongue shape, then roll it into a round shape. Wrap it with red bean paste or peach blossom sauce, roll it into an oblate shape, and roll it into a round shape. Cut a pinch, divide it into five equal parts, and carve out the shape of petals.

Dot the flower core with egg yolk liquid, sprinkle with a little white sesame seeds, and bake in the kiln for two quarters of an hour.

The cost of this fruit is cheaper than that of egg yolk cake, but it is better in appearance. A piece of peach blossom cake is sold by Shu Xi for 5 cents.

"Ah Shu, I think the bean paste stuffing is also delicious." Lou Laner praised while eating the peach blossom cake.

"Sister Lan'er, you guys are busy first, I'll go to the fruit cake shop."

Mao Xi took the finished peach blossom cakes and peach blossom jam to the Liu Family Fruit Cake Shop and taught Mrs. Chen and Aunt Shen how to make them.

Since squeezing the petals can easily cause the shape to break, Mao Xi asked the clerk Ah Su to put the baked peach blossom cakes in the display cabinet and let customers choose and buy them one by one.

The peach blossom cakes produced in the first batch are in good condition. To distinguish them, the black sesame ones are filled with red dates and the white sesame ones are filled with peach blossoms.

It happened that Chun's mother from Tianxiang shed came to the shop with a maid to buy fruits. As soon as she saw the peach blossom cake, she was attracted by its good looks.

"Oh my! The peach blossoms in your shop are so handsome, they are no worse than the girls in my Tianxiang shed! Hahaha~"

Mother Chun bought ten peach blossom cakes, five vegetarian sobering ices and two packs of mung bean vegetarian cakes at one time.

As soon as she got the fruit, she reached out and took out a piece of peach blossom cake from the bag and bit it.

Seeing that Chun's mother liked the peach blossom cake very much, Ma Xi promoted it: "Mother Chun, I still have peach blossom stuffed cakes in my shop. It will be brewed in a month. You can come to Liuxiang Snacks to buy it then."

"Then I'll order ten pots from you first. This is the deposit." After saying that, he gave Shu Xi a 200-wen deposit without even asking about the price.

When Mao Xi returned to Liuxiang Snacks, he asked Lou Laner to go to Kaitang County tomorrow to pick more peach blossoms.

The next day, Lou Laner took Xiaohong's umbrella and went to Zhou Mansion to return the umbrella.

She had just left Zhou Mansion, and after walking a few steps, Xiaohong called from behind: "Sister Lan'er, wait a minute."

Xiaohong was carrying a flower basket, and it seemed that she was also out to pick peach blossoms.

"Xiaohong, are you out picking peach blossoms again?"

Xiaohong nodded, took her to the west stage, and said: "Sister Lan'er, do you know that my lady has a better appetite now since she ate the passion fruit from your shop. Our uncle specially told me to eat it regularly." Go to your shop to buy some food, and after picking the peach blossoms, I will go back to Lihua Town with you."

Xiaohong had a perky mouth and was very smart. Lou Laner was pulled by her to the west stage.

The west stage is mostly filled with actors singing songs, unlike the east stage, which is mostly lively with acrobatics. She doesn't come here often.

The peach blossoms filled the flower basket, and Lou Lan'er was about to leave. Suddenly there was an explosion on the stage, and a fire broke out in a corner of the stage. The opera troupe who was singing and playing music was not injured, but a Kongming lantern floated at the place where the fire started. There is a tiger head pattern painted on it.

The people in the audience were so frightened that they fled in all directions. Some people shouted, "The tiger monster bites people."

Xiao Hong pulled Lou Lan into a less crowded alley and said hurriedly: "Oh, it's all my fault. I only remembered to pick peach blossoms to make wine. Yesterday Jingzhe forgot to say 'beat the villain and sacrifice the white tiger'. I will be in bad luck in the future."

Lou Lan'er is from Beisu and doesn't understand the customs of Lingnan, let alone the saying of "beating villains and sacrificing white tigers".

"Miss Xiaohong, if you forgot it yesterday, make it up today. Although it's a day late, it's better than never doing it at all."

Xiaohong thought it made sense when she heard it, so she took Lou Laner to the market and bought some paper villains and tigers.

"Sister Lan'er, I won't go to Lihua Town with you today. I have to go back home first."

She also told Lou Lan'er to use raw pork to wipe the paper tiger's mouth when she goes back, so that the tiger's mouth is filled with oil and water, and use the sole of her shoe to hit the paper man. In the next year, she will stay away from villains and right and wrong.

Back in Lihua Town, after Lou Laner handed Shui Xi a basket of peach blossoms, he handed the paper villain and tiger to Shu Xi.

"Ah Shu, the west stage suddenly exploded today, and a tiger demon lantern flew up, but it was evil. Xiao Hong told me that as long as I 'beat the villain and sacrifice the white tiger', I can stay away from the villain, and everything will go smoothly in the future. "

Mao Xi took the paper tiger and the paper figurine and said, "Okay, Sister Lan'er, after the proofing is done in the evening, we will all make the figurines together!"
