A theater troupe recently came to the cross street stage, and a lantern and shadow play was performed on the stage at night.

Xiaodouzi and his sister Ajiao kept pushing forward in the crowd.

"Brother, brother, I can't see." Ajiao grabbed Xiaodouzi's hand and didn't dare to let go.

Before going out, Mrs. Chen told Xiaodouzi that she must keep an eye on her sister.

Xiaodouzi took Ajiao and finally squeezed into the front row. He took out a bag of popcorn and ate it with his sister.

"Little sister, what are you eating? It smells so good!" Chuntao, the little lady beside Ajiao, smelled the aroma of popcorn.

Xiaodouzi brought the popcorn to Chuntao and said with a smile: "Sister, this is popcorn. Eat one. It's delicious!"

Chuntao was not polite. She grabbed one and tasted it. She had never tasted the aroma of butter before, and she was instantly conquered by the taste.

Just as she was about to ask Xiaodouzi where she bought the popcorn, she heard Lou Laner's cries.

"Popcorn, butter popcorn, 5 cents a bag!" Lou Lan'er shouted while looking at the two little dolls for Ma Xi.

Chuntao bought a bag from Lou Lan'er, and Kaba Kaba also started to bite it.

The lantern shadow play started to perform, and another young lady squeezed in next to Chuntao.

Chuntao: "Guizhi, come here quickly. It's about to start. Today's performance is "Mulan""

The candle lights are on, and on the yellow curtain, the protagonist appears on the stage with the sound of gongs and drums.

A shadow puppet woman sits in front of the mirror, blinking her eyes and wearing a flower hairpin in front of the mirror.

Three or four dolls in the audience stared at the shadow puppets without blinking, and the candied haws in their hands no longer smelled good.

The shadow puppet turned around, and the red dress suddenly changed into that of a female military general, fighting with enemy soldiers, and the audience cheered.

After the play ended, Xiaodouzi took his sister Ajiao and prepared to go back to the store, but Ajiao stood still.

She was staring at a little boy, who was holding a bamboo stick with a face stuck in the end. The boy bit off half of the dough in one bite and started eating.

"What are you eating?" Ajiao asked.

"This is the Noodle Maker. Come on, I'll take you to see it."

The little boy took Ajiao to a noodle maker's stall, with Xiaodouzi and Lou Lan'er following behind.

There are all kinds of exquisite dough figures in front of the stall, including the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the golden boy and the jade girl, birds and beasts. The masters of the dough making skills are skillful, and the dough figures under his hands are lifelike.

"Brother, I also want a noodle maker! I want a parrot."

The old master made a red parrot and stood on a bamboo circle. The bamboo circle was tied to a wooden stick with a cotton rope.

Ajiao carried the face-faced parrot and ran back to Liuxiang Snacks.

The parrot "Doudou" flew onto Ajiao's shoulder, staring at the fake parrot in her hand, seeming to say hello, shouting "Doudou~Doudou~"

Doudou stayed with this fake parrot all day long, so Ma Xi had no choice but to take Doudou back to Liujiacun.

Ajiao took the masked parrot and ran to the village to show off to Goudan and other dolls.

"Ajiao, can you eat this kind of person?" Goudan asked.

"Of course!" Ajiao raised her face and waved it in front of Goudan, "I won't eat it!"

Ajiao generously lent Goudan the dough to play with, and the two played and chased each other in the square outside the ancestral hall.

The parrot flew up after Doudou. Goudan wanted to help Ajiao catch the parrot, but he accidentally fell and the man-faced parrot was broken into two halves.

"Woo~woo!" Ajiao cried. Goudan picked up the broken noodle and took Ajiao home.

"Sister, my noodle is broken!" Ajiao felt so aggrieved that she burst into tears.

Goudan blushed, holding the broken parrot, and said in shame: "It's all my fault, I accidentally broke the parrot!"

Mao Xi squatted down, wiped away the tears on A-mei's face, and said, "Ah Jiao, be good, stop crying. If it breaks, A-mei will pinch you a new one."

Miao Xi uses flour, glutinous rice flour, sugar, and honey to make the dough, dyes it with vegetable juice and carrot juice, and uses a small bamboo knife to carve the dough. Although it is not as delicate as the dough maker, it is still cute.

She took out two barbecue bamboo sticks and made a red parrot for Ajiao and a small green snake for Goudan.

Xiaodouzi's childlike innocence is still intact, and he still wants to make trouble.

Mao Xi used the remaining materials to make a red and green rooster.

Inspired by the dough-making man, Mao Xi made some small animals and red rose-shaped dough-making men, and wrapped them in rice bran paper to prevent dust.

After opening, Mao Xi put the prepared edible noodles in bamboo tubes, placed them next to the cash register, and sold them for 3 Wen each.

When the little babies see little animals, they will ask their parents to buy them some, while the young girls like red roses.

One day, the walking man Dali brought his daughter to the restaurant for dinner. When her daughter saw the rooster dough sculpture, she made a fuss and asked for it.

"Daddy, I want that cock!"

Brother Dali usually loves this daughter the most, so he bought it readily.

"Sister Amo, do you sell steamed buns in this shop?"

Ma Xi shook her head and said, "Not yet, only pancakes and naan."

"Then bring me some roasted naan, soy milk, and a bowl of hot and sour noodles!"

"Dad, the steamed buns made by grandma are also colorful and delicious!" The daughter drank the soy milk and was reluctant to eat the rooster dough sculpture.

Mao Xi thought of flower buns, so she had an idea and kneaded them with flour. After some manipulation and decoration, a piglet bun was ready.

She put the steamed buns into the steamer and took them out after a quarter of an hour.

"Brother Dali, I made a piglet bun. Please help me try it."

"What a cute little pig!" Dali's daughter picked up one and bit into it. It was filled with red bean paste.

The aroma of red bean paste attracted Ajiao.

Dali's daughter handed her a piglet bun, and the two little girls ate it happily.

Lou Lan'er took a bite and thought it tasted good: "Ah Shu, I think we can also sell some steamed buns in the future. The lower layer of the steamer will steam the soup, and the upper layer will steam the steamed buns."

Encouraged by everyone, Ma Xi returned to the table and started kneading the dough again, trying to make "walnut buns".

Prepare the filling first: roast walnuts and peanuts and mash them until set aside; fry a small amount of flour over low heat until slightly brown, pour the fried flour into the chopped nuts, add a small amount of maltose, white sugar, water and oil and mix well , roll into a ball.

Add brown sugar to the dough to dye it, wrap it with fillings and roll it into a round shape. Cut it in half from the middle with a bamboo knife, and use tongs to create walnut patterns.

As soon as the walnut buns came out of the pan, they immediately attracted everyone. She took one each and gave it to Ajiao and Dali's daughter. The sweet nut filling mixed with the burnt aroma of brown sugar dough aroused everyone's appetite.

Mao Xi asked the clerks to take some for breakfast according to their preferences.

"It smells so good of walnuts." Bai, the owner of the scissor shop, and his wife happened to come to the store.
