Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

The skin of the shortbread is golden and crispy, and it is hot when the guests hold it on their fingertips.

It's so sweet and fragrant that the children won't tolerate it. When they get a piece of free food, they smile. After taking a quick look, they stuff it into their mouths.

The teeth bite lightly, penetrating the crispy and crumbly skin, and the tip of the tongue is filled with a sweetness that I have never experienced before, soft and smooth, as if it is sandy!

Well!

Really delicious!

"Give us another piece, this one is too little and we don't taste it!"

The boy holding the sesame cake laughed innocently, glanced at the shortbread on the Liumeixiang spatula, and said flatteringly.

Children can beg shamelessly, but adults cannot. The adult leading the child saw his child staring at the shortbread shoveled into the bamboo plate by the boss and swallowing saliva, so he stepped forward to inquire about the price.

"Short cakes cost a penny each. They are made of white flour and do not contain any coarse grains. The brown sugar and sesame seeds inside are also solid. These pastries are only sold in the town. How many pieces do you want, sister-in-law?"

Liu Yu smiled and explained patiently to the adult who looked a little hesitant.

"Give me two dollars!"

Hearing that it cost one penny per dollar, the adult who asked the question was relieved. Her family was relatively well-off, and she would buy some cakes and send them back to her parents' house during the holidays. The noodles and fruits in the shop cost a box of eight, but they cost twelve pence. So, It's just a doughnut, it looks nice, but it has no filling at all!

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu quickly took a piece of oil paper, sandwiched two packages and handed them to the woman.

After paying off the money, the woman took the child and was about to leave. In the blink of an eye, she saw a pile of rattan baskets of twists on the handlebar, and she paused briefly.

"Sister-in-law, our twists cost five cents for seven sticks. If sister-in-law wants it, I will give you five cents of twist. They are also crispy and tight!"

Changsheng was arranged by Liu Yu to sit on the handlebar. When he saw the woman's eyes glancing at the twists, he quickly started to sell them.

As he spoke, he broke open a twist, handed a small piece to the woman's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, have a taste, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it!"

The sun is mild in winter, and you don't have to work in the fields. Changsheng's food is even whiter this winter. The warm sun shines on his face. He smiles kindly, and his muscles and bones are smooth and non-aggressive.

The woman thanked her and took the twist, broke off a piece and handed it to the baby, while she ate a small piece herself.

The fried twists are golden brown, and the flour and sesame seeds are fried in hot oil, making them even more salty and fragrant.

The woman tasted it once and couldn't help but nod. It was just as the handsome young man said, it was so crispy and tight!

"I'll buy it when I get home after the show. If I buy it now, it won't be long before my greedy cat can finish it!"

The woman spoke kindly, and after speaking, she took the child and left!

Chang Sheng was not sure whether this was the woman's excuse, and he felt a little regretful, so he could only nod "Okay".

Liu Yu was distracted by observing Changsheng greeting the guests, and for a moment she forgot that there were a group of young guests in front of her.

Seeing the woman taking the child away, it didn't matter. It was a stall, and it was impossible for everyone to buy it.

"Would you like one of these sweet and crispy shortbread cookies?"

Liu Yu pointed to the bamboo plate with shortcakes in front of her and chuckled.

"Here, give me one!"

The child who was nibbling sesame seed cakes seemed to have made a lot of determination. He took out a copper plate and put it in Liu Yu's hand, gritting his teeth.

Liu Yu nodded with a smile, and was about to pick up a piece. She might as well point her hand to the side, insisting on which piece was bigger, and wanted that piece.

Liu Yu's bamboo chopsticks were tilted slightly, and she pinched the piece of his finger with a smaller piece of oil paper and placed it on the boy's hand.

"When you buy it later, you have to make your own choices. These bosses are the most cunning and cunning. Most of them choose the smaller ones when they see us being young..."

The boy's voice was neither loud nor quiet. Even though he deliberately lowered his voice, it still reached Liu Yu's ears.

Liu Yu only felt that he was wronged. When these shortcakes were made, the dough sizes were basically the same, even if there was a slight difference, he would never single out the younger ones to bully the children again.

With such skill, the eight shortcakes in the pot were also made, thanks to the blessing of these children.

Pedestrians passing by saw the bustle in front of this stall and always stopped for a moment. Some took a second look, while others asked what the items were and how much they cost.

If you want to taste it, stop and wait.

Those who think bigger sesame cakes are more cost-effective will move aside and go to the Liushan stall to buy a sesame cake to comfort their children.

They looked familiar at this small food stall.

The newly baked shortbread was hot and cooled for a while, and then the children began to pick it up. Each of the five or six children held a warm shortbread in their hands, with smiles on their faces.

Send these children away, bangs, gongs and drums suddenly sound!

This sudden sound made several people jump in surprise, and they looked for the sound. On the stage, they saw two colorful actors dressed as servants, holding gongs, drums and clappers, beating and circling around the stage, and then retreated behind the curtain. .

As the two people left, the sound of silk music sounded, and the curtain slowly opened to both sides, revealing an actor in exquisite and gorgeous appearance.

After a chuckle, the water sleeves were lightly tossed, the lotus steps were moved lightly, and with the brisk music, there was a whirl and dance, and finally the opera began.

"This play is about four fairies descending to earth!"

Liu Meixiang also looked at the stage and said softly.

The town meeting became more and more lively as the actors made their debuts. The entire sides of Caoshikou, not far from the stage, were full of small vendors selling things.

There are also some vendors selling rice dumplings. They string the rice dumplings and tie them together, then tie them on the haystacks, carry them on their shoulders together, and shout and sell them.

The children looked around with bright red faces, and they all thought it was delicious. They only had limited money in their pockets, so they had to spend it carefully.

Buy the food items that you find most enjoyable.

The shouts of selling came one after another.

Liu Yu and Liu Shan also raised their voices and shouted to eat the food they sold.

At the town meeting, the happiest thing is the children. The older children who can go to the meeting alone on this day have three to five cents of silver in their pockets, and their money is the easiest to earn.

After sending away a few more young guests, Liu Yu glanced at Liu Shan, who was sweating on his forehead, and said, "Either let Changsheng help you!"

Liushan's hand seemed to have never stopped, and he kept turning the pancake plate.

"No, I only have this set of tools for baking sesame pancakes, and I just watched them from the side. This thing looks simple, but it can get burnt if I'm not careful. I'll do it myself!"

Liu Shan waved his hand and refused.

"At least he can help roll out the cake!"

Liu Yu was speechless and said again!

"Hey, I forgot!"

Liu Shan smiled sheepishly, thought about it for a moment, and still refused.

The customers who come to buy sesame cakes all want them freshly baked. If he makes too many in advance, who can he sell them to?

It's better to just stay like this. Even though it's busier and the stall is waiting for customers, it still looks very popular, so it can attract some people anyway.

Liu Fusheng explained it clearly in a few words, and Liu Yu only felt that he had learned it and did not force it.

Unlike the old people who moved their horses and listened to the opera under the stage, a group of young people and children crowded there in Caoshikou, whistling and applauding the buskers performing acrobatics.
