Raising children in an ancient county

Qiao Shen planned to make moon cakes today, so he didn't go out to sell jelly today.

This made little Changle very anxious. Little Changle was at the age of being active, and he was happy to go out with his father every day. Today was a holiday, and he couldn't stay idle, so he dragged Qiao Shen to the gate of the courtyard.

"Daddy won't go out today." Qiao Shen carried him back.

Little Chang Le talked again, seeing that his father would not go, he twisted his small body and went to the gate of the courtyard.

"Then you can play here by yourself, and Daddy will make mooncakes for you to eat." The courtyard gate was locked by Qiao Shen with the latch, and he patted it with his little hands.

His little hands hurt from clapping, seeing that his father still didn't come to open the door, he just sat at the door and poked the ants on the ground with his fat and short little finger.

It's just that he called Dad from time to time, with a long voice: "Da~da~"

Qiao Shen secretly watched him stop making trouble, and made sure he couldn't get out of the yard, so he went back to make moon cakes, with the background music of 'da da'.

Qiao Shen poured the soaked lotus seeds into a large stone mortar, and ground them into mud with a stone pestle.Then heat the oil in a pan, pour in the sugar, and when the sugar melts, pour the lotus seed paste into the pan and stir-fry over low heat. When the lotus seed paste becomes thick, the lotus seed paste is ready.

Take the salted egg yolk, wash off the salt on the surface, first wrap the egg yolk with lotus seed paste, then wrap the lotus paste with dough, and finally roll it into a ball, put it in the stove for baking sesame seeds and bake until cooked.

Looking at the mooncakes he made, Qiao Shen wanted to laugh.Because there is no mold, the baked mooncakes look like egg yolk crisps, but the taste is very good, after all, they are made of pure natural ingredients.

However, the shape does not affect its taste. The dough is baked and soft, and the lotus paste is delicate and sweet.Xiao Changle was very supportive, and even asked for one after eating, but Qiao Shen coaxed him to eat lunch to divert his attention.Moon cakes are heavy in oil and sugar, and children who eat too much are prone to stomach stagnation.

After dinner, Xiao Changle refused to take a nap and went out noisy.

"Where are you going? You can't be surrounded by such a big yard?" Qiao squatted down and hugged Xiao Changle.

"Well... sell..." Xiao Changle twisted her small body.

"Not for sale, not for sale today."

"Hmm... hum... woo..." Xiao Changle frowned faintly, pouted her small mouth and moaned, with an expression of crying if she didn't take me to 'sales'.

Qiao Shen simply picked up the food box and filled it with mooncakes, and led Xiao Changle to the carpenter's shop to find Qi Shuo.In his heart, Qiao Shen is used to giving Qi Shuo the first one every time he makes a fresh meal.

"That's right, this is egg yolk? It's salty and delicious." Unsurprisingly, the mooncakes were loved by Qi Shuo. Qiao thought to himself: When did Qi Shuo not like the mooncakes he made?

"Look at Changle. The mooncakes are heavy in oil and sugar. He is still young and can't digest too much. I will send some to the next door. Thank you for your help a few days ago."

Qiao Shen has a lot of them, and the moon cakes are made with a single egg yolk, so they are not that big.Qiao Shen packed two egg yolk mooncakes in a small plate and sent them to Shopkeeper Liu's porcelain shop.

Shopkeeper Liu heard from his husband that Qiao Shen often made delicious food for his son Yongyuan, and the two families got closer, so shopkeeper Liu was not polite to Qiao Shen.

After eating an egg yolk mooncake, shopkeeper Liu was amazed: "Your mooncake is really strange, sweet but not greasy, and egg yolk is salty but not greasy. Such a wonderful thing is a must-have gift for the festival."

After chatting with shopkeeper Liu for a few words, what shopkeeper Liu said gave Qiao Shen some ideas.

Back at the carpenter's shop, little Changle fell asleep on the bench, Qi Shuo sat beside him drinking barley tea, and fanned little Changle with a cattail fan in one hand.

Qiao Shen walked over, touched Xiao Changle's forehead, and said softly to Qi Shuo, "I won't sleep no matter how coaxed you are at home, as if a needle had pricked him on the bed, I brought him here just now, I didn't want to come here Oh."

Qi Shuo looked at the duplicity Qiao Shen with a half-smile, put down his teacup, stretched out his big hand to pull Qiao Shen to sit beside him, and talked to him, "Are you tired? Let's go home together when the sun is down, huh?"

"I'm not tired, are you busy today?"

"Not busy, why?" Looking at Qiao Shen's expression, he knew that he had something to ask of himself, so Qi Shuo asked proactively.

"Shopkeeper Liu said just now that the mooncakes I make can be a good gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival." Qiao Shen couldn't wait to express his thoughts.

'Gift giving' is a good social way to maintain relationships. It can be used not only between couples, in the workplace, and between relatives and friends. In ancient times, it was the same. In a world with people, there is social interaction.

"So, I plan to make something more beautiful and sell it to Lin Fuji." Lin Fuji is the largest pastry shop in Dongzhen, not only that, it is also a chain enterprise.Because the pastries are exquisite and delicious, it is the first choice for people to give gifts.

"Okay, tell me, I'll do it for you." Qi Shuo knew that his job was coming when he saw the look in Qiao Shen's eyes when he mentioned the word "beautiful".

"Hey... I want a round mold of this size, and engrave me a cover with the word "Fu..." Qiao Shen grabbed Qi Shuo's hand, made a circle on his palm, and then made a circle on his own. Qi Shuo gestured with his hand to cover the blessing, and finally put his own hand in Qi Shuo's palm, and rehearsed how to make a beautiful moon cake.

"When we go back, stop by to see the signboard of Lin Fuji. You write down the word in the middle and engrave that word." Qiao Shen told Qi Shuo the plan.

"You don't need to look at it, I'll make it for you now." What Qiao Shen didn't know was that the plaque hanging on Lin Fuji's shop was refurbished last year, and it was newly made by his husband Qi Shuo.

Qiao Shen looked at Qi Shuo with admiration, this is too amazing!As expected of her husband!

Qi Shuo asked Qiao Shen to pick a thick piece of wood by himself, picked up the tools and went to the workbench, dug a hole in the middle of the wood, polished it smooth, and carved a word "Fu" on the hole.Recalling how Qiao Shen described it, he carved the edge of the pit into a jagged shape, and finally smoothed the whole piece of wood, and took it out to Qiao Shen.

"Wow, that's great! It's even better than I imagined! And it was done so quickly?" Qiao Shen was very pleasantly surprised that the mold was no worse than the modern one.

"Why are you so smart? I was thinking of pressing it with a lid, but you did it all by yourself."

Qi Shuo's adoring gaze towards Qiao was very helpful, so he smiled proudly: "I just want to engrave you on my hand."

Qiao Shen was stunned for a moment before realizing that Qi Shuo was referring to Qiao Shen using his hands as a cover when describing, and covering Qi Shuo's hands with his own.

After reacting, Qiao Shen was a little embarrassed at first, but looking at Qi Shuo's deep eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows, looking at himself tenderly, he couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Qi Shuo's face.

Qi Shuo pressed the kiss on the left cheek with his tongue, and pulled Qiao Shen to stand up. Qiao Shen was dragged into the back of the screen for unknown reasons. As soon as he stood still, Qi Shuo said, "You were outside just now. What?" In broad daylight, the shop door was wide open, and Qiao Shen actually seduced himself like this.

Qiao Shen blushed, thinking that Qi Shuo was scolding him, and wanted to apologize: "Ah... I... am I..."

Before Qiao Shen could finish speaking, Qi Shuo wrapped his arms around Qiao Shen's waist, bowed his head and covered Qiao Shen's mouth with his lips.This is a purely masculine taste. Qi Shuo sucked Qiao Shen's lower lip and felt Qiao Shen's obedience. Then he covered it up and stuck out his tongue to lick Qiao Shen's tongue...

Qi Shuo took the initiative to finish it. He raised his head to look at the dumbfounded Qiao Shen, and couldn't help but lowered his head and pecked Qiao Shen lightly. Finally, he completely let go of Qiao Shen, led him back to the tea table and sat down.

Qiao Shen was too shy, but fortunately, little Chang Le also finished her nap, woke up clinging to the adults and acting like a baby, rescued Qiao Shen, and also drove away the ambiguous atmosphere between the two adults.

On the way back, Qiao Shen bought a lot of materials for making moon cakes. After processing the lotus seeds and egg yolks, Qiao Shen started to make dinner.
