[Farming] Orc's Little Silver Rabbit

After Eli left, Shen Xi reckoned that Lanlan would be here soon, so he started to make preparations for baking almond cakes.I took a very large wooden bowl, put oil, sugar and egg liquid into it, and stirred them evenly.As soon as these were mixed well, he heard someone calling his name outside the door.When I went out, I saw that it was Lanlan who came over with a basket of almonds.

Noah and Myron next door were lazily basking in the shade of the tree, and Noah's sensitive ears naturally caught Lanlan's voice.He turned into a human form and poked the sweet and sweet Myron who was sleeping next to him. His partner would never wake up after a nap, and he could sleep until dark if he let it go.

"Myron~Myron~" Noah lowered his head, with a smile on his lips, and stretched out his fingers to poke the soft body of the big white silkworm. Seeing that Myron still didn't respond, he simply used both hands to knead and enjoy it. With this soft and elastic silky touch.

Then Myron turned into a human form, nestled in his arms with sleepy eyes, squinted his eyes and rubbed against his shoulders again and again, and said softly and coquettishly: "If you don't want to wake up, just let me sleep again." For a while."

Noah poked his plump peach cheeks in a funny way, and said with a smile: "Didn't you still shout to eat almond cakes yesterday? Now Lanlan came over with a bunch of almonds, let's learn how to make them too." .”

As soon as he heard that there were delicious pastries, Myron immediately woke up, stood up shaking Noah's hand with bright eyes and said, "Let's go quickly! The crystal pastry that Shen Xi brought over yesterday is delicious, I still want to eat it." want to eat~”

When the two of them passed by, Shen Xi and Lan Lan were using a stone mortar to finely grind the almonds, and evenly mixed them into the liquid in the large bowl that Shen Xi had just stirred.Seeing them busy, Noah and Myron also washed their hands to help.The four of them naturally made things much faster, and the almonds were quickly ground into powder and mixed into the liquid.Shen Xi added an appropriate amount of flour to it, kneaded it into a big ball, then cut it into N equal-sized portions with a knife, pressed them into cakes, embedded almonds on top, and then started baking.

"It'll be fine when it's baked. Speaking of which, it's easier to make almond cakes. If it's like chestnut paste cakes or glutinous rice snowballs, it will be very troublesome." Shen Xi smiled, and invited them to the kitchen They sat down at the dining table and took out a lot of fresh plantains picked this morning to invite them to eat.

Noah brought fresh tea leaves from this year's New Year, and Shen Xi boiled water and poured it for everyone.

Lanlan and Noah Myron are both familiar, and they are not restrained in Shen Xi's house.Shen Xi looked at him eating, and there was still a trace of childishness, it was hard to imagine that he was an adult orc who had moved out to live.

"Shen Xi, you are so good, you can know all kinds of cakes." Lanlan bit a banana, said enviously with her ruddy lips.

"It's just the basics. In fact, the rest is a slight change in the raw materials, and the essential method has not changed much." Shen Xi said with some embarrassment. Being stared at by Myron and Lanlan with such undisguised envy, he felt very strange.

Noah is a person with a wide range of knowledge. Because he is a pharmacist, he is also the most powerful and rare nine-color deer of the deer clan. He has traveled to many places. Shen Xi was amazed.Together they talked about the weather, fields, harvests, prey, clothing and quilts of the Moon Clan... Speaking of the Moon Clan, everyone looked proud and happy.Shen Xi listened carefully, secretly remembering the various precautions in his heart.In terms of life experience, everyone present can be his teacher.

In this warm afternoon, the aroma of baking in the room gradually became stronger.The four of them inhaled the aroma and laughed, staring at the oven involuntarily.Shen Xi walked over and opened it to have a look. The almond cake inside was cracked and slightly yellowish, and it was almost out of the oven.

Myron and Lanlan were already full of anticipation, and they all came together to look at it, and asked curiously, "When will it be considered familiar?"

"Try the hardness with chopsticks, it's fine if it's hard and crispy," Shen Xi poked with his chopsticks and felt it was just right: "It should be fine." He took out all the freshly baked almond cakes, put them in On the big plate at home, there is a full plate.

Lanlan couldn't wait to take one and put it in her mouth. The almond crisp was roasted just right, crispy and soft, and it melted in the mouth.After eating, he couldn't help shouting delicious, and said to the three people looking at him with sparkling eyes: "Eat it quickly, this is delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious pastry!"

After eating one piece, Myron nodded sharply, saying "delicious" and took another piece.He ate that piece too quickly just now, and he didn't have time to taste it carefully, so he ate the second piece slowly.

Noah didn't eat it, but looked at the cute appearance of Myron's bulging cheeks with a smile and doting, and thoughtfully reached out to help him gently wipe off the crumbs from the corners of his red lips.Then he looked at the round flat shortbread in his hand.Six or seven cracks on the surface of the cake, the color is golden and buttery, exuding a faint aroma.He doesn't like sweets, but the roasted aroma mixed with almonds smells really good, so he tried it and found it very sweet and delicious, not greasy at all.He couldn't help but praised: "It would be a pity if we were the only ones to eat such a delicious almond cake. If we brought it to the market, it would be sold out immediately."

"Is it possible?" Shen Xi really thought about it, he didn't know technical work such as leather weaving and woodworking machinery, and the only thing he was good at was probably cooking.

Although the life of the Moon Clan is self-sufficient, he and Eli can also hunt and grow crops for a living, but Shen Xi, as a modern person, instinctively pursues a higher quality of life.He doesn't want to rely on Eli's efforts alone to maintain the family. If he can make money by selling pastries, then he won't feel distressed when buying things.Although Eli said that he came to hunt and pay back the money at the butcher shop, Shen Xi didn't want him to work hard.Just imagine, with so many people in the Moon Clan, the large prey around here must have been hunted long ago, and Eli has to fly over a mountain to find prey in the mountains behind. Thinking about this, Shen Xi feels reluctant.

"Of course it will be sold out," Myron agreed very much: "Yesterday's pearl cake was also delicious. I tried to make it this morning, but I couldn't make it taste like you."

"My taste?" Shen Xi was flattered: Will this kind of pastry really be popular?He just wanted to make more pastries for Eli, who has a sweet tooth, and he never thought about selling pastries before.

The four of them ate afternoon tea comfortably. Shen Xi had just explained the word afternoon tea to them. The other three felt that this name was really good, and they continued to use this name afterwards.

Lan Lan ate more than a dozen pieces of almond cakes in a row, leaned on the back of the chair with her stomach in her arms, squinted her eyes, and drank the tea comfortably. Live chasing the past.

The four of them were talking about the wild vegetables and fruits of this season, when they suddenly heard someone calling Lanlan at the door.

Shen Xi was startled for a moment before going out to have a look, but this person had already strode over.Against the light, dressed in a black robe, tall and straight, with extremely straight facial features, a pair of brown eyes on Fangzheng's face looked straight at Lanlan.He also has a pair of animal ears on his head that are similar to Lanlan's, but they are brown.

"Lan, I'll pick you up for dinner." Seeing Lan Lan sitting with the three females, Langdon was unavoidably displeased.Even knowing that the three of them are married, I still can't help but feel jealous.

"Brother!" Lan Lan pouted unhappily and looked at the person who came. Every time he wanted to play with someone, Langdon would appear with a thorn in his body.

"Dinner is ready," Langdon saw that he was pouting his lips angrily, and he looked unwilling to leave. His heart was even more sour. He stepped forward and pulled him up, and said firmly, "It's time to go back to eat." Turning her head to Shen Xi and Noah Myron again, she said: "I'm sorry, Lan Lan has caused you trouble, I'll take him back right now." After saying that, she dragged the unhappy Lan Lan away.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Shen Xi quickly came out with a basket on his shoulders: "Lanlan, you take this almond away, I can't take it."

"This is what it should be, Shen Xi, don't be polite." Lanlan was dragged away very quickly by Langdon, and he said loudly to Shen Xi: "I will come to play with you next time!" Then he was unwilling Wishing to be dragged away by Langdon.

Shen Xi returned to the house, and asked Noah hesitantly: "Is this person just now Lanlan's partner?" Seeing Lanlan's appearance just now, she seemed very unwilling.

Noah smiled and said: "No, that's Langdon, Lanlan's biological brother. He has been very strict with Lanlan since he was a child, and because he is always very fierce, he scared away many of Lanlan's friends."

"That's it." Shen Xi didn't feel that Langdon was very fierce, he thought: Could it be that he has seen Eli's ferocious hunting and killing of prey so many times that he has become immune to it?

Noah and Myron will also go back, Myron will go back to feed the silkworms with mulberry leaves, and Noah will take care of the medicine fields.After they left, Shen Xi silently cleaned up the kitchen and waited for Eli to come back.In the life of the Moon Clan without a computer or a mobile phone, I couldn't help but find something to do for myself when I was free.He remembered that the duck eggs he bought had not been processed, so he took out a basket of duck eggs and went to the stream to wash them.

When they first arrived, the ash from burning grass was still there, and it was reserved as fertilizer.Shen Xi vaguely remembered that there is a way to pickle salted duck eggs, which is to mix plant ash and salt, and then apply it on the duck eggs.He went back to the kitchen and took out a big wooden basin, and added plant ash, salt and water. Naturally, these things couldn't stick to the duck eggs directly, so Shen Xi even painted it with some mud.It is very troublesome to paint one by one, and Shen Xi is still not sure about the effect of pickling, so he only painted 20.

For the rest, he learned his grandmother's method, found a wooden barrel, put salt and yellow mud in it, added a lot of boiling water, adjusted it into a thinner mud, and put all the duck eggs in it when the water cooled down. , let them submerge in water, and sawed a wooden cover with a saw.

These days, his carpentry has become more and more proficient.
