Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 9

Ever since Ye Tao was beaten by Ye Jizu, Ye Tao has become the same as before. She never dared to go out to play alone. Ye Xing had no choice but to take Ye Tao with her.When she was making orange ginger tea, she made a cup for Ye Tao, and the warm orange flavor made Ye Tao feel a little relieved.

Seeing Ye Tao obediently holding the tea and drinking it, Ye Xing softened her heart. She took out the processed sweet-scented osmanthus and made some snacks in advance that she was going to take to Tong's house for sale - small sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes.

Osmanthus small sugar cakes are not complicated to make. Prepare flour, add a spoonful of white sugar, and then use half of the boiling water to boil the noodles while stirring with chopsticks. The noodles just after adding water will be sticky and need to be kneaded for a while.Ye Xing simply grabbed a small piece of dough for Ye Tao to play with, and Ye Tao kneaded the sticky dough imitating Ye Xing's technique.

When Ye Tao's dough became dirty, the dough in Ye Xing's hand became smoother and smoother, and Ye Tao curiously poked the piece of dough with his short hand.

Ye Xing asked Ye Tao to wash her hands, while she kneaded the dough into long strips and divided them into equal pieces and formed them into balls.Two spoonfuls of sweet-scented osmanthus, one spoonful of sugar and one spoonful of flour are mixed into a sugar filling, put on the round dough rolled out by Wang's help, wrapped and sealed like a bun, and then rolled into a small round cake with a little thickness.Heat the pan, brush the cake with oil and put it into the pan, turn it back and forth on both sides, fry until golden and then it can be out of the pan.

Ye Xing gave one to Ye Tao. The palm-sized biscuit is also very convenient for children to hold. One bite, the soft biscuit skin is surprisingly elastic, and the sweet-scented osmanthus will fill the entire mouth after chewing. It is really delicious. , there are still some sugar particles in it that have not melted, and the graininess increases the taste level of the sugar cake.Ye Tao's mouth was covered with sugar stains, and after eating one, she still licked the corners of her mouth and wanted to eat it.

Mrs. Wang also nodded after eating. She didn't expect such a simple thing to make such a delicious thing. Ye Xing said while eating, "Don't eat too much, I still have one thing I haven't made yet."

After Ye Xing ate the cake in his hand, he mixed the additionally prepared sticky rice flour, glutinous rice flour, sugar and water evenly, and kneaded it into a granule that could be kneaded into a ball and would break when touched. Put it in the gauze.The gauze is placed in a large round bowl. Ye Xing cuts the powder inside into squares with a knife. After the water is boiled, put it in a pot and steam for two quarters of an hour.

After steaming, open the pot and let it cool down. Sprinkle dried osmanthus and sugar osmanthus on the surface. The snow-white rice cake is dotted with golden osmanthus, making the simple rice cake instantly delicate.

Although it is made of glutinous rice, the rice cakes are soft and fluffy after eating. The rice fragrance mixed with the sweet-scented osmanthus flavor makes people satisfied immediately.Ye Tao accidentally ate two extra pieces, plus the sweet-scented osmanthus pancakes she ate just now, it seemed that she couldn't eat anymore.

Ye Xing's orange ginger tea and sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance kept wafting out, and everyone in the nearby village could smell it. When everyone gathered together to gossip, it was inevitable that they would bring a few words with them.

"Hey, why is Wang's family so fragrant every day recently, can't they live?"

"Not only that, they have made new clothes since they were separated, and that little one often eats candy, my kid said she couldn't finish all the candy in her pocket!"

"If you ask me, if you have never managed money in your hands, you won't be able to run a family. Now that you don't buy any candies or make new clothes, I'd say it's better to save a little bit."

But Ye Xing's neighbor, Mrs. Chen, saw that someone brought a large basket of oranges to Ye Xing's house a few days ago, and she often took things to Fucheng. Mrs. Chen's thinking was completely different.

"Who said that they can't live a life? How can they afford to live in a new house with the little money they split up!" Chen raised her chin towards Ye Xing's house and said in a low voice, "Her family has often been to Fucheng recently. , every time I go out, I will definitely bring back something, and I must have made money in Fucheng."

Yejia Village and nearby villagers can earn money in Fucheng only because men do part-time jobs, women sell needlework, or sell their family's grain, but the money they get is not too much, so some people don't believe it.

"How can the three of them make money in Fucheng? Wang's needlework is similar to my family's. They can make a lot of money anywhere. The three of them can't sell all their food in just a few days, right?"

Seeing everyone looking at her suspiciously, Chen felt great satisfaction in her heart. She likes to gossip with the villagers the most on weekdays, because only at this time can she become the protagonist of the crowd, and everyone has to wait for her to talk.

Chen hinted at everyone getting closer, and deliberately said mysteriously: "A few days ago, I saw that her house sold a large basket of oranges, at least one or two hundred catties."

Someone couldn't wait to say: "Why buy so many oranges, there are only three people in her family, and there is a small one, and I can't finish it."

"You are so stupid, you can't eat it yourself, sores are full of sores in your mouth!" Chen rolled her eyes at the person and continued, "Actually, her family had the taste of this orange before, it was very, very sweet! Then, guess what? ?”

Mrs. Chen waited for a while, and when everyone could no longer bear it, she said, "Pannan, ah no, Ye Xing went to Fucheng with a pannier on her back, and when she came back, the pannier was obviously empty, and then the family ate meat. Ye Tao also eats candy. You said it’s not about making money, that’s why they bought another one or two hundred catties of oranges!”

For a while, people in the village were all guessing how Ye Xing's family made money in Fucheng with oranges, and how much they made.Xiao Li, who was listening to gossip in the crowd, also felt itchy, and she immediately ran home to tell Li and the others about it.

"Are you serious?! Mrs. Wang and the others made a lot of money selling oranges in Fucheng?!" Mrs. Li stood up as soon as she heard this, and asked Mrs. Li in disbelief.

Little Li was taken aback, touched his chest and said, "Yes, then Aunt Chen lives next to the three of their mothers, it's true, one or two hundred catties of oranges cost a lot of money! "

"Then, how do those oranges make money? They can't be reselling oranges, so where does her house come from such a big fragrance?" Ye An was also puzzled.

"Who knows how they make money, as expected of a money-loser and a white-eyed wolf. The family has been eating and drinking for so long. If there is a way to make money, they just hold back and sell some worthless embroidery work." When Mrs. Li thought that the three of Mrs. Wang had made a lot of money after dividing the family, she felt indignant. She slapped the table angrily and cursed, "Let me see, the three of them may have longed for the death of the second child, and the death of the second child." They can just separate out."

Xiao Li's family also continued to fight: "Yes, the division took away so much money and food from the family, so that our family's ancestors didn't have anything to eat, and that little money-losing product has a lot of sugar. You can divide it up casually." Eat it for the villagers. They won’t send it here if they make money!”

Xiao Li made a bitter face, and pretended to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. When Li heard this, she felt that a fire was about to burst out of her chest. Ye Wan held her back when she was about to go to the door and yell.

"Okay, what are you going to scold? It doesn't matter how much money she makes after we split up. If the second child is still there, she can still come to her. Besides, you know how she makes money and how much she makes, and how much money she makes? Do you think the family is not shameful enough?" Ye Wan glared at Mrs. Li, "Mr. Chen's mouth is so broken, everyone in the village must know it, and everyone must be staring at it now, let's just wait."
