Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 231 I want to open the shop to the provincial capital (2)
Due to an illness, Mrs. Li began to strictly prohibit Lin Xiaoqiao from tossing about in the ground. Not only that, but she was not allowed to intervene in the work in the shop.

Moreover, she took time out every day to cook a nutritious soup for her little girl to replenish Lin Xiaoqiao's body.

Lin Xiaoqiao was touched by Li Shi's concern for her, but she was in a panic every day, and had nothing to do all day long, so she could only toss about in her own kitchen to pass the time.

Mrs. Li knows that her little girl's temperament is not easy to calm down. If she doesn't give her something to do, she will probably get bored. She feels that the weather is not too hot now, so she just let it go. Lin Xiaoqiao occasionally makes a pastry or something by herself, maybe it's to relieve her boredom.

This afternoon, after Lin Xiaoqiao took a nap, he walked casually in his yard, stretching his arms and muscles, and moving his muscles and bones.

While walking around, she suddenly saw a big pumpkin hidden in her vegetable field, and it was hidden under two big leaves. Lin Xiaoqiao pushed the leaves aside and pulled the pumpkin out.

At this time of year, the pumpkins are considered relatively old. Lin Xiaoqiao looked at the big, golden pumpkin in his hand, and it must be considered a pleasant surprise.

Originally, the pumpkin seeds she sowed earlier were not many, so the fruits she harvested were countable. Not counting the one she took in her hand, she picked a total of seven or eight before, and they were all small in size. It wasn't very big, and Mrs. Li took it to the shop to stir-fry, and distributed it to the big guys to taste together.

Lin Xiaoqiao stared at the big pumpkin in his hand and decided that it would be better to make some pumpkin pies with it.

Although the stir-fried pumpkin is particularly refreshing, but this pumpkin has grown old, and it is not suitable for frying and eating.

So, Lin Xiaoqiao held her big pumpkin and tossed about in the kitchen. Today, Lin Xiaoxi went to the shop to help out, but she hasn't come back yet. Only she and her two older brothers are left in the house. So Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't find anyone to help, so he had to do everything himself.

She first cut off a large piece of the whole big pumpkin, then peeled and washed it, then steamed it in a pot.

After Lin Xiaoqiao lit the fire, he filled two handfuls of firewood into the stove and ran away to prepare glutinous rice flour and sugar.

After a quarter of an hour, he lifted the lid of the pot, took out the steamed pumpkin, and after mashing it, Lin Xiaoqiao conveniently added an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and sugar into the pumpkin.

She also made this pumpkin cake in her previous life. The procedure for making it is very simple, but there is one key point, that is, do not add water to the glutinous rice flour, because the pumpkin puree already contains a lot of water. If it is too wet and soft, it will not be conducive to forming when it is fried in the pan, or it may stick to the pan.

Lin Xiaoqiao stepped on the bench, kneading and kneading the small arms, and finally kneaded the dough properly. Then she picked up the small dough one by one, and kneaded them with her own pair of small hands. The circle is squashed again.

Lin Xiaoqiao was humming while making the pumpkin pie. When she was almost halfway through the kneading, she suddenly remembered that it would be more delicious to add some kind of stuffing to it.

So, she got off the bench slowly, searched carefully in her kitchen, and finally found the leftover sweet bean paste in a small jar.

Lin Xiaoqiao hooked his little finger to pick a little bit, put it in his mouth and tasted it, it was sweet, so it should not be broken.

So, she filled the remaining small dough with sweet red bean paste as filling, and put the two kinds of pumpkin cakes on two small strips separately.

In consideration of the large number of people eating it, Lin Xiaoqiao made a lot of pumpkin pies this time. By the time she kneaded each of the small pumpkin pies into cake shapes, an hour had passed.

He rubbed his sore shoulders and arms. He was really used to living a leisurely and comfortable life recently, and his muscles and bones were a little lazy, so he felt uncomfortable all over.

Although he felt a little tired, Lin Xiaoqiao persisted and finished frying the pumpkin pies one by one.

From Lin Xiaoqiao's point of view, this frying process is quite grueling. She not only has to keep an eye on the heat in the stove so that it doesn't go out, but also doesn't let it heat up enough to prevent the pumpkin pie from getting mushy when frying. .

Not only that, but she has to turn the pumpkin pies in the pot from time to time, which is really busy on both sides of the stove and the front of the pot. Just in the process of frying all the pumpkin pies, Lin Xiaoqiao is running in such a short distance between the pot and the stove. After dozens of back and forth, she was so tired that she wanted to throw down the spatula and quit.

However, when she finished frying all the pumpkin pies one by one, and looked at the two tall pots of pumpkin pies on the edge of the pot, which were golden yellow and exuded an attractive fragrance, she felt very special. sense of accomplishment.

The two Dalang brothers couldn't stand the temptation at this time, they threw down their books and came out to please their little sister.

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at her two elder brothers, those two 'flattering' smiling faces that would appear automatically whenever they smelled the fragrance, so she took two small plates consciously, and mixed two flavors of pumpkin pie , Each served a plate for them to enjoy.

Since the two brothers Dalang Erlang passed the children's examination, although they haven't gone to the new school to study recently, they have not slacked off. Instead, they continue to work hard and study hard all day long.

Seeing the two elder brothers working so hard, Lin Xiaoqiao naturally wouldn't treat them badly, as long as there was something delicious to eat, he would consciously prepare for the two brothers.

However, these two young brothers are not only good at reading, but also have a very good nose. These days, every time Lin Xiaoqiao makes delicious food in his own kitchen, they don't wait for their little sister to deliver it to their door. I will explore first.

The pumpkin pie made by Lin Xiaoqiao was very small, so the two brothers held the plate and ate one mouthful happily. The two brothers ate two plates of pumpkin pie at once while nestling in the kitchen.

Seeing that they were still full of ideas, Lin Xiaoqiao filled them with two more dishes, and then sent them away.

After the two brothers Dalang Erlang were sent away contentedly, Lin Xiaoqiao left some pumpkin cakes on the cupboard, in case the two brothers didn't have enough to eat, they came to get them again, and then took the rest to the shop.

These pumpkin pies are more delicious to eat while they are hot. Lin Xiaoqiao ate and walked along the way, and when she reached the door of the shop, she had already wiped out a dozen of them.

Mrs. Li and the others were gathering together at this time, counting the recent income of the shop, as soon as Lin Xiaoqiao came in, he greeted everyone and ate pumpkin pie.
