Chapter 336 Steamed Flower Cake

After Gu Lin left home for a day and a night, Gu Mingzhang personally found the Fourteen's house and brought his wedding invitation at the same time.

"Master Gu is going to get married, why is there no news before?" Fourteen made a surprised expression, "Which family are you going to marry?"

When Gu Mingzhang heard this, his expression became complicated for a moment.Said: "Yuliang County's Liu Niang of Yuan's family just made an appointment a few days ago, so few people know about it."

"The sixth mother of Yuan's family?" Fourteen said, "Qi Xian's family is in Yuliang County. I also have some business partners in the county. I don't know which Yuan's family they are? They live in the south or north of the city, maybe I know them too. "

Gu Mingzhang showed embarrassment, and said: "...it's not a famous family, and you might not know it if you tell me."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Fourteen said, "Then this Liu Niang of the Yuan family must have something extraordinary, to be favored by the head of the Gu family, and I can't wait to marry her back home."

Fourteen is not someone who would meddle in other people's private affairs, Gu Mingzhang was a little surprised that she would talk so much today.

Could it be that Ah Lin said something to her?Gu Mingzhang doubted.

"Miss Xiao, why hasn't Ah Lin come out yet?"

"Did you quarrel with Ah Lin?" Fourteen asked without answering, "Yesterday, I suddenly ran over without anyone with me. I thought you would come over that day, and even if you didn't come in person, you should send someone Come and find him."

Gu Mingzhang's face became hot when he heard this, he suspected that Shisi was deliberately embarrassing him.

He spent the whole day yesterday at Yuan's house discussing the details of the wedding, and only after he came back today did he find out that Gu Lin skipped class and came here.

"It's nothing, there's no quarrel." Gu Mingzhang said, "I know he came to look for Ah Yan, and he also told me that he wants to stay here for one night."

"Oh." Fourteen nodded, leaned back a little, and said to Yinzhu, "Yinzhu, go to the second floor to see why Ah Lin hasn't come down yet."

Yinzhu made a quick trip back and forth, and came back to report: "My lady, Mr. Ah Lin said that he doesn't want to go home and wants to stay here for a few more days."

"How can this work?" Gu Mingzhang stood up, a little displeased, "I'll go up and find him."

Gu Lin is not the kind of child who will act recklessly, he refuses to come out because he has been out for a day and a night, and his father thought of coming to him.He felt wronged, so he didn't want to go out.

But Gu Mingzhang went there in person, and with Fourteen persuading him from the sidelines, the little guy soon obediently followed him home.

Shisi and Xiao Yan sent people outside the door, and after seeing the father and son walking away, they turned and walked back.

Xiao Yan said to Shishi: "Mother, Ah Lin asked me a question."

"what is the problem?"

"He asked me what I think if, mother, you will start a new family with others like Uncle Gu, and you may have a second or third child."

Shisi's footsteps stopped, Yinzhu and Xiao Yan also stopped.

"How did you answer?" She asked Xiao Yan.

"Hmm..." Xiao Yan pretended to be thinking on purpose, and answered after a while, "I said it depends on whether that person treats me well."

"If he treats mother well and treats me well at the same time, of course I will be very happy to accept him and treat him well at the same time."

After finishing speaking, his voice changed slightly: "If he is just being nice to mother, but doesn't like me that much... then I will persuade mother to think carefully, he doesn't like a smart child like me, it must be that There's something wrong with people's vision."

Hearing this, Shisi and Yinzhu couldn't help raising the corners of their mouths.

Both of them thought that Xiao Yan would say some sad words, but who knew he would say such an answer.

Fourteen smiled and took the little guy to his side: "Don't worry, I will never consider anyone who treats you badly."

"Hee hee, I knew mother would say that." Xiao Yan said, "So I also told Ah Lin that the latter situation is absolutely impossible."

"Our Ah Yan is smart." Fourteen held his little hand in his hand, leading him to continue walking.She couldn't help but feel a little proud. She raised her son well and was confident enough that she wouldn't worry about gain or loss because of a lack of security.

The conversation between the mother and son fell into Yinzhu's ears, which gave her another idea - neither of them had discussed the matter of the wife's marriage before, even though there were countless people who came to propose marriage during the period.

In the past, when women occasionally discussed lifelong events with their friends, most of them talked about being single, and never took the matter of marriage to heart.But now it seems that something has changed. When the two hypothesized just now, neither of them denied it.

Yin Zhu understood, silently suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and at the same time adjusted her mentality.Whether the lady chooses to be celibate, or chooses to marry.However, her life plan will not change, that is to stay with her for the rest of her life and serve her to the death.

"Master!" Xiao Yan hadn't seen Zuoqiu Yue all day and night because he wanted to be with Gu Lin, "Ah Lin has gone home, now you don't have to stay in the room all the time."

"I know." Zuo Qiuyue naturally showed up undisguisedly because she knew that Gu Lin had left.He looked at Shisi and asked, "Have all the social gatherings outside are over? Ah Yan said that you usually finish meeting the people you want to meet within seven days, and today happens to be the seventh day."

Knowing a lot, Fourteen Hearts said: How much did this little guy tell him?

"ended."

"Then what are you planning to do next, do you have anything else to do?" Although Zuo Qiuyue didn't know how big Shishi's business was, she knew it would definitely not be small.

Xiao Yan also said that she will be busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

"I've been busy all year, and now it's almost the end of the year. Shouldn't I set aside a few days to let myself relax?" , will also lose the meaning of being busy. Isn’t busying just for leisure?”

This argument, no wonder I became a Taoist priest with fourteen hearts.

But he was right, and she agreed with it.

"Not as busy as you said. Haven't I been resting for several months in a row, and I'm only a little busy these days."

"That's recuperating, so it can't be counted like that." And she wasn't really idle during that time. Every few days, ledgers were sent in for her to review, and there were various things for her to decide on almost every day. .

"You don't have to be busy from now until the Chinese New Year, right?" Zuo Qiuyue said without giving Shiteen a chance to argue, "Why don't you listen to my opinion and relax for a few days?"

……

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Laba porridge is stewed in a big pot in the morning, and the whole family sits together to share the food.Then, under Zuo Qiuyue's arrangement, in the large dining room where the boys ate, several cutting boards were connected together, and those who were idle started steaming flower cakes.

This is a folk Chinese New Year tradition. Flower cakes are steamed cakes that are made out of dough into various shapes and then steamed in a basket. There are flower shapes, and various naive animals such as rabbits, swallows, and hedgehogs.People also use various colored juices extracted from plants to color them in order to be cute and beautiful.

Fourteen knows this tradition, but their family's flower cakes have always been bought directly from outside when buying new year's goods, and they have never made it themselves.

Seeing several noodles made in porcelain basins, Shisi looked at Zuoqiu Yue in surprise, when did this person make noodles?

"I sent Xiao Wu to your cousin's house to ask how to make the flower cake, and your cousin made up the dough for us and Xiao Wu brought it back. Put it in a warm pot overnight, and at five o'clock It's ready." Zuo Qiuyue replied without waiting for Fourteen's question, "I got up at five o'clock and rubbed it again, then put it back, just after breakfast and started making it."

There are six servants who don't need to go out today, regardless of whether they can do it or not, all of them have been arrested for labor.In addition to Shisi, Xiao Yan, Zuoqiu Yue and Yin Zhu, a total of ten people gathered around the chopping board and began to make the first flower cake in their lives.

. Although Yin Zhu and Zuo Qiuyue had never made flower cakes, they knew how to cook, and they also knew how to make pasta, so they got started quickly and began to study how to make beautiful shapes.

And Shishi has the foundation of drawing blueprints, Zuoqiu Yue Danqing is proficient, and can make obviously unfamiliar but extraordinarily unique shapes for the first time.

Although Xiao Yan has no experience at all, he is smart, and he can learn while watching, and he can do quite well.

Others can't explain it all. They can knead people, but they can't knead dough. The hand that can hold both a knife and a sickle is the same as holding dough.

In short, when the first basket steamer is steamed in a pot, the quality of the products inside is clearly divided into three grades.Fourteen and Zuoqiuyue's elite group, Xiao Yan and Yin Zhu's moderate group, and the rest were totally indistinguishable.
