After officially signing the contract, Mr. Wang said goodbye. It was pointless to stay here anyway, and it would only leave him sad.

Mr. Sun went back to a restaurant with them. Xu Si dictated the recipe and Shen Anyi wrote it down. From then on, the Ju Xia Fan business came to an end.

"Then I'll leave first. If there is anything, I'll come here to discuss it with you." Master Sun put away the prescription and said with satisfaction.

"Okay," Xu Si was also very happy. He was very tired from making the sauce every day recently. Others also had their own responsibilities to do and could not help much.

Now he can finally take a break. Xu Si feels that the sky is bluer and the trees are full of vitality. He feels extremely relaxed.

Although such a great thing was accomplished, we still hadn’t had dinner when we returned.

Just after reporting the progress to Lou Yuexin and the others in the kitchen, Qinghuan brought the bowl of black medicine and handed it to her.

"Second sister-in-law, I kept it wrapped in something after I cooked it. It's warm now and just right for eating."

"Thank you Qinghuan," Xu Si smiled bitterly and drank the even more bitter medicine.

His whole face was wrinkled, and he squeezed his eyes hard before it relaxed.

Seeing that everyone was busy with their own things, Xu Si looked around the kitchen and finally stopped at the cabinet where the ham was kept.

Last time I bought ham, I remember I also bought some other things. An Yu should have put them together.

Opening the cabinet, Xu Si found the Hericium erinaceus in a basket in the corner of the second floor and took it out.

What we bought before were dried Hericium erinaceus, each one was very big. Anyway, it didn’t look like a hericium to her and she couldn’t connect the dots at all. Could it be that she has lost her imagination as she grew up?

She waved to Qing Huan and Qining who were sitting nearby, "Come and take a look, what does this mushroom look like?"

The two stood up and walked closer. Qi Ning stood on tiptoe and stared at it carefully for a while before hesitantly saying, "Like a hedgehog?"

Qinghuan kept her mouth tightly shut, she felt like it didn't look like anything.

Lou Yuexin couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "Then why not rename it Hedgehog Mushroom?"

"This hedgehog mushroom doesn't sound as nice as the hericium," Xu Si shook his head, but this is not important.

"So what are you going to do with it? Make soup or stir-fry?" Lou Yuexin asked casually, recalling the Hericium erinaceus dishes she had eaten before.

"I'm going to make some Hericium erinaceus cookies," Xu Si chuckled.

When she bought it, the first thing that came to her mind when she heard about Hericium erinaceus was Hericium erinaceus biscuits.

Most people think that it can nourish the stomach and is relatively healthy, but in fact the content of Hericium erinaceus is very small and the effect it can play is minimal.

But the taste is still good. The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, so I can use it as a holiday gift, focusing on its uniqueness.

"Second aunt, I'll help you," Qi Ning's eyes lit up slightly when he heard the word "biscuit".

Sometimes when he was bored, he would sit in the store and watch the endless stream of customers of all kinds.

Among them, there would naturally be children of about his age, holding some food in their hands, which were nothing more than candied haws, sugar paintings, candied fruits, cakes, etc., which his second aunt would make for him. He could also eat a lot of things that he couldn't buy outside. When compared, he felt so happy.

Xu Si touched his little head and said, "Okay."

It's a good thing that the child has this intention and should do whatever he can. Su Jinyue and his wife also focus on cultivating Qi Ning's hands-on ability and independence.

Some parents discourage their children when they want to help when they are young, and then accuse their children of being unfilial when their children grow up and refuse to help. That is really a problem.

A basket of Hericium erinaceus may look like a lot, but when they are piled together, there are gaps in the middle, so there are actually only about 20 of them.

Xu Si simply used them all, soaking them in water and tearing them into small pieces. Soon the water turned yellow.

Rinse repeatedly with warm water until the water runs clear, then squeeze out the moisture.

Spread it on a baking tray and bake it in a clay kiln at low temperature.

After being baked, the size of the Hericium erinaceus has shrunk a lot and it has a faint fragrance.

First, take a small portion and put it into an unused garlic mortar. Use a stone pestle to smash it vigorously, then grind it slowly.

Although this job is a bit boring, it is a good way to cultivate patience.

After the garlic in the mortar is ground, grind the remaining Hericium erinaceus into powder one by one, sift them with gauze, and put them into a porcelain jar.

Soften the butter in advance, add white sugar and beat with a whisk, add some egg liquid from time to time, and after mixing evenly, pour in flour and Hericium erinaceus powder, add milk, a little salt, and an appropriate amount of baking soda to knead into dough, and set aside to rise for 10 minutes.

Sprinkle some corn starch on the chopping board to prevent sticking, take out the dough and roll it into a sheet, and use a circle-shaped mold to press out the shape on it.

Xu Si pressed twice and then rested. The little guy was very interested in this. After putting the mold on, he put his hands together and applied force to make sure it was pressed firmly before moving on to the next one.

Seeing that Qi Ning had almost finished pressing the cake, Xu Si found a curved board and carved some patterns on the cake.

Qing Huan watched from the side, somewhat curiously, "Second sister-in-law, is it okay not to carve this pattern?"

It looks quite troublesome.

"The cookies baked this way will be smoother," Xu Si paused to explain.

But this is just one of the reasons. The main reason is that she thinks it is normal to have patterns on the Hericium erinaceus biscuits, even if she has nothing to do.

"Is that so? Then I'll join in," Qinghuan said, and found a similar board to start carving together.

After finishing everything, the three of them moved the round cakes to the baking tray and put them into the preheated clay kiln.

After half an hour, take the cookies out of the kiln to cool and continue baking the next batch.

Xu Si used about half of the Hericium erinaceus powder and finally made 215 small cookies.

When you break the baked cookies open, you can see the fine holes inside. They taste fragrant, crispy and crunchy.

It looked like a lot, but there were also many people to share it with, and she had no idea if it was enough.

Mr. Wang's family, Mr. Sun's family, Uncle Qian, Uncle Yang, Mr. Qian, Uncle Li, the tavern owner, Aunt Zhao, Boss Zhou, and Shopkeeper Bai, all of them need to be sent off.

Although I don't have many connections with some of these people, if I don't build relationships with them in advance, it would be too embarrassing to build relationships with them if I need help with something in the future.

Anyway, the cost of doing it yourself is not that high, so it is better to be thoughtful.

Xu Si couldn't help but sigh. She clearly still thought of herself as a child, yet she had to consider all these social conventions.

By the time we had lunch, the biscuits were almost dry.

Xu Si decided to give 20 yuan to each family and keep the rest for his own family to try. He would then make some whole-wheat noodles for his family to eat tomorrow.

Although whole wheat products taste a bit rough, they have a unique taste when made into biscuits and feel healthier.

Cut some wax paper, and when everyone is taking a break and chatting, wrap two biscuits together and put them neatly in a basket for later use.

He also asked Shen Anyi to order 10 gift boxes so that he could put the gifts in them and give them away as gifts.
