After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

In addition, the cake can be included in the old lady’s birthday party mainly because of its soft texture and popularity.

If the carrot flowers are just for looks and the old lady has to pick them out when she eats them, that would not be good.

It feels a bit tasteless.

When Qian Fengping heard this, she seemed to be thinking about something.

Carrots are not a rare thing, and those who can afford cakes will naturally not look down on these ordinary carrot carvings.

In other words, this thing cannot become a specialty and may even affect the taste?

"That's a question, why don't I try?"

Qian Fengping suddenly thought of something and simply collected the remaining carrots.

Fang Nanzhi and Fang Yin followed curiously, and two heads, one big and one small, leaned against the door frame to look inside.

The carrots are steamed in a bowl, then taken out and mashed into a paste.

Qian Fengping added flour and sugar and kneaded it into a beautiful orange-red dough.

She looked at the dough in her hand, pinched out a piece, rolled it into a ball, and carefully kneaded it in her hand.

After a while, a small flower made of flour took shape.

Qian Fengping made a comb and steamed them neatly in a pot.

There was still some dough left. Qian Fengping rolled it out and then said to the door, "Zhizhi, can you write a longevity character for aunt? It means longevity."

"Okay! I can write!" Fang Nanzhi nodded and came in happily.

She didn't even get a pen and paper, but wrote it down directly on the flour on the chopping board.

Qian Fengping touched her little head and praised: "Zhizhi writes very well."

Fang Nanzhi's eyes lit up when she was praised for her good handwriting for the first time, and she eagerly wanted to help her aunt.

Qian Fengping shaped the dough into the shape of the Chinese character "Shou" (longevity) on the chopping board and quickly finished it.

Put them together in a pot and steam them.

A quarter of an hour later, Qian Fengping thought it was about time, so she opened the lid and saw that the flowers had popped up, but they were still beautiful.

She took one out and couldn't help but shrink her fingertips from the heat.

I still took it out and placed it on the cake.

Fang Tong came over at some point, his eyes lighting up: "It looks good, and it's made of flour, so it's soft."

Fang Nanzhi nodded heavily: "Auntie also put sugar in it, it must be sweet!"

want to eat!

"Is Zhizhi greedy?"

How could Qian Fengping not understand the little girl? She took a small flower, broke it in half, and gave each to her second brother and Zhizhi.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Hello, sister-in-law! Give me some cookies!"

The big and the small grinned at the same time. After politely thanking them, Fang Yin took a bite. It was so hot that he gasped, but he couldn't bear to spit it out.

"It's hot, but delicious. It tastes like carrots."

Fang Yin yelled incoherently.

Qian Fengping nodded: "It seems that the taste is good, and it doesn't look out of place with the cake."

Fang Tong nodded. Now that he had the decoration, maybe he could really get the birthday banquet order.

"By the way, there's also this."

Qian Fengping seemed to remember something and took out the steamed "Shou" character from the grate.

She spread the words flat on the cake and decorated it with small flowers.

With this decoration, it looks even more beautiful.

"Mrs. Qian is really clever and skillful. This 'longevity' is even better. It will bring good luck."

Fang Tong was a knowledgeable scoundrel who knew that the masters and mistresses of wealthy families wanted to be auspicious in everything they did.

In other words, the richer you are, the more you care about this thing.

They will definitely like this longevity cake!

Qian Fengping's ears turned slightly red after being praised so directly.

The matter was settled. As the sky gradually darkened, the work of making cakes and roasted chestnuts was completed.

Tiezhu and the other two were about to leave after finishing their work. They had already eaten several meals with the third brother, so they couldn't stay any longer.

"Third brother, do we still need to go to the county town tomorrow? What if that fat guy is not convinced and wants to get back at us..." Erwa was a little worried.

"No need, he's a coward. Besides, Manager Zhao doesn't look like a person who just sits there and does nothing." Fang Tong waved his hand.

He just didn't believe that Manager Zhao would not care about the uncle and nephew of the Song family.

After seeing off the few people, Fang Tong closed the door.

After dinner, the family all went to the west room and started counting the accounts.

As promised, Fang Nanzhi gave her second uncle half a bowl of sweet milk, and the two of them sat aside obediently and drank the milk.

"The income is all there. Just count it. How much did you spend harvesting chestnuts today?"

"Five cents a catty, and I collected a total of 108 catties, with an extra four ounces, which I calculated at two cents."

Qian Fengping had naturally calculated what he had done.

We can harvest 108 kilograms a day, which is not a small amount.

Fang Tong frowned in thought, tapping his fingers on the table.

The owner of Qingfeng Tower just said today that he wants more chestnuts, which shows that sales are pretty good.

"It cost a total of 542 coins to collect these chestnuts." Qin Yan was very good at math and gave the result.

He put down the pen in his hand and leaned back in his wheelchair: "These chestnuts won't spoil easily if left alone, so why not continue to harvest them? As long as the villagers give them to us, we'll take them all."

"After all, there are only a limited number of chestnuts on this mountain. If we don't hurry and harvest more, I'm afraid this business will be gone by winter."

"That's right." Fang Tong thought it made sense and nodded.

They need to stock up on chestnuts for the winter.

"Okay, then continue collecting."

Everyone else has no objection, so it’s settled.

The moon was high in the sky, and the family went back to their rooms to rest after finishing their work.

Fang Tong hadn't gone to bed so early for a long time. He was injured and tired, so he lay on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.

Then he started snoring so loudly that it was deafening.

But his second brother was unwilling to be left behind and started snoring too.

The two people's snoring sounds were like a competition, one after another. Fang Nanzhi, who was lying beside them, frowned in his sleep.

She grabbed the pillow with one hand and covered her head with it, her little face wrinkled into a ball.

After twisting around on the kang for a while, Fang Nanzhi was finally woken up and sat up with his messy hair.

She was sleepy and had a droopy face. She was stunned for a while.

After realizing what was happening, the little guy looked at his father and second uncle with resentment.

Don’t let the children sleep!

The little girl pouted and sulked with her hands across her chest.

[Ding Dong! The host's reward has been delivered, please check it! ]

The system's voice suddenly sounded.

Fang Nanzhi was a little confused. What kind of reward was it?

Before I could ask, I heard the sound of wooden boards colliding in the yard.

She was startled and stuck her head out of the window. With the help of moonlight, she saw that the gate of Qin's house was broken. A fat wild boar was standing there grunting, looking around with its eyes as big as green beans, as if looking for its next target.

"What happened?"

Fang Tong was awakened by the sound and sat up. Are the victims coming again?

Fang Yin also woke up, rubbing his eyes and not reacting.

"Dad, pig!"

Fang Nanzhi finally came back to his senses, his face slightly pale as he pointed out the window.
