"Xiaoshan, brother, please let me let you go, I won't laugh at you for wetting the bed."

Xu Yi snorted arrogantly, and then reluctantly said: "Forget it, let you go, if you laugh at me again, I will let my brother-in-law beat you up."

Brother Cao stuck his head out of the greenhouse and asked the brothers to have lunch.

Qin Hao slapped the remaining snow on the two brothers' clothes vigorously, snorted to clean the particles from their faces and heads, and then pushed the two brothers into the greenhouse.

"Uncle, give the two boys some hot water, they failed miserably in the snowball fight, and they haven't recovered yet."

Xu Hua and Xu Wei's faces turned red with anger, their skills were not as good as theirs, so they had no choice but to admit it.

Xu Yi slapped Qin Hao hard, a little annoyed: "I don't know how bad it is, what if I break it."

"I know it in my heart. Don't worry about the things between men." Qin Hao stroked the hair of Xu Hua and Xu Wei, and didn't stop until the hair of the two boys blew up.

Xu Wei said weakly: "Brother, don't worry about it. Your brother doesn't understand the battle between us and my brother-in-law."

Xu Yi's kindness was not rewarded, so she pinched Xu You's ear angrily, turned her head, and didn't bother to pay attention to these two wretched brothers.

Everyone exhausted their energy and had a very delicious lunch. The hot noodle soup was very smooth. After a few sips, half a bowl went down. The noodle soup was covered with a thin layer of stewed beef, a few green onions and coriander, and it smelled special. fragrant.

The soup is full, and the family is roasting in the greenhouse, chatting a few words from time to time, enjoying this rare free time.

"It will be the new year in two days." Uncle sighed that the time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Qin Hao has been in Xujia Village for half a year.

"24 to worship the kitchen god, 25 to grind tofu, 26 to cut pork, 27 to wash away guilt, and 28 to make facial hair." Xu Shan shook his head and chanted, year after year, the customs are the same.

Qin Hao used to celebrate the New Year at home, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He sat down to have a warm reunion dinner together on New Year's Eve, and a year was considered complete.

"Let's eat hot pot on New Year's Eve, and then have a meal of big dumplings."

Hearing Qin Hao say it many times, he never ate it. The whole family was a little curious about how delicious hot pot would be.

"Xu Yi's birthday is also Xu Yi's birthday." Xu Yi patted Xu Wei's head. The child had a young birthday. He said that he was 14 years old, but he was actually not yet full.

"Then let Xiaoyou have a good celebration at that time. Brother, think of a way, can I make you a birthday cake from my hometown." Qin Hao thought that there are still some blue bricks in the house, and it would not be troublesome to build a simple oven.

"Isn't it made of dough for birthday peaches and birthday cakes?" Uncle and Xu Yi were very curious, and had never heard of birthday cakes.

Qin Hao smiled and let it go: "Wait for two more days, and you will know."

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, the sky was bright, Qin Hao got up from the bed like a carp, glanced at Xu Yi who was sleeping soundly, couldn't help pinching his little nose, and muttered: "Little white pig! "

After practicing boxing and running in the yard, he sweated profusely. Qin Hao hurriedly took a hot bath, feeling refreshed and relaxed. He put on some convenient shorts, squatted in front of a pile of blue bricks, and began to think.

Qin Hao once saw a round-arched oven in an overseas pizzeria, which was built with bricks and clay. The pizza, bread, and cakes in the store were all made with this oven.

The handmade oven is the signboard of this store. Qin Hao found it very interesting. After talking with the boss for a long time, the boss told him the method and know-how of building an oven without hesitation, and suggested that he could build one when he returned to China.

"I didn't expect to build an oven in Xujia Village." Qin Hao muttered softly and laughed silently. Things are unpredictable.

Part of the bricks were divided into two and stacked in one place. The airtightness and heat preservation of the arched oven made of half a brick are much better.

Qin Hao first built a base with blue bricks, which reached about the waist, and began to build an arched belly with half of the bricks. The distance between the center point of each brick and the center point of the base should be the same to ensure that the arch is as round as possible. When the heat is even.

"Brother, let's help." Xu Hua and Xu Wei also got up, squatting beside Qin Hao with great interest, watching Qin Hao skillfully work as a plasterer's buddy.

"Xu Hua, you control this stick. Xu Wei turns his head according to the position of the stick. I'll knock the bricks tightly."

Qin Hao quickly assigned tasks to the two of them. The oven was built a bit too big, and they really needed help.

With the addition of the two boys, the speed of bricklaying was faster than the naked eye. In half an hour, the furnace belly was completed, and the chimney was almost finished.

"Xu Hua, Xu Er, go, find some firewood, and dry the oven." Qin Hao wiped off the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, watching with satisfaction that the oven is about to take shape, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

The rest of the family gathered around, looking curiously at the oven Qin Hao was talking about, um, it didn't look like anything, but he was still muttering with great interest, and everyone got along very well with chicken and duck feet.

Qin Hao clapped his hands and signaled the family to calm down: "The oven is ready, Xiaoyi and I try to make some food, you go back to the greenhouse and wait, don't get in the way here."

According to Qin Hao's instructions, Xu Yi added eggs, salt and sugar to the flour, kneaded the dough, and rested the dough. He took a smoked chicken and some green and red peppers, washed and cut them into pieces, and mixed them with the meat sauce.

Qin Hao boiled milk flakes in a small pot, added white vinegar in one pot to make dry cheese, and added eggs, oil, and sugar in the other pot to make cream. After stumbling, he finally made the finished product. Qin Hao ate a little, and the taste was quite authentic.

The oven was ignited and heated up. A plate of bread and a plate of smoked chicken pizza were baked. The couple stood in front of the oven, watching the dough expand and become golden and soft, and the unique aroma of baking overflowed.

Xu Yi's Ruifeng eyes were wide open, greedily inhaling the fragrance in the air, and said intoxicated: "Brother Hao, it's so sweet, I feel happy when I smell it, and my mood immediately improves."

"Wait a little longer, and you will feel happier when you eat it." The baked food is fragrant and sweet, and the high calorie content naturally makes people happy. Qin Hao is not surprised at Xu Yi's description.

Qin Hao stopped adding firewood, and when the fire gradually extinguished, he used a wooden stand to clamp out the hot iron pan. Xu Yi held the wet cotton cloth and brought the baked bread and pizza into the greenhouse.

Uncle Wang had already soaked the milk, and the children stretched their necks to wait for my brother-in-law's new food. As soon as Xu Yi entered the room, he stood up automatically. Brother Cao ran over to pick up the iron plate in Xu Yi's hand, but he Dodge lightly.

"Be careful, it's hot, you put some clean old cotton clothes on the table, and I'll put the iron plate." Xu Yi was afraid that the hot iron plate would burn the table, so he ordered Brother Cao to find something to cushion it.

"Brother, what is this? It smells so good." The three brothers of the Xu family leaned over to look at the iron plate, drooling greedily.

"The whole piece is called pizza, and these fat ones are bread. I made it with your brother-in-law. It's amazing."

"Uncle, use a knife to cut the pizza and share it with everyone." Xu Yi put the iron plate on the table, picked up the water glass and took a big gulp, took another glass of warm water and ran out to feed Qin Hao.

Qin Hao is putting silver charcoal into the oven to maintain the temperature in the oven, and will make a birthday cake in the morning.

"Brother Hao, drink some water, come in and have breakfast, everyone is waiting for you." Xu Yi brought the water to Qin Hao's mouth, and wiped Qin Hao's sweat with a handkerchief in one hand. Throat dried up in a few minutes.

As expected, the pizza and bread received unanimous praise from everyone, especially the little ones, who licked their fingers so much. If the uncle hadn't forcibly held Xu Shan down, the little guys' stomachs would explode.

Uncle and Xu Yi like soft bread, which tastes different from steamed stuffed buns, but they are equally delicious. It is sweet and fragrant with milk, and it is very comfortable to eat.

Xu Shan was lying in his uncle's arms, looking at the remaining pizza on the plate reluctantly, and said enviously: "Wow, second brother, you are so happy, you can eat pizza and bread on your birthday, brother-in-law and brother will still eat it." Make you a birthday cake."

"You eat more than the second brother, what's there to envy." Xu Yi pinched Xu Shan's fat face angrily, what a little white-eyed wolf.

Xu Shan rolled her eyes, touched her belly, and hiccupped, "I counted just now, the second elder brother ate the most, and Hua elder brother, I am too young, ranked third."

It made everyone laugh out loud, this little clever ghost is really worrying.

"Xiaoyi, let's go bake a cake and put it outside to freeze it for a better taste. Let's celebrate Xu Wei's birthday together at noon."

"Uncle will take everyone to sacrifice to the Kitchen God in the afternoon, and the whole family has to sweep the dust. There is no time." Qin Hao dragged Xu Yi's hand and whispered beside him.

Xu Yi nodded, and followed Qin Hao out of the warm room. Qin Hao handed Xu Yi the cream he had made before, and asked him to stir it in one direction with chopsticks to make cream flowers.

Thanks to the 20 years of single life, Qin Hao has a lot of free time, followed his wife, learned Chinese and Western food, Qin Hao took out eggs, oil and flour, and started to make cake embryos.

Put the finished cake into the oven, take it out after two sticks of incense, golden and fragrant, Qin Hao broke off a small piece and stuffed it into Xu Yi's mouth, Xu Yi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Brother Hao, the cake is soft , it’s different from bread, it’s really delicious.”

"There are no more fruits at home, otherwise you can put some more fruits." Qin Hao has a lot of fruits in his space, but it is inconvenient to take them out to eat.

Xu Yi secretly ate some cake fragments, and suggested: "I made a few jars of jam from the fruit before, can I put it on the cake?

"Jam is also fine, just take a jar."

Xu Yi hurriedly brought out a small jar of cherry sauce from the kitchen. Qin Hao dipped a little bit of it into his mouth with his chopsticks. The strong fruity aroma filled his mouth and nose, and he couldn't help giving Xu Yi a thumbs up: "Xiaoyi, what are you doing?" The jam is delicious."

"The cherries brought back by Brother Hao are of good quality, so the sauce I made will taste better." Xu Yi dug a full spoonful with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth. It was sweet and delicious when soaked in water.

Qin Hao cut the cake embryo crosswise from the middle, spread cream and jam on the interlayer, and spread the cream evenly until the whole cake was covered with cream.

Frame flowers on the top of the cake to make a simple shape, write the four words "Happy Birthday" with jam, and a simple birthday cake is completed. Xu Yi licks the remaining cream flowers, and Qin Hao's eyes are full of admiration.

"Brother Hao, your cooking looks so good that you can't bear to eat it."
