Back to the age: three-year-old cute baby becomes a group pet

Chapter 56 Peppermint Tea

"But," Chao Yun hesitated, "I don't know where to buy the small food like rice cracker candy."

"It depends on yourself. Once you are familiar with running, you will be able to pay attention and find the way."

"Okay!" Chaoyun nodded vigorously, and the little girl gave the direction, and she wanted to be more courageous.

After accompanying her mother to put the eggs into the earthen jar, and then put them on the briquettes stove, Cheng Li came out of the kitchen to watch Uncle Gouging out holes in the big earthen jar.

This work is considered delicate work, which requires both strength and skill.

The big earthen jar has been soaked in water overnight, so it is very difficult to dig it out, mainly because of the first blow to open the eyes.

"Third uncle is not afraid, if it breaks, buy another one, or buy a defective product from the warehouse."

With the encouragement of his little niece, Cheng Shanghu relaxed his mind and opened a small eye at once. He quickly put the big crock into the water to soak the area around the eye.

Cheng Li also let go of her nervous heart, it seems that it can be done once.

While Cheng Shanghu continued to goug the hole, Cheng Wen'an came back with his elder sister carrying a bundle of firewood, and Cheng Li moved a small bench for her elder brother and elder sister to sit down, "Where is the second sister?"

"Sister Hexian and the others are behind!"

"The sun is always high, I will pick it up in the evening."

"Well, listen to my sister." Cheng Ping sat down on the small bench brought by my sister and rested, "How is our mother's boiled eggs? I can smell the aroma."

"It has to be cooked for a while. The aroma is on the surface, but it will take a long time to absorb the flavor inside. In the afternoon, we can taste the taste."

"It's all money!" Cheng Ping couldn't bear it when he heard it.

"Only after you taste it can you know whether it tastes good or not, and then you can know whether it can be sold, right?"

"Little sister is right." Cheng Ping agreed, and got up to fetch water to wash her face. The weather was getting hotter and hotter.

Cheng Yan carried firewood directly into the kitchen because she could smell the aroma, like stewed pork.

It was a long time before she came out, her face was covered with sweat, and even the withered yellow hair on her head was wet with sweat, "It smells so good!"

"Second Sister?" Cheng Li was surprised, "You didn't come out after smelling enough by the stove, did you?"

"Yes, it's too hot, otherwise I can smell it for a while."

Cheng Li squatted down to rub the towel for the second sister in distress, Cheng Ping stopped the younger sister, "I'll do it."

He gave the wet towel to the second sister, and said a few words, "I'm not afraid of heatstroke, doesn't it smell the same outside?"

"It's different, it's more fragrant inside." Cheng Yan wiped her sweat and grinned to the back of her ears.

"Second sister, you can try one in the afternoon." Cheng Li hurriedly told the silly second sister not to go in and smell it again.

"Really?"

"Really!" Cheng Li felt that she saw a green light in the eyes of the second sister.

"That's great." Cheng Yan threw the towel into the clay basin on the ground, and hugged the little girl in circles.

Cheng Wen'an hurried up to protect her, "Put it down, you'll get dizzy after spinning twice by yourself, do you want to fall to my little sister?"

Then, Cheng Li, who was attacked by surprise, felt herself being supported by her elder brother, and saw her second sister who let go of her fainted for half a circle and then fell to the ground.

"Hahaha, Second Sister," Cheng Li squatted next to Second Sister, "How does it feel to be dizzy?"

"It's very comfortable, it feels like floating in the air." Cheng Yan didn't feel ashamed at all, but was excited because she could eat a boiled egg in the afternoon.

"Well, in the future, if our mother's business continues for a long time, we will eat all the hard-boiled eggs, and you will have enough."

"Impossible! In this life, I can't eat enough."

"Hey," Cheng Li smiled funny, "Second Sister, you have to remember this sentence well."

Cheng Yan raised her hand and poked the little girl's dimple, "You mean one day?"

"Yes! When you grow up to the age of your parents, it will be almost the same."

"Is there really such a happy time? Then let me have enough, I'm not afraid!"

Stupid second sister!
Cheng Li stretched out her hand, "Get up."

"You can't pull me, I'll get up by myself." Cheng Yan turned over and got up, and continued to wash her hands and face in the earthen basin.

Cheng Xian and Cheng Mei, who came back with Cheng Yan, also sat at the door of the south room to enjoy the cool after scrubbing. Hearing what the little cousin said, the two looked at each other and pretended not to hear it. Anyway, others would think that the little cousin said What is a lie is a joke.

The time was almost up, Chaoyun put the crock on the wooden board, and boiled water in a stainless steel pot, she wanted to try making mint tea.

The chiseling work on Chengshang Lake went very smoothly. After chiseling, the large earthen pot was placed in the shade to dry.

Hearing what my little niece said, I thinned a section of the bamboo tube that was thicker than a thumb, and this section was to be stuffed into the big crock.

Then insert two or three centimeters of bamboo tubes into the mouth of the exposed bamboo tubes inside the crock, and the two or three centimeters of bamboo tubes are wrapped in gauze for filtering.

Cheng Shanghu gestured with the cut bamboo pipe, "How should I fix it in the big earthen jar?"

"Use the glue used by a carpenter to make a wooden basin, and then make a bamboo ring that fits into the bamboo tube as a nut, and use the same glue in the middle."

"Can it work?" Cheng Shanghu was not at ease about the carpenter's glue, because there are many wooden tubs and barrels leaking.

"do not know."

"Then try it. If it doesn't work, I'll drill a small hole in the bamboo tube, thread a piece of cotton thread, pull out the big crock and put it on the basket. The bamboo tube won't fall off even if it's loose."

"Yes, that's right," Cheng Li nodded her bald head, "Three cobblers will surpass Zhuge Liang, and our two uncles and nephews will surpass Zhuge Liang."

"You are so beautiful." Cheng Shanghu couldn't help laughing at the little niece's words.

Because there was no container for boiling mint water, Chaoyun made it. Although it was an experiment today, but the weather was hot and there were many children in the house, she also brewed four or five mint leaves, added a pinch of tea foam, and wrapped them into small bags with gauze .

After brewing in boiling water, cover the lid and let it sit for more than ten minutes. After uncovering the lid and letting it warm, call the little girl to come and taste the taste.

Cheng Li ran in, "Mom, just give it a try for big brothers and big sisters, the third uncle is also troubled."

"You try first."

Cheng Li took a sip from the bowl handed by her mother. The warm tea had a hint of coolness and a hint of bitterness from the tea leaves.

"Well, I understand, tea is expensive, this tea is thirst-quenching and refreshing, not empty."

"People who are physically weak should not drink too much, you only sell a bowl to others."

"Okay," Chao Yun touched the little girl's bald head, "I know the coldness of mint, let your elder brother come in and bring your third uncle a bowl."

"I can."

"No! In case you drop my bowl."

"Okay! I don't have bowls that matter."

"Naughty, go quickly."

Cheng Wen'an heard that he was the fastest runner to test the tea for his mother, and Cheng Ping and Cheng Yan also quickly went to the kitchen.

Soon, Cheng Wen'an came out with a bowl of water, "Third Uncle, drink some tea, try this mint tea, it's cool in nature, drink a little first to see if you can accept it."

"Okay," Cheng Shanghu put down the tools in his hand, took the bowl brought by his nephew, took a sip, and felt it carefully, "Well, drinking this tea is very comfortable today. Your mother plans to sell tea?"

"My mother said that eating eggs made her choke, and it was hot, so she brought some tea for sale."

"Yes, it sounds very suitable for the pier side. It happens that your mother is familiar with it there, and it may open up the situation."

"I hope my mother's business will be good." Cheng Wen'an didn't understand these things, but he really hoped that there would be another way for the family to earn money.
