I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 279

Zhou Chenyu carefully looked at the two pastry puffs in his hand. If what she made could be rated as passing, then what she made in Late Autumn would be rated as excellent or above.She pinched Wanqiu's nose and said, "Oh, where can I find a girl as clever as you?"

When Zhou Wanqiu saw the white flour in her hand, he was so frightened that he hid next to Li Xiuju.

Listening to the noisy laughter of the two girls, Li Xiuju smiled and wrapped two more puff pastry corners. Then she noticed Baoyu, who had his back to them and said nothing, "Baoyu, take some pieces of dough over here. Is it done?"

Baoyu said nothing.

Li Xiuju frowned strangely, "Baoyu, what are you doing behind our backs?"

Baoyu hurriedly picked up what he had made, "It's coming, it's coming."

Zhou Chenyu and Wan Qiu looked over at the same time, and saw Baoyu turning around slyly, holding a rooster, rabbit, tortoise and little duck made of dough in his hands, and grinned:
"Mom, sister, look at what I made."

Li Xiuju smiled helplessly.

"Hey, don't say it, don't say it, these little animals are really alive." Zhou Chenyu took it and looked at it.

Wan Qiu leaned over, touched the turtle's tail lightly with her fingertips, and teased: "Sister, this little tail will definitely explode when you put it in the oil pan."

"That's true." Zhou Chenyu reacted and turned his head to look at Baoyu, "It's a good idea but not useful."

"Then I like it too." Baoyu was still guarding these gadgets as if they were treasures. "We can get one for each of these four. Seeing how hard I worked, you must give it to me. It’s over.”

Li Xiuju caught a glimpse of him hiding in the corner and knew that he was doing these things secretly. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Baoyu, just make these, don't mess around later. You turtle's belly is full of dough, how can you explode it?" Is the ground familiar?"

"Okay, I won't mess around anymore." Although Baoyu promised, he started to make a few puff pastry corners and found it boring, so he picked up a pile of leftover dough and hid in a corner to tinker with his little ones. Animals go.

The four of them gathered around the table for more than half an hour and finally made a large round dustpan puff pastry.

Zhou Chenyu helped Li Xiuju bring the puff pastry to the kitchen. The hot oil at the bottom of the pot had already begun to bubble.

Li Xiuju picked up the soft and waxy puff pastry corners and said, "Shen Yu, like this, slowly put down these puff pastry corners one by one along the edge of the pot."

"Okay." Zhou Chenyu followed her old man's instructions and put the puff pastry into the oil pan. Hot bubbles immediately appeared around the puff pastry that sank to the bottom of the pot.

More than 20 puff pastry corners were fried in the pan. Li Xiuju took a bamboo-handled slotted spoon and scooped them into the hot oil, trying not to let them stick together.

Li Xiuju originally only asked Wanqiu and Baoyu to clean up the table and then let them go back to the room to rest. But after the two little guys finished doing that, they followed them into the kitchen.

Zhou Chenyu and Li Xiuju stood in front of the stove, and they squatted behind them to watch the fire.

Huangdou was lying in the yard guarding the door. Waves of cold wind blew through the yard, and the sounds of passers-by came from the kitchen window from time to time.

The four of them were crowded in the small but hot kitchen, and everyone's face was filled with red firelight.

Not long after, the puff pastry that Zhou Chenyu put down first floated up from the bottom of the pot, and was fried from white to golden brown at first.

Li Xiuju picked it up, looked closely at it several times, poked it a few times with chopsticks, and nodded: "These must be familiar."

"Is it ready?" Baoyu and Wanqiu were already squatting on the dustpan that had been filled with rice grains in advance. Li Xiuju fished it out, and their eyes were fixed on the golden puff pastry corners, watching them fall on the white rice.Baoyu reached out to take it, but Li Xiuju quickly patted his hand and said, "This puff pastry has just come out of the pan, so you can't eat it yet. Let it cool down for a while before eating."

"Oh." Baoyu retracted his hand silently, "I won't eat, I'll just take a look."

Zhou Chenyu watched Li Xiuju turn around and glanced towards them from the corner of his eye.As soon as the old lady turned around, Baoyu immediately reached for the pastry horns, quickly took two of them like a thief, and shared them with Wan Qiu.

Zhou Chenyu looked at him helplessly and quickly filled the empty space in the oil pan.

After Baoyu got the puff pastry, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth. While the oil in the frying pan was crackling, he quickly chewed a few mouthfuls, making a crunching sound.

Late Qiu was not so courageous, so he held it in his hand for a while and then silently put the puff pastry back.

Baoyu thought that this round of operation was perfect. Li Xiuju scooped up the newly fished puff pastry and turned around. She looked at him and smiled with a headache: "Baoyu, Baoyu, this puff pastry has just come out of the pan. You can eat it immediately. You are not afraid of tomorrow." Do you have a sore throat?"

"Mom, since my father got sick, I haven't eaten your pastry puffs for several years. I'm so greedy." Baoyu moved Zhou Wenbin out, and Li Xiuju suddenly started scolding him.

Baoyu escaped, took another one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhou Chenyu looked at him and pulled up his arm, "Come on, come on, I see you are so idle, I will change places with you, and you can put the puff pastry."

Baoyu ate a few to satisfy his craving. He had something to do and said, "Come as soon as you come."

Zhou Chenyu sat at his seat, picked out the two puff pastry corners that were dried out first, and handed one to Wan Qiu, "Here, have a try."

"Thank you, sister." Zhou Wanqiu took the puff pastry from Zhou Chenyu with both hands and bit into half of it. The peanuts inside broke out. She quickly picked it up and ate it. "Well, it turns out that the puff pastry tastes like this. It's really delicious." tasty."

Zhou Chenyu smiled, took the puff pastry corner that was still warm in his hand, and stuffed it directly into his mouth. It was crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, with the aroma of fried peanuts and sesame seeds. The taste was not very novel, but it was There is a kind of magic that makes you want to eat another after eating one.

She ate three of them in a row, fearing she would get angry, so she didn't dare to touch them again, so she stood up and took over the work from Li Xiuju.

Baoyu saw that the pastry horns in the dustpan had almost been fried to a crisp. He quickly ran back to the main room and moved the few small animal-shaped pastry horns he had carefully saved into the kitchen. He reminded her in a blaring voice, "Sister, These are my treasures, you have to be careful."

Zhou Chenyu looked at him as if he were a fool. He didn't move at all and just let him put those treasures into the oil pan.

Wan Qiu looked at his huge formation and couldn't help but stand up, "Sister, how did these little things explode?"

"I don't think it's good." Zhou Chenyu glanced at the bottom of the pot and handed the colander to Baoyu who looked disbelieving, "Master, how about you fish it out yourself?"

"Just fish it out." Baoyu hummed and took the colander and fished it out expectantly. The moment he fished it out, his smile suddenly froze.

Zhou Chenyu looked at Baoyu's disappointed expression, then looked at the snake-like and indescribable thing in the colander, and glanced at him, "Master, are you going to stop messing around in the future?"

Li Xiuju roughly guessed the result and raised her head, "Baoyu, what happened to the tiger you wanted to feed your mother?"

Wan Qiu covered her smile and turned back, pointing at the stuff in the colander, "Mother, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it."

Baoyu: "..."
