《[BL] Raising children in Ancient County Town》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Qiao Shen planned to make mooncakes today, so he didn't go out to sell jelly again today.
This made Xiao Changle anxious. Xiao Changle was at an active age. He was happy to go out with his dad every day. As soon as the holiday was off today, he couldn't stay idle and pulled Qiao Shen to the gate of the courtyard.
"Daddy won't go out today." Qiao Shen carried him back.
Xiao Changle talked about it again. Seeing that his father was not going, he twisted his small body and went to the courtyard door.
"Then you play here by yourself, daddy will make mooncakes for you to eat." Qiao Shen locked the gate of the courtyard with the latch, and he patted it with his little hand.
My little hands were sore. Seeing that Dad still didn't come to open the door, he simply sat at the door, poking at the ants on the ground with his fat little finger.
It’s just that I’m yelling dad from time to time, and the voice is long: "Da~Da~"
.Qiao Shen surreptitiously watched that he stopped making trouble, and was sure he could not get out of the yard, so he went back to make mooncakes, and the background music made a bang.
Qiao Shen poured the soaked lotus seeds into a large stone mortar and ground them into mud with a stone pestle. Then start the pot and heat the oil, pour the sugar, and when the sugar melts, pour the lotus seed puree into the pan and stir-fry on low heat. When the lotus seed puree becomes thick, the lotus seed puree is ready.
Take the salted egg yolk, wash off the salt on the surface, first wrap the egg yolk with lotus seed paste, then wrap the lotus seed paste with dough wrapper, and finally roll it into a ball, and put it in the oven for baking sesame seeds.
Looking at the moon cakes he made, Qiao Shen wanted to laugh a little. Because there is no mold, the baked mooncakes look like egg yolk cakes, but they taste very good. After all, they are made of pure natural ingredients.
However, the shape does not affect its taste, the dough is baked softly, and the lotus seed paste is delicate and sweet. .Xiao Changle was very supportive, and even reached out after eating one, he was distracted by Qiao Shen's coaxing to eat lunch. Mooncakes are foods with heavy oil and sugar. Children who eat too much are prone to gastrointestinal stagnation.

After dinner, Xiao Changle refused to take a nap and went out.
"Where are you going, you can't be surrounded by such a big yard?" Qiao squatted down and hugged Xiao Changle.
"Um...sell..." Xiao Changle twisted his body.
"No, not today."
"Um...huh...huh..." Xiao Changle frowned his little eyebrows, pursed his mouth and grumbled, and looked like I would cry if he didn't take me to'selling' again.
Qiao Shen simply picked up the food box and loaded the mooncakes, and took Xiao Changle to the carpenter's shop to find Qi Shuo. Selfishly, Qiao Shen is used to making a fresh meal every time, the first one is given to Qi Shuo.
"Yes, this is egg yolk? Salty and delicious.".Not surprisingly, the mooncakes were loved by Qi Shuo, and Qiao thought deeply: How often did he not like Qi Shuo who made them?
"You look at Changle. Mooncakes are heavy with oil and sugar. He is still young and he can't digest too much. I will send some to the next door. Thank you for your help a few days ago."
Qiao Shen has a lot of them. The mooncakes are made of single egg yolk, so they are not too big. Qiao Shen packed two mooncakes with egg yolk on a small plate and sent them to the shopkeeper Liu's porcelain shop.
The shopkeeper Liu heard his husband say that Qiao Shen often cooked food for his son Yongyuan, and the two came closer, so shopkeeper Liu was not polite with Qiao Shen.
After eating an egg yolk moon cake, shopkeeper Liu was amazed: "Your moon cake is strange, sweet but not greasy, and the egg yolk is salty but not too salty. Such a wonderful thing is a must-have gift for the festive season."
After chatting with shopkeeper Liu, the words of shopkeeper Liu gave Qiao some ideas.
.Back at the carpenter's shop, Xiao Changle slept on the bench, Qi Shuo sat drinking barley tea, and fanned Xiao Changle with a fan in one hand.
Qiao Shen walked over, touched Xiao Changle’s forehead, and said softly to Qi Shuo, “I didn’t want to sleep at home, as if there was a needle sticking him in the bed. I brought him here, but I didn’t want to come. Oh."
Qi Shuo looked at the duplicity Qiao Shen with a smile, put down his tea cup, stretched out a big hand and sat beside Qiao Shen, and talked to him: "Aren't you tired? When the sun gets smaller, we will go home together, eh?"

"I'm not tired, are you busy today?"
"Not busy, why?" Seeing Qiao Shen's expression, he knew that he had something to ask for himself, Qi Shuo asked.
"The shopkeeper Liu just said that the mooncakes I made can be a good gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival." Qiao Shen couldn't wait to confide his thoughts.
.‘Gift’ is a good social aspect to maintain relationships. It can be used not only between couples, between workplaces, between relatives and friends, but also in ancient times. The same is true in the world of human beings.
"So, I plan to make it more beautiful and sell it to Lin Fu Ji." Lin Fu Ji is the largest pastry shop in East Town. Not only that, it is also a chain enterprise. Because the pastries are exquisite and delicious, it is the preferred shop for the people to give gifts.
"Okay, tell me, I'll do it for you." Qi Shuo saw Qiao Shen's eyes when he said the word "beautiful", and he knew that his job was coming.
"Hey...I want a mold of this size, and then engrave me a lid with the word "Fu"..." Qiao Shen took Qi Shuo's hand, changed a circle on his palm, and then set it on himself again. The hand gestured for the word "Fu" cover, and finally put his hand in Qi Shuo's palm, and practiced how to make a beautiful moon cake.
."When we go back, we will drop by to look at the signboard of Lin Fu Ji. You write down the middle character and engrave that character." Qiao Shen told Qi Shuo of the plan.
"You don't need to see it, I'll make it for you now." What Qiao Shen didn't know was that the plaque hanging on Ren Lin Fu Ji's shop was renovated last year and was made by his husband Qi Shuo.
Qiao Shen looked at Qi Shuo admiringly, this is too powerful! Worthy of being my husband!
Qi Shuo asked Qiao Shen to pick a thick piece of wood by himself, took the tool and went to the workbench, dig a hole in the middle of the wood, and after smoothing it, he carved a blessing on the hole. Recalling what Qiao Shen described, he carved the edge of the pit into a jagged shape, and finally smoothed the whole piece of wood and took it out to Qiao Shen.
"Wow, it's great too! It's better than I thought! And it's done so soon?".Qiao Shen was very surprised that this mold was no worse than modern ones.
"Why are you so smart, I was thinking about pressing with the lid, but you just got it done."
Qi Shuo's look at Shang Qiao's deep worship was very useful, so he smiled proudly: "I just want to engrave you on my hand."
Qiao Shen was stunned for a moment before he realized that Qi Shuo was referring to what Qiao Shen described as comparing his hand to a lid and covering Qi Shuo's hand with his own hand.
Qiao Shen was a little embarrassed at first, but looked at Qi Shuo's deep eyes under his sword eyebrows, looked at himself tenderly, and couldn't help but leaned over to kiss Qi Shuo's face.
Qi Shuo pressed his tongue against his left cheek and pulled Qiao Shen to stand up. Qiao Shen was dragged into the back of the screen for unknown reasons. As soon as he stood firmly, he heard Qi Shuo say: "Just outside, you are doing it. what?".In broad daylight, with the shop wide open, Qiao Shen actually seduce himself like this.
Qiao Shen's face blushed, thinking that Qi Shuo was reprimanding himself, and wanted to apologize: "Ah...I... right..."
Before Qiao Shen could finish, Qi Shuo put his arms around Qiao Shen's waist with two big hands, and closed Qiao Shen's mouth with his lips. This is the taste of a pure male. Qi Shuo sucked Qiao Shen's lower lip and felt Qiao Shen's obedience. Only then did he cover it, sticking out his tongue and licking Qiao Shen's tongue...
Qi Shuo took the initiative to end. He raised his head to look at Qiao Shen who was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but lowered his head and pecked Qiao Shen again. Finally, he completely released Qiao Shen and walked back to the tea table to sit down.
Qiao Shen was too shy. Fortunately, Xiao Changle also ended his nap. He woke up and acted like a baby with the adult. He rescued Qiao Shen and drove away the ambiguous air between the two adults.
.On the way back, Qiao Shen bought a lot of ingredients for mooncakes. After handling the lotus seeds and egg yolks, Qiao Shen started cooking dinner
