When the sky was about to turn dark, the brother in law, Zhao Bao, finally came. His brother-in-law, Zhao Bao, was also a person from a simple family, he was very simple and honest.

"Brother-in-law, you finally came. Let's eat dinner before we leave!" The Shen's Father said.

"If you want to pick it up, pick it up!" With just that one sentence, the Shen's Father was so angry that he didn't want to say anything and just wanted to beat Shen Cuilian up.

"Do you want to be left alone? It's not like you're in the 'out of the three ways to go, do you want to live by yourself?' " Shen's Father scolded Shen Cuilian.

Shen Cuilian was truly afraid of being abandoned, hence she could only obey.

Outside, Zhao Baolai was sitting at the table. The stove in Shen Shiliu was busy, and after making some small fry, he carried it to the table.

Zhao BaoLai sighed. Even if he didn't eat, he would still eat if he was pressed down here.

Shen Cuilian didn't dare to say anything more after coming out of the room. After all, she still had a son, and she couldn't bear to part with him.

"Eat then. The two of you can go back after dinner." The Shen's Father said.

The Liang clan looked at Mrs. Zheng and laughed. Mrs. Zheng also responded with a wink of her eyes.

Shen Shiliu and Shen Shu both ate their own food, and even after a while, they were still depressed.

After dinner, Zhao Baolai brought Shen Cuilian and went back. There were still children at home, so they had to go back.

Before he left, Shen Shiliu took some of the peanuts he fried for his cousins to eat, and Mrs. Zheng also added some dried sweet potatoes that was left outside the house. Zhao Baolai was originally embarrassed to eat it all, but Shen Cuilian did not care about that, as they were his own brothers, he took a big bag of peanuts and left in the end.

"Sigh, he's gone!" Mrs. Zheng wiped off her sweat and heaved a sigh of relief. Shen's Father was helpless, this little sister of his was too outrageous!

Shen Shiliu went to the stove to take a look at the broth.

Shen Shu studied the few pieces of paper Du Xuan Mo gave him at night, while the Shen Shiliu pondered over how to make the pastries.

Madame Liang's eyes didn't look too good, and she couldn't do anything at night either. She just sat in the courtyard and took out the soybeans from last year and stepped on them, removing the dried pods from the outside, leaving the soybeans inside.

"Mom, let's rest for now. Who cares what this yellow bean is for!" Mrs. Zheng said, his mother had to know the pain in her heart.

"That's right, mother-in-law. We'll come tomorrow!" Shen's Father was also afraid that his mother-in-law would tire her out and fight him to the death.

Madame Liang smiled and said, "It's alright, I won't be idle!"

Mrs. Zheng and the Liang Family stepped on the soybeans together. Shen's Father sighed and went to the pigsty and duck house to get some water.

"Don't worry about getting married into my family. Such a good girl, if I were you, I would also want to stay. Please don't worry, you can compensate my family's happiness!" The Liang clan sighed and said. Their own child's heart ached, and the Liang clan also heard about the Zhou clan's matter. They were truly worried about the great matter of the Shen Shiliu's life.

Mrs. Zheng nodded her head: "Mother, don't worry, the father has already said it, the child will not casually marry out the pomegranate. If we cannot find a good family, we will raise her for a lifetime!"

Madame Liang smiled and said, "How can it be raised for a lifetime? I saw that the pomegranate was a lot thinner than when I came back last time. "It's only thirteen, so there's no rush!"

After Mrs. Zheng heard these words, she felt at ease, and her mood became a lot better. Her family's pomegranate was so good, she did not believe that she would not be able to find a good wife!

Shen Shiliu didn't sleep soundly that night, her mind was filled with thoughts of how to make the pastries, and she knew that after Beggar's Day, there would be the Mid-Autumn Festival. If she did a good job, she would be able to sell them in the county city, and she would take the chance to earn more money!

The morning of the second day, Shen's Father and Shen Shu prepared to enter the city. Mrs. Zheng stayed at home to compensate the Liang clan and Shen Shiliu followed his father and brother into the city.

Shen Shiliu did not follow and sell the broth, but went to the grain shop.

The boss came over and greeted him. He weighed three catties of glutinous rice and Shen Shiliu took it home first.

Seeing that Shen Shiliu had returned with the glutinous rice, Mrs. Zheng did not ask anymore. Shen Shiliu could do whatever she wanted, she continued to chat with the Liang Family.

Shen Shiliu first picked up the rice and then steamed the glutinous rice. When it was cooked, he would first take a cool look, then sprinkle some sugar, then took the biggest rolling pin in the house and knocked on it.

Seeing how big the commotion was, Mrs. Zheng came over and asked: "What are you doing?"

"Make the cake!" Shen Shiliu spoke as she beat the steamed glutinous rice repeatedly. This was also her first time trying it, and she couldn't guarantee if it would end with a cake or with a soup!

Mrs. Zheng saw that the Shen Shiliu was tired from fighting monsters alone, so she came over to help. The two girls kept rolling in their staves, opening and closing.

Shen Shiliu and Mrs. Zheng fought for a long time before stopping. She took it and pinched it herself, feeling that it was more or less elastic. It was really not bad that she had reached such a degree on her first try.

Shen Shiliu took the flower bud of the osmanthus flower that she had rolled a few days ago and spread it on the dough before continuing the fight with Mrs. Zheng.

After a while, the osmanthus flower and noodles became even again. Shen Shiliu then sat the pot back into the water and started to beat the dough into pieces.

"Tsk tsk, our family really knows how to get a pomegranate!" Just looking at the Shen Shiliu's work was enough to pamper the eyes!

Mrs. Zheng laughed: "Even if it's nonsense, I wonder if the food I make will taste good!"

Shen Shiliu was unhappy: "It's delicious, it's definitely delicious, when the time comes I'll give Grandma a try!"

Madame Liang chuckled. The family's days were really good.

At noon, Shen's Father came back alone first, and the osmanthus cake that he made also coincidentally went into the pot.

"Aiyo, it smells so good!" Shen's Father opened his eyes wide. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled the fragrance of the osmanthus flowers.

Shen Shiliu smiled as she used her chopsticks to pick up the wok of osmanthus cake. The whole family stood around the table and looked at the plate of waffle cake in the middle of the table, their eyes wide open.

The osmanthus cake steamed with glutinous rice had not only fragrance but also appearance. There were yellow osmanthus petals on the cake, making it look very pleasing. One by one, the pancakes looked thick, and with a poke of their hands, they were even softer.

"Aiyo, I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen such beautiful pastries!" Even the pastry shop in the county would not be able to produce something like this!

Shen Shiliu picked one up with her chopsticks and gave it to the Liang Family. "Grandmother will eat one first.

Madame Liang received it with a smile. Her appearance was as if she was eating ginseng fruit. With a blow, she placed it in her mouth. With a bite, her eyes lit up.

"Aiyo, it's so soft and sticky! It's sweet but not greasy. In my entire life, I've never eaten anything so good! " When the Liang clan said this, Shen's Father and Mrs. Zheng couldn't wait any longer. Each took one, and after they finished eating, they said it was delicious!

Shen Shiliu was happy and relieved.

"That's great, wait for Beggar's Day, we will set up stall and we will definitely earn a lot!" When Shen Shiliu said this, the whole family was stunned, and immediately began to praise him for her cleverness!

Mrs. Zheng said: "This cake is delicious, but the process is very tiring. I just hit three catties of glutinous rice today, who knows how many times I would have to eat if I were to set up a stall!"

Shen's Father immediately said: "It's alright, even if Big Tree and I don't sleep, we will still fight!"

Shen Shiliu felt that it was not that exaggerated and immediately laughed: "Today, mother and I made it with rolling sticks. If it's not smooth, then it's slow. She didn't plan on staying idle for the next few days. This was just a kind of cake and it would be hard to sell if she sold it. If she continued to study it tomorrow, she would need at least three or four things to sell it!

In the afternoon, Shen Shiliu had already finished cooking the dough, and those from the same village with a nose even came over to smell it. Shen Shiliu was becoming more and more confident in her little business!

At night, Mrs. Zheng and Shen's Father laid on the bed with smiles on their faces. Although Shen Shiliu couldn't go to work in the fields, he knew how to earn money so if this continued, it would only be a matter of time before they built a big house.

Shen Shiliu went to the county town the next day. This time, she also sold some glutinous rice, red beans and green beans.

In the evening, the whole family gathered around the table again, looking at the latest research results from the Shen Shiliu.

The red beans steamed and mashed into mashed beans, part of the left mixed sugar for filling, part of the sun-dried glutinous rice outside to make powder. The same goes for mung beans.

"These are Red Bean Cake and Green Bean Cake!" The Shen Shiliu carried another plate after he finished speaking.

The glutinous rice was rolled into a thin layer. Then, the soybeans were cooked and mashed to dry. The glutinous rice was wrapped in soybeans powder and then cut into rolls. It looked pretty good.

"This is peanut butter cake!" Shen Shiliu said that after the peanuts were cooked and mashed into mud, they would be fried together with sesame seeds in a wok of oil. After the oil was fried into a wok of mucus, they would be boiled with glutinous rice and steamed in a wok.

Shen's Father and Mrs. Zheng's eyes lit up as they looked at the several plates of pastries on the table. Each of them picked up one and started to eat.

"It's so delicious! The peanut butter cake is so fragrant!" The other three also nodded their heads. These pastries were really too good. Normally, they were fried in oil or baked on an earth stove, so how could they be so soft?

Shen Shiliu laughed dumbly. It seems that her research was not bad!

After discussing with his family, he decided to rent a stall in the market at Beggar's Day. He was definitely going to sell such delicious pastries!
