Lin Ranran immediately withdrew her hand, twisted the bottle cap on her own, and said to Gu Yuanyuan, "You can eat it in a few days. Come here, sister will take you to wash your hands."
"Okay~" Gu Yuanyuan obediently went to the ground and followed Lin Ranran away.
Gu Peiyuan was left aside, full of bewilderment, and did not have a word with Lin Ranran until after dinner.
The fireplace was burning, and the living room was very warm. Lin Ranran and Gu Yuanyuan chatted with Grandma Gu, and wove wool balls together. Gu Peiyuan also stayed in the living room today, but he didn't get together to make fun of himself, but sat alone and read a book.
Even Pei Shenshen could see that there was a problem between Gu Peiyuan and Lin Ranran, and he was secretly happy, so he didn't go back to the room early as usual, but stayed in the living room.
Mama Zhang brought out a plate of steamed buns with red bean paste and invited them to have some snacks. The habit of Shanghai people to eat late at night is still preserved even when supplies are the most scarce. Even a plate of boiled water chestnuts and stewed taro is a sense of ritual.
However, Zhang Ma only has three dishes every day: fresh meat glutinous rice balls, steamed buns with red bean paste, and shredded pork noodles with pickled vegetables. There are only these three people in the Gu family now, and Grandma Gu is getting old and doesn't eat supper. Gu Yuanyuan is easy to feed, and Gu Peiyuan only needs to fill his stomach, so no one is picky. Zhang's mother was also happy to be leisurely, and served these three dishes in turn every day.
But these days, Gu Yuanyuan ate too much snacks from outside, and with Lin Ranran by his side, he raised his mouth: "It's this steamed bun again, I'm tired of eating it."
"Little ancestor, there are so many children out there who can't afford to eat, and you're still picky," Zhang Ma said.
Grandma Gu said: "Mother Zhang, give Yuan Yuan a cup of milk powder."
Gu Yuanyuan was still pouting unhappy, rolled into Lin Ranran's arms, and the two whispered head to head. Lin Ranran took a steamed bun and ate it. The steamed bun was made really well. The snow-white rich and strong powder exuded a unique fragrance of fine grains. When he bit it down, there was a little bean paste filling inside.
It's okay to eat as a dinner, but it's rough as a midnight snack. It's hard for the two Gu Peiyuan brothers to be able to eat it. Look at Pei Shenshen again, he only drinks tea with his hands, but doesn't even touch the dessert.
"Is it to your liking?" Gu Peiyuan closed the book, looked at her and asked.
Lin Ranran came back to her senses, of course she couldn't say no in front of Mama Zhang, she just said: "It's not bad."
not bad? The tone is quite loud. Zhang Ma came out with a pot of brewed hot milk, and when she heard this, her lips curled up in her heart. But this time she learned how to behave. After soaking a big pot of milk, Lin Ranran also poured a glass in front of her, and she didn't dare to neglect her.
Gu Peiyuan stood up, walked slowly around the room as if stretching his muscles and bones, came to stand behind Lin Ranran, put one hand on the back of the sofa, and lowered his head to talk to Lin Ranran: "If you don't like food, let Zhang Ma Cook you a bowl of noodles."
His posture showed more and more the watch on his wrist, which was bright and eye-catching. Lin Ranran's face almost collapsed, and she didn't leave immediately because Grandma Gu was sitting on the side.
"No, it's fine." Lin Ranran bit the dry steamed bun, frowning.
Gu Peiyuan looked at it and said, "Drink some milk, it's not that hard."
Lin Ranran simply turned to Gu Yuanyuan, who was also grimly eating steamed buns, and said, "Yuanyuan, do you want to eat baked steamed buns?"
"Think!" Gu Yuanyuan said happily.
Grandma Gu also cheered up: "What are baked buns?"
"It's like barbecuing meat, roast the steamed buns on the fire, and then spread condensed milk and honey on it." Lin Ranran explained.
Grandma Gu hurriedly said: "The utensils that Pei Yuan used to barbecue with his friends last time are still there, Mama Zhang quickly find them."
"Hey." Zhang Ma agreed to go, but there was another burst of complaints.
Not long after, Zhang's mother found some iron skewers for barbecue, about 20 to 30 centimeters long, and the wooden handle at the end was polished smoothly, which was just right for holding. According to Lin Ranran's request, the steamed buns were cut into thick slices, brushed with a thick layer of oil, and spread with fermented bean curd or condensed milk and honey.
Lin Ranran took the opportunity to take Gu Yuanyuan to sit in front of the fireplace and shake off Gu Peiyuan.
"That's it, don't get too close to the fire, or the steamed buns will burn." Lin Ranran explained to Gu Yuanyuan, while inserting the steamed bun slices with an iron braze, and holding them on the fire to roast. After a while, the surface of the steamed bun slices gradually turned burnt yellow, and the fragrance wafted out.
"Are you ready? Are you ready?" Gu Yuanyuan scratched his head anxiously.
"It's almost there." Lin Ranran took back the iron braze, carefully picked up the slices of steamed buns with chopsticks, and blew them on before putting them on Gu Yuanyuan's plate.
Gu Yuanyuan puffed up his cheeks and blew, and bit down. The surface of the oil-soaked steamed bun slices was baked to a crispy yellow and crispy color, but the inside was very soft, and the sweetness and milky aroma of the condensed milk were also soaked in. It was more dry than the original steamed buns film?? leaned over to look at it again: "Its fur is so beautiful."
Pei deeply stroked the fur of the hemp ball, with his nostrils facing the sky: "Be careful, the hemp ball will scratch people."
Lin Ranran didn't bother to pay attention to her, and continued to look at the mochi ball greedily. I really want to touch
Gu Peiyuan held up a slice of steamed buns and baked them, his face full of indifference. Pei Shenshen shouted at him: "Pei Yuan, come and see, hemp balls are eating toasted buns."
"That's right, the mochi balls are eaten less and less each day in winter." Mama Zhang also jokingly said, "I'm still worried that Madam won't be able to see the mochi balls when she comes back."
Ma Tuan is Gu Peiyuan's mother's beloved pet, so the status in the family is also particularly detached. Ma Tuan is already a thirteen-year-old cat. This winter, it has been sleeping by the fireplace almost all day, and its appetite is also decreasing day by day.
Except for Gu Yuanyuan, the whole family had a premonition in their hearts that Ma Tuan might not survive this winter. I didn't expect Ma Tuan to be in such a good condition today, and everyone was overjoyed.
Gu Peiyuan also came over and scratched Ma Tuan's chin with his hand. Ma Tuan opened his eyes a little, and closed them again when he saw it was Gu Peiyuan, with a snoring sound still coming from his throat.
Gu Yuanyuan broke off some steamed buns and fed them to the mochi's mouth. The hemp ball stretched out its barbed tongue and ate it.
"It's so itchy!" Gu Yuanyuan chuckled, and Gu Peiyuan also had a smile in his eyes.
Lin Ranran, who was disgusted by Ma Tuan, couldn't laugh anymore. Is there anything more frustrating than having a cat right in front of you but not letting you touch it?
Gu Peiyuan suddenly looked over and said to Lin Ranran: "Do you want to feed the mochi ball?"
Lin Ranran really wanted to ignore it, but the cat's temptation prevailed, and she said flatly, "I feed you the hemp balls if you don't eat them."
"That's right, Ma Tuan doesn't like strangers." Pei Shenshen said hastily, very complacently, "Look, I've been here for so long before Ma Tuan let me hug it."
Lin Ranran turned her head away angrily when she heard the words.
Gu Peiyuan suddenly stretched out his hand, squeezed the back of the hemp ball, lifted it from Pei Shenshen's arms, and sent it to Lin Ranran's arms: "I'll give you a hug." (Remember this website: www.hlnovel.com
