Chapter 316 Sisters
Seeing her looking at her with sparkling eyes, He Chunxiu couldn't bear to refuse.
She held her already bulging belly with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand and smiled: "Okay, but I've never taught anyone, and I don't know how to teach anyone."
"Just tell me what to do." Yin Qianxue said.
"You talk while I do it, sister... Sister He, just watch me do it, okay?"
"good."
He Chunxiu smiled and responded.
For some reason, she always had a strange feeling when facing Yin Qianxue.
When she first met her, she felt that this noble lady looked friendly, and after spending these days together, she couldn't help but want to get closer to her.
She always wanted to meet Yin Qianxue's requests unconditionally, and wanted to treat Yin Qianxue well, loving and pampering her like she treated Baoya.
Seeing that she agreed, Yin Qianxue happily took her hand and shook it coquettishly: "Sister He, you are so kind!"
Before her sister was lost, she never thought of learning how to make sugar cakes.
Whenever she wants to eat, her mother and sister will make it for her.
But later my sister went missing, and my mother no longer had the heart to make sugar cakes.
At that time, she regretted that if she had been more diligent and learned from her sister, she could make it herself and even make it for her mother...
"Lan Xiang, go prepare some ingredients for making the sugar cakes."
He Chunxiu's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Yin Qianxue came back to her senses and saw He Chunxiu, who was sitting next to her, slightly raising her face and instructing Lan Xiang to prepare some flour, boiling water and sugar.
The lines of her profile were soft, and there was a warm glimmer in her eyes, which actually made Yin Qianxue stunned.
"To make sugar cakes, you need to use boiling water to mix the dough." He Chunxiu said with a smile, "It's called hot noodles."
She was so excited that she forgot the difference in status and took Yin Qianxue's hand and walked towards the small kitchen.
"You have to stir as you pour the water in. When it's almost done, add some oil and mix it all in."
In the small kitchen, Yin Qianxue rolled up her sleeves, revealing a piece of snow-white arm. Her slender fingers held the chopsticks and kept stirring the flour in the basin that had not yet formed a clumping mass.
He Chunxiu picked up the kettle and stood by to help her pour the boiling water.
Soon the dough in the basin was formed into a ball. Yin Qianxue followed He Chunxiu's instructions, poured some oil into it, and then continued to knead the dough with her hands.
She was very skillful, making balls here and there. Although it was her first time, she did a good job. The basin was spotless without any leftover flour or dough.
He Chunxiu was watching from the side, her mouth smacking her lips in amazement: "Madam used to cook for herself when she was at home?"
Just as Yin Qianxue was about to speak, a clear voice rang out at the door: "How is that possible? Madam's hands are as precious as gold and jade, yet they have never touched the water of spring water!"
When they turned around, they saw Xia He standing at the door with a smile on her face, looking inside.
"Your wife is quite talented," He Chunxiu said with a smile, "She mixes noodles better than I do, and the basin is very clean!"
Yin Qianxue blushed at her praise: "Sister... Sister He, you're just joking. It's because you taught me so well. How to knead the dough, how to add water, you explained it so carefully, it's hard for me not to learn it."
"Oh, madam, you are so modest. You are obviously so happy inside!" Xia He made a face and teased her.
Yin Qianxue was thin-skinned and rolled her eyes at her, saying coquettishly, "You're the only one who's talking too much! The kitchen is small, so go out and help Lanxiang and Cuiqiao with some work. Don't go out and act wild once you leave the house!"
"I know, I know. Madam, you guys are busy. Xia He is leaving!" After saying that, Xia He turned around and left.
He Chunxiu shook her head and chuckled: "Xia He is your maid. You are guests here, so you don't need her to do any work. Besides, how much work can I get in my small shop?"
"It's okay. She's used to being busy and can't sit idle even if she doesn't work." Yin Qianxue said.
She kneaded the dough and, following He Chunxiu's instructions, cut the large dough into small balls, then wrapped some sugar in them and kneaded them into small pancakes.
The small pancakes are all about the same size and are placed on the top of the lid, stacked in circles neatly.
After all the small pancakes were wrapped, Lan Xiang lit the stove and heated the oil.
He Chunxiu said, "Just throw these little pancakes in and fry them. Turn them over frequently to prevent them from burning."
"Well, is that so?"
"right."
"Ouch, this one's a little burnt!"
"It doesn't matter. The focus is what makes it smell good."
"Sister, just coax me!"
Yin Qianxue waved her white wrist and turned over the golden fried sugar cake in the pan. Her movements were quick and brisk, and her eyes were full of smiles.
Because she was so engrossed in the game, she had forgotten to change her name.
Her pink lips opened and closed as she cried, "Sister, look at how well I fried this, isn't it? It's not burnt at all!"
"Leave this for my sister to eat later. At least I can make a perfect one!"
"Sister, should I fish this out?"
"elder sister……"
"elder sister……"
Yin Qianxue's sweet voice was heard in my ears, calling her sister over and over again.
He Chunxiu didn't know when she became distracted.
The graceful figure in front of her gradually appeared in her mind, but it was not Yin Qianxue's face, but a beautiful woman with eyebrows painted with black ink, lips like vermilion, pink cheeks and almond eyes.
The lady was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with her sleeves rolled up, holding a pair of long chopsticks in her hand, frying noodles.
Next to her, two little girls, as tall as her waist, were holding her skirt on the left and right, both sticking their heads out to look into the pot.
"Mom, is it okay? I can smell the sweet fragrance!"
"Qianxue, don't rush me, or I might burn my hands."
"Sister, why don't you learn how to make sugar cakes with mother? That way I won't rush her."
"You clever little devil! You're not urging your mother, but urging me instead?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Qianxue...
Mother……
elder sister?
He Chunxiu frowned, and something seemed to be about to burst out of her mind.
"Qianxue... Madam," she looked at Yin Qianxue who was frying sugar cakes and asked tentatively, "Madam, do you have a sister at home..."
"mother!"
"Third Aunt!"
"We're out of class!"
She was interrupted by two childish voices coming from outside.
"Oh!" He Chunxiu suppressed her emotions, curled her lips and smiled.
Yin Qianxue didn't pay attention to what she just said. When she heard the voice, she looked towards the door: "It's Baoya and Yueya, right? Let them try the candy cakes I made later."
He Chunxiu nodded and helped her pick out all the sugar cakes from the pot and put them on a plate.
The two of them each carried a plate and left the kitchen one after the other.
Baoya and Yunyue placed the book basket on the empty table where the guests were dining outside, and came over when they smelled the smell.
Seeing He Chunxiu coming out with a plate of sugar cakes, Baoya said in surprise: "Mom made sugar cakes?!"
He Chunxiu shook her head and smiled: "I didn't do this, it was Madam Chen who did it."
"Mrs. Chen can also make cakes?" Yun Yue was surprised.
Can the wife of an official even cook?!
"How could I do that? It's all because my sister taught me well." Yin Qianxue said with a smile.
Looking at her bright eyes and eyebrows, He Chunxiu always felt that the word "sister" was both familiar and kind.
