Chapter 96: Children's Happiness



After Erzhu changed into clean and tidier clothes, the two of them went together and began to visit every household and invite people.

"Tiedan, our bread oven is ready. I would like to invite you and your friends to come to our house this afternoon. Is that okay?"

"Auntie Tiantian, is this the kind of oven you mentioned before, the one that can bake small cakes?"

"Yes, it's the kind of oven that can bake a lot of soft bread and cakes~"

"Ahhh...Aunt Tiantian, I have to go...I'm going to call Shitou and the others..."

"Go ahead, and call Niuniu and her sisters along too~"

"Okay, I understand~"

In this way, Jiang Tiantian and Erzhu found a few headmasters in the village and invited almost all the children.

The two went to the grocery store and carried back a large bag of flour, white sugar and brown sugar.

After returning home.

The two chefs began to work diligently in the kitchen, while Zuo Mingyan assisted them conscientiously.

"Sister-in-law, how long does it take to beat the egg white?" Erzhu asked.

"You can't stop. You have to hit it hard and quickly in one direction until rich bubbles appear."

"Okay! Sister-in-law, you don't have to do this, go do something else."

"Yeah." Jiang Tiantian responded, and then began to knead the dough. After kneading for a while, she stopped, added two spoons of lard, kneaded for a while, stopped again, and added two more spoons of lard.

Seeing this, Zuo Mingyan asked curiously, "Tiantian, do we need to add lard to the dough?"

"Mom, adding lard will make the dough layered and crispy when baked." Jiang Tiantian replied.

"Oh!" Zuo Mingyan said with a smile, "Our Tiantian is so smart and knows everything."

Jiang Tiantian smiled and used her wrist to tuck away the strands of hair that had hit her face. "Mom, the process isn't complicated. You only need to watch it once and you'll be able to do it."

She suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something, "Oh, by the way, Mom, go and help me get the batch of flower jam I made a few days ago."

Last time, when Jiang Tiantian went up the mountain, she picked a lot of edible wild rose petals, azalea petals, wild chrysanthemum petals and the like, and added honey and sugar to them all to make flower jam.

Today, it is just right to use it to make flower cakes.

Several people were busy for most of the day and even had a quick lunch.

But the final result is amazing.

Jiang Tiantian asked Cha Jiuzhang to borrow a few long tables from the village activity center, and added them to the few tables already at home, and they formed a long row in the yard.

The table was filled with all kinds of food, including fist-sized honey egg cakes, various flower cakes, animal-shaped cookies, and soft bread...

In case there were too many children, Jiang Tiantian also made several large fruit pizzas, including strawberry, pineapple, and banana flavors...

Desserts alone were not enough, so Jiang Tiantian asked Cha Jiuzhang to help catch a few chickens and made several secret roast chickens.

I also fried two large bowls of French fries and shrimp chips...

Erzhu also put his knowledge into practice, and prepared several large pots of various milk teas, fruit drinks, and flower and fruit teas that he had come up with these days, and placed them on the table...

There are several tables of various snacks and treats, which make people drool just by looking at them...

Jiang Tiantian also instructed Cha Jiuzhang to pick a lot of flowers to decorate the place...

A small buffet banquet already looks quite presentable.

Finally, more than twenty children of appropriate age from the village came.

"Wow! There are so many foods. They look delicious."

"Wow~ So beautiful~"

Most of the children were quite shy as it was their first time to see such a scene. Seeing the pretty Jiang Tiantian and the amiable primary school principal Zuo Mingyan, they did not dare to be too presumptuous and pushed and shoved the brave ones to go first.

Finally, when they saw that there were more people, they started to mill around the table, looking at this and that, wanting to eat something but feeling embarrassed to start.

Occasionally, there are a few little boys who are much more straightforward. Once they see something they like, they just pick it up and eat it.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Jiang Tiantian smiled and clapped her hands, saying loudly, "Welcome the cutest children from Chajia Village to our home today. Don't be polite, all of this is prepared for you, so eat as much as you can."

"Wow~"

"Yeah~"

Now the children rushed forward excitedly.

"Which one do you like?"

"That one is delicious, I want that one!"

"I want that, too."

“I want one too!”

“…”

A group of children lit up the atmosphere of the entire yard.

They laughed and played together, competing with each other for their favorite food.

There were a few children who were still relatively young, and their mothers were worried, so they came along too.

Jiang Tiantian smiled and took them to visit the bread kiln, explaining the production process of various pastries.

"Any of you who want to learn can come to me. You're welcome."

"Tiantian, you know so many things. When you have time in the future, please teach us more."

"No problem. I also have things that you guys know, but I don't. I'll need to ask you more in the future."

"That's easy. If you want to know something, just come and ask us."

“…”

Children are easily satisfied. They can be easily bribed with delicious food and drinks.

During the dinner, Jiang Tiantian tried to get close to the children, saying that she had just arrived and was not familiar with the village. She asked them to remember to inform her if there were any fun or interesting things happening in the village in the future.

"Okay! We'll remember that."

"Auntie Tiantian, don't worry, we will ask you to play with us in the future."

“…”

Most children are very obedient and agree directly.

One of the little boys with a round head and a clever look asked,

"Auntie Tiantian, can we call you for anything we think is fun?"

But he knew that what the children thought was funny would definitely be looked down upon by the adults.

Jiang Tiantian smiled and nodded, "Yes, as long as you think it's fun and interesting, you can call me."

At this time, several children who are usually naughty started to answer the questions.

"We like to go to the hillside outside the village, lay a wooden board, slide down directly from the top of the mountain, and compete to see who is faster..."

"We also like to go fishing in the river, compete to see who can catch more, and then make a fire by the river and roast it ourselves..."

"Last time we made a raft ourselves and floated a long way in the river before coming back..."

"We'll make our own hoops and see who can roll the fastest..."

"We would also catch crickets and have a duel to see whose was the stronger..."

Jiang Tiantian's eyes lit up. What fun this was, even though many of the activities seemed extremely childish to adults.

But seeing these lively kids, their faces lighting up when they talk about these interesting little games, this kind of infectiousness is probably the most valuable thing.
