Li Yan looked at Zheng Hui, who looked a little disappointed, and suggested, "Your brother is weak, and it's no use taking tonics all the time. I think we should also pay more attention to our diet while taking tonics. This way, we can achieve a two-pronged approach and achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
Zheng Hui shook her head. "Maybe it's because he took too many medicines, but this child is very picky about food!"
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "I heard drinking goat's milk is good for the body. You can give your brother a bowl of it every day, or you can make cakes with goat's milk for him. Children like new things. If you chop the food into small pieces and mix them together, and then make them look new and unique, he will definitely like it!"
When Zheng Hui heard this, she became energetic and looked at Li Yan with shining eyes.
Li Yan had no choice but to say, "Come on, take me to the kitchen!"
Zheng Hui led Li Yan to the kitchen. Li Yan asked the cook for some fermented dough, red bean paste, red dates and sugar.
Li Yan's hands were flying, and soon all the rabbit-head buns in various shapes, some sitting and some lying, were ready!
Li Yan patted the flour off her hands and told the kitchen maid to steam the buns. "We don't have goat's milk right now, otherwise we could make custard buns. They're sweet and sticky, and kids will love them even more!"
At this moment, Zheng Hui was impressed by the rabbits, some sitting, some lying, with different expressions. She couldn't help but sigh, "How can you make them so realistic? Yan'er, you have such a skillful hand. Xiaocheng will definitely like it when he sees it!"
Li Yan: "As long as he likes it, I'll go back and make some nice molds for him. Just put the noodles on the molds and press them!"
Worried that Zheng Hui didn't understand, he continued to explain, "It's similar to rubbing a plate. You can print out the pattern you want!"
After hearing this, Zheng Hui happily took Li Yan's arm and said affectionately, "Come on, let's go back first. I'll ask them to set up the dinner. You can eat first and then leave!"
Li Yan declined, "I've been out for a long time, and someone at home is waiting for me in the city, so I'll go back first!"
After hearing what Li Yan said, Zheng Hui no longer tried to keep her. It was freezing and snowy outside, and it was not easy to go out. Zheng Hui ordered the maid beside her: "Go and pack some cakes for Miss Li to take back!" The maid ran away after hearing that.
Zheng Hui said reluctantly, "The roads outside the city are covered in snow, so I won't keep you. Go back slowly!"
When they reached the door, Zheng Hui took the bundle from the maid and handed it to Li Yan: "These are all the cakes I like to eat. Take some back and try them!"
After thanking him, Li Yan took the bundle and left the backyard. She walked to the front yard of the county government office and looked inside. "Is anyone there?"
An old yamen runner with gray hair came out and saw that it was a child. He waved his hand and said, "Little boy, don't run around. This is not a place for you to come!"
Li Yan stood up straight and greeted the old man. "My father is Li Wenzhi, who works for the county magistrate. He fell off his donkey cart on a slippery snowy day and injured his foot. I'm here to ask for leave on his behalf!"
After hearing this, the old yamen runner looked Li Yan up and down, then said, "Your Excellency has been mentioning your father these days, and it turns out he's injured! Now your Excellency has gone with people to inspect the disaster. I'll pass on your message when he returns!"
After thanking the old yamen runner, Li Yan turned and went to Piaoxiang Tower.
As we walked along, we found that most of the shops in the city were open, but there were only a few customers, which was a stark contrast to the bustling scenes of the past.
This heavy snow brought severe disaster to the people who were already living in poverty. County Magistrate Zheng was so anxious that blisters appeared on the corners of his mouth. So many homeless villagers were all people under his rule. If he turned a blind eye, these people might not survive this winter.
Even if he wanted to manage it, it would be very difficult!
