The two returned home, and Shen Tianli couldn't wait to open the letter. Two letters fell out, one was written "Stupid Apprentice", and the other was not marked with anything.
Shen Tianli opened the unmarked one and saw three pieces of paper inside, two of them were one thousand taels of silver notes, and one had a letter written on it. The handwriting on it was neat and childish, and he could only learn it at a glance.
The letter reads:
Li'er, my son, dad is fine and fine. He can't come back due to special reasons! You should study hard and take good care of your mother and younger brothers and sisters. In two years at most, dad will take you back in glory. Remember, don't Tell others that I'm still alive.
Li'er, you have married a good wife! Of these two banknotes, one is for your study and life, and the other is a meeting gift for Ye'er, so she can buy whatever she likes.
Shen Tianli shook the letter and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as dad is fine, that's fine!
He gave both the banknotes and the letter to Liu Ye. Liu Ye looked at it and said, "This father-in-law is not bad. The greeting gift is so big. I will also give some gifts to dad later."
Shen Tianli knew that his wife was now addicted to making pills. No matter who she gave as a gift, it would always be pills.
The next day it rained sporadically again, and just as they were about to have dinner in the evening, Fang and Liu Yu arrived home.
Seeing that her sister was really back, Liu Yu was also very happy, "Sister, how many days have you been back? If I had known you would come back so early, I would have come back earlier."
Her grandmother lives in a town near Fucheng. Because of the long distance, they only go back once a year and stay for about a month. But this year, because Liu Yu wanted to avoid Shen Tianlu and the constant rain, she This delay actually lasted more than two months.
"I just came back the day before yesterday. Come and wash up quickly. It's just in time for dinner." Willow Ye brought face wash to her sister and said with a smile.
Liu Yu nodded happily, "Yeah! Yeah!"
After dinner, Liu Yu couldn't wait to take out the gifts she had prepared for everyone. She also specially prepared a birthday gift for Liu Ye, which was a medical book.
"Sister, I found it in several bookstores in Fucheng. I wonder if you like it. Can you use it?"
Liu Ye liked her sister's intention very much, and said with a smile: "Of course I can use it, and I like it very much! Thank you Yu'er!"
As he said that, he gave her a clothing design album that he had prepared for his sister. Liu Yu smiled even more when she saw the album.
It’s better to walk around!
Look at her. She has been searching for a long time in Fucheng but has not found this kind of book of simple drawings. My sister can find it wherever she goes.
She really envies her sister, but it's a pity... alas!
Liu Yu had controlled her emotions very well during this period, so Liu Ye didn't notice anything unusual about her sister. Seeing that everyone was there, she told her about her cooperation with Nalan Chengze.
"As for the cooperation on the sample manuscript, I decided to allocate it like this, Yu'er 20%, and Lu'er and I each have 10%. Yu'er, what do you think?" After all, the manuscript depends on Liu Yu, and I and Lu'er actually have nothing to do with it. Less is cheaper.
However, Liu Yu knew that without her sister, she would not be able to draw, let alone design prototypes. Not to mention, her sister had found a lot of picture albums for her this time, and they were about clothing design, and asked her to draw them now. The samples are getting better and better.
He said hurriedly: "Sister, just like Lu'er, I will be fine as soon as I can."
"You designed the sample, so you will naturally take 20% of it." After smiling, he said to He and Fang: "Mom, I know you two are making the ointment together. I will also make the ointment in the same way. Mr. Nalan has cooperated. In the future, if you want to do it, you can continue to sell it in Qinghua Town. If you don’t want to, forget it. We will take 60% of the ointment. Of the 60%, each of you will get 20%, how about it?"
Fang and He looked at each other, and Fang said: "Ye'er, the prescription for this ointment was given to me, and it was your sister He who was making it during this time, so you don't have to share it with me."
"Ye'er, I don't want a share, you can keep it for yourself!" Ms. He knew that her daughter-in-law had a hard enough time supporting their family, but she couldn't covet her daughter-in-law's benefits anymore.
"Yes, Ye'er, you can keep the 60%! Now Tianli and Xiaoyan need money to study. If you have children in the future, there will be more money to use." Liu Shuquan said and looked at it. Two people.
Speaking of the child, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Ye's belly. Seeing the redness of Liu Ye's ears, they couldn't help it. Their eyes were so enthusiastic and expectant, as if she already had one in her belly.
Shen Tianli also glanced at his wife's belly. Like everyone else, he also wanted to have a child, but his wife was right. She was still young and still growing, so it would be best to wait for two years to have a baby. .
Moreover, if he has a child, his wife will no longer be able to serve him!
He coughed slightly, turned all eyes to himself, and said: "How about this? I will keep 21% of my mother-in-law's money for myself, and give one to Mingming. The same goes for my mother's 20%, divided into two parts. Keep one for yourself and give the other to Xiaoyan." Seeing that his father-in-law was about to refute, he made the final decision: "That's it."
Now that Shen Tianli has spoken, others no longer object. Then according to Liu Ye's wishes, the brothers also wanted to settle the accounts and signed a copy of the contract, each signing his or her signature.
The next day, it was August 15th, and it was still raining lightly, but everyone was not idle and got up early in the morning to make mooncakes by themselves.
Liuye made mooncakes in her previous life. When she was in college, there was a cooking party at the school. On August 15th, she held a DIY activity, which called on everyone to make their own mooncakes and give them to the people they like. She was invited by her friends to do it. I ate mooncakes for half a day.
Liuye first made the dough. Although there was no baking powder in ancient times, the dough was left over from steaming steamed buns. Soak the dough into water, add goat milk, eggs, sugar, lard, and flour to make a dough, and ferment it for half an hour. It’s time to make the dough.
During the fermentation period, Liuye began to make the filling of the five-nut mooncakes. Prepare the peanuts, rock sugar, melon seeds, walnuts, and hazelnuts in a pot. Lightly stir-fry them until fragrant. Let them cool and crush them, then add maltose. , finally pour in the fried flour and glutinous rice flour to make the filling, roll it into balls, and the five-nut filling is ready.
During this time, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. He and Fang also made red bean paste, mung bean paste and black sesame filling according to Liu Ye's instructions.
Then everyone started to wrap the mooncakes together and put them into the mooncake mold made by Shen Tianli.
As for the oven, it was easy to make. Liu Shuquan used mud on the pot table and built a large oven according to Liu Ye's instructions. When they finished the mooncakes, Liu Ye spread oil on the mooncakes and put them in the oven to bake.
Bake for twenty-five minutes, break up the mud, and the mooncakes are ready.
Although it doesn't look as good as the oven-baked ones, it smells sweet and delicious.
"Sister-in-law, it's really delicious. I have never eaten such delicious mooncakes, so fragrant and sweet. Sister-in-law, you are so amazing!" Shen Tianyan ate the five-nut mooncake and was full of praise.
Liu Yu also nodded and asked: "It's delicious, sister, how can you make such delicious mooncakes?"
Liu Ye's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "When I was traveling in the medical field, I saw people making snacks like this, which were quite delicious, so I thought that if they were made into moon cakes, they would be even more delicious."
Shen Tianli glanced at his wife, wondering why he didn't know there was such a snack. If there were, his wife would definitely give it to him as soon as possible.
However, the daughter-in-law said that what she saw during her medical tour was exactly what she saw during her medical tour.
