Chapter 52 - mold, subtle atmosphere
“What are you doing?” Gao Shen leaned against the mud wall and asked curiously.
Jing Qingxin raised a smile and said, “Make a cake model.”
“Pastry model?” Gao Shen looked puzzled. He never knew what other models of cakes were, but he didn’t find it strange that she said it.
“That’s right. In fact, the shape of the pastry can also have many shapes, not just square or round.” Jing Qing answered carefully, her hands still busy kneading the dough.
“Oh? I haven’t seen any other shapes of pastries. Let me knead the dough!” Gao Shen looked at Jing Qingxin’s thin arms and kneaded the dough with difficulty, worried that she was weak and tired.
Jing Qing said worriedly: “But your legs can’t stand for a long time, especially your left foot. You can’t use too much force now.”
“It’s okay, I’ll find a small piece of wood to hold my left foot, so I don’t need to force it.” Gao Shen reassured.
“That’s good.” Jing Qing answered with a hearty heart, but she didn’t push back any more. For kneading the dough, her arms were too weak, and it would be more fun for everyone to participate together. She didn’t want Gao Shen to be bored all the time. house.
Besides, Gao Shen’s legs have gradually improved. As long as you don’t move around violently, it won’t have much impact. Thinking of this, Jing Qing’s heart is calm.
Gao Shen found two pieces of wood, washed his hands, and then took the dough in Jing Qing’s heart. Just now, he discovered that the color of the dough was actually a touch of pink?
Gao Shen couldn’t help asking in surprise, “Why is this dough pink?”
For people of this age, there are too few colors for them, just a few dull colors, but compared to the 1950s and 1960s, it is much better. At least there are many trees, flowers and plants now. , people can still see many colorful colors, if it is a famine era, not to mention bright flowers, not even grass.
“Hehe, of course, something was added in it~ You can hear it.” Jing Qing said with a proud and mysterious expression.
Gao Shen approached and sniffed lightly. Suddenly, a faint floral fragrance entered his nose. Gao Shen raised his head and asked, “Peach blossom?”
Gao Shen’s expression was a little surprised, but he was not very sure, and his eyes asked Jing Qingxin.
“Haha~ You have a very smart nose. Yes, it’s peach blossoms. I’m going to make ‘peach blossom cakes’.” Jing Qing said with a smile.
“Can peach blossoms also be made into cakes?” Gao Shen couldn’t help but asked curiously, he had never heard of it anyway.
While printing the dough made earlier, Jing Qingxin replied, “Of course, many flowers can be made into cakes.”
“Have you been to the mountains?” Gao Shen asked loudly. It was the season of fragrant April in April. There should be some wild fruit trees blooming in the mountains, but he wondered when she went to pick them? !
Before Jing Qingxin could answer, Gao Shen sternly exhorted: “Although there are no ferocious beasts in the mountains, there are still some huge wild boars and the like. You girls, it’s best not to go to the mountains if you have nothing to do, it’s very dangerous!”
Hearing this, Jing Qing was slightly startled. It was the first time she saw Gao Shen speak to her with such a serious expression, but she could hear the concern in his words, and then smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we didn’t go to the mountains.”
“Then how did you come to Peach Blossom?” Gao Shen asked.
“I brought it. In our place, the petals can be purified to make peach blossom juice. I brought a small bottle. I just mixed it with the flour, and naturally there is a peach blossom fragrance.” Jing Qingxin replied with a natural look. Dao, the answer is very natural, it seems to be a very common thing.
“Oh. Then you still have to remember, don’t go into the mountains.” Hearing Jing Qingxin’s explanation, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
For Gao Shen, if Jing Qing said she knew magic or something, he would believe it, because she was so different in his heart, no matter what she said or did, he felt can be accepted.
“Well, I see~” Jing Qing lowered her head and replied casually, but she pressed her hands hard one by one, and instantly a flower-shaped dough appeared.
“Gao Shen, take a look~ Isn’t she beautiful?” Jing Qing asked with a sullen expression.
Gao Shen looked up, not at the peach blossom dough on the table, but at Jing Qing’s heart with a smile on his face, he only felt his heart tighten slightly.
Holding the emotions in his heart, looking at the white flour stained on the pretty face, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, Gao Shen naturally stretched out his right hand and stroked Jing Qingxin’s face, and suddenly felt the fine skin with his fingertips. slip.
The smile at the corner of Jing Qingxin’s mouth stopped for a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at the person standing in front of her, who was a lot taller than herself. She saw that the other party’s expression was soft, his eyes were focused, and his fingertips were even more gentle on his face.
The sudden action made Jing Qingxin feel a little helpless, and even her heart beat a few times faster. The two worked together to make cakes. They were originally next to each other, but at this moment, Jing Qingxin felt that the two were getting closer. And the masculine breath that Gao Shen exudes rushed directly to her face, making her heartbeat more cheerful.
Jing Qing felt that she could hear her own ‘thump thump’ heartbeat. She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. This kind of feeling made her feel very strange, with a trace of inexplicable joy? !
Gao Shen wiped off the flour, and suddenly noticed that Jing Qing’s expression was unclear, and then he reacted to his actions. In an instant, his expression became subtle, and he quickly explained in a soft voice, “You have flour on your face.”
“Oh.” Jing Qing felt that her cheeks were slightly hot, especially the cheeks that she just touched deeply.
Afterwards, Gao Shen turned his gaze to the peach blossom dough on the table, his eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, “How is this done? It can be done like this, just like a flower.”
The subtle atmosphere of Shicai disappeared with Gao Shen’s amazement, and Jing Qingxin’s attention was immediately diverted by Gao Shen.
Jing Qing shook the mold in her hand and said proudly: “Rely on this, the mold! It’s very simple, find a piece of wood, carve it into the shape of a flower with a knife, then hollow out the middle to deepen the thickness, and then just put the dough on it. Extrude it in the mold and fix the shape.”
“That’s it?” Gao Shen couldn’t help being stunned, it was so simple.
“Yes! Do you want to try?” Jing Qing asked with a smile.
“Well.” Gao Shen was eager to try.
Jing Qing looked at Gao Shen’s actions with a funny heart. It was normal for Gao Shen to be surprised. It didn’t mean that people in this era were not smart. After a few years, the general environment will be better, and people’s spiritual level will be enriched.
