Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 213 Sea Snake Skewers

"You don't know, it was very difficult at the beginning. The fire looked strong, but after a while, the problem was exposed. The ingredients close to the fire quickly turned black and smoked, while those on the edges were still half-cooked.

We also dismantled and reassembled it, and finally we have the oven."

Amin was looked at with admiration by Sanchuan, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

Xu Yiyi gave Sihai a look, and he quickly ran to the cash box and took out some money.

The daily wage of the bricklayer outside is one hundred coins.

It took A Ming seven days to come, so Xu Yiyi gave him 750 coins.

The remaining fifty cents were considered as rewards given by Xu Yi Yi.

But the money was very hot and Amin didn't dare to take it.

"Hey! Brother Ming, just take it. It's what you should take."

As Xu Yiyi said this, she was about to stuff the purse into Amin's hand.

"Yiyi, this oven just took some time to build. It's not a big deal. Consider it my help to my sister. I won't charge you."

A Ming quickly waved his hands and said to Xu Yiyi with a silly smile.

"This involves mixing mud and laying bricks. Just like Sanchuan said, it's easy to install and remove, and then install again. It doesn't require much effort. Although I'm young, I understand the principle of reward for hard work. If you don't accept it, I'll feel really bad."

A Ming glanced at A Niang casually and saw that her attitude was unclear.

Waved again.

"Don't look at your mother, this is what you should take."

Xu Yiyi said this and directly stuffed the money into Amin's hand.

"Alright, alright, I've taken it. I'll help your sister more in the future."

Aunt Arong did not forget to give some advice.

Amin had a shy smile on his dark face.

……

"Now that the oven is ready, can we eat roast duck?"

Lao Lu suddenly popped up with excitement in his eyes.

A few days ago, I heard Xu Yiyi talking about roast duck and I was so hungry.

"Yes, yes! Big sister, if you don't do it now, the duck will starve and become thin."

Sihai pointed at the quacking ducks in the duck cage, his eyes shining.

"Since you all said so, we must eat roast duck tonight!"

Xu Yiyi said happily, pointing at Xu Anyang to go out and buy a load of fruit trees.

Wait until the firewood comes back and start grilling.

"This oven is ready now. I'll bake mooncakes for you during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Xu Yiyi said casually, looking carefully at the oven in front of him.

Sihai jumped to her side like a lively little bird, his eyes wide open, staring at the oven and asking curious questions.

"Sister, you said this oven can bake mooncakes, but I usually see that the mooncakes sold outside are steamed. How can this be baked? Is this oven really so magical that anything can be stuffed into it?"

The child was so curious that he almost couldn't help but stick his head in to take a look.

Unexpectedly, this intention was noticed by Sanchuan, who directly pulled the little brat behind him.

Xu Yiyi was instantly amused. She raised her hand and tapped Sihai's head, explaining with a smile.

"You only know one side of the story."

At this time, most mooncakes are steamed.

But that doesn’t mean there’s no baking.

Baking does not mean putting it in the oven, but putting it on a small stove.

Put an iron net on the fire, just like making tea around the stove.

It's not very fashionable here.

The steamed mooncakes are the same as those that children have eaten. The flour is kneaded into dough, and the fillings are added to form a ball and then steamed in a steamer.

After all, it’s not as delicious as the one baked.

“Mooncakes can be prepared in a variety of ways, steamed for a soft and glutinous texture, or baked for a crispy texture.

The oven has a high temperature and even fire. Wrap the dough with the filling, shape it into mooncakes and put it in. After a while, the outer skin is golden and fragrant, and the filling inside is warm and sweet, which is a little more delicious than steaming.

As Xu Yi spoke, he simulated the baking movements with his hands.

Sihai listened with a round mouth, nodded as if he understood, then tilted his head to ask further questions.

"Then what else can be baked but not steamed, or steamed but not baked?"

Xu Yiyi thought for a moment, then told the story while counting on his fingers.

"For example, the steamed buns we often eat are naturally better when steamed, with a soft skin and delicious filling. But this barbecued meat has to be roasted, sizzling with oil and full of fragrance. If it is steamed, it will lose its flavor."

Sihai was listening intently, and his little hand unconsciously touched his belly, showing his greed.

I couldn't help swallowing.

"Of course, you can bake buns, but you have to be careful about the heat. They're completely different from steamed buns..."

Xu Yiyi suddenly remembered something and spoke quickly.

"What's it like?"

Sanchuan and Sihai spoke in unison, and Lao Lu, who was sitting beside them, almost drooled.

"When it comes to baking buns, the key is the heat. The charcoal fire shouldn't be too strong, but should be kept warm, otherwise the bun skin will burn. The buns will be crispy on the outside and warm on the inside, with a unique flavor that will make you want to eat more."

Xu Yiyi said this unkindly.

It made several people greedy.

"You sound like it's real? Have you ever eaten it?"

Lao Lu asked casually, and Xu Yiyi was stuck for a moment.

"Never mind me. Just wait."

Xu Yiyi said this very proudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Er'er walking back with A Yue, looking a little flustered.

"What happened to my second sister? What happened to my master?"

Sihai was amazed at first sight.

The master's face was pale and he looked lifeless.

When Xu Yiyi saw this, he hurried forward to take A Yue over.

When I got closer and took a closer look, I saw that Ah Yue's face was as pale as paper, without any blood, her lips were slightly purple, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down her forehead, her body was shaking, and she was obviously in great pain.

Er'er held her tightly, his arms trembling slightly from the exertion, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.

"Master treated Ayue's brain, but I don't know what she remembered. She turned out like this."

Er Er said anxiously.

"Then why don't you just stay in the clinic? Why are you coming back like this?"

Xu Yiyi's face was full of concern as she helped A Yue back into the house.

"Ayue doesn't want to be there, so there's nothing I can do."

Mr. Wu followed in right after him.

Er'er's "senior brother" was also standing at the door.

"When Ah Yue was playing in the clinic, she bumped her head for some reason. She said she thought of something and kept complaining about a headache. Master came to see her."

Er'er felt a little guilty, if she hadn't kept an eye on it.

Ah Yue wouldn't have hit her head on the stone bench.

"Then the master gave her a few injections. Ah Yue seemed to recall more things and it seemed to be more painful."

Er'er wiped the sweat off A Yue's face with a handkerchief, saying this with some heartache.

"Her brain has been injured for a long time, and the blood is blocked. Only acupuncture can relieve the pain and restore her memory. If it is delayed any further, she will probably become a fool for the rest of her life."

Mr. Wu spoke bluntly.

"I'll write her a prescription first, and then I'll get some medicine for her to drink. It will at least ease her pain."

After saying this, Mr. Wu asked Sihai to go back with him.

As soon as everyone left, A Yue fell asleep.

……

When I woke up again, I didn't remember anything.

Just like a normal person.

As soon as I woke up, I played with snowballs.

"Ayue, does your head still hurt?"

Er'er sat down beside the bed and watched.

The warm sunlight shines through the window lattice and into the house.

A Yue was staring at Snowball in her arms with empty eyes, her fingers unconsciously pulling at Snowball's hair.

She kept muttering to herself in a way that no one could understand. Er'er, who was standing beside her, looked at her like this and her eyes turned red.

He asked softly again: "Ayue, does your head hurt?"

Er'er's voice was like a belated alarm bell, finally awakening A Yue's confused consciousness.

In an instant, a sharp pain exploded from the forehead, as if countless silver needles were stirring in the brain.

She suddenly covered her head with her hands, her brows furrowed, her knuckles turned white from the force, and her lips trembled unconsciously.

But even though she was trembling with pain, her eyes still showed a bit of confusion.

Her face still had that silly look, but the tears sliding down her eyes revealed her pain at the moment.

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

Seeing this, Er'er became extremely anxious and hurried forward.

He held A Yue's hand tightly and asked with concern in his eyes.

"Ayue, do you remember anything?"

A Yue raised her head slightly, her eyes revealing confusion and ignorance.

Snowball jumped between the two of them, climbed onto the cabinet, and licked his fur.

A Yue looked at Er Er, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't say anything, just kept shaking her head.

The hair that was originally neatly combed became messy with her movements. A few strands of hair stuck to her sweaty cheeks, making her look embarrassed and helpless.

"Er Er, don't ask."

Xu Yiyi came in with a bowl of medicine and felt distressed when she saw A Yue's painful appearance.

He turned to look at Er'er, shook his head slightly, and signaled with his eyes.

"Don't ask any more questions for now. Ah Yue can't handle the shock yet. Let her take her time and wait for her to recover little by little."

Er'er bit her lower lip, her eyes red. Although she was full of worry, she could only nod silently in agreement.

After saying that, A Yue suddenly threw herself into Xu Yiyi's arms.

Her brows were still furrowed, and the pain in her head made her a little dazed.

She stroked A Yue's back, coaxing her to drink the medicine.

"It's bitter... too bitter. I want to vomit."

A Yue said aggrievedly, covering her mouth and looking at Xu Yiyi.

"Master bought some candied fruit for you."

At the door, Sihai's small figure stood quietly, his eyes fixed.
