32 Frosty Sweet Potatoes
Ping'er felt annoyed, ashamed and irritable. When she left the house, she felt that the suffocating smell of wine was everywhere in the courtyard. Remembering Wang Xifeng's instructions, she simply picked up her skirt and went out to look for the attacker.
As he walked, the image of Jia Lian as a drunkard lingered in his mind, and he became more and more angry. He had to force himself to think about what else he had missed today.
The second mistress said that Xiren had specially set up this trap for Qingwen, but now he let a little girl push it directly in front of the old lady. Whether this little girl really knew the ropes or she was a mistake, it was enough to show that Xiren is now
Act impetuously.
Looking at the sweet-osmanthus flowers placed beside the pillar, Ping'er couldn't help but be fascinated. Xiren and Qingwen turned out to be maids in the old lady's room, and later they were given to Master Bao to serve as servants. Qingwen still used the first one.
However, due to Baoyu's whim, Ke Xiren simply changed his name.
I thought that Ping'er also worked as a waiter for the girl, and now she was taken over by Mr. Lian... She couldn't think about this! Ping'er shook his head in the wind and sobered up for a moment.
Forcibly, Xi Ren's increasingly charming face appeared in his mind. If we talk about good color, Qingwen is one of the best in the Rongguo Mansion. Although Xi Ren is pretty, she is not good enough compared to Qingwen.
look.
Only the softness on her body is unmatched by others. Thinking about her own affairs, she knows that men like this kind of style the most. Is it possible that she wants to exclude others in Jiangyunxuan just because of this?
In addition, Ping'er was shocked when the second mistress said something about Qian Xue, and when she saw Xi Ren coming from a distance, her heart was even more panicked.
After the person left, I finally found my voice, which was still a little trembling, and asked softly: "It's so late, you... why are you here?"
"I didn't see the little maid all the way here. I couldn't find anyone to tell me, so I had to look for her myself? What's the matter? It's not convenient to see guests now?"
As a maid, the work she does is repetitive, so she naturally comes and goes frequently, so the friendship between her and her is unusual.
Ping'er endured the uproar and concealed his guilty conscience.
It's not that it's inconvenient, but just after I said that it's not good to attack someone, someone turned around and appeared in front of me. Who wouldn't be flustered? After looking around, I had to pull her to the quiet room in the lower courtyard where guests are treated.
go.
Xiren followed behind, looking at the road under her feet, thinking that just in time, she also had something to say to Ping'er, and it would be great to find a quiet place now.
"you"
"you……"
The two of them sat on their knees, Xi Ren was thinking about the reward in the evening, and Ping'er was thinking about the Second Grandma's words, so they both spoke together without realizing it.
"You say it first."
Ping'er has a gentle temperament and doesn't like to argue with others. He suffers from splints in the room every day, so he is more tolerant when talking and doing things. For example, now, even though he is dissatisfied with Xiren, he still gives her a cup of honey bird's nest.
water.
"Second Grandma has always been generous, and she is willing to give you such a precious bird's nest." Xiren wanted to say no tea, but he was afraid that he would not sleep well at night after drinking tea. You can see that the cup is crystal clear, and there are a few bright red seeds floating on it.
The wolfberry can't be seen clearly under the candlelight. I just thought it was ordinary sugar water, but when I put it in my mouth, I realized it was a bird's nest!
"It's just broken pieces left in the small kitchen. It's not easy to stew for grandma to eat. It's just for our benefit. If you like it, I'll make some for you." The ladies and grandmas in the mansion have the habit of drinking bird's nest every day.
It’s not like we can’t afford it at home, so we won’t serve something with a slightly inferior quality like this.
No need, Xiren said hurriedly.
There are also bird's nests in Jiangyunxuan. Baoyu is a man and does not like to eat them in daily life. Most of them are brought out to eat when the girls come over. They save a lot throughout the year, so the maids also use them.
Thinking that what he ate was Baoyu, Xiren felt a little comfortable and secretly happy.
Putting down the bird's nest, he talked about the purpose of his visit, "I can't make sense today. It's just that Qingwen went out to buy something and she got involved in so many chores. The little one in our courtyard didn't notice it on weekdays.
So successful. My dear sister, tell me, is it wrong for me to work like a mother?"
Ping'er saw Xi Ren talking more and more aggrieved and agitated, feeling extremely tormented and embarrassed in her heart. Then she remembered what her second mistress told her: "Ping'er, I see that Xi Ren seems to have been taken over by Bao Yu. There have been so many disturbances in recent days.
There are her charming shadows everywhere inside.
I also know that you two have been friends for a long time, and I am glad that you have found a good deal with her. It is a good thing to have many confidants in this house.
The only thing I can tell you is that if she carries her aunt in the future, we will all be able to take advantage of it. But if she is allowed to act in such a haphazard manner, I'm afraid there will be a dead end waiting for her ahead.
I can't control her seeking her own death, but if she brings trouble to us, I won't let her go!"
So he hesitated again and again before persuading him: "In my opinion, this matter was done right by mistake, but you don't have to take it to heart. The old lady was very generous and praised the harmony and beauty of your courtyard."
, I can only feel jealous when I see such a happy event. If it continues to be like this, won’t it be peaceful for thousands of years?”
As a servant, the reward from above shows that you are recognized for the errands you have done. Even if you feel that it is not perfect, mouth is a gift for people, and it is not a bad idea to praise one-third of the beauty into seven-points.
Seeing that Ping'er didn't go as he wanted, Xi Ren felt pity for her sincerely. She was caught between the master and his wife. Mr. Lian was not a pity person, and Mrs. Lian was a shrewd and jealous person. How could she
Is it possible to be happy working as an errand beside Baoyu?
Alas, thinking of this, Xiren couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that she didn't understand her own troubles.
So he started talking about other things in random directions, and soon the night chat ended.
Early the next morning, Yunzhu and Qiu Wen handed over the errands of the tea room and plunged into the kitchen to prepare for her great career as a sugar blower.
People who blow sugar should pay attention to the word "blowing".
Didn't you see, there are so many exquisite candy figures all in one breath and two fingers. If you want to eat it, of course you can blow it as much as you want with your lips, and pinch it with your hands as you want! The main theme is freedom and ease.
.
But now we have to make it seriously and give it away, but it can't be so rough. It's not only a matter of hygiene, but also the emphasis of wealthy families. A thing must have good intentions, an unusual way of doing it, and
There are mysterious and mysterious things to pay attention to!
For example, sesame sauce cabbage needs to be decorated with Qianlong's name, and pancakes and fruits need to be changed into Xiangfei rolls to sell better! You can't be asked, how do you make this? You reply: Simple! Just blow with your mouth! Squeeze with your hands.
!
Well, giving gifts becomes seeking revenge.
Yunzhu was drafting a draft, thinking about polishing the story about the origin of the candy he told Liu Ping the day before, into a more sophisticated and more bluffing story. He was also drawing a one-way valve on his hand, preparing to make an air bag to blow the candy man.
use.
Just as she was lost in thought, she heard someone outside shouting to her, "Sister Yunzhu, what do you mean by this sweet potato? Yesterday, my second mistress sent out this errand and asked me to ask your opinion!"
Looking at the tall and muscular maid, I cursed in my heart, what's the significance of this? Doesn't making maltose require selecting every grain of wheat? It just doesn't have to be bad.
Just when he was about to say this, the words rolled around on the tip of his tongue again, and he had an idea: "Good sister, it's a good thing you came to ask me, otherwise this matter can't be done, and the old lady will definitely question me!
Now that you are asking me, I will ask you to tell me that my sister must not dislike me. This is what my brother-in-law specifically told me. Listen carefully and do not tell others this secret.
This is such a good thing, it’s these little details that reveal the real story!
Just look for red-skinned sweet potatoes that were harvested before dark on the day of frost. The shape must be a standard spindle shape, without any scratches or any peculiar smell.
The most important thing is! It must be stored in the cellar without seeing the light for at least 7749 days, and it must not be opened to the wind before it can be purchased."
The rude sister originally carried the bamboo basket casually, but now it was carried solemnly on her shoulders. She repeated Yunzhu's words, and finally said: "Good guy, you are so particular, it's a good thing that I came to ask first."
You, otherwise it won’t be a big deal for the masters?”
Then he pulled Yunzhu and repeated it again. When he saw Yunzhu nodding seriously, Shi Shiran picked up the frame and walked out of the door.
Frosted sweet potatoes are sweeter. Short-term anaerobic storage conditions can accelerate glycogen accumulation and the sugar yield rate is higher. There is no peculiar smell, which makes it easier to add fragrance dew later. This statement is true and false. Use it.
It won't take long for the news to reach the ears of the masters.
The Rongguo Mansion is also considered a fashion trendsetter among the aristocratic circles in Beijing. As long as the Jia Mansion approves, the prescriptions left in Liu Ping's hands will surely be sold!
Suppressing the laughter in her heart, Yunzhu continued to turn around and draw the one-way valve, which is a bionics application derived from the intestines of sharks. There were similar things in ancient China, such as bellows for kitchens.
It's just that in today's era when you have to find a way to turn wood into fish intestines or animal skins. Everything is rubbed by hand, this thing is really difficult. The old lady simply didn't give her a time limit, but it would be a long night and a lot of dreams, so she had to do it quickly.
Good for a quick decision.
Sweet potatoes are an exotic species. Although local nobles also eat them, the problem of its gas production has not been solved. Therefore, many people clearly love its natural and sweet smell, but reject it due to the unsightly effect of aeration.
outside the door.
This has led many people to write negative reviews first when they smell the smell of sweet potatoes.
Boiling sweet potatoes into syrup has solved the problem of gas production. Now we are faced with how to cover up its smell.
The twelve auspicious beasts made the day before yesterday to please the old lady were made with the fragrant dew left over from making sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the kitchen. Now that the sugar-blower is under the command, it is not difficult to get another bottle of fragrant dew.
But in this case, wouldn't he have one less trump card?
It is March in the spring, and although the Northland is still desolate, the flowers in the greenhouse are already in full bloom. Looking around the side yard of the kitchen where I am, I have a room dedicated to making candies. Isn’t this the perfect place for flowers?
