Guozijian little cook

The Empress Dowager naturally also noticed the ice skin mooncakes, and now that Yan Xingxuan praised them, she felt that this crystal clear and fragrant little fat man looked even more delicious.

She took a sip first, it was soft, glutinous and sweet, with a strong milky fragrance.

After the queen mother finished eating, her eyes lit up.

When the pork is braised in brown sauce, it only feels fresh, and the taste is indeed different from that of Yuchu.

However, moon cakes are two completely different feelings.

If the braised pork is just a light breeze blowing in her heart, then the moon cake, like the sun, shone warmly on her heart, making it impossible for the Queen Mother to ignore the aroma and sweetness that brought her surprise and joy.

No wonder, Xiao Shiliu always wanted to run over there.

Not to mention whether or not she likes the girl from the Xiao family, but this delicious food...

That's tempting enough.

Coincidentally, Xiaoliu is good at food, and the other party has such skills.

The queen mother felt that this wave was made by Xiao Shiliu!
However, Xiao Nianzhi is still in the period of filial piety after all, the queen mother is not going to discuss too much, so as not to spread some bad rumors afterwards, which will be detrimental to the little girl.

Whether it was the information from the investigation or the inquiry of Zheng Qingran before, the Empress Dowager was very satisfied with Xiao Nianzhi.

Now that I have eaten this moon cake, I am more satisfied.

The queen mother was amazed, and then praised a few words, and quickly changed the subject.

Everyone also talked about other things knowingly.

Although Yan Xingxuan wanted to show off, he also knew that too much was too much.

Therefore, everyone stopped teasing, and he didn't specifically say anything, just enjoyed the food quietly, and made a note in his heart of which one he thought was delicious, before going back out of the palace, let the imperial dining room do it, and he took it out!

While everyone was eating and drinking, His Majesty was leading a group of officials busy in the outfield of the Ministry of Industry.

In addition to the officials from the Ministry of Industry, most of the officials from relevant departments such as Shanglin Yuan Supervisor and Si Nong Supervisor were also called out.

If we work together, the efficiency will be higher.

The large-scale autumn harvest is rice, millet, corn and the like.

Especially corn, although today's yield per mu is not as good as that of later generations, but compared to other crops, it has really worked hard.

So, come on!
After watching the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Nianzhi got into the delicious kitchen to fool around with the experience for most of the day.

It was really a piece of melon skin that was not spared, and they were all boiled into soup.

After working for a long time, her delicious kitchen has finally been upgraded to level seven! ! !
[Congratulations on reaching level seven, unlocking a new scene: study room (initial four square meters)]

……

Although the four-square-meter study is not too big, it can hold a lot of books.

After being pleasantly surprised, Xiao Nianzhi plunged in.

After looking at it for a long time, he came out with his eyes rolling in circles again.

Regarding those advanced knowledge, Xiao Nianzhi just wanted to say: I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm a scumbag who doesn't deserve it!
However, a lot of books on agriculture have been published.

Afterwards, as the level increases, the area of ​​the study will increase, and more and more books will be unlocked.

Existing books cover all aspects of agriculture.

Including pigs, chickens, rabbits and the like.

After Xiao Nianzhi finished reading it, she just felt...

Well, how about, eat saliva chicken tomorrow?
But compared to drooling, what she needs to consider now is...

Is it time to start paying back the gift to Yan Xingxuan?

Thinking of noodles, Xiao Nianzhi conducted a wave of experiments in the delicious kitchen first, warming up his hands, so that when he goes to the academy tomorrow, if he has free time, he can do all kinds of complicated pre-steps.

The other ingredients were used up by Xiao Nianzhi, but there are still a lot of flour and rice.

So, get on it.

Xiao Nianzhi still remembers the formula that is more convenient for him because he has worked on small items before.

The main ingredients of noodles are flour and glutinous rice flour.

If there are preservatives, the two are a ratio.

If there is no preservative, the two are another ratio.

The current situation is that without preservatives, there is no way to keep fresh for a long time.

But the problem is not big, does not affect the production.

Xiao Nianzhi chose a relatively simple formula, which only needed flour, glutinous rice flour, honey and salt.

In fact, if there is glycerin, the final dough will have better extensibility.

Although the study room has been unlocked, the extraction of glycerin is very troublesome. If you wait for this raw material, then it will be good if you can give this gift back next year.

Therefore, it is enough to use existing materials.

Kneading noodles and steaming noodles is the easiest two steps. After that, you have to be silent for more than 20 hours, waiting for the flour to harden, so that it will be more convenient and convenient to knead and knead the noodles afterwards.

Of course, in order to ensure the moisture of the flour and the subsequent ductility, it is necessary to add sesame oil or vegetable oil with a lighter taste before the silence.

These pre-steps are actually quite simple.

The trouble is that...

Toning.

In modern times, all kinds of food coloring can be searched online and purchased at any time.

Now if you want to use it, you have to extract it from every plant and tree in nature.

Fortunately for Xiao Nian weaving, she has studied food coloring and knows what colors can be extracted from many materials.

She was going to give Yan Xingxuan a table of delicacies, so there were so many colors involved.

Whether it can be extracted is still unknown.

She made a list of the materials that she probably needed, and planned to buy them on the way back to the academy tomorrow and try them out when she went back.

After finishing the work, the dough needs to work hard in silence, so Xiao Nianzhi had nothing to do for the time being, so he simply tidied up and went to sleep.

At this time, everyone in the outfield of the Ministry of Industry, including His Majesty, is still researching and busy.

The blacksmithing team and the carpentry team were all in place. At this time, the lights on the outfield were like daylight, and there was a lot of noise.

And Xiao Nianzhi has slowly fallen asleep.

Another day, the weather is still good.

Xiao Nianzhi got up early, and after Walnut helped her to wash and wash, she even gestured to her: "Master didn't return home yesterday."

Uncle didn't come back?
Is this an all-night job?

Xiao Nianzhi was thinking uncertainly, but these things, she probably couldn't get anything out of it by asking Walnut, so she just nodded: "Well, I'll tell the second brother and the others later."

Xiao Siye didn't come back. Although Xiao Qing didn't share the same academy with them, he still made it along the way.

Therefore, the three brothers and sisters took a carriage together.

On the way, Xiao Nianzhi asked Uncle Zheng to help him buy some things.

Xiao Zhou looked at it, and quickly asked in a low voice: "Is my sister's money enough? Second brother has some..."

While speaking, Xiao Zhou had already started to take out his money bag.

Xiao Qing took a look, although he was also shy, but he still had some money, so he followed suit.

Xiao Nianzhi took a look and hurriedly stopped him: "Second brother, third brother, don't don't, I still have some here, and the rewards from His Majesty and the eldest princess have not been used up yet."

Hearing this, the Xiao family brothers who were touching the money bag stopped their hands together and their expressions froze.

Three shifts
