Guozijian little cook

These things, investigation and processing, were barely completed until the first month of the year.

Recently, the capital has been under martial law and the palace is also under strict control.

Xiao Nianzhi has been in the Queen Mother's small Buddhist hall since she was sixteen. Except for the fact that Her Majesty sends people to ask questions about what happened at that time, she rarely goes out.

Yan Xingxuan has not left recently and is staying in the Queen Mother's Palace every day.

Go back to your own place to sleep at night, get up early in the morning to say hello, and then stand guard outside the small Buddhist hall, for fear of running into what happened before.

Aunt Yu also came to the palace. She went to the Xiao Mansion a few years ago and then went to the palace to celebrate the New Year.

On the first day of the new year, because there were sheep giving birth at Zhuangzi, Aunt Yu was worried. Then she hurried out of the palace and followed Xiao Nianzhi directly to the palace and missed it.

The master and apprentice had only seen each other for the first month of the year.

After that, the palace was under control, and Aunt Yu waited until the 26th before entering the palace.

Don't worry about Xiao Nianzhi, Aunt Yu never left.

Because he is an old man in the palace, both the Queen Mother and Her Majesty can trust him, so now that he has entered the palace, he is directly sent to assist the queen in cleaning up the harem.

On February [-], after the dragon raises its head, the entire first month is truly over.

Xiao Nianzhi also prayed and recited sutras for Xiao's father for half a month, and then officially came out of the small Buddhist hall.

The Queen Mother looked at the little girl, who had obviously lost a lot of weight after being a vegetarian for the past half month, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

Yan Xingxuan felt even more distressed.

The little girl had been assassinated before and almost abducted, and then went to pray for blessings.

After suffering so much and suffering so many sins, why don’t you make amends for yourself?

The Queen Mother first asked the imperial doctor to check Xiao Nianzhi's pulse, and she felt relieved after knowing that she was in good health.

Although Yan Xingxuan wanted to mend Xiao Nian's weaving, he was reminded by the imperial doctor that his diet had been light recently and he was eating too much meat and fish at first, and his body might not be able to bear it.

No matter how anxious Yan Xingxuan was, he could only take his time.

On the fifth day of February, Xiao Nianzhi returned to Qinglan Palace from the Queen Mother's Palace.

Because the matter is still under investigation, Xiao Nianzhi cannot leave yet.

Unable to leave the palace and get cement, Xiao Nianzhi had no choice but to discuss with Yan Xingxuan to see if they should get some lipstick or something.

Yan Xingxuan also knew that it was pointless to stay in the palace, so Xiao Nianzhi said that he would prepare the materials immediately.

The main materials of lipstick are: beeswax and vegetable oil.

Among them, olive oil has a relatively small taste, and others will be worse. But if it is not available, there is no substitute, such as almond oil, which can also be used.

Although the amount extracted is small, you can still extract it if you want.

Moreover, the taste is relatively sweet.

However, today there is no operation to extract oil from almonds.

When it comes to vegetable oil extraction, soybeans, peanuts and rapeseed are mostly used.

In this case, Xiao Nianzhi needs to make almond oil by himself.

Of course, in addition to vegetable oil, vitamin E is also inevitable in order to ensure better hydration and moisture and facilitate antisepsis.

Vitamin E is divided into natural and chemically synthesized. As soon as you hear it, you will know that natural is definitely better.

However, the natural ones are also more difficult to extract.

Xiao Nianzhi also learned from the books in the study that the vitamin E content in wheat germ is quite high, and the operation to extract it is not complicated.

Before the materials were ready, Xiao Nianzhi was busy working on the corresponding extraction tools.

After writing down the names of the things needed and the corresponding drawings, and handing them over to Yan Xingxuan's bodyguard, Xiao Nianzhi called Silan over.

The sixth day of February is Yan Xingxuan’s birthday.

Although he is trapped in the palace now, birthdays still have to be celebrated.Last year, Yan Xingxuan asked himself if he would have a gift for his birthday, and Xiao Nianzhi agreed.

You can't make a mistake now, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi began to think about what kind of gift he should give?

Food must be prepared, but is it just food?
That is certainly not enough.

But for other gifts, one day is not enough.

In fact, Xiao Nianzhi has been thinking about this matter for the past few days. He also thought about this when he was not chanting sutras in the small Buddhist hall.

Of course, she not only thought about it, but also made some.

After picking and picking some of them, I finally picked one that I was barely satisfied with.

Now we need some skeletons and the like to assemble it into a finished product, and then we need to check the final finished product.

The production process of this gift is quite troublesome, and because of the limited conditions, the final effect will definitely not be as amazing as in modern times.

Even so, Xiao Nianzhi still prepared seriously.

She also deliberately sent Yan Xingxuan away today to leave enough time to prepare gifts.

Yan Xingxuan also had some vague guesses in his heart.

After all, how could he not remember his birthday in another day?

Time passed quickly as Xiao Nianzhi was busy.

In the evening, she took out the gift she had received after working all day and tried it out.

Isatis exclaimed on the side, finding it very interesting.

After Xiao Nianzhi read it, he was not particularly satisfied.

If it weren't for the difficulty of being distracted at the small Buddhist hall before, in fact, if it were made earlier, the effect might be better.

But today's conditions are like this, and we can't force too much.

I hope Yan Xingxuan likes this gift, right?
After seeing the finished product, Xiao Nianzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, Xiao Nianzhi thought she would not sleep well, but in fact, she slept very well.

Afterwards, when I woke up, I was in good spirits.

As soon as she got up early in the morning, she started to clean up.

Today is Yan Xingxuan’s birthday. Gifts need to be prepared, as well as corresponding delicacies, right?

In fact, she doesn’t really need to prepare the food.

Because the Queen Mother had prepared a family banquet and specially sent someone to invite Xiao Nianzhi to attend.

Xiao Nianzhi carefully wrapped the gifts that he had prepared, and then packed them up again. Before going out, he checked them carefully and found that he could not make a mistake in his outfit, so he was ready to go out.

As soon as she went out, she saw that Yan Xingxuan was already waiting for her in the courtyard. He just didn't want her to be anxious and make mistakes again, so he never reminded her.

Today's Yan Xingxuan has obviously dressed up carefully. The rich purple gown and purple jade hairpin add a bit of nobility to his whole person and make him look more dignified.

However, the moment he saw Xiao Nianzhi, all his dignity was gone. He grinned, revealing his big white teeth. He looked inexplicably silly, but it made Xiao Nianzhi feel the softest. of sincerity.

She couldn't help but laugh too, and saluted Yan Xingxuan slightly: "Happy birthday, brother, may everything go as you wish every year."

The little girl's voice was soft and full of laughter.

Yan Xingxuan was originally in a good mood when he got up early, but after seeing Xiao Nianzhi, he felt even better.

At this time, when I heard this beautiful blessing again, I always felt that what my sweetheart said was different from what others said.

Although what others said had good words and sentences and good blessings, they were not as nice as what Xiao Nianzhi said.

He was already grinning, smiling a little silly.

Hearing these words again, he smiled even more stupidly, but he still did not forget to take two steps forward and asked softly and gently: "Did you bring the stove? Did you bring any spare clothes?" (End of this chapter)
