Guozijian little cook

Yan Xingxuan stayed there all night, and then changed with the others the next day and went to the Prince's Palace to rest temporarily.

On Xiao Nianzhi's side, he woke up early and was packing up the soaked peach gum.

After soaking my hair yesterday, I tidied it up.

After soaking in water overnight, the remaining impurities are cleaned again, and the peach gum becomes particularly clean.

After cleaning it up, he took out the white fungus that had been soaked. After cleaning it, he could tear it into small pieces and add it to the pot with peach gum and rock sugar, and simmer slowly over low heat.

If you want to boil out the gelatin, you need to cook slowly over low heat.

In order to enhance the sweetness, you can also add some dried fruits and the like later.

The most classic one is raisins. If you don’t have them, other dried fruits can also be used. After soaking in water for a while and washing them, put them in as time goes by.

Because dried fruits do not need to be simmered for a long time, the texture and taste will be better if you add them later.

Xiao Nianzhi was not in a hurry to let go now. He turned around and followed Sister-in-law Guo to make small balls.

When making peach gum yesterday, Xiao Nianzhi had already thought about the sweet soup he would make today.

Peach gum and white fungus dumplings.

Soft, sticky and sweet, your mood may change after eating it, right?
Anyway, when Xiao Nianzhi is unhappy, he likes to cook sweet soup for himself.

I always feel that if the taste is sweeter in the stomach, it will affect the heart, and then people will seem to get a lot better.

For the small glutinous rice balls, Xiao Nianzhi did not prepare any particularly complicated ingredients. One type was steamed pumpkin and colored, and the other type directly used matcha powder.

When the time comes, yellow and green will overlap in a bowl, with a bit of deep peach gum in the powder, and white fungus with a slight yellow tint...

Just looking at the color, I think this sweet soup looks delicious.

The so-called color, phase and taste, color is the first level.

It only makes people want to taste it if it looks good.

Therefore, this color is still very important.

After the small balls are rolled, put the dried fruits in them.

Then Xiao Nianzhi went to cook glutinous rice balls first.

You have to boil it until it is raw, and then cook it with the sweet soup, so that it will taste better.

Otherwise, the glutinous rice flour hanging on the surface of the dumplings will easily affect the taste of the sweet soup itself.

After the glutinous rice balls are cooked, run them through cold water to better prevent them from sticking.

Peach gum and white fungus need to be simmered over low heat for about half an hour.

Xiao Nianzhi saw that the time was almost up, so he put the small glutinous rice balls that had been washed with cold water into the pot, and after boiling for about a cup of tea, the sweet soup was ready.

Sister-in-law Guo is preparing breakfast on the other side.

Simple mung bean porridge with xiaolongbao.

Xiao Nianzhi guided her to prepare the filling, and Sister-in-law Guo was particularly satisfied with it.

However, after smelling the sweet soup...

Hey?
Why don’t the buns I made smell delicious?

Aunt Yu didn't sleep well last night, but she has to go to the palace to burn incense today.

So, even though I was not in good spirits, I still got up.

Aunt Yu didn't want to have breakfast originally.

However, when she was packing up and getting ready to leave, Xiao Nianzhi brought sweet soup.

It’s a dessert that Aunt Yu can’t refuse!

Then she drank a small bowl of sweet soup.

Soft and chewy, yet sweet and delicious.

Aunt Yu's brows relaxed a lot.

Xiao Nianzhi knew she was entering the palace and specially prepared a small bowl.

Let her rest her belly for a while before sending the other person out.

Seeing Aunt Yu's carriage go away, Xiao Nianzhi sighed softly.

Life is easy to pass away, and sometimes it is actually an irreversible and helpless thing.

Some people dispersed while walking.

After Xiao Nianzhi saw too many separations between life and death, he slowly understood the meaning of this sentence.

However, she didn't have much time to worry about this.

Because grandpa has already come over.He seemed to be afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he calmly comforted her with a few words.

Seeing his grandfather's cautious appearance, Xiao Nianzhi shook his head helplessly: "I'm fine, grandpa, I'm just a little sentimental."

Thinking that July would be his mother's memorial day, Xiao Nianzhi wanted to ask, but hesitated.

However, Grandpa Feng was now quite open-minded. He looked into the distance and said softly: "It's July now, and it's time for the Western Moon Festival."

Xiao Nianzhi was not sure what his grandfather was thinking, so he thought for a while before tentatively asking: "Grandpa, do we want to go back to Chenzhou?"

Xiao's mother was buried in Chenzhou.

If grandpa wants, they can go back.

I think Your Majesty can understand why he gave me a holiday, right?

Grandpa is actually very moved, but his current body...

I really can't help but toss.

It doesn't matter if he is on his own, if he really finds his daughter, he will have to crawl over to see where she is sleeping now.

But now he has a granddaughter.

Grandpa Feng felt that he had more things to consider now.

You can't be so willful when you are alone.

Therefore, when Xiao Nianzhi asked him, he hesitated.

After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Let's take a look at the situation."

If his body allowed it, he would actually still want to take a look.

He hadn't seen his daughter for many years. Even if it was a grave, he still wanted to take a look.

After hearing what grandpa meant, I actually had some thoughts in my heart.

Xiao Nianzhi understood and asked no more questions.

Concubine Sun stayed in mourning in her Shou'an Palace for seven days.

Seven days later, all the officials in the capital went to offer incense and worship.

After that, Qin Tian monitors the auspicious day and time and sends the person to the imperial mausoleum for burial.

Seven days later, it was already July.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter.

Because the palace has the habit of storing ice in winter, and Xiao Nianzhi has restored the method of making ice.

Therefore, even if the weather is hot, there are enough ice cubes, so the coffin does not have much smell when it is placed in Shou'an Hall.

After Xiao Nianzhi and the others came over to offer incense, they could leave.

After all, it is just a concubine. If His Majesty does not value her, even the step of paying homage to the officials can be omitted.

When Xiao Nianzhi went to pay homage, he saw Yan Xingxuan, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The other party looked quite haggard, and he must have been busy with vigils recently.

Xiao Nianzhi felt a little distressed, but he couldn't give much comfort at this time.

After just a quick glance, he quickly followed the team of officials and walked out.

Naturally, Yan Xingxuan also saw Xiao Nianzhi.

This is probably a rare sweet moment in these miserable days.

Yan Xingxuan felt that his mood had improved a lot, and the eyebrows that were originally slightly tight also relaxed a little.

The death of Sun Taibin did not have much impact on the daily life of the capital.

However, although there is no ban on entertainment in the capital, everyone has consciously kept a low profile.

Because of the summer weather, Sun Taibin's coffin did not stay in the Shou'an Hall for too long and was quickly delivered to the imperial mausoleum.

As for when the burial will take place, Qintian Prison also tried its best to calculate the nearest date.

Everything in the palace slowly returned to normal.

Everything in the capital seemed to be unaffected.

However, in the palace, the Queen Mother fell ill after Concubine Sun's coffin was delivered to the imperial mausoleum.

Yan Xingxuan is waiting in the palace and cannot come out for the time being.

Xiao Nianzhi started to pack up and prepare to go back to Chenzhou to pay homage to Xiao's mother.
