I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 85 Housewarming Party 1
After all, it was Baoyu who was so narrow-minded.

Baoyu walked up to Yang Xi, bowed solemnly, and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Boss Yang, Baoyu thanks you for saving my life."

Yang Xi looked at this furry child and saw that it was a bit rough, but he was not a bad-hearted person.

He was patient enough and taught them like an elder brother, saying: "You are young and are no match for those people. If you encounter these things in the future, just be patient for the time being and wait until you find a helper before you take action. Otherwise, you are not You're lucky to meet me every time."

Baoyu blinked his bright black eyes, "Hey! I remember."

As soon as Yang Xiren walked away, Huzi immediately came forward and asked furtively: "Boss Yang, is this the man that Sister Chen Yu likes?"

Baoyu really admired her sister's way of looking at people. She raised her chin and said with a triumphant smile: "Yeah, how is it? She's a nice person."

"More than good?" Huzi pushed Baoyu's shoulder, "If Team Leader Yang becomes your brother-in-law in the future, you will be very powerful. With him as your backer, who has the courage to bully you? You will have to protect yourself more in the future. Us."

prestige?

Baoyu put away her smile and scolded him, "Bullying people with the back of power is something that Qian Rushan can do. I'm not a big bad guy like him, so why should I show off my authority?"

Huzi laughed and said, "It's just a joke, but it's not true."

Baoyu put away the money in annoyance, turned his head again, glared at Huzi and warned: "Hey, when you go back to the village, don't tell others about my sister and Team Leader Yang, especially your big-mouthed mother and sister-in-law. ."

Huzi was stunned by him, "Why can't you say this?"

Baoyu looked at the sky and said gloomily: "My sister and Bantou Yang have not yet settled the matter. No one knows whether they will succeed in the future. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, my sister is still a young girl who has not left the court. We cannot let it happen. Those gossips set her up and smeared her reputation. If this really gets out, you will be the first person I ask!"

Putting this into words, even if Huzi had ten courages, he would not dare to talk nonsense.

Thinking that they had earned 150 copper coins today, the two went to the meat stall in the vegetable market and bought a pound of meat before going home.

The white fungus, mung beans, lotus seeds and lilies had been soaked for more than an hour. They were almost done. Zhou Chenyu asked the kitchen girl to prepare three pots. He divided the white fungus into two parts and put the mung beans into the three pots and slowly cooked them. .

Then, Zhou Chenyu pitted the red dates, cut the papaya into pieces, and prepared the wolfberry for decoration.

Qingtuan is the key to the coconut milk sugar water of Qingtuan. Just like the steps of Qingtuan made during Qingming Festival, Zhou Chenyu first picked the mugwort, took the young leaves and put it in a pot of boiling water until soft.

Squeeze out excess water from the cooked mugwort, cut into fine pieces, mix into flour and mix evenly, knead into a light blue dough containing minced mugwort, cover the dough with a wet handkerchief, let it sit for half an hour, and then Cut it into strips the size of coconut kernels, cook in boiling water, and divide into several bowls.

Zhou Chenyu then removed the hard shell of the coconuts he bought, poured the coconut juice into a bowl containing green dumplings, cut off the white and tender coconut meat, and put a few ice cubes on it. A bowl of sweet but not greasy green dumplings. The coconut milk syrup is ready.

The green dumpling in the coconut milk and sugar water is the most troublesome to make. Once this problem is solved, the remaining three kinds of sugar water will be easy to handle.

The white fungus and mung bean, lily, and lotus seeds have been slow-cooked for a long time. The light yellow white fungus has boiled out its glue, and the mung bean, lily, and lotus seeds have begun to become soft and greasy.

Zhou Chenyu put two pots filled with white fungus soup, adding pitted red dates and wolfberry to one, and adding papaya grains and wolfberry to the other. Finally, all the sugar water was ready.

Several girls from the kitchen came in to bring sugar water. The food cooked in the previous house was already exquisite enough, but they didn't expect that the sugar water they saw today would give them new insights. "Miss Zhou, you really have a pair of skillful hands. These bowls of sugar water taste good just by looking at them."

Zhou Chenyu had been in the kitchen for a few hours and had already become close to these little girls. Anyone would be happy to be praised like this.

She laughed and said, "I will open a shop in Qingshui Town in the future, and you can come and drink if you want."

The girls immediately cheered, "Then let's remember, you must keep your word!"

Afterwards, all the things made by Zhou Chenyu and the other two men were put on the table. Across a curtain, Feng Chuli faced the two kitchen stewards and said, "The sugar water has been prepared, let's all have a taste."

"Yes, Manager Feng."

The man with the mole and the depressed man couldn't bear it anymore, and focused all their energy on their ears, wanting to hear who in the room liked what they made.

Zhou Chenyu, however, had a calm look on her face, not because she was sure that Feng Chuli would be on her side, but because she had developed a habit since childhood. No matter what she did, she would try her best to do it, and she would happily accept the results no matter what.

The kitchen girl standing next to her saw that she was silent and thought she was nervous, so she comforted her secretly, "Miss Zhou, every sugar drink you make is better than them. You will definitely win in the end."

"Thank you for your comfort. I hope so." Zhou Chenyu pursed his lips and smiled. Then he saw the servant standing in the room waiting and walked out. He said in public: "Since there is still a lot of sugar water made by the three of you, Mr. Feng It is ordered that anyone staying in the courtyard can eat it."

As soon as this order was issued, the slaves and girls ran to the kitchen in an orderly manner, and unanimously headed towards the place where Zhou Chenyu was making sugar water. Only those who could not occupy the position went to the place where the two men were making, and they could taste it. After a mouthful or two, he turned around and ran elsewhere.

After a while, exclamations came from the kitchen one after another.

"This sugar water tastes great!"

"Sweet but not greasy, my throat is moistened after drinking it."

"I like the Green Tuan Coconut Milk Sugar Water even more. Although the Green Tuan does not contain sugar, it has a strong aroma of mugwort and is paired with the sweet and cool coconut milk. This is the first time I have seen this!"

"It's just that it's much more delicious than what those two men made."

Listening to these responses in unison, Zhou Chenyu's smart black eyes overflowed with light when he smiled, "Sure."

The short man and the depressed man still stood where they were, refusing to give up until the last moment.

The servants and girls came back with sugar water, and Feng Chuli's subordinates announced the results in public. As expected, the winner was Zhou Chenyu.

No one present who had tasted Zhou Chenyu's sugar water questioned and applauded, except for Zhou Chenyu's competitors.

The two men had been making sugar water for decades. They didn't believe that they would lose to a yellow-haired girl. After the results were announced, they sneaked into the kitchen and tasted every kind of sugar water that Zhou Chenyu made. Arrogance and contempt all turned into shame, and there was no longer any face to question.

"One tael of silver?" Zhou Chenyu opened his eyes wide, thinking he heard wrongly.
