Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 70 Ah, It's So Hot
The boiling sesame oil in the iron pan makes a slight crackling sound, the golden round sugar cake sinks and floats in it, and the rich aroma permeates the whole yard.

Yuan Xi stared at the pot, and said to Wu Zhao beside him, "The temperature of the oil is very important. If it is too early, the sugar inside will not boil; if it is too late, the outside will burn and the taste will become bitter."

Wu Zhao nodded quickly, but her thoughts were long gone. She raised her head slightly and glanced at Zhen Rong in the distance.

Zhen Rong was holding Yuan Xing's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm not going to hide it from you. As soon as I heard that Second Young Master Yuan was back, I hurried over to help my sister take a look, so that she can feel at ease when I go back."

Zhen Mi, who covered her face halfway, pursed her lips lightly, is there a sister who speaks like that?
Yuan Xing turned around, pointed quietly at Yuan Xi who was in the distance, and said in a low voice, "That is, just look, she is absolutely worthy of my sister."

Seeing that Zhen Mi's face was half covered, her face was red and pockmarked, she asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Zhen Rong pretended not to care and said: "She is my maid. She got sick a few days ago and had a lot of pockmarks on her face, but it has healed. I was afraid that she would scare you, so I asked her to cover her face and leave her alone. .”

Yuan Xing nodded when she heard this, but she didn't care, and walked towards Yuan Xi with Zhen Rong, saying, "Second brother, a girl from the Zhen family is here to see you."

Seeing Zhen Rong approaching, Yuan Xi stood up straight, bowed and said, "I've seen the girl."

Then he stared nervously at the pot again, lest the sugar cake inside would be burnt.

After hearing this, Yuan Xing smiled and said, "Ma'am, she's married."

Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "Offended." He turned back to stare at the pot
Seeing Yuan Xi's serious expression and strange things rolling in the pot, Zhen Rong couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

Yuan Xi saw that the heat was almost ready, so he took out the sugar cakes one by one, and said, "The food I came up with by accident should taste good, madam, would you like to try it?"

When the two were talking, Zhen Mi carefully hid behind Zhen Rong, observing Yuan Xi's expression.

His complexion is very healthy, not the kind of paleness that is addicted to wine, and his eyes are also very clear, with a faint light between his gazes, not the kind of hollowness and vainness that often eats five stone powder.

The body is also standing up straight, with a slightly slumped back, unlike the swaying, self-proclaimed nobleman's son, but somewhat similar to his brother-in-law's posture.

Moreover, his voice is calm and calm, not ostentatious, but full of confidence, obviously he is very measured in doing things.

Would such a person really openly bring dozens of concubines back to Ye City?
Zhen Mi was staring at Yuan Xi, but suddenly felt someone staring at her from the side, turned her head slightly, and saw a maid with mottled faces cast a puzzled look at her.

When Zhen Mi saw the scars on the opponent's face, she was suddenly stunned.

Isn't this color painted with the best cinnabar and pine ink?

The other party is really daring!

When Zhen Mi was a child, she used to apply this kind of thing on her hands, and wanted to see how long it would take to wash it off. As a result, it took more than a year for the imprint to almost completely disappear, but the faint imprint did not completely disappear until several years later. dissipate.

Zhen Mi didn't understand, that maid looked quite beautiful, why did she paint her face for no reason?
protect yourself?

Does Yuan Xi really have some problems?

When Zhen Mi was wondering, Wu Zhao also looked at Zhen Mi.

The exposed spots, where there are acne marks, are clearly blended with rouge and gouache.

She also thought about this method when she was robbed by the Huns in Luoyang, but this thing would be washed away as soon as it was washed. If the Huns saw through it, the end would be the same.

So Wu Zhao became ruthless and painted his face with the most difficult to wash off color, which really deceived the Huns.

She and Zhen Mi looked at each other, and when they saw each other's eyes, they panicked at the same time, as if they had been seen through!

Bad thing!
It would be bad if the other party opened his mouth to say it!

Wu Zhao and Zhen Mi exchanged glances several times in an instant, and they reached a consensus in an instant. They both turned their heads away at the same time, pretending that nothing happened.

Zhen Rong saw the steaming, slightly puffed, fragrant golden sugar cake in the wooden tray, and asked curiously, "I've never seen this food before, did you really come up with it?"

Yuan Xing laughed at the side: "It's a coincidence, he made it for me, I haven't tasted it yet."

The two women took the wooden chopsticks handed over by the maid, and lightly picked up a piece of sugar cake. Yuan Xi saw it and said, "It should still be very hot inside, be careful after biting it open."

The two girls stuck out their tongues, licked it lightly, and found that it was still good, so they bit down.

The white hot sugar juice oozes out and scalds the tongues of the two girls. The two girls hiss and stick out their tongues at the same time. The small sweet tongue is like a nimble little animal, jumping around in a panic.

Seeing Yuan Xing staring at him angrily, Yuan Xi said innocently, "I just said that."

Yuan Xing snorted a few times, blew on the sugar cake for a while, and then carefully bit down on it.

A piece of sugar cake fell into the mouth, the crispy dough, the aroma of sesame oil, and the sweetness of the sugar juice mixed together, arousing the fusion of flavors on the tip of the tongue, Yuan Xing's eyes lit up, and she took a few more bites.

When Zhen Rong saw it, he also drew gourds in the same way, and when the sugar cake entered the mouth, he immediately gave out a sound of admiration.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly. Sure enough, from ancient times to the present, people have been unable to resist the temptation of mixing sugar and fat.

He picked up a piece of sugar cake, put it in front of Wu Zhao, and said, "Try it."

Zhen Rong also picked up a piece, handed it to Zhen Mi naturally, and said, "It's really delicious, little..."

She reacted and said quickly: "Be careful of burning."

After a while, the five people present divided up more than a dozen pieces of candy cakes, still feeling unsatisfied.

This would be a terrifying carbohydrate bomb for women of later generations, but it is quite suitable and delicious food for people who generally lack nutrition in this era.

In this era, even the children of the gentry, the food is often very monotonous, and there is no such thing as a nutritional ratio. Most people get sick simply because they lack certain aspects of nutrition.

Zhen Rong said with some regret: "It would be great if I could eat it every day."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi explained the method, and said with a smile: "The method is very simple, but it is quite labor-intensive."

Zhen Rong blinked and said, "Young master thought of this when he was in Beixincheng?"

"Is it good over there?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "The property is quite rich, but if you want to say it well, that may not be true."

"Youzhou has a lot of grain and wheat, but wars and thieves frequently plunder and destroy them, so the harvest has not been very good."

"There are plenty of fish in the river and game in the mountains, but it's not easy to hunt."

"However, if Gongsun Zan can be wiped out and Youzhou can be pacified, the people will be able to produce with peace of mind. If it is carefully managed, after ten years, it should not be much worse than Jizhou."

After hearing this, Zhen Rong smiled and said, "Second Master Yuan has great ambitions, and he will definitely succeed in no time."

"Speaking of which, the second son Yuan returned to Yecheng, but my husband followed the first son Yuan to help guard Beixin City. I'm afraid he will stay for a while longer."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi felt a bad feeling in his heart, "Who is Madam's husband?"

Zhen Rong smiled and said, "Second Young Master Yuan should have seen it."

"Gao Lan."
