Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 32 Frost's Sweet Potatoes

Ping'er was annoyed, ashamed and irritable in his heart, when he went out, he felt the suffocating smell of alcohol everywhere in the courtyard, and remembering Wang Xifeng's confession, he simply put on his skirt and went out to look for attackers.

As he walked, he couldn't get rid of Jia Lian's drunken appearance in his mind, and he became more and more angry, so he had to force himself to think about what else he missed today.

Second Mistress said that Xiren specially set up this situation for Qingwen, but now she let a little girl push her directly in front of the old lady.

Looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on the side of the pillar, Ping'er was unconsciously fascinated.Xiren and Qingwen were originally maids in the old lady's room, and later they were given to the second master Bao. Qingwen still used the first name, but Xiren simply changed his name because of Baoyu's whim.

I think she also worked as a servant by the girl's side, and now she is employed by Lian's second master... I can't think about this!Ping'er shook his head in the wind, sobering up for a moment.

Forcing Xiren's increasingly charming face to appear in his mind, if it is a good color, Qingwen is naturally the best color in this Rongguo Mansion. Although Xiren is thin and beautiful, compared to Qingwen, it is not enough.

Only the suppleness on his body is unmatched by others. Thinking of his own affairs, he knows that men like this kind of style the most.Could it be that because of this, she wants to exclude people in Jiang Yunxuan?Coupled with Second Mistress talking about Qianxue, Ping'er was astonished, and seeing Xiren approaching from a distance, was even more flustered and his heart was beating wildly.

When the person left, he managed to find his own voice, still a little trembling inside, and asked softly, "It's so late, you...how did you come here?"

"I didn't see the little girl along the way, and I couldn't find anyone to inform me, so I had to find it myself? Why? It's not convenient to meet guests right now?" Xi Ren raised his brows with a worried look, and tried to level his hands.

Ping'er endured the waves and covered up his guilty conscience.

It's not inconvenient, it's just that it's not good to attack someone just now, and the person who turned around appeared in front of him, who wouldn't be flustered?After looking around, he had no choice but to drag her to the quiet room for guests in the lower courtyard.

Xiren followed behind, looked at the road under her feet, and thought in her heart, just in time, she also wanted to talk to Ping'er, and it would be best to find a clean place right now.

"you"

"you……"

The two sat with their knees close together, Xi Ren was thinking about the reward at night, Ping'er was thinking about Second Mistress's words in his heart, the two of them spoke out together without realizing it.

"You speak first."

Ping'er has a gentle temperament, he doesn't like to argue with others, and he suffers from splint gas in the room every day, so he is more tolerant when talking and doing things.For example, right now, even though he was dissatisfied with Xi Ren, he still gave her a glass of honey and bird's nest water.

"Second Mistress has always been generous, and she is willing to give you such a precious bird's nest." Xiren originally wanted to say no tea, because he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well at night after drinking tea. He could see that the cup was crystal clear, and there were a few bright red goji berries floating on it. It was hard to see under the candlelight.
"It's just the leftover broken cups in the small kitchen. It's not good to stew for grandma, so it's cheaper for us. If you like it, I'll make some for you." The wives and grandmas in the mansion all have the habit of drinking bird's nest every day. It's not that they can't afford it at home, so they won't serve such poor quality ones.

No need, the attacker hurriedly said.

There is also an example of bird's nest in Jiang Yunxuan. Baoyu is a man, and he doesn't like to eat it in daily life.

Thinking that what he ate was a portion of Baoyu, Xiren felt a little comfortable and secret joy in his heart.

Putting down the bird's nest, he talked about his reason for coming, "It's unreasonable today, but Qingwen went out to buy something and pulled out so many miscellaneous things. The little girl in our yard, I don't usually see that he is so successful. Dear sister, tell me, I am working like an old woman, is it wrong?"

Seeing Xiren talking more and more aggrieved and excited, Ping'er was extremely tormented and embarrassed, and remembered what the second grandmother had told her: "Ping'er, I see that Xiren has been taken over by Baoyu, and there have been so many turmoil in recent days, and her shadow of Hua Xiren is everywhere in it.

I also know that you two have a long history of friendship, and I was also glad that you had a fling with her. It would be a great thing to have more people who can talk to her in this house.

I just want to tell you that if she raises her aunt in the future, we will all be able to follow suit, but if she is allowed to behave in such a disorderly way, I am afraid that what is waiting for her is a dead end.

I don't care if she seeks her own death, but if she brings us down, I definitely can't let her go! "

So he hesitated again and again, and then tried to persuade him: "In my opinion, this matter was done right by mistake, you don't have to take it to heart. The old lady gave her a big reward, and praised the harmony and beauty in your courtyard. I can only look at such a happy event with envy. It will be like this in the future, won't it be peaceful for thousands of years?"

As a servant, the rewards from the superiors show that they recognize the errands you do. Even if you think it is not perfect enough, but the mouth grows on people, and it is not bad to praise three parts of the beauty into seven parts.

Seeing that Ping'er was not following his wishes, Xiren felt pity for her from the bottom of his heart. She was sandwiched between the old man and his wife. The second master Lian was not a person who cared about fragrances and jades, and the second grandma Lian was aggressive and jealous. How could he be happy working beside Baoyu?
Alas, thinking of this, Xiren couldn't help sighing, it seems that she doesn't understand her troubles either.

So he rambled about other things, and after a while, he broke up the night conversation.

In the early morning of the next day, Yunzhu and Qiuwen handed over the errands of the tea room, and then they plunged into the kitchen, preparing for her great career as a sugar blower.

Blowing sugar man, pay attention to a word blowing.

Don't you see, how many exquisite sugar figures are all in that one breath and two fingers.If you want to eat it, of course you can blow it as you want as soon as you pout, and you can squeeze it as you want with your hands!Focus on a freedom.

But now, if you want to make it seriously and give it away, you can't be so rough.It is not only a matter of hygiene, but also the particularity of a big family. For a thing, it must be well-intentioned, unusual, and mysterious!
For example, sesame sauce cabbage needs to use Qianlong's name to add luster, and pancakes and fruits need to be changed into Xiangfei rolls to sell well!People can't always ask, how do you make this thing?You reply: simple!Blow your mouth like that!Such a pinch of the hand!
Well, gift-giving becomes revenge.

Yunzhu was working on the draft, thinking of embellishing the story about the origin of the candy that he told Liu Ping the day before yesterday, and transforming it into a more refined and bluffing story. He was also drawing a one-way valve on his hand, preparing to make an air bag for blowing candy.

Just as she was fascinated, she heard someone shouting to her from outside, "Sister Yunzhu, you sweet potato, what are you particular about? The second grandma sent me an errand yesterday, and I'm here to ask your opinion!"

Looking at the tall and strong maidservant, she felt slanderous in her heart, what's the point?Is it impossible to select a grain of wheat to make maltose?It's not bad.

Just as I was about to say this, the tongue turned around again, and I had an idea: "Good sister, thanks to you asking me, otherwise this matter can't be done, the old lady will definitely accuse me!

Now that you ask me, I will ask you to mention it to you, sister, don't dislike me.This is also what my brother-in-law specifically told me, listen carefully, don't tell others this trick.

This is a good thing, it is these subtleties that show the truth!

You should look for red-skinned sweet potatoes harvested before dark on the day of Frost's Descent. The shape must also be a standard spindle shape, without bruises or peculiar smells.

Most importantly!It can only be bought if it has been stored in the cellar without seeing the light of day for at least 49 to [-] days, and it cannot be opened to see the wind during this period. "

The bamboo basket that the rude elder sister was carrying casually was now solemnly carried on her shoulders, she repeated Yun Zhu's words, and finally said in a dumb voice: "My good fellow, you are so particular, it's a good thing I came to ask you first, otherwise it wouldn't be a big deal for the masters?"

Then he pulled Yunzhu to repeat it again, and when he saw Yunzhu nodding with a serious face, Shi Shiran picked up the frame and went out of the door.

The sweet potatoes that have been frosted are sweeter. Short-term anaerobic storage conditions can accelerate the accumulation of glycogen, and the sugar yield is higher. It has no peculiar smell, so it is convenient to add flavoring dew later.These words are false and true, true and false, it will not take long to reach the ears of the masters.

Rongguo Mansion is also considered a fashion vane in the aristocratic circles in central Beijing. As long as Jia Mansion approves, the recipes left in Liu Ping's hands will definitely be sold!

Suppressing the hilarity in her heart, Yunzhu continued to turn around and draw a one-way valve, which is a bionic application born out of the gut of a shark.There were similar things in ancient China, for example, the bellows used in the kitchen.

It's just that now they have to find a way to turn wood into fish intestines or animal skins.In the era when everything was rubbed by hand, this thing was really difficult.The old lady simply didn't give her a time limit, but it would be a long night and dreams, so it's better to solve it quickly.

Sweet potato is an exotic species. Although local nobles also eat it, the problem of its gas production has not been solved. Therefore, many people obviously love its natural sweet smell, but they refuse it due to the unsightly effect of ventilation.

It also caused many people to give bad reviews first when they smelled sweet potatoes.

Boil sweet potatoes into syrup, which solves the problem of gas production very well. Now we are faced with how to cover up its smell.

The Twelve Auspicious Beasts that I made the day before yesterday to please the old lady used the scented dew left over from making osmanthus cakes in the kitchen. Now that I am ordering a candy blower, it is not difficult to ask for another bottle of scented dew.

But in this way, wouldn't he lose another hole card?
It is now in the spring of March. Although the Northland is still bleak, the flowers in the greenhouse are already colorful. Looking around the side yard of the kitchen where I am, I even got a special room for making candies. Isn't this a good place to extract flower dew?
