Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 238
At the same time, outside the door of Zuifengju in the south of the city, Tao'er was also praising Mingyue excitedly. The two went back to the shop excitedly all the way, joined Dayu who had just entered the door, and chirp talked about their respective go through.Then they went into the back kitchen where the stove was set up. Kexin was carefully pouring a small pot of prepared ice cream into the mold. water.After a while, the two of them worked together to smash the surrounding ice cubes, opened the mold, took out a square ice cream, put it in a small plate, and handed it to the two little masters, Dayu and Tao'er, and said, "Eldest young master, young master Tao, Try it, it's made of goat's milk that was harvested this morning."

Dayu and Tao'er nodded, and each dug a little bit out with small silver spoons and put them into their mouths, but the next moment they frowned at the same time and looked at each other, both a little puzzled.

But Xin didn't know what was wrong, but just by looking at the faces of the two young masters, she knew that the taste must be bad. She didn't care about forgiveness, so she quickly picked up a spoon, stepped forward to scoop some, and then frowned, " How could it be, the steps are obviously the same as Madam's, and no other ingredients have been added, so the taste is so different."

Dayu scooped up some more and savored them carefully. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Did you use goat's milk when mom made it?"

"Ah?" Kexin heard her young master ask this question, and she also reacted, and immediately replied, "No, Madam used something called milk powder, but Madam said, those powders were rinsed with hot water. It tastes the same as milk, so there should be no problem."

Tao'er said, "I tasted the ice cream made by my mother, and it seems that the milk taste is not as thick as this. Is the goat's milk thickened?"

Dayu nodded and agreed with his statement very much, so he ordered, "Keep in mind, add some water to the goat's milk to make it thinner and try again, this time make less."

Kexin quickly complied, and seriously added half a scoop of water to the goat's milk and continued to try. However, the following results made several people a little discouraged. No matter how they experimented, they couldn't do what their mother made for them that day. So-so taste.

Dayu looked at the sky and said helplessly, "Let's go back and have lunch with Mom, and ask Mom for advice."

Tao'er was also discouraged, nodded in agreement, and went back to Suiyuan together.Mu Ai is taking Xinger and a few big girls to do needlework.

She had a whim this morning, and wanted to embroider two small purses, put the two small seals on them, and then give them to Ouyang Yiyi. Therefore, she has been working hard, and she wants to challenge the difficult one with her female red background that can only sew buttons. Embroidery craft.One morning has passed, not to mention flowers, not even a single leaf has been embroidered, but the lotus flower of Xing Er's little girl has already had some outlines. up.

Simba and Cheng'er, two naughty boys, have become very well-behaved after the fat beating the day before yesterday. They felt sorry for their fatigue and asked them to stay at home to rest for a few days. Unexpectedly, they asked to practice calligraphy and sit at the table Wrote a dozen pages.After my mother inspected it and praised a few words, she took a group of servants and ran to the back garden to play.

Seeing Dayu and Tao'er come back on the vernal equinox, he quickly took Xiaoan to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Mu Ai bit off the embroidery thread in her hand, looked up at the two children who were apparently hesitant to talk, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, but what do you need mommy's help for?" I went to wash my hands and waited a while for dinner.

Then he pulled the two children over to him, carefully looked at their obviously tanned cheeks, and said with a smile, "You two really put your heart into the shop, and you got tanned in just a few days. Tao'er will go back home again, you Grandma should be distressed. Tell me, what's wrong?"

Dayu frowned slightly and said, "Mom, Kexin made ice bowls today, but the taste is much different from what my mother made by herself that day."

"Yes, aunt, the milk smells very strong, overpowering the sweetness. We tried to dilute the milk, but it still didn't work." Tao'er echoed.

Mu Ai raised her eyebrows, thinking of the word "milk taste", she suddenly realized that what she used was powdered milk that day, and the children must be using fresh milk today, and it was goat's milk with a particularly strong smell, that's why they said it tasted wrong.

However, if goat milk is not used, there is not much milk powder here that can be provided to the store for a long time.Thinking about it carefully, it seems that people have heard that boiling almonds in goat's milk can remove the smell, but she has never tried it, so she might have to try it for the "great cause" of the children.

Reaching out to pat the two frowning children, he comforted, "Don't worry, you can just take care of the things in the store and leave these technical issues to Mom, so that you can make the best ice cream."

In the minds of the two children, the mother is omnipotent. Hearing her promise, they immediately let go of the troubles in their hearts and smiled again.After Mu Ai instructed them to change clothes and wash their hands, they leaned lightly on the soft cushions, and their mind sank into the space to check their property.

Because she doesn’t like eating apricots very much, when she first bought peach trees, they built two and planted them next to each other. The first two times when they harvested fruit, they also collected about ten baskets, each of which was the size of a baby’s fist. , one side is yellow and orange, the other side is slightly red, and I don't know what it's called.

She picked up a plate with a wave of her hand and took a taste. It didn't have the astringent taste at all, but it was sandy and noodley, so sweet and sour, she couldn't help but eat three or four in a row before stopping.Xing'er, who came in after calling, came over, broke a piece for her to eat, and ordered the little girl Caiyun to find a small hammer, cracked several apricot cores, picked out a small handful of almonds, He turned over a small piece of fine gauze in the sewing basket and wrapped the almonds in it.

A few people came in with lunch at the spring equinox, Dayu Taoer and two naughty boys ran in, the mother and son ate, the children took a nap as usual, and Mu Ai took advantage of the time to cook a pot of goat milk in the small kitchen. After adding almonds, the smell of mutton has gone a lot, which is enough to meet the requirements of making ice cream.

So I called a few girls together, brought out a basket of apricots, peeled the almonds while eating, Xia Zhi ate happily, and ate five or six in a row, complaining that my stomach was full, but I still couldn't bear to stop, Mu Ai vaguely remembered Pregnant women can't eat temper, and I can't remember the specific dangers. However, no matter how delicious the food is, it is not good to eat too much, so I quickly stopped her.Xia Zhi stuck out her tongue, and began to knock on the apricot pit with a hammer. She was a quick-tempered girl, and she was the worst among the maids when she usually did needlework. She didn't expect to pick up the hammer today, but she knocked it accurately and neatly. The almonds pulled out were also intact, and they became more excited after being praised by Muai.

In less than an hour, the children woke up from a nap and had already peeled a large bowl of almonds.Mu Ai ordered Chun Equinox to wrap some for Dayu, taught him how to use it carefully, and then sent them to the shop.The two naughty boys were very self-conscious and repeatedly asked to do things with their brothers.

Of course Mu Ai agreed, praised them a few words, and let them go out together, but made an excuse of being a female celebrity, and kept the youngest daughter at home, after all, she was a girl, and Mu Ai didn't want her daughter to be tanned like a little black charcoal .

After a basket of apricots, three large bowls of almonds and two pots of apricot meat were peeled out. The master and servants were too addicted, and I am afraid that they will not want to eat any more in a short time.

Mu Ai looked at the golden apricot flesh and didn't want to waste it, so she found a few jars with narrow mouths and started making apricot jam.A small half of the space spring water was put in the cauldron, and a little salt was added to it, which is said to ensure the bright color of the jam.Pour in two pots of apricot meat and cook for a quarter of an hour until the apricots are boiled, then add an appropriate amount of maltose, and keep stirring until the juice becomes viscous and the color becomes transparent orange.Take a spoonful and taste it. It tastes sweeter than eating apricot meat alone. It is good for children to make snacks or make ice cream.

So I told a few maids to wait for the apricot jam to cool, put it in a jar and seal it.One jar was placed in the space, and the other jar was sent to several children's shops.Then he took Xinger to continue fighting with the flowers on the purse as usual.

Not to mention that their family is busy, but in Kao City, in less than half a day, most of the people know the little story of Yixiu.It should be said that what spreads the fastest in the world is not the emperor's secret letter, but the rumors of the common people.

One of Qingfeng and Mingyue was in the teahouse and the other was in the restaurant. They raised questions respectively, and they were very excited. Many people were really interested, or they talked about it for the sake of face or because of the famous name. Tell new things to your relatives and friends.Humans are curious animals who are good at comparison.Seeing the confused expression when others can't figure it out is like finding an excuse for your stupidity.In this way, one spread to ten, ten to one hundred, and there was a fever in Kao City.When everyone meets each other, they will ask a question after a few words of greeting. Have you guessed it?Of course, in addition to this sentence, there is another name that appears the most, which is Honghu Academy.

The minds of ordinary people are very simple. Of course, the problem is to find smart people, and Honghu Academy is the gathering place for all smart people.Since he has won countless reputations for being smart and wise, educating people and rejuvenating the country, etc., of course he has to take on the responsibility of solving doubts now.So, everyone was looking forward to an answer from the academy, but unfortunately, after two days passed, none of the scholars in the academy could guess the answer, and even those who had such a good thing ran to ask the teacher, but the teacher also did not know the answer outside. Those who have heard the story naturally can't guess it, and it's not easy to admit to the students that they can't guess it either, so they have to be reprimanded for not learning countless things and not using their brains.

For a while, Kao City was very lively. When Xiao Heng heard the story in his restaurant, he remembered that Liniang had mentioned that Mu Ai asked some children Zhang Luo to open a shop that day, so he came to Suiyuan a little dumbfounded. Ai took him in to serve tea, and only after hearing what he said about his visit did he realize that his little publicity strategy had actually aroused such a big response.It is even more funny to hear that Dayu and Tao'er published this story in other teahouses and restaurants.
