Imperial Marshal Feeding Log

Chapter 176 Maltose and Dragon Beard Cake
After two bowls of hot, sweet and spicy ginger collided with milk, Shen Yin and Ke Xing softened up. They held Yiyi and Erer in their arms respectively, and leaned on the comfortable chairs for a long time. Did not speak.

The sun was getting higher and noon was approaching, and 2569 began to prepare lunch, but Shen Yin sniffed, stood up and stuffed the two-two to Du Xixi, and said: "There are still many official duties waiting for me in the palace, lunch will be served soon." I won’t eat here, but I have something to ask you.”

"Huh?" Er Er sticks to his mother, and puts his arms around Du Xixi's neck as soon as he arrives in Du Xixi's arms. I guess, my brother is hungry for something delicious again, right?"

"You! You are too accurate!" Shen Yin nodded Du Xixi's head helplessly, but controlled his strength, and just asked his fingertips to lightly touch Du Xixi's forehead without leaving any mark, "But no I'm greedy, but I thought that Miao Miao is a girl, she should like to eat sweet food, can you help me make some?"

When Du Xixi heard this, she couldn't help but want to laugh, but her child's temperament has improved, and it's rare to see Shen Yin begging herself in such a "low voice", so she turned her head and pretended to be angry: "So it's my fault." Strength, go to win Miao Miao's favor! Brother, you are hurting my heart too much."

Shen Yin and Du Xixi's brothers and sisters are already very familiar with each other. With every move and look of Du Xixi, Shen Yin can see Du Xixi's true inner thoughts.

Shen Yin saw that Du Xixi had turned his head, but his shoulders were shaking slightly up and down, obviously holding back a laugh, so he sighed helplessly: "Xi Xi, stop making trouble."

"Ok."

Du Xixi finally stopped teasing Shen Yin. She hugged Erer and thought for a while, then said in a warm voice: "Miao Miao really likes sweets, if you want to please her with sweets... What do you think of maltose? When you want to eat it, you can eat it." Pick some with a stick, it's delicious and convenient."

"Maltose? It's really good..." Shen Yin recalled his memory on the Blue Star, and after a while, he found a fragment about maltose from the depths of his memory. However, compared to maltose, he felt that another snack was more suitable for giving Miaomiao, "Xixi, why don't I trouble you to help me make maltose into dragon beard crisps?"

Du Xixi raised her eyebrows, remembering that Shen Yin had eaten dragon beard crisps a few times before, so she said with a smile: "You can choose, but this dragon beard crisp is not difficult for me to make, I agree."

"Then thank you, Xixi! You are really my good sister." Shen Yin cupped Du Xixi in a fawning way, but Du Xixi gave him an annoyed look, "Dragon beard crisps are easy to make, malt candy But it takes some time, it takes several days for the wheat to germinate, you have to wait."

"It's only a few days, I can afford to wait now." Shen Yin doesn't think the waiting time for a few days will be difficult, he has already told Miao Miao about his heart, and now he is just a suitor on the bright side of Miao Miao That's all, he can relax a bit since he is out of the status of a crush.

Secret love is a secret self-sorrow, pursuit, but it doesn't need to be as fragile and cautious as before.

but……

After discussing what to do with Du Xixi, Shen Yin still couldn't help pushing Du Xixi's arm, and said in a low voice embarrassedly: "Xi Xi, you are Miao Miao's closest person, tell me for me Say something nice!"

Du Xixi glanced at him with a smile, and joked: "Your Majesty of the Blue Star Empire, you still rely on me to get through the back door? Don't you, brother?"

"Well, as long as Fan Miaomiao has the slightest meaning for me, I don't need to ask you to open the back door." Shen Yin felt a little uncomfortable when he said this, his shoulders relaxed, with a bit of sadness, "It's a pity that Miaomiao's heart is so hard, I I almost cried in front of her, and she just let me give me a chance to pursue her."

After the voice fell, there was silence. Shen Yin looked over suspiciously, and saw Du Xixi and Ke Xing looking at him with a half-smile, especially Ke Xing, the elder who didn't think there was anything wrong with eating the melons of the younger generation. Instead, she leaned over and asked winkingly, "Your Majesty, are you going to cry in front of Miao Miao? It seems that our Miao Miao's charm is not small."

"This..." Only then did Shen Yin come to his senses, covering his mouth and choking, even blushing a little.He said goodbye to Du Xixi and Ke Xing carelessly, and left in a hurry with the Rob.

"Hahaha." Ke Xing shook his head with a smile, stood up and put them on the ground one by one, with a bit of teasing in his tone, "Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Empire, who is usually calm and steady and respected by countless people, is falling After falling in love, you will also become like a half-grown guy who just fell in love."

Du Xixi also had a smile on her face, feeling that after her brother's heart was moved, it was indeed much more interesting: "Love always drives people crazy."

"Hahaha……"

***
In the afternoon, Du Xixi went to the kitchen and started to make some preparations for making maltose.

Maltose is not difficult to make. You only need to crush the germinated malt, mix it with steamed glutinous rice, ferment it at a certain temperature and time, and then boil the filtered sugar water into syrup.

But as Du Xixi said, it took several days to wait for the wheat to germinate. The only preparation Du Xixi could do this afternoon was to soak a bag of wheat in water.

Early the next morning, Du Xixi took advantage of the short time before breakfast to ask 2569 to help wrap the wheat in gauze, so that when he returned home in the evening, the wheat would almost germinate.

The germinated wheat was placed in a basin covered with fine gauze, Du Xixi sprayed some water, and covered the top of the wheat with a cotton cloth soaked in water, and waited all night. At dawn, the wheat germ was almost ready. It's green.

Du Xixi lamented the complete germination facilities of the Star Age Era, sprayed them with water again, and then covered them with cotton cloth again.

One day, two days, three days... By the sixth day, the wheat sprouts had grown very tall, with a large area of ​​yellow and green, and it was gratifying to look at. Du Xixi was finally able to advance the task of making maltose It was on the schedule, and she happened to be resting at home that day, so she ran to the kitchen early in the morning and started making maltose.

Put the clean glutinous rice in a clean basin. Du Xixi likes to steam the glutinous rice thinner when making maltose, so the water will be too much. When the glutinous rice is steamed, she and 2569 will turn over all the glutinous rice , easy to cool.

When cooling the glutinous rice, Du Xixi asked 2569 to pull out a rather large blender. She took out part of the wheat germ, cut off the connected roots with scissors, and put them into the blender one by one. in the crusher.

The wheat germ has been placed, and Du Xixi poured some water into it. Seeing that the ratio is almost the same, the grinder is about to start working.

The working efficiency of this grinder is still very high. In the first 1 minute, there are still pieces of wheat germ, which can be seen in a complete shape. After 1 minute, the wheat germ has been broken into foam, mixed with water, and becomes A yellow-green paste.

Stir the wheat germ paste and glutinous rice together, put them into the incubator after they are evenly mixed, Du Xixi sets a temperature according to his own experience, and then leave the fermentation to time.

"Okay, the work of boiling syrup and making dragon beard cakes is estimated to be done tonight." Du Xixi washed his hands, then rubbed his neck with some soreness, and then looked at 2569, "It's still early, Would you like to sit outside with me for a while?"

Du Xixi and Ke Lian always get up early, but Ke Xing's daily routine is similar to that of the two children. He probably just woke up at this moment, so there are only Du Xixi and 2569 downstairs.

"Okay!" Of course, 2569 would not refute Du Xixi's words. When Du Xixi went to sit on the sofa, it obediently brought Du Xixi a glass of warm water, and waited for Du Xixi to pick up the warm water to drink After a few mouthfuls, it squatted down and beat Du Xixi's legs with its mechanical hands.

Du Xixi raised her eyebrows, and before she could speak, she heard 2569 explain: "Ma'am, this is what the adults taught me! The adults said that now, Ma'am is pregnant, my waist is sore and my legs are sore, so I will help you when I am free." Hammer!"

Ke Lian is busy with military affairs now, and the time to apply for paternity leave has not yet come, so Du Xixi usually rests at home, but he is far away in the military headquarters and cannot take care of him, so he has to ask 2569 for help.

"However, my lord also said that only when my lord is not around, I need 2569's help to beat my leg!" 2569 showed a playful expression to Du Xixi, "When my lord is here, of course my lord will do it myself!"

Du Xixi snorted, with a bit of anger on her face, but she had to say that she liked Ke Lian's concern and concern for her, even though Ke Lian's jealousy was a bit weird sometimes, but she knew that, This is how Ke Lian loves her.

In the evening, when Ke Lian came back from get off work in a dark green military uniform, he immediately saw Du Xixi lying lazily on the sofa, and his two sons were also leaning intimately in Du Xixi's arms. I don't know how long it lasted.

"Are you back?" Ke Xing was also sitting on the sofa, sipping a cup of tea with gusto at the moment. Seeing that Ke Lian was back, he waved to him first, "Come here quickly! We watched an entertainment show just now. The news is just interesting."

"Yeah." After changing his shoes, Ke Xing first carried his two sons to another sofa, then picked up Du Xixi with one hand, and hugged her into his arms, "What entertainment news?"

His own son is jealous, even his own son. Ke Xing has long been used to it. He rubbed his slightly twitching forehead and turned his head. , It was reported on the Internet that he is going to quit the entertainment circle, and he is making a fuss."

"What's so interesting about this?" Ke Lian frowned. He didn't understand the entertainment news about Sun Murin's resignation. He felt that playing with Duxi's hair was more interesting than following such entertainment news. He's about to quit the circle, when did you see him really quit?"

"Of course what's interesting is not the fact that the truth is unknown. What we find interesting is the comments of those netizens." Du Xixi poked Ke Lian who came over to kiss her face, and used her optical brain to display the troubles on Starnet. Netizens commented on the pot, "It's interesting that they guessed the reason for Sun Murin's resignation."

Ke Lian didn't get to kiss his daughter-in-law, so he raised his eyes a little unwillingly, but his eyes stopped on those comments.

for a long time……

The corners of his mouth twitched.

【—Well, this is the nth year since it was revealed on the Internet that Lao Sun is going to quit the circle, and I'm used to it.

——Retire?The old grandson is doing well, why should he quit the circle?Could it be that he finally got the hang of it, felt that he was a bit talented in literature, and planned to follow the old path of his family?
——No, no, I think Lao Sun may have been urged to marry by his family, so he quit the circle and went on a blind date.

——Is LS joking?Blind date?Is this acceptable to our actor Sun who treats female artists as men?

...]

"This year's netizen has a lot of brains." Ke Lian shook his head helplessly, kissed Du Xixi on the face when she turned off the optical brain, and then smiled contentedly, "Sun Murin hasn't given it yet." Respond?"

"No, but it's not a big deal. He has to go through this every year. I guess the netizens are used to it, and it will stop after a while." Ke Xing waved his hand indifferently, and casually picked up the newspaper that he hadn't finished reading this morning. Looking at it, he seemed to think of something halfway through, so he raised his head and asked Ke Lian, "I heard that the Four Great Empires are not very optimistic recently?"

Ke Lian nodded, holding Du Xixi's waist with one hand, and Du Xixi's hair with the other, playing with it carefully: "After the last alliance army competition, the four empires kept making small moves. It's accelerated."

Ke Xing has already retired from the military, and now he has no real power, and he doesn't plan to have real power. He just thought of this matter and asked casually.He didn't care about Ke Lian's answer and continued to read the newspaper.

Du Xixi lowered her eyes, allowing Ke Lian to play with her hair and hands for a while, but she was thinking about the four great empires in her heart.

The relationship between the Blue Star Empire and the Four Great Empires has long been very bad, especially after the Interstellar Ceremony, the struggle between the two sides was almost on the surface, but Shen Yin's series of targeted policies suppressed it all at once. The four great empires lived there, making them weaker and weaker now.

The country is ruined and the family is destroyed. The lives of the people of the four great empires will definitely not be very good now, but... Du Xixi took a deep breath, but she didn't feel sorry for them, but her emotions were flat and there were no disturbances.

The Blue Star Empire has always advocated peace. As long as it is not stepped on the head and touched the bottom line, the Blue Star Empire will generally not take action, and will only work hard to maintain the peaceful situation.

But the four great empires repeatedly provoked the Blue Star Empire, and even pointed the spearhead at Du Xixi, the princess of the empire, which made the Blue Star Empire unbearable.

It's their own fault for falling into the current situation, isn't it?
Du Xixi blinked her eyes lightly, seeing Ke Lian smiling and asking herself "what's the matter", she smiled and shook her head, unwilling to think too much about the Four Great Empires.

"It's time for dinner! 2569 has cooked many delicacies that my wife loves!" 2569 came out of the kitchen and shouted to everyone, Ke Xing put down the newspaper, stood up and shouted back, "Just Xixi Do you like food? Isn’t there anything A Lian and I like to eat?”

"Of course there is! There are hot and sour potato shreds and sweet and sour pork ribs that Master Ke Xing likes to eat. There is also pickled fish that adults like to eat!" 2569 likes to cook, and he is happy to cook no matter how many dishes he usually cooks, even if he cooks pickled fish today It also felt happy when it took a lot of effort to slice the fish.

Ke Lian stood up with Du Xixi, turned around to pick up the two sons at the same time, then smiled at Du Xixi: "Let's go, let's go to dinner."

Du Xixi grabbed Ke Lian's clothes, her eyes were gentle: "Well, after dinner, I still want to make maltose and dragon beard cakes?"
