Queen Mother's A Scientist

The general is coming back!

Not back to Qingzhou camp, but back to the general's house!

The perennial ownerless general's house is boiling at this moment! The servants and maids are busy, cleaning, sorting, inspecting and repairing. Make sure that the whole general's house is in the most perfect state before the general comes back!

Everyone is preparing with vigor and vitality. Only the housekeeper goes to God from time to time and sighs from time to time.

Someone asked the housekeeper what happened.

The housekeeper shook his head, turned away without saying a word, but muttered in his heart: who is that girl Hua

……

After seven or eight days, Fu tingye really came back.

In the deep night, the general and a team of his own soldiers rushed into the city. He rode lightly in plain clothes and was very low-key, but he couldn't hide his fierce momentum.

The gate of the general's house was opened, and the servant led the horse to the stables. The road inside the gate was clean and tidy, and the lanterns on both sides were glowing, but there was no sense of warmth. It only set off that the general's house was more solemn and solemn in the night.

Housekeeper Zhao respectfully welcomed Fu tingye to the front hall and served hot tea.

"The food is ready. Will the general eat first, or bathe and change clothes?"

Fu tingye sipped the hot tea, put down the tea lamp, glanced around the door and asked, "where is she?"

Doesn't she know that he's making such a big move back to the house? It's time to come out and welcome.

Housekeeper Zhao's heart clicked. Although his face was still calm, his heart began to panic!

"I don't know... Who is she, as the general said?" Housekeeper Zhao pretended to be calm and replied.

Fu tingye raised his eyebrows and looked suspiciously at the low browed housekeeper. He finally realized that something was wrong.

"Hua Qingxue, isn't she here?" Fu tingye asked, in a low tone, obviously in a good mood.

Housekeeper Zhao began to sweat behind him and reported truthfully: "general, I've never heard of this man in the house..."

Fu tingye stands up quickly!

The servants inside and outside the lobby held their breath!

Housekeeper Zhao was forced to bear someone's sharp sight and his scalp was numb! Carry it stubbornly and dare not look up!

Fu tingye is not angry

He just stared at the housekeeper for a moment, and then walked back and forth in the hall. He was very upset!

Why isn't she here?! Didn't those people send her to Panshui city How is this possible?! But what will happen after an hour's journey?

Fu tingye frowned tightly, summoned a soldier and ordered him to go to Qingzhou camp to inquire about it immediately.

How can a living man suddenly disappear?!

Fu tingye has lost his appetite, and his mood is vaguely depressed.

Originally, she wanted to tell Hua Qingxue about the prince's return to Beijing. She also imagined how she would look when she heard it. That's good. People are not in the house at all!

"Prepare water. I want to bathe and rest." Fu tingye dropped a word and walked out of the front hall with a gloomy face.

Housekeeper Zhao and the servants looked at each other and hurriedly followed with their heads down.

……

The sun slanted westward and it became dark.

Without the sunshine, the temperature dropped sharply. The cold made fewer and fewer people on the street, and all shops and vendors also closed their stalls and went home one after another.

Aunt Cao next door kindly advised Hua Qingxue: "go back early. It's late for a while. It's hard to walk on the road. Recently, it's approaching the new year. Business is no less than in the past. It doesn't matter if you put an hour less."

Hua Qingxue smiled and nodded, stood up and began to close the stall.

Today's business is not very good. Only about ten bowls of tea are sold, and there is a lot left in the bucket. Hua Qingxue distributes the rest of the tea to the uncles and aunts in the nearby stall. After drinking, he can warm up.

During this period, she gradually became familiar with the nearby stall owners, so she stopped thinking of going to Dongzheng street. Now she feels very good. She can rest at home in the morning and go out to make money in the afternoon. One day passed unconsciously, and she feels very full.

With the help of aunt Cao, Hua Qingxue piled everything on the scooter, waved to everyone and took the car home.

When I came to Tongling lane, I smelled the smell of food everywhere and felt inexplicably comfortable.

This peaceful life can make people completely relax, which is completely different from the nervous days in Renqiu City.

Aunt he didn't know if it was because she heard the sound of the wheels of the scooter, went out of the yard to meet her, helped her push the scooter into the yard, and unloaded the wooden barrels and benches on it.

As soon as the barrel was taken, it was empty. Aunt he knew that Hua Qingxue had randomly distributed the tea again. She couldn't help sighing: "you don't sell as much tea as you send out every day. In the long run, how can you earn money..."

Hua Qingxue smiled casually, "in fact, I didn't send much. Recently, business is bad. I only boiled half a bucket of each kind of tea every day, and it's hard to sell tea overnight. It's better to send it out for human favor."

Aunt he still disagreed. She thought the girl was too sincere and afraid of losing money in business.

Hua Qingxue smiled and took out the things given by other stall owners and said, "don't worry, aunt. Look, this is the cabbage sent by Uncle Niu, the tofu sent by Aunt Cao, and Uncle Li's Pancakes... I think I've made a profit."

Aunt he was helpless and funny. She sighed and had to give up.

After a while, she couldn't help persuading her: "since the business is bad recently, don't go out to the stall. It's cold in the cold. The girl's family is the most taboo to be cold. You'd better think of something else to make a living at home. You're young and don't know how to cherish it. It's too late to regret when you get old..."

"I see." Hua Qingxue nodded with a smile, "I just think that we should persevere in doing business. It's not good to fish for three days and dry the net for two days. However, it's almost the new year, and everyone is busy buying new year goods. Tea really doesn't make much profit."

For tea, the low-end point is thirst quenching, and the high-end point is tea tasting.

Huaqingxue's tea belongs to the same kind. It has a taste when it comes to thirst quenching. It can't be compared with those famous teas when it comes to tea tasting. Therefore, this business can only make a living, but it really doesn't make any profit.

Aunt he looked at her not anxious and impatient appearance. She was stunned and asked, "why, do you have an idea?"

Hua Qingxue nodded, "well, I just don't know if it will work. I'll try it tomorrow."

……

The next day, Hua Qingxue didn't get up and make tea again. She went to the street and found the last grain shop.

The waiter in the grain shop actually recognized her. When he saw her, he smiled and asked, "girl, come to buy Yumai again?"

"Yes." Hua Qingxue nodded and reached out to pinch the corn cob piled into a hill. It was hard.

"How much?" The man took the scale and prepared to weigh it.

Hua Qingxue smiled and said, "sell me all these."

"Ah?" The man was silly. "All... All?"

Few people buy Yumai at ordinary times. Although it's cheap, people prefer to eat fresh Yumai. Sun dried Yumai is not very popular. Therefore, Hua Qingxue said she wanted it all. The man was really surprised!

The waiter of the grain shop kindly said, "girl, you want so much... Are you going to grind corn flour? If you buy more, the mill behind our grain shop can grind it for you cheaper. "

Hua Qingxue shook her head with a smile, "you don't have to grind it into flour. I just want these dry corn. Can you help me send it home? I can't take it alone. "

"OK! No problem! " The grain shop man promised, turned and took his pocket to pack corn for Hua Qingxue.

Hua Qingxue buys corn and wants to make popcorn.

She has thought carefully that popcorn is easy to make and the materials are easy to find. It only needs corn kernels and sugar. Of course, if there is butter, she doesn't know whether there is butter in this place

If not, it doesn't matter. Huaqingxue can extract it by itself, but it's more troublesome.

——Popcorn with butter is delicious. It's worth the effort.

Hua Qingxue asked the waiter to help her bag the corn first and said she would come back later. She wanted to go elsewhere to see if she could buy fresh milk.

If you want to refine butter, you have to put fresh milk into a container and stir it continuously. Goat milk can be stirred for hundreds of times. After stirring, some white semi-solid will float above the milk, take out the white oil with a sieve, squeeze out the water, and then refine it into butter.

Although we know the method, it is cumbersome and troublesome to make. Huaqingxue still hopes to find the finished butter.

I walked a few streets and was actually bought by her!

It is said that the butter was bought from herdsmen in the north. Usually no one buys it, so there are not many goods. The whole store is only two large pieces of butter the size of bricks.

Hua Qingxue checked the quality and found that the quality of the butter was very good and mellow. He was overjoyed and bought all the butter!

Anyway, it's cold now. Even if you buy more, you're not afraid of the butter melting.

Hua Qingxue came home with butter and corn and couldn't wait to get into the kitchen to try a pot first.

She added a small piece of butter to the pot, heated it slowly over a low heat, then sprinkled a handful of corn grains, covered the bottom of the pot and covered it.

After finishing these, Hua Qingxue ran into the yard, picked up two bricks, picked them up with a cloth and pressed them on the pot cover. She was worried that the pressure in the pot was too high and would fly the pot cover!

Hua Qingxue added some firewood to the stove, and the fire began to burn. After a while, you can hear the crackling sound from the pot, which is very pleasant.

She quickly turned down the fire, then pressed the lid with one hand and carried the pot with the other, shaking it hard——

Shake and shake until your wrists are too sour, and the crackling sound gradually decreases.

Hua Qingxue patiently waited for the sound to almost disappear, and then safely opened the lid of the pot.

A burst of corn smell came to my face. It was very fragrant!

However, it's not finished yet. Hua Qingxue added a few spoonfuls of sugar to the pot and stirred it with a shovel. After the sugar melted, it stained the popcorn, and then filled the popcorn out of the pot!

——Sweet popcorn, done!

Hua Qingxue can't wait to taste one. It's really good luck. It's a great success for the first time. It's fragrant and sweet!

She smiled and bent her eyebrows. At this time, she heard the familiar sound of the wheels outside the hospital. Hua Qingxue picked up a bowl of popcorn and ran out, "aunt! I'll try something delicious for you! "

As soon as she ran out of the kitchen, she saw a tall and tough man appear at the gate of the hospital
