Chapter 722: Green Essence Rice
These are all tricks, but the advantage is that neither Xue Mingyu nor Princess Jiang Jun have eaten them.
Especially this green essence rice, which is a common thing eaten in early summer on the dinner table in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, few people in the capital know it.
Lin Nuannuan pulled Xue Mingyu to cook with her to help her.
This green essence rice is just a fun thing to eat, and it will be more fragrant if you make it yourself.
Dyeing the leaves, also known as the leaves of the black rice tree, is necessary for making green rice.
Three years ago, Lin Nuannuan had people bring saplings to the capital, just so that they could eat a green essence rice in early summer.
In addition to the Lin Guo Mansion, he also sent a lot to the Chengjun Palace, fortunately, he raised it well, and now if he wants to make green rice, he just needs to pick the leaves of the black rice tree.
The black essence rice made by the ancient method needs to go through "nine steaming and nine exposures", and Jiangnan people are still like this today.
It is to steam the rice, dry it, and then soak it in the leaf juice of the black rice tree, re-steam, re-dry and so on nine times, so that the black essence rice grains are hard, can be carried far away, and only need to use boiling water to soak the food when eating, which is a good product for home study tours.
This method of black essence rice, Lin Nuannuan once made for Xue Mingrui, and with the dried meat she made and the dried rice made with Chinese herbs, he reduced the pain of sleeping in the open a lot.
However, there is not enough time today, and it is not as good as making it that way, and it is fresh and delicious to eat on the same day.
"Sister Yu, go and wash the leaves of the black rice tree. ”
Instead of letting Xue Mingyu be alone and sad, it is better to find something for her to do.
Xue Mingyu also knew what Lin Nuannuan meant, she listened to Lin Nuannuan's instructions very cooperatively, and she didn't need the maids around her to do anything, and quickly washed the leaves of the black rice tree one by one and handed them to Lin Nuannuan.
Before Lin Nuannuan could take it, he was caught by Xue Minglang, who heard the news, and saw Xue Erye excitedly pinching a prismatic oval black tree rice leaf in his hand and turning around, and asked with great interest
"Can you eat it from leaves? How do you do this, let me try it." ”
With so many questions, Xue Mingyu couldn't help glaring at his brother, and said angrily:
"What are you doing, don't make trouble, a man, let's go back to Wen Shu quickly. ”
Xue Minglang couldn't help frowning, and before he was about to speak, he heard a shrill voice sound:
"Hey, second master, why are you here, don't take these pickled things, what is your identity, don't be like this. ”
This series of words immediately made Xue Mingyu's face sink like water.
She snatched the urn from Xue Minglang's hand, and said angrily:
"Go quickly, don't be here anymore!
Lin Nuannuan noticed that Xue Mingyu's face was indignant, and Xue Minglang's always gentle face flashed a trace of impatience at this time, as if he was trying his best to endure it, and as if he was hiding his boredom.
This man doesn't seem to be likable!
Lin Nuannuan couldn't help but look at the person who came, she had seen this person, wasn't she the only two old concubines by King Chengjun's side, Dai?
It's just a concubine's room, so Xue Minglang shouldn't be so forbearing? And Xue Mingyu just sneered at Xue Minglang, but she didn't say much, it didn't look like she had a temperament!
It is not an exaggeration to say that Princess Jiang Jun is the only pet for so many years, it is said that this sister and brother should not be so jealous of this Dai family?
Lin Nuannuan quietly took the leaves of the black rice tree in Xue Mingyu's hand, first took some less and put them in the mortar to rot slowly, then added some leaves to it, and then slowly scooped them.
Xue Minglang glanced at Lin Nuannuan, and saw that she was not looking at him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Dai Shi with a slight coldness in his voice:
"If Aunt Dai is fine, let's go back quickly. ”
"Second master, how can you treat me like this. ”
Dai's low groan and some self-pity made Lin Nuannuan shrink her neck, she didn't seem to have encountered such a pretentious voice for a long time.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth, and looked at Xue Minglang, this is a test, many rich and noble young men like to pity the old and the poor.
Well, no,
It should be a pity for the fragrance and the jade......
Ha ha......
Lin Nuannuan hurriedly lowered her head and couldn't help laughing, after all, this is the Chengjun Palace, and she is a guest, so she can't take care of some things.
She just looked up, and saw Dai throwing the corners of her eyes full of crow's feet all the way, and she couldn't help but tremble,
How long has it been since Dai Shi looked in the mirror and practiced well, looking at it from his own point of view, it was really lead powder pouring down, and two or three lines of tears were added, like that, it was simple!
I can't bear to look at it!
Lin Nuannuan couldn't help but glance at Xue Minglang again, forget it, for the sake of him, he is Xue Mingrui....
Ahem,
For the sake of him being Sister Yu's younger brother, let's help him, otherwise after a while, I guess I won't eat this black essence rice, and I will be full.
"Minglang, aren't you trying to help me?"
Lin Nuannuan handed Xue Minglang the half-eaten leaves of the black rice tree, and briefly explained a few words to him, so that he could lick it like this.
"Miss Nuan, how can you ask our second master to do things, he is a noble person!"
Dai's ears are quite pointed, didn't he bow his head and cry, and his reaction was really fast!
Lin Nuan warmed her stomach and soaked the rice in Xue Minglang's juice, Xue Mingyu thought it was funny, and she also followed her example.
Xue Minglang had never done this, he only regarded it as a fun thing, and his strength was used for a while, and the juice of the mortar splashed on his face at once, and he wiped it with his hand, just smearing a black line.
"Haha, forget it, I'll do it. ”
Lin Nuannuan pointed to the black juice on Xue Minglang's face and said with a smile.
"Just laugh at me, I'm not trying to help you, little girl, what are you laughing at. ”
Xue Minglang deliberately pretended to be an old man, and said with a straight face.
Well, he's still young, let's let him.
Lin Nuannuan couldn't help laughing, took out a handkerchief, and only then did she want to hand it to Xue Mingyu, but she heard that the Dai family began to be unrelenting again:
"Oh, I said Miss Nuan, you're still a lady, why don't you know how to avoid suspicion, is your family... Oops..."
Before Lin Nuannuan could make a sound, she saw a black shadow flash at the door, and then the Dai family fell to the ground, oops.
Lin Nuannuan felt that someone must have made a move.
She glanced at Xue Minglang, and saw Xue Minglang shake his head, glanced at her again, and looked at the door.
That's the black shadow I just saw?
But what about the shadows?
Why is it gone?
Lin Nuannuan rubbed her eyes, was she dazzled?
Then how could Xue Minglang see it?
She looked at Xue Minglang again, and saw that Xue Minglang just shook his head, but turned his face and began to laugh again.
"Nuan Nuan, haha...... Ninety steps and a hundred steps of laughter, haha...... You're still laughing at me. ”
Xue Minglang pointed to Lin Nuannuan's face and couldn't stop laughing.
Okay, I just forgot that I had the sap of the black tree in my hands, and if I rubbed it like that, wouldn't it make my face all over my face?
Now you don't have to give the handkerchief to others, it's better to wipe it yourself.
Lin Nuannuan wiped it slowly, muttering in her heart:
This Dai's is really not sick in the brain?
