248 In the lively New Year, it is necessary to make glutinous cakes

"Smiling, I'm back! Although it took a lot of time for the court to go to court this morning, it was because some old ministers were arguing in the court about whether it was better to emphasize military force over literature, or whether it was better to emphasize literature over military force, and now there is no war in the country, so there is no major matter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info These old ministers seem to be getting older and better, and it's a topic that is destined to have no results, and they are discussing it so lively, it's really losing their energy. Yan Qihao said as he walked into the room. When Zhan Xiaoyan heard his voice, he stopped what he was doing and came out of the space with the child in his arms.

"The current Northern Yan Kingdom has always been very stable, and nothing major has happened, so even if it is in the early dynasty, it is only about some things such as taxation and building temples, which are all internal problems of the country, so they are all very easy to solve. That's fine, otherwise if there is a big friction with the other three countries, there will be a war, which is not what we are happy to see. Yan Qihao said after pouring himself a cup of tea.

"Of course you are good, because I think that if there is really a war, you will definitely ask the emperor to lead troops to fight, which is not what I am happy to see. Because you can protect the Northern Yan Kingdom with the emperor, once there is a war, I believe there will be more problems, so this is good, everyone just wants to be stable for a lifetime. ”

Zhan Xiaoyan put the child on the bed, checked her diaper, it was not wet, and she had just been fed, so she was not hungry. I also touched her forehead and body, there was no heat, and there was no injury, so it was not uncomfortable. If none of these three are the same, then she lacks a sense of security, after all, she just woke up, and she didn't hold her anymore. However, it may also be because his father came back, so he subconsciously cried, so Zhan Xiaoyan put the only one in Yan Qihao's arms and let him hold it.

"Alright, I'm going to get ready for lunch. You hold one by one and stay with her for a while, she is insecure now, and she will cry because your father comes, so you can accompany her. Zhan Xiaoyan walked out after speaking, although there is a cook in the palace, but if she occasionally wants to cook by herself, it is okay.

An hour later, Zhan Xiaoyan came up with the last soup, although the other dishes could be prepared quickly, but because the soup was still boiled, Zhan Xiaoyan started to stir-fry the dishes in the next half hour, and the time of more than an hour was just to boil the soup. Even if the soup is relatively simple, if it is not boiled for a long time, it will not be able to fully absorb the flavor, so the soup is also about heat and time.

"Alright, Qihao, hurry up and come out to eat! If Yiyi is already asleep, you put her down, or if you are afraid that she will wake up, you can put her on the cot and push her over, and we can take care of her while we eat. In the past, when there were only two of us, I didn't think that with her, there would always be more concern, and we were also willing! Zhan Xiaoyan came over to call Yan Qihao, but he didn't enter the room, and said to him at the door.

"Smiling, what do you think of the next arrangement? Because now that we have children, although it is good to stay in the palace all the time, we usually have to go out to play occasionally. But I think we've almost all the places in Beiyan Kingdom, and although we also know what places are fun, there will always be a little less freshness. Yan Qihao suddenly asked.

"Okay, Qihao, don't you think it's too early for you to think about this now? Because Yiyi is only a little over a month now, and she is not very old, even if we take her to play, she doesn't know, because she hasn't started to remember yet. Later, when she is older and begins to remember, we will take her to play in the places we have been, even if we have been to places many times, but because of her, there will be many more differences. Zhan Xiaoyan answered him while making him soup, he really thought too much.

"You! I know she doesn't have a memory yet, and the reason why she's saying this to you now is only because she thought about it for a while. And I think we'll have at least three or more children, but I don't want the age difference between them to be more than five years. In fact, I wanted the first child to be a son at the beginning, not because of patriarchy, but because if the first child was an older brother, I could protect my younger siblings. But now that the first child is already a daughter, of course it is also very good, we will take good care of her, let her grow up healthily, I hope that the second child is a son, and the only one is not too far away. ”

Yan Qihao touched his daughter's little face, and then kept looking at her gently and said. Because in this world, women are more difficult than men, so he hopes that his first child with Xiaoyan will be a son, and he will be able to protect his younger siblings in the future. But now that she's a daughter, that's good, and everything just goes naturally.

"Hehe, I see. But I think it's the same for both boys and girls, and it doesn't necessarily mean that boys are meant to protect their younger siblings. Because no matter whether our first child is a daughter or a son, they all grow up little by little from a very young age, and in this process, we as parents need to give them care and care, protect them, love them, and let them grow up healthy, which is what we should do. Knowing Yan Qihao's thoughts, Zhan Xiaoyan felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.

Because she never thought about giving birth to a son or a daughter, she never thought about giving birth to a son or a daughter, and she didn't feel that because she was the first child, she could protect her younger brothers and sisters. Because no matter whether the first child is a boy or a girl, she will get along well with other children, not to mention that this is still the first child, for her, there will always be something different.

Time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye it is the New Year, this year Zhan Xiaoyan and Yan Qihao took the only one into the palace to participate in the palace banquet, she is now more than four months old, and she is even more cute than when she was born before, so the elders like to hug her. And Yan Wei really doesn't recognize life, no matter who hugs her, she won't cry, but will cooperate with the people who tease her. It is precisely because of this situation that more and more people like to hug her.

Seeing such a scene, Zhan Xiaoyan will always have a feeling that no matter who hugs her, he can take her away. But fortunately, the people who came to the palace were all people they knew and trusted, so she just thought about it in her heart and didn't need to say it. Just like now, Yan Qijin was holding the little guy and drinking with the ministers, she didn't fall asleep at this time, let him hold herself, and pulled his beard from time to time, every time Yan Qijin didn't mind laughing.

The palace banquet ended when it was over, and the ministers went back in their own carriages, and it was the same, and then went to the morning court on the third day of the new year, of course, during this period, if the ministers wanted to enter the palace and the emperor to pay New Year's greetings, they also gave gifts that they carefully prepared, and they were not particularly precious as usual, but they were in line with the things sent during the New Year.

"Qihao, Xiaoyan, you come to have a family banquet with me again, let's have a good cup of tea as a family, let's celebrate the New Year together! Although the palace banquet has just ended, there are not too many people now, let's celebrate the New Year together! Yan Qijin directly hugged Yan Wei back to his study, and then said to Yan Qihao and Zhan Xiaoyan who followed up.

"Okay, then of course we have to celebrate the New Year together! And since we have entered the palace today to participate in the palace banquet, we are also ready not to return to the palace. As for the smiling brothers and sisters, we had already had the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with them at noon, so it was okay to stay in the palace tonight and watch the New Year together. Of course Yan Qihao doesn't mind, and he can go back on the first day of the new year tomorrow. After all, even if they are brothers, they can't be together all the time, not to mention that there is a smile and the only one.

The time to keep the New Year passed quickly, because the time at the end of the palace banquet was already the end of the season, so the three of them kept the time for less than an hour, and the New Year's bell rang, of course, there were people in the palace who were responsible for ringing the bell. The bell is only struck on New Year's Day, and then when important people in the palace die. According to the New Year, someone still passed away, and the length of the bell ringing is also different.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you're here! Grandpa said that he was going to fight glutinous rice cakes today, so the two elder brothers also played with him. Although generally speaking, this beating of glutinous rice cakes is only right in the previous year, but because we didn't think of playing it a year ago, and then when we had breakfast today, my grandfather suddenly proposed to fight, so the people in the mountain villa were busy preparing things, and we were about to start waiting. "When Zhan Xiaoyan and Yan Qihao left the palace after breakfast and came to the [Rinuan Villa], they saw a burst of chaos, and when they heard Zhan Xiaoning say this, they understood.

"Really? I'm going to make a lot of money! In that case, let's take a look, because the beaten glutinous rice dumplings must be soft and glutinous to be delicious, and the beaten glutinous rice dumplings can be eaten directly with sugar, and the taste is very good. Zhan Xiaoyan nodded, indicating that she knew, and then thought about her own favorite flavor of glutinous rice cakes, of course she liked to add milk and sugar to the glutinous rice cakes, it would be fragrant and sweet. In addition, you can also add brown sugar and sesame seeds to steam some, all of which are sweet, of course, in addition to the sweet glutinous cake, salty can also be made, and individuals can add sugar or salt to these seasonings according to their own taste.

Playing glutinous rice dumplings is very lively, although it is just their own people in the villa playing glutinous rice cakes together, but everyone is full of energy, and every time they hit will shout, whether it is the owner or the next person in the villa, in short, the men each hit ten times, and finally beat the glutinous rice cake is of course to achieve the ideal type of soft glutinous. Once the dumplings are beaten, it is already noon, so everyone will have lunch first, and then continue the second beating of the dumplings in the afternoon.

"Yan boy, you also saw how to make glutinous rice dumplings just now, and you have to make glutinous rice dumplings again in the afternoon. Although it may not be enough to fight from beginning to end, at least you have to finish most of it, and this glutinous smile is a favorite to eat! Before eating, Guan Lao said to Yan Qihao. Although he suddenly thought of beating glutinous rice cakes today, since he wanted to fight, of course he had to fight well, and he had to fight more, at least enough for everyone in the villa to eat.

"Okay, grandpa, I'll try my best to make glutinous rice dumplings in the afternoon, and I believe I will definitely be able to make good glutinous rice cakes. And although this beating of glutinous rice dumplings seems to be very simple, in fact, the strength of each of them must be the same, and then this time the beating of glutinous rice cakes also needs to be controlled, and there is also knowledge in it! So wait for grandpa, you have to teach me first, then I can make a good glutinous meal! Yan Qihao also agreed. Although he had never tried it before, it would be good to try it now.

In the afternoon, it was still very lively, as Guan Lao expected, when Yan Qihao started playing, he was still not very proficient, and his strength was not well controlled. But in the back, he gradually became proficient, and his control became better and better. Originally, it was a specially made wooden hammer that was used to beat the glutinous rice cakes, so it is not as easy to be stressed as the iron hammer, and if the strength is not well controlled, you will not be able to hit the best glutinous rice cakes!

But in the end, of course, everyone did not work in vain, because the glutinous rice cake that came out in the end was really soft and glutinous, and everyone felt very satisfied after eating it. Beat the glutinous rice cake, add white sugar or brown sugar, and take a bite, it is really soft and glutinous, and it is delicious! However, because it is made of glutinous rice, it is now afternoon, so everyone can't eat more. It is not only because it is afternoon and you can't eat more as a snack, but also because you eat too much glutinous rice and are prone to indigestion.

"Okay, this time the glutinous rice dumplings are still very successful, let's put the rest of the glutinous rice cakes well, and wait until the next time we want to eat them, we can steam them and eat them. Although it is said that the first half of the year is summer, but because it is still the New Year, it is still relatively cold, and I am not afraid that the glutinous rice will not be saved, and it cannot be overnight! After eating the glutinous rice cakes, Yan Qihao and the others put away all the things that made the glutinous rice cakes one by one, and then looked at the two balls that were wrapped and said.

Because they didn't use the glutinous rice to entertain the guests, if they just ate it themselves, they wouldn't be able to eat it all in the day, so they had to put it away, put it in a basket, hang it, and wait until the next day to continue eating, so that it wouldn't spoil. (To be continued.) )
