Chapter 481: Sweet Brown Sugar (I)
()
Although Gao Ming had already told Xiao Lu the precautions when boiling brown sugar, he was still not at ease, so every half an hour or a stick of incense, he had to go into the kitchen to take a look, and after finding that everything was normal, he came out and continued to sit on the chair and doze off.
Time passed minute by minute, and under Gao Ming's careful guidance and Xiao Lu's hard work, in the evening, the brown sugar was finally boiled to almost the end.
Looking at the pot as viscous as magma and bubbling syrup, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.
The color of this brown sugar was much better than he had imagined!
"Now you can see the situation of the pot!"
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately raised his chin towards Xiao Lu.
"Little Green, don't stir it up yet, go get me a basin of cold water!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Xiao Lu immediately stopped working, and then quickly put a basin of cold water in front of him.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you want cold water!"
"Hmm!"
Looking at the cold water in front of him, Gao Ming nodded suddenly, then put his right hand into the basin and took a deep breath.
"Hiss......"
Just when Xiao Lu was a little strange about what Gao Ming was doing, he saw Gao Ming's right suddenly pull out of the basin and quickly grab the bubbling syrup in the pot!
The temperature of the syrup is very high, even much higher than boiling water, so after seeing this scene, Xiao Lu immediately gasped.
"Hiss......"
Gao Ming's speed was very fast, and before Xiao Lu could scream, he grabbed the syrup and put it back in the cold water.
At this time, his face also showed a sense of relief, and when he took it out of the basin of cold water again, a wisp of ice crystals also fell from his palm.
"It's done!"
Of course, Gao Ming's behavior just now was not to be cool or deliberately burned, he was carrying out the last process of boiling brown sugar - pulling sugar!
Put it in cold water first, let the cold water cover your palm with a layer of "protective film", and then quickly pull out a handful of sugar from the pot and put it into the cold water, while minimizing scalding, feel the syrup, so as to judge whether the brown sugar meets the standard of the pot.
This is an art that belongs to the sugar boiling family.
And all this, in Xiao Lu's opinion, can be called miraculous.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this ......"
Gao Ming knew what she wanted to ask, but Gao Ming didn't plan to tell it all, because it didn't hurt to maintain a certain sense of mystery.
Therefore, in the face of Xiao Lu, who was shocked, Gao Ming just smiled and waved at her.
"Alright, this sugar is almost done, remove the heat, take some bowls out by the way, and put all the sugar in the pot into the bowl!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Xiao Lu didn't dare to ask more, and after removing the fire, he hurriedly began to take a bowl of sugar.
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji also heard that the brown sugar was boiled, so he took the eldest grandson Yan to come over to see, and when he saw the kitchen full of bowls everywhere, he was immediately stunned.
"It's ......"
Compared with the eldest grandson Wuji, the only young eldest grandson Yan did not pay much attention to these bowls, but snorted "Xiuxiu", and then showed a look of amazement.
"Wow! It smells so good, I've never smelled it before! ”
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing the exclamation of Eldest Sun Yan, Gao Ming and Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but laugh together.
Gao Ming smiled as he took a pair of chopsticks and stirred them into the sugar pot, then handed the chopsticks covered with brown sugar to Changsun Yan's and touched his little head.
"Eat, be careful of the burn!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Changsun Yan suddenly subconsciously raised his head, glanced at Changsun Wuji standing next to him, and saw that Changsun Wuji nodded at him, so he carefully licked the brown sugar wrapped in chopsticks.
Under this lick, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It smells so good! It's so sweet! ”
Hearing his four-word evaluation, the smile on Gao Ming's face suddenly became even bigger, and he smiled again and rubbed Changsun Yan's little head.
"This is the first batch of brown sugar in Datang, you kid is the second person in Datang to have eaten brown sugar, this cow is enough for you to blow for a lifetime, hahahaha!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, the eldest grandson Wuji also laughed.
"Haha, Yan'er, this child is really blessed, I don't know if the old man has the blessing to become the first person in Datang to eat brown sugar?"
The meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji is very simple, that is, he also wants to try it.
Gao Ming understood what he meant, so he took another pair of chopsticks and stirred a "sugar stick" in the pot, then handed it to the eldest grandson Wuji, and grinned at him.
"Take it and lick it!"
“……”
Do you have to lick it for Mao? Lao Tzu doesn't lick it, Lao Tzu uses it to chew!
Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji opened his big mouth and took a bite of the brown sugar on the chopsticks, which immediately made him inhale.
"Hiss......"
Although the brown sugar was very hot, he was reluctant to spit it out, so he could only inhale the cold air and nod vigorously.
"It's hot! It smells so good! It's so sweet! ”
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing again.
At this time, Xiao Lu, who was putting brown sugar in the bowl, walked over, and then bowed to Gao Ming.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there are no more bowls!"
Hearing Xiao Lu's words, Gao Ming hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the eldest grandson Wuji blinked curiously.
"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still need a bowl? Lao Chen, let people buy it! ”
"No need!"
As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words fell, Gao Ming waved at him, and then pointed to the remaining brown sugar in the pot and laughed.
"Anyway, there's not much left, and this little brown sugar is just enough to cook some brown sugar eggs for Lizhi!"
Speaking of this, Gao Ming scooped a large scoop of water into the pot, stirred it in it with a spoon, and then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji while adding firewood to the stove.
"Uncle, is there any mash in your house, and you didn't let people go outside to buy some!"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Eldest Sun Wuji immediately nodded.
"There's it in the mash kitchen, right in the jar next to it!"
As he spoke, he scooped out a large spoonful of mash from the jar himself, and then looked at Gao Ming.
"Do you want to put this mash in the pot?"
"Hmm!"
After getting Gao Ming's words, the eldest grandson Wuji put all the mash in the pot, seeing this scene, Gao Ming smiled and nodded again, and then explained to him.
"Brown sugar mash egg soup can replenish qi and blood for the mother, and brown sugar is hot, so it is also suitable for the situation that Lizhi is not replenished, and after eating it for a few days in a row, her physical condition should be much better!"
Speaking of which, Gao Ming found that the water in the pot had begun to tumble, so he asked Xiao Lu to bring a basket of eggs, and then beat five or six eggs into it with a sharp "pop".
Seeing this scene, Eldest Sun Wuji immediately smiled and shook his head.
"Your Highness, it's too much, she has a small appetite, and she can't eat so many eggs!"
"I know!"
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Ming immediately nodded.
"She eats two, and I am left with four people to eat, recently I have hemorrhoids, I have shed a lot of blood, and I need to make up for it, uncle, do you want it?" I'll crack two more eggs in if I want. ”
"Uh......"
