In the evening, Xu Rujin secretly brought the butter left over from making beef jerky today, and the liquor, cloves, herbs, cinnabar, and green oil that Lin Chuan brought back to him.

She poured the liquor into a small pot and heated it with a kerosene lamp.

Then wrap the two spices of clove and herb with freshly harvested, impurity-free clean cotton, and put it into the slightly hot wine to absorb the flavor of the spices in the cotton with hot wine.

This is how to make fragrant wine.

Xu Rujin saw that Ye Chengwei had stopped wearing lipstick recently, thinking that the lipstick she had bought for him before was gone.

In her previous life, when she was learning to be a celebrity lady in the Shen family, she saw the ancient Chinese lipstick making method in a book in Shen Anruo's study.

I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

The absorption time of fragrant wine is 1 day and 1 night in summer, 2 days and 2 nights in spring and autumn, and 3 days and 3 nights in winter.

It's the end of July, so take it at least a day and a night.

Xu Rujin made lipstick for the first time, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he didn't plan to tell Ye Chengwei for the time being, and he would give it to him after it was done equally.

......

Early the next morning, Xu Rujin got up.

Ye Chengwei still got up early as always, Xu Rujin looked at Huang Huang who was honestly lying in the chicken coop, and wondered a little, why did this person sleep later than the dog and get up earlier than the machine?

"Why do you get up so early?" Xu Rujin and Ye Chengwei greeted each other.

Ye Chengwei put down the book, looked at the sky, and looked at the sleepy-eyed Xu Rujin, "It's not early, do you want to make snacks now?"

"Forehead......" Xu Rujin was a little embarrassed, "Do it, do it now." ”

Xu Rujin put the kidney beans that had been soaked in the middle of the night on the cage, steamed them until they were soft and glutinous, and pinched the powder with his thumb.

Only at this level can you start making kidney bean cakes.

Although kidney beans are inconspicuous, they are a famous court snack in ancient times and are deeply loved by the nobles in the palace.

The creamy nature of the steamed kidney beans gives the kidney bean cake a softer character than other pastries, and the texture is very creamy.

Kidney bean cake is ivory white and easy to color, Xu Rujin dyed the kidney bean cake with the soup made of red beans, and the kidney bean cake immediately showed the color of bean paste.

After that, she mixed some purple potatoes into it, and the kidney bean cake with the color of bean paste showed an elegant purple color.

At this time, the sky has gradually brightened, but everyone is still immersed in the fragrance of dreams.

There were two people in the kitchen, one was making snacks seriously, the other was studying seriously, and the firewood at the bottom of the stove occasionally burst out with a faint sound.

The boiling water in the pot began to gurgle and bubble, Xu Rujin saw that the time was almost up, opened the steamer, and the heat instantly dispersed in the already small kitchen, and it was suddenly hazy, like a fairyland.

Xu Rujin took out the cooked red, purple, and white kidney bean cakes, put them on a plate, and let them cool.

Before dawn, Xu Rujin used the faint light of kerosene lamps and firewood to knead red bean paste and purple potatoes into kidney beans with experience, but he didn't expect the color and appearance to be unexpectedly beautiful when he came out of the pot.

Xu Rujin took a kidney bean cake and handed it to Ye Chengwei. "Taste?"

Ye Chengwei is now accustomed to Xu Rujin's feeding, and naturally takes a small piece of kidney bean cake away with Xu Rujin's hand.

"It tastes good. Ye Chengwei wiped the corners of his mouth and nodded.

He didn't lie, this kidney bean cake tastes fragrant and glutinous, smooth and delicate, sweet but not greasy, which makes people want to eat another one after another.

When Xu Rujin first made kidney bean cake, he didn't add a little flour, and the kidney bean cake made in this way brought out the glutinous and refreshing characteristics of kidney beans to the fullest.

Because of the abundant ingredients, Xu Rujin made a lot, and she left a pound to use as today's breakfast and snacks.

I wrapped another pound and wanted to give it to Lin Chuan, so that he could take it to his family and fiancée to taste.

Now the relationship between the two families is no longer polite, and they will think about bringing each other with everything......

When Lin Chuan came to pick up the goods, he looked at the two large baskets of kidney bean cakes and beef cubes, and said half-jokingly: "Sister, you work so hard to make money to save a dowry for yourself, right?"

Xu Rujin smiled, not going to say too much, but said perfunctorily: "There are many people in the family, and there are many places to use money." ”

Lin Chuan naturally didn't believe this, "Your family of five, our family is also a family of five, and my big man is not as hard as you." ”

"Sister, tell your eldest brother, do you already have a sweetheart, and you will go to him when you save enough money?" Lin Chuan asked mysteriously.

"Brother Lin, don't make fun of me anymore. Xu Rujin didn't want to discuss this with him anymore.

Lin Chuan didn't give up, "Then you make so much money and don't spend it, isn......'t the eldest brother curious?"

"Who said I don't spend money. Xu Rujin pulled the broken hair from the corner of his forehead behind his ears, "Brother Lin, I want to buy a sewing machine, do you have a way to buy it?"

"You can use a sewing machine?" Hearing Xu Rujin's words, Lin Chuan was surprised.

Xu Rujin nodded, "I've learned a little before." ”

She didn't lie, in the Shen family before, Shen Anruo majored in fashion design in college, and Xu Rujin, who wanted to surpass her, taught herself fashion design at home.

Although there is still a long way to go to reach the professional level, it is also very sufficient in this era.

After all, the teachers invited by the Shen family and his wife for her are all cutting-edge talents in the industry, and their students are naturally not far behind.

Lin Chuan has already seen Xu Rujin's ability, and she said that Lin Chuan is naturally convinced, "I have a way, but it costs 150 or 60 yuan to buy a sewing machine, which is really not cheap." ”

When their family bought this thing back then, Lin Chuan made a lot of determination to buy it.

Because their family has eaten sweet potatoes for a month, even now, Lin Chuan is still a little nauseous when he thinks of sweet potatoes.

And big guys like sewing machines are also hard to find in small places like Liushutun, and you need to go to a department store to buy them. In this case, I am afraid that you will have to wait for a while before you can buy it.

"Are you in a hurry?" Lin Chuan asked, "If you are in a hurry, you can use our family first." ”

"Then Aunt Lin and Sister Lin's family don't use it?" Xu Rujin remembered that Lin Chuan said before that the sewing machine at home was bought by the Lin family and his wife for the people in the tunzi to sew and repair to subsidize the family.

"Hey, it's summer, and if your clothes are worn out, you don't have much need to sew them up. Lin Chuan waved his hand, "Our family's sewing machine is there now, and it hasn't been ringing for a long time." ”

"If you want to use it, I'll bring it to you tonight. Lin Chuan got on his bicycle, "Do you want to bring something back today?"

Xu Rujin thought for a while and replied: "Buy some duck offal, duck offal is cheap and the cost is low." ”

"I can do the same thing cheaper, so that I have more customers. Xu Rujin continued: "In the future, every day you come back, you will take back the remaining duck offal in the market, and we will start selling duck offal on a regular basis tomorrow, which can be regarded as a fixed income." ”
