During the lunch break, it was quiet all around, and a few vines climbed the blue brick wall.

The emperor is far away, two doors and one pass, each family manages its own family, and it is customary to take a half-hour holiday at noon, and the palace daughters and eunuchs are willing to take a break, willing to take advantage of the sun to sew something up, and willing to walk around with the little sisters.

As long as you don't go too far, the housekeeper and the eunuch turn a blind eye, and this is the best time of the day for everyone.

In the inner palace, it is bitter, and the palace people in each palace are all detained in their own courtyards, and they can't go out, their left leg is stepping, and their right leg is wasted, and whoever appears in the courtyard of the other palace will be killed.

At the beginning, she was in the Qianqiu Palace for three years, except for helping Xu Yi to send things to Concubine Shun, she never left the gate of the Qianqiu Palace.

Leng Buding thought of those people and those things again, Han Chuan shook his head viciously, and wanted to throw all these things out!

Thinking about things, the foot is fast, unconsciously into the Huanyi Bureau, the sun is shining, there are only three or two little girls who have not left their heads by the side of several large pools tiptoe to dry, Han Chuan stopped one and asked, "Has Mama Zhong rested?" ”

The little maid shook her head and replied in a childish voice, "Not yet!" Mama is in the warm pavilion to the booklet. ”

This old lady is in good spirits, she looks at the account book day and night, and Han Chuan suspects that this old lady has silver horns hidden in her pillow...

Han Chuan touched a piece of maltose over, turned to the warm pavilion, patted his chest at the door, cheered himself up, put down the warm pot and knocked on the door three times.

"Come in!"

Han Chuan pushed the door in.

With the door closed to check the ledger, the old lady was reluctant to even light an oil lamp, and the paper-paste window on the east side was suddenly cut a big hole! The old lady was hunched over her waist, pulling the abacus with the light that came out of the hole!

I'm convinced!

Han Chuan was dumbfounded.

The room was dark, and Mama Zhong squinted and looked at it for a while before she recognized it, it was the girl who looked expensive yesterday, and then looked at the warm pot in her hand, and then remembered that she felt that this girl was good-looking and likable, so she gave half a pot of hot water, which was mostly a warm pot.

"Put it there!" Mama Zhong Nunu mouthed, didn't take it seriously.

Han Chuan put down the kettle according to his words, looked around, fortunately, the old lady was willing to use a small tandoor to boil hot water, Han Chuan put the cloth pocket on the table, lifted the oil paper layer by layer, and the porcelain lid was opened, and a strange sweet fragrance popped out.

Han Chuan took the hot water and scalded a teacup, scooped three spoons of black powder noodles in the porcelain, saw that the water was boiling, and rolled up the teapot handle with his sleeve on the ground, and rushed it, the sweet fragrance was stirred up by the boiling water, the burnt aroma of the sesame seeds after roasting and crushing, the rich fat fragrance of the melon seeds, the sweetness of the dried and chopped red dates, the slightly sour smell of barley and lily were mixed together, and a complex and mellow white smoke rose in the early autumn and midsummer days of early September.

There was also a small box of yellow sugar in the cloth pocket.

Yellow granulated sugar is sucrose, not sweet, coarse grains, stirred in the sesame paste with small bubbles, and after a while, it melts into a pale sweetness.

Mama Zhong sniffed the aroma and involuntarily put down the abacus and ledger.

Han Chuan sent the bowl to Mama Zhong with both hands, pursed her lips and smiled, "Please use it." This is the sesame noodles fried in our inner dining room, which is different from other sesame batters, we have no bitter taste, only sweet and fragrant. Don't look at this little bowl of sesame paste, but it takes some effort - the sesame seeds are first taken with cold water for two days, and then put them in the sun for two days to get rid of the bitter taste, and then fry the barley, lily, lotus seeds with the heart, red dates, peeled sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and almonds with a tea handle, and then crush them one by one. ”

Fragrant, so fragrant.

Mama Zhong inhaled.

Who doesn't know that the things in the imperial dining room and the inner dining room are all good things? But it's all for the master! Out of the inner dining room, no one thinks!

In addition, she and the aunt Zhang in charge of the inner dining room were like a cat and a dog, and they didn't think about it, but they bit it.

Mama Zhong stretched out her hand to take it, scooped it and tasted it, and as soon as the tip of her tongue was on it, her eyes widened involuntarily.

Sesame paste, who hasn't eaten it?

They are all rotten things in the market, and the materials are cheap, no better than bird's nest, peach gum, ginseng or something.

But it's this thing that tests the craftsmanship, otherwise how can the screening criteria of the imperial dining room be a simple fried crab roe?

This bowl of sesame paste is more fragrant than all the sesame paste she has eaten in the first half of her life, a whole bowl can hardly taste grainy, more than a dozen flavors are all melted together, and the timing of the yellow sugar is very good, it has melted thoroughly but has not yet sunk.

Mama Zhong did not hesitate, and followed by the second, third, and fourth mouthfuls after one bite, and the bowl was at the bottom after a while.

Han Chuan secretly exhaled a long breath in his heart.

I haven't touched the ingredients for too long - after Xu Yi died violently, there was no point in her cooking, Zhang didn't allow An Ge'er to eat her cooking, and she didn't have Yaxing to cook and drink herself. This can of sesame batter is now ground after she woke up, others grind sesame paste is almost the same, grinding and grinding, she took a ten-pound jade spoon and grinded it for five hours, grinding it to be as fine as touching silk, and then it was alive.

Han Chuan smiled and poured a cup of hot tea for Mama Zhong, "After eating the sweet, drink the tea to relieve the greasy." Han Chuan has always been not good at words, and now he is not good at it, and after meditating in his heart, he made this passage clear, "You were merciful yesterday and rewarded the maid with hot water and a warm pot, the maid has no long things, thinking that you are busy with noble affairs, and there may be a chance to have breakfast in the morning, this sesame paste is convenient and nourishing, so I want to give you a return gift." ”

After saying this, Han Chuan's palms were sweating.

Talking to Xu Yi, she never thought about it so much, what Xu Yi said, she listened to it, and answered from time to time, and she didn't deliberately flatter, now think about her clumsy tongue, it's not easy to live well in the palace and the palace for so many years.

Mama Zhong took out a piece of silk and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Repay the peach!" You're still obedient, what's your name? Chu'er? ”

Han Chuan nodded and laughed, "Han Chuan, the surname is He outside." If you call me Chu'er, it's done. ”

"Gotcha." Mama Zhong nodded, "What's the matter?" Want the sisters of the Raccoon Bureau to help with a little needlework? Looking for a silk dress to wear? Or is there a lack of pancreatic plate oil? ”

The mouth of the cannibal is short, and Mama Zhong does not bend.

Han Chuan raised his head and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "I want you to remember, Chu'er wants to ask for a favor for the little sisters who entered the palace in the same batch." ”

This made Mama Zhong quite surprised, "Who?" ”

"Xiao Qiu'er." Han Chuan pursed his lips and said, "I heard that there is a vicious dog chasing her, you are the housekeeper of the Huanyi Bureau, and the second-class eunuchs in the court have to give you a face." Please take care of Xiao Qiu'er, don't let her be bitten by a puppy. ”
