040 Sugar cheese with cherries 2
The room was silent, and Ning Ying stared intently at the tip of the knife in her hand—and after a while, she finally removed the core of the entire small bowl of cherries.
She washed the cherry juice from her hands in the basin, wiped her hands on a coarse cloth and cloth, and suddenly remembered that among the previous rewards, there was a pale pink glass jar—the size and shape of which were used to hold this dish of sugar cheese and cherries.
She immediately asked Qing Yang to look for it.
After a while, the glass cup was brought out - the crystal clear glass cup showed a faint cherry pink, and the edge of the glass cup was also made into the shape of petals.
Ning Ying flicked her wrist and poured the cherries in the small bowl into it.
It's just eight or nine points full.
There's still a little space, just enough to be poured with cheese.
Ting'er laid her hands on the side and lit a plum blossom stove.
Ning Ying neatly poured a whole bowl of sugar-steamed cheese into the pot.
A small flame licked the fireside.
When the cheese is warmed by heat, it is semi-solidified, but it quickly melts somewhat.
This heating time must not be long—only a moment later, Ning Ying quickly asked Ting'er to extinguish the fire, poured the warm cheese evenly on the cherries, and set it aside to cool.
She turned around and took the cane sugar cube from the small spice jar next to her, threw it into the pot, and used the residual heat of the small pot to melt the cane sugar cube into a sweet sucrose syrup.
Then pour the cane syrup evenly over the cherries and puff pastry.
As soon as the hot cane syrup meets the cold sugar cheese, it is immediately drained.
Ning Ying held the glass cup steady, turned her left hand slightly, controlled the speed with her right hand, and used a clean spoon to slowly arrange the edges of the syrup flowing down into the shape of petals.
Finally, she asked Qing Yang to bring the ice cubes wrapped in cotton cloth from the cherry basket and chill it through the glass cup for a while to solidify it.
In this way, a dish of sugar cheese topped with cherries is ready.
The sugar cheese is thick and moist, and it is as white as snow; The cherries are sweet and juicy, with a fruity aroma.
The two colors of red and white are matched together, bright and distinct, a bit like a strawberry ice cream cake.
Ting'er's eyes were straight when she looked at the side.
Ning Ying was almost reluctant to insert the little silver spoon!
……
Forbidden city.
Next to Zhaoxiang, Shang Shufang.
In the twenty-third year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi chose the place where the prince opened his study in the southeast side of the Qianqing Palace, which was called the Shang Study.
Because the words "Shang" and "Shang" are common, there are also those called the study.
Here the door opens to the north, a total of five, for the prince to study.
The easternmost study has a back door and a garden surrounded by a promenade.
At this time, the sunny light filled the window, and the flower branches stretched into the window lattice, stirring the spring light of a room.
The younger brothers couldn't sit still, rubbing around in the chairs, and couldn't help but turn their heads to look out the window, although their mouths were still reading, their minds had already flown outside.
The fourth elder brother was sitting precariously, looking like his heart was like water, staring intently at the textbook in front of him.
In the Forbidden City, when the princes were about five or six years old, they had to go to the study room to study and study their homework.
But when can I leave the study?
But there was never an accurate answer.
In fact, when most princes reach the age of fifteen, they will be given titles, and then they will move out of their brother's office and build a mansion and marry outside.
According to common sense, although he is still a teenager, since he has already started a family, he is an adult, and he doesn't have to go to the Shangshu anymore.
But this is not the case: because Kangxi himself had a troubled childhood, so after he sat down in the country, he was determined to find the best teacher in the world for the princes to study, and he would often inspect the princes' classes.
If the princes slack off, they will be reprimanded by Kangxi.
Therefore, the vast majority of the princes who have just been divided still honestly go to the Shangshufang to study and improve their homework.
The so-called "cold and summer, although married and knighted, never stop studying" refers to this situation.
The fourth elder brother and a few older brothers were reading, and suddenly found that the little brothers around them were all gone.
It turned out that Fang Cai, while the master and his brothers were immersed in studying, several younger brothers went out one after another.
Everyone was playing in the garden next to them.
Galaha is a Manchu word meaning sheep's kneecap, also called sheep crutch.
This game uses sheep crutches as props - don't look at the props are simple, but they are very interesting, and they are not tired of playing, and they are also traditional games of the Manchu people.
Because they were afraid that the master would hear the movement, several little brothers reminded each other, closed their mouths and didn't make a sound.
But the little eunuchs next to him were frightened, kowtowed, and almost didn't pick up a few little brothers and went back.
After a while, the master really slapped the table in the study, and exclaimed angrily: "What about people! ”
The fourteenth elder brother Yinyu was only seven years old, and when he heard the movement, he couldn't help but laugh and laugh, and his little hand grabbed the tenth elder brother next to him and shook it: "Ten elder brother!" The master is in a hurry! ”
Brother Ten is five years older than him, and although he is naughty, he is still an honest child in his temperament.
He was born in a noble family, his maternal grandfather was Ji Bilong, his biological mother was Wen Guifei Niu Hulu, and his aunt was the second queen of Kangxi - Empress Xiao Zhaoren.
This combination - basically except for the crown prince, no one in the imperial brother can surpass him.
That is, because the mother's family is too noble, and there are many dogmas raised since childhood, so that the tenth elder brother is always a little unconsciously restrained when he encounters trouble.
As soon as he heard the master's call, the tenth elder brother was a little panicked, immediately put away the gaha, and turned his head to look at the ninth elder brother Yinyu: "Ninth brother, let's go back!" ”
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are the same age, both born in the twenty-second year of Kangxi, but they are much bolder than the tenth elder brother and have many ideas.
Hearing this, he rolled his eyes, shook his head indifferently and said, "I'm afraid of what he will do!" ”
The tenth elder brother stood up, pulled the ninth elder brother's sleeve and pulled the person back.
The fourteenth elder brother followed majestically and proudly.
When he arrived in the house, the master stared at Brother Jiu with a rebellious face.
The master's beard trembled with anger.
Are you still reasonable?
He held the precept tightly in his hand: this precept is quite new and not commonly used - although the emperor has repeatedly emphasized respect for teachers to his brothers, after all, these boys, big and small, in front of him are not ordinary rich children.
You can't beat and scold unless you have to.
But when he was really angry, he couldn't care about it so much.
"Read!" The master glared and shouted loudly.
Brother Jiu sat down with a lazy face, and sure enough, when he opened the scroll and read the book, he let go of his throat, and shouted louder and louder as he sang.
Good guys, this is a demonstration coming!
The fourteenth elder brother didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, stretched out his little hand to cover his mouth, and chatted beside him.
Brother Jiu not only let go of his voice to read, but also accompanied by movements-the sleeves of his robe embroidered with gold brocade brushed around on the table, stained with ink, and splashed everywhere with his movements.
The master was caught off guard, and his face was stained with a few drops of black ink.
Brother Ten thumped his hands violently, sighed again and again, and didn't dare to say anything.
