046 Chilled bubble tea
Ning Ying thought about it, and while entering the hall, she asked Ting'er to call the little lotus seed in.
Xiao Lianzi entered the house, so cramped that she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet, and blindly hid behind Ting'er.
Qing Yang didn't look decent, frowned and reminded him in a low voice: "Come to Gege!" ”
Ning Ying looked at the hand in Xiao Lianzi's sleeve and trembled, she didn't expect him to be so timid.
She tried her best to soften her voice: "Don't be nervous, on the first day of moving today, I was thinking about arranging everyone's work, and I ordered and ordered, and there was nothing on the side." ”
In this way, the little lotus seed is really better.
In fact, Xiao Panzi also said today - what the fourth master means: move first now, and when you settle down, you will select a few slaves to send over.
After all, the land is now more than twice as big as before, and there are just two maidservants, one rough eunuch, but I am afraid that the work will not be able to turn.
In addition, if Ning Ying is not satisfied with the minions in the courtyard, she can also bring it up, send the person away, and then replace it with a new person.
Ning Ying looked at the three people in the room.
The eldest maid Qingyang has followed the original owner since she was a child, she is loyal, her feelings are not ordinary, and her status is unshakable.
The other Ting'er and Xiaolianzi are still young, and Ning Ying is not ready to replace them.
As for whether she wants to enter the new minion - she plans to spend a few days in the new courtyard first to see how it goes.
If there is not enough manpower, it should be added.
Ning Ying thought about it while carefully explaining the division of tasks and each person's one-third of an acre.
When it was time to eat in the evening, Ting'er followed Gege's instructions, and in addition to the normal meals, she also brought fresh milk and black and black tea back.
Ning Ying has been wanting to drink bubble tea recently, and now that she has a serious stove, she can finally let go of it to make this drink.
The pots and pans in the stove room are also prepared, and Xiao Panzi brought people to drag two large boxes of various kitchen utensils over - now it is not as shabby as before, when there were only a few plum blossom stoves.
There are large cauldrons and small pots, everything, and on the shelves of the narrator, there are blue and white porcelain seasoning jars neatly placed.
Ting'er was on the side to help.
After a small amount of water in the pot was boiled, Ning Ying poured the water and put a few pieces of brown sugar.
The brown sugar melts into the water and melts quickly.
Ning Ying stood in front of the pot, slowly stirring with a small wooden spoon to crush the brown sugar, while waiting patiently by the pot.
Seeing the brown sugar water bubbling and bubbling, Ning Ying asked Ting'er to extinguish the fire.
She poured the tapioca flour she took out of the cooking space and poured the right amount into the brown sugar water.
As soon as the tapioca flour absorbs the brown sugar water, it immediately gradually becomes dough - this step also needs to be controlled: if the dough is more and less water, the dough will be very tight and not easy to roll into pearl balls.
If there is more water and less noodles, the tapioca flour will be too thin to become a shape.
Fortunately, Ning Ying had tried this bubble tea several times before, and she had almost mastered the ratio of brown sugar water and tapioca flour.
The smooth dough comes out easily and exudes piping hot steam.
Ning Ying rubbed out the pearl balls one by one - because it was hot, she kept blowing on her hands while rubbing it.
After rubbing dozens of pearls in the small yard, I sprinkled tapioca flour and turned it back and forth more than a dozen times.
This is to ensure that each pearl is evenly coated with tapioca flour.
Ting'er had already replaced a larger pot and refilled the water.
Seeing that the water in the pot was boiling and steaming, Ning Ying raised her wrist and put the pearls completely into the pot, stirring while boiling to prevent them from sticking to the pot.
It is not until the whole pearl is transparent that it is fully ripe.
Ning Ying turned off the fire and loaded pearls.
Then she poured the black tea into another small pot of boiling tea on the plum blossom stove, and while boiling, she added milk, rock sugar, and a small amount of whipping cream, stirring gently.
After boiling, Ning Ying poured the pearl balls she had just made into the milk tea.
The black pearl balls roll in the black and black tea, the appearance is Q bomb, crystal clear, the sweetness of brown sugar and the fragrance of milk are blended together, and there is the mellow of tea.
It's nice and delicious.
Ting'er brought the tea cup and served it cup by cup.
Ning Ying likes the taste of ice, so she asked Ting'er to bring the ice cubes she brought back when she was eating, and put the milk tea in it to chill.
Taking advantage of this time, she made another pot next to her and fried some fries.
Wait until the fries are out of the pan, and the chilled original bubble tea is ready.
As soon as she had eaten a few bites, Wu Gege came over to give her the embroidery that had fallen.
This is what she borrowed from Ning Ying a few days ago, and it is also something left by the original owner, but Ning Ying forgot it when she moved.
Ning Ying asked Ting'er to pour her a cup of milk tea by the way.
Wu Gege glanced at the milk tea, and he couldn't walk under his feet, and his mouth was still reserved: "My sister moved on the first day today, but I'm so tired!" I can't disturb my sister's rest, I just send my sister an embroidery pattern, and I was going to put it down and leave......"
Then she picked up the milk tea and tasted the first sip, and there was no sound anymore.
……
A bend of the moon gradually hung on the branches.
In the front yard, the fourth elder brother was still reading and writing until very late.
Seeing this, Su Peisheng estimated that he wouldn't go anywhere tonight.
Sure enough, when it was time to go to bed, the fourth elder brother only ordered hot water to come in, and he was ready to sleep alone in the study.
While he was waiting for the servants to take off his boots, he thought about the Ning family's move today, so he asked Su Peisheng to call Xiao Panzi in.
Xiao Panzi happened to be not on duty tonight, and was making an account book in the slave duty room, as soon as he heard the fourth master calling, he rushed over in a hurry, and when he entered the house, he knelt down and threw his sleeves to say goodbye.
The fourth elder brother turned around and asked him, "Is Ninggege done there?" ”
Seeing that there was a look of anticipation on his face, Xiao Panzi hurriedly replied with a smile: "If you go back to the fourth master, please rest assured that the fourth master has done it properly!" The slave also asked Gege if he wanted to add some manpower? Gege didn't give a word for it......"
Yin Zhen nodded, and turned his head to look at Su Peisheng: "I picked someone as usual, and I prepared first." ”
Su Peisheng agreed repeatedly.
He also planned this in his heart: Ning Gege could think about it slowly, but if he, Su Peisheng, really waited for Gege to speak before making preparations......
Then he can pack his bags and go home.
Xiao Panzi finished reporting, while wiping his sweat, and was about to retreat, he saw the fourth brother's eyelids twitch, and his eyes fell on a small Xiaoice bucket next to him.
Summer nights are inevitably hot, and the quickest and most effective way to clear your mind is to use an ice bucket.
In the Forbidden City, there are nearly 20 official ice cellars, which are exclusively used by the emperor's concubines and princes and ministers - ice cubes are collected in winter, stored in cellars, and used in summer.
The ice cubes are packed in small ice buckets.
The so-called ice bucket is an evolution of the ancients' "Ice Bucket", made of wood, and the inner edge is lead or tin, so that even if the ice melts into water, it will not rot the wooden box after a long time.
