Xia Changyan's words meant something, and Lin Banxia couldn't help but think of the bowl of tea after yesterday's boxing.

Wouldn't this Highness have sent someone to spy on her?

She chuckled: "It doesn't seem to be much different from what I drank in the palace." ”

Xia Changyan picked up the bowl: "This king forgot to give you a set of tea sets, as well as tableware." ”

Lin Banxia said sincerely: "Then Your Highness would like to taste it, or will I change a bowl of tea for Your Highness?" ”

Xia Changyan looked down at the sugar water, the color was slightly cloudy, he hesitated for a moment, brought the bowl to his lips with a little disgust, and sipped it slightly.

The taste of the sugar water is a little unexpected, slightly sweet, with a little indescribable taste, not very tasty, but just quenching thirst.

"Isn't Your Highness used to drinking? This is squeezed out of sorghum straw, which is precipitated overnight, and the purity needs to be processed again. ”

"It's fine." Xia Changyan answered the previous sentence first, and then drank all the sugar water in a big gulp, "It was also taught to you by your master?" ”

Lin Banxia smiled: "When the sorghum is ripe in any year, the children in the village will chew the straw to satisfy their hunger." The more you see, the more ideas you have. ”

As he spoke, he came over with a bundle of straw, "Your Highness, do you want to try it yourself, it's very fun." ”

The word funny, since Xia Changyan remembers, no one has said him.

Every move since I can remember is a rule, even if it is for fun, it must be lined with identity.

He watched Lin Banxia move the stool in front of the strange thing and beckoned to him, as if it was really a fun thing to do.

By the time he reacted, he had already sat down.

The shredded sorghum straw was thrown into the opening above, the crank was slightly strained, and the creaking sound grinded against the ears, and the brown liquid dripped down, and the broken sorghum straw residue fell to the ground from the front.

"Isn't it fun?" Lin Banxia added some straw sticks, and simply put the wooden basin containing straw sticks in Xia Changyan's hand.

Xia Changyan shook it twice, and when he reached out and grabbed the straw and sent it to the feed port, he suddenly realized what he was doing.

He paused, a little incredulous.

Why did he come here to do this?

But it's a bit ...... Playful.

Squeak, squeak, neither of them spoke for a while.

Lin Banxia didn't believe that Xia Changyan came by the way while hunting, she was just a country girl, and she was not worthy of a prince who came to see her "by the way".

But it was still surprising that someone was sent to spy on her.

Taste carefully, she didn't even feel angry.

In terms of facts, in ancient sayings, as a prince, it is understandable, natural, and can be used.

"The straw is not very well pressed, and it is okay to eat it at home, but if it is mass-produced, the machine needs to be improved."

Lin Banxia didn't ignore the slight changes in Xia Changyan's eyes, "The sugar solution is not pure enough, there are many impurities, and the color is not good enough." ”

Lin Banxia said and stood up, "I'm slow, Your Highness, can you let your guards come and help crush the straw?" ”

Seeing that Xia Changyan seemed to have an angry look in his eyes, and the movements in his hands stopped, Lin Banxia smiled slyly: "I got too much, just try to see if you can make white sugar." ”

The two words of white sugar were just saying what Xia Changyan thought in his heart, and he looked up at Lin Banxia: "Miss Lin can make white sugar?" ”

"I always have to try it, but ......" Lin Banxia looked sideways at Xia Changyan, "The tofu is dedicated to the magistrate, and the black bear is dedicated to His Royal Highness, this candy, I want to keep it for myself." ”

"Keep it for yourself?" Xia Changyan repeated as if chewing, "How to keep it?" ”

Lin Banxia cleaned his hands in the basin, wiped them dry, and brought another wooden basin into the firewood room, and when he came out, there was more than half a basin of white noodles in the wooden basin.

"After eating white noodles, occasionally eating a bean noodle, it is a spice taste, I am used to eating the throat of rice, and then I taste sorghum rice is very poor."

Lin Banxia scooped hot water from the pot and poured it on one side of the basin, then stirred it with chopsticks to form a flocculent, and then changed the cold water and poured it on the other side.

"Thanks to the reward of His Highness and the county order, my father and mother have some silver taels in their hands, which is enough to make more of these machines and hire people to squeeze the syrup.

I only need to precipitate all the impurities in the syrup to make a more pure taste of white sugar, and in the future, my family's mud thatched house will be replaced with a green brick house.

What does Your Highness think? ”

The cotton wool quickly turns into a dough under your hands, and the more you knead it, the smoother it becomes.

"Miss Lin thinks that your ideas will be easy to realize?" Xia Changyan asked rhetorically.

Although Xia Changyan hadn't personally asked about this kind of thing, it didn't sound like Lin Banxia was so easy to say.

"Originally, it was not easy, but when His Highness came in, it was easy." Lin Banxia patted the dough and brought it aside to cover the curtain, "Does Your Highness like to eat sugar cakes?" ”

"What?" Lin Banxia's topic suddenly jumped again, and Xia Changyan was caught off guard.

"If you plan to bake sugar cakes at noon, you will use these precipitated syrup, is Your Highness interested in tasting the coarse tea and light rice of the farmer?"

Lin Banxia smiled, as if he was not a prince in front of him, but a person who was alongside her identity.

"Okay." Xia Changyan felt that since he entered this small courtyard, he was led by Lin Banxia everywhere.

But Lin Banxia said it too casually, so casually that people could ignore it.

Lin Banxia burned the fire under the stove bigger, added wood, carefully took out the blackened charcoal and put it aside, and added sorghum rice to the pot.

Only then did he continue the original topic: "What about the original...... Since it's not important, let's ignore the past, Your Highness, and we can talk about the present.

Let's talk about how sorghum straw can be pressed to produce more syrup, and how syrup can become brown sugar and even white sugar. ”

Lin Banxia stood in front of the stove in this small courtyard, as if she was standing on her battlefield, and every sentence said what Zhongxia Changyan was thinking at the moment.

Since Xia Changyan entered this small courtyard, Lin Banxia has been deliberately guiding the topic, from downplaying the gap between their identities after being surprised, to trying out Xia Changyan's true purpose.

She guessed the purpose of his visit, and quietly led him into the trap she had set.

"There's no hurry." Xia Changyan smiled slightly, "I'm more interested in Miss Lin's sugar cakes." ”

Xia Changyan changed the topic as Lin Banxia looked before.

"It's easy." Lin Banxia turned his back to Xia Changyan and put a smaller pot on the small stove: "I forgot to thank Your Highness, this iron pot is really better than the pottery pot." ”

Add a piece of meat oil to the pot, boil, add two tablespoons of syrup to boil, and then sprinkle some noodles and stir evenly to make sugar and oil pastry.

Lin Banxia has always had a plan in mind to do things, and since Xia Changyan ignored her proposal, she could also calm down.

I turned around and took the dough and kneaded it on the panel, divided it into agents of the same size, rolled it into a thin round skin, coated it with a layer of puff pastry, cut it with a few knives, folded it in turn in the middle, and threw it aside, and then made the next one.

Xia Changyan had never been in the kitchen, and it was the first time he knew that there was such a process for pancakes.

Look at Lin Banxia, who is calm and easy, and Lin Banxia, who has just talked eloquently, seems to be like two people.

It's completely different from the day when the bow shot arrows.

Which one is Lin Banxia, but none of them seems to be all Lin Banxia.
