Chapter 248: Grinding Soy Milk

Regarding the arrangement of the aunts, Xiao Nianzhi is naturally well-behaved.

After eating the buns and drinking the porridge, she got up and got ready to work.

Yan Xingxuan came over at this time, taking Lai Shun and the guards with him.

Knowing that Xiao Nianzhi was going to grind soy milk today, how could he still sleep lazy, but he didn't come to help?

Xiao Nianzhi saw the person coming and nodded: "Brother." ”

Seeing the little girl turn her head, Yan Xingxuan felt his heart pounding again, he restrained himself and nodded: "Think about it." ”

There were no outsiders around, so Yan Xingxuan willfully called Xiao Nianzhi's nickname.

After approaching, Yan Xingxuan asked in a low voice, "Do you want to start now?" ”

Xiao Nianzhi pointed to the soy milk and nodded: "Let's get it now, I will order tofu later, and I still need to press tofu, it will take time." ”

Because there is no inner fat, it can only be replaced with plaster.

Hearing that Xiao Nianzhi said that it was okay to start, Yan Xingxuan directly arranged for the guards to go over.

How can you let a little girl get on the physical work of grinding soy milk?

The two guards quickly passed, and Lai Shun looked at the guards, then at the millstone, and then at his master, and then decided to follow his master silently.

Grinding soy milk is a live ......

His physical strength is really unbearable!

So, let's not join in the fun.

When Steward Qiu heard the news, they all came over to help.

They exchanged grinds with two guards, and soon the soy milk was polished.

Because it has been ground three times, the soy milk is very delicate.

The ground soy milk needs to be filtered, it needs to be steamed, and then it goes through a series of operations before it becomes tofu.

However, it does not take too long to press the tofu, because it needs to ensure that there is enough moisture in it and it is tender enough.

There should be Yan Xingxuan in the materials, but Xiao Nianzhi doesn't need to worry.

Because the tender tofu is prepared for supper, after grinding the soy milk, it is not in a hurry to cook, after filtering, you can temporarily put it aside, and when you use it at night, it can be boiled again, and then let it stand and press it into shape.

It doesn't take long, but it's hot, and the ground soybean milk needs to be put in the well water.

It's just that Xiao Nianzhi has a lot of beans soaked here, and Chef Shui saw it and asked if he could make tofu, and at night, he could also make a meal for the students.

Xiao Nianzhi didn't refuse, he kept a part of it, boiled the rest, and then took the brine to light it, set it, and press it.

When it comes to the pressing step, Xiao Nianzhi only needs to tell the time problem, and the rest of the chefs can make it.

The early steps belong to the tofu process, and none of these people in the canteen know how to ......

Well, in ancient times, this was normal.

After finishing the work, after having lunch again, Xiao Nianzhi took Yan Xingxuan back to the backyard.

The previous brew was delicious, and she was going to make a little while she had enough time.

The koji used to make sake is different from the one used in the past.

Sake brewing is more about adding desserts, so the koji naturally needs to be sweet.

So, sweet koji needs to be remade.

This takes a little time to ferment, but now the weather is good and the temperature is suitable, so it should be possible to ferment successfully in two or three days.

On the way back, Xiao Nianzhi told Yan Xingxuan about this matter while walking.

This is the ......

Yan Xingxuan didn't want to leave at all!

He didn't want to borrow any kind of food to make it, but when he thought of pomegranate candy, he felt that he should enter the palace.

Yan Xingxuan suddenly fell into a dilemma, and when he arrived in the backyard, he didn't even think about whether to stay and watch the production of sweet wine koji, or go back to the palace to get pomegranates.

In the end, Lai Shun quietly reminded: "Sweet sprinkling koji will still melt into the wine in the end, so it's better to go back and get pomegranates to be more cost-effective,"

After Yan Xingxuan listened, he thought carefully and felt that he ......

Ay?

That makes a lot of sense!

Take the pomegranate in the palace first, and by the way, take a look at the royal brother's private treasury, if there are any good things.

After thinking about it, Yan Xingxuan, when Xiao Nianzhi finished reporting the materials with Laishun, he whispered: "Think about it, I'm going to go to the palace and go to see the pomegranate, if the pomegranate doesn't arrive, I'll come back at night, if it arrives, I'll ......."

Speaking of this, Yan Xingxuan was embarrassed for a moment, but quickly recovered: "I'll come back at night too." ”

Anyway, whether the pomegranate came or not, he definitely didn't spend the night in the palace.

Hearing him say this, Xiao Nianzhi nodded, and was about to ask about Laishun's materials, when he heard Yan Xingxuan say, "You ordered Laishun to prepare something, and then let the guards send it over." ”

"Thank you, brother." Xiao Nianzhi heard that his materials were not affected, and hurriedly thanked him first.

Yan Xingxuan quickly took people back to the palace, and Xiao Nianzhi followed Steward Qiu to see the preserved eggs.

I'm going to make a preserved egg tofu at night, but now I can't take a look at the preserved eggs first.

If this thing doesn't work, then she might have to change the menu.

After reading it, I found that the production process of this thing was actually not bad, and Xiao Nianzhi was very satisfied.

Back in the backyard, there was nothing else to do for the time being, Xiao Nianzhi went to see how the osmanthus was drying again.

After two days in the sun, the moisture has completely dried.

Nowadays, no matter what you do, you need convenience.

Xiao Nianzhi took a part of it first and prepared to make an osmanthus nectar.

Osmanthus nectar is actually to put it bluntly......

It is the syrup produced by the fermentation between osmanthus and sugar, which tastes like honey, but the overall sugar content is still quite high.

But who makes it taste good?

So, rush it!

As soon as she saw Xiao Nianzhi making sweets, Aunt Yu, who was still casually translating the Tao Te Ching, couldn't sit still and came to the front to watch.

At this time, there is no need to think about anything else, if Aunt Yu is curious, she will ask directly: "What is this?" ”

"With so much sugar, it must be delicious."

"Did osmanthus nectar do this in the first place?"

"It's not honey from bees?"

"It doesn't look like honey."

……

The master and apprentice staged a play in reality, 100,000 whys.

After Yan Xingxuan entered the Empress Dowager's palace, he was confronted by Yan Changxia's sad and aggrieved gaze.

Unexpectedly, the eldest niece was still here, and Yan Xingxuan was inexplicably embarrassed.

After all, I didn't take her to meet Xiangxiang, and I had a meal.

Ah, my heart hurts, I have to have a long conscience!

However, Yan Xingxuan pressed back fiercely.

It is impossible to have a long conscience, so you can only pretend that you are helpless and show Yan Changxia.

Because in front of the Queen Mother, Yan Changxia was not good at making too much trouble with Yan Xingxuan.

After a simple greeting between the uncle and nephew, Yan Xingxuan knew that Princess Kang was afraid that Yan Changxia was in the mansion, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she sent people directly to the palace.

Of course, Princess Kang also came to the Queen Mother's palace recently, preparing to live and improve the food, and at this time people are directing in the small kitchen.
