Chapter 242 Canned apricots (one change)
Although Liu Tingan didn't know why Cui Hejin wanted to know the latest information of the Pei family.
But he understood that this could not be asked.
Liu Tingan thought that when Brother Cui found him when Mu Xiu was two days ago, Brother Cui looked very bad when he picked it up.
Liu Tingan looks very aggressive, but he is careful when he should be careful.
Also because of his temperament, he also made a lot of friends.
Of course, he has a cousin who is well married, and his brother-in-law knows a lot of news, so he can get these materials for Brother Cui.
Cui Hejin arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”
"Brother Cui, what are you polite to me, you look first, if you need any help, you can tell me."
Brother Cui also helped him a lot, let's just say that he is knowledgeable, because of Brother Cui's teaching and guidance, he has made progress in learning, and the articles he writes are all substantial, and they have made great progress, and even the master will praise him.
I feel like I used to read books and learn something that wasn't very enlightened.
But after Brother Cui instructed him, he seemed to suddenly become enlightened with many knowledge and truths in the book.
I felt like I was enlightened.
Liu Tingan admired Brother Cui in his heart, and he was also grateful to Brother Cui in his heart.
Of course, he also admires Brother Cui in his heart, and always feels that Brother Cui is a capable person.
All along, it was Brother Cui who helped him, and he hadn't really done anything for Brother Cui.
Brother Cui asked him to help investigate the information, and he thought that he must complete this matter well.
Cui Hejin nodded and said, "It's troublesome, let's sit down first." ”
Liu Tingan nodded and sat down quietly next to him.
He looked at Brother Cui's expression, and he always felt very serious, and he could even feel a strong oppressive force.
Cui Hejin looked at the information in his hand.
Although there is nothing special about this information, it can still be seen based on the details.
"Pei Nanchen of the Pei family has been studying in Guozijian for the past two years?"
Liu Tingan nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that my knowledge is excellent, so I will wait for the next year's exam, and I heard that it is no problem to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy with his knowledge." ”
"My brother-in-law is a son of the same clan of the Lan family, so he can know some news about the capital."
"But I heard that this Pei Gongzi is a talent, good in learning, and polite, so he is very valued by the princess."
Cui Hejian's fingers pinching the information turned white, and the green tendons of the finger joints jumped up.
It's just that he didn't move on his face, "As far as I know, Pei Nanchen got married back then." ”
How long has it been since everyone forgot about his sister?
I forgot that Pei Nanchen was marrying his sister.
Liu Tingan showed a puzzled look, "Are you married, I don't know about this, but my brother-in-law said that Pei Nanchen is a concubine of the inner decision, and the information shows that his previous wife was sick and weak, and she died." ”
Cui Hejian's eyes were covered with a layer of coldness, "Princess Chamin?" ”
"Yes, it's her, I also studied it specifically, Princess Cha Min is the younger sister of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince is the eldest son, but the second prince is the prince of Chang, I heard that the two of them are fighting very well in private."
"But once this Pei Gongzi becomes a concubine, the Pei family will be from the eldest prince's side."
The corners of Cui Hejian's mouth hooked up a cold arc, "Now that the princes have started fighting?" ”
is that the emperor's position may not be stable, and the king sent troops, although the emperor sent troops to quell the chaos.
But wars are frequent in various places, the border is unstable, and if several princes fight again, everything will be self-evident.
I still remember that the eldest prince wanted to win over the Cui family, but the Cui family has always remained neutral, and the eldest prince may hold a grudge.
Cui Hejin took a closer look at the Pei family's information, then lit a candle and burned all the information.
Liu Tingan was stunned, "Are they all burned?" ”
"Well, it's useless anymore, it's burned."
All the information Cui Hejin remembered in his mind.
"You must never have known about it."
Liu Tingan nodded seriously.
Cui Hejin explained some things to Liu Ting'an again, and then went home.
……
Jiang Zhiluo cooks apricots at home in the afternoon.
She washed a plate of apricots first and let Mrs. Cui and Cui Tianci eat it.
There are a lot of apricots, and she can't eat them all at once, so she plans to make some canned apricots.
She went to the back of the house in the afternoon to take a look, and the apricots on the apricot trees here were not ripe.
When it is ripe, you can also make preserved apricots and apricot jam if you can't finish eating.
This will, she makes canned apricots.
Cui Tianci and Mrs. Cui have already helped Jiang Zhiluo wash all the apricots and cut the apricots and remove the cores.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't need Cui Tilting to do this, but Cui Tilting couldn't stay idle, so she wanted to help do something.
Anyway, sitting and doing this little light work, I can't get tired.
After everything is done, it's time to burn the fire.
Cui said: "Sister-in-law, I'll help you light the fire." ”
"No, no."
Seeing Cui Tianci's thin appearance, Jiang Zhiluo was really reluctant to let her help light the fire.
"You just have to rest."
"Sister-in-law, I'm not tired, I want to do something."
Cui Tingci was a sister-in-law, and then looked at her with such beautiful eyes, she was a little overwhelmed.
"Okay, slow down, don't hurt your hands."
In fact, Jiang Zhiluo thought to herself, and she didn't know if Cui Tianci would make a fire.
Cui Tilt porcelain will naturally burn the fire.
The maid and son-in-law of the Pei family don't treat her as a wife, and the meals they send are all leftovers.
Fortunately, she has a separate kitchenette in her yard, and she has learned to make hot rice herself.
So she will burn firewood.
Mrs. Cui was worried that she would not be able to make a fire, and just as she wanted to say something, she saw that the porcelain had already lit a fire and burned the firewood.
Old Madam Cui looked at her familiar movements, and her heart was sour again.
Although she didn't say anything, she knew that being able to learn to make a fire meant that she had suffered in the Pei family.
If it weren't for that, how could a big family let the young lady of the family cook by herself.
Jiang Zhiluo watched her movements, and couldn't help but think of the old lady of the Pei family, who was really a ruthless and vicious old woman.
Jiang Zhiluo saw that the pot was hot and put some sugar in the pot.
Then stir with a spoon to melt the sugar.
Pour in the apricots and cook for a while.
After the apricots are fully coated in the sugar juice, remove them and put them in the jar.
"After a while, I will take a basin of well water, put the jar in the well water and refrigerate it, and you can eat it the next day."
"When the weather is hotter, we can also use peaches to make canned food when the peach trees on the mountain behind us are ripe."
It would be very comfortable to eat a canned food that is sweet and refreshing.
It's the first time I've heard of canned food.
It turned out to be this way.
Mrs. Cui said: "Zhiluo, the few apricot trees at the back of our house, can you make canned apricots when they are ripe?" ”
You won't be able to finish eating.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "We can make preserved fruits and dried fruits, and we can also make jam." ”
"Dried fruits can be eaten as snacks, jam, we can dip and eat when we eat steamed buns and make cakes."
Cui Tianci was stunned, can you still make apricot jam?
It was also the first time she had heard of it.
It turns out that one food can make many kinds of delicacies.
She smelled the sweet fragrance emanating from the pot, and her heart felt gently healed.
She can't describe the sense of relaxation and security she has.
No more tension.
It's a good feeling to be relaxed.
When Cui Hejin returned home and saw the warm and harmonious scene of the stove house, his heart was slightly touched.
