Chapter 222: Yellow mud water boils sugar, what is Lin Che going to do?
Hear that.
Xu Miaoyun was pleasantly surprised, she raised her head with a flushed face, and said excitedly:
"Don't mind, sir, I can do anything."
"Dare to ask Mr. what's the matter?"
"The little girl will do her best..."
"If I can do something for my husband, let's go back and make a difference, I'm afraid that I won't be able to satisfy my husband with my work."
Queen Ma actually didn't explain anything to Xu Miaoyun, and there was no such thing as making a difference or not, but she naturally felt that it was an honor to be able to do things for Lin Che.
I didn't see Emperor Hongwu because of this Mr. Lin, and he couldn't raise his head, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
This Mr. Lin, although he is young, has a temperament that even the emperor is impressed.
It's okay to be able to do some chores for this emperor,
When I was at home, I didn't do it less.
She, Xu Miaoyun, is not a pampered eldest lady.
Lin Che saw that Xu Miaoyun was resolute, and he was not used to her, this girl who looked like a flower and jade, I didn't know if she could work, anyway, she would use it first:
"Girl, you help me go to the street first, buy some candy and come back, brown sugar and brown sugar are fine."
"On the way back, when I encounter loess, I will get some back, I want that kind of red soil, you don't have this yard, please trouble the girl to find more, you must have that kind of red loess."
Let's talk about it.
Lin Che took out the money bag from his pocket and handed it directly to Xu Miaoyun.
Xu Miaoyun was a little stunned when she heard Lin Che's explanation, what are these two things doing together?
"Sir?"
"You mean sugar, and loess, right?"
"You're right, are you?"
Xu Miaoyun held the money bag, the confusion on his face could not be concealed, and he deliberately repeated the sugar and loess.
"That's right!"
"It's sugar and loess, let's go to the street and buy it now!"
Lin Che answered this question affirmatively, and didn't want Xu Miaoyun to explain what these two things were for.
Looked at.
Xu Miaoyun's mouth opened, and she stopped talking.
I wanted to ask, but what I saw with my own eyes just now, Lin Che was afraid of the emperor's 'fierce appearance', endured the curiosity in his heart, put down the tea tray in his hand, bowed to Lin Che generously, and left the mansion in an elegant manner.
Seeing Xu Miaoyun walk out of the door.
Lin Che relaxed his tense body, suddenly felt a burst of relaxation, and muttered:
"I've been human for two lives, how can I see a beautiful girl, I still can't help but be nervous."
Just now, Lin Che was in front of Xu Miaoyun, but he was just pretending to be calm, and he was also panicked.
Although I feel that I am relaxed and carefree, I still can't change the habits of my previous life.
……
A cup of tea.
Xu Miaoyun walked into the living room with two packages in her hands.
She put the brown sugar she bought on the table, and the other package was loess and placed it on the ground.
The movements are skillful and the details are also attentive.
Lin Che nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that this beautiful girl is not a vase, and she is also a good hand at doing things.
"Sir, I'll bring you everything you want."
She opened the package on the table first:
"Here's the brown sugar you wanted."
Then he opened the package on the ground and asked uncertainly:
"Sir, I don't know if you want this loess?"
Lin Che stood up, squatted down, and looked at the loess, the color of the loess was red, it was the loess he wanted, and his eyes unconsciously noticed Xu Miaoyun's feet.
I saw that the edges of her shoes were sticky with mud, but when she entered the living room, she didn't leave any footprints, and she must have rubbed the dirt off the soles of her shoes before entering the mansion.
It can be seen that this girl pays attention to details and is very knowledgeable.
"Let the girl be tired!"
Lin Che sighed sincerely, raised his eyes to meet the girl's expectant gaze, his heart was stagnant, and he subconsciously asked:
"Girl, will you make a fire?"
"Huh?"
Xu Miaoyun was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then reacted and hurriedly said:
"Yes, I will!"
"Then trouble the girl, light the fire in the stove, and then boil the brown sugar you bought."
Lin Che politely handed Xu Miaoyun a cup of tea on the table, asked her to take a breath and go to the stove room again, and did not forget to instruct:
"The sugar should be boiled, stirred while boiling, and finally boiled into a paste, don't boil it into a paste."
"Well, otherwise you're going to have to work hard for girls to go on the streets again!"
Listened to this.
Xu Miaoyun, who had originally taken the teacup, was hanging in the air with the teacup in her hand, and her eyes looking at Lin Che were full of doubts.
Brown sugar boiled into sugar paste?
This... Isn't that a big waste?
You must know that these six catties of brown sugar cost three taels of silver, which can be exchanged for thousands of catties of grain, which is enough for a family to eat for a year.
But if it is boiled into sugar paste, there is more than a pound left at most.
With such a big loss, how much do you have to soak in sugar water!
Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but feel distressed!
"Mr. Lin?"
"Why are you doing that?"
"Why should this brown sugar be boiled into sugar paste, you must know that sugar paste is not easy to preserve, and it will become moldy after a long time."
"Isn't it worth the loss of what you're doing?"
Although Xu Miaoyun was born in the family of the Duke of Guo, she has been in charge of the family all these years, and the family knows that oil and salt are expensive, and brown sugar is originally a high-end consumer product in Daming, and the average family can't afford to eat it at all.
"You don't have to worry."
Lin Che smiled indifferently:
"You just do what I ask, don't worry about the rest."
"When I've made something, you can take some back and try it."
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun was even more puzzled and thought to herself, why am I taking this sugar paste back? It's not easy to preserve.
Although there were huge doubts in his heart, he still agreed:
"Yes, sir."
Xu Miaoyun didn't continue to ask, but went to the room to get busy.
Xu Miaoyun squatted under the stove, lit a fire, added firewood, and then used a pu fan to fan it gently.
When the fire was hot, Xu Miaoyun poured all the brown sugar she bought into the iron pot, picked up a wooden spatula, and didn't hear the stirring in the pot.
Not for a while.
The brown sugar in the pan gradually became sticky.
Gradually boiled into a sugar paste.
And at this time.
Lin Che also came in from outside.
I saw him carrying a bucket in one hand, yellow mud in the other, and a funnel-shaped item under his armpit, looking pleasant.
"Girl, you've worked hard!"
"Leave the sugar boiling to me, just watch it."
Without waiting for Xu Miaoyun to reply, Lin Che took the wooden shovel in her hand, scooped up the sugar paste in the pot, set the funnel on the bucket, and poured the sugar paste into the funnel
Operate it down.
Xu Miaoyun's beautiful eyes were full of doubts, and she looked at Lin Che's operation with wide eyes.
I saw the loess that had turned into muddy water, and I didn't know what Lin Che was going to do?
Pouring the extremely precious brown sugar paste into the yellow clay dug by yourself, isn't this a waste of money?
Anyway, I bought it for a few taels of silver.
Wouldn't it be a shame to be so bad?!
