She wanted a whole jar of milk, and she got a third of it back at most......

I heard that there was a shortage of silver in the New Year, and the palace was also in an economic crisis. Hua Chubby and Jing Concubine, as well as Sister Mei, were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground in order to plug the gap.

However, Sun Miaoqing heard it, after all, the Chinese concubine in the drama is alone, and she will also organize the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet decently.

The most important thing is that it did not affect her quality of life because of lack of money, so she still picked the best and sent it.

She's so stupid, really......

Sun Miaoqing frowned, "Why is it just like this, how many candies can be made from this?" ”

"The palace is so poor that you can't even make much milk?"

Rose said, "The people in the imperial dining room said that a lot of dim sum was used at the palace banquet, and Concubine Hua also asked for some there, and the rest is here." ”

"Let the mother use these first, and when the new one is sent to the palace tomorrow, I will send you a cylinder."

Sun Miaoqing wanted to be unhappy, it was rare for her to be so interested in doing something serious, but she was dragged back.

In the past, when I watched dramas and novels, the emperor and queen, or the favorite concubine asked for something, whether there was or not, there would definitely be something in the end.

Sure enough, the literary works are all about her......

"If you don't have it, you won't have it, try these first, and see how many you can make."

Lily of the valley and Liuli brought up all the things, and on the large round table in the hall, there was a small stove, and a casserole the size of a melon was set on the side.

On the plate next to it were five or six spoons of various sizes, as well as a one-foot-square piece of wood.

Rows of holes the size of thumb caps are lined up on the wooden blocks, each of which has been smeared with a layer of soybean oil.

Liuli said, "Niangniang, everything is ready. ”

"According to your instructions, the hawthorn is cut into small cubes, and some preserves are prepared, can you see if these things are enough?"

Sun Miaoqing said, "That's enough, put the casserole on the stove and put some milk in it." Not too much, about a third of the pot. ”

"After boiling, put the maltose in it, it's about the same as milk. After boiling, the heat should not be too large, and the juice can be slowly reduced over low heat. ”

"The slave understands."

Liuli followed Sun Miaoqing's instructions, stayed by the stove, and didn't dare to leave a step.

Rose and Lily of the Valley also watched curiously at the changes in the pot, and it didn't take long for the whole room to fill the room with the sweet smell of milk.

After about two cups of tea, the maltose in the casserole was white and yellowish in color and became viscous.

"Niangniang, do you think this is almost the same?"

"Take a look at this palace."

Sun Miaoqing walked over, and Liuli still kept stirring the maltose in the pot so as not to paste the pot.

Pick up a chopstick, wrap it in some maltose, wait for it to cool and put it in your mouth and chew it a few times.

Sun Miaoqing said, "The taste of milk is not strong enough, and then put some in it." ”

When Lily of the Valley heard this, she let another third go in. After a while, when the syrup in the casserole became viscous again, the maltose became whiter, but still a little yellowish.

After adding milk twice, Sun Miaoqing took the chopsticks and tasted it again. The thick milky fragrance makes her seem to go back to when she was a child, clamoring to eat White Rabbit toffee.

"That's what it smells like! Place it on a wooden plate. ”

Sun Miaoqingqing and Liuli were a few, one of them held a spoon, put the syrup on a wooden plate and waited for the sugar to solidify.

Lily of the valley took the casserole and asked, "Niangniang, there is still a small half left in the pot, what to do?" ”

Sun Miaoqing said, "Put the hawthorn in it, add some milk and continue to cook." Make candy just like before. ”

"The rest of the maltose and milk, after adding the candied fruit, are also brought in the same way."

Lily of the valley nodded with a smile, she also tasted the taste just now, and it was very different from what she usually ate.

The Manchus and Han were not interested in drinking milk, thinking that it had a fishy smell and could only be used to make pastries.

"I didn't expect milk to be so delicious when made into sugar, and Niangniang's craftsmanship compares to the imperial chefs in the palace."

Sun Miaoqing was proud, although there was no butter, marshmallow or anything like that. After the maltose is boiled and cooled, it will be more laborious to chew.

But it is pure natural and additive-free, and she eats them all as Mengdan, and her Sun Miaoqing is the first beauty in the harem!

By the time I was done, it was late at night, the milk was clean, and half of the maltose was left.

A few people stared at the seven or eight bowls full of toffee the size of the pearl of the South China Sea, and suddenly felt that the efforts of these few hours were not in vain.

Sun Miaoqing said, "The palace banquet should be over at this time, and tomorrow morning every palace will send some over, which can be regarded as New Year's greetings." ”

Liuli said, "But Niangniang, we did this in one night, although it looks like a lot, it's not enough for so many people." ”

Sun Miaoqing said nonchalantly, "Didn't the imperial dining room say that the milk would be delivered tomorrow morning?" When they come, ask them to send more. ”

"If these are done, they will be sent to the emperor and the queen mother first. Others waited a little longer, not for a moment. ”

Liuli said with a smile, "If you don't know the day slave maid will go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to invite the emperor, such a good thing, the mother will eat it with the emperor." ”

Hearing this, Rose and Lily of the Valley laughed very ambiguously.

Sun Miaoqing is a little greedy, and she also has needs. Although the big fat orange's figure does not meet her aesthetics, it is the same for men, blowing out candles......

But the big fat orange is useless, and An Lingrong's condensation fragrance has not yet been developed, so it is better not to come if it is not up or down.

Sun Miaoqing said excitedly, "Tomorrow is a big day, I still have two days to come, let's talk about it after the New Year." ”

"This palace is tired, so you should rest early."

Rose said, "Niang Niang forgot, tonight is the New Year's Eve vigil." When you are young, you will set off fireworks to drive away the New Year beast, and you will sleep at this time, and you will be woken up for a while. ”

"Why don't you have a little more with you?"

Liuli's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Why don't we play the sparrow card?" ”

(Mahjong can be traced back to three or four thousand years ago, probably from the Qing Daoguang period to the end of the Qing Dynasty, forming the mahjong we play now.) ）

Sparrow cards?

It seems to be an ancient version of mahjong!

As soon as she heard this, Sun Miaoqing felt that she was not sleepy at all!

Sun Miaoqing asked, "Do you have a sparrow card?" ”

Liuli smiled awkwardly, "The slave maid has this hobby, although it is inconvenient to play these in the palace, but I still saved some silver taels and bought a pair of sparrow cards to hide secretly." ”

"When your hands are itchy, take them out and touch them, don't worry, the slave has never taken them out to play."

Eunuchs and palace maids are not allowed to gather in the palace to gamble for money, but there are a lot of games behind their backs.

Liuli used to make a bet on whose brand the emperor would flip.

But since Sun Miaoqing became favored, Liuli was worried that she was not careful. will be caught by someone and cause trouble to Sun Miaoqing, and he hasn't been there for a long time.

I made this suggestion just now, firstly, because my hands were really itchy, and secondly, because she found that Sun Miaoqing was also very interested in these.

It doesn't matter if you have money or not, the important thing is that you are a slave and maid, and you have to change your tricks to make your master happy~✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و
