Chapter 32: Shingen Cake and Ice Bowl

is in the bitter summer, Xu is because He Sanlang suddenly left his wife, who was only a few days old, to join the army, so the people in the entire Jing'an Bo Mansion have special pity for Chu Lian.

At noon, Mrs. He actually sent the big girl next to her to send most of the half basin of ice, and when she saw that Chu Lian was sleeping in the bedroom, she asked Mama Gui to put the ice cubes in the bedroom to cool down Chu Lian.

The ice cellar in Shengjing City is rare, and there was little ice last year, and most of the ice cubes were only used in the palace, even if there was a surplus, it would be sent to the clan family's mansion, and the ordinary nobles were rarely able to use ice.

Therefore, the old lady actually sent most of the half basin of ice to the third grandmother, which is really rare.

Mama Gui sent the big girl named Mu Xiang who sent ice out of the yard, sighed with a bitter face, and anyone could see that this ice was just compensation for the third grandmother.

The three young masters are gone, and the people are not around, so what is the use of good compensation.

Xu is most of this basin of ice really played a role in reducing the heat, Chu Lian slept exceptionally comfortably in today's afternoon, even if Fu Yan came to call for lunch, he didn't get up.

When he woke up, it was already afternoon, and he sat up from the bed in a daze, and Chu Lian clearly felt the coolness in the bedroom.

She got up and lifted the tent, and saw a wooden bucket with ice cubes next to the bed.

Chu Lian let out a surprised "ah", and he didn't even have time to put on his embroidered shoes, so he walked to the ice bucket in three or two steps. Touching it with his hand, the large vat of ice was still the size of a human head and had not melted.

Xi Yan, who was doing needlework outside, heard Chu Lian's voice inside, and hurriedly ran in, "Third grandma, but what's wrong?"

Chu Lian pointed to the ice bucket in front of him, his eyes widened and he asked curiously, "Where did this ice come from?"

Xi Yan pulled the corners of her mouth, although the ice bucket is good, but it is the comfort of the old lady to the third grandmother, so it is not so comfortable.

"It was the old lady who ordered someone to send it to the third grandmother to cool off the heat. ”

Chu Lian knew the reason in the blink of an eye, otherwise, even Jing'anbo Mansion would not have ice available on weekdays.

But she doesn't think so much like Mama Gui and Xiyan, since it was sent by Mrs. He, then she will use it!

No need for nothing!

"Quick, find a little quilt. Chu Lian's expression remained unchanged, and he even said with a little excitement.

Xi Yan hadn't come out of her sad mood yet, and when she heard the words, she let out an "ah" and looked up at Chu Lian in a daze.

"Go ahead, what are you doing?"

Xi Yan wiped the corners of her eyes, "Can ...... But what does the third grandmother want the little quilt for?"

Chu Lian flicked Xiyan's forehead angrily, "What else can I do, save these ices, try to slow them down, I still have to use these ice to make ice bowls!"

"Ice ...... Ice bowl ...... "Xi Yan was completely led astray, and the sadness on his face just now was gone.

"It's ~ ice bowl, make sure it's delicious and cool down, go quickly. ”

Xi Yan was chased by Chu Lian to get the little quilt.

When Xiyan came back, she saw the third grandmother covering the small quilt on the wooden barrel, and suddenly looked strange, crying or laughing, but the original sadness on her face was gone.

Bring me clothes to change, and I'll go and see what ingredients are available in the kitchenette to make ice bowls.

In the end, Mama Gui and Xi Yan followed them to the small kitchen.

Chu Lian took a look at the small kitchen and sent amethyst grapes, red peaches and oranges and other fruits this morning, nodded, and chose fresh lotus roots, lotus seeds that went to the heart, fresh water chestnuts, etc., let Xiyan run to the second door, and let the gatekeeper there go outside to buy a bottle of milk and come back.

When she waited for Xiyan, Chu Lian had already started to process the ingredients in the small kitchen, and this time, she did not pretend to be a human hand, but made it herself.

Mama Gui only knew the name of the food made by the third grandmother, but she didn't know how to do it or how to do it, so she couldn't intervene, so she could only stand aside and watch.

Chu Lian is the kind of person who is extremely serious when he does things, and he doesn't listen to things outside the window, especially when cooking food.

And her focused appearance fell into Mama Gui's eyes, and she became distracted, distracted by doing things, and didn't let herself be too sad and sad.

Chu Lian processed all the fruits and vegetables in the ice bowl, and when he saw that Xiyan hadn't come back yet, he found a small bucket of glutinous rice soaked in the corner, and remembered that the Xinxuan cake he was going to make in the morning, and there happened to be ice today, so he called the mother-in-law on duty in the small kitchen and asked her to find a bag of soybean flour.

Shingen mochi is easy to make, but the appearance and taste are perfect for summer.

Originally, Mama Gui was watching the third grandmother tossing and eating from the side, and she was still sad and sad, but when she looked at it, she was completely attracted by the dim sum made by the third grandmother.

Oh my God, is that dim sum as transparent as a big drop of water really made of glutinous rice?

It's incredible! She's never seen such a beautiful snack in most of her life.

At this time, Xi Yan also came back with most of the jars of milk, and asked the maids to go to the bedroom to get the remaining ice, and Chu Lian took less than a quarter of an hour to finish the last bit of the ice bowl and Xinxuan cake.

Let Xiyan Mingyan bring the dim sum to the flower hall, and Chu Lian went back to the bedroom to change his clothes.

Divide the dim sum into a few portions, and let Gui Mama order someone to send them to the old lady of Qinghuitang and the sister-in-law Zou, because Zou still has two little nieces there, so she sent more. As for her mother-in-law, Mrs. Jing Anbo, Liu, because she was still in bed, she should not eat anything too cold, so Chu Lian only let her send Xinxuan cakes.

Filial piety to the elders, He Sanlang only left today, Chu Lian was not suitable to visit the elders in person, so he used the ice bowl and Xinxuan cake he had just made with his grandmother and maid in the flower hall.

After eating snacks together, Mama Gui saw that the third grandmother was happy, and couldn't help but persuade: "Third grandma, don't be sad, the third young master may be an auspicious star, and he will be able to come back in less than two years after making meritorious contributions in the north." ”

Although she ate desserts to cool off, Chu Lian still didn't feel very refreshing, she didn't like summer in the first place, but she inadvertently heard Gui Mama's words, tilted her head and looked at Gui Mama, "Mama, I'm not sad, my husband is gone, even if I cry now, he won't come back, then I'm not wasting my energy and feelings, it's better to eat and drink well and live a good life in the house!"

Although Mama Gui looked at the third grandmother in front of her, she always felt that something was wrong with her tilted head, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and she was more delicate than the flowery third grandmother.

But if you think about it, you can't detect the mistake of the third grandmother's words.

In the end, I was choked and speechless.

Here, Mrs. He received the ice bowl and Xinxuan cake sent by Chu Lian.

Mama Liu exchanged a few words with the Xiyan sent by Chu Lian, and they were heard by Mrs. He, who was talking to the old lady of the Zhengguo Mansion.

"What's going on out there?" came the old lady's deep voice.

Mama Liu hurriedly carried the food box into the hugging house and replied, "Back to the old lady, it was the third grandmother who sent a girl to deliver snacks!"
