Guozijian little cook

When Xiao Nianzhi arrived in Chizhou, September was already halfway through, and the autumn harvest was coming to an end. Many winter vegetables had been planted early. They just had to harvest the winter vegetables early before the frost fell. Don't miss out today. of harvest.

Because the imperial court already had a promotion plan, and Xiao Nianzhi had written letters to communicate in advance.

Therefore, the promotion of agricultural tools here in Chizhou is going very smoothly.

Magistrate Liu is also a very good official. Although he looks like Magistrate Kong and is very smooth, that is his ability and method as an official. But when it comes to people's livelihood, he is also unambiguous. This is his responsibility and ability.

Xiao Nianzhi felt that such a person was very powerful.

In addition to admiration, I couldn't help but carefully remember the words used by the other party in preparation for some study.

She is destined to be in this circle in the future, and she has to learn many necessary language arts and techniques.

Compared with Hezhou and Linzhou, the climate in Chizhou is slightly drier.

So, after coming here, grandpa kept coughing.

It just so happened that Chizhou was rich in all kinds of pears, so Xiao Nianzhi thought, let’s have a little pear soup.

They brought a lot of plum and white fungus from the capital, and they would buy some if they came across good ones on the road.

Nowadays, the materials are all ready-made. If you are missing pears, wolfberry rock sugar, etc., you can buy them directly here and they can be used as well.

Xiao Nianzhi asked Isatis to buy some and then made some simple ones by himself.

Tremella needs to be soaked, and for pears, you also need to choose a variety. Snow pear is the best, but if it doesn't work, other pears can also be used.

There happened to be one here in Chizhou, so Xiao Nianzhi did not settle for the second best.

Because Sydney needs to retain its skin to ensure its efficacy, this layer of skin needs to be cleaned carefully.

Today there are no pesticides, so the growth of plants depends entirely on natural instinct.

The result is……

If the pears are too sweet, they will attract more insects.

The ones bought from woad have been carefully selected, so naturally there are no bug eyes or the like.

However, since there are no pesticides, the skin of Sydney pears only needs to be lightly scrubbed with salt, and there is no need to worry about any residue.

Wash the pears and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Xiao Nianzhi cut it into small pieces according to his own habit and put it aside for later use.

Wait until the white fungus is soaked, then tear it into small florets, and then prepare other ingredients.

The next production is not a trouble, Xiao Nianzhi had cooked it before when he was in the capital.

So, now you can just guide the woad to make it.

To prevent the other party from surrounding her all the time, Xiao Nianzhi would be confused by her.

Xiaodiao pear soup needs to be simmered over low heat to bring out the essence of the pear, so the time is not too short, and of course it should not be too long.

Because it is too long, the excessive gelatin of the Tremella fuciformis is boiled out, and it becomes a small pear soup.

This time still needs to be controlled.

After Xiao Nianzhi finished the instruction, he didn't rush to leave. He sat there, washed a snow pear, cut it into small pieces, and ate it with a spoon.

Grandpa is always coughing and has not come here. Yan Nanrong is still in another state. They have agreed to meet in the capital.

Therefore, in the end, we still need to return to the capital to see him.

Thinking about the letter from Yan Nanrong that he had just received two days ago, Xiao Nianzhi thought that it was time to reply.

In addition to fruit cultivation, the other party has also studied the sugar water shop. Recently, it has also been studying the distribution of iron ore.

It can be seen that they have really put their heart and soul into the production and subsequent use of the small train.

Xiao Nianzhi was eating pears while thinking about how to reply to the letter.Actually, there's nothing big to say, it's just daily life.

We can mention the Feng family’s affairs.

It's not that Xiao Nianzhi wants to complain, she just doesn't want this matter to spread from other people's mouths to Yan Xingxuan, causing the other party to misunderstand that she has something to hide.

This is not a big deal, and it cannot be counted as an expression of grievances. For Xiao Nianzhi, this is no different from other daily routines.

After finishing a pear, feeling the sweetness of the snow pear still lingering between his lips and teeth, Xiao Nianzhi narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

Seeing that there was still time, she simply left the kitchen and went directly back to the house to write a letter.

The environment of the posthouse in Chizhou is quite good. Maybe this is also related to the local economic development.

Compared with other states, Chizhou may be closer to the capital, so its economy is more developed and its overall prosperity is higher.

Therefore, the post house and environment are relatively better.

Coupled with the cleanliness, Xiao Nianzhi felt at ease living there.

In fact, in daily writing, it is quite trivial, but it is also very interesting.

When Xiao Nianzhi wrote the letter, the letters were dried and put into envelopes, and the Xiaodiaoli soup over there was ready to be cooked.

Xiao Nianzhi went over to take a look. The fragrance of pears, mixed with the fragrance of other ingredients, and the sweetness of rock sugar, made it taste very good.

It's fragrant and sweet, and paired with the cooler autumn breeze, it's still very comfortable to drink.

After Xiao Nianzhi tasted it, he specially dried a bowl and waited until the temperature was right before taking it to his grandfather.

Grandpa is reading at the door of his room.

What he was looking at was the geography that Xiao Nian had brought over.

In fact, Grandpa Feng is not willing to read, but now this is for the sake of his granddaughter.

Therefore, if you can’t see it, you have to force yourself to see it.

Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and instinctively refused to suppress his cough, so he coughed a few more times.

Seeing Xiao Nianzhi coming over with something in his hand and a sweet fragrance floating around, grandpa felt helpless and distressed: "If you have anything to do, just let the people below do it. Why do you have to kiss everything?" Why?"

Grandpa Feng felt sorry for Xiao Nianzhi, and his thoughts were similar to those of Aunt Yu, with a hint of being ahead of his time.

They both felt that it was better not to get their hands on some things, otherwise it would easily get on their hands and they would not be able to shake them off.

This is not an irresponsible approach, but I feel that when there is someone to take care of you, why bother yourself?
Grandpa meant well, and Xiao Nianzhi was happy to be hurt like this.

Therefore, at this time, she was not angry when her grandpa said something to her, and replied with a smile: "Yeah, I listen to grandpa, but this is not prepared for grandpa. I don't worry about others doing it, and I didn't cook it. I’ll just bring it over.”

Hearing Xiao Nianzhi say that she didn't cook it, grandpa was quite happy, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.

As a result, this smile made my heart feel uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but cough.

Xiao Nianzhi hurriedly handed over the Xiaodiaoli soup: "Grandpa, drink some quickly to moisten your throat."

Grandpa Feng didn't refuse. He waited until the itching in his throat was suppressed, then he took the soup and drank it slowly in small sips.

The Xiaodiaoli Soup at this time was at just the right temperature, and after a sip, it felt quite comfortable in the throat.

Grandpa Feng took a sip and praised: "As soon as you drink it, you will know that it must have been a craftsmanship that was guided by thinking about it."

Xiao Nianzhi was a little embarrassed when her grandfather praised her, but in the end she accepted it generously and reminded her grandfather with a smile: "Slow down, slow down, don't choke."

Grandpa Feng enjoyed this kind of care very much. After finishing a sip of soup, he squinted his eyes and smiled again.
