Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 189 Peanut Rice Balls
Watching the year on New Year's Eve, I feel sleepy on the first day of the new year.

Tong Jia Xili has understood this truth for a long time.So on New Year's Eve this year, she just waited to watch the fireworks before going to bed obediently.

Royal Fireworks Splendid Disneyland's fireworks show is much better.

The moment when the fireworks bloom in the sky is exciting.The emotions of the whole person are driven by the fireworks in the sky, and they fall into the beauty of the fireworks.

Even if it is only for a moment, it is already incomparably beautiful.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, the entire palace was very quiet.The court ladies also got special permission not to get up early, they could celebrate the new year in front of their masters and receive red envelopes before going out to do things.

When Tong Jia Xili woke up, it was still early.

There are still some sparks in the charcoal basin in the side hall, and it is steaming.

Tong Jia Xili put on clothes casually and got up, just as she took the red envelope hidden under the dressing table, Mu Sang came in with water, and was about to serve Tong Jia Xili to wash up.

"The servants came in when they heard the noise." Mu Sang said, "It's the first day of the new year, everyone thinks they can be lazy, but you got up so early."

"I didn't need to watch the night yesterday, and I slept well." Tong Jia Xili asked, "Where is my aunt and the emperor? Are you still awake?"

On New Year's Eve, the emperor and empress are together.So last night, Lord Kangxi rested in Chengqian Palace.

"It's still resting." Mu Sang said: "The emperor and the empress are very tired, they won't wake up so early. If Ge Ge still wants to sleep, he can rest for a while."

Tong Jia Xili rubbed her eyes, but decided not to sleep anymore.After simply washing up, he ordered Cai Sang again: "Go and call all the maids and eunuchs who are serving in the side hall."

"Yes!" Mu Sang's eyes lit up, and she already guessed that Tong Jia Xili was going to give a reward.

The maids and eunuchs in the side hall gathered in Tong Jia Xili's pavilion within a short time.

Including the maids sweeping outside, there are more than a dozen people in total.Tong Jia Xili sent red envelopes to everyone according to their grades, and they all wished each other a happy new year.

"Living in this palace is not easy. Since you are destined to meet in this palace, it is not easy. You should support and help each other."

"I have given you this reward, and I also hope that you can fulfill your duties and keep your responsibilities. Naturally, the huge Chengqian Palace will not be short of you."

"Of course, if you have other intentions, you can't stay. Once you are discovered, you will end up being sent to Xinzheku."

Xinzheku is the most difficult place in this palace.But all the eunuchs and maids are unwilling to go.

Tong Jia Xili's rhetoric can be regarded as a combination of kindness and majesty.The eunuchs and maids took the money, and they all stepped back to do their own things.

...

Afternoon, very leisure.

Tong Jia Xili ate sesame glutinous rice balls for lunch, and felt sweet and greasy in his mouth until his nap, and his teeth were very sticky.

"Tell me, why are the glutinous rice balls filled with sesame seeds? I am so sweet and greasy that my teeth are about to fall out." Lying on the bed, Tong Jia Xili couldn't help nagging Caiwei beside her. .

Caiwei laughed when she heard that, and replied: "Haven't the glutinous rice balls always been filled with sesame seeds?
"It seems to be the same..." Tong Jia Xili recalled it carefully, and found that the glutinous rice balls he ate since childhood seemed to be filled with sesame seeds.

Either black sesame or other sesame.It's sweet and greasy, and it's not new.

"I want something stuffed with peanuts!" Tong Jia Xili thought for a while, then suddenly said such a sentence.

"Peanut stuffing?" Caiwei was puzzled for a moment, and then asked, "Should we chop up peanuts like sesame seeds and wrap them in glutinous rice balls?"

It seems that there are really peanut-flavored glutinous rice balls...but they are also very sweet.

"No, no." Tong Jia Xili waved her hand and said, "It's just small peanuts inside the glutinous rice balls. Don't you think it tastes crunchy and has a special texture?"

"Slaves don't think so."

Caiwei thought so in her heart, but on the surface she still didn't raise any obvious objections.If her Ge Ge thinks so much about bringing forth the new through the old, let her try it, right?

...

The glutinous rice balls with crushed peanuts were sent to Tong Jiaxili from the small kitchen as a midnight snack that night.

Tong Jia Xili, who had been looking forward to it all afternoon, felt that it looked no different from sesame glutinous rice balls when she got a bowl of white glutinous rice balls.

The sweet and greasy smell is gone, but it looks ordinary.

Is it my bad idea?Crushed peanuts are not suitable for making glutinous rice balls?
Tong Jia Xili questioned herself a little in her heart, but she still took a spoon and started eating her glutinous rice balls.

The peanuts used to make glutinous rice balls are salty peanuts like Jiugui Peanuts.It's a bit strange to put them in glutinous rice balls, but the taste is surprisingly good.

"good to eat!"

Tong Jia Xili ate the peanuts in it, and felt that they were much more crispy than sesame glutinous rice balls, so she called Caiwei over and asked her to taste her "work".

But Caiwei showed timidity, and she really didn't want to try this peanut glutinous rice balls.

"Gege, you think it's delicious, so you can eat it." Caiwei said: "This servant is not hungry."

Tong Jia Xili tilted her head, and it was obvious at a glance that Caiwei was duplicity.Helpless, I can only say: "It's really not bad, can I deceive you?"

Caiwei also seemed a little helpless at this moment.In the end, under Tong Jiaxili's "excessive power", he had no choice but to eat a peanut glutinous rice ball.

The taste is indeed better than expected.But, it's just better.

After Caiwei, who was about to die with her eyes closed, ate the glutinous rice balls, her brows relaxed a little, and she opened her eyes to take a look at Tong Jia Xili.

The two master and servant stared at each other, but neither of them spoke first.

After a long while, Tong Jia Xili finally couldn't hold it anymore. He put down his chopsticks and said dejectedly, "Is it really bad? I think it's okay. Although the peanut glutinous rice balls are a bit strange, they actually taste pretty good."

Seeing Tong Jia Xili like this, Caiwei couldn't bear to say bad things, so she said: "The taste is not bad, but the servant has never eaten it, so I'm just worried."

"Slaves are so good, don't be discouraged, okay?"

Tong Jia Xili nodded, being encouraged by Caiwei, she seemed to have regained her self-confidence, and said full of ambition: "Since this is the case, then I should also think of some more delicious glutinous rice balls. "

Next time, should I make cabbage glutinous rice balls or leek glutinous rice balls?
Wait... Aren't cabbage and chives wrapped in dumplings?
