Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 420 Ice Powder
After feeding the fish in the gazebo, both Hong Hao and Yan Yu seemed a little sleepy.Seeing them yawning, Tong Jia Xili ordered Caiwei to carry them both back into the stroller.

Back in the stroller, the two children leaned against the soft pillows, and after a while, they closed their eyes and began to fall asleep.

Tong Jia Xili smiled, and then said softly: "These two children play excitedly and sleep fast. It's still hot after sitting outside for a long time. Let's go back first."

"Okay." Caiwei nodded, and said, "Fu Jin walks in the middle. The slaves and servants push the stroller and follow Fujin to walk beside Fujin."

...

After returning all the way to the main room, Tong Jia Xili immediately leaned on the imperial concubine's couch.

Gillian stayed in the room all the time, seeing Tong Jiaxili coming back, she also stood up from the futon next to the ice basin, and jumped to Tong Jiaxili's lap.

"Meow."

Gillian let out a soft cry, rubbed Tong Jiaxili's calf again, and then lay down on the side again, continuing to take her afternoon nap.

Tong Jia Xili also yawned, just when she was about to cover her with a thin blanket and take a nap, Mrs. Wang from outside came in like a gust of wind.

"Fujin!"

Mrs. Wang walked in, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if something good had happened, she walked up to Tong Jia Xili, and said excitedly, "The governor of Sichuan returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and he brought a cook from Sichuan back to cook."

"I heard that the cook's dishes are famous all over Sichuan. I'm thinking about it..."

Thinking about it, he wanted to go and learn from that cook.

As a person who puts all his heart and soul into cooking.As long as Mrs. Wang can learn to cook more delicious meals, it will be an extremely happy thing for her.

"I see." Tong Jia Xili could see what Mrs. Wang was thinking at a glance, and immediately agreed: "Don't worry, I will help you arrange it."

...

Mrs. Wang, who studied cooking, came back after only four or five days in the palace.

It's not like learning how to cook can be done overnight.It's because...she only needs to master the method of cooking Sichuan cuisine, and then try more.

Four or five days later, it was time for afternoon tea.

Tong Jia Xili looked at the sunny sky outside the window, and was thinking about wanting to eat a bowl of mung bean ice, but Mrs. Wang came over with a food box.With a mysterious look, you can tell there is something good at a glance.

"My servant went to learn how to cook a few days ago, and learned a piece of Sichuan local food." Wang Pozi opened the lid of the food box while talking.

Inside the bowl was something transparent like jelly.Then add some brown sugar, raisins, crushed peanuts and some small glutinous rice balls.watching from afar...

Hey, it looks like ice powder?
Before time travel, Tong Jia Xili liked to eat three things from Sichuan, one of which was this ice powder.

In the hot summer, a bowl of cold ice powder can always keep people in a good mood for a long time.

"Try Fujin?"

Ice powder, unlike the name, is neither made of ice nor powdered.It is said that the seeds of a kind of tree are rubbed in water, and then the water will gradually become viscous, and finally it will be fixed into a transparent solid like jelly.

The handmade ice powder has a delicate taste, and it is really refreshing to eat in one bite in summer.

"Um…"

Tong Jia Xili nodded in agreement, took a spoonful of it with a spoon, and began to deliver it to her mouth.

It's just ice powder, which is actually tasteless.But if it is combined with brown sugar, raisins, crushed peanuts and small glutinous rice dumplings, it can not only satisfy the idea of ​​eating sweets, but also have a certain sense of fullness.

Such a small bowl of ice powder contains a lot of energy.

"It's delicious." Tong Jia Xili said, looking at Mrs. Wang eagerly, still wanting to eat.

"Hey, as long as Fujin thinks it's delicious." Wang Pozi smiled triumphantly and said, "This is what the cook from Sichuan brought into the palace. The servants learned how to make it from him, and they have achieved a little success."

"In the palace, when he made it for the emperor, he refrigerated it in the cellar, so it tasted even colder. Fujin is pregnant, so you can't eat too much of these things."

...

Yes Yes Yes!Can not eat more.Then can she eat it again tomorrow?

Tong Jia Xili thought helplessly, but she didn't know that from this day onwards, there was an instant craze for eating ice powder in the entire Yongjun palace.

Every day, Mrs. Wang would make a large barrel out of wooden barrels, and then add some brown sugar to distribute it everywhere for the people below to eat.

In summer, Japan is hot, and a bowl of ice powder is in my stomach.Whether it was the eunuchs and maids who were in charge of sweeping and cleaning, or those who did rough work, they all suddenly became energetic.

Even Hong Hao and Yan Yu are particularly fond of it.

PS: Tong Jiaxi Li Yinzhen's small episode in winter:

Tong Jia Xili stood in front of a stall selling cotton thread, earnestly learning how to weave a scarf from the proprietress of that shop.

Winter is here, and a thick layer of snow has already been laid.I don't know... She just started learning to knit scarves at this time, is it a bit late?

but.When Tong Jia Xili thought of Yinzhen being able to wear the scarf she woven by herself, she couldn't help but feel a little joy in her heart.

Snow, one after another sprinkled down.The severe cold of winter is becoming more and more intense day by day.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it was the first time for Tong Jiaxili to truly experience the coldness contained in these four words.

The cold swept over, and her hands were a little cold.The hand holding the wooden needle was a little stiff, looking at the half-knit scarf, I couldn't help feeling a little irritable.

If it goes on like this, when will we have to weave?When the spring warms up, Yinzhen may not even be able to have her scarf.

Thinking of this, although Tong Jia Xili felt sad, she still continued to knit the scarf with the wooden needle.

Finally, stepping on the tail of winter, Tong Jia Xili gave the scarf to Yinzhen.

It's a blue scarf.The color is not very bright, but when Yinzhen wears it, it can set off the whole person's spirit.

"Is this the reason why you were always busy and refused to come out during this time?"

Yinzhen watched Tong Jia Xili tie the scarf for herself, and asked with a frown.

During this period of time, every time he wanted to ask Tong Jia Xili out, Tong Jia Xili always refused, saying that he was busy with things and he should go out a few times less.

Often, only one or two times out of five times he managed to see her.

Now, Yinzhen knows.

"Fool. Look at your hands, I'm afraid they're all frozen?" Yinzhen took Tong Jia Xili's hand, breathed a sigh of relief at it, and said, "From now on, take care of yourself first, you know?"

"Uh-huh!"

Tong Jia Xili nodded in agreement.But I was still thinking about it, next year, what color scarf should I weave as a gift for Yinzhen?
Gather seven colors and summon the dragon?
　Sorry, I always want to make a sand sculpture for no reason. .
