Xiao Nianzhi quickly told Yan Xingxuan about Qiongzhou and coconuts: "The book I read before said that Qiongzhou is rich in resources. There is a kind of fruit called coconut, which can be squeezed for oil and is rich in nutrients.
Make coconut mash, which looks like snowflakes and has a soft and slightly sweet taste. Sprinkled on pastries, it can be a finishing touch and a good companion to your mouth. Would you like to try it, brother?"
Coconut?
Yan Xingxuan is not unfamiliar with this thing.
I saw it in a geographical journal in my early years and was curious about it. However, the capital was still too far away from Qiongzhou.
Therefore, it is impossible to eat fresh food.
However, he does have two works of art made of coconut shells in his house.
This thing is said to be quite popular in the Ruzhou area. In places farther north, many people don't even know about it because of the inconvenience of transportation.
Now that Xiao Nianzhi mentioned it, Yan Xingxuan couldn't help but feel curious as he thought about the two round white artworks in his house.
Is that thing... edible?
Don't know why.
Before I mentioned it, those two were just decorations, and he usually didn’t take them seriously.
But after listening to Xiao Nianzhi's words, I don't know why, but those two round white things suddenly became more delicate and more delicious.
Ah this...
Yan Xingxuan was still a little embarrassed and asked in a low voice: "Think about it, do you want something fresh?"
I want to keep this thing fresh and transport it back, but it’s not easy to operate.
However, it is not impossible for him to beg the emperor to make him faint.
Even though the situation in the northwest is not good right now, it doesn’t seem good for me to take the lead at this time.
Or give up?
As soon as Yan Xingxuan thought about it, he felt that it would not work.
If you think this is delicious, can you give it up?
Whether it’s for yourself or for thinking, it’s definitely impossible to give up.
Therefore, he had to find an enemy to help him do this.
He thinks Brother Kang Wang is pretty good.
King Kang:???
Want something fresh?
When Xiao Nianzhi heard this, he knew that if this thing really brought fresh food back, it would definitely waste people and money.
Xiao Nianzhi has no concern for the country and the people, but other people’s lives are also lives!
She didn't want to see the delicious food stained with blood.
So, when Yan Xingxuan asked, she quickly shook her head: "No, coconut mash and coconut oil are both easy to handle. They are made in Qiongzhou, and then the finished product is shipped back. The finished product can be stored for a long time, and it can be shipped back slowly."
."
Just like seaweed glue, just leave it to the people over there to operate it, and then ship the finished product to yourself.
Qiongzhou is located in a remote area, so even the most unfavored princes and dignitaries would not use this place as a fiefdom.
Therefore, if you want the resources in this place, you don’t need to say hello to others, just go to the emperor directly.
Yan Xingxuan thought about it for a while, and then said: "Think about it, write down the method for me, and when I go to the palace to get the pomegranates in two days, give it to the emperor and let him arrange it."
When Xiao Nianzhi heard this, he was startled: "Isn't it bad to alarm His Majesty?"
Yan Xingxuan waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay. He has been in chaos in the harem recently, so he probably needs something to do to calm his mood."
Xiao Nianzhi:?
Are you sure you are adjusting this and not adding to the chaos?
However, Xiao Nianzhi didn't say much when it came to matters involving the emperor, so he nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing that Xiao Nianzhi didn't ask any questions, Yan Xingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Your Majesty has recently been more diligent in going to the Palace of Concubine Hui for military supplies in the northwest.
Then, the imperial concubine became angry.
Originally, the imperial concubine felt that she had lost face because of her maternal clan's proposal to make peace with him, and she had already lost her temper once because she was provoked by Concubine Rong.
Although His Majesty did not go out of his way to coax anyone, he still went to her palace for two days.
As a result, as soon as the issue of military supplies in the northwest came up, His Majesty had to consider reality.
Then, he has been staying in the palace of Concubine Hui lately, making the concubine so angry that she was beaten and beaten.
When he came today, he heard his mother murmuring that the imperial concubine was becoming more and more petty. In order to compete for favor, she even went to the Tai Chi Hall to cause trouble.
Yan Xingxuan felt that the imperial concubine might not be competing for her own favor, but more for the interests of the third prince.
The Song family and the third prince were at a disadvantage in the northwest war, and she had no choice but to find something to make up for for her son.
However, if the emperor's brother was not confused, he would not agree.
He supported Concubine Rong just to compete with the concubine in the ring.
At this time, he was afraid that he would go crazy before giving power to the imperial concubine.
However, Yan Xingxuan is too lazy to care about the struggle for imperial power. They can do whatever they want.
Don't delay him from eating and drinking.
Although there was no coconut, Xiao Nianzhi was a little greedy after thinking about the pomegranate gummy candy.
She has all the ingredients to make pomegranate gummies.
It's short of corn syrup, but she has maltose syrup, which can be substituted.
Gelatin tablets are also readily available and are kept in her room.
All that’s left is water, sugar and pomegranate juice!
As long as the pomegranates are in place, the sugar can be made immediately, and it will probably be ready to eat after half a day of shaping!
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi nodded: "Then let's make some pomegranate gummies to eat in a few days. They are soft and elastic, and taste very chewy."
Aunt Yu's ears perked up when she heard it was sweet.
What did she hear?
Sugar!!!
Yan Xingxuan naturally heard it, pomegranate?
He really hasn’t eaten it yet.
So, I still have to think about it.
He couldn't help but look forward to it!
In the excitement, Yan Xingxuan did not forget to respond to Xiao Nianzhi: "I think about it, I will go to the palace tomorrow to see if the pomegranate has arrived."
If that doesn't work, he can still pick it up at Shanglinyuan Prison.
After talking about the pomegranate candy, Xiao Nianzhi and the others also arrived.
After saying good night to each other, Yan Xingxuan watched Xiao Nianzhi enter the house, lit the lamp, and then safely took Laishun and the guards back.
The next day, the weather was still good.
Xiao Nianzhi got up early and told Aunt Yu last night that she would get up early to make tofu in the cafeteria today.
So, I didn’t say anything else when I got up today. After freshening up and changing clothes, I strode towards the cafeteria.
This morning, Aunt Fu and Aunt Ye were here. Both of them were fond of laughing. After seeing Xiao Nianzhi, they held her hand and started talking about common things.
Although I haven't seen these two aunts in the cafeteria these two days, they live in the backyard. When Xiao Nianzhi came back before and gave everyone gingerbread, he still saw them.
Therefore, they also knew that everything was fine when Xiao Nianzhi went out this time.
Nowadays, I don’t ask much about outside things, I only talk about the recent interesting things in the academy.
This wild cat is pregnant.
The group of birds were driven away again.
……
It sounds full of the daily sense of life.
After talking for a long time, the vegetarian buns in the morning are ready.
The rich aunt quickly picked two pieces for Xiao Nian and put them on the plate: "Yuan Niang, you eat first, don't worry about grinding the tofu or anything else. Only after you have eaten will you have the strength. I'll make you a bowl of porridge."
