Yan Xingxuan didn't know how he was able to control himself. He had a hard time keeping his head and eyes under control.
And Xiao Nianzhi, who was sitting next to him, had become more and more accustomed to being calm about the sometimes too hot gaze.
At first, her ears were still a little hot, and she couldn't help but want to turn her head to the side and press them to relieve the heat.
Later, I was immersed in the sweet fragrance of pomegranate and could no longer care about anything else, but I slowly got used to it.
Aunt Yu sat opposite and looked at the two people. One was struggling and restrained, the other was calm and calm.
I don’t know why I started to sympathize with Yan Xingxuan.
This little apprentice of hers has a very good idea in mind.
Maybe when others know that Yan Xingxuan is happy with them, they will not be able to control their emotions or their ambitions.
After all, the position of Princess Wei is quite tempting.
However, Xiao Nianzhi was calm and calm. He did not feel complacent because of Yan Xingxuan's love, nor did he lose himself because of the other person's identity.
She is calm and rational.
The more this happens, the more it proves that Xiao Nianzhi is more rational than emotional when it comes to emotional matters.
In this way, Aunt Yu can rest assured.
It’s good that the apprentice won’t be deceived.
As for the others?
What does that have to do with her?
Aunt Yu spread her hands innocently.
After enjoying the sweet and juicy pomegranates, Laishun and the others also brought back the pomegranates from Shanglin Yuan Prison.
When the new pomegranates arrived, Xiao Nianzhi peeled one off and took a look.
With the pearls and jade in front, no matter how beautiful or fragrant the next ones are, there is no way to amaze her.
What's more, the pomegranates from Shanglin Yuanjian are really not as good as those from Huaizhou before.
While Xiao Nianzhi was peeling the pomegranate, she couldn't help but think that if she had the chance, she would like to go to Huaizhou.
The time when pomegranates are in season passes, and then...
Sit under the tree and eat!!!
Thinking about it this way, my hands seem to be stronger.
Everyone peeled the pomegranate together, and then Xiao Nianzhi used gauze to squeeze it back and forth repeatedly to squeeze out the pomegranate juice.
There is a way to make pomegranate gummies, which is similar to making various puddings.
They all need to be simmered over low heat, and then things are added to it.
For soft candies, it’s best to add gelatin sheets, which is the gelatin that Xiao Nianzhi made before.
She put it in the jar, tied it tightly, and did a good job of sealing it.
Even if it rained, it didn't get wet at all.
After soaking in water to soften, wait until the heat is right before adding it to the pot.
In addition to gelatin, corn syrup also needs to be added. Xiao Nianzhi could not extract this yet, so he used maltose syrup instead.
Of course, sugar must be added at the end.
Soft candies, with the word "sugar" in them, mean they are sweet!
Of course, there is another way to use corn starch.
Xiao Nianzhi prefers the one currently being carried out, and the other one can be tried later when there is a chance.
While stirring the ingredients to better integrate them, I was thinking about what to make tonight.
Yan Xingxuan was watching from the side but could not help.
He wanted to light a fire, but Laishun had already seen it.
Laishun's main consideration was for him, because he was afraid that Yan Xingxuan would make him angry and he would not be able to talk to Xiao Nianzhi.
In fact, Yan Xingxuan is tall, so even if he is sitting, he can still talk to Xiao Nianzhi.
However, Laishun has passed, and Yan Xingxuan did not force it. He stood aside and handed tools to help from time to time.
Looking at the pomegranate juice that was as red as the sunset in the pot, Yan Xingxuan swallowed quietly and whispered: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, have you ever thought about making mooncakes?"
Of course there are mooncakes nowadays, but they are all made in old-fashioned ways and do not have as many variations as later generations.
But to be honest, Xiao Nianzhi still likes to eat this kind of old-fashioned food.
Of course, provided it tastes good.
Hearing Yan Xingxuan's question, Xiao Nianzhi also realized that it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival and he really had to prepare some mooncakes.
She was not sure whether the canteen would be ready, and was about to ask Aunt Yu when she heard Yan Xingxuan whisper to her: "Why don't you stop fussing, I will go into the palace and take some out, and eat with Xiang Xiang in the full moon."
”
The queen mother has brother Huang and brother Kang by her side, so she can sneak away on her own, right?
He didn't want to look at Xiao Nianzhi alone, but when he thought about it carefully...
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Imperial College Supervisors will have a day off and all students will go home.
Xiao Nianzhi must also be returning to Xiao Mansion.
Yan Xingxuan:.
The originally secretly joyful mood was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
The raised corners of the lips returned to their original positions unconsciously.
Yan Xingxuan couldn't help but think about the possibility that he would be able to get in if he came to ask Xiao Siye for leave during the Mid-Autumn Festival because he didn't know something about his knowledge.
It should be... ok?
This was Xiao Nianzhi's first Mid-Autumn Festival here. She thought for a while and asked Aunt Yu: "Auntie, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, will there be no bathing here in the academy?"
Aunt Yu was sitting under the eaves outside the small kitchen, enjoying the afternoon leisurely. Listening to Xiao Nianzhi's voice, she casually replied: "Take a day off."
A day's rest means that he has to go back to Xiao Mansion.
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi shook his head at Yan Xingxuan: "I have to go back home with my uncle, and I may not be able to celebrate the full moon with my brother."
Moreover, Xiao Nianzhi doesn’t think Yan Xingxuan will be released from the palace on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion?
It doesn't matter if you mess around at other times, but if you run out at this time, it's a bit unsightly, right?
Yan Xingxuan is not afraid of this. He is mainly afraid of entering the Xiao Mansion without a valid reason.
However, there was still some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he was going to slowly think about how to enter the Xiao Mansion in a legitimate and reasonable way and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Xiangxiang.
Xiao family father and son:???
Speaking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Nianzhi thought of moon cakes, and then thought about the molds he had customized before, and he had an idea about what to eat tonight.
Seeing the little girl deep in thought, Yan Xingxuan couldn't help but wonder: "Think about it, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Nianzhi didn't stop moving his hands and replied without raising his head: "I was thinking about what to eat for midnight snack today."
Late night snack?
When Xiao Nianzhi said this, he must have an idea.
Yan Xingxuan immediately put aside the Mid-Autumn Festival incident and asked excitedly: "Then what shall we eat?"
After Xiao Nianzhi put the sugar in place, he stirred it twice more, then turned off the heat. He was about to lift the small pot and pour the mixed sugar juice into the shaped plate when he was stopped by Yan Xingxuan: "I want to
Think, let me do it!"
How could Xiao Nianzhi be allowed to do such a dangerous job?
Moreover, he has been idle for most of the day, and now he is waiting for someone who can do it, but he is not allowed to show off himself.
Yan Xingxuan had no experience, so he prepared with his bare hands.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Nianzhi's heart was in his throat, and he quickly stopped the person: "Wait, wait a minute, the edge of the pot is very hot."
