Xiao Nianzhi can’t control the turmoil and power struggles in the court, and she can’t.
What is her identity?
What is his identity?
She can't even see those powerful people, let alone others.
Xiao Nianzhi finally let out a long sigh of relief as he watched the alcohol being packed in jars and then sent to the northwest together with military supplies.
In the past ten days, she has been busy with these things and has not even returned to the Imperial College.
Xiao Siye and his son were worried and sent Uncle Qin to come twice to give him some things.
Autumn is here and the weather is getting cooler.
Afraid that Xiao Nianzhi would be cold, Xiao Siye specially asked Uncle Qin to spend a lot of money to hire a tailor to come to Zhuangzi, measure Xiao Nianzhi and order clothes.
However, it will take some time for the finished clothes to come out.
In contrast, Aunt Yu, who already had Xiao Nianzhi's size, found it much easier to do things.
She went directly to Jinxiufang and ordered an expedited order.
Xiao Nianzhi hasn't even returned to the Imperial College yet, and new autumn clothes have already been delivered.
Also delivered was the autumn harvest gift arranged by the imperial court for Xiangjun.
There are not too many things, just two pieces of cloth. Taking into account the issue of her filial piety, the cloth given is one piece of cyan and one piece of blue.
In addition, there are two large bags of dried fruits and two bags of tea. The variety of dried fruits is not as complete as in later generations, but the quality is good and has been carefully selected by the imperial court.
When I received the items, it was already mid-September.
Yan Xingxuan returned to the palace the day before yesterday, but has not come back.
Wei Zhiqiu, on the other hand, doesn't think it's interesting and hasn't left recently.
Of course, the main thing is that the food cooked by Xiao Nianzhi is more delicious than the food in the palace.
Moreover, there were too many restrictions in the palace, and Wei Zhiqiu felt that he could not sit still at all. It was Zhuangzi who felt comfortable living with fewer people.
Therefore, even if the conditions on Zhuangzi's side are worse, she doesn't care.
The two have been together for less than half a month, and their relationship has become closer and closer.
Now Wei Zhiqiu is already calling Xiao Nianzhi "think about it" or "sister".
The other party was one year older than her. After asking about it, Xiao Nianzhi found out that the other party didn't mind calling her sister, so she called her Wei Zhiqiu sister just like Yan Changxia.
Xiao Nianzhi has been so busy recently that he even missed the birthdays of Zheng Qingran and Guo Yinghui.
Fortunately, the two of them were neither hairpin nor crown tall, so there was no big deal.
They all sent invitations to Xiao Nianzhi, but Xiao Nianzhi was too busy and couldn't go to any of them. They could only ask Yan Xingxuan to help them carry gifts.
During this time, in addition to alcohol, there are also tomatoes and peppers.
After laying out the tomatoes layer by layer, I found that the problem was good, and it was non-toxic. It looked like fruit, but Xiao Nianzhi said that he could try cooking it.
Because the quantity was not large, they originally wanted to stir-fry it, but Xiao Nianzhi said that if this sour and sweet thing were pure stir-fried, it would be sour, so why not consider adding something else?
Supervisor Shanglin Yuan and Supervisor Si Nong all quarreled for two days over what was best for frying tomatoes.
Then, cook the peppers.
Xiao Nianzhi:.
That’s outrageous.
In fact, it has been cooked before, but everyone is not sure what it is and how to eat it.
But as it grows bigger, it stops growing very much.
After Xiao Nianzhi heard Mr. Chen's description, he asked the other party to pick off two so that they could try them.
Well, the first bite was taken by Mr. Chen, and he almost sent the old man away.
Mr. Chen was so hot that he rose to heaven on the spot, and then called this thing: poisonous.
Of course, Xiao Nianzhi proved with his strength that this thing is not poisonous and is similar to dogwood. You may not be able to stand it if you eat it alone, but the seasoning is very powerful.
After figuring out how to eat chili peppers and looking at its growth rate and yield, the officials fell silent again.
So...
I think it is more suitable to plant this than dogwood, and what can I say about the flavor it produces?
That is, it feels more exciting.
There is no conflict between planting this and planting dogwood, but there are few seeds nowadays.
After learning how to eat this food, Supervisor Shanglin Yuan and Supervisor Si Nong had another quarrel.
Officials from both parties even took action directly over the ownership of pepper seeds.
Xiao Nianzhi was present at that time, and she was amazed!
Scholars are gentle, but when they fight, they are also all kinds of twists and turns, which is eye-opening.
Xiao Nianzhi does not need to worry about saving seeds.
Because of this wave of contributions, the emperor sent money to Xiao Nianzhi again.
Well, five hundred taels.
Xiao Nianzhi’s small treasury is quite thick.
After finishing the alcohol thing, Xiao Nianzhi packed up and prepared to go back to the Imperial College. However, as soon as he finished packing and before he even got on the carriage, Yan Xingxuan came over.
After his carriage came over, before it stopped, he jumped out of the carriage impatiently: "Think about it, think about it, let's go to the official kiln quickly, we are free recently!"
Wei Zhiqiu heard the commotion and was walking out with the bowl in hand.
When Wei Zhiqiu heard that Xiao Nianzhi was going back to the Imperial College, he felt very bad.
She can't go to that place yet, but she is already thinking about whether she can go in and do something?
She has no skills, but she has strength.
With her skills, she can sweep the floor, wash dishes, etc., right?
Wei Zhiqiu thought uncertainly. In order to appease her emotions, and of course, to bring some snacks back to Xiao Siye and his son, Xiao Nianzhi got up early and made mince cake.
The citrus fruits were sent by Yan Xingxuan before. You can tell by looking at the quality that they are specially supplied to the royal family.
The cherries are made from candied cherries, which saves a lot of work.
All the other seasonings are quite complete, so they will be out of the oven quickly.
After Xiao Nianzhi let it cool down a little, he wrapped part of it in paper and took it back to Xiao Siye and his son. Some of it was left with Wei Zhiqiu.
Yan Xingxuan had just jumped off the carriage, and after seeing Xiao Nianzhi, he was about to talk about the official kiln in detail, and then he saw Wei Zhiqiu holding a bowl and talking without stopping.
Then, he became sour!
No, he has been gone for two days, how can there be delicious food here?
Damn it, that thing looks so delicious just by looking at it.
The sweet and fruity aroma wafted over, which was a fatal food attack. Yan Xingxuan felt that his bottom line could no longer be maintained!
But, no, it’s more important to think about it!
He looked away with difficulty and swallowed quietly. Yan Xingxuan was about to speak when he heard Xiao Nianzhi's smiling voice ringing in his ears: "I'll pack a portion for you to eat on the way later."
What Xiao Nianzhi thinks is that if he can meet him, he will give it to him. If he can't meet him, he can just find another opportunity to do it later.
Although citrus is not often available, after autumn and winter, these things will be transported from the south one after another. Although transportation is not convenient and the journey is still long, if these things are stored properly, they can still be stored for a long time, which is not bad.
Don't worry about this.
The ingredients are complete and can be cooked at any time, so there is no need to worry about Yan Xingxuan not being able to eat.
The saliva that Yan Xingxuan had swallowed almost came up again when he heard these words, embarrassing him in public.
He closed his mouth tightly, and after feeling that the saliva would stop coming up, he spoke with difficulty: "Okay."
Yan Xingxuan also wanted to say a few more words, but his saliva didn't allow it!
It’s not that he was unsatisfied, it was just that the fragrance of mince cakes was constantly coming over him, and he simply couldn’t resist the temptation of delicious food.
Especially, I still want to make this delicious food.
