Bayberry is not resistant to cooking, so the time must be controlled well.
After the water boils, cook for ten minutes, add the peeled lychees, cook for another minute, and then turn off the heat.
If the time is longer, the bayberry will easily turn into lingering fruit pieces, floating all over the pot.
The matter of time control must be summed up after many attempts.
Xiao Nianzhi has tried it many times herself, and she likes the taste of bayberry cooked at this time the best.
So, take the time, turn off the fire, and pour out part of the bayberry drink. Of course, you must pour out all the bayberries and lychees, leaving part of the juice for milking.
After pouring, let the remaining part cool and then put it in the refrigerator.
Xiao Nianzhi is not in a hurry as he can't drink the one that lasts for a while, but Xiao Nianzhi also likes the fragrant bayberry drink chilled.
So, we all have to wait.
Naturally, the waiting time could not be wasted, and Xiao Nianzhi began to look for ingredients again.
At one o'clock in the morning, Xiao Nianzhi has successfully fooled him enough with his experience in the delicious kitchen!
[The experience value of Delicious Kitchen is 6, and 144 experience points are needed to upgrade.]
【Congratulations on reaching level 3.】
[Get upgrade reward: blind box*1.]
Of course, I drank the fragrant bayberry drink, drank milk, and ate some snacks, cakes and the like.
Anyway, after staying up until early in the morning, Xiao Nianzhi was not only not hungry, but also a little full.
Of course, there is still a lot of stock in the refrigerator.
Like the sweet and sour bayberry drink, she didn't finish it, there was still a lot left.
Looking at the blind box of rewards, Xiao Nianzhi just washed his hands and burned incense to show his respect for it.
When Xiao Nianzhi clicked on the blind box, he kept praying and chanting: "Be sure to open a good one!"
After rubbing his hands for a long time, Xiao Nianzhi finally clicked on the blind box.
A gorgeous firework exploded in front of my eyes, and then a bunch of items followed closely, falling directly on the kitchen sink.
[Congratulations on getting: a pack of pepper seeds (containing six varieties of millet pepper, wild mountain pepper, bell pepper, bullet, two vitex, and seven-star pepper, ten pieces each)]
[Congratulations on getting: a pack of tomato seeds (contains 10 early-maturing varieties and 10 medium-maturing varieties.)]
[Congratulations on getting: 4 pepper seedlings (2 black pepper plants, 2 white pepper plants.)]
[Congratulations on getting: 2 packs of sprouted purple sweet potatoes (20 pieces in total).]
Looking at this piece of seed reward, Xiao Nianzhi felt a little dizzy.
She's dizzy!
Sometimes, when all your wishes come true, it is really a very beautiful thing, especially for Xiao Nianzhi at this time.
She was so excited that she no longer felt sleepy!
It feels great to have whatever you want!
Pepper trees will only start to bear fruit in two to three years. This can be ignored and is an early investment.
However, tomatoes are not an early-maturing variety. If you take good care of them, they can bear fruit in four months!
Late-maturing varieties can only mature within six months at most.
However, the time is not very good now, so it would be a bit late to plant the seeds.
However, if you use early-maturing varieties, you can actually harvest them before the weather gets cold.
Just in time, I can stock up on another wave of seeds!
The growth cycle of purple sweet potato is shorter than that of tomatoes, but time is not available nowadays.
Tomatoes can be planted later, they are slightly more cold tolerant, but...
There is no purple sweet potato.
This is a bit of a pity.
Fortunately, the upgrade rewards can be stored for a long time, so Xiao Nianzhi can wait for next year with peace of mind.
After calming down his excitement and storing all the items, Xiao Nianzhi got up and went to the kitchen.
It's past one o'clock in the morning, and I have to change the water for the starch.
Because the quantity was not large, Xiao Nianzhi thought that he could just do it himself and not ask anyone else.
However, walnuts and jujubes still appeared.
They didn't call Aunt Qin, they just stood quietly in the corridor waiting for Xiao Nianzhi.
Because they don't know how to operate, otherwise, they wouldn't even need to let Xiao Nianzhi bother with it.
Xiao Nianzhi took two little girls and changed the starch water.
Of course, the poured water also contains a small amount of starch. It would be too wasteful to pour this water directly, so it is poured into a large tank on one side and transported back to Zhuangzi, where it is mixed with wheat bran and other grains and can be fed to pigs.
Feeding sheep, the smell should be quite strong.
After pouring the water, Xiao Nianzhi took the two of them to change the water for the starch again, and stirred up the precipitated starch so that impurities and colors could float to the surface. With the next water change,
It was dumped directly.
After doing this several times, they can get pea starch as pure white as snow.
After struggling for a long time, Xiao Nianzhi motioned for the two of them to go to bed.
I told them again that they could just get up at midnight and repeat the current operation.
At five o'clock, Xiao Nianzhi was not ready to get up.
During the day, she still had to go out with Xiao Siye to go through the formalities, so she had to be energetic.
Xiao Nianzhi was tired all night. After returning home, he fell asleep.
Because she was so tired, when she got up in the morning, she didn't even remember what she had dreamed last night.
When she got up, it was already a quarter of the hour, and Walnut came to call her specially.
After getting up to freshen up and change clothes, he took a look at the starches and found that the two little girls were doing a good job. Xiao Nianzhi nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, I accompanied Xiao Siye to have breakfast. As soon as he finished eating, someone from the palace came over.
With someone from the palace taking him along, Xiao Nianzhi’s trip today went particularly smoothly.
When she went out in the morning, she was still poor and poor.
When she came back at noon, she was already a rich little woman with a house, land and money.
Xiao Siye quietly gave the palace man a reward and politely sent him away. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s great that Xiao Nianzhi now has something he can settle down and live in!
Xiao Siye couldn't help but feel sore in his eyes. He felt that he was worthy of his clan brother now, right?
Of course, it doesn't mean that Xiao Nianzhi doesn't care about his children now that he has a house and land.
The little girl is young and has no one around her.
Therefore, what Xiao Siye means is that it is okay to leave the house empty for now.
Xiao Nianzhi still stayed in the mansion. In fact, she only lived in the mansion for a short time. She spent more time in the Imperial College.
Xiao Nianzhi naturally has no objection to this.
In the afternoon, after changing the water several times, the pea starch, with all impurities and colors removed, can finally be removed from the water basin, placed on oil paper or gauze, and dried.
Wait until it is dry and beat it into powder. This pea starch is a success!
Of course, Xiao Nianzhi was not idle after coming back at noon.
She went to buy alkaline water again.
This thing is so practical!
Now that we already have pea starch, if we don’t have edible alkali, wouldn’t we miss out on a lot of delicious food?
Moreover, one of the raw materials for making soap is also alkali.
I just figured out how to make ice, so I'm not in a hurry with soap and soap.
But...
If you don’t want to wait for delicious food, go get some alkaline water!
