Tang Shiyue half-understood what she heard. Magistrate Lin explained, and then she understood that it turned out that it was now allowed to pay to go to the Imperial College. After going to the Imperial College, just like ordinary Gongsheng students, they could take exams and become officials.
The so-called yinjian refers to those who obtained the qualification to enter prison by relying on the official position of their fathers and ancestors, while those who used money to buy the qualification to enter prison are called regular prisoner.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Wenqu was still such a hot-blooded middle school student, the Xu Siyuan she met looked completely different from him!
Tang Shiyue couldn't help but said: "That frightened horse... was it man-made or an accident?"
Magistrate Lin's eyes flashed and he patted her head: "You kid, you dare not ask anything!" After saying that, he whispered: "Who knows?"
Tang Shiyue asked: "When did this happen?"
Magistrate Lin said: "It should be... in the early years of Ming Yan, more than six years ago."
Tang Shiyue: "..."
She asked: "Then what is the governor's name?"
Magistrate Lin said, "Li Jinzhong."
The two of them kept asking and answering questions, and they couldn't stop talking. Yang finally couldn't help but said: "Show me the recipe first!"
Magistrate Lin said: "Wait a minute, I'll make a copy first." He took the note and went to the study.
Until she came out of the county government office, she was still immersed in the surprise that "there was a hidden dragon and crouching tiger around me."
I went out and did some shopping in the town, and also took a look at Sanquan Restaurant.
Sanquan Restaurant is not big, and it does not look like Sifang Restaurant. It is located in a more luxurious section. The houses everywhere are relatively low. There should still be a market for cheap products like preserved eggs.
When I came out and passed a rice shop, I saw that this shop was selling broken rice.
Many people were still reluctant to eat the rice. Even if it was broken, it was not cheap. Not many people bought it. Tang Shiyue stared at the half-tank of broken rice and thought for a while, then went directly to bid on it and bought it all.
With ready-made lime on hand, she thought of another thing, jelly.
There are no sweet potatoes in Dayan, but you can use rice to make rice jelly, which is also a food suitable for summer.
I bought the rice, but I didn’t have time to cook it for a while.
Because the first batch of ale has been brewed, and a batch of fruits and medicinal materials have also been purchased, Tang Shiyue still has to rush to brew Fushou wine.
The materials are fed in a special factory building, and we have told you in advance that no one is allowed to move around at will.
Qi Jing also came over, and went in with Tang Shiyue, Fourth Uncle Tang, and Madam Zhou. They weighed the prepared medicinal materials on the spot and put them into the big wine jars. Then Tang Shiyue did the last step, and then moved aside, and others
people came to seal the altar.
Tang Yong was outside, patrolling back and forth with a few people. Uncle Tang San was also among them.
Some people couldn't help but say: "Mr. Tang is so young and yet so stable in everything she does. If anyone marries her, wouldn't they be marrying a golden doll?"
Another person laughed and said: "You are just a fool. You are so interested in Qi Xiaolang. Do you think it is just out of kindness?"
Someone smiled at Tang Sanshu and said: "You fourth brother are too careful. Four people are doing it, and there is a young lady among them. How long can we do it! If we are brothers like you, what can we do if we go in and help!"
Uncle Tang San smiled coquettishly and said nothing, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Who are you being so careful to guard against? They are brothers! Not much closer than Tang Shiyue?
This batch of two thousand catties of loquat wine, one thousand catties of peach wine, and sixty large wine jars took a whole day of work.
Early the next morning, she got up and started making rice jelly.
First, wash the rice carefully and soak it in water for about three hours.
Then add the lime to water to dissolve it into saturated lime water, let it clarify naturally, and then take out the supernatant.
She found a nearby house with a stone mill, ground the rice with water and rice into rice slurry. The ratio of rice to water in this rice slurry was usually one to one.
After coming back, put it into the pot, bring the rice milk to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer slowly.
At this time, use a wooden stick to stir the pot continuously to avoid burning the pot. Boil it until it is half cooked, and then slowly pour the lime water prepared before into the pot to let the rice milk solidify.
The amount of lime water used is generally controlled so that there is no bitterness.
This dosage is not easy to grasp. Tang Shiyue spent four pots of rice milk before finally finding the most suitable degree. Generally speaking, for ten ladles of rice milk, one ladle plus one wine bowl of lime water is needed.
, just right.
After adding the lime water, the rice slurry still needs to boil. At this time, keep stirring until the rice slurry is lifted up by the spoon and spreads on the shovel. It is considered done.
Then pour it into a basin, and after it cools down, just take it out.
Tang Shiyue worked hard for most of the day before finally making the jelly, and she felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment!
She was looking with her hands on her hips when she saw Qi Jing coming in and asked, "What are you doing?"
Tang Shiyue smiled and said: "Wait! You are in for a treat!"
She cut out a small piece of jelly and cut it into cubes the size of a mahjong tile. Then she added salt, soy sauce, vinegar, black bean paste, minced garlic, sesame powder, Sichuan pepper powder, etc., mixed it a little, and served it to him: "Taste it."
taste."
When Qi Jing took it, a salty aroma hit her nose. The little cubes were as white as cream and crystal clear, with condiments pressed down on them like snow on the top of the mountain.
Qi Jing took a pair of chopsticks and mixed it a little, then took a bite. It was cool and smooth in the mouth, with a numbing, sour and salty aroma. Taking a bite on a hot day, it felt so good all over the body!
Tang Shiyue asked: "Is it delicious?"
He ate a few pieces in a row before saying, "It's delicious." He paused and asked, "Would you like to try it?"
"Okay!" Tang Shiyue said, "I haven't tasted it yet!" He pulled out a pair of chopsticks.
Just as she bent down to take it, he suddenly took a piece and handed it to her mouth.
Tang Shiyue was slightly stunned and glanced at him. His dark phoenix eyes were looking at her intently.
She would never admit it to her death, but she was so aroused by his actions and eyes!
She hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth to eat. Qi Jing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, lowered her head and ate a few more before asking, "What is this?"
Tang Shiyue straightened up, her ears feeling slightly warm.
So he laughed and said, "I just thought of it. I haven't given it a name yet. How about calling it Ah Jing Nen Tofu?"
He glanced at her. Although he didn't know what the word meant, he instinctively felt it was inappropriate, so he said, "Since you came up with it, why not call it Ayue Tofu."
Tang Shiyue laughed: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. This is made from rice flour, so it's called rice jelly."
Before he finished speaking, he saw several people coming in from the door. Tang Junchen opened his mouth and said: "Brother Qi, Ah Yue, you are not kind, you are eating alone! We are listening next door!" He came over in a few steps: "This is
What? Is it delicious?"
He stretched out his hand to grab the chopsticks, but Qi Jing ducked out of the way, then directly raised his feet and jumped to the eaves, eating slowly.
"Ah!" Tang Junchen raised his head and said, "Brother Qi! You are so unjust!"
Tang Shiyue laughed and said: "Okay, hurry up and wash your hands and come here to try it!"
Tang Junchen left shouting, and Tang Shiyue looked up. Qi Jing was still sitting on the eaves, with a trace of childish pride between his eyebrows. This exposed emotion made him look "younger"
Many, handsome and dazzling.
Tang Shiyue brought out a few more dishes, and while several people were eating, they heard someone outside say: "Master Tang!"
Now not only the people in the wine shop call her Mr. Tang, but also the people in the village. Because Uncle Tang's fourth uncle is also named Tang, everyone calls him the fourth boss. It's as if there are two heads in the middle.
Tang Shiyue responded, and the people outside came in and said with a smile: "These two are looking for your brother! I will bring them here."
Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen were happily eating a plate of jelly. When they looked up and saw the person coming, they were both surprised. (To be continued)
