Xiao Nianzhi took the matter of antibiotics seriously and thought of giving the medicine to Guo Sixue if there was an opportunity.
As for how they will use the medicine after they get it? Will it be a waste?
There is a high probability that Xiao Nianzhi won't be able to help because she doesn't understand medicine either, so it's better not to dictate and let people who understand do it.
After suppressing their thoughts and preparing the ingredients, Xiao Nianzhi and Aunt Yu quickly went to the temple kitchen.
The kitchen is very clean with minimal traces of oil fumes.
I don't think there are many places where oil is usually used. Although I know that the temple cleanses and cleanses the body, but...
Almost no oil or water.
Xiao Nianzhi just thought about it and felt that his soul did not want to be bound by this.
She is in awe of Buddha, but she also loves food.
Xiao Nianzhi put the ingredients he brought next to the stove and asked Aunt Yu: "Let's make ice dumplings. The ingredients are not complete, but they are enough."
After hearing this, Aunt Yu only asked one question keenly: "Sweet?"
Xiao Nianzhi nodded obediently, and then couldn't help but remind him: "Eating too much sweet food is not good for your skin, and it's easy to..."
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Yu had already clasped her hands together and admitted her mistake with an excellent attitude: "I know, I know, I will do it next time, I will do it next time."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Nianzhi felt angry and helpless, but he didn't force it.
Quitting sugar is inherently painful.
So, take your time.
If you want to eat iced glutinous rice balls, you have to start from the first step.
make dumpling.
In modern times, Xiao Nianzhi would sometimes be lazy and buy ready-made glutinous rice balls.
Chilled glutinous rice balls do not need to be filled, so there is not much difference in taste, but the texture is different.
Those that can be sold as finished products taste very good. Of course, sometimes they may also have added black technology or something.
Xiao Nianzhi just turned a blind eye and comforted himself that eating it once in a while was nothing.
Now there is no finished product, so we can only rub it manually.
In order to add more color to the ice glutinous rice balls, Xiao Nianzhi planned to add some color to the glutinous rice flour.
However, there are no various food coloring powders nowadays, so Xiao Nianzhi needs to find a way on his own.
She had already thought about this on the way here. She asked for some spinach from the temple, mixed the noodles with boiled spinach water, and she would get green dough, and then kneaded out small green glutinous rice balls.
There was also purple sweet potato starch in the delicious kitchen, and she took it out early and wrapped it in oil paper.
The three colors of green, white and purple are considered rich.
The amount of pigment powder added is very small, and it mainly plays a coloring role. The main ingredient is glutinous rice flour.
Watching Xiao Nianzhi skillfully boiling water and kneading noodles, Aunt Yu watched with envy for a while.
After the dough is mixed, you can start rolling it into long strips, cutting the ingredients, and rolling it into balls!
Aunt Yu had done this before when she was rubbing pearls.
Therefore, when she started, she also had the attitude of a skilled worker.
And when it comes to food, Aunt Yu feels that she has talent in this area!
So, make glutinous rice balls!
Aunt Yu rubbed four of them at once and felt that she was super capable!
As a result, he turned around and found that Xiao Nianzhi had rubbed six times.
If her hands weren't small, she could even rub more at the same time.
Those cut little pills were like obedient little toys when they came into her hands. They turned into whatever shape she wanted them to take.
Aunt Yu was so envious that she almost shed tears, and at the same time she rounded the four balls on her hand with tears in her eyes.
No, she couldn't admit defeat.
She can also rub six!
However, this is a process that requires constant practice and familiarity.
Therefore, Aunt Yu can't rub six for the time being.
Glutinous rice is not easy to digest. Although it is still afternoon, eating too much will put a heavy burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi was not prepared to do more.
In addition to their master and apprentice, two bowls were prepared for the Guo siblings.
If you want to make the glutinous rice balls soft, glutinous and smooth, there are two key points. One is that the water used to make the noodles should be hot, and the other is that after cooking, the water used to cook the glutinous rice balls should be cold, ice water is best!
Nowadays, the conditions are limited, and they don't bring much saltpeter. Xiao Nianzhi is too lazy to bother with it a second time. He has to make smoothies soon, so he can just make do with cold water.
However, as long as the effect can be achieved, Xiao Nianzhi will not go out of his way to pick out these details.
Because they are not big, the cooked glutinous rice balls are soft and cute, giving people a chubby, cute-next-door look.
Aunt Yu watched from the side and swallowed quietly.
In fact, boiled glutinous rice balls don’t have much flavor, but...
If you rub it yourself, it feels different.
Moreover, when Xiao Nianzhi started to do it, Aunt Yu had already determined that the final product would be delicious!
Once the glutinous rice balls are cooked, half the success of this delicacy is achieved.
While the glutinous rice balls were soaking in cold water, Xiao Nianzhi boiled the brown sugar water for the base sauce.
The ratio of water to brown sugar is one to one. The degree of cooking depends on the feel.
Just leave this job to Aunt Yu, while Xiao Nianzhi goes to tinker with the ice.
Nowadays, the method of making ice has become popular among the nobles.
The main reason is that the summer is too hot, and the demand for ice suddenly becomes strong.
Although the saltpeter used to make ice can be reused.
But sometimes, the masters couldn't wait, and each government would purchase slightly more.
Therefore, the price of saltpeter in Beijing has been high recently.
The one in Xiao Nianzhi's hand was brought out from the palace by Aunt Yu.
Since she only needed a little smoothie, she didn’t use a particularly large amount.
Because the brown sugar needs to be cooled after boiling, the iced glutinous rice balls are refreshing and refreshing to eat.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi prepared the saltpeter and tools and did not move in a hurry.
I had made some secret red beans before and could still keep them for a while, so Xiao Nian brought a small bottle over. There was no need to make them now.
Crushed mountain dregs and raisins were also brought back by Aunt Yu.
Either it was a reward from the palace, or she bought it on the road.
Of course, there is also the most important flavoring artifact - osmanthus honey.
Aunt Yu said this was a reward from Concubine Sun.
When Aunt Yu was talking before, Xiao Nianzhi was listening quietly on the side.
Now I can ask a few more questions: "By the way, how is my concubine's health? Is she feeling better?"
Xiao Nianzhi watched the original plot thoroughly, but now he doesn't know if there is anything about the concubine in it.
However, the fact that the other party's illness attracted so many people's attention was probably from the Queen Mother's team.
Because we are part of the final victor's team, we receive the care of His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
Aunt Yu had just brought the brown sugar pot to the window, ready to take advantage of the not-so-cool wind outside to cool it down.
Hearing Xiao Nianzhi's question, she nodded: "It's better now, but it's an old problem. The imperial doctor advised her, and the queen mother and her majesty also told her, but the concubine didn't listen. Every time she got sick, she could only be obedient for a few days, and then she became old again. Look."
