Xiao Nianzhi thinks that it’s not like no one is talking, right?
So, after thinking about it for a while, he tentatively said, "...Okay?"
Everyone except Zhou Libai spoke up, which made the atmosphere relax unconsciously.
Yan Changxia even adjusted her sitting posture, trying to make herself more comfortable, and said with a smile: "You guys didn't speak, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to say anything. By the way, sister, did you say the wheat germ is dry?"
If the weather is hot, the wheat should be sprayed with water on time and left in a cool place for about three days, which should be enough to germinate.
Once the buds sprout, you can make sugar.
Moreover, the pure plant sugar is actually not particularly sweet, but it tastes very good.
Of course, Xiao Nianzhi’s main purpose is to make condensed milk, so he can make more of it as a way to quench his summer cravings.
After all, it’s hot and it’s hard to store candies.
Hearing Yan Changxia ask at this time, Xiao Nianzhi thought for a while: "It should be okay. The buds grew well yesterday. If we spray water for another day today, they should grow well. Let's do it when we get back in the evening."
As soon as he heard about making candy, Zheng Qingran also became interested: "Tell me, how to make it? How can we help?"
When Zhou Libai saw that everyone was talking, she remained silent and seemed a little out of the group. After thinking about it, she came over and said, "Although I'm not very good at it, I can learn and I can help."
The process of making maltose is actually not difficult.
Basically, it's steaming, fermentation, and then boiling sugar water into syrup, and that's it.
However, because there is a fermentation process, Xiao Nianzhi thought for a while and nodded: "Make the preparations tonight and do it tomorrow. You have to give the wheat and glutinous rice time to ferment and react."
A sufficient fermentation reaction will produce more sugar.
Hearing what she said, the others nodded in understanding.
Actually, I really don’t understand.
However, everyone else nodded, and they could only follow suit.
Looking at the three people, looking at each other with their little eyes, Xiao Nianzhi almost burst out laughing uncontrollably.
All three of them are so cute!
The four of them went from being silent at first to chatting and laughing, without even using a stick of incense.
Yan Xingxuan was in the carriage behind, listening to the laughter coming from the carriage in front from time to time, and couldn't help but complain to Lai Shun: "Tell me, why can't I be a princess?"
Laishun has heard this sentence many times recently.
He didn't know what to say before, but this time he heard it, thought about it, and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Master, in terms of status, you should be a princess."
Yan Xingxuan:?
He gave Lai Shun a subtle look, and his expression seemed to say: Does the king care about the princess or the princess?
Laishun understood, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only show an awkward but polite smile.
Yan Xingxuan didn't expect him to say anything. He sighed helplessly and stuck his head out of the window on one side to see the excitement outside.
Then there is no one to talk to, so why can’t we just look at the scenery?
At this time, in the carriage in front, the topic had shifted from maltose to the relationship between men and women.
Zheng Qingran sent someone back to pick up things yesterday and asked about a lot of new things in the city. Now he shared them with the little sisters: "Yesterday, I heard from Qingtao that the second girl of the Yu family stopped my second cousin in the street again. I expressed my love and pushed my second cousin to the point where he finally rode away. It is said that he almost fell down. I don’t know if my aunt will be so angry that she will go into the palace to see the queen again. "
There was a lot of information in this sentence, and Xiao Nianzhi took a moment to digest it.
The second girl of the Yu family should be the sister of Yu Qinglan, the vicious female supporting character in the plot, and she is a twin sister.
Xiao Nianzhi didn't remember the specific name of the other party.
After all, compared to the vicious female supporting role of the elder sister, the younger sister can only be regarded as a marginal cannon fodder.
The second cousin is Meng Yinze.
Meng Yinze is a well-known handsome and erudite young man in the capital. The other person is a weak scholar and is not good at equestrian skills, so he can force the other person to run away on horseback. I guess this girl Yu Er is also a capable person!
After Yan Changxia heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "These sisters from the Yu family are really interesting. One is stuck to Prince Lu and can't be torn off, and the other is trying to fight against Second Young Master Meng. What are they all for? The whole capital is full of people. The young master, these two are the only ones left, why can’t they choose someone else... to like?"
Yan Changxia's mouth was so fast that he almost said the word "disaster" on impulse.
However, when it finally came to my lips, I turned a corner and changed the word to: like.
Zhou Libai originally adhered to the principle of being cautious in words and deeds.
However, the little girl was not very old after all, so she quickly lost control of her gossip and wanted to get together and share it with everyone.
As a result, when I came together, I found that I had eaten the melon on my own head.
No matter what, Lu Jingyuan is still her fiancé.
When Yan Changxia said these words, Zhou Libai felt somewhat embarrassed.
Xiao Nianzhi was the first to react. She reached behind her hand and quietly poked Yan Changxia's lower back.
After Yan Changxia finished speaking, he realized that Zhou Libai was still there and Lu Jingyuan was his fiancé.
Ah this...
Yan Changxia's face stiffened for a moment. She tried to change the topic and say something else to save Zhou Libai from embarrassment.
As a result, before she had time to make amends, she heard Zheng Qingran say curiously: "Sanniang, have you ever thought about changing your fiancé?"
Xiao Nianzhi:.
Yan Changxia:. .
Zhou Libai:. . .
There was a moment of awkward silence.
Zhou Libai didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only smile: "I can't decide on the important matter of marriage or my parents' orders for the time being."
This matter was ordered by the elders, and there was really nothing she could do.
Even if you were happy before, it was hard to show too much.
Even if I am dissatisfied now, I cannot express it.
One is due to etiquette and upbringing, and the other is that the Lu family has not collapsed, but has declined. No one can predict the future, and there is no way to know whether the other person's family will one day rise again.
What if, one day, the relationship is reversed and their family is in a weak position, will the other party retaliate for what happened in the first place?
If someone else came over, he would be embarrassed to continue after hearing what Zhou Libai said.
But Zheng Qingran doesn’t...
This girl is upright by nature and doesn't know how to turn around when talking.
So, after listening to Zhou Libai's words, she nodded: "Although it is your parents who make the decision, you have to have some ideas yourself, and you have to make it clear what you should tell your parents. Since it is not a good match, we will choose a good one. , there are so many good men in the capital, and his family is not the only one with good men, the others are also quite good."
At this point, Zheng Qingran said he was excited: "Hey! Tell me, what do you think of my second cousin? I think my second cousin is pretty good, you can use it as a reference."
