Yan Xingxuan didn't know how he was able to control it, but he had a hard time keeping his head and eyes under control.
Xiao Nianzhi, who was sitting next to him, had become more and more comfortable with the sometimes too hot gaze.
At first, her ears were still a little warm, and she couldn't help but want to turn her head to the side and press them to relieve the heat.
Later, I was immersed in the sweet fragrance of pomegranate and could no longer care about anything else, but I slowly got used to it.
Aunt Yu sat opposite, looking at the two people, one with difficulty and restraint, the other calmly and calmly.
I don't know why I started to sympathize with Yan Xingxuan.
This little apprentice of hers has a very good idea in mind.
Maybe when others know that Yan Xingxuan is happy with them, they won't be able to control their emotions or their ambitions.
After all, the position of Princess Wei is quite tempting.
However, Xiao Nianzhi was calm and calm. He did not feel complacent because of Yan Xingxuan's love, nor did he lose himself because of the other person's identity.
She is calm and rational.
The more this happens, the more it proves that Xiao Nianzhi is more rational than emotional when it comes to emotional matters.
In this way, Aunt Yu can rest assured.
It’s good that the apprentice won’t be deceived.
As for the others?
What does that have to do with her?
Aunt Yu innocently spread her hands.
After enjoying the sweet and juicy pomegranates, Laishun and the others also brought back the pomegranates from Shanglin Yuan Prison.
When the new pomegranates arrived, Xiao Nianzhi peeled one off and took a look.
With the pearls in front, no matter how beautiful or fragrant the next ones are, they won't be able to amaze her.
What's more, the pomegranates from Shanglin Yuanjian are really not as good as those from Huaizhou before.
While Xiao Nianzhi was peeling the pomegranate, she couldn't help but think that if she had the chance, she would like to visit Huaizhou.
The time when pomegranates are in season passes, and then...
Sit under the tree and eat! ! !
Thinking about it this way, my hands seemed to become stronger.
Everyone peeled the pomegranate together, and then Xiao Nianzhi used gauze to squeeze it back and forth repeatedly to squeeze out the pomegranate juice.
Pomegranate gummy candies are made, similar to various puddings.
They all need to be simmered over low heat, and then things are added to it.
For soft candies, it’s best to add gelatin sheets, which is the gelatin that Xiao Nianzhi made before.
She packed it in the jar, tied the mouth of the jar tightly, and made a good seal.
Even if it rained in the middle, it didn't get damp at all.
After soaking in water to soften it, add it to the pot according to the heat.
In addition to gelatin, corn syrup also needs to be added. Xiao Nianzhi could not extract this yet, so he used maltose syrup instead.
Of course, sugar is added at the end.
Gummy candy, it occupies the word "sugar", it means sweet!
Of course, there is another way to use corn starch.
Xiao Nianzhi prefers the one he is currently doing, and he can try the other one later when he has the opportunity.
While stirring to let the ingredients blend in better, I was thinking about what to make tonight.
Yan Xingxuan watched from the side and was unable to help.
He wanted to start a fire, but Lai Shun had already seen enough to pass it.
Laishun's main consideration was for him, because he was afraid that Yan Xingxuan would be in trouble, and he would not be able to talk to Xiao Nianzhi.
In fact, Yan Xingxuan was tall, so even if he was sitting, it would not affect his conversation with Xiao Nianzhi.
However, Laishun has passed, and Yan Xingxuan did not force it. He stood aside and handed tools to help from time to time.
Looking at the pomegranate juice that was as red as the sunset in the pot, Yan Xingxuan swallowed quietly and whispered: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, have you ever thought about making mooncakes?"
Of course there are mooncakes nowadays, but they are all made in old-fashioned ways and do not have as many tricks as later generations.
But to be honest, Xiao Nianzhi still likes to eat this kind of old-fashioned food.
Of course, provided it tastes good.
Hearing Yan Xingxuan's question, Xiao Nianzhi also realized that it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival and he really had to prepare some mooncakes.
She was not sure whether the canteen would be ready, and was about to ask Aunt Yu when she heard Yan Xingxuan whisper to her: "Why don't you stop fussing, I will go into the palace and take some out, and eat with Xiang Xiang in the full moon. "
The queen mother has brother Huang and brother Kang by her side, so she can sneak away on her own, right?
He didn't want to look at Xiao Nianzhi alone, but when he thought about it carefully...
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Imperial College Supervisors would take a day off and all the students would go home.
Xiao Nianzhi must also be returning to Xiao Mansion.
Yan Xingxuan:.
The mood that was originally secretly joyful was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
The raised corners of his lips returned to their original positions unconsciously.
Yan Xingxuan couldn't help but think about the possibility that he might be able to get in if he came to ask for leave from Xiao Siye during the Mid-Autumn Festival because he didn't know something about his knowledge.
It might work?
This was Xiao Nianzhi's first Mid-Autumn Festival here. She thought for a while and asked Aunt Yu: "Auntie, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, will there be no bathing here in the academy?"
Aunt Yu was sitting under the eaves outside the small kitchen, enjoying the afternoon leisurely. Listening to Xiao Nianzhi's voice, she casually replied: "Take a day off."
A day's rest means that he has to go back to Xiao Mansion.
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi shook his head at Yan Xingxuan: "I have to go back home with my uncle. I may not be able to watch the full moon with my brother."
Moreover, Xiao Nianzhi didn’t think Yan Xingxuan would be released from the palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion day?
It doesn't matter if you mess around at other times, but if you run out at this time, it's a bit unsightly, right?
Yan Xingxuan is not afraid of this. He is mainly afraid of entering Xiao Mansion without a valid reason.
However, there was still some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he was going to slowly think about how to enter the Xiao Mansion in a legitimate and reasonable way and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Xiangxiang.
Xiao family father and son:? ? ?
Speaking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Nianzhi thought of mooncakes, and then thought about the molds he had customized before, and he had an idea about what to eat tonight.
Seeing the little girl deep in thought, Yan Xingxuan couldn't help but said curiously: "Think about it, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Nianzhi didn't stop moving his hands and replied without raising his head: "I was thinking about what to have for midnight snack today."
Night snack?
Xiao Nianzhi must have an idea when he said this.
Yan Xingxuan simply put aside the Mid-Autumn Festival incident and asked excitedly: "Then what shall we eat?"
After Xiao Nianzhi put the sugar in place, he stirred it twice more, then turned off the heat. He was about to lift the small pot and pour the mixed sugar juice into the fixed plate when he was stopped by Yan Xingxuan: "I want to Think, let me do it!”
How could Xiao Nianzhi be allowed to do such a dangerous job?
Moreover, he has been idle for most of the day, and now he can be regarded as waiting for someone to do something, but he is not allowed to show off himself.
Yan Xingxuan had no experience, so he prepared with his bare hands.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Nianzhi's heart was in his throat, and he quickly stopped the person: "Wait, wait a minute, the edge of the pot is very hot."
