Chapter 148 Three-color sweet soup
The three brothers of Yao Jiazhong who rushed in quickly asked, "Mom, what happened?"
Zhong: "We want to cook, and those nobles are hungry, and it's not a problem to sit and drink tea."
"They didn't say anything about cooking!" Uncle Yao Jiazhong blurted out.
"You elm-head, don't you think about it?" Zhong's wife was so angry that she couldn't make her strong.
Yao Jiazhong was scolded in front of a bunch of juniors, and he just touched his head and laughed.
Shaking his head, "Boss, second, third, mother thinks so. Look, Zhou Yan and them have been standing for so long, and it's cold, so let your sister-in-law and the others make some sweet soup to warm their bodies. Then they continue to cook, make their food first, and then talk about other things, what do you think."
Yao Jiati: "Mom, it's OK to do this, okay,,,,"
"Say something if you have something to do."
"Mom, why don't you do this? Come and ask Uncle Xingfu to come together and we will discuss and you will make sweet soup first."
"Okay, you go first, let's do it first, and your father will also say it."
"Li Niang, Jia Yu, Qi Niang, help me, you can also see what you need to do, Yue'er will go back to the house."
"Milk, what kind of sweet soup do you make?" Ning Yue looked up at her.
Zhong: "There are not many things at home, and my grandma thinks of eggs and glutinous rice balls."
Ning Yue was surprised: "We have glutinous rice flour at home?"
"Yes, but this thing is very expensive. Your milk said you can buy some steamed sugar cakes for the New Year." Li Niang said to Ning Yue.
The second uncle next to him went to get eggs and glutinous rice flour, Yao Jiayu was brushing the pot, and Li Niang added firewood to the two stoves at the same time.
After a while, Xiao Qiniang brought a cloth bag and opened it.
Ning Yue stretched out her head and saw that it was finely ground inside. This was the powder that was ground glutinous rice into fine powder. It was different from the powder that was ground into slurry after adding water to grind, precipitated, removed impurities and water, and dried after sun-dried.
The ground is not fine and white enough, and the precipitated one is fine and white.
Thinking of the guy from Zhongli, sweet soup made of eggs and glutinous rice flour is a rare food for farmers, and in the eyes of those great masters, it is coarse food.
After thinking about it, "Grandma, why not make it into a three-color sweet soup? Don't put malt sugar in it, but frosting sugar."
"Three colors, how to do it."
"Milk, second uncle, little girl, mama, look, we mash the old melon in the stone nest into melon paste and powder to make yellow, blood vegetables into purple, and the other white, isn't it three colors?"
"Hey, the little monster is smart."
"Second sister-in-law, you talked about her again." Yao Jiayu protected her shortcomings.
Li Niang asked: "Mom, what do you think?"
Zhong: "I haven't tried it, why don't we try it."
He made it as soon as he said he would make it. One person went to pick the melons and the other went to the vegetable field in the backyard to pick the bloody vegetables, and the other person cleaned the dishes and chopsticks.
The three of them made the same, and soon the three pottery basins were mixed into powder suitable for making meatballs.
In order to make the meatballs smooth and round, the three of them spent a lot of effort to knead the glutinous rice flour.
The water in the pot had already boiled. Zhong made Qin Wen alone, Yu Deli and Zhongli's meatballs, Yao Jiayu and Xiao Qiniang made other people's.
Making meatballs is just a dumpling. If you want the size of the meatballs, it is a one-person method. Although it is the first time, it is not difficult for people who are used to meals. As long as you use snacks, you will still be satisfied with the results.
During the process of cooking meatballs, add water once two minutes after the first water boils, so that the meatballs sink and float. Add water again after two minutes. This time, when the meatballs do not sink, it means that the things are cooked.
Scoop out the meatballs and use five pieces in each bowl as the same color, and finally add frosting sugar. The steaming three-color sweet soup is out of the pot, yellow, purple, white, beautiful and delicious.
Fortunately, Ning Yue bought a few more bowls last time, otherwise today I could only use the bowls that the Yao family usually eats to serve sweet soup.
The bowls and spoons were boiled in boiling water, and of course, the Zhongli and the others were separated.
In the main hall, Zhongli's stomach was really a little hungry. Not only him, but others were not much better.
From the morning to the Yao family and two hours now, anyone will be hungry.
When Zhong and his two wives walked into the house with wooden plates, everyone stopped at the same time and looked at the three of them.
Smelling the sweet fragrance, three-color meatballs, Qin Wen, Yu Deli, and Zhongli Feng Duozhiguang were surprised in an instant. Others felt that the Yao family was really worthy of being praised by the emperor, and it was different to make a sweet soup.
At present, there are people who practice this approach, but they will not be farmers like the Yao family.
At one time, everyone refreshed their views on the Yao family.
He raised his hand to take Zhong's bowl, and Zhongli nodded slightly. The white porcelain bowl contained three-color meatballs. Each meatball was the same size and the soup color was clear. If you taste it, it would be sweet but not greasy and would not stick to your teeth. It was heart-wrenching.
In fact, Zhongli doesn’t like to eat sweets. Now Ning Yue makes it. If you don’t eat it, the kitten will definitely expose his claws. Fortunately, it tastes good.
Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zheng and others who were sitting with Yao Chuangen saw the things in the bowl and wanted to say something. When they saw the person who was cooking, Yao Chuangen shook his head. Everyone also understood that the powerful family was concerned about eating without saying anything, and then they lowered their heads to eat, and they were hungry!
Outside, Wang Tao, aunt of the Tang family, aunt of the Zhong family and several other women came hurriedly. Each of them held a large wooden plate with eight large bowls on it, and each bowl was filled with three poached eggs. Because wild ginger was added, it had a faint spicy taste.
Wang Tao found Zhong: "Mom, we're done, you see."
Zhong quickly thanked Aunt Tang and others: "Fortunately, I'm sorry, old sisters, I'll have to trouble you later."
Several aunts smiled and said, "This is a great thing. We have a bright face. We have a look on our faces. If you say something, you will be unambiguous."
"Oh, you guys sit first, I'll go."
Zhong walked to find Yao Chuangen and said softly, but Yao Chuangen couldn't take any attention.
Yao Chuangen: "Or, let's ask Zhou Yan, we can't take our own decisions about this."
"Yes, ask Zhou Yan." Zhong turned around and walked out.
Zhou Yan was cold, hungry and unable to move at this time. When he saw Zhong coming, he walked aside and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
"Yanzi, we made some sweet soup to warm you all. Can you eat it?"
Zhou Yan: "What were the ones just now for us?"
"right."
"Thank you, aunt, to be honest, we are so hungry, I'll ask the adults."
Zhou Yan pulled his clothes and hat, looked up and walked into the lower body of the side house, and told him about this in the ear of the County Magistrate Liu.
Everyone in the house was drinking the three-color sweet soup. Zhou Yan said something very loud. Everyone in the house heard it. He didn't dare to pay attention. It was necessary to know that there were more than 20 imperial guards outside.
He had to look up at Qin Wen and look at Zhong Li in fact. Seeing that Zhong Li had no reaction, Qin Wen had to cough: "The master's intentions cannot be wasted. Eggs are expensive things. Let's eat them in batches! It's cold outside, so you must have a good body for protection. Everyone should stand in the shelter, go!"
"Yes, yes, thank you sir." Zhou Yan said hurriedly.
The imperial guards outside were the emperor's confidants. Qin Wen's one would not be able to sell well. In the future, they might have to rely on others at the critical moment in the palace. The great god didn't say anything about such things. Can he, a eunuch, say something that is not in accordance with the rules?
So, Zhou Yan called two yamen runners and Zhong to help bring the poached eggs and put them in the main room of Yao Jiazhong's house, and asked the imperial guards to eat first.
The person he brought was named Peng, and he was the deputy commander in front of the emperor. Qin Wen's voice was very loud and it was impossible for those who practice martial arts to hear it.
Knowing Qin Wen's show of kindness, Peng Yiwei's tough face was soft and he was not a person who was not familiar with human relationships. He recognized this. Even if he didn't do it for himself, he had to think about the brothers around him, and everyone was flesh and blood.
Peng Yiwei clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, sir." He cherishes his words like gold.
Turning around: "As long as you drink, eat, and don't have a single pill left." The order was too far away.
