Chapter 88 Ice Porridge
This is the truth.
Wu Xiong himself knew that he had already reached the age of marriage.
But...
Is it because he doesn’t want to get married yet?
It's just that there are no people he likes, and there are those who don't like him.
This is an unpleasant topic. After Wu Xiong was silent for a moment, he said, "What is it? Hurry up, the ice cubes will melt if you wait any longer!"
The younger brother quickened the pace, but felt a little aggrieved.
He thought, he didn't say anything wrong...
Xia Mingyue was also shocked when the watermelons, peaches and ice cubes were delivered to Xia Mingyue's home.
She really didn't expect that Aunt Han would actually keep her word and actually ask Wu Xiong to send these things. What Xia Mingyue didn't expect was that Wu Xiong actually sent so many.
Two large baskets of watermelons, containing about a dozen, and one large basket of peaches, weighing ten to twenty kilograms.
And that ice cube is enough for two large cars.
"There are too many of these..." Xia Mingyue asked Wu Xiong to pull the things back some more.
"I still think it's a little short." When Wu Xiong spoke, he grinned and tried to keep the curvature of the corners of his mouth as usual during practice to make himself look kinder. "After Mrs. Xia finishes eating these, follow me Say it and I’ll send you some more.”
When he said this, Wu Xiong looked specifically at the Jiangzhuguo where the watermelons and peaches were stored.
Jiang Zhuguo didn’t seem to show fear this time.
It shows that he has been practicing well during this period!
Wu Xiong’s face was full of joy and he smiled wider.
A full beard with such a smile...
A little bit more honest and honest for no reason?
Xia Mingyue couldn't help but laugh at Wu Xiong's slightly funny smile, "It's quite a lot. If you take more, you won't be able to eat it all. Brother Wu, please don't give it to me again, otherwise I'll be afraid." There is no place to put it.”
“Then let’s listen to Madam Xia first.”
Wu Xiong agreed and will send some extra later. OK.
After everything was put away, Wu Xiong and others left without staying too long.
Xia Mingyue was thinking about how to deal with so many things.
I opened one watermelon first, washed some peaches, and ate them with the Lu family.
The watermelon is sweet, the peach is soft and glutinous, and each one is full of juice, so that when you eat it, the juice flows everywhere and your hands and cheeks are dirty.
Fetching water to wash, Xia Mingyue washed some peaches, peeled and cored them, cut them into pieces and mashed them into puree.
Boil it with rice milk to make peach-flavored rice milk, then follow the steps of making cold shrimp, and successfully make peach-flavored cold shrimp.
The cold shrimp is already chewy and refreshing, and when paired with brown sugar water, it is sweet and delicious. Now with the addition of peach pulp, the peach flavor is full in one bite and has a unique flavor.
With ice cubes, watermelon and a lot of peaches, Xia Mingyue began to think about a new magic weapon to relieve the heat - ice porridge.
Use a knife to chop the ice cubes into fine ice particles, pour some glutinous syrup on it, add some watermelon chunks, peach flesh, and some springy and refreshing cold shrimp, scoop it on A little ice powder...
This sip of ice is very cold, and the coolness comes from the mouth and directly into the stomach, feeling comfortable all over. And the second and third bites that followed...
The coolness gradually rose from the belly and swept through the whole body. The sultry heat of summer was completely gone. The whole body was cool, and it went straight to the sky.
Comfortable!
“It’s really comfortable to eat ice in this hot summer.” Jiang Zhuguo sighed repeatedly.
"It's a pity that I don't have this skill. If I could directly cut the ice into a bowl-like shape with my hands, put only the cheese in it, and garnish it with some seasonal fruits, it would be called an ice bowl. It tastes good.” It will be better.”
Only then can I afford the name Bingzhou.
“This is delicious enough.” Lu’s mouth was full of ice porridge, and her speech was a little slurred.
If more things were added, she could not imagine how delicious it would be.
"Yes, yes." Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu, as well as Mr. Zhou who was doing the work, all echoed.
They have eaten a lot of delicious food with Aunt Xia this year, which they have never tasted before, and they are very satisfied.
People are contented and happy!
While a few people were talking and laughing, there was a sound outside.
"Is Mrs. Xia at home?"
Jiang Zhuguo hurried to the door. Seeing that the person coming was He Shunzi, he shouted inside, "Sister Xia, this is Brother He."< br>
"Brother He, why are you here at this time?" Xia Mingyue was a little surprised.
It was already dark now, and even Mrs. Zhou had finished her work and was ready to go home.
He Shunzi came at this time...
“I don’t know what to say about this matter.” He Shunzi scratched the back of his head with some annoyance, “Didn’t I mention it to Lady Xia before? I have an errand, which is actually to deliver fresh vegetables and eggs to a village, and occasionally some live chickens and ducks.” I attach great importance to it, and whenever I get any rare food from Lady Xia, I often send it to the village to show my respect to the steward, the kitchen and the servants in charge. "
" From Lady Xia this morning. I also sent the ice powder I got here as usual so that the steward and the staff could try it. But in the afternoon, the waiter in the kitchen specially asked me to find out how to make the ice powder. "< br>
"I was a little confused at the time. I just said that making ice powder is not easy to get, nor is it easy to make, and it is a craft that others have done at the bottom of the box. It is probably impossible to get this method. The cook in the kitchen said that during this period Can you send some every day?”
“I’m afraid that if this thing doesn’t work well it will affect my business of serving food, so I won’t. If you dare to neglect, come and find Madam Xia quickly. See if you can leave some of the ice powder that Madam Xia makes for me.”
“I will also help Madam Xia look for a little girl during this time. The fruit for the lantern, and some money for Mrs. Shangxia..."
As he spoke, He Shunzi picked up the money bag.
"If Brother He can help me find more of these fruits, I don't need to give you any money." Xia Mingyue said.
The fake physalis seeds given earlier can also be used to make a lot of ice powder. He Shunzi doesn't need much every day. She cooks most of them and eats them herself, so she doesn't suffer any loss.
"I still have to give it. This is the money provided by Zhuangzi. If I get it all, what will happen?"
He Shunzi lowered his voice even more as he spoke, "And this Zhuangzi suddenly wants this recipe for ice powder. I was thinking about it. It was Zhuangzi’s master who tasted the ice powder and thought it tasted good. The servants were looking for it in a panic, but they didn’t dare to tell the master that they didn’t know how to make it, so they asked me to send it over one day.”
