Chapter 461 Escape
No need to put extra things, just add a little rock sugar when cooking, and you can get a pot of extremely sweet rock sugar water chestnuts.
The cooked water chestnuts still taste extremely crisp and refreshing, making a crunching sound in the mouth, which is very comfortable to relieve stress.
Water chestnuts have a slightly sweet taste. With the addition of rock sugar, the sweetness becomes even more lingering around the mouth, leaving a faint sweet taste.
The aftertaste of cooked water chestnuts is a bit like sugar cane mixed with sweet reed root and corn silk, which is slightly mellow and very unique.
Xia Mingyue liked this taste so much that she would cook a small pot of it every morning and enjoy it to her heart's content.
In addition to making sweet soup, water chestnuts can also be used in dishes.
After peeling, use the whole as a garnish for hot pot. Whether it is the clear soup base of copper pot shabu-shabu or the spicy pot base of Sichuan hot pot, water chestnuts can be fully integrated into it and retain their own sweet and delicious taste. , extremely delicious.
The lion head is minced and made together with the meat filling. It has a unique crispy texture, which fully eliminates the greasy feeling that large lion heads tend to have, enhances the flavor and freshness, and is delicious. …
After enjoying the delicious water chestnuts during the day, at night, Xia Mingyue lit a few candles and illuminated the bedside brightly. She leaned on the soft pillow and happily read the storybook sent by Shen Shujun.
Just like the previous "Mother of the House", it is a refreshing story about revenge and a slap in the face. The difference is that this time the heroine is not an ordinary woman from a wealthy family, but the daughter of an official.
It is still the plot of dealing with a scumbag, but everything happened before the daughter of the rich girl suddenly woke up, threw away the disgusting dog-skin plaster, opened her eyes, and sought the destination of her true husband...
< br>Xia Mingyue read the storybook with gusto, and even marveled at the wonderful parts.
After staying up late for several days, Xia Mingyue finally finished reading the entire storybook, but she still felt a little unfinished, so she just opened it again...
Therefore, even if Xia Mingyue worked hard every day, He had to control the time he stayed up late every day, but there was still a dark blue under his eyes.
Seeing this, Xia Mingyue decided to go out for a walk during the day to speed up the body's metabolism and alleviate the damage to her eyesight.
I just happened to take a stroll to see if there are any rare objects and food available recently.
It is the twelfth lunar month, and the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger. Many farmers have begun to go to the city to buy new year goods, buy fabrics to make new New Year clothes, and prepare for the New Year. Therefore, the county town is very lively at this time.
Many stalls on the street have also begun selling couplets, window grilles, New Year paintings, red lanterns and other items, which look very festive from a distance.
But there are also many people in rags on the street, carrying children and children, with large and small packages. Some are taking a rest on the street, or some people simply put out rough porcelain with many gaps. Take advantage of the crowded streets to beg.
Xia Mingyue frowned slightly when she saw this, and took advantage of the chat with Butcher Hong to ask a question.
Seeing that Xia Mingyue had doubts, Butcher Hong smiled and said, "It seems like Commander Rilu has not sent a message back to Madam Xia during this period, probably because he is afraid that Madam Xia will be worried."
"What do you say?" Xia Mingyue's brows furrowed a little deeper.
“But I’ve also heard, but it’s not necessarily accurate, that there’s going to be another war!” Butcher Hong said, “Didn’t it snow heavily some time ago? It’s nothing here, but it’s outside the customs. Over there, there was heavy snowfall after heavy snowfall, and many livestock and people froze to death, so that Jin Weiguo was now full of public dissatisfaction and very unstable."
"Jin Weiguo began to attack villages and towns near the border. There were a lot of troubles caused by the robbery of property and food. I also heard that because Changzhou Fucheng was originally an important place for Jin Weiguo, Jin Weiguo has been holding a grudge and thinking about it since our Great Zhou Kingdom captured Changzhou Fucheng. Let’s fight again, maybe this time we will take advantage of the people’s anger to fight another battle!”
"The villagers of David who were originally harassed by the Jinwei army began to flee their homes and flee for their lives. Now that they heard about the war, many people are fleeing north and east. Our Jinqiu County is quite close to Changzhou City, so naturally There are more people fleeing the famine."
"That's it." Xia Mingyue suddenly realized, feeling worried in her heart. There is another war.
I don’t know how Lu Qiyan and An Yunji are doing now.
Just when Xia Mingyue was lost in thought, soft and cold fingers touched her cheek.
Xia Mingyue came back to her senses and saw the daughter in Butcher Hong's arms reaching out to touch her cheek. Seeing Xia Mingyue raise her head, she suddenly smiled.
It was originally a raw pink jade carving, and it became chubby after eating, making it more round and cute. Now it was grinning, and it was exactly the same as the doll holding a koi in the New Year painting.
Seeing this, Xia Mingyue's heart softened and she reached out to touch her little head.
The little baby smiled more and more without blinking an eye, and even stretched out a pair of chubby little hands, wanting Xia Mingyue to hug it.
Faced with the offer of love, Xia Mingyue did not refuse.
On the contrary, Butcher Hong hurriedly stopped him, "This girl eats a lot and is very heavy. I'm afraid Madam Xia won't be able to carry her!"
The little baby obviously understood this sentence and was very dissatisfied with his biological father. When he said she was fat, not only did her face wrinkle into a bun, but she even let out an angry "hum" and turned away angrily.
“Yes, you are quite angry.” Butcher Hong was speechless.
Xia Mingyue teased, "Isn't that what Brother Hong is used to?"
When Butcher Hong's wife was pregnant, Butcher Hong had been looking forward to having a little cotton-padded jacket, and later he got it. What I wish for is simply regarded as a treasure.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is afraid of falling if he holds it in his hands, and he is afraid of melting when he holds it in his mouth. On weekdays, he takes care of it at most. But six months after the beating, Butcher Hong has been holding it all day long, not wanting to let go for even a moment.
Just like just now, Butcher Hong said that his daughter was a bit heavy and he was afraid that Xia Mingyue wouldn't be able to hold her. But in fact, he was afraid that others would make her uncomfortable, or if she was bumped or dropped, he would be heartbroken.
“My daughter naturally has to be in pain.” Butcher Hong smiled.
The girl doll was obviously not happy because of these words. Instead, she stretched out her hand to pull out the beard on Butcher Hong’s chin, causing him to grin and beg for mercy.
Father and daughter were playing together, Xia Mingyue didn't bother them too much, opened her mouth to say goodbye and left.
Seeing that there was no one else around, the female doll struck harder. The pain almost made Butcher Hong shed tears, "Little ancestor, this is a growth in the flesh, it hurts so much when you pull it out!"
Seeing it The other party was unmoved, so Butcher Hong began to tempt her with food, "How about this, daddy, get you a candy bar to eat?"
The girl did not answer, but stretched out her hand to grab it.
One!
“Don’t eat caramel, eat osmanthus cake and chestnut cake!”
Two!
