Chapter 268 Milk Film
She wanted to ride in a carriage, but she couldn't buy a good horse for a while, but she wanted to ride a donkey, which was easy, and the next day a family in Changqing Village next door gave her one as a gift. Donkey Lai is six years old this year and is mature and strong.
Pomegranate looked at the donkey’s face and couldn’t help but want to laugh. She immediately bought the donkey with some money, led it for a walk on the village road twice, and then tried to ride on it.
This donkey is docile and obedient. The main thing is that it is short, so it is not difficult for her to get on it.
But within one afternoon, Pomegranate was riding smoothly.
Not to mention, riding a donkey felt good, so she decided to ride a donkey when she returned to the city.
At this moment, Pomegranate turned the donkey's head and was about to ride it home. Li Rongzhang, who had just finished school, came back with his friends from the village. He saw his second sister riding the donkey and ran to catch up with him excitedly.
The children who were with him were also fascinated by it. Pomegranate had ridden enough for an afternoon, so he smiled and let them all have a ride.
There are so many people that one person cannot ride for a while, but this is enough to make them excited.
Knowing that the second sister bought the donkey, Li Rongzhang was not in a hurry to snatch it from everyone. He just waited for them to ride it first, and then he rode it home.
At this moment, I was watching them ride, while talking to the second sister, "Fan Qing and the others are leaving for Fucheng early tomorrow morning. The government has tried it, and they are serious children!"
< br>Pomegranate saw the envious look on his face and couldn't help but said: "Tongsheng is considered to be an entry-level student in the imperial examination. It's the easiest. All you need to do is memorize the book." , Most of them are not difficult. You have only been in school for a little more than a year. Don’t rush. Take your time and work steadily. Even if you are a child, you can’t prove anything.”
Just look at Sun Wenming in the village. You know, I won the Tongsheng test, but I failed in the college entrance exam that year. I also persisted in taking the test last year, but I still failed in the exam.
It’s not just a matter of passing the imperial examination for children. How many people are still just children from adolescence to sixty.
Pomegranate still thinks that my little brother can concentrate on accumulating knowledge, lay a good foundation, accumulate knowledge, and accumulate knowledge, how good will it be when the time comes?
Like Sun Wenming, who failed the test again and again, it actually hurts his self-confidence.
Li Rongzhang listened and nodded, "I know, second sister! Fan Qing and others have been studying for several years. Although I am not far behind Fan Qing in the monthly exam, I am one of them. It takes a lot of effort to overcome the difference. Besides, I can’t write well at all, and I’m far from being able to take the childbirth exam!”
Pomegranate couldn’t help but feel happy when she saw that although he was envious, he also knew his abilities. “Second sister will go to town later and buy you some more copybooks. You need to practice this calligraphy well.”
Li Rongzhang nodded to express his understanding. He was determined to copy the copybook and write a few large-character articles every day.
“By the way, Senior Brother Fan Jin picked the word. He chose it himself. I heard him say that the name was unlucky and he picked the word to make up the name. Anyway, Senior Brother Fan Jin sometimes talks so interestingly that he often calls I don’t understand!”
Because Fan Jin always played with him in school and talked about things, in Li Rongzhang's heart, Fan Jin was also his best friend in school, so he always talked about it when he came back.
Pomegranate raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Then what word did he choose?"
Li Rongzhang said: "Hong Zai, Xu is from the Book of Changes, which contains Hong Guangda and Huude. "Ziwu?"
Pomegranate was stunned, thinking of something, and couldn't help laughing.
Fan Jin, there is nothing wrong with his name, but it sounds the same as Fan Jin, and he is going to take the imperial examination, isn't it unlucky?
As people of later generations, everyone has basically heard that Fan Jin passed the exam, but it took him decades to pass the exam.
This Fan Jin is really interesting. She chose such a name for herself. She remembers it well. In history, the only person in the Ming Dynasty who was ranked third in the Shang Dynasty was named Hongzai. He was a young genius. In the Yuan Dynasty, he was still the chief minister of the cabinet. After three dynasties, he was called the "Prime Minister of the Three Dynasties" by the people. After his death, he was posthumously named Taifu.
This is indeed the most powerful person in the imperial examination.
Well, the name is not auspicious, so I chose the word to make it up. This "fellow" is also determined to take the imperial examination.
Pfft. As a fellow villager, she naturally wished him good luck.
Therefore, she specifically asked people to pay more attention to the government examination so that she could know the results as soon as they came out.
The new workshop in Xianggupo is busy in full swing. Seeing that it is about to be completed, Pomegranate is not idle either.
On this day, Pomegranate received the goat's milk and made milk powder first, then added water to the milk powder and stirred it. There should not be too much water. Stir the milk powder until small milk lumps the size of millet grains appear. It should not be too wet. It is easy. Dip the mold.
The molds are made by carpentry workshops. They come in different styles, including round, square, flower-shaped, small animal-shaped, and triangular. The shapes are different, but all of them are The two characters Li Ji are engraved.
We first made a few sets of each, and now we have assigned people who are busy working to make this mold.
Put the stirred milk powder into the mold, and then use a small hammer to press it into shape. The milk slices taken out are still soft, and of course they are not ready yet, so they put clean oil paper on them and spread them on the stove. Bake for a quarter of an hour and let cool.
After the milk slices were prepared, Pomegranate immediately gave some to the Sanni sisters, and also left some for the younger brother, as well as Old Yuan and the others, so they could all eat and play.
Brother Shou is still young, so it’s better not to give him food for the time being. Instead, he gave some to the great uncle and the patriarch’s family.
The Song family knew that this was candy made from goat's milk, and they were very surprised. They had never seen such candy before, and it was so milky and fragrant. It was really surprising.
The smell of milk and the sweet milk flavor in your mouth are so intoxicating that children like Lao Yuan and Sanni like it very much.
The remaining pomegranate was wrapped up, and the next day she rode on her donkey to Luoshui City.
She had inquired in advance with the manager who came to buy the goods, and knew that Liu Dong's family would be in Luoshui City in the past two days, so she asked someone to bring a message and asked Liu Dong's family to meet at Wuming Tower today.
The feeling of riding a donkey is still different than riding in a mule cart. The wind blows on your face and the field of vision is very wide.
It was comfortable, but she, a young girl riding on a donkey, attracted attention. After the strong wind, Pomegranate retracted back to the mule cart, and the donkey was led by Hu Zhen and the others. .
She still has no interest in being treated like a monkey.
After entering Luoshui City, we went straight to Wuming Tower.
Liu Dongjia was counting the time and had just arrived. When they saw Pomegranate, they exchanged pleasantries and talked about how popular the new chess toys from Tongwanzhai were in the capital and other places.
“You don’t know that the two children’s play studios in the capital are short of supply. Most of the people buying chess this time are young men from each family, as well as many military generals and ministers!”
That military chess game is really interesting. Even though he is so busy now, he can't help but find time to play two games a day. The more he plays, the more interesting it becomes.
The more Liu Dongjia looked at her, the more he felt that this girl Shiliu was really good. If the eldest son hadn't already gotten married, and the second son was not the right age, he really wanted Shiliu as his daughter-in-law.
He doesn’t think so highly of people with bad family backgrounds. People with good family backgrounds don’t have the calmness and intelligence of Pomegranate.
It's a pity after all, but it doesn't matter. It's good that he can cooperate with Pomegranate for a long time. In short, he is committed to this little friend.
Remembering that something almost happened to Pomegranate at the Liu family's last birthday party, the Liu family had to tell Pomegranate about the niece's situation at Qingxin Temple.
Pomegranate listened one by one and had a good conversation with Liu Dongjia.
