Chapter 328 Why did you come here?
Before seven days had passed, Huo Xi couldn't resist entering the kang room.
Throwing away the thick straw, the tops of the basins and buckets crystallized, like a thick layer of ice frozen over the river.
Huo Xi pressed it with his hand, it was firm. I was overjoyed. Press it hard again, and there is a creaking sound, it seems that the sugar liquid underneath is not frozen yet. The sugar liquid has not yet fully crystallized.
Then he lifted up the cotton thread hanging from the branch above the barrel, but he couldn’t lift it, and the crystallized porcelain was solid.
It took a lot of effort to pull it out, and I saw a thick layer around the cotton thread. The lump of sugar on the top was the largest, and it became smaller as it went down. It was crystal clear and pleasing to the eye.
Looking into the raised pit, you can still see the sugar liquid under the bucket, which is in the form of water. It seems that you have to wait for another two days.
Break off a piece of rock sugar from the cotton thread and put it in your mouth.
Well, this is the taste.
The taste of old rock sugar. Huo Xi held it in his mouth, chewed it, narrowed his eyes, and was happy in his heart.
"What is this?"
Huo Xi was so startled that the long string of rock candies in his hand almost fell out of his hands.
Turn your head and look, Young Master Mu!
"Why are you here?" This guy is not waiting in front of the palace, but came all the way to Jiangjun Mountain?
Mu Yan ignored it and asked again: "What is this?"
"Try it?" Huo Xi handed him the rock sugar that was knotted on the string.
He glanced at Huo Xi suspiciously.
"Not poisonous, good stuff."
Mu Yan glanced at her, did he mean that?
Looking at the string of ice-like things. Crystal clear, like frozen ice. I broke off a small piece and put it in my mouth... my eyes lit up.
It doesn’t count if you make sugar as white as snow, but you make sugar like ice? How did you learn it?
"How?" Huo Xi asked him a little proudly, but also nervously.
Mu Yan glanced at her, said faintly: "Shang Ke", and cast his eyes on the two basins and buckets on the kang bed.
Huo Xi pursed his lips, what is Shang Ke, who speaks well, will choke his throat? whispering sound.
Knock down a few pieces of rock sugar, and hang the cotton thread in his hand back into the bucket. Mu Yan followed with his eyes, "Make a sugar solution and make a kang bed? That's it."
"Why, you want to peek into my secret?" Huo Xi glared at him, "This is the money I need to go to sea next year, don't worry about it."
Mu Yan followed her outside. The kang room was very stuffy, and the whole body felt hot after staying for a long time.
Out of the house, distributed rock sugar to Huo Erhuai and others who were waiting outside, and ordered Zuo Shi to go in and mop the floor.
Zuo Shi and others agreed. Yang shi took a piece of rock candy, her eyes were amazingly bright: "Xi'er, is this the rock sugar we made?"
Huo Xi nodded: "We have to wait another two days. The crystallization is not very good now."
Huo Erhuai and the others were pleasantly surprised after eating the rock candy. They made this ice-like candy. There is nothing in the country.
"Xi'er, this candy doesn't choke your throat, it's delicious."
Huo Xi nodded: "The rock sugar made by this local method clears away heat, nourishes the lungs and relieves cough. It can be soaked in water with chrysanthemum, wolfberry and red dates, etc., or it can be steamed with pears to clear the lungs and relieve cough. It can also be made into soup Dishes, let’s get them out in two days, and I’ll teach you to try them one by one.”
"Okay, okay." Hearing that it has so many effects, everyone nodded repeatedly. This is a good thing.
"Xi'er, is it successful now? Shall we start brewing?"
Huo Xi nodded: "Okay, then Dad will bring Uncle Bao and the others to boil the sugar out."
"Hey, Dad knows!"
Mu Yan heard that the rock sugar can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, which has many effects. His eyes flashed, and he looked sharply at Ji Laozhuang.
Kilaozhuang froze all over.
Avoiding people and following Mu Yan to the hiding place: "Master." She didn't dare to look at him.
Mu Yan stared at him for a while: "You should know that this matter is serious, if there is any news leaked..."
Before the cold and emotionless words were finished, Ji Laozhuang knelt down with a plop: "Don't worry, young master, my family will keep our mouths shut and will not do such things as betraying the master. The people and slaves in the village will also keep an eye on them." .We will not let them leak the news and do things that betray the Lord’s family.”
Mu Yan beat him a bit before letting him go.
During the day, Huo Xi was busy teaching everyone to cook sugar and test the temperature, so he didn't pay much attention to Mu Yan's actions.
asked Ji Laozhuang. Ji Laozhuang said that he went to see Old Hou Ye.
Huo Xi didn't realize it for a while, there is an old master living nearby? What character? Soon he woke up, it turned out that he had gone to the Mu family's ancestral grave to pay homage to his grandfather.
Busily clasped his hands together and charged him with a crime.
Old Lord Mu, I will make more candy in the future and have someone supply it to you, but please bless my success in getting rich and don’t let Xiao Xiaopao make trouble.
Mu Yan, a noble son from the Hou family, came to the village. Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai knew his status, so they ordered someone to cook a table of hearty meals.
Huo Xi originally wanted to ask him if he wanted to eat together, but seeing that he was staying behind closed doors, he had no choice but to forget it.
"As long as the young master is in a bad mood, he will come to see the old master and talk to the old master at the graveyard." Ji Laozhuang explained to Huo Xi.
In the past, the young master was loved by the old Hou Ye, but now the old Hou Ye and his stepfather are gone, the stepmother is separated by a layer, and the biological parents can’t get close because of the missing years.
Kilaozhuang shook his head and sighed.
These old people are left by the old master to the young master. I thought that the title of Marquis of Xiping would be left to the young master, but who would have thought that the former emperor would be handed over to the young master's biological father...
Huo Xi understood after listening to Ji Laozhuang's explanation.
Suddenly felt a little depressed, she also wanted to take Nian'er to the Zhang family's ancestral grave to see her mother and talk to her. Only Mu Yan can come and go freely, but she and Nian'er dare not go there.
After dinner, I heard that Mu Yan is still in the village, but Huo Xi didn't care. He is in a bad mood, so he came to see his grandfather, this is his family's Zhuangzi, can he drive him away?
After eating in the Zhuangzi, just about to go back to the house, he was suddenly swept up by a strong force, and his feet left the ground.
Shouted again and again in fright.
"Shut up."
Huo Xi turned his head and saw that it was Mu Yan, he quickly swallowed the shock in his mouth, and looked down, mother, this is really capable of flying over walls.
With a whoosh, he was on the roof.
When I came back to my senses, I suddenly wanted to do it again, which was quite exciting. Look at each other.
Mu Yan thought she was naive and didn't look at her. He lifted her up to the roof and sat down on the ridge, looking far away.
Huo Xi supported his shoulders, and sat next to him tremblingly. He didn't dare to let go, and only gently tugged at the hem of his clothes.
His eyes were also on Zhuangzi.
Tonight is the night of the full moon, the moonlight is as bright as water, and the nearby yards, trees, and crop fields in the distance are all faintly visible. Huo Xi felt that this feeling was very novel.
"What's over there, you keep staring at it?" Seeing him staring at something, Huo Xi asked curiously.
I don’t know how everyone copied the names of the book friends. I looked at the background of the mobile phone and typed them out one by one on the computer. Some book friends have an asterisk in the middle of their names, and I don’t know if it’s because of blocking or some other reason, so I can only follow the asterisk.
There is a limit on the number of words in the words of a writer, and it is impossible to type so many names. Thank you for voting for recommendations and comparisons, comments, and friends who have been helping to catch bugs. I have seen your names in the background. Thank you very much. Love you guys.
