After the rebirth, I was held in my heart by the natural enemy

Chapter 18 Rosemary Sauce and Pine Nut Candies

Xuan Muzhi took it with some surprise, "This dress...is it a bit too big?"

You don't need to wear it at all, Xuan Muzhi can feel bigger just by looking at it.

"Guest, children grow up fast. If you buy clothes that fit you, I'm afraid they will become shorter and tighter after a while. Look..."

Xuan Muzhi understood.

The buddy has good intentions. If you buy bigger clothes, you can wear them for a longer period of time, especially for people like Brother Xuan who know that the conditions are not very good at first glance, and they probably don't have much money to buy clothes.

You know, cloth and clothes are not too cheap.

"Thank you for your kindness, let's take something that fits better."

"Okay." The man was taken aback for a moment, but quickly changed into a few clothes, which were a little smaller than before.

"Can I try it on?"

"This..." The man was dumbfounded.Most of the people who come to buy clothes compare and compare, and there are really few who ask to try them on first.

"Brother, you see that there is no one else here, let my younger brother try it, if it fits, I will buy it, if it doesn't fit, we can't wear it, right?" Xuan Muzhi said with a slight smile.

"Okay, if you don't buy it, don't get it dirty." The guy was a little reluctant, but fortunately the two sets of clothes were not very expensive, and even though the old and young people in front of him were dressed in shabby clothes, they clean.

While Xuanxuan went to try on clothes, Xuan Muzhi looked at the fabric again, and asked if he could sew quilts for him. Xuan Muzhi directly ordered a mattress and a quilt.

The guy happily took the deposit.Even if the child's clothes can't be sold, it's not a loss today.

Xuan Xuan quickly changed his clothes and came out. Wearing new clothes, the little guy was a little shy and walked out with his head down.

"Let me take a look." Xuan Muzhi raised Xuan Xuan's head with a smile, and looked him up and down, "It's not bad. I want this dress, is there anything similar to this one?"

"Yes." The man picked out two more, "Do you think these two are okay?"

"Okay!" Xuan Muzhi made two gestures on his younger brother and bought it.

Xuan Xuan had three pieces of clothing, Xuan Muzhi chose two at random, and added a set of quilts, which cost Xuan Muzhi three silver coins, and the other three silver coins had to be paid after the bedding was delivered, which was really not cheap .It is said that the weaving technology here is entirely manual, so it is relatively expensive, and the materials selected by Xuan Muzhi are considered good, so they spent so much money.

Seeing that Xuan Muzhi bought a lot of things, the buddy gave them a few small bags. The material is good, and they are all very good fabrics, but they are leftovers that cannot be reused.

They didn't let Xuanxuan change back to the previous clothes, children, wearing new clothes is the happiest thing.Moreover, these clothes are different from the clothes on the earth. They will not go through too many hands during the production process, and there will be no residues such as formaldehyde. It is not a big problem to wear them directly to go home.

"Brother..." Xuanxuan tugged at Xuan Muzhi's clothes. He felt that these clothes were too expensive. With so many silver coins, he didn't know how long his brother would have to work to earn them.

Although Xuan Muzhi already had two gold coins in his hand, considering the security issue, he never mentioned it to anyone, not even Xuan Xuan.Xuanxuan's impression is that his family's income is one silver coin a day these days, so seeing that he spent so much money, his face turned pale.

"Tell brother, do you like this dress?"

Xuanxuan nodded, children will not lie.

"Then wear it. My brother will not only let you eat and dress well, but also let you go to school." Xuan Muzhi patted Xuanxuan's little face and laughed, "Let's go, let's buy some beans and go home."

When he came out, Xuan Muzhi took a special look at the beans at home.Recently, I was making dim sum and sprouting bean sprouts. Mung beans are used up quickly, but I just bought ten catties of mung beans two days ago, and there are still quite a few.What wasn't there were several other types of beans.

Xuan Muzhi planned to buy some red beans and some brown sugar to go home and study new dim sum.

Although Xi's family gave him a lot of sweets, Xuan Muzhi had already looked at those sweets carefully when he got home.

There is the best hoarfrost, the best ice, and a lot of honey.There are also some dried fruits, which are relatively rare here, such as pine nuts, almonds, and a small jar of dried osmanthus.On the contrary, the slightly cheaper red sand is less. Xuan Muzhong used some red sand when making braised pork at noon, and needs to replenish some more at this time.

I bought two catties of red sand, two catties of maltose, and ten catties of red beans, and the two silver coins were used up again. Not only did Xiao Xuanxuan feel pain in the flesh, Xuan Muzhi also felt a little pain in the flesh.

The price here is too expensive. If he can get improved tools for producing sugar and boiling sugar, maybe the price of sugar can be lowered, which can be considered as an indirect good deed.

Xuan Muzhi has been busy with his work since he returned, and by the way, he also arranged some work for Uncle Wu, asking him to help make a small stone mill for grinding soybeans to make soy milk.

Xuan Muzhi didn't mean to be difficult, but asked Uncle Wu if there was anyone nearby who could make such a small stone mill, and Uncle Wu said that he could do it himself.

A very smooth and hard stone is produced on the nearby mountain, but it is not very big. It is impossible to make a large stone mill, but if it is the size that Xuan Muzhi gestured, there is no problem at all. No.

After Uncle Wu took this matter to himself, Xuan Muzhi was completely relieved.In his heart, Uncle Wu is very reliable.

In the afternoon, Xuan Muzhi soaked the red beans, gathered the roses brought back yesterday into a small basin, washed his hands carefully with hot water, and rubbed the petals with white sugar.

Xuan Muzhi once saw his mother making rose jam, which was picked by his mother and others in a edible rose garden.After I came back, I pickled several jars of rose sauce, and picked a few flowers to make a glass of rose water. The taste can be said to be fragrant and sweet.

In the following year, the scent of roses often wafted in their house, and even the two brothers were often held by their mother for a few drinks.After drinking it for a long time, some classmates even said that he has a scent of roses on him, and some girls came to ask him what brand of perfume he used.

The Xuan family brothers were originally dependent on each other. In recent days, Xuan Muzhi has been shining brightly, and Xuan Xuan's dependence on him has obviously increased again. Now seeing his brother playing with petals, the little guy also moved a small bench to watch the fun.

Xuanxuan didn't know that flower petals could be eaten before. Although he had heard that the nobles in the western region often used flower petals to make tea, he had never heard of it.But seeing his brother put the frosting sugar in one by one like this, Xuanxuan felt his little heart throbbing in pain.

"Brother, do you really need to put so much sugar?" Xuan Xuan looked at it pitifully.

The Baishuang and Ningbing candies brought back from Xi's house that day were of the highest grade, each in a large jar, weighing two or three catties, and they were all packed in the jar.Now seeing Xuan Muzhi use it up in handfuls, seeing that the sugar in the jar has bottomed out, my little heart is trembling.

"This is barely enough." Xuan Muzhi sighed.

To make rose sauce, you must put enough sugar, and the sugar should be several times that of rose petals, otherwise the taste will not be good, and it will easily deteriorate.

This catty of roses used up most of the icing sugar in the house today, and he made an appointment with Ah Yi to ask for roses in the garden, not just one or two roses, even if they are pure petals, It is estimated that it must weigh three or four catties.

It seems that tomorrow I will either go to buy candy, or I will get other candies.In fact, brown sugar is also acceptable, and it is more nutritious, but in terms of taste and clarity, Xuan Muzhi still prefers white frost.As for rock candy, the price is even more expensive, and Xuan Muzhi is reluctant to part with it.

After repeated kneading several times, there was only one bottom left of the icing sugar in the jar, and the hearts of the two brothers were bleeding.

There were no sealed things in ancient times, at least Xuan Muzhi couldn't find anything usable, so he could only put the crushed rose petals into a hot and dry jar, pour some honey on it, and then try to seal the jar as much as possible to wait for the roses to bloom fermentation.

The fermentation time will last for about a week. Whether it will be successful or not, we can only wait quietly.

After the rose sauce was ready, Xuan Muzhi saw that it was still early and it was not time to make dinner, so he took out the newly bought maltose and boiled it in the pot.

Rose jam is not available for the time being, but it is still possible to make some pine nut candies. Now he has both maltose and pine nuts.It would be best if you could exchange some sugar from Xi’s, but if you couldn’t, it wouldn’t be a loss, anyway, maltose was the cheapest compared to other candies, and the pine nuts were also from Xi’s.If the young master of Xi's family doesn't like to eat it, then leave it for Xuanxuan as a snack.

Compared with rose sauce, pine nut sugar is very simple.Those pine nuts are all fried, carefully knocked open and peeled out the nuts inside for later use, heat the maltose in the pot and then simmer it over low heat to thicken, then put the pine nuts in, wait for the maltose to cool slightly and get it out of the pot Take it out, put it on a smooth stone that has been cleaned in advance, and slowly rub it into long strips while cooling.

Xuan Muzhi didn't put many pine nuts in it.First, he doesn't have many of these things in his hand, and second, if he puts too much of it, it won't look precious.

While the candy bar is not completely cooled, use a small bamboo knife to cut the candy bar into small pieces.

Xuan Muzhi ate this thing when he was a child. His grandma’s home is in Suzhou. There are a lot of this kind of candy in the local area. Each of them is small triangle shape, like a pocket-sized zongzi, so it is also called zongzi candy.

Zongzi candy has this kind of loose seeds called pine zizi candy, and there are also roses, called rose zongzi candy, with many flavors.

After cutting, the pine nut candies are completely cooled and become more brittle.Xuan Muzhi squeezed one and stuffed it into Xuanxuan's mouth.

The author has something to say: Xiao Shou's life is getting better and better, but Xiao Gong is about to cry, hahahahahaha
