The guards of crossing, please serve

, I remembered when I was a child, I saw the process of grandma making soy sauce in the country.Although I don't remember clearly, I still have some impressions of the general steps. Since he is quite free these days, he might as well come and develop it himself to see if he can make a refreshing soy sauce.

On the second day, Ran Mingyuan sneaked into the kitchen and smelled a strong aroma of beans.He ran to the stove and saw soybeans steaming in the cage on the stove.

"What is this for?" Ran Mingyuan asked Shen Qing.Shen Qing casually handed him a bowl of cilantro, then pushed him by the shoulders and sent him out of the kitchen: "My lord, I'm making the seasoning, please don't come in, be careful of the smell on your body."

Turning around and seeing Shen Qing entering the kitchen again, Ran Mingyuan pouted, a little unhappy, Shen Qing loathes him.

After more than an hour, Shen Qing added firewood, and when he walked out of the kitchen to go to the toilet, he was surprised to find that Ran Mingyuan was sitting at the door of the kitchen with his back to him, holding an empty bowl in his hand. It looks very lonely.

"My lord, what are you...what are you doing?" Shen Qing walked over, knelt down and looked at Ran Mingyuan.

Ran Mingyuan looked at him for a moment, and said: "You ignore me, I have nowhere to go."

Seeing Ran Mingyuan with an innocent face, Shen Qing suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and then began to regret his bad behavior of pushing the prince out of the kitchen.But... the majestic prince, shouldn't there be no master here, and no master to stay here?Why is Ran Mingyuan so pitiful, as if he has nowhere to go but himself?

"If the prince doesn't dislike it, why not make soy sauce with his subordinates." With a heavy sense of mission on his shoulders, Shen Qing invited Ran Mingyuan with a smile.

"Oh, success!" Ran Mingyuan smiled mischievously, and his eyes returned to the former look: "Making soy sauce? Sounds fun." After finishing speaking, he ran into the kitchen excitedly.

Shen Qing stood up, looking at the figure jumping around in the kitchen, feeling a little helpless: So, was Ran Mingyuan pretending to be pitiful just now?I seem to have been deceived, isn't it a bit silly... But, seeing Ran Mingyuan's energetic appearance, even if he knew he was deceived, he didn't feel angry!

After the beans were steamed for a full two hours, Shen Qing turned off the fire, and continued to stew the beans with the residual temperature of the cage.

On the side, according to what Shen Qing said, Ran Mingyuan put the soybeans into a large pot and stirred them with a pair of chopsticks.After a while, he drained the water in the pot, and then added clean water to let the soybeans be fully soaked in it.

"So, how long will we have to wait?" Ran Mingyuan asked Shen Qing.

"The soybeans need to be soaked for about three or four hours before they can be used until the beans are fully opened. The soybeans in this cage should be left to simmer until they can be taken out tomorrow."

"It's been so long!" Ran Mingyuan curled his lips: "I never knew before that making these things is so complicated, but it's really interesting."

Shen Qing said with a smile: "Although the process is complicated, when you make the finished product and eat the dishes cooked with soy sauce made by yourself, nothing can replace the feeling of satisfaction."

Ran Mingyuan listened and looked at Shen Qing differently.Originally, he didn't know much about the work of cooks and guards. In the mansion, there was Ran Degao in culture, Ran Mingyuan in Wu, and he seldom cared about the affairs of the palace. Curious about it all.

This kind of curiosity made him willing to wait in the kitchen for several hours, and then help Shen Qing wash the beans, dry the beans, and steam the beans.It turns out that doing these things can be so happy!Throughout the whole day, Ran Mingyuan had a bright smile on his face.

In Shen Qing's eyes, that smile always made him feel that apart from beauty, there was something more about Ran Mingyuan, which made people unable to look away.

After more than ten days of fermentation and processing, it is finally time to harvest.

Shen Qing and Ran Mingyuan stood side by side in front of the stove, looking into the pot with both heads together.Shen Qing used a spoon to skim off the foam in the pot from time to time, while Ran Mingyuan sniffed the smell desperately, his small face full of anticipation.

"Be careful, don't dip your face into the pot." Shen Qing couldn't help teasing Ran Mingyuan.After more than ten days of cooperation, the relationship between the two has gotten closer. Now Shen Qing is in front of Ran Mingyuan, but he doesn't care about his superiority or inferiority at all.

Seeing that the water color of beans boiled in the pot was getting darker and darker, the familiar rich aroma wafted in the air.Shen Qing took the pot down, filtered out the beans and impurities with a clean cloth, and what was left was bright and mellow soy sauce.

"Let me taste it!" Ran Mingyuan couldn't wait to pick up a spoon, scooped up a little soy sauce and brought it to his mouth: "Wow, it's so fresh!" He exclaimed enthusiastically.

Shen Qing brought a bean to his mouth, Ran Mingyuan opened his mouth and swallowed it, chewed it twice and then exclaimed in admiration: "This bean is also good, if it is paired with a pot of Lihuabai, it will be a bliss in the world."

Seeing Ran Mingyuan's intoxicated face, his cheeks puffed up with pride, Shen Qing couldn't help pinching his face, took out a jug of wine from the side and said, "I've prepared it a long time ago, I knew you would think so."

So, the two sat directly on the stone bench in the yard, each with a small wine glass, and began to taste the fruits of their labor.

Beans are fresh, salty, soft and glutinous, and are the best appetizers. There is also a deep-fried old fritters next to it, which is the best in the world when dipped in soy sauce.Ran Mingyuan didn't care about the hotness, he yelled and yelled while eating, and didn't care about the prince's dignity at all.

Since then, Ran Mingyuan has fallen in love with "making soy sauce", a beneficial activity for the body and mind.

As crates of soybeans were constantly being transported into the palace, Ran Mingyuan was busy in and out of the kitchen every day, and several large tanks in the kitchen were used to hold the prince's finished products.

"There is so much soy sauce, the entire palace can't eat it all in a year!" The kitchen aunt caught Ran Degao and complained endlessly to him.

And Ran Degao, after seriously considering the impossibility of starting a soy sauce business, politely expressed his request to Ran Mingyuan to "temporarily stop making soy sauce".

"What, I'm afraid I can't finish it?" Ran Mingyuan said while skimming off the froth: "It's okay, according to the market price of soy sauce, it's enough to pay the wages with soy sauce. Well, my pot is out again, you come to help , I want to filter out the dregs."

After a long period of time, the palace ate countless soy sauce feasts from top to bottom, and for a longer period of time, the smell of soy sauce changed color.Even as long as they see reddish-brown things, many people will feel nauseous, and the sound of full belching will keep ringing one after another.

As a result, new rumors about the palace were born again. Outsiders thought that the food in the palace was good, and there were seven or eight meals a day. Otherwise, how could you hear hiccups all the time?And among the local Guijia families, hiccups have also become popular.When someone comes to be a guest, if the servant doesn't hiccup a few times in person, it will be as if the family has deducted the servant's expenses, which is a shameful thing.

And the instigator of all this, our little prince Ran Mingyuan, is now worrying about other things.

17. Intimate weight loss meal...

"I'm fat!"

Looking at the sumptuous food on the table, Ran Mingyuan couldn't keep up his spirits, and threw out a sentence extremely heavily.

Ran Xiaoguai looked at him, then at her arms and thighs, then sighed and put down her chopsticks.

Shen Qing looked left and then right, and then looked at the fragrant dishes on the table. He didn't know what the fuss was about?

Ran Xiaoguai was taken back for education by Ran Degao because "he wanted to lose weight for no reason", and he was brought back with a large bowl of rice and several meat dishes.

"You are not fat at all, and you are growing your body now, how can you grow taller if you don't eat more..." Ran Degao's voice echoed throughout the palace.

Ran Xiaoguai squeezed her own arm, then Ran Degao's, and said softly: "That's not true, Daddy's arm is only a layer of skin, and Xiaoguai can't feel the bones, Xiaoguai is a fat man."

This is the only way to be cute and easy to pinch, what fun is it to pinch a bone!Ran Degao neighed in grief and anger in his heart, and said calmly on the surface: "That's why your father and I can't grow taller. Tell me, do you want to grow as tall as your Uncle Wang Wang, or to be as thin and small as me?"

Ran Xiaoguai hesitated for a while, then curled her lips and said, "Uncle Wang Wang is so imposing."

"So, you just eat all of these, and Daddy guarantees that you can grow so tall." Ran Degao said, patting his chest.

Ran Xiaoguai looked at him, then at the table, and finally picked up the chopsticks and began to eat slowly.

What a cute kid!Ran Degao looked at Xiaoguai's eating, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment as a father.As for what I promised, let's forget about it for the time being. Anyway, Xiaoguai won't remember it when he wakes up tomorrow.

Ran Xiaoguai is easy to coax, but Ran Mingyuan is not so easy to deal with.

"Look, Qingqing, the meat on my stomach is piled up!"

Ran Mingyuan unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his white and tender belly, and complained to Shen Qing as he pulled the skin on his belly with two fingers.

Shen Qing just glanced at the small and exquisite navel on Baibai's belly. No matter how delicate it looked, he felt his face start to get hot. He quickly turned his head away and said with an apologetic smile: "My lord, why are you getting fat? The way you look now, It's better than watching."

"The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. If I let go of the little meat now, I will become a big fat man in the future." Ran Mingyuan said firmly: "We must not let this meat stay on my body!"

At the beginning, Shen Qing thought that Ran Mingyuan was only a temporary fascination, he didn't eat lunch, but always had dinner.

But when he put the dinner on the table and went into the room to call Ran Mingyuan to eat,
