The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Tao Anran distributed the chestnuts to Bai Lu and Han Lu next to her.It's more delicious when we eat it together.Now the two have been by Tao Anran's side for a while, knowing that the princess is not a person who pays attention to status, so they don't refuse.And they obeyed Wang Hao's heart, and Wang Hao was more happy.

While eating the chestnuts, Han Lu asked: "Princess, what should I do with the beans? Are they sent directly to the stables to feed Baiyun alone? There are also a lot of beans in the mansion, and they are all placed in the stables to be fed to the horses. Or should they be fed to the horses?" All these beans mixed together?"

Tao Anran was surprised: "Are there beans in the house? Why didn't I see it?"

Bai Lu laughed and said, "In the mansion, the beans are usually feed for the horses. Especially in this cold weather, sometimes the horses can't eat hay, so they need to add some beans to supplement it. So the beans are usually placed next to the stables." In the warehouse. These beans are cheap, and few people usually buy them. The princess bought these beans because the grandpa and grandson have no business, right?"

Tao Anran smiled, "Bai Lu, you think too much. Naturally, I bought these beans because I needed them. And I didn't prepare them for Baiyun. If I knew there were these beans in the house, then I wouldn't buy them. "

Han Lu continued: "Princess, will you really watch the grandpa and grandson blow in the cold wind because they have no business?"

Tao Anran glanced at him, and pointed to the wild fruits in the corner, "I only said not to buy beans, but I didn't say not to buy other things. At least those wild fruits, I will definitely buy them."

Bai Lu and Han Lu looked at each other and smiled, not taking Wang Hao's words seriously.They just thought it was the concubine's duplicity, after all, who could know the concubine's kindness better than them who served her personally.

Whether they believe it or not, Tao Anran dragged the wild fruit in the corner to him, and then picked out the hawthorn.He picked up a hawthorn and wiped it, then opened his mouth and bit it. It tasted sour in the mouth, but after a careful aftertaste, it was a bit sweet.

This is the same taste as he had when he was a child.At that time, there were no other snacks, and some wild hawthorn and chestnuts were rare snacks.If you think about it carefully, it all happened many years ago, not to mention that there is still a world apart now.

"Princess, princess!"

Tao Anran came to his senses, it was Bai Lu calling him.He asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Bai Lu's eyes were worried, "Princess, the car has stopped and we've arrived at the mansion."

Han Lu was also concerned: "Princess, what's the matter with you, I just called you a few times and didn't answer."

Tao Anran reassured: "It's okay, just now, I just thought of something. I haven't heard your speech for a while, so don't worry."

He just suddenly felt a little homesick.

Seeing the worry fade from the faces of the two, Tao Anran continued: "Let's go, take the things, let's get out of the car. I'll make you something delicious later, I guarantee you haven't seen it before."

It seems that he is still too idle, and when he gets busy, he has no time to think about things.

The two people behind looked at each other, both a little curious, they had never seen the princess cook before.And judging by Wang Hao's appearance, she should also be a person who doesn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers.Why do you suddenly want to cook?

But curiosity is nothing but curiosity, they quickly got out of the car with the things they bought.

Tao Anran was carrying the wild fruit, ready to go to the kitchen to get something.He was going ambitiously, but unfortunately, it was time to prepare lunch.To prepare meals for so many people in the palace, the kitchen is busy now.If he enters the kitchen now, it will be making trouble for others.

Bai Lu saw Tao Anran's hesitation, and said thoughtfully, "Princess, if you want anything, I'll go in and get it out of the big kitchen. We also have a small kitchen in our yard. If you have anything you want to cook, we can do it there too." ."

Tao Anran nodded, "Then you can go inside and get some sugar, there should be some in the small kitchen over the pots and pans, right?"

Bai Lu nodded affirmatively, "There is everything that should be in the small kitchen over there. It was originally prepared to heat food and hot water there when the weather is cold. Princess, do you want some candy? I'll go in and get some candy. It's windy outside, you go back to the yard first."

Since Bai Lu said so, Tao Anran immediately walked to Xueji Courtyard.He had to go to the kitchenette first to see if there was anything he needed.

Tao Anran was led by Han Lu to a remote corner of Xueji Courtyard, only to find a stove.Probably because it was about to be enabled, it was cleaned very well.Everything was placed in an orderly manner, and Tao Anran saw a small charcoal stove he wanted at a glance, but he didn't see such a small pot, so Tao Anran had to use a clean small basin with a thin bottom instead.

Just as Tao Anran asked Han Lu to light the charcoal stove, Bai Lu came back.He saw Bai Lu take out two wrapped things and spread them out for him to see.

Bai Lu: "Princess, here are the caramel and stone honey I took. I don't know which one you want, so I took a little of each. Do you see enough?"

Tao Anran's expression was surprised, the sugar he imagined should be white granulated sugar.Instead of the maltose in front of him and this large piece of dark red sugar.However, thinking of the limitations of the times, he quickly felt relieved.

He picked up the candy and wanted to break it open to try it, but he couldn't break it even after trying hard.He knocked on the table, only to hear the sound of "dong dong", and looked again, only a little sugar granule the size of a fingernail crevice fell, which was barely twisted and sent into his mouth.Well, it's sweet, but it's too firm.No wonder it is called "stone" honey.

Forget it, let's use this caramel.

Tao Anran took the candy from Bai Lu's hand, "This caramel can barely be used. By the way, first wash those wild fruits, cut them and remove the pits, then use a skewer to string them together. If you want to skewer longer, use chopsticks." Bamboo sticks longer than chopsticks are fine."

Although Bai Lu and Han Lu didn't understand why, they still followed orders.Then they saw the princess put a small basin on the stove that usually made tea, and put caramel in the basin to melt it.

Taking advantage of the time when the caramel melted, Tao Anran also asked people to pour the beans into a wooden basin, add water to wash and soak them.

As the charcoal flames in the stove licked the bottom of the basin persistently, the aroma of caramel slowly wafted out.Tao Anran always pays attention to the melting degree of the caramel on the bottom of the basin, and waits until fine bubbles appear.

There are not many wild fruits, Bai Lu and Han Lu have already made the fruits on a skewer and put them aside.At this moment, they also stood aside and watched the caramel melt curiously.

Smelling the sweet smell in the air, Han Lu couldn't help it, "Princess, what are you doing? The sugar has melted!"

Tao Anran watched the sugar liquid start to bubble, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you will know soon. Alright, let's get ready and start working."

Tao Anran took the prepared thick cloth to wrap around the hot basin, tilted it on the stove, then picked up the skewered wild fruit and rolled it in the bubbling sugar solution, and the dull fruit immediately wore off. Put on a layer of sweet and transparent coat.

In the next few minutes, he quickly coated the skewered fruits with sugar liquid.Especially in the last few strings, he did not put the wild fruits aside to shape immediately after they were wrapped in sugar solution on a whim. fruit.This is the special candied haws.

Tao Anran showed a satisfied smile when he saw that all the wild fruits were put aside and waited to be solidified.But what seems to be missing?His eyes lit up when he saw the unused wooden sticks in the kitchen.

Yes, since there are already candied haws, how can there be no grass and wood sticks.The appearance of sticks filled with candied haws is the deepest appearance in memory, and it is also a sense of ritual.

Tao Anran gestured to the length of the stick, "Han Lu, go get some straw or straw and wrap one end of this stick."

Han Lu came back to his senses when he heard the voice. It was really Wang Hao's actions that puzzled him.The price of sugar is already expensive, and the palace doesn't usually use it much.It's a bit overkill for the princess to use all these caramels to wrap wild fruits.But he was curious at the same time.

Hearing the princess calling again, Han Lu hurriedly replied: "Okay, princess, I'll take it out and wrap it in straw. But, what is this for?"

At the same time, Bai Lu asked: "Princess, there is still some sugar on the stove, what should I do with it?" She felt distressed when she spoke, and it would be a pity to throw it away.

Tao Anran gave the wooden stick to Han Lu, looked at the sugar liquid left on the stove, had an idea, and said with a smile: "This can be used to make some milk tea!"

The two said in unison: "Milk tea?"

After seeing each other for a while, Bai Lu asked curiously: "What is this milk tea? Is it milk and tea together? Can I drink it?"

Tao Anran replied: "You will know when this milk tea is made. By the way, Bai Lu, go get someone to bring some tea. For milk, milk seems to be rarely seen, so use goat's milk. And Han Lu, you put This stick is a bit fatter, and I will use it to insert these candied haws."

The two of them got the answer, although they still didn't quite understand it, they still did it one by one.

The tea and goat milk were quickly prepared and placed by Tao Anran's hand.Fortunately, the charcoal fire in the stove was small, and the sugar liquid was not boiled dry.Tao Anran grabbed a handful of tea leaves and put them in, stir-frying the aroma, then poured goat's milk.After that, wait for the goat milk to boil, filter out the tea leaves and enjoy.

During the waiting time, the grass and wood sticks were also finished.Then pick up the candied haws to have a look, after confirming that the sugar liquid has been finalized, Tao Anran picked up a candied haws and bit off the hawthorn, it was sour and sweet, it was the familiar taste.

Tao Anran hurriedly said to Bai Lu Hanlu: "You guys also try this candied haws quickly."

After seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of both of them after tasting the candied haws, Tao Anran was satisfied.He held candied haws in his mouth, and inserted the candied haws one by one into the sticks with both hands.The scene was like braids on a stick, or flowers blooming from dead wood.

Putting the wooden stick full of candied haws away, Tao Anran heard the sound of bubbling and bubbling, and Tao Anran turned her head, and it turned out that it was milk tea.He ate the candied haws in his hand in two bites, and quickly poured the goat milk into three bowls beside him.

Gently blowing the hot air on the bowl, Tao Anran took a sip of the hot milk tea.The smoothness of goat milk is matched with the fragrance of tea leaves and a slight caramel flavor.

He announced that this is a successful bowl of caramel milk tea!
