Chapter 231: Soft and smooth (second update)

 Jiang Zhiluo is still relatively cautious.

And most importantly, she suspected that she was related to the Wei family.

 The Wei family is a taboo in the entire Yun Kingdom, representing collaboration with the enemy and treason.

Although she believed that the Wei family had not collaborated with the enemy and treason, the imperial court clearly stated this, and most people believed it without knowing the truth.

If a caring person discovers soap and covets the secret recipe, don't find anything when the time comes.

There are also her parents, who must have some secrets.

 She was also worried that someone would find out about her parents, which would put them in danger.

 So Jiang Zhiluo is more cautious.

Jiang Zhiluo had been shopping in the town before, and also in the county town. She had never found such a thing as soap.

She remembered what Mrs. Cui said before when she was washing clothes. She said that when she was in the capital, everyone liked to use scented soap and bath beans to wash and wash clothes.

  However, bath beans and fragrant peppers are very expensive and are made from various spices, so ordinary people cannot afford them.

Villers generally use soap locust or plant ash to rinse and wash their clothes.

 Making soap is cheap and easy to use.

Mrs. Cui trusted Jiang Zhiluo. She nodded and said, "Okay, if you need to do anything, tell mother and she will help you."

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Mom, help me burn some of these plant ashes, and I will burn some shells."

Gangzhiluo burn the shells. After burning, mash them into powder.

Mrs. Cui followed Jiang Zhiluo's instructions and burned the plant ashes first, then poured water into the mixture, stirred it, and then used gauze to filter out the plant ashes water.

 After that, pour the shell powder into the filtered plant ash water and stir.

 After stirring, filter through gauze.

 Pour some mugwort water into it, stir and let it sit.

Seeing Jiang Zhiluo put it aside for a while, Mrs. Cui held the jar and said, "Aren't you going to use the lard?"

Jiang Zhiluo said: "I want to use it, but before using it tomorrow, put it in a place with the water first."

"good."

Mrs. Cui is a little itchy and wants to know what soap looks like.

If it could be made so easily, toiletries would be very cheap, much cheaper than soap.

But she couldn't imagine what soap looked like.

 After putting the things away, Jiang Zhiluo looked at a long bamboo tube.

This is the same bamboo she cut down at Niushan Village before.

 Most of the bamboo was given to her parents, and she also kept a few for use.

 Bamboo tubes are good for holding soap.

 After working for a long time, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui went into the house to see how their hair was doing.

 Open the lid and find that the dough has puffed up.

 “The color looks really nice when the face is opened.”

 “There is also a faint aroma of green grass.”

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said: "It tastes like mugwort, and the steamed buns made will also taste like mugwort."

Mrs. Cui went to get the large panel and placed it on the big table so that she and Zhi Luo could sit and knead the dough to make steamed buns.

 Then she scooped some dough and put it on the board to prevent the dough from sticking to the board.

Chiang Chi-luo brought the basin to the panel and poured the noodles out of the basin.

 Then knead the dough as a whole.

 Kneading the dough also requires skill, and you need to knead out all the air inside.

 Knead it almost and break it into pieces.

Mrs. Cui picked up pieces of dough and started kneading them.

Mrs. Cui is now learning how to make and knead dough from Jiang Zhiluo.

 She also knew how to knead the dough and how to add sugar, eggs and other things when kneading the dough.

No wonder the steamed buns made by Zhiluo are so delicious.

 At first she just made steamed buns randomly, and the steamed buns she made were hard, tasteless and unpalatable.

The steamed buns made with Zhiluo are soft, smooth and delicious.

Of course she has learned it now.

 She knows that there are some things to pay attention to when kneading dough. Knead it into a round ball and put it on the grate to wake up for a while.

 After waking up for a while, boil it in a pot with cold water.

Jiang Zhiluo steamed the steamed buns herself, counting the time, and stopped burning firewood when it was almost done.

 Turn off the heat and simmer for a while.

 Steam is emitted, and the room is filled with aura.

 But it’s the smell of steamed buns.

Mrs. Cui said: "Freshly steamed steamed buns are the best."

No matter how delicious the steamed buns are, the second and third meals are still not as delicious as the first meal when they are warmed up.

Mrs. Cui remembered that Zhiluo said she would cook braised pork for dinner.

Mrs. Cui still remembers the taste of the braised pork made by Zhi Luo. It was so fragrant and went well with rice.

　　It’s most delicious when eaten with freshly baked steamed buns.

After the steamed buns were steamed, Jiang Zhiluo looked at the sky and saw that it was almost time.

 Soon Cui Hejin came back from school.

 She started to prepare the dishes.

“Mom, let’s cook four dishes tonight.”

“Four dishes, can you eat them?”

 Generally, there are three of them, and they only cook two dishes, but if they cook more of each dish, it will be enough for three people.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Just take the steamed buns that are just out of the pot and eat more vegetables."

"good."

In fact, Mrs. Cui also wants to eat a few more flavors, but she is afraid that it will be too hard to cook Zhiluo too much.

She learned some cooking skills from Zhiluo, but the taste of her cooking was still different from that of Zhiluo.

  She felt that cooking might also depend on a person’s talent.

Jiang Zhiluo went to the backyard vegetable garden and picked a few eggplants.

Mrs. Cui took the eggplant and prepared to wash the vegetables. She asked: "Zhiluo, after washing the eggplant, should I cut it into slices and fry it?"

Jiang Zhiluo said: "No, you don't need to cut it into slices, just cut it horizontally and then vertically, leaving the head on, and then put it in the pot to steam. Then I will pound some minced garlic to make the soup, and then pour it on the eggplant and stir it. ”

This kind of steamed eggplant is also delicious.

 If she doesn’t make braised pork, she will make braised eggplant.

 But there are already braised vegetables, so just steam the eggplant. The four kinds of vegetables have different tastes, so they are delicious when eaten.

 She picked green peppers again and made fried meat with green peppers.

 Use the loofah to make loofah soup.

 In this season, all kinds of vegetables are ripe, so it is the season to eat more vegetables.

Mrs. Cui gave Jiang Zhiluo some advice, and Jiang Zhiluo started cooking.

Jiang Zhiluo never finds cooking troublesome. She likes to cook delicious food.

 Cooking delicious meals that the whole family likes to eat will give Jiang Zhiluo a sense of accomplishment.

She also saw that the apricot trees on the hillside behind the house were full of apricots, but they were not ripe yet. When they are ripe, they can be canned.

 After making it, store it in the cellar. When the weather is hot, take it out and eat it as a cold drink. It will relieve the heat.

 If you can’t finish the apricots, you can also make apricot preserves and apricot jam.

Jiang Zhiluo likes this season because there are many delicious foods in this season.

Just as Jiang Zhiluo was making the last loofah soup, an anxious voice came from outside, "Master, Master, are you at home?"

When Jiang Zhiluo heard this voice, she was stunned for a moment. Isn't this Wei Xingye's voice?

 Speaking of it, she agreed to be Wei Xingye's master, but she didn't see Wei Xingye much during this period.

 Last time he came back from a mission and was a little injured, and he also told her about the war outside.

Jiang Zhiluo hurriedly handed the spoon to Mrs. Cui and said, "Mom, look at the pot, and I'll go out and take a look."

"good."

 At this time, she didn't care to explain to Mrs. Cui why someone called her master.

Jiang Zhiluo hurriedly ran to the door.

Wei Xingye's voice was filled with anxiety, and it seemed like there was something urgent. (End of chapter)
