Chapter 1891 Talent
Mingda smiled and tried to pull her away. "Sister, don't listen to their nonsense. I believe she touched the liver and kidneys, but I don't believe she touched the heart. I've only heard of her performing an abdominal surgery, but never a thoracotomy."
Chang Yu seemed to be struck by lightning, and was about to cry but couldn't. "Mingda, why are you scaring me like them?"
Bai Shan frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Princess Changyu, I heard from Manbao that you also like to eat mutton soup. They are all heart and liver, why are you afraid of people?"
Changyu: ...
What she eats is mutton offal, not human offal!
Why can’t we be afraid?
A few people scared Changyu for a while, then picked up the basket and went down the mountain.
The servants in the house drew clean water from the well to wash the fruit and their hands.
For the first time ever, Changyu and Mingda did not go back to the house. Instead, they sat with Manbao and the others not far from the wellhead, reaching out to call for the freshly drawn well water.
The water was so cold that Chang Yu immediately put her hands in, soaking her sleeves. She happily splashed the water everywhere, saying happily, "It's so cool."
Manbao nodded repeatedly. He didn't stop Changyu, but he didn't let Mingda play in the water. "You are weak, don't play in cold water."
The palace maids breathed a sigh of relief and were about to go to the kitchen to fetch some water when Fang had already brought up the water from the wooden barrel next to them. She scooped two spoonfuls of water from it into a basin and handed it to Mingda, saying with a smile, "This water has been drying for a long time, it's just right for use."
Mingda reached out and touched it, and found that it was indeed warm. She was curious, "Can water be dried in the sun?"
"Of course you can," Manbao said, "In the summer, if you don't want to waste too much firewood, you can bathe in the sun-dried water."
Mingda and Changyu both heard about it for the first time and were extremely surprised.
After all the fruits were washed, Chang Yu stared at Bai Shan and Bai Er Lang and ordered, "You eat first."
Bai Shan: "..."
He glanced at Manbao, picked out a medium-sized one and took a bite. His eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded slightly and said to everyone, "This is good, it's sweet. The last time we ate it, it might not have been cooked well, so it was sour."
After saying that, he ate the whole fruit with relish.
When Changyu heard this, he immediately picked a particularly large one and took a bite. After chewing it for a while, his eyes couldn't help but widen. He couldn't spit out the thing in his mouth, nor could he swallow it. It was so sour that he was about to cry.
Bai Shan slowly finished the fruit in his hand and washed his hands. He frowned and looked at Chang Yu, asking worriedly, "Is it sour? Is it because the fruit doesn't grow on the same tree?"
The fruits are all mixed together, who knows if they are from the same tree?
Chang Yu didn't notice Bai Shan's prank, and covered his mouth and vomited. It was really too sour.
As soon as she left, Manbao couldn't help laughing, then reached out and patted Bai Shan, "You hurt the enemy by 800 and you hurt yourself by 1,000."
Bai Erlang silently put back the pear he had just picked up and retracted his claws. He said, "I always feel like something is weird."
When Changyu came back, everyone stared at the pears in the basket in a daze, "We picked so many just for fun? What a waste."
Of course, I have to ask my sister-in-law about things like food.
Manbao stood up and said, "I'll go ask my sister-in-law."
Xiao Qian looked at the pears they had picked and said with a smile, "Why not make some pear wine?"
She smiled and said, "Use sugar and yeast. I'll make you a few jars of pear wine. It's sweet and should taste better than plum wine."
Chang Yu asked curiously, "Can fruits be made into wine? I've only heard of flowers being used to make wine."
Little Qian said, "I don't know how to make flower wine, that Aunt Rong can. I only know how to make wine from pears, and it was the recipe that Manbao found."
She didn't do that before, but now her children have to socialize, go out, or entertain guests at home, so they all have to drink some wine, and they don't like it.
Because the wine they had drunk was sweet, Manbao thought of making wine with other fruits. After all, the grapes they grew at home seemed to have not borne fruit yet.
Manbao searched in the encyclopedia and finally found a recipe for plum wine and apple wine for Xiao Qianshi.
Xiao Qianshi tried making it and found it was okay. She felt that wine made from fruits was mostly the same, and the main problem was that it was expensive.
Because the sugar used is very expensive.
Only wealthy families would brew such wine, and families like them brew it for Manbao and others to drink.
In comparison, the wine made from grain is more to Zhou's taste. Although the wine is expensive, grain is much cheaper than fruit and sugar.
When Mingda heard about making wine, Changyu was quite happy with it and asked, "Can you make wine from such sour pears? Will it be sour or sweet?"
Xiao Qian said honestly, "It's sweet and sour."
She said, "Sweet and sour tastes better. If it's too sweet, you need to add more sugar. If it's too sweet, it will be greasy and not good."
Manbao immediately said, "Listen to my sister-in-law."
She said to Changyu, "When it comes to food, you can never go wrong by listening to my sister-in-law."
Chang Yu hesitated for a moment when he was about to ask for more sugar, then decided to listen to Man Bao. He nodded and said, "Okay, then let's have the sweet and sour one."
Xiao Qian found a jar and made it for them.
She often pickles things, and her house may be short of other things, but she definitely has jars.
She looked at the four baskets of pears, and finally found five clean jars. She washed the pears again and began to peel them.
Fang and the others rushed to help. Manbao also rolled up his sleeves and started working, but Qian slapped the back of his hand and said, "Don't do anything rash when you're working with a knife. You have a very noble hand. Go play with it aside first, it will be healed soon."
Although there are many pears, there are also many people, so they move quite quickly.
After peeling the pear, cut it into pieces, remove the core, cut into pieces and put them into the jar.
Zhou Lixue found all the candies in the house and brought them to his mother.
Xiao Qian estimated it and felt it was about right, so she nodded.
Old Zhou took a look from a distance and said to Qian, "Such a big jar of sugar, but you can only make such a small amount of wine. It's simply a sin."
Qian glared at him and said, "Shut up. The candy was brought by my mother-in-law."
Because Manbao and his friends like to eat snacks, Mrs. Liu asked people to bring a lot of candy when she came to the manor, so that she could make all kinds of delicious food for them.
Xiao Qianshi did not fill the jar to the brim, but left one-third of the space for fermentation. She put sugar and fruit pulp in layer by layer. Manbao squatted beside and watched. He saw that she did not weigh it, but put sugar in completely based on her feeling. At most, she would smell it when putting pears in.
Changyu was curious, "Why do you want to smell the pear?"
Manbao said, "See if it's sour."
She said, "My sister-in-law is amazing. She can tell whether a pear is sour and how sour it is just by smelling it."
Chang Yu was shocked, "So amazing?"
Manbao nodded.
Xiao Qian was amused when she heard this and said, "It's not that great. I just made a rough estimate and had a feeling."
Manbao continued to say to Changyu: "The word 'feeling' is talent."
Changyu looked at Xiao Qianshi, then at the fruit flesh in the jar, and nodded in agreement.
See you at 6pm
