Chapter 506 Chestnut Cake
Although Jiang Fubao did not pass the exam.
But I am very familiar with the process.
Her words of comfort made Jiang Tongji feel relieved of his depression.
From eating to sleeping.
No one in the Jiang family has ever mentioned the words "Autumn Examination" and "Provincial Examination".
Even the autumn fruit vegetables on the table were called "guoguo vegetables" by Zhang Jinlan, which made them more cute.
Jiang Tongji knew in his heart that his family was afraid of bringing up this matter and causing him to fall into the shadow of failing the exam again.
This love made his heart feel extremely warm.
At night, he slept in the bedding his mother prepared for him and even had sweet dreams.
After a night, Jiang Fubao opened his eyes and it was already dawn.
No one came to call her at night, which meant that Chen Tianfeng did not have a fever.
As long as you don't have a fever, you've made it.
When they arrived at the clinic, Jiang Fubao taught the grandfather and grandson several acupuncture points on Chen Tianfeng's body. Jiang Cheng also came at that time.
After taking the three people away, Jiang Fubao found a money bag on the bed where Chen Tianfeng slept last night. When he opened it, he found exactly two taels of silver.
Just now, Mr. Chen wanted to give her money for the consultation, but she refused.
Last night, my aunt heard that Chen Tianfeng was injured, so she secretly gave her ten taels of silver so that she could use the best medicine.
But she didn't want the ten taels either.
Jiang Fubao knew what his aunt was thinking and felt that what he had done before was unfair to Chen Hongxia.
We are all family, so let her make up for it.
However, she didn't expect that although she avoided Lao Chentou's money, she couldn't avoid Chen Hongxia's.
The money bag also has the scent of flowers and plants.
"Fubao, when are we going back today? I have bought all the ingredients, and also asked the cook to peel the chestnuts for us to use when we get back." Just as Jiang Fubao put Chen Hongxia's wallet into the cash box, Jiang Ruyi came over from the backyard. She didn't even go through the door, but just stretched her head to ask.
"Shen Shichu, let's go back. The sky looks a bit cloudy today. It might rain." Jiang Fubao said, looking at the sky outside.
"Okay, I'll go pick some food first." After saying that, Jiang Ruyi's little head disappeared from the gap in the curtain.
As Jiang Fubao expected, by the end of noon, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
The drizzle fell like threads and gradually became heavier.
Until it started to rain heavily.
The once bustling streets and alleys were now empty of pedestrians. Those with umbrellas had already hurried home, while those without umbrellas hid under the eaves outside the shops to avoid the rain.
"This rain is expected to continue for quite a while. Let's go back first. Daqian Dawang, there is still a table of regular customers upstairs. Wait for them to finish eating and clean up the table. You don't need to charge them. They gave me half a month's salary last time. I will come to the clinic tomorrow and just clear the bill."
After Jiang Fubao finished giving his instructions, he left with his second sister and her maids.
Pan Shitou was carrying food materials wearing a straw raincoat.
The maids, two of them were holding an umbrella.
Jiang Fubao and Jiang Ruyi supported each other.
"Fubao, your oil paper umbrella is so beautiful. I want to go to Jiangnan to buy one in the future." Although I have seen it several times.
But every time it rains, Jiang Ruyi always praises it.
The unique oil-paper umbrella is like a gorgeous flower falling into the yellowed dead grass. It is particularly eye-catching and always attracts attention wherever it goes.
Others first looked at the umbrella and then at the person.
"They are sisters, right? They look a bit alike. They are so pretty. I don't know how they were born. The little girl is prettier than a flower. What will happen when she grows up?"
"I guess the sisters' father must be good-looking too, otherwise how could he have such pretty daughters? It is said that sons resemble their mothers and daughters resemble their fathers. Look at your squinty eyes. No matter how good you are, you can't give birth to almond eyes. If you really want to give birth to them, I'm afraid you'll have to ask your wife."
"You are such a good fellow, Wang Cong. I invited you to dinner, and you made fun of me, right? Fine! Go to the dinner by yourself the day after tomorrow. I won't go."
"Oh, Brother Liu, I was wrong. Just think of me as drunk. Okay, okay, the rain is not as heavy as before. Let's go home quickly, or my tigress will get angry. I'm really scared."
"......"
The two people's playful voices reached Jiang Fubao's ears.
And gradually it was drowned in the sound of rain.
"We're finally home. Open the door, open the door quickly. The masters are back, hurry up." Pan Erya knocked on the door of Jiang's house.
She is very strong.
The door banged like a drum.
"I'm coming, auntie, please stop smashing it, the door is about to break." The moment the door was opened, the doorman looked at Pan Erya with a resentful look.
Don't just stare at each other.
In fact, we have a very good relationship on weekdays.
"It's raining and it's very noisy. How can you hear it if I don't smash it? If you delay any longer, the master will get wet." Pan Erya put away the oil-paper umbrella and grabbed one in each hand.
The colorful sword was held by Jiang Fubao and Jiang Ruyi.
A group of people stepped onto the corridor.
Walk all the way to the backyard.
Jiang Fubao originally wanted to go back to the house to change clothes. Although she had an umbrella, the rain was too heavy, so the hem of her skirt and sleeves were soaked. But then she thought, there was a fire in the kitchen, so the clothes would be dried in a short time. Although the temperature has dropped now, it is not too cold to catch a cold. So she simply walked to the backyard with Jiang Ruyi.
"It's a bit cold today because it's raining. Let's have hot pot tonight, and pair it with chestnut cake. Hmm, a cup of warm milk for each of us, listening to the sound of rain and eating delicious food, it must be very comfortable."
Jiang Fubao sat by the stove and warmed himself by the fire.
She smacked her lips and spoke to her second sister.
"Okay, I just happen to want to eat hot pot, I'll go prepare it." Jiang Ruyi's clothes were almost dried out by the bake, she rolled up her sleeves and stood up to boil the base.
The cooks are responsible for selecting and cutting vegetables and preparing ingredients.
Jiang Fubao waited until he was completely exhausted before he started making the cake.
Eggs, milk, ghee, refined flour, and starch that had been prepared earlier were placed on the table.
She washed her hands and began to beat the eggs.
"Erya, come here. I'll give you the heavy work. Use chopsticks to beat the egg whites in the bowl." Jiang Fubao handed Pan Erya a bowl filled with egg whites separated from egg yolks, mixed with a small amount of vinegar, salt and sugar.
"Okay, I'll send you away now." Pan Erya also rolled up her sleeves. She stood by the table, stirring things frantically. Her hand speed was so fast that Jiang Fubao could even see her afterimage.
"You two, boil the peeled chestnuts. I will need them later."
Jiang Fubao spoke to the two cooks again.
"I understand, Miss Four." The cook went to fetch water while the other washed the chestnuts.
Now just wait for Arya to beat the egg whites.
Since there was firewood burning in the stove, Jiang Fubao did not preheat the grill.
After all, piling up a few bricks to block the opening has the same function as a stove.
Pan Erya was a martial artist as expected. She didn't even take a break and quickly finished beating the egg whites.
Jiang Fubao took the egg white, mixed it with the prepared egg liquid, and put it on the stove. She removed most of the firewood to prevent the fire from being too high and burning the cake.
After a while, the sweet aroma of the cake filled the entire kitchen.
