Chapter 483 My Young Self
"Sister, look, I knew that my brother would eat good food here!" Princess Yuzhang happily ran over while pulling Princess Changle.
"Greetings to Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang!" Su Ying saluted, followed by Xiaotao and Atang.
"Oh, no need to be so polite! What are you eating?" Yuzhang stared at the hawthorn skewers in everyone's hands and asked even though he knew the answer.
"Candied haws! Princess, please try it!" Su Ying handed it to the princess.
"Hmm, delicious!" Yuzhang took a light bite, and the rock sugar shell made a rustling sound.
Changle was more reserved, but was also amazed after taking one bite.
"Sister, it's delicious, right? This trip is worth it! It's worth walking so far in the cold wind!" Yuzhang smacked his lips while eating.
Seeing Xiao Tao and Atang beside Su Ying, "Hey, you are Master Su's sisters, right?"
"Yes!" Xiaotao replied.
"Oh, how come they all look like Lord Su, so handsome!" Yu Zhang looked at Xiao Tao and Atang with their big blinking eyes and liked them very much.
Yuzhang squeezed next to Xiaotao and Atang. The three of them were of similar age and had something to talk about.
"These plates have been frozen. Put them in lunch boxes and place them outside!" Su Ying said to the eunuch.
"No need. Send one plate to Liangyi Hall and one plate to Lizheng Hall. The rest will be taken back to Changle and Yuzhang later." Li Chengqian ordered.
Su Ying glanced at Li Chengqian. This child was really outstanding. It was rare for a child of his age to be so thoughtful and considerate in everything.
"Gao Ming, what about me?" Li Tai finished eating one and before he could say anything, the candied haws were all distributed.
"You have learned it, go back and do it yourself!" Li Chengqian said mischievously.
"Then, I'll take this half basket!" Li Tai was not stupid either, and he thought of a riddle.
"No, Master Su said that we also need to make hawthorn cake!" Li Chengqian refused to give it to her.
"Then I want to learn too!" Li Tai had planned to leave after eating, but when he heard that, he decided not to leave.
"Don't make noise, I'm not free today!" Su Ying said clearly.
"Then what are you going to do?" Li Tai's eyes moved back and forth between Li Chengqian and Su Ying.
"Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to learn a craft." Su Ying said tactfully.
"I'll learn too!" How could Li Tai be willing to be excluded?
Su Ying looked at Li Chengqian helplessly. It was not easy for her to make the decision on her own, after all, the prince was the most powerful person here.
"If you want to learn, you can. I will teach you!" Li Chengqian said slowly.
"How much?" Li Tai said without hesitation.
"Four pieces of donkey-hide gelatin!" Li Chengqian stretched out four fingers.
"Oh! The two dollars you gave me this morning were for this?" Li Tai suddenly realized, "Why did you only pay two dollars and I had to pay four?"
He was willing to give both boxes to Su Ying, but he was not satisfied that his brother wanted only four pieces from him.
"You got two boxes and I got one box. I paid two dollars, so of course you get four dollars!" Li Chengqian also started to act like a rogue.
"Gao Ming, you are cheating!" Li Tai yelled.
"Are you going to do it or not? If not, don't learn!" Li Chengqian laughed in his heart when he saw his brother was angry.
"Okay! I'll deliver it to Lord Su tomorrow!" Li Tai didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
Anyway, he had to be inserted between Li Chengqian and Su Ying. He had to have everything his brother had and learn everything his brother learned! He couldn't let his brother surpass him.
Changle and Yuzhang were not surprised at all. They ate their candied haws and chatted with Xiaotao and Atang.
"Okay, let's go inside!" After eating candied haws outside the hall, Su Ying felt chilly.
The eunuch brought all the ingredients for the donkey-hide gelatin cake.
"What is this?" Li Tai looked at it curiously. Sha La and Yu Zhang also came over after smelling the alcohol.
"Donkey-hide gelatin paste, also known as donkey-hide gelatin cake, nourishes the body and replenishes qi and blood!" Su Ying introduced.
"Lord Xiao Su can also make medicine?" Li Tai was shocked. Lord Xiao Su can do anything!
"Uh, Fourth Prince, this is medicine, but it's not medicine either!"
"What do you mean?" Li Tai was puzzled.
"The ingredients used in donkey-hide gelatin cakes are mostly medicinal and edible. After they are made, they can be eaten as snacks, with one or two pieces a day being enough.
The emphasis is on long-term nourishment of Qi and blood, and nourishing the body, rather than immediate cures." Su Ying explained the difference between the two.
"Nourish qi and blood? Who wants to eat it? Gao Ming, you?" Li Tai looked at his brother, whose face was rosy and he did not have any congenital deficiency!
"Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very filial. He is worried that the Queen has been overworked and has become very thin, so he wants to replenish her energy and blood." Su Ying praised Li Chengqian.
"I'll do it for Mother too!" Li Tai said hurriedly. He usually acted like a spoiled child with Aye and never had the chance to show off in front of Mother.
"Master Xiao Su, let's make some for Mother too. I'll pay the tuition tomorrow. I also have two boxes, so I'll pay four yuan!" Princess Changle requested.
"That's right, that's right! Master Xiao Su, I want to learn too! Okay, sister, lend me two pieces, I'll pay you back when I have them!" Yu Zhang also wanted to learn.
"The two princesses can study, but you don't have to pay them tuition. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince have given enough." Su Ying waved her hands hurriedly.
Li Chengqian prepared not much donkey-hide gelatin, just one pound.
Su Ying asked people to divide all the raw materials into three parts, one for the crown prince, one for the fourth prince, and one for Changle and Yuzhang.
First, the proportions of the various raw materials were discussed, and the crushed donkey-hide gelatin was soaked in rice wine for twelve hours.
Three small stoves and three small iron pots.
Pour donkey-hide gelatin and rice wine into a pot and boil. After the donkey-hide gelatin is completely dissolved, add rock sugar and boil until the rock sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour the red dates cut into small pieces, the fried and chopped walnut kernels, wolfberries, and black sesame seeds into the pot and stir-fry until everything is mixed together.
Take out the dough, place it in a greased pan, flatten it and sprinkle with dried rose petals.
Let it cool outside and solidify.
Use a knife to cut into small slices of uniform size and thickness.
"Is it done?" Li Tai looked at the donkey-hide gelatin cakes he had cut into thin and thick pieces, feeling unsatisfied.
Although it is not cut evenly, it is extremely beautiful against the backdrop of the pink rose petals.
"Well, that's it! Let me try your cooking!" Su Ying nodded.
"We can eat it too?" Li Tai was surprised. Isn't it for women to replenish qi and blood?
“Uh, anyone with insufficient Qi and blood can eat it, not just women.
The Fourth Prince is in good health and doesn't need this to replenish his Qi and blood, but it's okay to try it." Su Ying laughed.
"I've learned something new. I thought donkey-hide gelatin cakes were only used to replenish women's qi and blood!" Li Tai understood immediately.
"Master Xiao Su's statement about the common origin of medicine and food is quite novel. I'll find a couple of medical books to read someday!"
"Sister, let's find some medical books to learn from, and make some food that can be used as both medicine and food for mother to nourish her body!" Yu Zhang was inspired.
Several children each picked up a piece to taste.
"Hmm, it's delicious, fragrant and sweet!" Yuzhang likes this taste that is not very sweet, but soft, sticky and chewy.
"You are thin, and eating properly can strengthen your physique." Su Ying said to the two skinny princesses.
"Haha, it's rare to see several children playing together!" The emperor held the queen outside the palace, quietly watching the children with cheerful faces, eating and chatting.
Even the eldest son, who is usually dull and boring, is lively and smart at this moment, and his every move is quite similar to his younger self.
