”A few of you, from now on, you will specialize, go and find these hornets nests for this king, and bees nests as well, get them back to this king, and I believe that with these you are wearing, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to get them, but the bees, all of them have to be like today, pick up the honey, and find the queen to put into the beehive, so all of you have to bring a beehive when you go to get the bees, but they are too small The beehive is too small, don’t get, remember the position, when grow up in the get” to those guards finished, Li Chengqian let the people with the hornet’s nest and honey, happily back to the palace.
Just back to the East Palace, Li Chengqian has not started to think about what to do with the honey, Xia Ju saw Li Chengqian came back and ran over, “Your Highness, just now His Majesty sent a pair of bear paws over”.
”Bear paws, I go, I just got wild honey, you give me a pair of bear paws, do you want me to try the beeswax steamed bear paws that I saw in the movie, I just don’t know if the bear paws made this way can be eaten” Hearing that there were bear paws, Li Chengqian froze for a moment, and then was calculating how to deal with it in his mind, after all, in his previous life, he didn’t have the chance to touch it. Bear paw such ingredients, can be said to see have not seen, the only know is the bear paw can be steamed and braised, as well as movies have seen the beeswax steamed bear paw.
After thinking about it for a while, anyway, I have never done it, I do not know if it is good to eat, try it, in case it is good that is not a profit, he took the hornet’s nest and honey to the kitchen.
To the kitchen to see two huge black bear paws, Li Chengqian let people first to the bear paws on the hair on the nails removed, and asked Liu Haiping day they are how to cook the bear paws, learned that it is baked and stewed, Li Chengqian heart bottomed out.
This treatment of the bear paw, the fishy smell must be very heavy, I do not know how these people eat, so Li Chengqian let people clean the bear paw, add onions, ginger and yellow wine with a small fire stew, has been stewed until the bones can be taken out until.
In the meantime, Li Chengqian also did not idle, he let people find before he did rice flower candy glutinous rice, fried with oil and put aside.
Although the rice flower candy he made before, a few little girls like to eat, even his own mother also like, but Li Chengqian and not satisfied, because the sweetness is not enough, he how to eat do not feel delicious, this time there is honey, he wants to do it again.
With a small fire to the caramel and a certain amount of lard in a pot slowly simmering, during the period to add honey, to be able to sugar thinning slightly discolored to be able to fry before the good rice flowers into the constant stirring, this process can be directly away from the fire stirring, to be rice flowers are wrapped in the sugar thinning, pour them in a pre-prepared containers, pressed into the shape you want, to be completely cooled down to cut the rice flower candy to the appropriate size on the line.
”This is the taste, much more delicious than before, it is true that the sweetness is not enough to eat, it seems that sugarcane, this high sweet crop, it is time to let people go to Lingnan to look for it, find it brother will get some people for brother to plant sugarcane to go, although white sugar is also extracted from sugarcane, but brother will not, but how to do brown sugar brother or will, the third brother’s video of the brown sugar workshop, it is not for nothing! “Eating a piece of rice flower candy, Li Chengqian’s desire for sugar is getting bigger and bigger, he is now not very satisfied with the existing caramel and maltose, brown sugar is what he wants, as for white sugar, he doesn’t know how to do, but as long as the brown sugar is made, then with the ingenuity of our great foodie kingdom, someone will surely make it, and by then it won’t be his.
”Xia Ju, you send these rice flower candies to the back garden for the princesses, and some to the Lizhong Hall, yes the bees also send some over”
”Then, Your Highness, should we keep some here?”
”Leave some of the honey, and a little bit of the rice flower candy! The others are divided” Seeing Xia Ju’s gluttonous look, Li Chengqian was amused, but still let Xia Ju keep some rice flower candy, although he doesn’t eat much, but it can be given to Xia Ju is not, after all, she is also her own relatively close people.
Get Li Chengqian’s command, Xia Ju this only let people take, happy to go, and the heart that touched, because she knows his master is not very like to eat these small snacks, like before leaving the rice flower candy, but also most of the Li Chengqian rewarded her, this time she would not have thought of, they can eat the honey added to the honey of the rice flower candy, honey is a very precious thing, but did not think that Li Chengqian can let her leave a little bit.
When Xia Ju left, the bear’s paw over there also stewed for more than an hour, Li Chengqian let people fish out, take out the bones.
Looking at the complete take out the bones of the bear paw, Li Chengqian let Liu Hai take one to braise, the other is soaked in ice water for a period of time, take out and put on the cut wild bee hive on the pot steam, and steam the bear paw of the water, not water, but before it boiled a good broth.
Looking at the bear paw was put into the steamer, Li Chengqian heart is not a little bottom, can not eat, then only after the pot, only to know.
After steaming, Li Chengqian called Liu Hai over, instructed him to watch the time, and handed over a moment to deep fry the bee pupa, he left the kitchen.
After all, now Liu Hai for frying, deep frying, stewing, boiling, hand skills are good, he does not need to keep an eye on, instructed him to do well for you, so Li Chengqian is very assured.
But when Li Chengqian came to the back garden, his face went black, he saw a group of little girls actually gave so many rice flower candies all finished.
”Big sister, won’t you watch them, so much sugar to eat down, will eat the teeth bad” Li Chengqian looked at Li Wei and said with dissatisfaction.
”Gao Ming, why are you so petty, not just eat some sugar! How can you eat your teeth” said Li Wei while putting a piece of rice flower candy into her mouth.
See this, Li Chengqian is understood, together with you lead ah, helpless, Li Chengqian is really afraid of this group of little girl teeth bad, although once or twice all right, but can’t help this group of little girl every day to eat some ah, some also bring some back, night eating.
Li Chengqian can only let Xia Ju bring the toothbrush that he ordered people to make before, because he will not get toothpaste, he let people get some honeysuckle, mint, orange peel, sun-dried, ground into a powder, and green salt mixed together, as toothpaste to use.
”You give me a good look, this is a toothbrush, hold it in your hand, dip it in some tooth powder, these put it in your mouth, keep brushing your teeth, clean your teeth ……” In this way Li Chengqian took a group of little princesses, little emperors, and taught them how to use a toothbrush to brush their teeth in the back garden of his East Palace.
But for the two little ones, Li Chengqian didn’t let them brush themselves, but hand in hand in teaching.
After brushing little Yi’er and sending her off to play, Li Chengqian pulls Li Chuan, who is just over 4 years old, over to his side to brush his teeth.
Li Chengqian was a bit puzzled that Li Chuan would come over, after all, his brother Li Ke hadn’t even been here, but the boy was dragged over by Li Qi, and wasn’t afraid to see him, sweetly calling out to him as big brother, and looking around curiously.
Li Chengqian immediately loved his tiger-headed younger brother, after all, compared to the pit brother of the little fat Li Tai, and mischievous Li You, Li solemn do not know how well behaved.
