Chapter 249: Millet Rice Crust
After the rectification, Lin Xiaomi's life became more comfortable. San Ya would occasionally tell her angrily that there were rumors in the mansion that she was narrow-minded and jealous, but she didn't care. Is it magnanimous to send your husband away personally? How many women gritted their teeth when looking at concubines? Are they dignified? They can't control their men at all, there is nothing they can do.
"Don't pay attention to these things. They are jealous of me and envy me."
"Madam is right. The prince values you more than anything else. San Ya, in the future, don't go out to ask about these things. Just serve the madam well." Daya taught.
"Know it."
In terms of stability, Daya is indeed more stable than Sanya in recent years.
As Xiao Ran was about to take the imperial examination, Lin Xiaomi asked the embroiderer to make him two thick windbreakers. The outside was made of gorilla felt, with a thick layer of cotton inside. After the lining was sewn, a layer of black rabbit fur was added.
The nights in September were very cold, and it would start snowing in October. The examination halls were drafty and leaky, and the gorilla felt was both a good protection against rain and snow and a good way to keep warm.
She drew a picture of the shoes. They were cotton slippers with heels and a layer of short grey rabbit fur inside. They were soft, warm and easy to wear. After he entered the examination room, he could change into comfortable home shoes to answer the papers.
"Magpie, tell them to make a few more pairs according to this pattern. Do you have any good leather?"
Good leather? The prince gets a new batch of leather every year.
"Some ladies, there is still half a snow fox skin and some black bear skin scraps left from last winter. There are also other skins left."
"Use the black bear skin material to make two pairs of cotton slippers according to the old man's size. I will also make two pairs for Dad, Mom, and my brothers. The young master will make three pairs. The good skins should be used by the elders first."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Ran's heart softened as he listened.
After the people left, "My Lord, when you take the exam, you can change into the shoes I prepared for you. They will definitely be comfortable and warm."
"Let them make it and bring it to me to try."
"Ah."
Lin Xiaomi took into consideration that Xiao Ran would eat mostly dry food during the exam, so she soaked some millet. She crushed the millet after soaking for a day with a rolling pin, then mixed half of it with flour, eggs, salt, a little bay leaves, and ground star anise, kneaded it into dough, and added brown sugar and honey to the other half, kneaded it into dough with flour.
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into thin sheets. The thinner the rice crust, the better the taste. After rolling, cut it into small squares with a knife. When frying the rice crust, the oil temperature should not be too high. Put it in the pan when it is about 50% hot and fry it slowly over medium-low heat.
Fry until the rice crust is shaped and the color changes slightly, then take it out and fry it again when the oil temperature rises to 60% hot. The re-frying time should not be too long, about one minute is enough. Drain the oil and let it dry.
The golden, crispy and delicious millet rice crust is out of the pot!
If you like spicy food, you can sprinkle some chili powder to make it more delicious. You can add your own flavor to the rice crackers according to your own preferences.
She made this for Xiao Ran to relieve her fatigue when she was tired from doing homework at night. It was salty, fragrant and crispy, and the more she ate, the more delicious it became. She ate more than ten pieces before she stopped.
Lin Xiaomi brought the plate of millet rice crackers to the table and said to Xiao Ran, "My Lord, come and try the millet rice crackers I made and see how they taste."
Xiao Ran put down the book in his hand, walked to the table, picked up a piece of rice crust, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
"It tastes good, crispy and a little sweet." Xiao Ran praised. He prefers salty food.
"I'm glad you like it. I made it specially for you. You've been studying hard, so you can have it as a snack at night. You can also have some to relieve your boredom during exams." Lin Xiaomi said with a smile.
Xiao Ran looked at Lin Xiaomi, and a warm feeling rose in his heart. He took Lin Xiaomi's hand and said, "Thank you, Xiaomi."
The two of them sat at the table together, tasting the millet rice crust...
"Daya, ask the kitchen to select some good-looking radishes, cabbages, and day lilies, blanch them in water, and dry them in the sun. Cut the radish slices thinner."
"Yes."
"Let them wash some rice and dry it out. I'll need it tomorrow."
"Yes."
In the afternoon, she continued to stay in the kitchen. Today, she was going to make sesame and walnut paste.
Crack the walnuts, take out the walnut kernels, and fry them on low heat until fragrant. Also fry black sesame seeds on low heat until fragrant. Pour the fried black sesame seeds, walnut kernels and brown sugar into a mortar and grind them into powder.
"Take these back to my room and make a bowl for the prince in the evening."
"Yes."
She had really considered making instant noodles before, but Xiao Ran said that all food would be broken up and inspected, so she gave up the idea.
Tomorrow, make him some oil tea noodles to try. Choose the ones he likes and make more for him to eat during the exam.
Xiao Ran's exam concerned the entire Marquisate. In his generation, the Xiao family had never produced a juren.
"Ran'er's wife, I heard that you have been preparing food and supplies for Ran'er's exam recently."
"Yes, mother, I feel sorry for the prince who can only eat some broken cakes during the nine-day imperial examination, so I thought of making some food that can be stored for a long time, is easy to digest, tastes good, and can be brought into the examination room."
"What have you done?"
