Chapter 1261: Yellow Rice and Brown Sugar Porridge

Yang Huairen hugged his two sons, he was very happy, maybe all the troubles would be solved naturally as they are now.

When He Zhiyun gave birth to a child, Yang Huairen said "It's hard", this time Tie Xiangyu gave birth to a child, Yang Huairen said "I'm tired!" ”

The implication may only be understood by the parties concerned.

Rice porridge was boiled in the kitchen, so that Tie Xiangyu, who was tired for a whole day, could replenish his strength, but when the porridge was fed to his mouth, Tie Xiangyu's face seemed to be a little not so good-looking.

Yang Huairen was a considerate man, and he bent down and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong Yu'er, but the taste of rice porridge is too weak?" If you want to eat something now, the official will make it for you. ”

Tie Xiangyu looked happy, but the porridge was ordered by her mother-in-law to be boiled, and she was always a little worried that if she was so disgusted, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be unhappy.

Yang's mother Hachi smiled, "You child, tell your mother what you want to eat, and your mother will make it for you by herself, you are the hero of the Yang family, how can you blame you for a bowl of rice porridge?" ”

Tie Xiangyu smiled embarrassedly and said to Yang Huairen, "I don't know what's wrong, I want to eat yellow rice porridge from my hometown." ”

Mother Yang was happy when she heard it, "Cough, what is my mother, isn't it just a bowl of millet porridge, my mother will go and boil it for you." ”

Mother Yang was so real, but Tie Xiangyu couldn't help it, and hurriedly gave Yang Huairen a look.

Yang Huairen didn't plan to let his mother cook porridge, so he quickly grabbed his mother, "Mother, I'm good at this kind of thing, you can watch your grandson here." ”

After speaking, he helped Tie Xiangyu lie down, folded the quilt, smiled warmly, and then turned around and walked the door.

Although Tie Xiangyu is a person in the rivers and lakes, she used to have the same personality as a man, but it was all a strong woman who she forced out in order to support the entire Longmen Dart Game.

In fact, every woman's heart is soft. She married far away in the capital, homesick, and missed the most simple food in her hometown, which was due to her temperament.

Yellow rice, also known as millet and millet in grains, was one of the most common food crops in ancient China for thousands of years, and because the heat and taste were not comparable to rice and wheat, it gradually withdrew from the stage of the staple food of the Chinese.

However, because millet is easy to grow, it does not need to be taken care of, and it is still very common in the rural areas of the north, and in later generations, because people are tired of eating rice and noodles, it has become a kind of coarse grain that is sought after by people.

The same is millet seeds, grown in different places, and the taste is also different, since Tie Xiangyu misses her hometown, what she wants to eat should be the millet in her hometown Hanzhong.

This is not difficult, now there are a lot of people who come and go between Hanzhong and Yangjia Zhuangzi, Yang Huairen has already ordered someone to bring some Hanzhong millet over, that is, to prepare Tie Xiangyu for homesickness that day, and make her some hometown food to satisfy her hunger.

And because Tie Xiangyu had just given birth to a child and needed to supplement nutrition, Yang Huairen felt that he couldn't simply boil a pot of millet porridge, but prepared several other ingredients suitable for women to nourish blood and qi.

So he thought of yellow rice and brown sugar porridge.

The method is very simple, a pot of water boils, wash the yellow rice, boil it over high heat again, change to medium heat and boil slowly, add peanuts, red beans, wolfberries and jujubes, boil until the yellow rice becomes soft and glutinous, the porridge begins to gradually thicken, and then use the millet flour and starch to mix into the juice to thicken the yellow rice porridge.

Many people will find it strange to thicken the porridge, but in fact, this is a very common skill for boiling porridge, which can not only make the porridge thicker and more sticky, but also add some other grains to the fragrance.

The most peculiar thing is that the porridge with thickened thickeners has a shiny luster, and the porridge will freeze when it is cooled, so it will change from porridge to porridge jelly, which is also very delicious.

The last step in making yellow rice and brown sugar porridge is to add brown sugar, the sugar is heated quickly, and it should be stirred constantly to prevent the brown sugar from being heated unevenly and producing a mushy taste.

At the same time, the final stirring also made the viscosity of the porridge rise further, and the porridge was immediately put into the bowl when the pot was raised, and it was accompanied by the old hen soup that Yang's mother had already instructed the cook to prepare.

Yellow rice and brown sugar porridge boiled a big pot, the women in the family naturally everyone has a share, Tie Xiangyu naturally likes it the most, Yang Huairen personally sat on the edge of the bed to feed her porridge, a spoonful, the sticky yellow rice porridge stuck to the spoon.

Tie Xiangyu looked at the familiar yellow rice, smelled the familiar smell, and it was the man she loved who served her to drink porridge, not to mention the sense of happiness.

Porridge into the mouth, the taste is not like ordinary rice porridge, Yang Huairen specially boiled this bowl of yellow rice brown sugar porridge, bright color, itself appetizing, after blowing cold, the porridge began to freeze, it does not taste like porridge, there is a sticky taste of yellow rice.

The sweet taste of brown sugar and the sweetness of red dates are fused together, which is another sweetness, smooth and not warm, red beans and peanuts are already soft and glutinous, with the unique taste of yellow rice, so that the real mouth is full of the strong fragrance of grain.

What's more, in addition to being delicious, yellow rice and brown sugar porridge is also very nourishing, especially for women, it has the effect of nourishing blood and qi, which can make Tie Xiangyu not only replenish physical strength, but also let the body get the most simple nutritional supply.

Tie Xiangyu ate eighty percent full, and then she didn't want it anymore, at this time she felt warm in her stomach, and her body had some strength again, and the whole person felt much more comfortable and relaxed.

Yang Huairen put down the porridge bowl and spoon, carefully helped Tie Xiangyu to lie down for a while, and pulled the thin quilt to cover her.

In such weather, Tie Xiangyu naturally felt that it would be very hot, but Yang Huairen still coaxed her, saying that a woman must not get cold after giving birth, otherwise she will leave a bad root for the rest of her life.

Yang Huairen also understands Tie Xiangyu's feelings, his body can't get cold, but his head will still be very hot, and his forehead and the back of his head are still sweating frequently.

Yang Huairen got up again and went back with a cloth towel with clean water, which became a square, and gently wiped the sweat on Tie Xiangyu's forehead and neck.

Tie Xiangyu was very moved, and she was also glad to have found such a good official, she said with affection, "Thank you official." ”

Yang Huairen smiled faintly, "Family, there is no need to say thank you." Even if you want to thank you, I should say thank you to you, it will already be a very hard thing to raise a big and strong person in the future, and now you have to add one more big cow, you will be very tired. ”

Tie Xiangyu was already older than Yang Huairen, so she naturally knew more about human feelings, she understood the deep meaning of Yang Huairen's words, so she replied, "Raising your child to grow up, whether it is a concubine or not, is a matter within the status of a concubine."

And please rest assured that no matter whether it is a big cow or a big strong, as well as a big official and a small fish, the concubines will treat them like officials, because they are all children of our Yang family. ”
