NOVEL NEXT Chapter 63 Yam Porridge
At Xu's hour, Liuxiang Snacks was closed, and Shui Xi and Lou Lan'er hid in the store, waiting for the female assassin to appear.
After hiding for two quarters of an hour, the female assassin appeared. Unexpectedly, she went into the kitchen and actually brought a plate of fish bream and ate it alone.
Lou Lan'er took advantage of her to relax her vigilance while eating fish, and placed the scimitar she carried with her on the female assassin's neck.
Ma Xi lit the oil lamp and stepped forward. She was dressed in black and not masked. She was a young woman.
"Who are you? Why did you steal my fish bream? You must have eaten the drumsticks of the beggar chicken today too!" Lou Laner shouted!
The female snitch wiped her mouth and said, "I never fight with others when eating. Can you two ladies wait until I finish this plate of delicious fish bream?"
"Did you hurt Brother Mu today?" Putting the oil lamp close to the female assassin's face, she was sure that this was the same female assassin who hurt Mu Zhiyuan today.
Lou Lan'er put the knife close to the female assassin's neck and said, "Speak quickly!"
"I was ordered to attack him. Now that I have won the bid, my mission is completed. Isn't it the antidote? Here it is for you!" After saying that, he threw a bottle of antidote on the table.
Mao Xi picked up the antidote and looked at the female assassin: "You really are the antidote."
"I swear on this plate of fish bream, this is the antidote. If you are poisoned by me, without the antidote, even if you use other medicine to suppress it, you will not survive for ten days. Why don't you take it to your brother Mu?" "
"I'll take it to Dr. Zhang for examination. Lou Lan'er, please keep an eye on her first."
"I've given you the antidote, can I eat?" The female assassin looked dissatisfied, with a small piece of fish stuck to the corner of her mouth.
After Doctor Zhang examined it, he confirmed that it was the antidote, so Shu Xi and the doctor sent the antidote to Prince Jia's Mansion.
Butler Wang was on the side, worried: "Miss Miao Xi, dare I ask if this antidote is reliable?"
"Steward Wang, Doctor Zhang has tested it. The poison is very powerful. Let's give it to Brother Mu first."
After taking the medicine, Mu Zhiyuan gradually regained consciousness: "Water..."
The maid hurriedly came forward to serve him, bringing him water and serving him.
Seeing that Mu Zhiyuan's condition had improved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where does this antidote come from?" Butler Wang was suddenly confused about the origin of the antidote.
Mao Xi pulled Butler Wang aside and said, "Steward Wang, I don't know why the female assassin was given the antidote so readily today. She kept mumbling about 'mission accomplished' just for a plate of pickled fish and bream. So he gave me the antidote.”
"Where is the female assassin now?"
"While Liu Xiang was having snacks, Lou Lan'er was looking at her!"
In order to find out the motive of the assassination, Butler Wang and Shu Xi returned to Liuxiang Snacks.
Unexpectedly, the female assassin had taken advantage of Lou Lan'er's relaxation and escaped with a plate of fish bream.
"What about the female assassin?" Shui Xi asked Lou Lan'er.
"She ran away while I wasn't paying attention and took away our plate of pickled fish and bream."
Mao Xi was also puzzled: "Just a plate of pickled fish and bream? According to what she said today, she seems to particularly like the food in our store."
"What characteristics does she have? Is she tall or short?" Butler Wang asked the two of them.
"He has a well-proportioned figure and looks about the same age as Lou Lan'er." Shu Xi recalled.
"I remembered that when she was taking the fish, a black orchid tattoo appeared on her wrist." Lou Laner recalled.
"Black Orchid Tattoo!" Butler Wang and Lou Lan'er said in unison.
There was no time to think too much. Mu Zhiyuan had detoxified, so Ma Xi immediately bought some yams from the mall, cooked "yam porridge", and returned to the palace with Butler Wang.
Yam porridge is easy to make and nourishes the stomach. This was a method taught to her by her colleagues before time travel when she was busy at work and had irregular diet.
Peel the yam, which is as white and moist as jade. Add water with rice and millet to make porridge. Although it is simple, it nourishes the spleen and stomach. It is called "fairy porridge".
"Old slave, thank you, Miss Shu, please come with me to see the prince." Butler Wang wanted to bring Shu Xi into the house.
"Since Brother Mu is fine, I will go home first and come back tomorrow."
Mao Xi then returned to Liuxiang Snacks and returned to Liujia Village with Lou Laner.
Lu Da and the others learned that Mu Zhiyuan was out of danger and Chou Shi fell asleep.
The next day, Mao Xi was in the store, taking the time to make "Jujube Yam Cake" with yam and red dates. Seeing this, Lou Laner joked: "Ah Mao, is this a new pastry to be sold in the store, or are you making it specially for Brother Mu?" ah?"
"We have them all. We don't sell mooncakes and glutinous rice cakes anymore. We have to get new pastries!" Ma Xi's face turned red, just like the red dates she peeled off.
She first steamed the red dates, peeled and cored them, and then pressed them into puree with a spoon.
Lou Lan'er stepped forward to help, pressing the steamed yam while it was hot with glutinous rice flour into a paste.
Mao Xi took out a large bowl, first spread a layer of yam paste, then a layer of red date paste in the middle, and finally added a layer of yam paste to cover it.
After the jujube paste and yam cake is unmolded from the bowl, cut into cubes and roll it in grated coconut. This can prevent the pastry from being sticky and make it more beautiful, and also adds a coconut flavor to the yam cake.
As soon as the yam cake was ready, Mao Xi put some in a food box and sent it to the palace.
Butler Wang: "Thank you very much, Miss Mao Xi. Your Majesty has taken the antidote and yam porridge that Miss Mao sent and you are much better now."
When Mao Xi came to the palace, Mu Zhiyuan was still asleep on the bed. Seeing that he was okay, he left the palace.
Outside the house, she met Master Mi Yuan and Su Xuexue who came to visit.
Su Xuexue was holding a basket of soiled yams. When he saw Mao Xi carrying an empty food box, he stepped forward and asked, "Mai Yatou, you have come to see Amu. How is his injury?"
"Hello, Su Xuezhui. Brother Mu is fine. I just gave him some yam cakes."
"Yam cake?" Master Mi Yuan's eyes lit up: "Millet girl, do you still have any in your store?"
"Yes, Mr. Mi can come and taste it when you have time. Did you dig these yams freshly from Xuexue Su?" Shui Xi said, staring at the yams in Xuexue Su's basket.
Su Xuexiu touched his long beard and said with a smile: "Hahaha! Millet girl, you must have made yam porridge for Amu. I grew these yam in my own garden. You can come to my garden to visit someday." two?"
"Su Xuexue invites me to go there. Is Xiaodouzi still serious about studying in the academy recently?"
"He is talented and intelligent. Little girl, don't worry too much. Bring your little sister with you on the next holiday. I will make braised pork for you to eat!" After Su Xuexue finished speaking, he and Mi Yuan entered the palace.
In the afternoon, Mao Xi took time to take care of her own vegetable garden. The yams in the vegetable garden were growing well. She dug some out and was about to take them home and wash them to make yam cakes.
When passing by Brother Chunsheng's house, he was stopped by Aunt Shen.
"Ah Mu, I heard from Xiaodouzi that Ah Mu was poisoned? Are you okay now?"
"Much better. I'm about to make some jujube and yam cakes for him."
Aunt Shen took out a few pieces of her homemade yam cake from the house. The yam was stuffed with a layer of sweet potatoes and rolled up like a donkey rolling around. It looked very appetizing.
"I steamed this yam cake with sweet potatoes and gave it to Ammu. It's good for the stomach."
When Mu Zhiyuan lived temporarily at Mao Xi's house as Mu Yuan, he often helped Aunt Shen with farm work, and she always remembered it.
"Okay, ma'am, I'll send you with you later."
"By the way, Ah Mu, the ancestral hall has been renovated. Our village will hold a temple fair after the autumn harvest this year. You must remember to call Amu too! It will be lively then."
"Okay, I will definitely bring him."
