The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 216: Candy House

Yun Yanhui was summoned to the palace, and saw a group of small radish heads, all of Zhao Youwu's little friends, and Zhao Zongshi was there.

We are all acquaintances. When they saw Yun Yan returning, they rushed forward, hugging their hands and hugging their thighs.

"Senior brother—" Zhao Youwu stood outside and stretched out his hand to watch Yun Yan return.

Yun Yanhui picked up Zhao Youwu and let her sit on her arm, "His Royal Highness, I heard you were looking for me?"

Zhao Zongshi tugged Yun Yanhui's sleeve, "Yan fat, I heard that the tables and chairs in Taozhiyao are all made of sugar?"

Zhao Youwu also blinked, "Brother, take me to see it!"

As soon as the two of them opened their mouths, the other kids started to fry and discuss.

"...I heard that tea cups are also made of sugar. Pour water into it and you can drink sugar water."

"Then I can eat the table? Haha."

……

I don't know who is so imaginative. When they make up such urban legends, children's thinking is the most jumping. They really believe it, and they add a lot of details to their own brains.

Yun Yanhui couldn't help crying and laughing, how rich he is to be able to build a house out of sugar.

Yun Yanhui explained seriously: "My little friends, I didn't make a house out of sugar, but made everything in the house in the shape of sugar. Those who tell you this may be wrong. , misunderstood."

The children all looked disappointed, "What? Isn't there..."

"Why, don't you guys sell sugar? Why don't you make it with sugar?"

"That's right, it would be great if there was such a house."

Zhao Youwu took Yun Yan back's hand, "Senior brother..."

Yunyan trembled, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Zhao Youwu said very cutely: "I want a room like that, I want to sleep in it, if not, can you help me make one? Dad said, just tell you what you want. "

Yunyan replied: "..."

This is not good, such a habit is very bad! What kind of daddy, what bad habits did he teach, is the emperor amazing? !

……Wow, that's amazing.

Yun Yanhui wiped her tears in her heart, "His Royal Highness, it's not that I don't want to, but we don't have this craft now, and it's too labor-intensive and waste of money..." A simple person like Renzong, no matter how much he favors his daughter, it's impossible to agree. .

Halfway through he said, he found that Zhao Youwu's eyes were full of tears, and the children beside him were disappointed.

If the princess got it, they would still be able to rub off. If the princess can't get it, then they have no chance.

However, Zhao Youwu is still very sensible and authentic: "Dad said it's not good to waste, then I don't want it."

Yun Yanhui felt that the next words were a bit difficult to say, so she said politely: "Although we can't do a big one, but we can do a small one, how about it?"

Zhao Youwu: "Small? How small?"

"It's just that big..." Yun Yan returned to compare the shape of a Cuju ball, "After doing this, everyone can eat it while playing, so it won't be wasted."

Let's do the next best thing, that's fine too.

Zhao Youwu hugged Yun Yanhui's neck and said, "Senior brother, when will you deliver it?"

"Is the princess in a hurry?" Yun Yan asked back with a smile.

Zhao Youwu pouted and said, "Last night I thought I could see the house today, but I couldn't sleep..."

"Then I'll ask someone to bring the materials, so we can do it together." Yun Yan suggested back, "It's like a water plant tank and a construction sand table, the difference is that this one can be eaten."

The children's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Really?"

"Okay! Let's make a palace for His Highness together!"

Yun Yan Hui secretly wiped away her sweat. Tao Zhiyao didn't study anything like a candy house. It would take at least a long time to come up with a work that would satisfy the princess.

But coaxing the children to do it together is different. According to Yun Yanhui's experience with children, even if it is a little ugly, they will like it very much... and don't do his business at all.

Yunyan sent people to inform Tao Zhiyao's candy maker to bring the ingredients and tools to the palace. Here, I asked the palace people to prepare a large low table and wash the hands of the children.

Once the stuff arrives, you can start making it.

Melt the sugar, add some eggs, divide into portions, let it firm up a bit, and shape into different shapes.

You can use aids such as rulers and scissors.

Yun Yanhui and the master were just tutoring by the side. These children each had their own division of labor, and they also discussed color matching.

The color of the walls of this "house" is reddish-brown, and it can be decorated with cream, sugar **** of various colors, etc. Zhao Youwu even squeezed out a panda cub and said it was her pearl.

Since there are pandas, let's make two more bamboos and place them on a large flat-rolled sugar cake.

After heating it up at the end, it becomes a playful candy house.

Yunyan praised them in return, "You can't keep this for too long, let's eat it together later."

"I'll show Daddy first." Zhao Youwu said, "Let Daddy see the house we made."

In fact, everyone is very reluctant, but it can't be wasted. And anyway, except for Zhao Youwu, other people can't stay in the palace, and it's just one day to get along with this candy house. It's better to eat it than to keep it.

Zhao Youwu asked someone to invite Renzong over. Renzong was very happy when he heard that his daughter had a handicraft work. He came to take a look and praised him a lot, "Xiao Ba is really ingenious!"

Zhao Youwu embarrassedly said: "I did it with everyone..."

Yunyan replied, "Everyone is smart and skilled. Guanjia, do you want to take the first bite?" He added in a low voice, "Before doing this, everyone washed their hands."

Renzong's expression was suddenly a little distorted, Yun Yan didn't mention it, he would not have thought of this. He has seen children play with this kind of thing, and they are all pinched and pinched. What if they don't pay attention to hygiene and wipe their snot on it?

The more reassured Yunyan returned, the more worried Renzong became!

But in the face of his daughter's expectant gaze, Renzong struggled for a while, but decided to believe them, grabbed a piece of "bamboo" and put it in his mouth.

These ingredients are all prepared by the master, and the taste is naturally no problem.

"It's delicious, Xiaoba is really amazing." Renzong took "Zhuzhu"'s head off and handed it to Zhao Youwu, "You also have a bite."

Zhao Youwu was stunned for a moment, then cried out, "Dad, why did you cut Zhuzhu's head!"

Renzong: "..."

Renzong couldn't argue, "Isn't this... candy..."

He thought Zhao Youwu would like to eat pandas himself!

Yun Yanhui broke the panda's body off and asked Renzong to string the head and body together with a small stick, "Look, this is a panda lollipop."

...that's a solution.

Zhao Youwu hesitated for a moment, then accepted, took the stick, licked the candy and said, "Daddy is bad..."

Renzong laughed embarrassingly. When he was with his daughter, he was just an ordinary father, and there would be times when he was helpless.

Everyone eats this candy house, but it's still a bit big. After each person divides a piece, half of the palace is left.

Yunyan replied, "Children can't eat too much candy, and you can't eat the rest. Why don't you give it to those who appreciate it?"

"Okay," Zhao Youwu agreed first, "but, who is the one who appreciates it? Can I give it to the people in my palace?"

Zhao Zongshi licked a candy pillar and said, "Why don't we give it to people outside the palace. Last time my mother bought me a box of candy, and I gave it to the children I met on the street, he said. Neither he nor his friends had ever eaten candy, and it was the first time he ate candy."

Actually, Yun Yanhui also wanted Zhao Youwu to donate it, but Zhao Zongshi didn't expect Zhao Zongshi to be so eloquent.

When Zhao Youwu heard that there were still people who had never eaten candy, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then give it to those children who have never eaten candy."

Renzong's eyes showed relief. He was very satisfied with his daughter's kindness and Zhao Zongshi's kindness.

Because there is no good news after Cao's entry into the palace, some people suggested that the clan's son be brought into the palace for rearing. I heard that it can be brought. Another implied meaning is that if the official family can’t always give birth or raise a son, having a clan son who has been brought up by himself can be considered as an alternative.

Cao's side is very caring, she also told her mother that she would bring her niece to the palace, so as not to be too embarrassed by Renzong, she just said that she was here to accompany her.

Renzong has been hesitating who to let into the palace, so he has invited children from various families to play in the palace these days. Now that he sees Zhao Zongshi, he thinks this is a very good child. If he picks up someone, pick him up Enter the palace.

Today, the fruits of the children's labor, the remaining half of the palace, was sent to the outside of the palace and given to the children of poor families.

Although only half of it is left, in the eyes of those children, it is more beautiful than the candy in Taozhiyao. There is no such candy house in Taozhiyao.

Also, this was given to them by Her Royal Highness, the princess is so kind.

Many children who have never eaten candy are drooling. There are many of them, and they eat the candy house separately, and each person has a small piece. The taste has been remembered many years later.

Even in the future, many of them can afford Taozhiyao's candy, but this is still the sweetest taste they have ever tasted.

……

After Yun Yan went back, she told Shuang Yi about this.

Shuang Yi was very emotional. When he was a child, he couldn't eat any good food at Salesian Village. After moving out, his family was also difficult for a period of time. Shuang Yi still remembered that Zheng Ping would occasionally bring fruit back, and she ate it very cherishly, a packet could last for a long time.

At that time, Brother Yan was already an adult. He always said that he didn't like to eat, and then pushed her to eat.

But they are still better than those poor people. At least Zheng Ping can make money and buy snacks. She is much happier than those children.

Being so touched, Shuangyi instructed the people in the shop to build a candy house every month, and in the name of the princess, distribute it to the children in Bianjing City, so that those children who can't afford candy also have the opportunity taste.

The story spread later, and gradually it became a story with a beginning and an end.

It is said that the Eighth Princess heard that it was New Year's Eve, but many children could not afford candy, so she asked Renzong for some raw materials, made a beautiful candy house by herself, and then asked for it to be given to the people.

Renzong admired the princess's actions very much and ordered her to be delivered to the people, saying that everyone in the world was his subjects, so they should have candy like his daughter. One day, every family in Da Song will have a box of candy on the table during Chinese New Year.

Motivated by the kindness of the princess, a businessman donated candy, so the business was better, everyone was happy.

—— Later, a courtier flattered and told the story in front of Renzong.

Renzong's first reaction was not to be happy, but: This story was not made up for marketing by someone surnamed Yun, right? !

Renzong's skeptical look made the courtier think he was angry, and quickly pleaded guilty.

Renzong didn't punish him, he just muttered in his heart that it was all Yun Yanhui's fault, which made him more and more suspicious, and he couldn't listen to the story with confidence. He always felt that there was someone behind the story... …
