RIGHT BEFORE PRIDE MONTH ENDS—

[pi-ying-xi]

Xiaosheng is fully happy being a 电灯泡 here, and no amount of glaring from a-Jiang is going to intimidate her.

This was cute. Zhuo Lanjiang is a cutie even though his subordinates go around shutting entire streets down and tying people up so that Shangguan Zhi can question them.

[swiftletinthecloud]

The brothers Zhi Jian and Zhi Mo are so funny. 

The entire scene of Liu Yan taking care of a sick and unconscious Mu Zhuo Hua is absolutely hilarious, especially with the Zhi brothers. The three of them have no fucking clue what to do while Zhuo Hua’s sleep talking and reciting study notes in her sleep!

The brothers bursting in to protect Liu Yan as Mu Zhuo Hua’s clinging to his knee and sleep talking so they think they interrupted and are scramming out of there while in the screenshot below Liu Yan is going “no wait don’t leave me” LOL 

Liu Yan trying and having trouble feeding Zhuo Hua medicine 😆

The Zhi brothers always coming in at the most awkward moments LOL

He’s like, please help me 😭

Younger Zhi bro pushing his big bro up to bat 😆

Zhuo Hua’s finally going to get her medicine. And throughout all this, she’s still sleep talking and reciting study notes in her sleep, which the older Zhi brother points out sounds a lot like she’s subtlety dissing Liu Yan. Liu Yan’s like, no, these are actual quotes she’s reciting. 😆

Yuanxiao

The following is a recipe as presented in Tasting History by Max Miller. If you enjoy it, I would highly encourage checking out the Tasting History youtube channel or buy the Tasting History cookbook.

From History The cooking method uses glutinous rice that has been ground into a fine powder. Inside the wrapper the filling comprises the flesh of walnuts and white sugar. Water is sprinkled on the filling and the balls are rolled around in flour to form them. They are as big as walnuts. This is the same as what the people of the Jiangnan region call tagyuan -Liu Ruoyu, Zhuo zhong zhi (translated by Roy Chan)

"Yuanxiao is a ball of glutinous rice stuffed with a sweet walnut filling, but it's the source of this seventeenth-century recipe, the Zhuo zhong zhi by Liu Ruoyu, that has a story worth telling.

The Ming Court, under the teenage Tianqi Emperor, was run by a powerful and scheming eunuch named Wei Zhongxian. Powerful and scheming eunuchs were actually quite the trend in Imperial China, but none were as formidable as Wei. He, along with the emperor's nurse, Madame Ke, removed all others who held power over the emperor. Some were banished, some starved to death, and others were forced to commit suicide. The pair kept the young emperor ignorant of the goings-on in his empire while they ran the government.

During Wei's reign of terror, a young eunuch named Liu distinguished himself as an excellent calligrapher, an uncommon skill among the eunuchs of the Forbidden City. His work caught the jealous eye of the illiterate Wei Zhongxian, who, unfriendly to any he believed smart enough to challenge his power, demoted the young scribe to work in the stables. Liu toiled there for several years and added the moniker Ruoyu, which meant "the dumb," to his name to remind himself that feigning stupidity might serve him better in the Wei regime.

But the powerful eunuch eventually found a use for Liu Ruoyu's talent: forgery. Wei had procured a number of blank documents already stamped with the emperor's seal. All he required to govern with impunity was for someone to fill the documents with whatever decrees he wished. Liu was just the man for the job.

The scheme did not last long though, for when the Tianqi Emperor died at the age of twenty-one his younger brother, Zhu Youjian, came to power as the Chongzhen Emperor. Though only sixteen, Zhu had not yet fallen under Wei Zhongxian's influence, and the new emperor banished the troublesome eunuch, executed Madame Ke, and imprisoned any who had helped Wei, including Liu Ruoyu. While in prison, Liu wrote the Zhuo zhong zhi, part protestation of his innocence and part treatise on daily life in the Forbidden City. His writings included a number of recipes, such as this one for Yuanxiao."

Modern Recipe

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups (140g) whole shelled, raw, unsalted walnuts

1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted

2 cups (225 g) glutinous rice flour (sweet rice flour)

Makes 16 Yuanxiao

Cook time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts to the pan in a single layer. Heat them, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Once the walnuts are toasted, remove them from the pan and set aside on a plate to cool, about 10 minutes. Once they are cool, crush the walnuts by hand or in a food processor, until they become almost a coarse flour.

Mix the crushed walnuts, sugar, and butter in a bowl until combined. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and divide it into 16 portions. Using clean hands, roll each portion into a ball and set aside.

Fill a large bowl three-quarters full with cold water. In another large bowl, add the glutinous rice flour. Working in batches of 3 or 4 balls at a time, roll the balls in the flour until covered. Put the balls in a fine-mesh strainer. Dip the strainer with the balls briefly in the water, then return to the flour and roll again, coating completely. Repeat this process 7 to 10 times, or until there is no visible filling. Repeat the process until all the balls are coated. note that cracks may appear in the coating, but as long as the filling is not visible, that is okay.

Fill a large pot half full of water and set it over high heat. Bring the water to a boil. Working in batches, boil 3 or 4 balls until they float to the top, 2 to 3 minutes. Note that the balls will expand, so leave plenty of room in the pot. Once the balls have floated to the top, add a cup of cold water. The balls should sink a bit. Adding cold water will stop the boiling and allow a skin to form on the balls. Allow the water to return to a boil and wait until the balls float again. Remove the balls and set aside. Bring the water back to a boil and repeat the steps with the remaining balls until finished. Serve warm.

Hils Watches In Blossom - Ep 11

I love that at this point even Pan Yue finds all of Zhuo Lanjiang's attempts to woo Yang Caiwei amusing

There she is again giving gifts intended to woo her to another man. Poor Zhuo Lanjiang. His gifts get given to another man, and his attempts at a date also involve a third person

I mean that would solve a lot of problems. There's not a love triangle out there that can't be solved by an OT3 (or an OT4 if Yang Caiwei's girlfriend wants to join them)

FFS boys let's not get into competitive crime solving

Well, that's two of the murder victims that have turned out to be abusive pieces of shit. Is the killer some sort of vigilante? Is it Batman?

He about to go shake the murderer's hand (I jest)

I love that all of his suspicions seem to hinge around that the fact that Shangguan Zhi is respectful of corpses. "No other woman would be cool with dead bodies. Must be my dead wife."

I love her. She can't tell anyone she did the autopsy herself so she faked a haunting of the coroner by his former master and told him what she'd found

Pan Yue has no time for misogynistic bullshit and that is very sexy of him

Okay, Sherlock
