When Yan Jiuchao returned to the manor, Yu Wan was no longer in the house. She had gone to the kitchen to work. She was learning to make rose brine from the chef.
She only knew about this rose brine thanks to Madam Du. That day, Madam Du's rose brine had fallen to the ground at Tianxiang Restaurant. She could still feel her mouth watering when she recalled the fragrance of the rose.
Uncle also knew how to cook, but he could not get such high-grade ingredients in the countryside. Only Uncle Wan, who loved to plant flowers, would build a greenhouse in the Young Master Manor to raise roses.
It was not difficult to make rose brine. She washed the fresh petals clean and dried them. She spread them in the bowl, layer by layer of petals and sugar, until the bowl was filled with them. Then, she used a stone pestle to smash the flower paste into sparkling lumps. A bowl of sweet and delicious rose brine was completed.
