Ghostly Fragrance [COMPLETED] [UNEDITED]

Rouge Fruit Cold Jelly

Fangsu began plucked off all the Rouge Fruit of the branch, cleaning them off from the possible dirt and bugs that still remained on the plants. Sorting through berries, Fangsu separated all the edible ones from the ones that were rotten or eaten by bugs. The rotten Rouge Fruit along with the unusual flower petals from the distilling process could be used as fertiliser, for growing plants instead of chucking them and wasting valuable usage of them. Fangsu left some Rouge Fruit on the side.

Fangsu poured all the rest of the edible Rouge Fruit into a pot, bringing into a boil and simmered it until it became a jam-like consistency. Stirring the Rouge Fruit until the seed was easily able to be scooped out, Fangsu left behind the delicious softened Rouge Fruit. Fangsu added some rock sugar into the pot of boiling Rouge Fruit to sweeten it before jarring up the jam into the container and leaving them to cool. Fangsu took a spoonful of the jam, giving it taste before serving it. The warm jam sat on Fangsu's tongue staining her pink lips to a cherry red hue as she ate the sweet jam, approving of the taste Fangsu decided to move onto the next step.

Taking the bag of Nicandra Physaloides, Fangsu rubbed them in her hands breaking the dry exterior to allow the seeds to fall out, occasionally unripe fruits of the Nicandra Physaloides came out to reveal a small hard but green fruit. After Fangsu separated the remains of the dry plant and ripe fruits from the seeds, Fangsu wrapped the Nicandra Physaloides seeds into a cloth, placing it in a bowl of water and kneading it until it turned the water white. Fangsu realised she had forgotten one ingredient, "Da Fu! Can you ask someone to get some quicklime powder for me?" Fangsu called out to Da Fu, who immediately went to ask a spare employee to buy some.

While waiting for the quicklime powder to come, Fangsu took eight spare empty jars from the storage room. The jars, however, were dusty from being unused. Fangsu cleaned them using some water before filled half of the jars with the remaining Rouge Fruit that Fangsu left on the side, adding a few pieces of rock sugar and filling the rest of the jar with glutinous rice wine. The tart rouge fruit would add the flavour to the alcohol making it into Rouge Fruit Wine. Fangsu decided to leave the six jars of wine in the kitchen until she finished making the dessert. After a while, a servant came running into the room with a package of quicklime, who Fangsu thanked gratefully for their service. After the servant gave the package of quicklime powder, they went to go back to their station, "Wait!" Fangsu stopped the servant and went to a grab a jar of wine, "Take this with you and share it among all the workers, but you have the ferment it for a minimum of 6 months before you can drink it." The servant was able to refuse the gracious gift from their mistress, but Fangsu quickly pushed the servant carrying the wine, out of the kitchen.

The servant was stunned to have received a precious gift from the mistress. To the servant, Fangsu was a kind-heart soul even that she thanked a lowly servant like them. In their heart, they vowed to fulfil any request that the young miss would ask. They ran to their co-workers, sharing the news about the Young Mistress's kind actions and gift. They all cry in their hearts, the mistress was like a fallen deity that had been punished by God for sympathises with humans. Vowing in their hearts, they would serve the young mistress to their fullest capability and protect her from danger.

Fangsu's reputation has risen greatly among the workers in Blossoming Fragrance without her knowledge.

Fangsu opened the package to reveal the stark white powder which would help make her dessert. Pouring the quicklime powder into another bowl of warm, Fangsu mix it until it had merged with the water. Then she poured the quicklime water into the Nicandra Physaloides water, mixing them together until it became a jelly-like consistency. She began cutting up the jelly into pieces that could be scooped up. Fangsu grabbed 5 bowls from the cupboards from the kitchen, spooning the jelly into the bowls, with a spoonful of the Rouge Fruit Jam and some dried fruits or peanut toppings.
