Guozijian little cook

Chapter 159
In order to increase the gluten of the noodles, Xiao Nianzhi added a little salt into the flour.

In order to increase the transparency of the flour, a little alkaline water was added.

I didn't bring all the alkaline water I made before, but I only put some in small bottles.

This thing is used in a small amount, so you don't need to bring a lot.

After the reconciliation, during the waking time, Xiao Nianzhi was afraid that the people outside would be anxious, and the food would be cold after a long time, so he asked Yan Changxia to go out and tell them to eat first.

Yan Changxia responded obediently, and when she came back, she was still holding a bowl in her hand, which contained four cute corn balls.

This is because Yan Xingxuan specially asked Xiao Nianzhi to pretend that they would not be able to eat it.

Regarding this, Yan Changxia was still a little dazed and unable to react until he returned to the kitchen: "Sister, Uncle Wang is really promising. He is willing to give up the food. I look like I am dreaming!"

Xiao Nianzhi was amused by her appearance, and nodded her hand: "Brother still loves you."

After Yan Changxia listened, she tilted her head and thought about it. She didn't want to understand, and finally she could only nod in agreement: "It's really hard to say, it's true, hurry up, sister, let's eat first, it's not very warm in rainy days, we have to eat first." eat."

The two of them dazzled the corn balls while they worked.

The vegetable stuffing is well adjusted, even if there is no meat or eggs, but it tastes delicious and fresh, giving people a very refreshing and comfortable feeling.

The cornmeal wrapped on the outside is very thin, and it only feels a little bit when you bite it.

The corn flour that Yan Xingxuan brought was naturally ground extremely finely, so it tasted pretty good.

The main reason is that the stuffing inside is very delicious, and with the layer of cornmeal on the outside, it becomes delicious.

After Yan Changxia finished eating, his eyes were very round: "Can you still eat corn flour like this?"

The yield of corn is good, but the taste of this thing is not very good.

Therefore, it belongs to coarse grains with beans, and in many cases, it is the staple food of the poor people at the bottom.

The rich and powerful families still use white flour and white rice as their main food.

Therefore, Yan Changxia ate it once in a while and felt very surprised.

Regarding her doubts, Xiao Nianzhi smiled: "This has something to do with the practice, and it also has something to do with the environment."

After Yan Changxia listened to it, he thought about it, but he didn't understand it, but he nodded: "Yes."

She's not sure if it's right, but it's over if it's delicious!

Xiao Nianzhi quickly finished eating, and then went to work.

The soaked peony fruits were fished out, and the shells were peeled off one by one.

After Yan Changxia finished eating, she was still thinking about it. Seeing her get busy, she also wanted to help.

But she had never done this kind of work before. After peeling for a long time, it was a mess, and the pulp and core were all messed up.

Looking at her masterpiece, Yan Changxia was a little embarrassed, turned around and went to light the fire honestly.

Woohoo!

This world is really unfriendly to scumbags, she just can't learn it!

Xiao Nianzhi moved very quickly, and took out the peony pulp in no time.

The dried peony pulp is not as soft and white as when it was fresh.

It has a slight brown color, and after being soaked in water, it presents a golden and translucent feeling.

At this time, the peony flesh, which has absorbed water, becomes soft and tender again. Although it is not as fresh as it was when it was fresh, it is also very bright.

Xiao Nianzhi put them away, put them in the mortar, and mashed them into juice.

The little novice was watching, and couldn't help but want to help.

In his opinion, how strong is this female benefactor with her small arms and legs?

But looking at Xiao Nianzhi's movements when mashing the juice, whether it's strength or speed, they all seem to be at a constant speed.

The little novice was a little dumbfounded.

So, you really have a lot of strength, can't you use it up?

Who almost shed tears of envy?
The little novice turned his head silently, a little closed to himself.

Xiao Nianzhi moved very steadily, smashing the soaked peony pulp directly into juice one by one.

The mortar is not like a modern juicer, it is directly squeezed very clean, leaving only a little bit of pulp.

However, this does not affect the subsequent operations.

Feeling that it was almost done, Xiao Nianzhi looked at Laishun who was listening to orders at the door.

Laishun understood immediately, and handed over the small basket in his hand.

This is the peach blossom that Xiao Nianzhi asked him to help pick up.

There are late peaches in the back mountain, which bloom only recently.

This is what Yan Changxia said.

It rained today, and many flowers were wet and fell to the ground.

Xiao Nianzhi is in the temple, so it's not easy to pick fresh ones, it's okay to pick the ones from the ground, right?

It's just that it's a bit dirty with mud, so it needs to be cleaned carefully.

Xiao Nianzhi washed back and forth repeatedly, but also needed to control the force, don't use too much force, and rub the flowers to pieces.

She was very patient and cleaned it out quickly.

Then pick off the washed peach blossoms one by one.

These peach blossoms may be of different varieties, pink and white mixed with a very bright red.

It's as if someone deliberately left a heavy stroke on the extremely light drawing paper.

The bright red seemed to be a line drawn carelessly, looking crooked, but dotted on the pink and white peach petals, it added a lot of color to the original pure peach blossom.

The colorfulness of spring and the magnificence of summer seem to be drawn in this peach blossom.

Xiao Nianzhi quite likes this color.

Originally, the dessert she wanted to make needed roses.

But she couldn't find ready-made ones temporarily, but these peach blossoms gave her a lot of surprises.

Peach petals do not need to be too many, it is originally an embellishment.

Xiao Nianzhi prepared some tapioca flour, then put in the washed peach petals and poured in the mashed peony juice.

There is pulp in it, but it doesn't affect it, but it will add a little taste to it.

As long as most of it is smashed out of the juice, it will be fine!

The ratio of peony juice and cassava flour can be quantified and also depends on the texture.

Because it needs to be kneaded into cute little balls later, so how to match it depends on how it is more convenient to operate.

In order to make the taste better, Xiao Nianzhi also added some sugar into it.

After the peony fruit is dried, the sugar is enough, but because it was soaked in water before, the sugar lost a little.

Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi made up some more.

After all, Aunt Yu is not feeling well, so she still needs to be more caring and careful in taking care of the sick.

Seeing Xiao Nianzhi making small dumplings, Yan Changxia was ready to move again.

This thing is actually quite easy to rub. It was the first time for Aunt Yu to rub pearls with her hands, and she rubbed them very well.

Therefore, it's rare for Yan Changxia not to be frustrated, following Xiao Nianzhi's guidance, she was able to make the little round balls very cute and round!
The kneaded small dumplings are mostly snow white, with gorgeous peach blossoms wrapped in the middle, which look very cute and aesthetically pleasing.

Looking at the finished product she rubbed out, Yan Changxia stomped her feet uncontrollably: "Wow, wow, sister, I'm so good!"

She was a little excited, her voice couldn't be controlled, and then it spread out.
