Guozijian little cook

Chapter 39 Rubbing Pearls

During breakfast, Aunt Yu said that there is fresh milk in the cafeteria today, if Xiao Nianzhi wants to eat, he can go over and ask for it.

There is fresh milk, and now there are brown sugar, tea...

Wouldn't it be a pity not to make a milk tea?

Thinking of these, Xiao Nianzhi took action.

Afraid that the milk in the cafeteria would be dumped to the pigs and sheep in the backyard, Xiao Nianzhi went there first.

As soon as she heard that she wanted milk, Aunt Ye filled a basin for it.

Afraid that Xiao Nianzhi would be difficult to carry, Aunt Ye smiled and asked: "Let me carry it for you, it's not too far away."

It was just a pot of milk, Xiao Nianzhi was still able to handle it, thanked Aunt Ye, she walked back slowly with the pot almost full of milk.

At this moment, the students are taking their monthly exams, and the academy is very quiet.

But on the way, I ran into those wild cats that my aunts mentioned, including raccoon cats and big oranges, but they ran away quickly after seeing people, and they were very vigilant.

Xiao Nianzhi had things in his hands, so he didn't even think about touching them.

So, after looking at it, he took the milk and went back to the backyard.

Today is sunny, and Aunt Yu is reading in the yard.

Seeing Xiao Nianzhi coming back with milk, she hurriedly stood up and asked with a smile: "What are you going to do? Do you want me to help?"

Xiao Nianzhi originally wanted to say no need, but he was afraid that Aunt Yu would be bored by herself, thinking that it would be nice to have one more person for the job of rubbing pearls, so she brought Aunt Yu along.

For pearl milk tea, the milk tea is easy to stir-fry, the milk is ready-made, and the pearls are the worst.

The main ingredients for making pearls are brown sugar and tapioca flour, which Xiao Nianzhi already has.

When boiling pearls, the heat should be well controlled, and the ratio should be fine, otherwise, it will not be easy to condense and rub out, and finally put it into milk tea, it is easy to melt directly into one piece.

Xiao Nianzhi often rubs pearls by himself, so he has a good grasp of the ratio.

Under normal circumstances, the ratio of brown sugar to water and tapioca flour is about [-]:[-]:[-].

There is a slight difference, it does not affect, but too much will not work.

The main ingredient still depends on the gluten of cassava flour to condense into beads.

Aunt Yu has never eaten this kind of food, nor done this kind of work, so she is still a little curious to get started.

She is a waste material in the kitchen, so she doesn't know the truth about seasonings and the like, so she doesn't ask much.

Xiao Nianzhi boiled the brown sugar first, add water at a ratio of [-]:[-], boil the brown sugar, and cook for a while, when the stickiness of the spoon in his hand is almost thick, he can add tapioca flour.

At this time, the point that needs attention is that the cassava flour must be added when the water is boiling, and it needs to be stirred while adding.

Otherwise, the pearls will not coagulate.

Xiao Nianzhi's movements are very quick, after all, she has cooked many times, even if the pot is changed, the heat is different, but after coming here, she probably knows how many times she has used this kind of stove.

When the brown sugar is boiling, there is a faint sweet fragrance in the air.

Aunt Yu liked to smell it very much, so she raised her nose quietly and quietly inhaled the fragrance in the air.

After the cassava flour was added, the sweetness was covered up a lot, but it soon became sweet again.

After mixing the cassava flour until there are no grains, Xiao Nianzhi turned off the fire, scooped the dough onto the chopping board while it was hot, sprinkled a layer of cassava flour, and started kneading the dough.

At this time, the temperature of the dough is very hot.

However, this step needs to be done while it is hot, otherwise...

When the temperature drops, the pearls are not easy to rub.

Aunt Yu was watching, and couldn't help exclaiming: "...Hey, it's hot!"

While speaking, she wanted to step forward, but Xiao Nianzhi had already rubbed it quickly, and at the same time shook her head indifferently: "It's okay, this step has to be rubbed while it's hot, otherwise it will be more difficult later on."

Aunt Yu doesn't understand, but just thinking about the temperature makes me feel...

hand pain.

But Xiao Nianzhi rubbed his face without changing his face, Aunt Yu felt that this little girl is a big deal!

Not to mention anything else, as far as this pain-bearing skill is concerned, ordinary girls are incomparable.

This is a tough and tenacious little girl, and the more Aunt Yu looks at her, the more she likes her.

The dough is kneaded quickly and the air bubbles are squeezed out.

Xiao Nianzhi kneaded the dough into thin strips the thickness of a finger, and then cut them into small pieces.

It doesn't have to be small, but it doesn't look good if it's too big.

Although there are no straws nowadays, if you want to drink milk tea, you still have to rely on a bowl, but the rub is too big...

I always feel that it affects the aesthetics and taste.

After the small dose is cut, the next step is a very important step.

Roll into a chubby little fat man!
At this step, Aunt Yu can start.

This step is not difficult, as soon as Xiao Nianzhi explained it, Aunt Yu understood.

Two people rubbing, the speed is still fast.

Soon, a large ball of noodles was kneaded into round and lovely little pearls. In order to prevent sticking, a layer of white tapioca flour was applied on it, and the whole picture of the pearls could not be seen for the time being.

But soon, Xiao Nianzhi cooked them in the pot.

The hot water and high temperature took away the light layer of cassava flour on the outside, and slowly revealed the brown-red fat man inside.

One by one was boiled plump, plump and lovely.

After cooking on low heat for a long time, Xiao Nianzhi turned off the fire after seeing that the skin became more and more crystal clear, then fished out the pearls, put them in cold water, and set them aside.

For this step, the two of them have been busy for more than half an hour.

Aunt Yu was already sweating, but this was a novel experience for her.

Not annoying, even a little addicting.

Rubbing pearls is so much fun!

Next, there is no need for Aunt Yu to stir-fry tea and sugar, Xiao Nianzhi can quickly make it by himself.

After the tea leaves and sugar go through the fire and high temperature, the fragrance comes out immediately.

The aroma of tea is long and long, and when it is paired with sugar, it adds an attractive sweetness.

Anyway, Aunt Yu couldn't refuse this kind of sweetness!

At this time, as soon as the sweet fragrance came out together with the lingering tea fragrance, Aunt Yu couldn't sit still.

The white sugar melted slowly until it was fried until it was caramelized, then Xiao Nianzhi added the milk, then stirred and boiled.

The slightly cool milk dilutes the strong aroma before, but as the temperature rises, the aroma of milk, tea, and sweetness collides and shakes, and slowly floats out of the pot.

Aunt Yu felt that these scents mixed together seemed to stimulate more alluring flavors, which made her unable to resist poking her probe into the pot.

Then, he was hit by the hot air of strong fragrance!
Xiao Nianzhi thought she was in a hurry, so she quickly looked back and said comfortingly: "You can drink it soon, aunt."

In fact, it is a bit hot, and it will taste better after cooling down.

Aunt Yu was a little embarrassed by the words, but thinking about it, there were only two people, master and apprentice, what was she afraid of?
Moreover, Xiao Nianzhi's cooking is so good, why is she so greedy?
Shouldn't it?

She is a normal person, and she has a normal reaction to delicious food!

So, no shame!
