My aunt said that the flower cake nose below is called the flower cluster, and this layer is called spreading wings and flying double.

Then put the third layer, this time the flower cake nose is pinched into a sharp one by hand, which is called Xiantao Xianshou. On the fourth floor, you don't need to put the nose of the flower cake, just use a small flower cake to cover it tightly.

The four-layer flower cake is also exquisite, implying that the four seasons are rich.

It took more than an hour to make this flower cake, and after waking up for a while, it was put on the pot and began to steam.

It takes a long time to steam the flower cake, it takes about half an hour, and when the steam comes out, the sweet smell of the jujube wafts out.

Zhiping said happily: "Grandma, the New Year is so good, every day eats differently, everything is delicious, no wonder all the gluttons have been attracted." ”

My aunt smiled and said to her, "You're just a little glutton." ”

Zhiru said to her grandmother: "Grandma, Zhiping is a big foodie. ”

Zhiping thought for a while: "I'd better be a foodie, it's better than a glutton." ”

Yoyo really wants to ask her, what's the foodie so good. Forget it, the world of children is really not easy to understand.

There is a cage drawer at home, and I can't continue to make big flower cakes, so my aunt and uncle then teach the children to make small flower cakes. There are many kinds of small flower cakes, and my aunt has made more than a dozen patterns, from one jujube to eight jujubes, and you can create new patterns as you like.

My aunt also taught the children to make flower buns, which is to pinch sugar steamed buns into the shape of various animals, mainly pig heads, rabbits, hedgehogs, roosters, etc.

Her old man found a few sugar fire molds, put the sugar steamed buns in it, flattened them vigorously, and the sugar fire with patterns on both sides was ready, and a few red dots were dotted in the middle, which was similar to the moon cakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

You think of the colorful steamed buns of later generations, which are beautiful and rich in nutritional value. In later generations, every Spring Festival, a lot of free time was spent making these noodles.

As soon as this thought came to me, I couldn't stop it. Youyou asked your aunt: "Auntie, I want to make something different, don't be taboo." ”

My aunt asked her, "Yoyo, tell my aunt what kind of buns you want to make?"

"I want to make colored buns, green, red and yellow noodles together, which is very beautiful. ”

When the children heard this, they were all happy: "Sister Youyou, this kind of flower bun is good, let's hurry up and make it." ”

My aunt disagreed: "No, I haven't heard of using color and noodles, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't be eaten in vain." ”

Yoyo hurriedly explained: "Auntie, instead of using color and noodles, you can definitely eat spinach juice, celery juice, carrot juice and eggplant juice and noodles." ”

After listening to Youyou's words, my aunt breathed a sigh of relief: "Youyou, what book did you see here, these are all things that can be eaten, you make a little first, and then you are willing to eat more." ”

The children were curious and ready to go. The vegetables were quickly washed, mashed and squeezed out the juice, added some sugar, and had ready-made dough to make yeast.

The big flower cake is steamed, the cage drawer is lifted down, the two pots are steamed together, and the children then make the second big flower cake.

With the experience of the first one, it was much easier this time, and it only took half an hour to do it.

After making the remaining dates into small flower cakes, I began to make flower buns, and the brown sugar and white sugar in the bowl were quickly used up, and my aunt and uncle then took out two packets and poured them into the bowl.

She said happily: "In the past, when women were confined, it was good to be able to buy catties of brown sugar, but it was easy to see white sugar, and there was no place to buy it if they had money." Now as long as you have money, you can buy as much as you want, and you can't dream of a good day.

I heard that the people of the stone temple sent porridge and rice to their daughters, took 100 catties of brown sugar, 1,000 eggs, and ate eggs and drank sugar water every day, but they couldn't eat it. Today's young people have fallen into a nest of blessings.

Thirty clothes are sent for the engagement, ten shops and ten covers are sent by the wedding mother's family, forty-eight legs, and the in-laws cover the yard for the mixed turn, and they all buy it all when they turn three times, and they have everything for a lifetime. ”

You thought to herself, in the life of a young man, these things are nothing. Twenty years later, having a car and a house is the pursuit of young people.

Zhigao still has some impressions of the life that his uncle and grandmother said that they can't see white sugar for a few years, but Didi and Zhixin don't remember it at all.

However, Didi and Zhibin can still understand more or less: "Just like now, if you buy a color TV, you have to have a ticket, and if you don't have a ticket, you have to buy a high-priced one." ”

My aunt said with emotion: "Now there is no ticket to buy at a high price, and there is no place to buy it at a high price before. ”

Didi said: "Uncle and Grandma, I know what you said, you have to go to the black market to buy and sell things privately, I heard Grandma mention it." ”

The colored dough block was finally made, and the one who did the demonstration this time was replaced by Yoyo. She rolls out the noodles of various colors into thin cakes, stacks them layer by layer according to dark green (spinach noodles), light green (celery noodles), white, purple (eggplant noodles), and orange (carrot noodles), rolls them into pieces, cuts them into flower rolls, and twists them, and a beautiful flower comes out.

More than a dozen flowers were placed together, and several children were stunned.

Even my aunt and uncle said, "It's so beautiful." ”

Yoyo then used carrot noodles to knead six ping-pong ball-sized pieces, rolled five into the size of dumpling skins, staggered a quarter of the distance and stacked them, and kneaded the remaining one into long strips and pressed them on top.

Roll the dough together, press the outer dough firmly, then cut it from the middle, put it face down, and a blooming rose appears.

"It's beautiful!"

Several children did it, roses of various colors were ready, and my aunt and uncle also made two white roses.

In the end, there is less leftover noodles, and Yoyo kneades them into small noodles by hand, sticking them on the white sugar steamed buns, and the cartoon rabbit pig head is particularly cute, and the traditional rabbit pig head is a completely different style.

The children didn't have enough, and then went to pound the vegetable juice, and Zhiru went back to his room and took out all the chocolates he had stored.

"Sister Yoyo, can you make noodles when you turn the chocolate away?"

Youyou patted his head, just thinking that there was no pumpkin now, and he couldn't make yellow colored noodles, so he forgot about it: "Yes, Zhiru, you are so smart." ”

Zhiping hurriedly ran to her room: "Sister, I also have chocolate, wait for it." ”

Looking at the chocolate, his mind suddenly opened, just thinking about the vegetable noodles in later generations, why did he forget to adapt to local conditions, using cornmeal and sorghum flour, which are natural colored noodles themselves.

The amount of colored noodles is small, which is just right for children to learn to make noodles. Everyone has experienced the stupid girl mode of adding more water and more water, and the colored noodles are finally reconciled.

For a whole afternoon, a few children did not go out, digging out the hollow to create flower buns, under the intentional guidance of Youyou, all kinds of flower buns made dozens of kinds, estimated to be more than 100 catties, filled with two dustpans. The children were excited to see their work.
