Chen Song said that he didn't know what the old spring was, but Song Feiquan knew that this was a very famous sugar gourd brand in the old capital era, and the hawthorn used was all high-quality Venus hawthorn, a specialty of the land of Qilu, which looked good and delicious.

"Ji Xiaolan, do you know?" asked Seinfeld when introducing the Fountain of Youth.

Chen Song smiled: "There is another allusion? This historical celebrity is busy enough." ”

Seinfeld said: "Do you think I'm making it up? What I'm trying to say is true, Ji Xiaolan really likes the hawthorn of the Fountain of Youth, and he wrote a poem called 'The Book of Life and Death Never Grows Old', and he laughed at himself that his knowledge could not catch up with the exquisite sugar gourd of the Fountain of Youth." ”

"Ji Xiaolan is a foodie, is the food list in Suiyuan passed down by him?" Luo Bufat asked.

This Chen Song didn't know, so Luo Bufat said firmly: "Yes, it was handed down by Ji Xiaolan." ”

Then Chen Song went to check and found that she was fooling herself, and the food list in the garden was passed down from the great genius of the Qing Dynasty, but it was not Ji Xiaolan, but Yuan Mei.

To make sugar gourd, syrup is necessary, and syrup is generally made of sucrose and granulated sugar, but it can also be mixed with honey.

There is good honey on the estate, so it can be made into syrup.

However, the syrup made from honey tastes different from traditional syrup, and after learning about their needs, Mr. Bruce drove to the supermarket on the spot and bought a can of maple syrup.

Iceland is home to the sugar maple, a tree that can adapt to cold temperatures and serve multiple purposes such as food, ornamental and practical, and was once one of the first important cash crops introduced in Iceland.

However, due to the survival rate, there are fewer sugar maple trees in Iceland, and there is naturally less maple syrup.

Seeing the maple syrup and honey, Wang Xiaohui was at a loss for a moment: "Ah? Do you use this? It's better to use granulated sugar and rock sugar to burn, a sugar gourd without rock sugar has no soul, because isn't it called a rock sugar gourd?"

Chen Song said: "Adapt to the situation, Lao Tie. ”

Wang Xiaohui asked again: "Then do you have any ingredients here?" such as walnuts, mountain dates, blueberries, strawberries, etc., forget it, let's make classic style sugar gourds." ”

He estimated that Chen Song didn't have these sporadic things at home, of course, who could prepare so many small things in winter if they had nothing at home?

But Chen Song just had: "Wait, what are mountain dates? No, I have all the other walnuts, blueberries, strawberries, and melon seeds, but I don't need sugar gourds." ”

"We have a lot of melon seeds here. Luo Bingxin grinned.

Wang Xiaohui's face was happy: "Who said that you can't use it? Yes, can you use it, by the way, are there black beans and red beans? It will be better to make some bean paste and put it in a sugar gourd." ”

"This has to be. Chen Song had to thank Zhu Kaibo, and Lao Zhu gave him a lot of miscellaneous grains.

Luo Bufat and Mrs. Emma went to make bean paste, and Wang Xiaohui led people to clean up the hawthorn.

The most common sugar gourd can be directly strung with a bamboo skewer and rolled a layer of hawthorn syrup, and the hawthorn core must be removed if it is slightly higher.

Chen Song said that I, who must have eaten hawthorn without a kernel, began to attack hawthorn.

This is also very simple to deal with, just cut off the hawthorn waist with a knife and cut out the core.

But Wang Xiaohui taught them a better way, use a knife to circle around the hawthorn, and the depth reaches the blade to feel the hard hawthorn core, and then use two hands to squeeze the upper and lower parts of the hawthorn respectively, and finally the entire hawthorn core is squeezed out, simple and beautiful.

"But it's okay to cut it, but don't cut it off, it's not easy to deal with. After cutting it, cut out the core, leaving the other side of the flesh together, and then sandwich a blueberry or a slice of strawberry inside to make it richer. Wang Xiaohui taught carefully.

Chen Song slapped the table: "That's it." ”

Brother Bai saw that they were cleaning up the hawthorn and sat down slowly, Brother Dao was very eye-catching, it wanted to drag Brother Bai away, but Brother Bai slapped it to the crotch, and easily got it.

Chen Song pulled out Brother Dao like a radish, and he took a hawthorn to Brother Bai unhappily and said, "Forget? This is not delicious, not delicious at all." ”

Brother Bai stared at him suspiciously, whether he remembered to eat this goods.

Chen was relieved, and he took a handful of hawthorn and stuffed it into Brother Bai's mouth.

There is no doubt that hawthorn is not in the polar bear's recipe, and after chewing two bites, Brother Bai grinned and walked away, shaking his head as he went.

"It's so cute. Du Yihan said excitedly.

"If you're cute, you'll raise one. Wang Xiaohui said.

Chen Song asked in surprise: "You are true love, aren't you afraid of this beast?"

Wang Xiaohui said secretly: "She can't raise it, how can a private person in China raise a polar bear? ”

"You kid monkey spirit. Chen Song admired.

Sure enough, Du Yihan said delicately: "Husband, you are so good to me." ”

Wang Xiaohui gave Chen Song a smug look, and then smiled very gracefully: "This is what I should do as a husband, if you really raise it, then leave the shovel and feeding to me, who made me your husband?"

Du Yihan said with great interest: "Forget about raising bears, we have and can only have one foodie in our family, and that is me." But it's okay to have a dog, I decided, let's go back and have a dog. ”

"Don't, don't, I'm a phobia. Wang Xiaohui panicked.

Du Yihan was unhappy and said, "But you just said that it's okay to raise bears, why can't you raise a dog now?"

Wang Xiaohui said with difficulty: "It may be that I suddenly don't want to be your husband." ”

", do you want to divorce me if you have a dog?"

Wang Xiaohui said in despair: "I don't want to, but you want me to die, you raise a dog to force me to death." ”

Du Yihan pursed his lips and said, "It's really annoying, you're afraid of dogs." ”

Chen Song beckoned: "Hurry up and prepare the sugar gourd, the bean paste over there is about to be made." ”

"Not so fast. Du Yihan was suspicious.

Wang Xiaohui didn't want to get entangled in raising a dog and love, he said: "We can make a lot of sugar gourds today, Icelandic chocolate and cheese, right? ”

Chen Song's eyes lit up: "What a good idea." ”

Wang Xiaohui smiled, he said: "We can not only make sugar gourds, but also sugar pears, there are pears in the kitchen, right? Wanwan has a snack called black pear paste, which is to smear a layer of red syrup on the outside of the pear, but the pears they use are pickled." ”

Thinking divergently, Seinfeld even wanted to make a sugar durian, but unfortunately Icelandic durian was scarce and expensive, and she could only think about it in the end, and she couldn't put it into practice.

Soon, the bean paste was ready, and the temperature in Iceland was low, and the cooked bean paste would cool off after a short while.

This temperature also helps to make sugar gourds, otherwise the syrup would not be able to hang on hawthorn or other fruits.

The hawthorn is stuffed with bean paste, put on a string and rolled in the syrup, which is the rock sugar gourd.

They do it more carefully, sticking the syrup and sprinkling some melon seeds on it, so that it looks better.
