The glutinous rice chrysanthemum cake made by Grandma Liu is not only sweet and delicious,

And the appearance is extremely good, its appearance is crystal clear like ceramic jade, and it looks like a beautiful handicraft from a distance.

Eat in the mouth and melt in the mouth, full of fragrance, the old man's cooking skills are good Everyone knows, I didn't expect Grandma Liu's pastry making skills to be so exquisite, it was really beyond Zhang Feng's expectations.

But after thinking about it, I was relieved, the two old men have been together for decades, and Grandma Liu's cooking skills will definitely not be bad under the influence of hearing and seeing, and it is reasonable to make such delicious pastries.

"Hahaha, it's so fragrant, the old woman is making pastries again??" I heard the old man's hearty laughter from a distance.

"Hehe, grandpa's nose is still so ......," Liu Yiyi said with a smile.

"Can he have a dog's nose?" Grandma Liu quipped with a smile.

"Hehe, I've been a chef all my life, can I do it with a bad nose?" said the old man who walked in with a birdcage, and there was a starling in the cage.

"Well, it's delicious, today's chrysanthemum cake tastes better, and the chrysanthemums used shouldn't be simple. The old man washed his hands, immediately tasted a piece and commented.

"Yes, I saw that Xiaofeng's chrysanthemums bloomed so well, so I remembered to make some glutinous rice cakes. Grandma Liu said with a smile, Zhang Feng's wildflowers are blooming so brilliantly and well, it would be too wasteful if they were not used.

"Oh, if it's the chrysanthemum of the Komine family, it makes sense. The old man smiled and turned to Zhang Feng and said, "Xiaofeng, your wildflowers are so good, haven't you thought about how to use them?"

"Aren't all those flowers planted for ornamentation?" Zhang Feng asked without knowing why, he hadn't thought about it before, and he didn't know how to use these wildflowers.

"Hehe, you guy has such a good flower and doesn't know how to use it, it's just a terrible thing, for example, the best wild chrysanthemums in the flower garden can be made into chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum tea, especially chrysanthemum tea, which is a good thing to clear heat and detoxify, and it is very good to drink a few cups of detoxification and beauty occasionally. The old man shook his head and felt that Zhang Feng had really ruined a good thing.

"Chrysanthemum tea? I haven't done this?" Hearing the chrysanthemum tea, Zhang Feng was also a little moved, but unfortunately he didn't have the skills, and he couldn't make chrysanthemum tea with a good flower.

"Hehe, it's not difficult to make chrysanthemum tea, but it takes a lot of effort and patience, and if you want to learn it, the old man can teach you. The old man said with a smile.

"Really, when do you have time, I really want to learn. Zhang Feng was very interested in chrysanthemum tea, and when he heard the old man's words, he immediately asked excitedly.

"Haha, old man, I don't have time at any time, if you want to, let's go now. The old man said with a smile.

"That's a real bother. Then Zhang Feng hurriedly walked home with the old man.

……

"These two people are really, why are they running so fast. Grandma Liu saw the hurried backs of the two, smiled and said to her granddaughter: "Yiyi, you bring some glutinous rice chrysanthemum cake over, and let your aunt and Xiaoqin taste it." ”

"I know grandma......" Then Liu Yiyi took the glutinous rice cake on a plate and walked towards Zhang Feng's house.

On the other side, Zhang Feng and the old man had already arrived in the courtyard.

"Old man, what do you think you should do in the first step??" Zhang Feng hurriedly asked as soon as he arrived at home.

"Hehe, let's not worry, I'll tell you about the process of making chrysanthemum tea first......"

First of all, the first step is: pick chrysanthemums to dry

Clean up the picked flowers and remove some useless branches. Put it in a cool place to dry, don't put it in the scorching sun or a place with a large temperature difference, which will affect the quality of flower tea. Just dry until the flowers are dry.

Step 2: Basket and steam the flowers

Use the steamed flower plate prepared in advance, put the sun-dried flowers on the steamed flower plate, the stamens are up and down, evenly arranged, the thickness of 3 cm is the best, too thick is not easy to steam.

If you use a small stove to steam flowers in the water of the iron pot after boiling, put in two or three steaming flower plates, and cover the pot. The fire of the steamed flowers should be strong and even. Steam once and add hot water once. There should be less water at the bottom of the pot, otherwise the water droplets condensed by the steam will affect the quality of the tea.

The duration of the disease is about four or five minutes, and if the steaming time is too long, the flowers will get wet, soaked, and it is not easy to dry. In short, it's not good to be too raw or too cooked. When it is first released, the petals do not stick to the steamer, and the color is grayish-white, and it becomes reddish-brown for a short time when the wind blows.

Step 3: Sun-drying This is also the last step.

The steamed chrysanthemums are spread out under the scorching sun and exposed to the sun for three or four days. Be careful not to flip the chrysanthemum if it is not dry, and don't press it when you take it at night. Turn over once after three days of drying, dry for three or four days, before and after a total of about seven days, put away and hide for a few days, and then take it out and spread it out for one or two days, the heart of the flower is completely dry and hard, and you can store it.

"There are only a few steps to make chrysanthemum tea, in fact, it is very simple, now let's start picking flowers...... Xiaofeng, go get a few baskets to ......"

"Old man Haole......" Zhang Feng listened carefully to the old man's explanation, and the rest is practice, only by doing it himself can he find out where he doesn't know.

Zhang Feng has the most chrysanthemums in his garden, and the two of them only picked a small half and had two full bamboo baskets.

"Okay, Xiaofeng, these are enough, it is estimated that you can't drink it all in a year when you make tea, and you can't drink more chrysanthemum tea, especially people with yin deficiency are better not to drink it, drinking it is not good for the body." The old man explained with a smile.

"Knowing the old man, is it time to clean up the chrysanthemums next?"

"Yes, we have to get rid of all the straw that we don't have......"

When Zhang Feng and the old man were busy making chrysanthemum tea, Liu Yiyi came to the door of Zhang Feng's house.

"Auntie, sister, this is the glutinous rice chrysanthemum cake that my grandmother just made, how about you taste it." Liu Yiyi smiled and handed over the chrysanthemum cake.

"Hehe, thank you so much......"

"Ah, Grandma Liu's craftsmanship is so good, and the chrysanthemum cakes she makes are so beautiful......" The eldest sister looked at the jade-like pastries and admired them in surprise.

"Hehe, Sister Qin, try the pastries made by my grandmother, it's delicious. Liu Yiyi was also very happy when she heard Zhang Qin's appreciation.

"Well, the taste is also super good, how did Grandma Liu make it, it's so delicious......" took a bite gently, melted in the mouth, and the mouth was fragrant and delicious.

"Could it be that the chrysanthemums you picked just now were used to make this?" After eating the unique chrysanthemum fragrance of the pastry, the eldest sister reacted and asked.

"yes, this is what my grandmother just made, and it has just come out. Liu Yiyi replied with a smile.

"Grandma Liu's pastries are so good, I really want to learn from her. "Zhang Qin's cooking skills have been booming recently, and now she is also very interested in making pastries.

"My grandmother will be more than happy to teach you, and I will call you the next time I come to do it. ”

"Really?"

"Of course. Then the two began to chat.
