Chapter 125: Three Spice Powder (Ninth Update)
Seeing that Fei Lin took out a small bowl of powder, but it smelled very fragrant, and it seemed to be clear that it was three spices, Jiang Xue asked, what is this, what is the use, is it going to be used to wrap zongzi?
She also used her mobile phone to broadcast live today, put it aside and fix it, then washed her hands, and learned to make zongzi with Fei Lin's aunt, and Chu Qian was not idle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"This is my own three-spice powder, which is specially used to wrap zongzi. As for the effect, you will know it when you eat zongzi at night. Felin said.
The people in the live broadcast room were immediately curious, they had heard of five-spice powder, they had also heard of thirteen spices, but they had never heard of three-spice powder!
The basic ingredients of five-spice powder are ground into powdered peppercorns, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and cumin seeds. Some recipes also include dried ginger, cardamom, licorice, pepper, tangerine peel, etc. It is mainly used for stewed meat or poultry dishes, or added to marinades to enhance flavor, or mixed with fillings.
Many people may confuse five-spice powder with thirteen spices, but there is still a big difference between the two.
5 parts of Sichuan pepper and large ingredients, 2 parts of cinnamon, 3 nai, tangerine peel, ginger and angelica, and 1 part of the rest, and then put them together, which is "thirteen fragrances".
It can also be used separately, such as fennel has a strong smell, which is best used to make vegetarian dishes and soy products; Angelica dahurica dahurica is used to make beef and mutton, which can remove the qi and increase the umami taste, so that the meat is delicate; cinnamon is used for bacon and boiled sausage, which can make the meat and intestines fragrant and not greasy for a long time; tangerine peel and wood fragrance are used for soup, which can make the smell elegant and fragrant, etc.
I heard the old man say that when using thirteen spices, the more the better, must be in moderation, because cinnamon, cloves, fennel, ginger and pepper and other materials, although they belong to natural condiments, but if the dosage is excessive, it also has certain side effects and even toxicity and mutagenicity, so it should be used in "rather less than more".
Lao Dao got a little, sniffed it, and frowned: "In addition to star anise, fennel, what else is there?"
This old guy is really a dog's nose! Fei Lin glared, and when he smelled it, he almost guessed it. There is another one, which is not a medicinal herb on the earth at all, and it is normal for the old Tao not to recognize it, and it is strange to be able to recognize it.
"Haha! Looking at Mu Mu's expression, Lao Dao seems to have almost guessed correctly. Awesome, awesome!"
"It's amazing, my old way!"
"Actually, there are only three spices, so it's easy to tell!"
ā¦ā¦
"There is also a medicinal herb called thyme. Felin said.
Lao Dao thought for a few seconds and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it!"
What ten miles, but I know that the farthest flower in the world with the fragrance is dozens of miles, which is a white wild rose.
Actually, there is also a nine-mile incense, as well as thyme. Nine mile and thyme are two very closely related species. The difference between the two is that the natural distribution of the nine lily is not far from the coast in mostly sandy soil, sun-loving, dry and heat-tolerant, and the plants are relatively short, but on Lantau Island, which is adjacent to Hong Kong, there are quite tall old trees, and their flowers and leaves are small. Thyme is found in the mountainous forests of the more inland areas, where the site is humid and shade-tolerant.
"Isn't there still Qilixiang?" asked someone in the live broadcast room.
"I think you're a big songwriter. ā
Upstairs, there's a song called Qilixiang. ā
ā¦ā¦
Fei Lin explained to everyone: "Actually, Qilixiang is also a plant, and its alias is Thyme! Some people also say that Qilixiang, Qianli and Shilixiang are a kind of plants. ā
"But my thyme is not like them. Ten miles and the like, all of them are wild roses. Thyme is a grass that does not bloom, but it has a fragrance, it is very light, but it can float far away without dispersing. It's a medicinal herb and a spice that I saw in an old book. Felin said to everyone.
He also promised that he would send a zongzi to ten lucky brothers and sisters in the live broadcast room, so that they could taste the delicious zongzi made of these three-spice powders.
Besides, everyone also knows that Mu Mu is a must to eat, and zongzi should not be bad, right? So, many people are a little excited in their hearts, hoping that they can become a lucky member.
How to draw lucky viewers has become a headache.
Jiang Xue suggested: "Why don't you ask who is today's birthday?"
Soon, more than a dozen audience friends sent private messages, attaching their ID cards to prove their date of birth.
Xiao Hang's little fellow, and Fei Lin's two cousins, were very fond of three rabbits, one holding a rabbit and a carrot to lure the hares and make them obedient.
And Fei Shan always wanted to get close to the clouded leopard, but the clouded leopard was impatient with him, so he simply climbed the longan tree and slept on it.
He took a lot of photos to show off to his classmates, as well as the majestic golden eagle, which attracted bursts of exclamations.
This guy just got his mobile phone, and he has already played WeChat and the like, and it seems that he has borrowed other people's mobile phones to surf the Internet at school!
After wrapping the zongzi, there were some special activities of the Dragon Boat Festival in the village, and Fei Lin and Jiang Xue also went to broadcast it live, and the audience was still very curious.
Many people live in the city, and what they see or are most impressed by during the Dragon Boat Festival is actually only dragon boat racing.
Especially in some cities in the south, before the Dragon Boat Festival, they have to get out of the water, worship the South China Sea god in the South China Sea Temple, install the dragon head and dragon tail, and then prepare for the race. And buy a pair of paper roosters and put them on the dragon boat, thinking that they can bless the safety of the boat.
After arriving at the scene, some viewers quickly recognized this kind of activity.
"Hmm, isn't this a jumping bell?
"I remember, I think I've seen it on the Loess Plateau. ā
ā¦ā¦
Fei Lin had no choice but to explain that in fact, most of the people in their village, and even the entire Yellowstone Town, migrated from the north three to five hundred years ago. As a result, some northern customs have been preserved.
In ancient times, jumping Zhong Kui was often used in the ritual of sending orphans and removing evil, and the so-called sending loneliness means sending away lonely souls and wild ghosts after Pudu, so as not to let the evil spirits stay. Now, the main thing is to get rid of evil.
Because the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone understands it as an evil day, people hold a series of activities on this day to use mascots to wall evil and sacrifice the unfortunate dead, thus forming a religious Dragon Boat Festival custom. And jumping Zhong Kui is a custom to deal with evil days, which has a history of thousands of years.
Everyone counts, in fact, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there are a lot of folk activities in China. However, there seem to be only two things left in Jinyuan Village, except for jumping Zhong Kui, which is hanging wormwood!
I have been to the Jiangsu and Jiangsu areas, and they still retain a very old custom, that is, to eat toads for children, saying that they can quench the fire and cool it, and there will be no boils in summer. In addition, on the fifth day, the ink ingot is stuffed in the mouth of the toad, and it is hung to dry, that is, it becomes a toad ingot, and it can be dissipated by applying it to the abscess. ā
ā¦ā¦
When Fei Lin heard this, it was not surprising that the toad itself was a valuable medicinal material, and it was disgusting despite its disgusting appearance, but it was still useful. (To be continued.) )
