Chapter 301: Baizi Shou Tao
Seeing her son standing there with a tangled face, the old lady waved her hand and said, "You have also worked hard, go down and rest, by the way, you send a letter to Feng'er and say that I, as a grandmother, miss him, and let him take good care of himself." ”
"Yes. The son will write a letter, and he will definitely tell Feng'er about his mother's concern, and the mother will rest well, and the son will retire first. "The third master of Yu responded, his eyes flashed with joy, his mother still misses her son very much, and she also takes care of Feng'er, and she asks about Feng'er in several letters, and if her mother asks, the eldest brother will naturally have more help, and Feng'er's life can be better.
The third master of Yu left, and the old lady sighed secretly.
"I thought so much about it, and I was said to be here just now. Now it's your turn again. Don't think about it, take care of your body, and when you get better, I'll make you something to eat. "Qiao Zhen can't bear it.
"Really?" The old lady's eyes lit up, and then she went down again, and said, "Forget it, you are bulky, don't go to the kitchen, it's not good if you bump it." You can't have an accident because of your stuttering. I'm not hungry yet. ”
"It's so squeamish." Qiao Zhen glanced at the old lady, and said: "There are more than ten days of my grandmother's birth, this time the family is ready, to treat, I also have to go, although there are a lot of gifts prepared in the house, but I want to do something by myself, when the time is ready, I will also send you a copy." ”
"Oh? My sister has a baby, and I'm sure I'll give a gift too. What are you going to do? The old lady remembered the days in her heart, and her impression of the Chen family was still good.
"I won't tell you. Think for yourself. "Qiaozhen sells off.
"Little villain." The old lady said a word, and then relaxed. The two looked at each other and smiled, but the atmosphere in the room was good.
In this way, Qiaozhen went to visit the Jade Mansion every day. Old Madam Qin slowly got better, she was able to walk around on the ground, her spirit was much better, the things she ate were slowly increasing, and her speech was almost back to normal. Recuperate slowly, after all, the old lady is old, and it is still very painful to be sick once.
I've taken care of the old lady's side. Chen's birth is also approaching, and Qiaozhen has already prepared various gifts, but in addition to these gifts, she has also prepared the same.
Longevity. Shou peach is essential. Generally, large families will prepare a big longevity peach, or some small longevity peaches, the meaning of longevity peaches is very good, so this year Qiaozhen is ready to make longevity peaches in person to add longevity to the Chen family.
And the longevity peach she wants to make is also different from the longevity peach here, it is novel. But it's also troublesome to do, so a few days before his birthday, Qiaozhen began to lead people to prepare.
The longevity peach here is made of noodles, and it is not filled, which is similar to steamed bread. It's just that the appearance is different, but what you really want to do is with stuffing. She had the stuffing ready in the first two days. There are jujube paste, bean paste, peanuts, sesame, fruits, etc., and there are 99 kinds of fillings.
The day before Chen's birthday, Qiaozhen began to prepare for the longevity peach, because if he did it that day, he would not be in a hurry, so the weather was not hot now, and it would be fine to leave it for a day.
You don't have to do it yourself, there is a cook to do it, and she can guide her.
Qiao Zhen first asked them to pour the noodles into a large basin, then poured water into it, and asked people to add some pork, and then began to stir. Stir it evenly.
Stir well, then slowly add the flour and form a dough. The dough should be kneaded smooth and delicate, without pimples, otherwise the taste will not be good.
Qiaozhen looked at it, touched it with his hand again, and felt that it was almost there, so the cook girl stopped, put the dough on the board and began to roll it with a rolling pin.
This is different from rolling noodles, not only do you have to roll it repeatedly, but you also have to fold it into three folds every time you roll it, and then cover it with a damp cloth to wake up after rolling, and it will take about a quarter of an hour to wake up.
When the time came, Qiao Zhen looked awake and nodded. Then it's to make shapes, Qiaozhen makes big longevity peaches, let the kitchen girls make small longevity peaches, there is only one big longevity peach, but the small one is ninety-nine, which is why you want to make ninety-nine kinds of filling, and the filling in each small longevity peach is different.
After everything is done, start steaming the longevity peaches in the cage drawer on the inside of the pot, and the size should be steamed separately. Steamed until the color of the peach is white, even if it is cooked, it will take more than a quarter of an hour to steam.
When ripe, take it out and put it cool, then take a small brush and start coloring the longevity peach, and dye the mouth of each small peach red.
As for the big one, just dye the gourd mouth red, and then put ninety-nine small peaches into the big peach shells, Qiaozhen put the two scoop-shaped peach shells together, and then let the cook take the batter made of Jiang rice noodles and balls boiled in water, and apply it to the seams of the two peach pots, so that it becomes a complete big peach, and after drying, it will be tightly sealed, and the seams can not be seen.
Qiaozhen looked at the finished product and nodded, the peach seat and the peach set off, there is a complementary effect, just like the real one, it looks very gratifying, everyone will like such a thing, not only the shape is beautiful, solemn, the taste is also sweet and delicious. She drooled when she saw it, and she wanted to take a bite.
"Auntie, Yingzi, you go and send this to the Jade Mansion and give it to Old Madam Qin, this is what I promised her." Qiaozhen asked Sun Juhua and Yingzi to go together to send it to the old lady, the old lady has now returned to normal, and it is okay to eat something. and Mother Yang, let them try it.
"Yes. The old slave (slave maid) obeyed. The two bowed down.
After Qiaozhen saw them leave, he started to do it again, and with the experience of the last time, this time it was more convenient and better.
Sun Juhua and Yingzi said that the old lady was very happy, and she felt surprised after reading it, so she accepted it, and asked them to say to Qiaozhen, she was going to go tomorrow, but the third master of Yu They didn't agree, and several people came to chatter, she decided not to leave the house when she was upset, she would send someone to send the gift tomorrow, and I hope Qiaozhen will not be surprised.
Qiao Zhen smiled, how could he be strange. Although the old lady's body is much better, it is better not to go, otherwise it will be chaotic to go, in case there is anything noisy, the old lady is also upset. It's better to recuperate in the house.
Qiaozhen finished the longevity peach, and put her heart at ease, the night was a good night's sleep, and she didn't have a lazy bed on the second day, after freshening up, she had breakfast with Chen Xuanyu, packed the gifts, and the two got into the carriage.
In the carriage, Chen Xuanyu let Qiaozhen lean on his arms, so as not to bump into Qiaozhen when the carriage was bumpy, Qiaozhen could protect Qiaozhen in his arms, and make a human cushion for Qiaozhen, so as not to hurt Qiaozhen.
"Shou Tao is good. Grandmother will love it. Chen Xuanyu said softly, he tasted a few small longevity peaches yesterday, and they tasted quite good.
"That is, this is called Baizi Shou Tao, which is very famous in later generations, and contains the meaning of celebrating Baizi and 100 years old. Not only is the intention good, but it is also good to look good and delicious, but the person who invented him studied for many years to become a master and created a hundred sons of longevity peach, can it be bad! ”
Qiao Zhen said angrily, after speaking, she looked at Chen Xuanyu, who seemed to be smiling, and suddenly wilted again, like a deflated ball, and muttered: "Although I am plagiarizing, but I have worked hard myself, the small peach in the Baizishou peach in the later generations is a kind of filling, which is jujube paste, some people don't like to eat, I just got ninety-nine kinds of filling, so there is always one that I love to eat, and I will like it if I love to eat." It's also an invention. It's not just about taking advantage of future generations. ”
Chen Xuanyu saw her like this, the corners of his mouth were raised, his eyebrows were raised, and he said with a smile: "You, I didn't say anything about you, why explain, I like everything you do, besides, your mind is rare, and you have to do these things with such a big belly." I'm afraid you're tired. ”
Qiao Zhen leaned on Chen Xuanyu's arms, relieved with satisfaction, she closed her eyes, and said softly: "It's good to move more, it's good to have a child if you move more, giving birth here is like entering a ghost gate, if one is not good, you will have two lives." It is not like our time, there are very few people there who have natural births, and it is generally a caesarean section, with a scalpel on the stomach, the child is taken out, sewn with beauty injections, and given anti-inflammatory injections for a few days, and it is fine. It's like here. It's terrible, it's scary to think about. ”
Chen Xuanyu hugged Qiao Zhen's hand tightly, his heart was full of puzzlement, although he heard Qiao Zhen say a lot of modern things, but he still didn't understand the caesarean section that Qiao Zhen said, Qiao Zhen said it easily, using a knife to pull his stomach, it was disemboweling, it was scary to think about it, how could she still think it was simple, where they were not very brainy, right? The nerves are definitely not normal.,But it's really clever to look at it.,How can you say something strange.,It's not boundary.。
Qiaozhen didn't see Chen Xuanyu make a sound for a long time, so she looked up at Chen Xuanyu, and knew what he was thinking when she saw his tangled expression, she snorted and laughed, and said: "It's not what you think, disemboweling will scare people to death, caesarean section is different from what you think, that is, pull it under the belly, take the child out, clean up the dirt inside, and then stitch it up, it's a minor operation, oops, I can't explain it to you, because I haven't experienced it, I just heard people say this, it's not dangerous at all, After that, some of them don't have any scars on their stomachs. Women don't want to be sinned, so they usually choose to have a caesarean section. ”
Qiaozhen's words made Chen Xuanyu even more incomprehensible, he was confused, and he was afraid that the mother would not be able to live if he opened his stomach and took out the child here, but they didn't leave a scar after that place, which is also amazing. How is that possible? He shook his head subconsciously, thinking that it was absolutely impossible, but Qiaozhen would not lie to himself, what she said must be true, what kind of world is it? Chen Xuanyu's heart was full of curiosity and yearning. (To be continued......)
