Chapter 30: Stir! Stir!
Whoever sees the conversion flower for the first time will think that it is a very strange flower, and the same is true for Wen Erya, before she can ask, she saw Poplar take out a bottle of white yogurt-like substance from the box, and an empty bottle, oh no, she walked in curiously and found that there was something in the empty bottle, two drops of blood.

Wen Erya: "......"
Is this to be candy or alchemy?
When all the ingredients were neatly arranged, and the pots and pans needed were found, Poplar pulled out a note from his pocket, and the note said the process of making orange candy that he had written down last time.
Wen Erya was like a cat full of curiosity, quietly walked over, picked up the note and looked at it, well, the process is relatively normal, it shouldn't be alchemy, it's just ...... What is the blood of the Candy Folk written on it?
Could it really be blood in that empty-looking bottle?
Wen Erya blinked her big eyes and looked at the aspen who was soaking in the gelatin slices, seeing that he was so serious, she didn't ask, and decided to wait and see.
Poplar didn't explain anything, first soaked the gelatin slices in cold water as the little bread said, then took the note from Wen Erya's hand, pondered it carefully, found a relatively large glass bowl, pulled off the two petals of different colors of the conversion flower, and tried to mash them.
Wen Erya asked, "What kind of flower is this flower?" What a strange petal. ”
Poplar pinched the petals and was thinking about things, and when he heard Wen Erya's question, he replied, "It's a conversion flower, it's strange, isn't it?" A friend of mine gave it to me as a necessary item to make candy. ”
When pulling the petals off, the aspen was very sensitive to find, I don't know why, the two red and blue petals seemed to sense the imminent life, and did not continue to fight for each other's territory, the junction of the two colors is no longer intertwined, but has become a straight line, I don't know how straight it is, it looks straight.
This discovery only flashed in his mind, and Poplar didn't think much of it, throwing the petals into the glass bowl.
Wen Erya asked next to him, "What did he tell you about the ingredients and process on the note?" ”
Poplar nodded: "Yes, he said that this candy is strange, and I want to give it a try, so I said it was an experiment earlier, hahaha." ”
When Wen Erya heard this, she cautiously asked, "It sounds so scary, will it explode?" ”
Seeing her joking seriously, Bai Yang couldn't help laughing: "Yes, you take Brother Mao and run!" ”
Saying this, Bai Yang suddenly found that he had not seen Brother Mao's figure and asked, "Where is Brother Mao?" Why don't you see it? ”
Wen Erya said: "I ran out to play after lunch at noon, I don't know when I will come back, as long as I am not at school, it doesn't dare to run too far." ”
Poplar sighed, he had finished the crushing work of converting flower petals, he was still worried that such two small petals should not be able to pound out how much juice and moisture came out, but it made him a little surprised, he didn't know if he didn't pound it, he was shocked when he smashed it, and he squeezed out a bowl of juice at the bottom.
The juice was set aside, and the gelatin slices over there were also soaked, and the aspen took them out one by one, squeezed out the water, and set aside for later use. The white powder is also blended into a homogeneous liquid.
And then there is-
Fire!
Because his mother is a chef, Poplar has also learned a lot of skills since he was a child, although candy is not in his recipe, but compared with other dishes, the candy making process is still very simple, Poplar has kept the process in mind, when to put something, how much, how much heat is needed, and there are some clearer ideas.
That's what makes him better than the guys in the discussion group who failed to make it.
And I don't know why, after the conversion flower was mashed, Poplar always felt that the air in the kitchen was very equal, yes, very equal, not much anywhere, no more, just right, up and down, left and right, heaven and earth, yin and yang, are extremely harmonious, such a feeling is sudden, very wonderful, but let Poplar suddenly have great confidence in the next candy making.
Turning around, Wen Erya was still standing by the kitchen door, and Bai Yang asked: "It may be more greasy to wait, do you want to go out first?" ”
Wen Erya was eating Mei, damn Mei, she waved her hand and said jokingly: "No need, you do yours, I want to take care of my kitchen, what if it is blown up by you?" ”
Poplar smiled embarrassedly.
Turning back, the smile was gone, and Poplar's expression immediately became very serious.
My mother once told him that cooking is the art of burning, just like a tryst with your lover, you have to be a little presumptuous, put a little into it, to enjoy that romantic and creative process, the process of cooking is the process of pursuing women, the fire is lit, the dry wood is blazing, it is on the verge of triggering, and you should flirt with it, so when will you bring a girlfriend back?
Ay!
I accidentally thought about a few more words.
Poplar smiled lightly, felt that the heat was almost over, and began to cook the legendary orange candy.
Because there is no need to put oil, the gooseberry jam is the first to be put in, then the sugar and salt, and the white sugar and salt sent by the seaweed are very fine, so fine that the aspen can't tell which is sugar and which is salt, and he only dared to put it in the pot after smelling it.
After a little stirring, it's time to add the maltose.
The bread did not tell everyone when to put it in, which needs to be felt by the cook, this time, Poplar's experience in cooking with his mother for several years helped, and seeing the right time, Poplar immediately poured all the maltose into the pot.
And then......
Stir again!
Stirring also requires effort, not just stirring can be successful, the speed of poplar stirring is not fast, because the heat is not big, he feels that he does not need the speed of multiple pieces, then it is better to slow down.
Slow work makes fine work.
Immediately after that you need to put in the white powder, and convert the sap of the flowers.
Because of the importance and rarity of the conversion flower, when this step was carried out, Poplar was very serious, his eyes were about to pop out, and he had been observing the reaction in the pot, and when he felt that the syrup concentration of maltose was just right, the mixture of white powder and water had been slowly poured into it, but ......
Can't stir yet!
There is also the juice of the transformation flower waiting for the journey of water and fire!
Into!
Keep stirring!!
The heat is still so big, but after the juice of the conversion flower is poured in, the scene inside the pot suddenly changes, and the original light-colored juice suddenly splits into two from the middle, becoming red and blue, the two colors are evenly matched, and will not change the distribution and state of the color because of stirring, which makes Poplar begin to doubt his unicorn arm, and has an illusion that he is not stirring.
It's not scientific.
Isn't it supposed to be stirred and stirred, and the two colors will be mixed together?
Thinking so, Bai Yang hadn't forgotten the next steps, he was still stirring, and at the same time, he asked Wen Erya to help bring the bottles of the two candy clans far away, Wen Erya was stunned when she caught a glimpse of the scene inside the pot, and then took out her mobile phone very excitedly.
The blood of the Candy Folk and the sap of the Candy Tree are also blended with the friends.
After these two things were put in, the scene inside the pot slowly but surely changed.
The red and blue colors gradually blended together, and with the stirring of the poplar, it gradually became transparent, and the color gradually transitioned to orange, which was not much different from the production process that the bread said, and the aspen thought calmly, is this a success?
Isn't it simple?
Why didn't anyone else succeed?
Maybe it's because he's a genius in the culinary world.
Alas.
It's cold in the heights.
Poplar began to think crankily.
It's just that his right hand is still stirring steadily.
Just as it was about to end, a familiar dog barking suddenly came from outside the door, and Brother Mao came back in a dashing manner.
Footsteps are getting closer.
Brother Mao is running happily towards the kitchen, it has already smelled a particularly sweet smell, is it the beautiful owner's newly bought dog food? It's May 20th in a few days, and it's exciting to think about the fresh dog food available so early.
Brother Mao's saliva flowed.
However......
There was a desperate voice in the kitchen.
The voice was particularly familiar, it seemed to be the creamy teenager from two days ago, and Brother Mao heard him ordering his lovely owner.
"Quick! Close the door! Don't call Brother Mao in! ”
Brother Mao watched its lovely hostess close the kitchen door, and accidentally almost hit the door, and the little guy was immediately angry!
it!
Dare to eat dog food behind my back?
