Chapter Ninety-Six: Candy
Hanyu didn't know much, because at that time, she was only fourteen years old, and she had just come to serve at Madame's side, and she was just a third-class girl, and she even said that she hadn't even entered that room, but she had only heard a little. Over the years, the taboo has been so great that no one dares to discuss this matter anymore.
If Hanyu didn't know, then Lin Yu wouldn't know anymore. I can only tell myself that if something similar happens again tonight, then I will say that I will have to change the yard to live.
Hanyu was very careful to ask Lin Yu about the methods of various candies, and Lin Yu slowly shifted his thoughts from the candlelight and the figure.
The sugar snowball is much simpler to make than things such as fruit dan peel and sherry ball, at least there is less steaming, filtration, boiling and other procedures.
After the two of them disposed of the hawthorn. Put some sugar in the pot and add some water to boil.
"Is this thing the same as making rock sugar gourds?" Hanyu asked.
"It's different, the rock sugar gourd highlights the word 'ice', while the sugar snowball is the word 'snow'. So the rock sugar gourd is transparent and shiny, while the sugar snowball is like a hawthorn rolling through the snow. ”
As he spoke, the water in the pot gradually evaporated, the sugar melted completely, and Lin Yu poured in a little vinegar.
"Pour vinegar to synthesize the taste, otherwise it will be particularly sweet!"
The iron pot was warm, Lin Yu replaced the pot with an unlit stove, and then poured the processed hawthorn into it, and stirred it quickly, and after a while, as the sugar gradually cooled, the syrup wrapped in the hawthorn slowly stuck to the frosting, and finally became a sugar snowball.
"Sister Lin, it's amazing!" Hanyu said in surprise.
"The sugar gourd is just rolled in the sugar while it is hot, and the bottom of the pot should be heated all the time. Sugar snowballs are not used. Lin Yu said.
"It turns out that there will be such a big difference between heating and not heating." Hanyu said with emotion.
The two of them have been making sugar snowballs. Make two dustpans and put them outside to cool.
At noon, Hanyu sent Lin Yu's four desserts today to his wife's room, and after a while, he came back to learn how to make nougat with Lin Yu.
Nougat Lin Yu uses four ingredients: peanuts, almonds, pine nuts and melon seeds. When Hanyu was asked to help fry and peel it, Lin Yu made a lot of egg whites and beat them.
Whipping egg whites is an individual job, and there is no blender at this time. With a pair of chopsticks, it kept stirring. Stirring so much that Hanyu fried all those things, Lin Yu shook off his stiff shoulders and straightened his waist.
"Sister Lin. It's amazing! How did egg whites end up like this? Hanyu took the chopsticks and put them in, but the chopsticks didn't move at all, and she turned the basin upside down again, but the things inside didn't fall out at all!
"It looks good. But I feel like I'm dying of exhaustion! It's too hard to do! Lin Yu said worriedly. It's beautiful to imagine, but when you do it yourself. It's very difficult.
"If you do it again next time, let those men do it, they have a lot of strength!"
"I think they're just a lot of power. I'm afraid that the ingenuity of this thing can't compete with us! Lin Yu said, "It's just jade." I really can't lift my hands now, you can help me make some syrup! ”
"Huh!" Lin Yu found that Hanyu had a very fanatical pursuit of food. In modern times, you can be a gourmet!
Lin Yu saw that her syrup was almost boiled, and used chopsticks to make a little bit, dripped it in the water, and immediately formed a hard lump.
"Alright, alright! Now you pick up the pot and pour it slowly into this pot of mine, and be careful not to fall into the bottom of the pot! Lin Yu first divided the egg whites into four clay pots, and then commanded.
Hanyu carefully poured the syrup into the basin, and Lin Yu's hand stirred quickly again.
Because under the basin is another large basin with hot water, so the sugar in her clay pot does not solidify quickly, but the luster on it is getting lighter and lighter, until there is no luster at all. Then Lin Yu poured the peanut kernels into it and stirred it.
After stirring well, Lin Yu poured the sugar into a plate covered with oiled paper and smoothed the top.
Then, the two of them concocted other flavors in the same way, until the last one was finished, and it was time to make dinner.
"Sister Lin, you're too tired today, don't make dinner again, I'll go and tell the young master to come to the main courtyard to eat tonight, and you can also come to the main courtyard to eat together!" Hanyu looked at Lin Yu and kept pinching her arm, knowing that she was tired today, so she cared.
"It's good!" Lin Yu is not polite, she is really tired today, and she has a good time with Hanyu, so she accepted it directly.
After a busy day, she had forgotten about the terrible thing in the main house, but when she saw Youhe's gloomy face in Qingtianju, she suddenly remembered it.
Due to Youhe's low pressure, Lin Yu could only remain silent, and even later Hanyu was worried that she would be scared if she lived alone, and when she offered to accompany her, she quietly refused.
When he returned to Cuiweiju, it was already dark in the sky, and the shadows were full of shadows, accompanied by the swaying pine wind, Lin Yu even shuddered unconsciously. So, he quickly closed the courtyard door and ran back to his house.
Xu was tired during the day, and Lin Yu slept very well this night, but when he woke up the next morning, his shoulders were very sore.
After breakfast, Hanyu came over, Lin Yu cut the four kinds of nougat that he made together yesterday, and after Hanyu ate it, he was full of praise.
"I can't believe that such delicious candy is partly my credit!" Hanyu especially likes marzipan, because this is the last one to be made, the syrup is done by herself, and she stirs it with egg whites, until it is finally put on a plate and cooled, she also made it, and she has a lot of feelings for this almond nougat.
"It's best to put this thing outside to cool, and when the time comes, it's cool and crispy!" Lin Yu looked at Hanyu's happy appearance, and he was also happy.
"Uh-huh! Sister Lin, don't worry, I will definitely take care of these things when the time comes! Hanyu nodded, "By the way, what about the sugar snowball we made yesterday?" ”
Lin Yu took back the two dustpan candy snowballs that were frozen outside, Hanyu pinched them and tasted them, and said in surprise: "It's delicious!" I think it's better than sugar gourds! ”
"Speaking of which, I think there's another thing that's very similar to this approach!" So, Lin Yu taught Hanyu to make a dish of peanut jelly beans, and sure enough, Hanyu liked it very much.
Because Lin Yu's arm hurts so much, today's dates were also completed by Hanyu alone, and she feels very accomplished.
At noon that day, Lin Yu didn't make any other desserts, so Hanyu brought all kinds of candies made by the two of them to the lady's room. As expected, Madame was very fond of these little sweets. Especially the sugar snowball, because the hawthorn is easy to obtain, Mrs. also specially instructed Lin Yu to do more in the past few days, as a reward for the New Year to the people in the courtyard.
