Chapter 339: Try making snacks
At the same time as Fujin, Mrs. Chen was busy trying to make snacks. She likes to make snacks the most, and when she saw the thick snack books and photos of the snacks she gave her by her daughter, Mrs. Chen was really dazzled, and she didn't know which one to start with. It was Yun'er who personally operated the Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles that she learned from her eldest sister, and led the old lady to the road of snack trial. After that, I couldn't take it away, and I had to make one or two things every day and give them to my husband, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and Fujin. Like Fu Jin, she crossed the threshold of simplifying words, copying several recipes from books with traditional Chinese characters every day, trying and practicing repeatedly.
Mrs. Chen's personality is the same as Yun'er's, she doesn't need Sven at all, just take it and do it. During the trial process, it was really steady and steady, and I didn't panic at all.
Mrs. Chen's maid Feng Mama is a keen cooker, and the two maids sent to Mrs. Chen by Fujin, Yang Er and Liu Er, are also very interested in cooking. How can the speed of the spread of skills in that era be compared to the exotic exploding of knowledge? I don't know how much Master Yun made the recipe for the snacks for the old lady Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen was so busy that she had to cook a few fresh foods every day. As long as people are in good health, they like food, if there is a condition, who doesn't like to make good food?
In order to let her mother smoothly enter the trial of snacks, Yun'er first gave the special snack recipe of Kaifeng in her hometown to the old lady. First of all, there is a very famous Xiaolong soup dumpling in Kaifeng later generations. Xiaolongguan soup dumplings have a history of 100 years in foreign lands, but not in the Qing Dynasty.
Yun'er instructed Mama Jiang in her yard to prepare pork hind leg meat, small grinding sesame oil, and ginger, and then moved the exotic soy sauce, cooking wine, monosodium glutamate, refined salt, sugar and other seasonings that would often be used in the future in the hall downstairs. In the old lady's small kitchen, mix the meat filling according to a certain proportion, add a small grinding sesame oil and stir well, and then mix the noodles and wake up to teach the old lady to make steamed buns. Each steamed bun is eighteen pleats, and the steamed buns have thin skin and large filling, and the soup is oily. After the finished product is out of the cage, it is lifted like a lantern, and it is put down like a chrysanthemum, and it tastes fragrant and has a very aftertaste. Then it was operated by the old lady herself, and the steamed Kaifeng soup dumplings were not inferior to Yun'er's at all. After tasting by the first taster Yun'er's father, son, and Yu'er's daughter Rui'er, the evaluation was: delicious, delicious, so delicious!
Next time, Yun'er will teach Mama Jiang and Mama Lin in her small kitchen, and taste them together with herself, Ling Juan, Yu'er, Shui'er and others, and come to the same conclusion as Daddy and Shizi, and then make them and send them to Fujin Courtyard for Fujin to taste. The conclusion was that Fu Jin very unceremoniously ordered: "Give me the formula!" ”
In addition to the soup dumplings in Kaifeng, there are also Ma Yuxing's "bucket chicken", three fresh lotus cakes, bangbang chicken, carp baked noodles, chrysanthemum hot pot, Kaifeng ramen, double hemp fire and other snacks with hometown characteristics. Yun'er gave the queen mother 300 taels of silver to try to make snacks with 1,000 taels of silver that the queen mother gave her, as well as ready-made recipes. Mrs. Chen, who has always had a preference for making snacks, worked hard to learn how to make snacks. When it was done, I thought it tasted good, so I sent it to my daughter and Fujin to taste it. I think it's very good, even if I pass the test, I will teach it to the chefs of future restaurants and restaurants in the future.
Jingqi Mama Wang and Song are the nannies who take care of the children, and they have no opportunity to participate in learning to make snacks, so they must stick to their posts. They have tasted the buns, and they are very greedy for this cooking skill, but they can't learn it. Fu Jin had already changed his opinion of Ling Juan, and the two of them still regarded Ling Juan as a hypothetical enemy. Ling Juan hugged the baby Beibei, and they all excused themselves to fall asleep and didn't hug them.
Mrs. Chen was already a little dissatisfied with the two grandmothers: If Mr. Ling didn't have the skills to give birth, he would still have to ask for food for you, so he didn't teach them how to cook. They can't fault the courtesy. Originally, the monthly routine of being Jingqi's mother was already very high, and her job was to watch the children. Throwing the little master aside to learn art is not doing his job? So they can only dry their eyes. Even if you sue Fujin, there is no good reason. The two of them muttered behind their backs, a little regretful that they came here to see the children: all the maids and women in the house are learning skills from Mama Xi, and with more skills, there will be more jobs. Everyone is making roasted wheat buns, sack bags, fungus or something, and the two of them are staring at each other. But they dared to tell Fujin that they didn't want to take care of the two little masters, and the next thing was to roll up. Let Fujin give ten taels of silver for nothing every month?
Snacks generally refer to a variety of flavored foods used as snacks and supper in addition to meals, mainly for hunger or pastime, snacks include cakes, cakes, noodles, wontons, dumplings, Lantern Festival, porridge, soup, soup and other types and varieties. The production method is mostly burning, boiling, stewing, steaming, baking, baking and other techniques, and the taste is sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, light, fragrant, and fresh, rich and diverse. For example, butter tea and cheese from Tibet, rice noodles and noodles from Yunnan, Liao pork ribs, Bangbang chicken and dandan noodles from Sichuan, canned chicken from Hunan, Sanhe rice dumplings and duck fat siu mai from Anhui, Nanxiang Xiaolong steamed buns from Shanghai, etc. Other snacks such as Beijing, Chongqing, Fujian, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Hebei, Henan, Heilongjiang, Hubei, Jilin, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Qinghai, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, Tianjin, Xinjiang and Zhejiang have their own unique flavors. Mrs. Chen's snack addiction was hung high by Yun'er, and she knew how to read, and she had to copy a few recipes from the book every day to try to make them. The eldest sister bought a lot of seasonings for Yun'er, and there are many varieties of seasonings in Daqing itself, so you can do whatever you want to eat!
After Yun'er arrived at the Exotic Society and surfed the Internet on the computer, she hurriedly checked a lot of information. According to the various manifestations of Dad's appetite discomfort, it is basically concluded that it is chronic gastritis. I also downloaded a lot of prescriptions and dietary prescriptions for gastritis from the Internet, and I want to raise my father's appetite immediately after returning home. Let him live a long and healthy life, and die without illness in the future. When my father's stomach was in Renzhi County, Zunhua, there were too many things in the yamen, and he was full, hungry, cold, and hot. For example, husbands often have symptoms such as heartburn, epigastric pain and fullness. Although chronic gastritis progresses slowly, if treatment is delayed, it can progress to the terrible situation of stomach cancer.
After the father entered the house, the prince brought Mr. Zhu to treat him. It's not that Mr. Zhu didn't do his best, it's that Mr. Chen felt that it was too troublesome for the prince. Yun'er is the prince's daughter-in-law, and all the food and clothing are raised by the prince, and she also comes to have fun. I didn't care about it, I took a few doses of medicine and said that it was okay, so I kept dragging it out.
Mr. Zhu's treatment was still effective, at least Mr. Zhu's abdominal pain and burning sensation in his stomach were reduced a lot. In addition, now that he is not on an errand in the yamen, there is no pressure on those errands, and he has his wife's elaborate diet, and he should eat at the right time, and his stomach problem has been much better. But Yun'er, as a daughter, fidgeted at the thought that the gastritis that the eldest sister said might become cancerous.
After returning home, the mountain-like goods were around me, and I also pressed them in my heart. Yun'er couldn't wait, and when she was looking for information, she paid attention to the information that Xiaoli downloaded on the Internet for her father's diet. Another symptom of gastritis is indigestion, the eldest sister said that her father is chronic gastritis, during the three years of natural disasters, not only can not eat, but also eat some coarse grain, such as wheat bran, corn with umbilicus, the stomach is even worse. If you don't take Western medicine, the side effects are too great, it irritates the stomach and intestines, and you have diarrhea all year round. I changed to take traditional Chinese medicine, and then ate roasted steamed buns and drank tofu brain all year round, and before I knew it, chronic gastritis would be cured! He lived to be eighty-eight years old and left this world in a deep sleep. Didn't let my children wait for a day in a hospital bed!
When the eldest sister chatted with Yun'er, she talked about it, and Yun'er remembered it firmly. I can't wait to bake steamed buns and make tofu brains for my dad for a while. The old lady is very happy to make such snacks, as long as it is good for her husband, she is willing to trouble no matter how troublesome!
When giving milk to the child, Yun'er told the old lady about it, although she didn't dare to guarantee that the father would be able to cure the stomach disease by drinking tofu brain and eating baked steamed buns, but tofu brain is a soft and smooth food, and roasted steamed buns are to help digestion. There will be no side effects. Moreover, Yun'er also brought back a variety of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and dietary formulas for the treatment of gastritis, and these knowledge is the hope that he can cure his father's stomach disease.
Mrs. Chen was very happy to hear her daughter say this. Who doesn't want her husband to be in good health? You can bake steamed buns in a small kitchen, and there is also a small grinder for grinding soy milk to make tofu brain. Just add an appropriate amount of plaster. The rest is the marinade. Yun'er said that she has a lot of recipes for making tofu brain marinade, and she tries them one by one, which one is delicious and which one is easy to use. The old lady is responsible for roasting steamed buns and making soy milk, and Yun'er is responsible for ordering tofu brains and making marinade. The mother and daughter made it in their own kitchen, and started the action early the next morning.
"You two, come with me to the West Annex Building to find something." Yun'er beckoned to Yu'er Shui Er and left first. She still remembers that on the day she returned home, when she was tossing the box, she saw the soymilk machine. However, this soymilk machine uses electricity, the generator is also bought, and the transformer is also available, but I don't know how to fiddle with this thing, and I'm embarrassed to keep looking for Tian Liang. It is still handmade by hand. What Yun'er is looking for is a coagulant for tofu brain: glucolactone. The tofu brain pointed out by this thing does not have the faint bitterness of ordinary tofu, and it is somewhat sour, which is not very obvious. Then there are fungus and mushrooms. Use one on the marinade. There are also starch, refined salt, monosodium glutamate, and sesame oil. Yun'er still remembers where these things were placed, and the three of them found them in the annex building where the food was loaded downstairs. It is enough to take one pack and one bottle of the same, but Yun'er took a lot more, and these starch and refined salt were left in the small kitchen for Mama Jiang to use, and the old lady had her own share. Then soak the mushrooms, pick them clean, chop them after soaking, and then fry them in a pot, add soup and stew them. The main starch thickens the soup. It should not be too dry, thick or too thin, just right is best. After the marinade is made, add salt, monosodium glutamate, and sesame oil.
The soy milk on the old lady's side was also boiled, Yun'er put gluconolactone into the soy milk with her little finger, stirred it a few times with a big spoon and didn't move, and after fifteen minutes, the smooth tofu brain was successful.
In a large bowl, slice a few slices of tofu brain, pour the marinade, and finally sprinkle with chopped coriander and shrimp skin. I like to eat spicy ones and put some chili powder, Mr. has a bad stomach, it is best not to eat spicy ones, which stimulates the stomach.
Mrs. Chen's baked steamed buns are so well roasted, very light amber, and the taste is very fragrant. Beibei's little nose is very good, and when she smells it, she asks for it from her grandmother, and her fat finger points to the baked steamed buns, "oh, oh" and nods. Mrs. Chen didn't dare to give baby Beibei a baked steamed bun, for fear of getting stuck with the child, and felt that the tofu brain should be beneficial to the child, so she was afraid that it would be salty. Taste it yourself first, it's okay, it's not salty, and scoop a small point with a ceramic spoon to Beibei's small mouth. It's bad now, it's delicious, and I'm waiting for my grandmother to feed me with my mouth open. If it's a little slower, it will "click". The child can't make him cry when he eats, and he doesn't dare to eat too much, and he won't eat milk if he eats too much. Mrs. Chen still has a very good way, giving less at a time, so Bei Bei is also happily twisting all over, and her two calves are wandering incessantly. The baby is also a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes staring at grandma's spoon.
The first time I made my own tofu brain, the effect was okay, so I asked Yu'er to take Xiao Jixiang and sent two big bowls to Wang Ye and Fujin with a food box, and the rest were divided between Yun'er Courtyard and Yu'er Shui'er and Jiang Mama in the kitchen, Mama Lin, Qing'er, Ji'er, Mrs. Chen and Xuan'er, Mama Feng and others. Even the two Jingqi Mama and Liu Er and Yang Er drank it.
Tofu brain seems to have existed in the Han Dynasty, with a long history, and it is also called tofu flower.
There is also a tofu workshop in the house, and the person in charge is Yue'er's parents, who make a few plates of tofu for the big kitchen every day, so there are times when soy milk is boiled, but I have never made tofu brain. After tasting the tofu brain made by Yun'er and others, Wang Ye Fujin gave full affirmation, saying that the big kitchen in the house can add tofu brain, and the big kitchen is responsible for it. Yun'er hurriedly gave gluconolactone to Yue'er's parents, Master Feng, in a woven bag for two people. If there are many people, a full tablespoon is enough, that is, every day in the house, everyone drinks tofu brain, and a large bag of lactones seems to be able to be used for a year. It's okay to order tofu with it, but you need to know the proportions.
Yun'er and Yu'er Shui'er also found the materials and tools for making ice cream and ice cream by the way. For example, fine sieves, ice cream molds, ice cream rods, stabilizers, emulsifiers, eggs, milk, oil, sugar four main ingredients. In addition, you can also add some ready-made juices, nuts and other foods. Such as peanuts, melon seeds, almonds and so on.
Yun'er is a quick temper, so it is impossible for her to do things slowly and leisurely, and after just a few days of returning, she thought that she would quickly teach the skills she had learned to the girls and grandmothers in the house, and then she would be able to concentrate on painting. Yun'er has surprising patience in painting, but the speed of painting is still very fast, not necessarily that slow painting is necessarily good.
Tofu brain was taught to the old lady and the people in her own small kitchen, but there are many exotic cooking methods that are not available in the Qing Dynasty. For example, fried rice, rice bowls, egg cakes, straw hat cakes, and so on. Let's just say that omelettes are spread out on the pancakes with a layer of sauce brushed with a board brush, then beaten with an egg, spread out, and rolled with shredded potatoes or bean sprouts and dried tofu shreds after cooking. She learned this by walking by a stall selling fast food. By the way, I also learned several kinds of pasta such as finger cakes, in-law cakes, tendon cakes, and hanging oven cakes. I also learned how to make snacks such as seaweed rolls, dried tofu rolls, ramen, cold noodles, knife-cut noodles, teppanyaki, and kebabs. Almost every day for dinner, I have to guide Mama Jiang, Mama Lin and her mother, Mama Feng, to cook one or two meals that are not available in the Qing Dynasty. If you eat a food for a long time, everyone will be bored, and if you change the sample, it will give people a sense of freshness and increase appetite.
Mrs. Chen made snacks to the point of being drunk, and new snacks were born almost every day. She sent the prepared snacks to her daughter and Fujin to taste, and asked them for their opinions. Fu Jin also sent the dishes he tried to Yun'er and Mrs. Chen, that is, Yun'er was in charge of the pastry that had not yet started to be made, because the kitchen was not renovated and the oven was not installed.
Tian Liang is very busy, except for being an errand by the prince's side every day, when he has a little free time, he goes to the treasury to find those small kitchen appliances that may be used at any time. For example, noodle machines, juicers, honeycomb coal machines, bean sprout machines, etc., these instruments are manual, mechanical, and do not use electricity. When I have a little free time, I use it with a tinker. Slowly, Tian Liang's equipment attracted the attention and interest of all the men in the courtyard, especially his rightful disciple Nalan Guard, who was simply fascinated by it. Every day, he rushed to use the noodle machine and asked the water to press noodles for him and noodles. The noodles are exactly the same thickness and firm. At noon, the noodles are boiled and pressed, and the soup is boiled in the pot, which is too convenient! And the bean sprout machine, which can actually control the temperature by itself. In fact, how did Nalan know that this is electric, and there is a generator behind the bean sprouts machine that is well concealed by Tian Liang. The temperature can be controlled by the disc with the word code, and the mung bean sprouts are all generally tall and straight. Of course, you have to be drenched during the period, and if there is less water, it will not work, and it will not work if there is too much. There are many layers of lattices in the bean sprouts machine, like a drawer, each layer is a layer of bean sprouts, one stubble every four or five days, and it is supplied to the big kitchen of the house for stir-fry and cold dressing.
