094 Chestnut cake
Nowadays, this season is the season to eat chestnuts, Cheng Zhaoer asked Li, people eat chestnuts nowadays, there are not many ways to eat, nothing more than raw food or cooked with water.
However, even if the taste is so simple, it is difficult to hide people's love for chestnuts, so every time the chestnuts are ripe, people will go to pick chestnuts in groups of three or five.
There are patches of chestnut trees in the mountain forest, which is not a rare thing.
Since Lu gave birth to a child, he has gained a lot of weight, his complexion is also red and moist, and the whole person is much more beautiful than when he didn't have a child.
She is indeed a blessed person, Hua now helps her take care of the little dough every day, and she doesn't have to worry about it at all. When Han Laoba and Han Shiyilang didn't have any work in the field on weekdays, the father and son went to do odd jobs together, and the family's expenses were not worried.
Although it has nothing to do with wealth, compared to people's three meals a day and the grass shed leaking tiles to cover their heads, Lu's life is much better.
The most rare thing is not these, but the harmony of this family, the harmony of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the love of husband and wife. Even Han Shibalang knows how to be polite, and he respects the eldest sister-in-law of the Lu family on weekdays. The family does not have a lot of calculations and inexplicable partiality. Probably because of this, the Lu family laughs every day, and he is happy to see people.
Cheng Zhaoer likes to be with her very much, and every time she is with her, she will be infected with joyful emotions, and her mood will soar unconsciously.
No, walking on the road, Lu began to chatter
"Zhao'er, what are you doing with so many cloth bags, I can tell you, although this chestnut is delicious, but you can't eat too much. Again. When the time comes, the two of us won't be able to hold it."
Cheng Zhaoer was also a little worried, but: "The weather is so good today, we can't take it when the time comes, it's good to see people asking them to help, and when the time comes, I will make delicious chestnut cakes for them to eat."
Lu's eyes lit up. She smacked her lips and said, "Zhao'er." Why are you so smart, why have I never heard that chestnut cake is a pastry made of chestnuts When the time comes, you will remember to give it to my sister-in-law to taste it"
Cheng Zhao'er waved his hand: "What's the problem with that." If you like it, teach you to do it."
Lu Shi hurriedly shook his hand: "Alas, that's not to, I just like to eat." If you think it's delicious, it's time to do it. I just let you do it. What are you doing with all that effort?"
Cheng Zhaoer rolled her eyes and muttered a foodie in her heart, but nodded happily.
Got to the mountains, sure enough. The chestnut trees were covered with green burr balls, and there were cracked thorn balls on the ground, which looked like little hedgehogs.
There are many chestnut trees in the mountain forest. Many people have gathered, some adults. There are children, singing and laughing, running and jumping and frolicking, so unhappy that some people directly take out the chestnuts in the burr ball on the ground, wipe them on their clothes, and bite the outer layer of chestnut shells with their teeth, and eat the chestnuts.
The Lu family greeted people casually, and Cheng Zhaoer is now familiar with these villagers, and the two of them are very happy in the crowd.
I first found the eldest son of Zhang Er's family and found a bamboo pole, and hooked the chestnut with a chestnut tree nearby.
The burr ball on the outside of this thing is hard, and it must not be grasped by hand, and hooking it with a bamboo pole is the most effective method.
When the burr balls hit the ground, put the cracked side on it, and then step on the chestnut with both toes, and pinch it slightly to the sides, and the crack will completely crack open, revealing the chestnut inside. Just pick up the chestnuts by hand and put them in the bamboo basket or cloth bag you brought.
Cheng Zhao'er didn't know at first, all she saw in her previous life were chestnuts that no longer had the outer layer of burr balls, where could she have the opportunity to see the chestnuts on the chestnut tree, not to mention that she personally knocked them down and removed the outer layer of burrs.
The eldest son of Zhang Er's family taught her twice, and then she felt impatient and ran to play by herself. Lu Shi pointed out again, Cheng Zhaoer tried a few times by herself, but she also tried to find it interesting. and other villagers, talking and laughing while playing with these chestnuts, time is not slow at all, and this work does not seem boring.
Unconsciously, there was already a pile on the ground, Cheng Zhaoer not only filled his bamboo basket half full, but also filled several cloth bags with seven or eight points, Zhang Er's daughter-in-law Chu was originally familiar with Lu's, but now she is also familiar with Cheng Zhaoer, and Zhang Er added bamboo strips to Cheng Changqing to make furniture, so he can also talk about a few words on weekdays. After a few more conversations today, I found that I had a similar temperament, and when I went down the mountain, the two of them were like friends.
Cheng Zhao'er had too many chestnuts in her hands, but fortunately, with the help of Zhang Er's daughter-in-law and Lu's family, she helped her get home.
Before he reached the door, Qiuqiu rushed out first. It first rushed to Cheng Zhao'er's approach, and then tilted its little head to stare at the Lu family and the Chu family for a while, probably its little head to ensure that these two people were not in danger, and then rushed forward again, rubbing at Cheng Zhao'er's feet affectionately.
Cheng Zhao'er took a chestnut, removed the outer shell, made it into small pieces, and stuffed it into its mouth after a while.
The little guy actually enjoyed it so much that his eyes narrowed as if he were about to fall asleep. It's just that its flat orange mouth and long neck are constantly moving, indicating that it is still eating.
When I got home, it was already evening, Cheng Rongfeng and Cheng Rongnian came back, the two of them were holding the bolt and walking in Yuanyuan, the two little guys could walk, but they were still unsteady, at this time, if they didn't pay attention to it, they would slip out, maybe they would fall, so pay special attention.
As soon as he saw Cheng Zhao'er coming back, the bolt glanced at Cheng Zhao'er, called A-Niang softly, and continued to keep his head down and do his own thing. It seems that walking is now his top priority, and there is no room for negligence.
Yuanyuan opened his apple face and screamed excitedly. This little guy doesn't know who to learn from, and now the way to express his happiness is to scream, until the brains of people are throbbing.
Cheng Zhao'er hurriedly put down his things, pouted and kissed them one by one, this is also one of the necessary items every time they come back to meet, and the family has long been surprised.
Brother Fengnian first called Lu and Chu in turn, Rong Feng glanced at so many chestnuts curiously, and Rong Nian was also surprised: "Sister, you have knocked down all the fruits on the chestnut tree."
Li Shi came out and was also startled, this thing is to taste fresh, where someone will eat in piles, she first greeted the Lu family and the Chu family, and then complained: "Where to eat so much, don't be so wasteful, look at who else wants it around, send some to others." I also have to go up the mountain to fight. ”
Cheng Zhao'er shook her head, and had to explain a few words to the Li family and the Fengnian brothers, the Li family was still a little skeptical, but the Fengnian brothers were very happy.
After sending away the Lu family and the Chu family, and promising to make the chestnut cake for them to deliver, Cheng Zhaoer began to make it.
In her previous life, she liked to tinker with pastries, and she also worked in a food factory that produced pineapple cakes. Although she still needs to think about the making of pastries with complex recipes, the basic pastry series can't stop her. Those pastries have been completely memorized in my mind because they are often made, and even the ratio of materials does not need to be scaled, and I can estimate the difference with a simple measurement.
Chestnut is a kind of health care product that invigorates qi and strengthens the spleen, thickens the stomach and intestines, and is also a good food for health.
The family first worked together to remove the shells from the outside of the chestnuts, then put them all into a large pot, pour water into the boil, and remove the skin.
Then put the boiled chestnuts into the pot and boil them, take out the drained water, mash them into a puree, and then Cheng Zhaoer took a clean cloth, sprinkled the chestnut puree and an appropriate amount of caramel and sesame seeds in it, think about it or think about it, what are the shortcomings, seeing the osmanthus tree blooming in front of the house, Cheng Zhaoer took a bowl and went to the osmanthus tree to pick up some osmanthus flowers, and when he came back, he sprinkled it evenly on the chestnut mud, and then kneaded it vigorously with his hands through the cloth.
After the materials were evenly penetrated, Cheng Zhaoer put a large piece of cloth wrapped in chestnut mud on the cage drawer and steamed it.
This cage drawer is steamed steamed buns for the New Year, the largest kind, the man's fist-sized steamed buns, this cage drawer can be steamed for seventy or eighty. Now the entire cage drawer is filled with a thick layer of chestnut puree.
When it was about to be good, the unique fragrance of this chestnut mixed with the rich aroma of osmanthus spread leisurely. Cheng Rongfeng and Cheng Rongnian stopped walking with Yuanyuan and the plug, and they all stayed in the stove with one by one, and their four round eyes followed Cheng Zhao'er.
Even Qiuqiu was lying at the door, but his neck poked in long, and his small black bean-like eyes were staring at Cheng Zhao'er.
While helping to light the fire, Li said with a smile: "It's just that you are delicious, so it is so complicated, look at the few small ones you lead, be careful later."
As he was talking, Cheng Changqing also came back, and before he walked to the stove, he heard Cheng Changqing ask impatiently: "What is so fragrant and smells hungry." ”
Li Shi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "It's not your delicious daughter who made it up."
Cheng Changqing opened his mouth and said with a simple smile: "That dad is blessed." ”
A few people laughed, and after a while, it was steamed.
The steamed chestnut cake swelled up and became a cylindrical body like a birthday cake, Xu is Cheng Zhaoer's foot, this cake is not the kind of open, there is no hole in the middle of the cut, the whole cake is solid, delicate very, accompanied by the sweet osmanthus fragrance, instantly aroused people's appetite.
Cheng Zhao'er took the kitchen knives, cut them into eight parts like cutting a cake, and beckoned Cheng Rongfeng and Cheng Rongnian to send one each to the Lu family and the Chu family, Cheng Changqing to send one to the old house, and Cheng Zhao'er to send one to Cheng Xue'er's family. He also told Cheng Xueer to eat less.
The body of this chestnut cake is very thick and weighty, don't look at it seems that one is not very large, but eat a little, people will be full, don't eat hurt at that time. To be continued
