Chapter 202: Amber Orange Ball
The things given by the emperor can't be thrown, but the little oranges full of baskets, to say the least, are five or six catties, if you really eat them one bite at a time, you won't be able to sour people to death!
Huiya didn't want to grieve her stomach, and after knowing that this little orange was so sour, she didn't want to send the orange out directly to cause trouble, pinching the little orange and sitting in front of the window to find a way, she couldn't even take care of breakfast.
"Miss, it's not too early, it's time to go to the main room." The rich family was also worried about this little orange, but seeing that it was not early, Miss Huiya had not eaten yet, so she urged her to go to the main room.
"Well, put this little orange on two plates and bring it to my mother to taste." Huiya nodded, the world is the biggest eat, let's talk about it after having breakfast with my mother!
Although the breakfast in Moxiangyuan is not a refinement, because it is eaten with her mother, Huiya still eats a lot. After the meal, he took out the little orange and gave it to his mother, and complained by the way, Hui Ya's cute little face wrinkled made Mrs. Zhao laugh a lot.
"Okay, okay, since this orange is too sour, let's find a way to make something else to eat, and the things given by the emperor can't be spoiled." Zheng watched Huiya finish complaining, reached out and touched her head, and said with a doting face.
"Something else?" Huiya heard her mother mention this, and her brain began to spin, although the fruit is less to cook, but it can be used when making snacks!
Although this orange is sour, the taste is still very fragrant, if you boil it to make a puree for snacks, maybe it is okay, or it can be boiled directly into sugar water, or do you want to wrap it and fry it?
Huiya did what she said, left the sweet green orange to her mother, and took the sour yellow orange and ran to the small kitchen.
What the hell is this orange doing? Huiya pursed her lips and looked at the little orange on the plate, she couldn't think of it, and suddenly saw the sugar jar next to her, as soft as snow, Huiya's mind suddenly let go.
Let Yahuan peel the little oranges one by one, revealing the orange tender raw orange flesh, and look at the oranges the size of copper coins. Huiya thought about this thing, although it tasted sour. It might be a good snack to make.
I boiled half a pot of water on the stove, and when the water boiled, I poured all the oranges into it. Watching the round little oranges tumbling up and down in the water, it didn't take long for me to smell the slightly sour aroma of oranges between my noses.
"Go get some rock candy!" Hui Ya gently pushed the oranges in the pot with the fence in her hand and commanded.
After the rock candy was brought. Thinking that the sour taste of this orange was too strong, Huiya poured half a bowl of rock candy into it without blinking. I thought to myself. If it weren't for the fact that your orange is a gift, I wouldn't have wasted manpower and material resources to toss you so much!
Seeing that the orange petals gradually became softer, and the color became darker and darker to almost transparent, Huiya knew that the orange should be almost cooked. The aroma of rock sugar and orange petals slowly spreads, and the sweet and sour taste makes people feel like they have an appetite.
Huiya scooped a small ball of oranges and put it to her lips to cool off. Then he slowly put it in his mouth and chewed it, and the girls next to him swallowed their saliva when they saw it. It's not that I think this thing is delicious, but I'm afraid that even if it's boiled in sugar water, this orange is still extremely sour.
"It's still a little sour," Huiya frowned and chewed the little orange and swallowed it into her stomach, feeling that although this kind ......of orange syrup could be eaten, it was not so delicious because it still had a lot of sourness, and it would be nice if it was sweeter.
Thinking like this, Hui Ya suddenly remembered that Aunt Cui had made a silk-drawn sweet potato and sugar gourd for herself, if she wrapped a layer of sweet sugar shell on the outside of this orange, would it taste different?
Thinking like this, Huiya's eyes lit up, and she immediately started a small pot and began to boil sugar. Pour a small half bowl of sugar into the water, stir slowly until the sugar is completely dissolved in the water, and then slowly become viscous.
However, it is not an easy task to make sugar draw, and you need to master the heat just right. Huiya is not experienced enough, and she doesn't dare to expect this ability, as long as she can eat deliciously. Seeing that the sugar water had become a sticky amber color like honey, Huiya threw the small orange balls that had just been fished out of the pot and used for sugar water into the sugar pot, and then flipped them quickly.
The tender little orange balls with the amber syrup are just a matter of moments. Huiya's hand turned up and down, and in a moment, the surface of each small orange ball was stained with syrup.
The small orange balls are taken out of the pot, spread out on a cleaned iron plate, and stacked separately one by one, looking at the orange balls as if they were wrapped in amber, as if they were as delicate as a handicraft.
The maiden chef who was watching next to her felt that just such a beautiful appearance was enough to make her mouth water.
"I just don't know what it tastes like." Hui Ya is obviously very satisfied with the appearance of this little orange ball, but it looks good, but it may not taste like this, but the sugar shell is hot, Hui Ya didn't dare to eat it directly, and waited for the orange ball to be almost cold, so she picked one up with chopsticks and gently put it in her mouth.
The amber-like sugar crust cracked softly under Huiya's teeth, making a slight clicking sound, and the taste was very sweet, just like eating the sugar husk of a rock sugar gourd. Under this pressure, the soft orange petals boiled in it burst open instantly, and the slightly sour and slightly sweet juice instantly filled the entire mouth, making the mouth that had just become sweet and greasy because of the sugar shell have a new stimulation.
"Well...... "It's not perfect, but it's delicious, and Huiya is very happy with her attempt. Huiya squinted and smiled, crushing the sugar shell in her mouth with a click, and then swallowed it with the delicious juice.
"Taste it, too, how does it taste?" Hui Ya picked up some amber orange balls and put them on the plate, and let the kitchen lady in the kitchen taste the rest or something, everyone felt that this sugar ball was very delicious, a hundred times stronger than just eating oranges, Hui Ya nodded with satisfaction, and took the finished product to let her mother taste it.
Zheng affirmed Huiya's efforts, and was in a good mood to find a pair of orange-like earrings from his jewelry and gave them to Huiya as a reward.
Huiya was very happy when she got her mother's affirmation, thinking that this amber orange ball could not only be enjoyed by herself, so she asked Yahuan to peel out the whole basket of sour oranges, cook them first and then wrap them according to the method just now, and make them all into delicious snacks.
The delicacy can't be enjoyed exclusively, Huiya has a total of two baskets of small oranges, in addition to the food in her own yard, Huiya divides the remaining sweet oranges and amber orange balls into six portions.
My grandfather and grandmother had a big house, a third room, and a share, which was the share of the head of the family. There is also Aunt Cui of Lianfu, who sent a copy of Yuehua and Chenguang of the Dingguo Mansion, and the last one, Huiya thought about it, and let people send it to the Song Mansion in Sibao Hutong.
Although there are only two small plates of oranges, it is Huiya's strong heart, and the recipients are very happy, or return some fresh fruits, or some snacks, all express their enthusiasm.
Especially in Lord Song's house, because Song Wan'er felt hungry after eating this amber orange ball, she was so happy that Lord Song gave Huiya two boxes full of snacks from the Four Seasons Building, and also said that if there is such a delicious snack in the future, you must think about Wan'er, which shows how satisfied Huiya is with this amber orange ball.
