Chapter 53: Bamboo Cards
"Lady, what is this thing?" Looking at the strange device, Du Lisheng was simply confused, Xin Zhi said to make desserts for him, but he had been working on this thing for half a day when he came back, and he couldn't see the use of this thing.
"Just look at it, don't look at it strangely, the things you make are delicious." Zhou Xinzhi smiled mysteriously, then turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare the materials.
She plans to make an apple pie today, although she can't make it as authentic as a foreign one, but the domestic simple version is still fine.
First of all, prepare the skin of the apple pie, which is easy, that is, flour and water, add some oil and salt to mix well, and if you want to be delicious, you can also add some crispy heart.
It just so happened that Du Lisheng had the habit of boiling lard when cooking, so there was a small jar for storing lard at home, Zhou Xinzhi took out a small amount of lard, mixed it with flour, and the small dumplings were ready.
"I didn't expect the lady to make pastries?" Du Lisheng couldn't help when he sat on the side, so he could only sit on the side and watch her movements.
Zhou Xinzhi smiled at him, "I'll tell you the truth, I already like sweetness, so I have studied many methods by myself." ”
This is true, although her cooking skills are average, but in terms of making desserts, she is really capable, but in this era, things are limited, and many utensils are not fully prepared, so she can only make an apple pie to satisfy her hunger.
Neatly laid out the bottom of the cake, because there was no mold plate, she also found a small clay plate at random, and after doing this, she began to fry the filling.
"Actually, this apple is the best when it is directly baked, but I don't like the sour taste." She unconsciously began to talk to Du Lisheng about this topic, "If you think it's delicious, when we have the money, we can also open a shop to sell this kind of dessert." ”
Saying that, she also laughed softly, Zhou Xinzhi is already handsome, and her smile at this time is even more eye-catching.
It's just that she didn't notice it herself, especially after the previous Chinese medicine mask maintenance, the skin is fairer and smoother
"I feel ashamed of myself, I'm good for nothing but hunting." Du Lisheng smiled lightly and shook his head, looking at the dilapidated house in his family, only after Xin Zhi got married, there was a little more human touch, otherwise for him, this house was just a place to live.
"What's so ashamed, you have your own ideas, it's just that my ideas are suitable for business, and your ideas don't match business, besides, there are not only businessmen in this world, maybe you are the one who wants to do great things in the future!"
Zhou Xinzhi didn't think that Du Lisheng was really as useless as he said.
Many times he can show a calmness that is different from ordinary people, as well as his own unique opinions, from other aspects and his own ideas, compared to nothing, she believes that he has not met the usefulness, it can also be said that he has not met his own Bole.
"The lady really lifted me." He smiled and shook his head, and stopped talking about the subject.
Here, Zhou Xinzhi's fruit filling is also fried, the apple grains fried with sugar are sticky, and there is a sweet and sour taste, it is really delicious, she carefully spread it on the pie crust, and finally cut the excess pie crust into a strip and weave it into a rattan basket-like shape and cover it.
"Okay, you help me go there and make a fire, and when it gets hot, you call me over."
Zhou Xinzhi put the prepared pie aside and carefully smeared a layer of egg liquid.
This set can make Du Lisheng stunned, he really saw this kind of eating method for the first time, he was a little curious, what is the taste of this thing?
The fire burned very quickly, and after a while, the iron box was hot, Zhou Xinzhi tried it with a small piece of pigskin, felt that the temperature was almost enough, carefully wrapped a thick cotton cloth in his hand, and put the finished pie in.
"Don't burn too hot, just about the same, I'll take it out later."
She returned to the stove satisfied, and with dessert, how could she not prepare a drink? The weather has started to get hot again in the past few days, and she plans to use these pears to make a Gu rock candy pear, not to mention clearing the heat and relieving the heat, but also moistening her throat.
When the pears were almost done, she went to the oven.
"It's okay, the fire below can be extinguished, I'll take it out, you go back first."
The oven had just been burned by fire, and the temperature was not low, and if she accidentally touched it, it would make a bubble, and she was very careful not to make any mistakes.
Carefully took out the baked apple pie, and the moment I took it out, the aroma of apples spread in the yard.
Zhou Xinzhi nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it's a success!" I'll give you a taste in a moment. ”
She put the baked pie aside, and put out the boiled rock sugar pear, and it was not time for dinner at this hour, so it was not good to have a little dessert to cushion her stomach.
"Well, how about you taste it?" She handed Du Lisheng a small spoon and looked at Du Lisheng expectantly.
He also dug a spoonful obediently, but how to describe the taste? In short, he just felt a little new when he ate it.
He had never seen this kind of cooking, and he put an iron box on the fire to roast? It's really unusual, and the texture is also unique, the skin is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the entrance is fruity, which is really lovely.
"Who did you learn this craft from?" He was really curious about who could have developed such a magical way to eat, "It's really good!" ”
Hearing him say this, Zhou Xinzhi's hanging heart also fell, to be honest, this simple oven still has some small flaws.
After all, if the time is not well controlled, coupled with the uneven heat, it is easy to paste off, but fortunately, Du Lisheng's ability to control the heat is relatively strong, and the heating is relatively uniform.
"It's a secret, and since you think it's delicious, let's give it a name." She also thought about calling it apple pie, but the name was not easy to understand.
Du Lisheng thought for a moment, "This thing is fruity, and the skin is crispy and soft, why don't you call it a crispy bun?" ”
The name is easy to understand, and the crispy bun is also used to describe the crispy texture, which means that it has a crispy texture and the softness of the bun, which is really good.
"In that case, this thing will be called a crisp bun in the future!" Zhou Xinzhi nodded with satisfaction, she was very happy to eat with a small spoon, and then drank a sip of rock sugar pear, she felt that she was living a noble life, and she was really satisfied.
Looking at the satisfied appearance of the little lady who was full of food and drink, Du Lisheng smiled faintly.
"Lady go back and rest first, tomorrow is just in time for the dance festival, and I will take you to the city in the evening." Du Lisheng suddenly remembered the news he had heard when he entered the city before.
He remembered that the little lady had said before that he had rarely been to the city, so he had definitely never seen this dance festival.
"Noodle Dance Festival?" This is fresh, Zhou Xinzhi became interested in it all of a sudden, didn't she go to this decent ancient time and have such an attractive festival?
"A lot of young men and women get together in the city on this day, and they wear different masks, chat or stroll with the people around them, and if they are both men and women, they will exchange posts." Du Lisheng patiently explained to her, looking at the little lady's serious look when she listened, he reached out and pinched her little face.
"Although it is said that the men and women exchanged Geng posts, whether it is suitable for marriage also depends on the opinions of the family, so now this dance festival has become an ordinary festival."
Zhou Xinzhi nodded, there was such a bold festival in ancient times, isn't this a large-scale blind date?
But it was funny, and she nodded her head, if she could, she would have liked to see it.
"But we don't have masks." She suddenly thought of something and pursed her lips, "Forget it, it's really inappropriate to have to go to the street to buy masks for a festival." ”
"Besides, this kind of festival is just a lively one, there is really no need to buy masks, it is better to buy more radishes and cucumbers and come back to pickle pickles."
Du Lisheng rubbed her little face helplessly, "What kind of mask do we want for our husband and wife to participate." ”
And this mask can be worn or not, mainly to avoid the embarrassment of unrequited love, there is such a rule, but over time, everyone is just trying to be lively, and no one is really looking for a husband.
"In this way, it's better to go and have a good time, and it's not the same if you can find any business opportunities." Zhou Xinzhi nodded, she suddenly remembered Valentine's Day, every Valentine's Day, she would do some promotions, maybe she could let Shopkeeper Lin catch up with this festival and engage in activities or something.
In this way, Zhou Xinzhi looked forward to it for a whole night, and finally survived until the unitary time, Du Lisheng changed his clothes and went to the city with her.
Today, the two of them wore a match, Zhou Xinzhi picked a water-blue gown, and she couldn't find anything wrong with it, although it was not the best material, but with her indifferent temperament, it also looked a little bright in the crowd.
And Du Lisheng picked a lake blue cotton shirt from the early years, which was still his clothes three years ago, and now he is wearing a little small, but it is not in the way, but it fills him with a trace of bookishness, and he looks very elegant.
"Yes, yes, I thought you were a noble son of any family, and I picked it up cheaply." Zhou Xinzhi patted him on the shoulder and sighed.
Although this ancient life is really difficult, she still eats Du Lisheng's appearance!
Du Lisheng smiled, took her small hand with his big hand, and the two walked towards the city, and along the way they saw many men and women going to the city, who seemed to be going to the festival.
For a while, the city became very lively.
The hawkers shouting by candlelight on the side of the street, and the crowded scene of people on the stalls, are really attractive, and even Zhou Xinzhi, who doesn't like to go shopping on weekdays, can't help but want to go inside.
She looked at the people around the street, and it was really similar to what Du Lisheng said, most of them were men and women wearing masks.
As they were walking forward, a woman suddenly stopped the two of them, to be precise, her father-in-law, Du Lisheng.
"This son, I wonder if you can accept the little girl's bamboo card?"
