Chapter 52: Bear's Paw
"A few of you, in the future, specially, go to find these hornet's nests for this king, and the same is true for bee nests, get them back for this king, and I believe that with these you are wearing, it should not be difficult for you to get them, but if you are a bee, you have to pick honey like today, and find the queen bee and put it in the beehive, so when you go to get bees, you must bring a beehive, but don't get a beehive if it's too small, remember the location, and get it when you grow up" After saying to those guards, Li Chengqian asked people to bring a hornet's nest and honey, happily returned to the palace.
As soon as he returned to the East Palace, when Li Chengqian hadn't begun to think about what to do with these honeys, Xia Ju ran over when he saw Li Chengqian coming back, "Your Highness, Your Majesty just sent a pair of bear paws over."
"Bear paw, I'll go, I just got wild honey, you just give me the bear paw, do you want me to try the beeswax steamed bear paw that I saw in the movie, I just don't know if the bear paw made by this can be eaten" Hearing that there was a bear paw, Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then he was thinking about how to deal with it in his heart, after all, in his previous life, he didn't have the opportunity to touch such an ingredient as the bear paw, it can be said that he has never seen it, the only thing he knows is that the bear paw can be steamed and braised, and the beeswax steamed bear paw that he has seen in the movie.
After thinking about it for a while, he hadn't done it anyway, and he didn't know if it was good or not, so he tried it, and if it was delicious, it wasn't earned, so he took the hornet's nest and honey to the kitchen.
When he arrived in the kitchen and saw two huge black bear paws, Li Chengqian asked people to remove the hair and nails on the bear paws first, and then asked Liu Hai how they cook bear paws on weekdays.
Dealing with the bear's paw like this, the fishy smell must be very strong, and I don't know how these people eat it, so after Li Chengqian asked people to clean the bear's paw, he added green onion and turmeric wine and simmered it over low heat until the bones could be taken out.
And during this period, Li Chengqian was not idle, he asked people to find the glutinous rice he had made before the rice candy, fried it in oil and put it aside.
Although the rice candy made before, several little girls like to eat it, even his wife likes it too, but Li Chengqian is not satisfied, because the sweetness is not enough, he doesn't feel good how he eats, this time there is honey, he wants to make it again.
Put the caramel and a certain amount of lard in the pot over low heat and boil slowly, add honey during the period, and put the fried rice into it to stir continuously when the syrup can change color slightly, this process can be stirred directly from the fire, and after the rice is wrapped in syrup, pour them into a container prepared in advance, press them into the shape you want, and cut the rice sugar into a suitable size after it is completely cooled.
"It's this taste, it's much better than before, it's really not sweet enough, it's not delicious to eat, it seems that sugarcane is a high-sweet crop, it's time for people to go to Lingnan to find it, and if you find your brother, you will get some people to plant sugarcane for your brother, although white sugar is also extracted from sugarcane, but my brother won't, but how to do brown sugar My brother still will, the third brother's brown sugar workshop video, it's not for nothing to see" After eating a piece of rice candy, Li Chengqian's desire for sugar is getting bigger and bigger, and he is no longer very satisfied with the existing caramel and maltose, Brown sugar is what he wants, as for white sugar, he won't, but as long as brown sugar is made, then with the ingenuity of our big foodie kingdom, someone will definitely make it, and it won't be him at that time.
"Xia Ju, you send these rice candy to the princess in the back garden, and some to the Lizheng Palace, and by the way, the bees also send some over."
"Your Highness, should we leave some here?"
"Keep some honey, and some rice candy! The others are all divided" Seeing Xia Ju's greedy appearance, Li Chengqian was amused in his heart, but he still let Xia Ju leave some rice candy, although he didn't eat much, but he could give Xia Ju no, after all, she was also someone close to him.
After getting Li Chengqian's instructions, Xia Ju let people take it, and left happily, and she was moved in her heart, because she knew that her master didn't like to eat these small snacks very much, just like the rice candy left before, most of which was rewarded to her by Li Chengqian, this time she never thought that she could eat rice candy with honey, honey is a very precious thing, but she didn't expect that Li Chengqian could let her leave a little.
After Xia Ju left, the bear's paws over there were also stewed for more than an hour, and Li Chengqian asked people to fish them out and take out the bones.
Looking at the bear's paw with the bones completely removed, Li Chengqian asked Liu Hai to take one to braised it, and the other one was soaked in ice water for a period of time, and then taken out and put on the cut wild beehive to be steamed in a pot.
Looking at the bear's paws that were put into the steamer, Li Chengqian had no bottom in his heart, whether he could eat it or not, it would only be known after he got out of the pot.
After steaming, Li Chengqian called Liu Hai over, told him to watch the time, and told him to fry the bee pupae for a while, and then he left the kitchen.
After all, the current bangs are good at stir-frying, frying, stewing, boiling, and craftsmanship, and he doesn't need to keep staring at it, he can make it for you well if he tells him well, so Li Chengqian is very relieved.
But when Li Chengqian came to the back garden, his face darkened, and he saw that a group of little girls had eaten all the rice candy.
"Eldest sister, you won't look at them, if you eat so much sugar, you will eat your teeth badly" Li Chengqian looked at Li Wei and said dissatisfied.
"Gao Ming, why are you so stingy, don't you just eat some sugar! Why do you eat your teeth badly?" said Li Wei as she put a piece of rice candy in her mouth.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian understands, the co-author is the head of you, in desperation, Li Chengqian is really afraid that this group of little girls will have bad teeth, although it is okay once or twice, but they can't stand this group of little girls who have to eat some every day, and some of them even bring some back and eat at night.
Li Chengqian could only ask Xia Ju to bring the toothbrush he had ordered someone to make before, because he couldn't get toothpaste, so he asked people to get some honeysuckle, mint, and orange peel, which were dried and ground into powder, mixed with green salt, and used as toothpaste.
"You show me, this is a toothbrush, hold it in your hand, dip it in some tooth powder, put it in your mouth, keep brushing your teeth, clean your teeth......" In this way, Li Chengqian took a group of little princesses, little princes, and taught them how to brush their teeth with a toothbrush in the back garden of his East Palace.
However, for the two small ones, Li Chengqian did not let them brush by themselves, but taught them hand in hand.
After brushing Xiao Yi'er and letting her play, Li Chengqian pulled Li Su, who was more than 4 years old on the side, to his side to brush his teeth.
Li Chengqian was still a little puzzled about Li Ke's coming, after all, his brother Li Ke had never come, this kid was pulled over by Lizhi, and when he saw that he was not afraid of life, he called his eldest brother sweetly, and looked around curiously.
Li Chengqian immediately liked his tiger-headed younger brother, after all, compared to the little fat man Li Tai and the naughty Li You, Li Su didn't know how well-behaved he was.
