Chapter 15 Three-color hair cake
Second Uncle and Aunt Liu were so happy that they didn't know what to do when they saw him agree, so they had to stuff a few home-made Hu cakes for Xiaobei. The bread was not made of white flour, it was mixed with black and yellow, and I don't know what it was made of.
Although the bangs were a little hesitant, he still let Xiaobei accept it.
Although he stewed chicken, he did not have a staple food, and now that he has received a favor, he will definitely pay it back if he has the ability in the future.
Bangs put Ayu on the bed, and a hint of softness flashed in his eyes.
"You rest here for a while, and I'll bring in the food."
Bangs turned around and wanted to leave, but Ayu suddenly grabbed his sleeve, bangs turned around, saw Ayu opened his mouth slightly, and then closed his mouth and smiled at him, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
Bangs looked at her in surprise and reached out to touch her head.
"What's wrong? Isn't Mo still afraid? ”
Ayu shook her head and loosened the sleeve of her bangs.
"It's nothing, I'm hungry, let Xiaobei eat with me."
I think it was the companionship of this period of time that gave Ayu and Xiaobei feelings to each other. For such a thing, bangs are naturally pleasing to see and will naturally not be stopped.
He nodded slightly and walked straight out.
But what he didn't see was that after he walked out of the door, the smile on the corner of Ayu's mouth disappeared instantly, and a line of tears dripped down her cheeks, with a little melancholy in her eyes.
Liu Hai walked into the firewood room, and saw Xiaobei and Zhang Da standing together facing each other, and when he walked in, Xiaobei hurriedly walked over.
"Big brother, this person actually wants to steal food, if I hadn't found it in time, I'm afraid there would be nothing left in the pot."
Liu Hai raised his head and glanced at Zhang Da, and saw that the latter's face was really blue and white, but he lowered his head deeply, and a smile flashed in his eyes, and he walked over directly and scooped out a big bowl from the pot and handed it to Xiaobei on the tray, and put two Hu cakes by the way.
"Okay, you don't care about it for now, go in and eat with your sister Ayu, you two little sisters can also say something considerate."
Xiaobei nodded obediently, took the tray and walked directly to Ayu's house, and didn't forget to glare at Zhang Da before leaving.
Seeing that Zhang Da was still with his head down, Liu Hai had to walk over and pat him on the shoulder, holding back the smile in his words.
"The two of us should also eat something, and after we finish eating, we will start preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's three-color hair cake, if you are okay, stay and help me first."
Hearing Liu Hai say this, Zhang Da's face was a little more natural, he thought about it a little, and then nodded vigorously.
After eating, the bangs will burn the fire and boil the water.
He grinded the corn into powder very carefully, mixed it with the flour, and when it was stirred very evenly, the water in the pot gradually became steamy, the water was too cold and too hot, in fact, it was not good, only this warm but not hurtful temperature was just right.
While Zhang Da turned around and didn't pay attention, Liu Hai quickly threw the yeast into the warm water that he had just scooped out, and then put in the sugar, he blocked the yeast with his hand, secretly melted it and poured it into three basins.
The basin has already been put in an appropriate amount of warm water, so after pouring it in, it is only slightly turbid, but the stove is too bright, so for a while, it can't attract people's attention.
Bangs divide the prepared powder into three parts, one directly into a basin and form a dough, and after the molding, directly cover the lid.
The other part was added with the juice of the red cow cabbage that Zhang Da had just pounded, and after stirring, it appeared a faint orange-red color.
The other is filled with the juice of sunflower cabbage, which is very dark in color, so it does not lose its original green color when stirred, and it looks very attractive.
There is still a technique for bangs to make noodles, but he doesn't often make this kind of hair cake, and the only thing that can be confirmed is that this is still the only one.
After all, if there is nothing fermented, where did the Tang Dynasty get the hair cake?
Tomorrow, after this is done separately, put it together, and after careful steaming, the three-color hair cake can be made.
Although the Tang Dynasty was relatively rich in food, there should have been no such practice, and it must have been able to sell well.
It wasn't until all the dough was kneaded and covered with a large lid that the bangs took a deep breath and secretly wiped a handful of sweat.
At this time, it is still cold, and the noodles must not be so fast, and when I get up tomorrow morning, it may be just right.
When he turned around, he saw Zhang Da looking at him with very surprised eyes, and Liu Hai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and asked with a smile.
"Why do you look at me like that?"
Zhang Da looked at his bangs incredulously, and couldn't help but shake his head gently, as if something couldn't figure it out.
"I just feel very strange, you have not been favored since you were a child, you can't even eat, how can you make so many things? Anyway, I always feel like you're a little different from what you used to be. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hai chuckled, looking at Zhang Da with some playfulness, and seemed to feel very funny about his words.
"Actually, I've loved to eat since I was a child, but I haven't had the opportunity to do it. After all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, although I am not a little lady, but the reason is the same. As you said, I couldn't even afford to eat before, I didn't have anything, so how could I care about thinking about so much food? ”
Zhang Da was stunned for a moment, and then nodded suddenly in understanding.
Bangs turned his back and quietly wiped a handful of sweat, now it's just Zhang Da's carelessness, I heard that someone else found out that he was different, and he was afraid that he would be killed directly as a demon.
It seems that you will have to be more careful in the future, and strive not to show your flaws in front of others, otherwise... Although it was relatively safe in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, everything was afraid of what happened.
Thinking of this, Liu Hai turned around again, his eyes contained deep thought, but he still had a smile on his face.
"By the way, this is the money I want to buy for your family's groceries today. You bring the money back first, and come to my house tomorrow morning to look for me. When the cake is ready, we should go to the West Market. ”
Zhang Da happily took the money bag and went home directly.
After Liu Customs went to the door, he took a deep look at Ayu and Xiaobei's room, and went directly back to his room.
At the end of the second day, Bang Hai got up from the bed and groped his way to the firewood room.
Opening the lid on the basin, Bang Hai poked it with his fingers, and sure enough, there was already a layer of hard epidermis, which could be pierced if he used force.
There are already some bubbles inside, but the group has indeed been sent out, just waiting to be made into a finished product.
Liu Hai took a deep breath, added a few small pieces of dry wood to the stove, and began to prepare to heat the pot.
He took out a ball from each of the three basins and began to knead the dough separately, he was not in a hurry to knead them together at first, after all, he wanted to make three colors, and he didn't know what color it would be when he kneaded them together.
Bangs kneaded all three dough into a cake shape, then cut each into six pieces, and then put them together, but it really looks very beautiful, like a handicraft.
Relieved, Liu Hai quickly pasted the kneaded hair cake directly on the iron pot that had just been greased.
