Chapter 32: One Magpie, Two Magpies
"Then there are the first few words, let's look at the three words of joy first."
"Heavy means many, or two, in pairs."
"Xi, it must mean something that can be eaten, what can be eaten, and it has the word "Xi"?"
"The first thing that comes to mind is magpies."
Chen Er stretched out two fingers, "Xi Chongzhong probably refers to magpies in pairs." ”
Pork stewed vermicelli: "Does Chen Lao Shi mean to put magpies in lotus leaf soup?" What would that taste like? ”
Tea eggs invaded the earth: "Quietly Mimi, I have eaten sparrow soup, the taste is okay, who has eaten magpies?" ”
Qingtian: "Does Xizhilang count...... It's also with the word ......"
Fans: "......"
Chen Er: "......"
Chen Er continued, "Finally, let's take a look at this Man Chi Jiao. ”
"This thing is kind of interesting......"
Tea eggs invade the earth: "Yo yo yo ......"
Chen Er saw through him at a glance, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop his brain hole.
"Don't drive around, this Manchi Jiao is not the kind of ...... you think"
Chen Er thought for a while, and then said, "In the impression of the anchor, Man Chijiao seems to be a pattern, which is often used on clothing and porcelain......"
"Manchijiao refers to the scenery in the pond. It includes plants and animals on the water. ”
"For example, lotus, mandarin duck, aquatic plants, lotus leaves, lotus pods and the like."
Put so many things together and cook them into a soup?
What does that smell like?
Fans can't help but look forward to it.
However, can aquatic plants be eaten?
Everyone is a little skeptical again.
Chen Er said, "This soup comes from Jin Moumei's forty-first episode. Write that Ximen Qing married Qiao Dahu, and Wu Yueniang invited Qiao Dahu to a banquet, and used this soup. ”
Eat a pound: "Chen Laoshi actually remembers ...... so detailed"
There is a tiger in his heart: "Well, it seems that Chen Laoshi must be familiar with this book, and he has memorized it backwards." ”
Watermelon is not an eastmelon: "When Chen Laoshi was reading this book, did he feel unwell?" Like, feverish? ”
Chen Er said seriously, "The anchor studied all night last night in order to make this dish." ”
Fans: "Oh oh, oh, all night review......"
Chen Er brought the topic back to the point.
He told fans that similar soups were written in "Dream of Red Mansions".
It's just that the names of the two soups are different, but the recipe is similar.
Because this lotus soup is a common dish of large families.
And lotus flowers, lotus leaves, these things are not available all year round, they belong to seasonal ingredients. So it's not really all made with fresh ingredients from the pool.
It should be mixed with flour with the juice of flowers or fresh leaves, and after blending, it is formed in a mold, accompanied by fresh lotus leaves and broth, which is light and fragrant and delicate in appearance.
Therefore, the anchor believes that the key to this happy and full pond Jiao and head lotus soup lies in the allocation of ingredients and flavors."
Chen Er showed everyone the fresh ingredients he brought.
They are a handful of fresh lotus leaves, a bouquet of light pink begonia flowers in full bloom, a basket of fresh lotus flowers, two fresh white radishes and a small bag of flour.
The first thing to do is the soup base.
Chicken soup should be boiled fresh, and the ingredients to accompany it should be carefully chosen.
Chen Er cut the chicken into large pieces, without adding any seasoning, just wrapped in fresh lotus leaves and steamed in a steamer.
Steam for 20 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb enough aroma of lotus leaves before taking it out.
Fill the casserole with clear stream water and put the steamed chicken pieces in it.
Add a handful of freshly peeled fresh lotus seeds, ginger cubes, yams, and lotus roots.
Wrap the pot with a fresh lotus leaf and cover the pot tightly.
"The chicken soup stewed with extremely fresh ingredients can be used to make this soup to achieve the most delicious taste."
"Forty-five minutes of simmering is fine."
Next, prepare the ingredients to garnish the soup.
"Joy and Pond Jiao"
It's a pity that Chen Er didn't have time to build the mold, so he had to rely on hand-kneading.
Chen Er mashed the lotus leaves and begonia flowers separately, pounded out the juice, and added them to the flour.
A pale green and pale pink dough was kneaded.
Knead the remaining flour into a white flour ball.
"Let's do it first."
Kneading dough is no easier than carving ingredients, even if Chen Er has a lot of work on it, he does it carefully.
He first pinched some green lotus leaves, then a few pink lotus buds and blooming lotus flowers, and then pinched some green lotus flowers.
What else can you pinch?
Chen Er thought about it, and pinched some water chestnuts and small fish.
Some fans reminded him, "Mandarin ducks! Chen Lao is wet, there are mandarin ducks in the pond! ”
Chen Er pinched another pair of mandarin ducks.
After kneading them all, Chen Er put them all on a plate.
At first glance, it really feels like a pond full of delicate feelings.
Lotus leaves, lotus flowers, small fish with tails, mandarin ducks playing in the water, lotus pods and water chestnuts.
It's like a picture.
Chen Er couldn't help but sigh, "It's still ancient people who can play." ”
Finally, it's time to pinch the magpies.
"According to folk legend, magpies can report good news, so they are called magpies."
"Today, everyone sees the anchor pinching the magpie, which means that everyone will have a happy event."
"Welcome the spring breeze warmly, magpies squeak and laugh at children. The noise and noise go to enjoy the flowers, and the plum is fragrant and the bees and butterflies are surging. ”
Fans brushed up a large number of happy words in the barrage.
Chen Er's girlfriend: "Thank you for your blessings, I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Chen Laoshi to get the certificate later!" ”
Tea Eggs Invade Earth: "Girl, wait a minute, your face has fallen." ”
Qingtian: "Chen Laoshi wants to get a certificate with me, Crab Crab, the household registration book is here!" ”
Chen Er's girlfriend: "Fart, the first two don't even have nine yuan, and they are embarrassed to say that they are married!" It's dawn! It's time to wake up! ”
Chen Er put the two magpies on the plate and admired them carefully.
Nodding, "Yes, it's quite similar." ”
"One magpie, two magpies, it seems that today is a double happiness!"
Chen Er rolled up his sleeves, peeled off the remaining lotus flowers, and put the plump lotus seeds in the bowl, which looked crystal and lovely.
Like beads that have just been stained with dew.
The lotus seed removed the lotus heart, and Chen Er tore the lotus leaf into small pieces.
"Forty-five minutes has come."
Chen Er glanced at the time and brought the chicken soup pot down the stove.
Remove the lid and wrapped lotus leaf.
The smell of chicken soup and the fragrance of lotus leaves rushed out of the pot.
Chen Er took a deep breath.
"Not bad!"
He took the spoon and flicked it in the pot, and the chicken fell apart as soon as it touched the spoon.
The rich aroma of the chicken is as if it has been fermented, and the smell of the chicken broth grows stronger and stronger as the spoon stirs gently in the pot.
Fans can't smell it, but they can see it.
The chicken will rot with the slightest touch of a spoon, which shows that the chicken is stewed soft and rotten.
If you take a bite in your mouth, you won't even have to chew hard to chew it, and you will be able to swallow it.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva through the screen.
Unfortunately, Chen Er only needs to get chicken broth, and the chicken and the ingredients in it are not used.
