Chapter 52: Pine Cake (Part 3)

The ingredients of the cooking utensils should also be carefully chosen.

Chen Er commonly used porcelain, glass, and wood products.

Sometimes jade or agate is used.

The choice of utensils should also be linked to the ingredients, color, temperature and even aroma and taste characteristics of the food.

For example, if the taste is refreshing, you can choose to match the glass and other utensils, the glass is colorful, and the refreshing taste of the food can be matched together, which can play a complementary effect.

After the lotus soup is ready, Chen Er will start to make the next dish.

"The next dish is called pine cake."

Everyone said that they had only eaten Songhua eggs and had not eaten Songhua cakes.

"Could it be that this pine cake looks similar to a pine flower egg...... Is there a pattern on the surface that is the same as that of a pine flower? ”

"I guess this pine cake is made with pine eggs. Witty as I am! ”

"Can't you think better? For example, pine flower cake is a cake made from pine flowers! ”

"Who said there must be pine flowers in the pine cake!"

"That's it, there's no wife in the wife's cake!"

"Boss, bring me a wife cake! The rest of a single dog's life depends on you! ”

"So what the hell is Songhua! Can you give some science to the little fairy who lacks common sense of plants!! ”

Chen Er exuded the temperament of a college beast in class.

"That classmate just now was really right."

"There are really pine flowers in the pine cake."

"If there is no pine cake, can it still be called a pine cake?"

Pork stewed vermicelli: "In the same way, is a wife's cake still called a wife's cake without a wife?" Unscrupulous sellers deceived my youth!! ”

Watermelon is not an eastmelon: "...... Kneel and beg Chen Lao Shi to sell his wife's!! ”

Chen Er raised an eyebrow.

"If I have a wife's bread, I will eat ten or eight of them first, and it will be my turn to sell them to you?"

Sunny day: "Eight out of ten...... Awesome, bow to the big guy! ”

Eat a pound: "Sunny day classmate grasped the wrong point." ”

Chen Er told everyone.

One of the main ingredients of pine flower cake is indeed pine flower.

But it's not the pine flower itself, it's the pollen of the pine flower.

Pine pollen was first used in traditional Chinese medicine.

Later, it was gradually added to the diet.

Pine pollen is not easy to obtain.

Collecting pine pollen should not miss the flowering period, too early will cause less pollen, too late will fall pollen. It's more important to be able to climb trees. The pine flowers that are picked back can be dried to collect pollen. Pine flower noodles are not easy to come by, and one pound of pine flower noodles requires hundreds of pounds of pine flowers to be dried.

Therefore, pine pollen is rare, and wild pine pollen is even more precious.

"Pine pollen has the effects of moistening the heart and lungs, invigorating qi, removing wind and stopping bleeding. Not only can it be used in medicine, but it can also be used to make cakes and sake brewing. ”

Songhua wine is not troublesome to brew, but it needs to be aged for a long time in order to absorb the flavor.

Therefore, Chen Er prepared Songhua wine early.

"The method of making Songhua wine is very simple."

"Wrap the pine pollen in a good silk cloth, and then put it in the wine jar to soak, generally you can drink it in ten days at the earliest, if you want to be more flavorful, you can extend the time, but it is best not to exceed half a month."

As for the pine cake, the most widely circulated method of the current pine cake is from the "Mountain Family Qing Offering".

"Shanjia Qing Offering" said, "At the end of spring, take pine flower yellow and refine ripe honey evenly, and make it like an ancient ambergris cake, which is not only fragrant and sweet, but also can strengthen the face and benefit the ambition." ”

As soon as they heard the words "strong face and good aspirations", the girls became quite sensitive.

"Can you still maintain beauty after eating this pine cake??"

Chen Er nodded.

"Yes, so to speak."

"Pine pollen is sweet and mild. It has the effect of nourishing the heart and lungs and replenishing qi. ”

"Eating it regularly and quantitatively does have the effect of changing the state of the skin and improving the complexion."

For most girls, when the complexion is good, the skin is better.

It will look a lot better.

Qingtian: "What are you waiting for!" Hurry up and take out a small notebook and write it down! ”

Pork stewed vermicelli: "Chen Lao Shi also has to eat a little more, as the saying goes, a white covers a hundred ugliness, Chen Lao Shi you are a little dark." ”

Chen Er replied calmly, "You need to cover up your ugliness by becoming white if you are ugly, and I am not ugly, why should you become white." ”

Fans off-screen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

There was also a large neat hahaha or 233 floating on the screen.

Sunny day: "Laugh out the sound of a pig!" Hahaha! Chen Lao's wet skills are getting more and more powerful! ”

Pork stewed vermicelli: "...... Holding the grass, it was tricked!! ”

Tea eggs invade the earth: "I have finally found the reason why my skin has not turned white for so many years!" It turned out to be because I was so handsome......"

Chen Er's girlfriend: "Tea eggs, you really think too much, you are handsome, whether you have white skin or black skin, you are handsome, if you look ugly, you are ugly no matter what......"

Eat a pound: "It's heartbroken, Lao Tie!" ”

There is a tiger in the heart: "Summary, if you look ugly, you are ugly no matter what...... 360° Storm Cry in Place! ”

Chen Er took out a transparent glass jar.

It is filled with goose-yellow powder.

The colors are pure and gorgeous, and they are very beautiful.

As you know, it should be the rumored pine pollen.

"Here is a way to identify the authenticity of pine pollen."

Chen Er opened the jar and scooped out a little pine pollen.

Twisted a little in the fingers.

The two fingers rubbed lightly, and as soon as the fingers shook, goose-yellow fine powder flew out from his fingertips.

Fly out lightly, flying and falling.

Because the powder is so fine, from a distance, it looks like the large area of air in front of you suddenly changes color.

"Pine pollen is pollen."

"The pollen is too fine and light, so it can easily fly in the air, and it doesn't even need to blow the wind to spread out."

"Pollen falls in the air, like colored smoke or colored air, it doesn't look like powder at all."

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Chen Er, and sure enough, they saw a large piece of goose yellow in front of them.

It was like a faint goose-yellow smoke suddenly rising from there.

It's a bit of a dreamlike feeling.

Chen Er rubbed the remaining pollen on his fingers again.

Another feature of pine pollen is that even if you gently twist the pollen with your dry fingers, you can feel the wetness on your fingers.

"The pine pollen aroma is very weak, and it is a smell that is so faint that it can't be lighter."

Chen Er poured all the pine pollen into a large glass bowl.

Then start putting honey in.

"To make this pine cake, you only need two ingredients from start to finish."

"Pine pollen and honey."

"You don't need to add water, you don't need to add flour."

After adding the appropriate honey, Chen Er put on disposable gloves and began to knead the pollen into a dough.

Numerous pine pollen gathered together, and Chen Er finally smelled a faint fragrance.

The aroma of pine flowers is unique.

There is no sweet scent of other flowers.

The aroma of many flowers, no matter how strong or light, has a unified characteristic, a little faint sweetness.

But Songhua doesn't smell like this.

The smell of pine flowers is very light, and it has a bit of pine smell.

It was as if the yellow flowers that bloomed from this tree were not flowers, but the buds of a pine tree.

It's an amazing feeling.
