150, chestnut lotus cake (May 16)
Liu De, "What, what? Why, why is this happening? Didn't someone save you? It's just an ordinary sale. ”
Meng Mingzhou smiled bitterly, "What can I do?" There must be someone who doesn't want us to live well! ”
Liu De was nervous, Meng Mingzhou smiled and comforted, "It's okay, don't worry, I definitely won't go back in the next few years." When I go back in the future, I guess they won't remember me. ”
Liu De looked at Meng Mingzhou distractedly, and finally made up his mind, "Young Master, no matter what your identity is now, in Liu De's eyes, you are the same as the previous Young Master of the Meng family." As for this deed of sale, I have to trouble the eldest young master to hand it over to Miss Su! ”
Meng Mingzhou stared at Liu De's eyes, "Have you thought about it?" ”
Liu De nodded firmly.
Meng Mingzhou then smiled, "Okay, don't worry." ”
As for what to rest assured, Meng Mingzhou didn't say, and Liu De didn't ask.
The former master and servant chatted for a long time in the morning, and after Meng Mingzhou left, Liu De looked at Fang Liang in a daze.
In the stove room, Su Qiao demonstrated her self-created dim sum, she put the peeled chestnuts in the pot and steamed, and began to live the oil skin and puff pastry.
Su Rui, "............... Qiao'er, I remember that chestnuts are only available in autumn! ”
Su Qiao nodded as expected, "Yes." ”
Su Rui pointed to the chestnuts in front of her and asked, "Then where did you get these chestnuts from?" ”
Su Qiao pointed at Wang.
Wang said with a smile, "My mother's family sent it to me some time ago, there is a large chestnut forest in their village, every family picks a lot of them every year, puts them in the cellar, and can eat the chestnuts for the next year." ”
Su Rui raised her eyebrows, "How big?" ”
Wang was stunned, "What's big?" ”
Su Rui was happy, "How big is the chestnut forest!" ”
Wang reacted, "Oh, it's bigger than from the foot of our mountain to the dense forest. ”
Su Rui understood.
Su Qiao finished the work in his hand, and the chestnuts would take a while to ripen, and at this time he looked at Wang suspiciously, "Is there only a chestnut tree?" ”
Wang nodded, "Well, I also heard that there were other trees in the past, but in the past, the chestnut trees in the woods saved everyone in time, so after the disaster year, I cut down all the other trees in the woods and planted them all into chestnut trees." ”
Su Rui nodded, leaving these drought-tolerant and waterlog-tolerant plants, in case of repeated natural disasters, it is the most life-saving food.
After all, modern science and technology are so advanced that natural disasters cannot be resisted, let alone ancient times.
"Rui girl, are you at home?"
Mother Liu heard someone calling Su Rui, and hurriedly said to Su Rui, "Miss, someone called you." ”
Su Rui was immune to this title, and had begun to ignore herself, when Wang first came over in the morning, she was startled when she heard this title, and she got used to it later.
Su Rui remembered what Su Changsheng said yesterday, "Huh? It is estimated that he is coming to fetch water. ”
Liu's mother nodded, "Then I'll go and drive." ”
She was also not used to calling herself a slave, but Su Rui strongly demanded that she not call herself a slave or a villain in front of her.
Su Rui waved her hand, Su Qiao had already begun to take the chestnuts out of the pot and crush them, mix them with sugar, add some lard, fry them over low heat, divide them into small balls and put them aside to cool them thoroughly when they are warm, you can wrap the oil skin and puff pastry together and roll them out, repeat twice, and finally wrap the chestnut balls prepared before.
Su Rui saw that she was about to be flattened when she picked it up, and hurriedly asked, "Qiao'er, what are you going to do?" ”
Su Qiao was puzzled, "It's the same as the brown sugar cake in front." ”
Su Rui was helpless, "..............."
Mother Liu didn't care about welcoming people into the yard, they would leave after carrying water, she returned to the stove room, and heard Su Rui ask Su Qiao.
Stretched out his head to look at the chestnut crisp that had been wrapped in Su Qiao's hand, and said casually, "It can be made into a flower." ”
Su Qiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly looked at Mother Liu, "How to do it?" Mother Liu taught me! ”
Su Rui actually has a lot of ideas for modern dim sum, but she is just an ordinary peasant girl in this era, and she can't say anything, so she has to look at Mother Liu like Su Qiao and others.
Mother Liu is the one who has seen a big scene in the end, and she is not afraid of being watched by so many people at all, she just smiled faintly.
"Lotus, peach blossom, it's all right. However, this filling is relatively hard, not suitable for the shape of peach blossoms, I think it is suitable for making lotus shapes. ”
Su Qiao had never seen a lotus flower, and he didn't know what the lotus looked like.
"Qiao'er doesn't know how to do it, so please teach me to Mother Liu."
Mother Liu washed her hands with a smile, then took the chestnut crisp in Su Qiao's hand, pressed it gently, and took the knife to cut three times from the puff pastry, the knife just scratched the chestnut filling, but it would not leak out, so she stopped.
Su Ya looked at the chestnut cake in Liu Ma's hand in surprise, and saw Su Rui with a normal face, as well as Su Ying and Su Qiao, who were also shocked, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Mother Liu, is this a lotus?"
Mother Liu was happy, and looked at Su Ya and the others with a kind face, "Of course not, it won't be visible until it's blown up." ”
Mother Liu, "Do you want the third lady to pack with me?" ”
Su Qiao nodded, Su Ya on the side looked at it with envy, Mother Liu looked up and saw it, and then glanced at Su Rui and motioned for Su Rui to look.
Su Rui saw Su Ya's god of yearning, and said with a smile, "Sister Ya'er, there are so many things to prepare, and the two of them won't be busy for a while, do you want to do a favor?" ”
Su Ya pointed at herself in surprise, "Can I?" ”
Su Rui was happy, "Of course. ”
After boiling red bean sauce and applesauce, Wang helped to boil the pot, Su Rui poured lard into the pot, in fact, Su Rui wanted to pour peanut oil, but Liu's mother said that peanut oil has a big flavor and will overshadow the original taste of dim sum.
The oil temperature slowly increased, and Liu's mother carefully put the chestnut lotus crisp into the oil pot.
"Mrs. Wang, please make the fire smaller, the temperature of the frying oil should not be too high."
Wang was flattered, and hurriedly took out too much firewood and said, "Mother Liu is polite, just call me Wang." ”
Mother Liu smiled and explained to Su Qiao, "Third Miss, do you see that the top of this lotus flower is already bulging at this time?" ”
Su Qiao looked over, and when he saw that this was the case, he nodded hurriedly.
Liu's mother said this, and her hands kept operating, "You have to remember that when the top is slightly bulging, you have to use chopsticks to gently pluck it to help it stretch out the petals." ”
Su Qiao, "Then when is it good?" ”
Mother Liu picked up the chestnut lotus cake that was first put into the oil pot and motioned to Su Qiao to take a look.
"You see, as long as all the petals are spread out and set, that's fine. Remember, don't blow it up, or the color won't look good. ”
Su Qiao and Su Ya looked together, and saw that the puff pastry on each petal was clearly layered, layer by layer, petal by petal, as if with a fairy spirit.
