Chapter 287: Kneading glutinous rice balls
Mu Wuchen withdrew his hand regretfully and gently rubbed his fingertips.
"I'll wash the dishes."
As he spoke, he picked up the loofah, dipped it in alkaline water, and washed the dishes with rusty movements.
"You should have washed it." Gu Xiaoyou muttered dissatisfiedly, and quickly washed the bowl he had used in the basin.
Her two bowls had been cleaned, and the one in Mu Wuchen's hand had not yet been brushed.
I saw him holding a loofah, staring at the bowl in his hand with deep eyes, cleaning inch by inch, as if the archaeological team members were cleaning up the newly unearthed cultural relics.
"How long do you have to wash like this?" Gu Xiaoyou impatiently took the bowl and loofah from his hand, brushed the bowl neatly, and washed the chopsticks and spoon out easily.
Take the water basin next to it and carefully pass the water twice, wipe the water on the bowl with a clean cloth, and put it back in the cupboard.
Mu Wuchen watched Gu Xiaoyou's neat movements, cleaned his hands with clean water, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
shook the handkerchief in his hand, remembered that the handkerchief had wiped Gu Xiaoyou's face, and silently folded the handkerchief and put it back into his sleeve.
Gu Xiaoyou straightened the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, and suddenly asked out loud, "How does the cold powder taste?" ”
"Okay." Mu Wuchen replied lightly, walked to Gu Xiaoyou's side, and put the knives on the board back on the knife holder.
Seeing Mu Wuchen taking the initiative to help with the work, Gu Xiaoyou's anger in his heart dissipated a little, and he asked, "Which one do you like to eat?" ”
"Cool skin." Mu Wuchen replied without thinking about it.
Gu Xiaoyou shook his head: "You just like to eat meals that take a lot of effort." ”
Although the potato starch used to make the cold skin is easy to make, the cold skin needs to be kneaded, washed and settled, as well as the process of steaming.
Don't mention the gluten in the cool skin, you have to keep washing, at least three or four times, in order to wash out a good gluten with full toughness.
Therefore, Uncle Mu's Chrysostom is very picky, but this is also the reason why Gu Xiaoyou is willing to let him try the dishes.
Speaking of tasting dishes, Gu Xiaoyou remembered that last time he promised Mu Wuchen to make bubble tea for him to drink.
"Do you have enough time? Rushing home? "If you're in a hurry, just teach him to read the watch.
"There's no hurry." He deliberately set aside a day to be here.
Gu Xiaoyou smiled: "Then I'll make you bubble milk tea, and teach you to recognize the watch while drinking tea." ”
"Hmm." Mu Wuchen responded, thought for a while and said, "Do you want to help?" ”
"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile, this guy is very good, and he will take the initiative to help.
Taking out a jar from the storage cabinet, Gu Xiaoyou took out a bowl of powder from the jar, the color was not very white.
"Is this starch?" Mu Wuchen asked, remembering the last time she mentioned making pearls from starch.
"It's not starch, it's glutinous rice flour." Gu Xiaoyou put the jar back in the cabinet and explained: "Originally, I got cornstarch, but it wasn't elastic enough, so I tried several kinds of flour, and the best one was glutinous rice flour." ”
In fact, the first choice for making pearls should be tapioca flour, but tapioca flour is a plant of Savadika, and the Celestial Empire has to import it.
Not to mention in the unfamiliar Chaoyang country, where even the starch has to be made homemade, where to buy tapioca flour.
"Alas, glutinous rice flour is also good." Gu Xiaoyou said with a sigh.
Mu Wuchen raised her eyebrows, this girl was happy for a while, sad for a while, and a look of nostalgia for a while, where did she have so many rich expressions.
couldn't help but feel a little funny, and continued to watch Gu Xiaoyou's movements.
Gu Xiaoyou scooped a few spoonfuls of brown sugar into a porcelain bowl filled with glutinous rice flour, and took a pair of chopsticks to stir.
"I'll do it." Mu Wuchen took the initiative to take over the mixing work.
Gu Xiaoyou handed it to him unceremoniously and went to prepare other things, first poured a bowl of warm water, then found a clean porcelain plate, and sprinkled it with a layer of glutinous rice flour.
Prepare a pot, add water and set it aside on the stovetop.
Padding his feet, he glanced at Mu Wuchen's stirring, and saw that the glutinous rice flour and brown sugar were evenly mixed together, so Gu Xiaoyou picked up the warm water bowl and poured the warm water into it.
"Alright, wait here." She admonished, and turned to look for the panel.
Mu Wuchen stopped stirring and took the bowl to watch Gu Xiaoyou's busy work.
Gu Xiaoyou took out a panel from the locker, rinsed it with water, wiped the water droplets with a silk cloth, and put the panel on the desk.
Patting the panel, Gu Xiaoyou said, "Take it." ”
This girl is still addicted, Mu Wuchen sneered, and put the bowl on the panel.
Gu Xiaoyou reached into the bowl and kneaded it, kneading the stirred glutinous rice flour and brown sugar into a brown-red glutinous rice ball.
Take out the glutinous rice balls and put them on the board and knead them into long strips, then perform Gu Xiaoyou's favorite step to knead the glutinous rice balls.
She pulled off a small piece of glutinous rice ball, put it in the palm of her hand, kneaded the glutinous rice ball into small balls with both hands, and threw it into a porcelain plate sprinkled with a layer of glutinous rice flour.
The glutinous rice dough is glutinous and soft, like the colored clay played with when I was a child, which is fun and decompressing.
Gu Xiaoyou rubbed the glutinous rice balls briskly, with a happy and relaxed smile on his face, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked as if he was doing a very interesting thing.
Seeing that she was having fun, Mu Wuchen was also a little interested: "I'll help you do it." ”
"No, you don't." Gu Xiaoyou refused without thinking about it, rubbing the balls and feeling that he was a bit crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and then changed his words: "You wash your hands, and we will do it together." ”
"Hmm." Mu Wuchen responded, quickly washed his hands, and returned to the panel in a few steps, for fear that the dough would be kneaded by Gu Xiaoyou one step later.
"Pull this small piece off the glutinous rice ball, and then roll it into a ball."
Gu Xiaoyou grabbed a piece for Mu Wuchen to demonstrate, Mu Wuchen got through it at one point, and immediately started rubbing the balls.
The glutinous rice dough is soft to the touch, and because it is kneaded with warm water, it is still a little warm in the palm of your hand.
Mu Wuchen kneaded it in his palm and fell in love with the touch of glutinous rice balls, and he couldn't wait to knead it when he kneaded it into a ball.
Gu Xiaoyou was slowly rubbing the balls, and just threw the balls in his hand onto the porcelain plate, when he looked down and found that there was a handful of glutinous rice sticks left on the panel.
Looking at the porcelain plate again, I don't know when it was already two-thirds full, and when I was looking at it, a small ball was thrown into the plate accurately.
Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyes and saw that Mu Wuchen grabbed a piece of glutinous rice sticks, and after rubbing it with his big hands a few times, it became a ball, the action was fast and good, and the workers on the assembly line were not as good as him.
When did this guy love labor so much?
Gu Xiaoyou's eyes widened in surprise, she was stunned, Mu Wuchen had already kneaded all the glutinous rice sticks.
Rubbing his hands gently, Mu Wuchen asked with a pleasant attitude, "What else is there to do?" ”
"No, no." Gu Xiaoyou replied with a confused expression.
