Chapter Forty-Nine: Flawless Becomes Jade
When Alice came back in the evening, she brought them a downtown apple crisp for supper.
The skin is charred and crunchy, and when you bite into it, the apple filling overflows.
The four of them gathered around the common sofa in the dormitory, contentedly nibbling on apple crisps while planning what they were going to do tomorrow.
Except for Alice, who went out, the other three had been in the dorm all day. Everyone is an idle personality, and they especially want to go out to breathe if they don't go out for a day.
"I heard that the museum in L City has a new solo exhibition, should we go to see the exhibition?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the photos posted by Jennifer a few days ago when she saw Jennifer on Moments, "It seems to be a weaving process or something." ”
"Look at the exhibition..."
Jessica wasn't interested, "Now that it's a lot warmer, I still want to go out and soak up the sun." Eat something more delicious. ”
"Yes."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. She didn't really want to go to that exhibition, and she felt that she had seen a lot of that genre.
I ran out of ideas, and the atmosphere quieted down.
Lisa clicked like a rabbit on the edge of the apple crisp, thinking very seriously about what fun things could be done, but after thinking about it for a long time, it was a pity that she still found nothing.
"Or we google?"
Aris picked up his phone from the table first, "Let's see what's interesting on the Internet." “
"Okay, okay."
Su Xiaoxiao then took out her mobile phone, quickly typed in late February weekend to-dos, and flipped through them one by one with interest.
"Well, it feels good."
Clicking on a set of pictures, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "Some people say that you can go to Harris park for a picnic, as if you can go in mid-February." ”
"Picnic!"
Lisa was also interested, "I really haven't had a picnic in a long time, this can be there." ”
"Or a picnic?"
Jessica raised her voice and thought of something, "Wait a minute, just to be on the safe side, I'd better see if it rains tomorrow." ”
Thanks to the search, it will start to snow again tomorrow.
The sky was not beautiful, so everyone had to give up the plan to go to the picnic and temporarily changed to make apple pie in the dormitory, and planned to go to the supermarket early in the morning to buy some ingredients.
"Otherwise, let's just cook our own meals tomorrow and have an indoor picnic."
Seeing that everyone was a little disappointed, Jessica put down the apple crisp in her hand and proposed.
"Okay!" Su Xiaoxiao thought it was quite funny, "Then let's prepare a salad or something?" ”
"If you want to eat, you can eat some of yourself." Alice resisted completely, "I don't want to, I don't want to eat grass at all." ”
"I also think I can eat some fruit snacks."
Su Xiaoxiao sighed, "Then I won't eat it either, I'm not healthy with you." ”
I couldn't go on a picnic, but I was looking forward to it because I could cook my own food.
Su Xiaoxiao also specially asked Yan's mother for a recipe for making apple pie, and the four of them returned to their rooms with great anticipation, with infinite fantasies about the upcoming feast.
Before going to bed, Su Xiaoxiao did not forget to boast to the sea, saying that he wanted to make the best apple pie in the world.
The next day, when I went to the supermarket to buy ingredients and came back, it was almost twelve o'clock, and the four of them unloaded the big bags in their hands and collapsed on the sofa tiredly.
One person ate a small packet of Oreos to cushion their stomachs, and went non-stop to prepare the ingredients for apple pie and dinner.
According to the recipe given by their mother, they bought ready-made apple pie puff pastry, and they only needed to mix the filling.
"I'll cut the apples!"
Alice was the first to volunteer, "I cut all the apples in my house, and I'm so experienced, just tell me how many I need." ”
"I'll leave it to you, Aris."
Jessica unceremoniously pushed a packet of apples in front of Alice, "Then I'll wash the vegetables and prepare the food for the evening." ”
"Then I'll prepare the apple pie filling."
Su Xiaoxiao learned a lot from Yan's mother yesterday, and I feel quite sure about adjusting the stuffing.
Waiting behind Alice, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but steal a piece of apple, and when she took a bite, the juice came out, "Wow, this apple is so sweet, and it has enough moisture." ”
"yes, yes, I'd like to try it too."
Alice put down the fruit knife in her hand and opened her mouth wide to wait for Su Xiaoxiao to feed her.
"Right in front of you, take it yourself!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and squinted at Alice, holding a slice of apple in one hand. The next second, it was stuffed into Jessica and Lisa's mouths, and Alice couldn't get angry.
She was in a good mood and went to the shopping bag to take out the spices she had just bought, and hummed a song with hatred.
Thinking about it, I couldn't bear it, so I ran back and stuffed a slice of apple for Alice, "Princess Aris, are you satisfied?" ”
"Well, it's not bad."
Divide the tart peel in half, then squeeze a little lemon juice on the sliced apples to prevent the apples from oxidizing, and Su Xiaoxiao expertly adds flour, sugar, cinnamon, sweet pepper, cardamom powder and vanilla extract according to the recipe.
"Ah, we seem to have forgotten to buy an electronic scale!"
Everything shook a little casually, and Su Xiaoxiao suddenly slapped his head, "Come and taste it, is this taste okay?"
"I'll taste it."
Lisa took a small fork and dipped the syrup in her mouth and took a sip, "It still feels a little sour, isn't it that the apples will become more sour after they are cooked." ”
"Then some more sugar."
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the sugar jar on the table and sprinkled sugar into it, "Is it okay to have other flavors?" ”
After that, he held up the cinnamon powder again, "Would you like some more cinnamon?" ”
"Don't, let's do it first."
"I'm not afraid of a lighter taste, isn't there vanilla ice cream?"
"Okay."
Seeing that everyone is conservative, Su Xiaoxiao is ready to follow the general trend, "Then that's it?" Shall I pour it into the puff pastry? ”
It was the first time to make desserts, and the four of them didn't dare to come out, so they held their breath and watched Su Xiaoxiao pour the filling into the puff pastry little by little, then cover the other half of the puff pastry just left, and finally put it in the preheated oven.
Waiting for the apple pie, Chef Sasa made another spinach in soup and a shredded sweet potato, and Su Xiaoxiao and the others went to heat up the takeaway they bought, and it seemed that it was going quite smoothly.
A few people went to see the apple pie in the oven every five minutes.
I don't know if the temperature is too low or everyone is too anxious, half an hour has passed, and the puff pastry on the surface is only slightly fluffy, but it has not turned yellow.
But the dishes on the table are a little cold.
"Otherwise, let's have some food first."
Alice swallowed, "I didn't eat properly at noon, and I'm still a little hungry." ”
I didn't think that when Alice said this, Su Xiaoxiao's stomach screamed angrily.
Everyone unanimously decided to eat the vegetables first, and the apple pie was used as a dessert after the meal.
I can't see that Lisa's craftsmanship is quite good, the outside of the shredded sweet potatoes is crispy, but the sweet potatoes inside are sweet and soft and glutinous.
The sweet and sour pork ribs and garlic white meat packed in Chinese restaurants are also very suitable for their tastes. I accidentally ate it and forgot about apple pie completely.
Jessica let out a scream when she smelled the baked paste, and her four hairy heads leaned over to the oven and scrambled out of the oven with the dying apple pie.
The apples inside were roasted softly and bubbling, and the middle part was fine, but the puff pastry was charred and smoked brown.
Su Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, thinking that she knew that she wouldn't brag yesterday.
But he didn't want to affect everyone's mood, so he smiled and comforted Saska, "Let's just take off the outside circle, the focus of apple pie is apples, right!" ”
"Yes, yes."
Alice pulled the ice cream out of the freezer again, "Let's eat it while it's hot, the ice cream is melted with apple pie, ah, it's so happy to think about." ”
Thinking about it, the mood became clear again, and everyone divided a large piece of apple pie and added a large spoonful of ice cream.
The hot apple pie is steaming, and the ice cream at the bottom melts quickly on top of the pie and slowly flows onto the plate.
Lisa took a big puff and put it in her mouth, narrowing her eyes happily.
"It tastes just right, it's delicious."
"Really!"
Alice and Jessica also took a big dig and put it in their mouths.
Sweet and sour, with a slight sip, the aroma of cinnamon and cardamom bursts out.
Su Xiaoxiao happily waved her arms, although it was a little burnt, but it was really the most delicious apple pie she had ever tasted.
Immaculate is not a jade, and imperfection itself is a kind of perfection.
