Yesterday, I agreed to the second brother's request to make a dessert for the second sister-in-law.

She decided to make a time-consuming food – of course, no matter what dessert is made in this day and age, it is time-consuming – lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake.

As the name suggests, it is made of lotus root powder and osmanthus flowers.

What should I do if I don't have lotus root powder?

Do it yourself!

It seems that there is no glutinous rice flour either?

You can also do this yourself!

Osmanthus flowers are only available in autumn!

Yourself, cough! I'll make lotus root flour cakes.

Due to the limited ingredients, Li Yi had to give up the "osmanthus" in the lotus root flour osmanthus cake.

After accompanying the old lady to breakfast, she led people to the place where the grinding plate was placed in the house.

According to Li Yi's arrangement, Aunt Lu has already put the lotus root she bought here. A group of people cleaned the grinding plate, peeled the lotus root, and cut the lotus root into pieces, and they were very busy.

Pour the lotus root cut into small pieces into the grinding disc, and add water continuously as the grinding disc rotates. Filter the grinding liquid with gauze, and the lotus root powder water is ready. The rest is that it takes time to settle.

After four hours, that is, two hours, the water on the surface is poured out, and the bottom of the basin is clumped into lotus root powder.

Dig out the lump lotus root flour, wrap it in gauze and hang it. Blow for an hour and it's set into a block that is easy to cut. Cut these lumps of lotus root flour into thin slices and leave them outside to dry all day, and the delicate lotus root flour is ready.

20 catties of lotus root, only about one pound of lotus root flour made. It's a bit distressing indeed.

Carefully store the lotus root powder in a jar.

While waiting for the lotus root flour to settle for four hours, Li Yi was not idle, kneading a smooth dough with flour. Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, put the dough in clean water and start washing.

She washes the dough and washes the dough, and she doesn't let the water pour after washing! Collect it. She also arranged for two people to join her dough washing business.

Soon, a large piece of dough becomes a small piece of gluten, and the water underneath is also set aside to settle. It is also four hours, and the facial cleanser is poured out of the surface water like lotus root powder water.

The rest of the steps are the same as making lotus root flour, and the wheat starch is also done.

It took two days to do this, and even the old lady couldn't help but wonder what she was up to. My granddaughter has always been good at cooking, but what does it taste like this time when she didn't make it all day?

These days, Li Yi changes her tricks every day to make food for her, and she has long been conquered by food. She couldn't wait to get a taste of it.

Lotus root flour and starch take a day to dry. Li Yi did not disappoint the old lady either. That night, he gave her another surprise: Liangpi.

In the early stage of making starch, it is the same as making cool skin. The difference is only in the water in which the flour is washed, which does not need to settle for 4 hours, two hours is enough.

Pour the water on top and leave a thick liquid. Pour the liquid into a clean container, steam it for two minutes, and a piece of cold skin is done.

Avoid cold skin sticking and apply a layer of oil to the bottom of the container.

Cut the cold skin into strips, add cucumber shreds, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic water and stir well, and the refreshing cold skin is ready.

There was no peanut butter and gluten in it, Li Yi was still very sorry. A cool skin without peanut butter and gluten is soulless.

The gluten in the cold skin is steamed with yeast to make it soft. She has no idea what is used to make noodles in this era. She didn't know how to make peanut butter either.

Looks like it's time to look at the system.

After doing so many things today, she was tired enough, she just wanted to take a shower and go to bed quickly, and talk to the system to sleep for a while.

Chen's mother came to the door while she was taking a shower.

Li Yi came out of the clean room and found Chen's mother sitting on the couch with the recipe written by Li Yi in her hand. It was impossible not to be nervous, she was afraid that Chen's mother would find out that her handwriting was different from Chen Xiaoyun's.

"Go down, all of you." Mother Chen opened her mouth and sent everyone out of the door.

Li Yi also wanted to go out with them. Mother Chen's appearance of having something to say made her feel weak.

"Mother, this is?" She plucked up her courage and couldn't run away from what she should have come. Since Mother Chen was sitting in front of her, she took the initiative to speak.

Chen's mother looked at her daughter again by the candlelight, her eyes were like stars, her face was like the moon, and she stood in front of her. I can't help but sigh: It's so good to be born.

"Come here."

Li Yi sat beside her softly, and Chen's mother took out a towel to wipe her daughter's wet hair: "Why does the hair come out without wiping?" It's easy to catch a cold. ”

"It's too stuffy in the clean room, come out and wipe it again." I don't know the intention of Chen's mother this time, Li Yi's body is still tense.

"Have you been out of the house lately?" Mother Chen's hands kept on and asked questions that made Li Yi even more nervous.

Could it be that I believed the wrong person, and Xiaohong told the truth?

"The last time I met the daughter of the Tobe squire's family, she was very enthusiastic, so we chatted. Yesterday I went to the market and sat with my second brother in the crane tower. Li Yi licked her lips, "Nothing special." ”

"Heh", Chen's mother smiled: "You don't have to go into such detail. I just wanted to talk to you. "My daughter's hair was no longer dripping, and she put down the towel. With a finger comb, slowly comb through your daughter's hair.

"You didn't like to socialize with people since you were a child, you didn't have friends. It's rare to meet someone who can talk to you for a few words. Have you ever exchanged names? ”

"Her name is Song Yihan. I didn't talk very much, but she was very warm to me. "It's not just enthusiasm, it's just haunting me!

"She's a discerning person! Would you like to have fellowship with her? ”

Li Yi pouted, do you think that your daughter is good everywhere, and others should like her. Can others look down on my identity at all?

She had to make reservations: "We have a huge disparity. Fellowship with her may be suspicious of clinging. ”

Mother Chen heard the inferiority complex in her tone, paused with her hand to comb her hair, and said lonely: "Mother is sorry for you." ”

What does it have to do with you? You can't decide where I came from. Besides, I don't mind that. She hurriedly turned around to comfort Chen's mother, but was stopped by Chen's mother.

"If you want to make friends with her, don't worry about identity. If you don't want to socialize, don't associate with her. ”

Li Yi didn't understand the meaning of her words, and Chen's mother continued: "A woman's identity in the rest of her life depends on her husband's family. And not the maiden family. ”

Can I still marry someone with a high status like me? Although she was curious about what Chen's mother planned for her marriage, it was inconvenient to ask, so she had to end the topic: "My daughter knows." ”

The conversation just now broke the warmth between mother and daughter, and Chen's mother seemed to be in a hurry to leave: "You have made a lot of food recently, which you have never seen before." When things go wrong, there must be demons, and many people with a heart will make a fuss. It's better to keep a low profile. ”

Li Yi had already thought about and explained this question: "When my daughter went out for the first time, she found an ancient book that recorded the practice of many foods. The recent ones are all made according to the practices seen in ancient books. ”

"I wouldn't ask you for this book, but I can't guarantee that no one else will. Don't lose it. Chen's mother didn't seem to believe in the existence of this book, and she reminded her daughter to make a copy quickly.

This book was indeed fabricated by her out of thin air, how can there be so many ancient books. This is the method that Lin Tiankuo thought of for her.

If someone really uses this to attack her, you can gag them. Moreover, after the restaurant is opened, it needs to be promoted, which can be achieved by using ancient books.

What Li Yi has to do is to provide the recipe, and he is responsible for finding someone to arrange a reasonable origin for the book.

"Mother Xie reminded."

Seeing that she understood what she meant, Chen's mother got up and went back to her yard.
