Chapter 66: The Distraction Wood Stays
Lin Yu'an smiled and said, "Yes, it's sweet, it's very fragrant and delicious!" ”
Nodding slightly excitedly.
"Good!"
Even Luo Luo had an expectant expression.
It seems that both ancient and modern girls have a sweet tooth.
However, Lin Yu'an remembered the original purpose of making frosted walnuts, so he asked, "Why didn't Ah Xian follow?" ”
"He went home."
"Oh."
Lin Yu'an was a little disappointed, she originally wanted to use frost walnuts to lure. Confuse Xiao Chubby Dun and let him talk about the fire in the East Palace, but there is no way to do it if the people are not there.
Fortunately, after the walnuts are ready, they can be stored for a while.
"Let's deal with the walnuts first, does Aunt Qian have pliers?" After Lin Yu'an asked Qinghe and Hongling to move the basket of walnuts out, they remembered that tools were needed to remove the shells.
"Pliers? What is that? Chef Qian looked at her suspiciously.
“!!”
Isn't it, there are no pliers in this era?
Lin Yu'an was a little stunned, but in order to remedy it, he hurriedly said: "Ah, I said it wrong, it should be a hammer, used to knock the shell ......"
But before she finished speaking, she saw that Xixi and Luo Luo were each holding a walnut, and it broke with a gentle pinch.
"So easy?"
Hei Xi nodded, "Yes." ”
Lin Yu'an thought that this basket of walnuts was the same as the paper-skin walnuts she had eaten in her previous life, so she also learned to pick one up and pinch it in her hand like the two of them.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the shell of the walnut remained intact very firmly, and not even a trace of cracking appeared.
Lin Yu'an's palms were also red because of this, and there were several deep strangulations in it. Trace.
Seeing her like this, Xi Xi directly took away the walnuts in her hand, still pinching them lightly with her small hands.
Shell...... Shattered.
“……”
Lin Yu'an hurriedly grabbed Xixi's little hand and looked at it, not to mention the redness, there was not even a trace.
"Then you two can help pinch the walnuts, if you're tired or... When his hand hurts, he stops and hits with a hammer. ”
"Okay."
When they were pinching the walnuts, Lin Yu'an took Qinghe and Hongling's mother and daughter to quickly take out the walnuts.
However, the speed of the four of them is not as fast as Xi Xi and Luo Luo.
Looking at the relaxed faces of the two, Lin Yu'an felt a sense of powerlessness.
Alas, those who know martial arts are powerful.
It's a pity that her health is not good and she can't practice martial arts.
With everyone's cooperation, a large pot of walnut kernels was peeled out, and Qinghe was about to throw the walnut shells into the fire as firewood.
"Wait, Distraction Wood stays!"
Lin Yu'an suddenly remembered the role of the distraction wood.
Qinghe: "Distracted wood? ”
"This is it." Lin Yu'an picked up the layer of clothing used to separate the walnuts inside.
"Ah, this thing is called a distraction wood, huh? What's the use? Qing He was a little curious.
Lin Yu'an said with a smile: "This is a very good Chinese medicinal material, it can play a role in strengthening the kidney...... Uh, cough, cough. "It doesn't seem to be easy to tell them about the symptoms in the back, and they are all children," in short, if you take it with distraction wood decoction water, if you eat it regularly, it can play a role in prolonging life. ”
Qing He looked at the things in his hand in a daze, and said with annoyance: "It turned out to be so useful, it was all wasted before!" ”
Hei Xi looked at the distractions and blinked.
Lin Yu'an patted Qinghe's hand, "It's okay, just keep it in the future." ”
Because of her words, everyone carefully picked out the distraction wood from the walnut shell.
A question suddenly occurred to Luo Luo.
She reminded, "Aren't you going to remove that layer of clothing from the walnut kernels?" If you don't remove it, it will taste bitter. ”
"No, it's just a little bitter, it's not in the way."
"Oh."
After everything was dealt with, Lin Yu'an began to instruct Chef Qian to fry walnuts and brown sugar.
Originally, she wanted to do it herself, but she couldn't reach the stove due to the height limit, so she wanted to stand on the stool, but Chef Qian and Hongling stopped her desperately, so she had to let Chef Qian operate.
"It's okay to fry a little crispy and fragrant, and use low heat."
Chef Qian: "Okay." ”
As soon as I got out of the pot and started to fry, the aroma came out immediately.
After Chef Qian brought out the fried walnut kernels, Xixi stared with wide eyes.
"Here, taste it."
Lin Yu'an picked up a piece of walnut and fed it to her mouth.
"Crispy, fragrant!"
Xi Xi smiled and gave an evaluation.
Luo Luo looked at Xi Xi in surprise, as if he didn't expect her to have such an expression.
"You can try a piece too."
After Lin Yu'an finished eating it himself, he was very satisfied with the taste, and saw that Qinghe was also staring at the basin, so he asked everyone to try it.
Qinghe: "Well, it's delicious! ”
After Luo Luo finished eating, he also nodded in agreement.
In fact, they have eaten fried walnuts before, but for some reason they think this time they are particularly fragrant and crispy.
After Chef Qian and Hongling tried it, they both remembered this taste, and when they wanted to eat it in the future, they could make it again.
Lin Yu'an: "Pour a spoonful of water into it first, and then start frying sugar." ”
"Okay."
Originally, white sugar was supposed to be used, so that there would be the effect of hanging frost, that is, there was a layer of white on the outside.
However, white sugar has not yet been developed, so only brown sugar can be used.
The taste is actually the same.
When Chef Qian poured Xixi's crushed brown sugar into the pot, the sweet aroma wafted in the air for a while.
"The fire is a little bigger, otherwise the sugar will turn back."
Hongling, who was controlling the fire, immediately responded, "Okay." ”
When the crushed sugar melts into syrup, many bubbles begin to emerge, and then the bubbles disappear again.
At this time, Lin Yu'an shouted: "Hongling, small fire, let the syrup slowly turn light amber." ”
Hongling: "Okay!"
Seeing that the syrup in the pot began to bubble again, Lin Yu'an immediately shouted: "It's now, pour in the walnut kernels and stir-fry quickly." ”
Chef Qian hurriedly did as she said, and with a few "zila" sounds, all the walnuts were poured into the syrup.
It was only at this point that Lin Yu'an remembered that he had missed something.
"Oops!"
Qinghe asked nervously, "What's wrong with Xiangjun?" ”
"I forgot to add sesame seeds." Lin Yu'an was a little regretful, "Forget it, it's just a little less fragrant, and it's not in the way." ”
Hongling immediately stood up, "My mother fried some sesame seeds before, and I plan to make dim sum during the New Year, I'll take them out?" ”
Lin Yu'an's eyes lit up.
"Okay, get it."
After the sesame seeds arrived, Lin Yu'an asked Chef Qian to sprinkle some into the pot and mix them with walnuts and syrup.
Because he didn't want to eat too hard, he just fried it a little, so that the walnuts were full of sugar and sesame seeds, and Lin Yu'an shouted the pot.
Chef Qian quickly put the walnut kernels wrapped in syrup into the basin and cooled.
Lin Yu'an held chopsticks and separated the large walnut kernels that were stuck together.
Due to the cold weather, those frosted walnuts quickly cooled.
Lin Yu'an picked up another piece and handed it to Xixi's mouth, letting her taste it first.
"Delicious, right?"
"Sweet, crispy!"
Xi Xi looked at the basin suspiciously, "Hanging frost? Not in vain. ”
