"Do you want to be a filial son?" Xu Zheng said with a smile, and immediately pulled the two out of their slightly sad feelings after listening to the story. Don't doubt it, Xu Zheng is the best at this kind of oolong thing of boiling cranes and burning the qin.
The faint aesthetic scene was destroyed by Xu Zheng in an instant, Xiaoban glared at Xu Zheng with some annoyance, and said: "Advocating filial piety is never at any time, I like to give it to my mother first, I'm happy, can you manage it?"
Xu Zheng pulled away a grimace and said with a smile: "I'm mainly afraid that you will give it to Aunt Lucina to drink first." ”
Both of them were amused by Xu Zheng's expression, and Carlo said, "Look at the pot, don't cook it." When the cold shrimp becomes a paste shrimp, it will ruin your name. ”
"I can't afford it. Stir a few more times to get out of the pan. Xu Zhengqi said: "What is my name?"
Carlo was surprised, "You don't know yet, you're in the limelight in Downtown right now." There are those who call you a magical boy, there are those who call you the star of the wilderness, and even the big class, the small class, and Angel are stained with your light, and many people come to see these three teenagers who sell snacks. Of course, I am more interested in you, and there are even exaggerated stars who have already called you the imperial capital. ”
"They're not so boring, are they?" Xu Zheng was a little big-headed, and he didn't like these false names very much, and the pervasive reporters in his previous life left a bad impression on him. Generally speaking, once someone is noticed, there is a lot less privacy and freedom, which is a bit unpleasant.
Carlo looked at Xu Zheng's frowning expression and teased him, "I thought you would be very proud." ”
"No one will be proud of being the object of someone else's after-dinner pastime. ”
Carlo shrugged nonchalantly and said, "I don't think it matters, it's a good thing to be famous." And you don't have to worry about it, maybe in a few days people will lose interest in you because of the new goal. For example, a nobleman came out of an unknown place to fight an illegitimate child or something. ”
"I hope so. Xu Zheng pouted, seeing that the things in the pot were almost hot, so he went to the courtyard and dragged a clean wine vat over and filled it with water. Then he took a large sieve and poured the boiled things into the pot.
The cooked rice milk is now a paste that leaks through a small hole in the bottom of the sieve after being poured on the sieve. Due to the thick thickness of the rice cereal, it cannot leak smoothly, and when it overflows from the small hole, it will break off on the sieve and condense after encountering cold water.
The tank is covered by a sieve, and you can't see the situation in the tank, only the slight splashing sound is heard, and the fine and dense dots keep falling down. At first, Xu Zheng didn't pour it quickly, but he sped up after half a pot of rice cereal was poured in, and after pouring it all into the sieve, he squeezed it in the sieve with a spoon to make the falling process faster, so as not to lose the flow characteristics of the rice milk after condensation, and no longer seep down.
The dripping process ended quickly, Xu Zheng removed the sieve on the wine vat, Carlo and Xiaoban looked inside, and saw a vat of light yellow and white small shrimp balls floating in the clear water, only a big head and a thin tail with a round body, which looked delicate and soft, and the surface was crystal clear, which was very cute.
Carlo said: "I do have an appetite when I look at it. It's very flattering. But I don't think it's so much like a shrimp, it's more like a white and tender tadpole. ”
Xu Zheng looked at his first result, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It seems to be more like a tadpole, but it doesn't seem to be a good tadpole." It's better to call it cold shrimp. Forget there's a story behind it that is the basis for its name. ”
Xiaoban looked at the fat and white appearance of the cold shrimp, and couldn't help but feel itchy, and said eagerly: "So you can eat it?"
Xu Zheng said: "Don't worry. The freshly made cold shrimp has lime water when preparing the raw materials, so it must be rinsed first, otherwise it may have an astringent feeling when entering the mouth. You wait. As he spoke, he ran to the courtyard and dragged a large vat in, also filled it with clean water, took out the cold shrimp from the first tank, and put it into the clear water in the second tank to float away the excess lime water astringency. Once this is repeated, it's done.
Xu Zheng took two bowls and scooped the two bowls that were eight points full, found brown sugar to turn into sugar water, put it on the fire and boiled it for a while, and then took it off the fire after using a spoon to pull the sugar water into a thin line.
The next step is to prepare the other ingredients. Mash the peanuts into finely minced pieces, which should be granular and not over-heated and powdered. Then he picked out a few kinds of preserved fruits, this time using Lucina's kitchen knife instead of the two-handed sword, and cut it into small pieces for later use. Speaking of which, I have to say that the types of preserved fruits in the imperial capital are really rare, and there are not even regular raisins. Xu Zheng couldn't help but secretly think to himself, when he had the opportunity, he must try to make this kind of dried fruit preserved fruit that was popular in his previous life.
After making these preparations, Xu Zheng hooked the brown sugar water into two small bowls, one bowl was only mixed with brown sugar water, and the other bowl was sprinkled with peanuts and small pieces of the same kind of preserved fruit, and a small spoon was put in each of the two bowls and served to Carlo and Xiaoban.
Carlo and Ben each served a bowl, Carlo took the bowl with only brown sugar water, and Ben snatched the bowl with the ingredients.
The two of them lowered their heads and looked at the bowl for a long time, watching the shrimp balls floating in the brown sugar water, floating and heavi, really cute. I took a sip tentatively, only to feel that the glutinous ice was slippery and very easy to eat. The entrance of this shrimp ball will go straight into the abdomen, and the coolness will suddenly grow from the bottom of the heart, and the taste will be sweet and cool, which will make people feel refreshed and tired. The brown sugar water is cold and refreshing, and the cold shrimp has the characteristics of small, slippery, glutinous and refreshing, eating with a spoon is a feeling, and it is a feeling to drink it in a bowl, it is a feeling, it is really comfortable to quench your thirst, in this hot and dry weather, drink it, and it feels no better.
The two of them tried to taste it first, and then changed their mouths and drank a few times, and their brows stretched out in unison, only to feel that the boredom caused by the heat had been removed a lot, and they couldn't help but praise it, it was indeed a good thing.
Carlo drank all the contents of his bowl in three or two times, handed the bowl directly to Xu Zheng, and said unceremoniously: "Come again! This thing is simply a holy product to quench your thirst in summer." Seeing that Xiaoban still had half a bowl left, he smiled and stretched out a spoon to grab Xiaoban's bowl, tried a bite of the ingredients, and said, "This taste is better." However, it is not as refreshing as adding only brown sugar water to quench your thirst. The ingredients for peanuts and preserved fruits taste much sweeter, but it is not convenient to drink in large gulps. ”
Xu Zheng explained: "Originally, it was based on different ways of eating and adding different things. Those without ingredients are more suitable for quenching thirst in summer, and eating and drinking happily for people who are thirsty and hot. The one with the added ingredients is suitable for eating and playing slowly when you have nothing to do. In fact, the second is the real meaning of snack, the essence of snack is to eat and play while resting. As he spoke, he added the ingredients to the second bowl and let Carlo eat it slowly.
Carlo slowed down and tasted it slowly, only to feel that the cold shrimp was tender and silky, glutinous and sticky, with brown sugar water, refreshing and delicious. After adding the ingredients, the level of taste is much richer, the peanuts are crispy, the chew has a texture, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and then supplemented by the preserved fruit, and there is more sweet and sour and flexible feeling, which is indeed quite delicious. However, with Carlo's rough personality, he still prefers to only add brown sugar water, tilt his head and pour it violently, and let the slippery cold shrimp get into his stomach, which feels much happier.
Slowly eating the second bowl, still feeling unsatisfied, Carlo smiled: "I don't feel like it's enjoyable, let's have another bowl, just add brown sugar water, no ingredients, I like to pour it in a big gulp." It's a hot day, and it's weird if this thing is released and not sold wildly. It's a pity, if only it could be cooler. ”
After eating the first bowl, Xiaoban learned Xu Zheng's method and transferred a bowl to Lucina. He has always remembered the story of the cold shrimp. Now he was running back and was happily eating the second bowl, when he heard Carlo say this, he said, "You can put it in the river water to cool it down, and then sell it." The taste is bound to be much better. ”
Carlo said: "Spare the moat or the Nucang River? neither of them is close, and it will not be cool when it is cooled and transported back." ”
Xu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Why bother so much." "Stretched out his hands forward, did not close his eyes to gather momentum, only opened his heart to comprehend the heart of the ice element. Soon, those silver-white invisible elemental spirits rushed towards Xu Zheng with cheers. Carlo and Xiaoban saw the white mist rising from between Xu Zheng's palms, and quickly condensed two ice bombs the size of half a fist. Then Xu Zheng flipped his palm, grinned and held the two ice bullets with his fingers, and said, "Well, it's a little bigger than last time." ”
The spoon in Carlo's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and he lost his voice, "You are a magician?!"
"It's not. Xu Zheng smiled.
Xiaoban opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, surprised and delighted: "Brother Xu Zheng, where did you learn magic?
Xu Zheng scratched his scalp, a little embarrassed, and a little proud, and said, "I just learned." I'm not a magician, and as for magic, so far, I've only played with ice balls. Oh, and by the way, draw a few magic circles. With a smile in his mouth, he threw two ice bombs into the bowls of Carlo and Xiaoban, and said, "This time it is guaranteed to be cold and refreshing, and the cold shrimp are freshly baked!"
Carlo and Xiaoban had not yet woken up from the shock of the magic ice bomb that Xu Zheng had cast, and both of them stared at the ice bomb in the bowl, completely speechless.
Seeing Xu Zheng begin to re-condense the ice bombs, smashing them into the water tank like stones, Carlo couldn't help but say, "I want to call you Wonder Boy or that star now." How much do you know?"
Xu Zheng said nonchalantly: "Anyway, there are many skills that don't pressure the body, what you see and what you learn, anyway, magic is not too difficult." As he spoke, the ice bombs condensed out and threw them into the tank, moving faster and faster, and becoming more and more proficient.
It's not too difficult to learn magic?Carlo and Xiaoban looked at each other and closed their mouths in amusement.
"Sister Rucy is right, you're a freak. Xiaoban concluded.
Xu Zheng stumbled and almost fell headlong on the edge of the cylinder. He said angrily: "Go, go, go, go, what nonsense, quickly take it out and sell it." ”
