Chapter 5: Eight Treasure Porridge (Part II)

A small ingredient processing technique impressed Cao Kun and Su Cailing.

However, the handling of chestnuts is only the beginning.

Next is the in-shelled lotus seed.

Remove the shell of the lotus seeds, remove the bitter and astringent green core, and then put them in the pot and boil them with other ingredients? Jiang Yi shook his head, no, if you want to cook a pot of super high-quality 'Laba porridge', the lotus seeds should be soaked in alkaline water!

This is a little trick to soak lotus seeds, because, after drying lotus seeds, the shell is as hard as a turtle shell, and you have to go to the green core, if there is no alkaline water blister soft shell step, this is too difficult and too exhausting.

Alkaline water can be made with plant ash, ginger is easy to take gauze, wrap a ball of plant ash, and you can easily get a large pot of alkaline water by steaming method, and then, the dried lotus seeds are soaked in hot alkaline water for a short time, and the hand is gently rubbed, and the shell and skin of the lotus seeds fall off.

Finally, use a wooden stick the size of a toothpick to pierce the lotus seed from one end to the other, and the green core is easily removed.

Replace it with ordinary hot water and then soak the lotus seeds, and then put them into the pot to boil, so that it is easy to cook the lotus seeds, so that all the nutrients are scattered in the porridge.

Finely chop the longan.

Remove the pits and wash the red dates.

Almonds, peanuts, chestnuts mashed with a pestle.

When Jiang Yi was busy for a while, and the 'red beans' in the pot were also boiled until they were about 5 ripe, he took a spoon, carefully picked one of them, carefully squeezed them with his fingers to feel the hardness of the beans, and nodded: "The heat is in place." ”

Turning around and picking up the 'Ling Rice' that had been washed before and waiting for use, and throwing it into the pot, Jiang Yi instructed Su Cailing: "You help me watch the fire, wait a while, the water is boiling, and then put the chestnuts, peanuts and lotus seeds in it to boil." ”

Chestnuts, peanuts and lotus seeds?

Su Cailing nodded to indicate that she knew, but she still cautiously asked, "Is that all there are 3 things?"

"Yes, if you put it too much or put it wrongly, this pot of medicinal food will be ruined. Jiang Yi left a sentence lightly, and strode towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Su Cairou was also cooking her "Corn and Pumpkin Porridge".

Looking at the simmering heat and smelling the fragrance that permeated the room, it seemed that Su Cairou's medicinal porridge was about to come out of the pot and serve on the table.

Hearing the footsteps, Su Cairou turned around and found that it was Jiang Yi, and said in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yi asked: "Is there hawthorn or hawthorn cake?"

Observing the young man's expression, Su Cai said softly: "...... In your recipe, hawthorn or hawthorn cake is very important?"

Jiang Yi smiled: "It is the ninth 'treasure', in my personal recipe, it can be regarded as a stroke of gold, indispensable!"

Bang!

Su Cairou wrapped the edge of the crockpot pot with a papa, and lifted the pot from the stove pit, obviously, her medicinal porridge was finished, and a thick mist was emitting from the gap in the lid, Jiang Yi took a sip and felt that the stomach pouch was shaking.

"You wait. Su Cairou winked at him, dropped the freshly baked medicinal food, walked out of the kitchen, and left Su's house through the back door.

Jiang Yi returned to the courtyard.

It just so happened that when the copper pot was boiling, Jiang Yi opened the lid, and Su Cailing helped to throw in peanuts, chestnuts and lotus seeds, Su's sister Su Cairou also came back from outside, she put a small snack box on the stool, opened the lid, and there were neatly arranged square pastries inside, with a hint of sourness and sweetness.

"This is from the dim sum shop in the workshop. Su Cairou said.

"Aunt Lin's dim sum shop, there are a lot of ladies in the inner city who visit it every day!" Su Cailing showed her little tiger teeth slightly.

Jiang Yi took a piece and tentatively took a small bite, "Hmm!"

His eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Very pure hawthorn cake, sweet and sour, Jiang Yi's powerful tongue gave back to him, is a vivid production image, there is a kind aunt, with her back to him, carefully wash a basket of red fruits with water, boil the fruit in a copper pot, and then break the fruit into hawthorn puree......

A dim sum recipe was understood by Jiang Yi in the form of screen playback.

"I see!"

Jiang Yi said secretly: "Sugar, hawthorn, osmanthus sauce...... The quality of sand sugar is actually higher than that of industrial products in the modern world, and it is indeed because of the 'aura' that the crops have aura!"

The Su sisters looked at each other in amazement when they saw him chop pieces of hawthorn cake with a small knife.

Cao Kun said in a sullen voice: "Why do you want to put hawthorn cake in particular?"

Put the longan meat, hawthorn cake and red dates into the pot again, Jiang Yi closed the lid of the pot, clapped his hands, and then explained in a good time: "The therapeutic effect of hawthorn is too much, in addition to the most basic stomach and digestion, it can also lower blood pressure and fat, by the way, when the girl's aunt comes, she uses hawthorn to soak in water to drink, which can prevent and relieve menstrual cramps." ”

Great aunt?

Dysmenorrhea?

What is this, Cao Kun listened to the question marks on his face, and the Su sisters also heard it in a fog, Jiang Yi showed a very gentlemanly smile and said: "Even when it is the time of the menstruation, drink more hot water soaked in hawthorn." ”

"Phew!"

The sisters' faces immediately turned red.

After all the ingredients were put into the pot, Jiang Yi took out a few red firewood from the earthen stove and doused it with water, so that the fire in the stove became a small fire. Jiang Yi felt that it was very inconvenient, the fire of the earthen stove was inefficient, and it was difficult to control, if it was said that in a modern kitchen, the conversion of fierce fire and simmering fire was just a matter of a button.

However, Jiang Yi intuitively believes that this world is not so simple, he is still at the bottom of the well, let alone some judgments about sitting in the well and watching the sky.

Five minutes later.

"Done!"

Jiang Yi said, beckoned to Cao Kun, and threw him a piece of pabuk, "Help, bring a whole pot to the store!"

"It's simple. ”

Cao Kun wrapped the ears of the copper pot in cloth and easily lifted the cauldron, and Jiang Yi and the Su sisters also arrived at the store one after another.

Bang.

The copper pot fell to the ground, and as soon as Jiang Yi came over across the door, Cao Kun grabbed the lid of the pot impatiently, and said while lifting it: "I'll take a look at the color of this pot of medicinal food first, if it's confirmed that it's not a pot of stew, I'll taste it for my little sister first." ”

It seems that Cao Kun still has doubts about Jiang Yi's cooking skills.

"If it's okay, let the little sister eat and see. ”

With the idea of testing the poison for his sick sister very simply, Cao Kun couldn't realize what kind of medicinal food he had witnessed before he lifted the lid.

"Wow-"

The lid is loose and hangs in mid-air.

The dazzling light bloomed in Cao Kun's field of vision, and spread out, illuminating the storefront.

The facial expression changed from suspicion to being frightened by the light in the room, and this short expression changed in just a second. Cao Kun was dumbfounded: "This, this light, what the hell is going on......!"

Bang.

The lid of the copper pot fell off his hand and fell to the ground.

Affected by the harsh noise, the strong fleeting light also made Cao Ying, who was addicted to reading, seem to have encountered the effect of a flashbang, and her vision was white. She looked up in shock, not knowing what was going on, only to see her brother standing still, and Jiang Yi was also slightly surprised when he stopped at the threshold.

The Su sisters, behind Jiang Yi, were also stunned.

"Medicinal food, glowing?"

Jiang Yi muttered to himself in an uncertain tone.

Wow!

He complained in his heart, isn't this really the world of "China Banban" animation? How can there be such an outrageous thing as cooking and glowing, what kind of world did I cross over!

"Knock ......"

At this time, the system log panel full of sci-fi atmosphere pops up.
