Shen Jiao looked at the clock on the cabinet, a little more than nine o'clock, and if she did it faster, she could catch up with her grandfather and Zhu Siya to eat at noon, and immediately took out a handful of lotus seeds, which were small and black, like sesame seeds. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Han Sigui saw these black seeds that he had never seen before, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are these?" Can you make jelly? ”

"This is Mulian seeds, which is the fruit of a plant called Mulian, you don't produce it here, there is only this plant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and people there like to use Mulian seeds to make cold powder jelly and eat, it's delicious."

Shen Jiao patiently explained, washed her hands carefully, then took out a clean gauze, put a handful of lotus seeds into the gauze, tied it tightly with a rope to form a gauze bag, and then brought the cold boiled water that had been spread out in the morning, and kept squeezing it in the basin with the gauze bag in her hand.

Making Mulian Jelly is actually very simple, that is, wrap the Mulian seeds in gauze, and then squeeze them vigorously, then there will be transparent and viscous juice flowing out of the gauze and mixing with cold water.

The key to making cold powder jelly, one is naturally that the lotus seeds should be full and high-quality, and the other is that the water quality should be good, preferably mountain spring water, followed by well water, and then tap water.

Shen Jiaxing used to send people up the mountain to pull the mountain spring water in order to eat the best Mulian jelly, and he also tried his best to stutter.

Shen Jiao only squeezed it more than a dozen times, and some gelatinous juice flowed out, and the originally clear and transparent water in the basin also began to solidify, just like the glue, slowly condensed, and Han Sigui was very surprised.

"It's quite interesting, can it be delicious?" Han Sigui was very skeptical that this thing could be delicious.

Shen Jiao gently wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with the back of her left hand, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's delicious or not, it will be done well, and you will know it after eating!" ”

Qi Huarong and Han Sili came over with a cool cake, and the pale green cake was cut into a beautiful diamond shape by Qi Huarong, and it was neatly stacked on the plate, with a plate of about a dozen pieces, and a total of two plates.

"Ouch, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Qi Huarong stepped into the room, he saw Han Sigui standing beside Shen Jiao and looking at Shen Jiao quietly, the atmosphere was very harmonious, which made Qi Huarong feel a sense of crisis.

When did Han Sigui become so friendly with Shen Jiao?

Han Sigui looked back and saw her, so he smiled and said, "Shen Jiao wants to make cold powder jelly, I'm watching what she does." ”

Qi Huarong saw that Han Sigui treated her the same as before, and felt a little at ease, but she was even more angry with Shen Jiao.

She just made a cool cake, you Shen Jiao will make a cold powder jelly, if it weren't for Chengxin's heart to fight against her, her name would be written upside down!

"Sigui, Sister Shen, let's take a break and eat cakes, it's all cold now, it's time to eat delicious!" Qi Hua tolerated the anger in his heart, and smiled and invited a few people to eat cakes.

Shen Jiao looked at the cake on the plate, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart, this Qi Huarong is really good at pretending, it's obviously mung bean cake, and it has to be called a cool cake!

When did the cool cake become mung bean cake?

This girl is so good at pretending!

Shen Jiao didn't have much interest in mung bean cake when she saw it, she just wanted to eat some smooth and refreshing jelly on a hot day, but she didn't want to eat dry mung bean cake, Qi Huarong's mung bean cake looked like Kyoto's method, she didn't add any oil, it tasted a little dry, it didn't suit her taste, she still liked to eat some mung bean cakes in the south.

"Eat first, I'll do this first." Shen Jiao politely refused.

Qi Huarong didn't say anything more, anyway, she didn't want Shen Jiao to eat, but now it's better for Shen Jiao not to eat herself, so that others can't find fault with her.

Han Sili and Han Sigui sisters and brothers ate several pieces, but they also drank a lot of water, and Han Sili said like a little adult: "Sister Qi, your cake is not cool at all, I will drink a cup of tea when I eat a cake, and my stomach is full!" ”

"Ouch, I'm going to shhh

The little guy ran towards the thatched house very quickly with his legs between his legs, and came back with a comfortable face after a while, reaching out to grab the cake to eat, Qi Huarong frowned, but he didn't say anything, but Shen Jiao couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded: "Li, have you forgotten to wash your hands after convenience?" If you eat like this, there will be worms in your stomach when the time comes, and a belly of worms will grow and you will grab food to eat. ”

Han Sili was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to wash his hands, and also made soap, and washed it fragrantly, so he sighed reassuringly: "I can save my food now." ”

Shen Jiao couldn't help laughing, hurriedly lowered her head and continued to squeeze the gauze, kneading it for about half an hour, the water in the basin was basically gelatinous, and the lotus seeds in the gauze had also turned into slag, and she couldn't squeeze out the juice anymore.

Shen Jiao exhaled, put the gauze aside, washed her hands, took out a packet of lotus root powder from the cupboard, and scooped two spoons of lotus root powder into the basin.

Then pick a few mint leaves from the front of the house, put them into the pounding mortar and pound them into juice, drop them into the basin, mix them with a few strokes by hand, and smooth them out, the lotus jelly is considered to be complete, and when you put it in the mountain spring water to cool down, you can eat a refreshing and delicious jelly.

The transparent and crystal jelly looks particularly pleasing to the eye, making people feel a lot cooler before they eat it, Han Sili swallowed his saliva and asked, "Sister Jiaojiao, when can I eat this jelly?" ”

Han Sigui also showed a yearning look on his face, and looked at the basin with his eyes, which made Qi Huarong even more jealous.

"I'll eat it at noon, and I'll put it in the pool." Shen Jiao picked up the basin and put it in the mountain spring pool in front of the house, where the sun could not shine, and it was as cool and cool as well water.

"We all make cold noodles in Kyoto with mung bean starch or lotus root flour, what is Sister Shen made of? Never seen it before? Qi Huarong asked intentionally.

Han Sigui hurriedly replied: "It's a lotus seed, Shen Jiao said that it was her way there, it was delicious." ”

"I haven't heard of the lotus seeds, but it's well documented? Sister Shen should be careful, there are some mountain foods that cannot be eaten indiscriminately. ”

Qi Huarong almost didn't say clearly that your Shen Jiao's lotus seed is poisonous, but Han Sigui is a straighter character than Mao Zhu, and no matter how smart Han Sili is, he is also a seven-year-old little girl, and the two of them didn't understand Qi Huarong's allusion at all, and looked at her ignorantly, not understanding what she was talking about.

Shen Jiao was too lazy to tremble with her, and said directly: "You have to find out the source of something to eat, Miss Qi, you are really good at tossing, besides, why can't you eat food indiscriminately?" What can people in the mountains eat, where can't people in the city eat it? Miss Qi, don't you just live in the mountains now, drink the water from the mountains every day, eat the vegetables in the mountains, and you don't see you sick! ”

Han Sili understood this time, Qi Huarong was saying that the mountains were not good, and he immediately shouted angrily: "What's wrong with our mountains?" It's a piece of feng shui treasure! ”

Qi Huarong hurriedly smiled: "I didn't say that the mountains are bad, of course Xinquan Village is a good place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are outstanding, I just asked Sister Shen to be careful when cooking, don't use everything to eat." ”

Shen Jiao said angrily: "Then don't eat it!" ”
