Chapter 340: Sugar Painting
Yin Xiyue had already made an appointment with Xia Yanfei, and she would take the fish seriously tonight, and she would not interfere no matter what happened to him in the kitchen.
As a result, after helping to peel the little potatoes, she who was originally sitting on the sofa sneaked into the kitchen and leaned against the door frame to look at him.
This girl was silent when she came, if she hadn't turned around and picked up something, Xia Yanfei wouldn't have noticed her coming.
……
"Girl, don't you want to touch the fish? We don't have any fish for dinner today, and you can't touch it even if you run to the kitchen."
He blinked earnestly.
"The fish I'm going to touch isn't that fish, the little witch is just a little ...... Well, I'm worried about your sword skills, that's all."
Yin Xiyue originally wanted to say that she didn't believe in his cooking skills, but this statement didn't seem to hold up on him.
This guy's cooking skills are not bad at all, and he is still quite powerful, and he has no need to worry about it at all.
"My knife skills are also very good, girl, and ah, today we are making tomato beef stewed small potatoes, do you really need too much knife skills?"
Xia Yanfei looked at the beef and tomatoes on the hob, this is just cut directly, it doesn't matter if it's neat or not.
Cut crookedly is more suitable for stews, and the tomatoes and beef will become soft and rotten anyway.
"This...... It's true that you don't need much knife skills, so let's switch to the fried sugar color technique?"
"You can put the fried sugar aside first, and at this time, I'll show you a funny thing for the girl."
The girl's words seemed to touch Xia Yanfei and reminded him of something.
He put the cleaned beef into the pot and blanched it for a while, and before the water boiled, he rummaged through the cupboard.
Yin Xiyue curiously drilled over and put her little head on his chest, wondering what he was looking for.
The big bad guy didn't look for it in the seasoning area of the cooking today, but was very interested in rock candy.
Xia Yanfei picked up a piece of rock candy and sniffed it under his nose.
Well, it's pear-flavored, and while it's not pure rock sugar, it's pretty suitable.
"Wow, Yanfei, do you like rock sugar to fry sugar? It's going to be a lot more difficult, and you've always fried it with sugar."
"No, girl, I'm not using these pieces of rock candy to fry sugar, I'm going to make a fun little pattern."
Xia Yanfei touched her head, turned around and put the iron pot on the fire.
This pot is usually used less, and it should be smaller, and it looks like this girl used it when she was younger.
At that time, Yin Xiyue may have had some difficulty using a normal-sized pot, girls, plus they are young, it is very reasonable to use a small pot.
I just used it to do it today, so it's easy to control the direction.
After turning on the fire, Xia Yanfei carefully adjusted the heat and put a large piece of rock candy into it.
It doesn't take too much, a few are enough, and her rock candy feels very good, solid in her hand, and the color is also very good.
Rock sugar is pure enough to make it more beautiful.
In order not to disturb his control of the pot, Yin Xiyue had already left in front of him and stood on the side.
She looked at Xia Yanfei's movements in confusion, according to the little witch's understanding of the kitchen, no matter how she looked, he was frying sugar, right?
Is there a unique way to fry the big bad guys? But she hadn't seen it either.
Xia Yanfei was not in a hurry, he shook the small pot slowly, for his strength, the feeling of this pot moving was too light.
It's like holding a spoon that eats ice cream.
From time to time, he also finds time to take care of the beef in another pot.
Under delicate control, the rock sugar quickly turned into syrup, which was caramel colored compared to the simple transparent syrup on the dessert.
Compared with the color needed to fry sugar, the current color is relatively light.
Xia Yanfei walked around the kitchen and successfully found a small wooden stick.
After washing, he put the ordinary little wooden stick on the plate, and the whole person became serious.
Yin Xiyue on the side was also affected by his atmosphere and came to the plate with him.
"Well, no matter how you look at this little stick, it's normal, and you can do magic too, big villain?"
The girl asked, looking back.
"I don't know magic, after all, not everyone can be as smart and cute as my little witch, this is not as magical as magic, but it is also fun."
Xia Yanfei picked up the small iron pot and carefully let the syrup flow down.
"Girl, when you eat the rock sugar gourd, you should like the sugar shell on it, I used to think that the sugar shell on the rock sugar gourd was made of ice, and every time I felt that it was not cold enough."
"Cover the surface of the ingredients with ice, this is a kind of little witch magic, but Yan Fei you put a small wooden stick, there are no ingredients for rock sugar gourds, hawthorn, oranges, grapes and kiwi fruit."
"What I'm going to make is not a rock sugar gourd, it's a sugar man, also called a sugar painting, which is painted with this kind of burnt yellow."
As he spoke, Xia Yanfei drew on the plate, without a pen, the material came from this hot syrup.
His idea was originally to draw a magic array in his mind, according to his understanding and observation of Yin Xiyue's magic, the magic array should be one here and one there.
As you draw, you have to have a big circle, and you have to put it in the middle of the pattern.
The magic circle looks like a clean line, but if it is not drawn in a specific order, the lines of those fights can seriously affect the layout.
Most of the time, they fail.
This is what Xia Yanfei talked about when he chatted with this girl before.
Magic is a bit harder, not just memorizing patterns, but also memorizing the order in which you draw them.
The little witch is still learning intermediate magic, and these magic arrays are both complex and difficult, and there are still a lot of them, which makes her very helpless.
Why is most magic so hard and not as fun as everyday magic......
Xia Yanfei tried to draw a magic array, but he soon found himself unsuccessful.
He should be glad that he had drawn the wrong stroke, otherwise under the influence of Yin Xiyue's magic power beside him, this magic array would have worked.
There is not much danger, but it will cause a power outage within a certain range.
Limited to this kitchen interior.
The girl sighed, stretched out her little hand, and placed it gently on the back of his hand.
With the help of the little witch, the rest of the work was much simpler, and Xia Yanfei only needed to control the amount of syrup that fell.
Soon, a different magic array appeared, and it was resting on the small wooden stick, lying on a snow-white plate.
"For the girl, this is very sweet, if you can't eat it at once, it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator, it will melt in summer."
