Chapter 9: Small desserts: anti-sand taro and osmanthus dew small dumplings

"Xiao Jiu, is this a new dish?" Qiu Jibei didn't chase what the taro was, but since he had eaten Xiao Jiu's wolf meat, he was very dissatisfied with the cooking skills of the chef at home, and now he couldn't wait to squat in Xiao Jiu's courtyard and wait for the small kitchen to eat.

"In that case, please come with me!" She made a "please" gesture towards the three of them, then glanced at them and motioned for Haruka to lead the way.

In just three days, Qiu Tian is still confused about the layout of Uncle Guo's mansion, if she doesn't have Chunxiang, she can definitely lose herself, not to mention the messy aunt relationship in Uncle Guo's mansion and the behavior of the half-brothers.

But she is the only one who knows two things best, one is Qiu Jibei and Qiu Jixi around her, and the two of them can be their own errands and collect information.

Another thing I know is her own small kitchen, which was originally used by Qiu Qian'an for fear that Qiu Tian would wake up hungry in the middle of the night, and specially opened a small stove for her, but now it has become her main canteen.

And in the past three days, she has drawn a composition of the small kitchen, waiting for Qiu Jibei to find craftsmen to make the corresponding tables, chairs, utensils and stoves for herself, and she also practiced her hands by the way during the waiting time, otherwise her body is too weak to withstand the high temperature and high pressure in the cooking process.

After all, what a farce of "running away from home" in front of her, she still knew that she had alarmed the biggest person in the palace, if it wasn't for that nod, Jiang Chaoye would definitely not have come to find herself so openly.

And Jiang Chaoye took advantage of every time he came to discuss matters with his eldest brother, he patted the memorials around her and brought words to "remind" her that she couldn't run around.

After all, the reason why she "ran away from home" now, even she herself can't say clearly, even if no one in the Uncle Mansion dares to mention this matter, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is an order, and deliberately avoids this matter. Therefore, during this time, she simply lived in her own small courtyard to recuperate and stay away from disputes.

But this head deceived Jiang Chaoye's subordinates, and this head provoked the god of the family-Qiu Qian'an, Qiu Tian couldn't help but sigh lightly, and this slight move was also seen by Qiu Qian'an, and asked sideways: "Xiao Jiu, but there is something upset?" ”

Qiu Tian looked at Qiu Qian'an's fatherly smile, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: It's not you who are upset by me......

"I didn't ...... No! Qiu Tian replied with a shallow smile, and then took the apron from Chunxiang's hand, and his movements were quick and skillful, which made Qiu Qianan raise his eyebrows unexpectedly, but he had not yet spoken.

And she turned around and gently pinched the basket of taro that had been prepared, but the taro was slightly solid but a little rebounded, and the skin was a little mud that had not dried out, and it looked very fresh everywhere.

After she skillfully selected a few taros and handed them to Chunxiang, Chunxiang immediately understood and helped her wash and peel the taro, and then she cut the washed taro into long strips of several sizes and poured them into a hot pot of water to boil water, and then accidentally stepped on a small wooden stick on the ground and her body was unstable, Qiu Qian'an frowned worriedly, "Xiao Jiu, or ......"

"Daddy!" Qiu Jibei made a quiet movement towards Qiu Qian'an, and motioned him to look at Qiu Tian, who instantly stabilized his body and pulled the bellows with one hand to blow the stove.

In an instant, the whole small kitchen was warm, driving away the chill, and the goose feathers and snow were still fluttering outside the house, but everyone in the small kitchen went to watch Qiu Tian come to every kitchenware easily, and he was not afraid of fire, boiling oil, and oil smoke, and his movements were quick but not rusty.

Everyone saw her drain the taro sticks half-cooked and quickly slide them into the oil pot from the side, but the oil pot did not have the oil shine like before, but "sizzled" like a small blister from a carp, and the taro sticks were warmed and fried little by little.

At the same time, she walked to another small stove and put a small pot of boiling syrup, put in the best rock sugar and white sugar, the ratio of the two was 3:1, the purpose was to improve the sweetness and color translution, in addition, she also poured in the osmanthus nectar that Qiu Qian'an had found for her to soak in water to warm her throat before autumn.

As soon as the jar of osmanthus nectar was opened by her, a burst of thick and pure osmanthus fragrance overflowed throughout the small kitchen like an aroma bomb, and even Qiu Qian'an was surprised that the aroma of osmanthus nectar was stronger than ever.

Qiu Tian smiled when she saw the three of them like this and explained: "Osmanthus nectar is very noble and afraid of fire and ice, but osmanthus nectar is very magical, if it can be preserved at room temperature, it will condense into frost in this cold winter, but it can be preserved like nectar in the warm kitchen, and the aroma accumulates in a faintly hot environment." ”

"Therefore, it is sweeter than the osmanthus nectar we have smelled and drunk in the past." Qiu Jixi's face was enlightened, but the next moment he asked rhetorically: "Then Xiao Jiu, what are you going to do with the osmanthus nectar?" ”

Qiu Tian originally took the osmanthus nectar out and wanted to make an anti-sand taro, and decorated it with osmanthus nectar a little, but she was pitted by Qiu Jixi for a dish, she wanted to touch the fish and steal the chicken and didn't want to do it, so she secretly looked at Qiu Qian'an who was looking forward to it, sighed helplessly, turned around and took out a small ceramic jar from the fireplace.

"The weather is cold and dry, so it's best to drink a bowl of warm and pleasant boiled meatballs with osmanthus dew." Qiu Tian talked to himself, and took out a jar of sweet potato powder with the best solid color, color, and powder quality that he finally asked Jiang Chaoye to get for him.

Sweet potato powder is like lotus root powder, but the world went to find lotus root to make lotus root powder, I was afraid that it would be difficult for a strong man, so she asked for this sweet potato powder to make some small desserts for herself to warm her body, but she didn't eat it and was busy with these people.

She watched as the water in the small pot on the newly opened stove had been tumbling, quickly put in the rock sugar to melt, and the sweet potato powder in the other hand blended with rain, gathering a bowl of small powder, and the bowl containing the powder was gently pulled high and fell, like a long dragon as smooth and smooth as water, and the cold powder hit the hot effect, and disappeared in an instant.

The clear and transparent sugar water slowly condensed, slowly turning into a clear liquid, and finally she beat an egg, stirred gently, and the egg white and yolk crushed and gathered, like gold and silver wisps, very bright.

After that, the small dumplings of osmanthus nectar condensed into frost on the side were also boiled, and the spring tea was carefully poured into small bowls such as Rong cups, and Qiu Tian carefully poured the gold and silver osmanthus dew in.

A bowl of gold and silver osmanthus dumplings was officially baked, Qiu Tian carefully held the cup and handed it to Qiu Qian'an, Qian'an looked at the warm gold and silver osmanthus dumplings in his hand, Lao Mu couldn't help but moisten, "Xiao Jiu, do you know that you will cook me a bowl of small dumplings when your mother is alive......"

Qiu Tian looked at Qiu Qian'an, who was almost in tears at the scene, the corners of his mouth pulled awkwardly, and changed the topic: "Daddy, Osmanthus Xiaotuanzi is the most suitable for this dry anti-sand taro." ”

She poured the drained anti-sand taro into the boiled syrup, and quickly stir-fried the taro sticks with a spoon, and this action was repeated until the syrup in the iron pot slowly dried up, and slowly turned into frosting attached to the taro sticks, and finally the frosting in the pot was all stuck to the fried golden taro sticks.

"A house full of gold and silver!" Qiu Tian walked to Qiu Qian'an with the anti-sand sweet potato strips and anti-sand taro strips in his hand, Qiu Qian'an looked at Qiu Tian's smiling face, and picked up the taro sticks with a smile and sent them to his mouth, and just for this moment, he was shocked by the taste of this taro stick.

"Xiao Jiu, how did you do it?" Qiu Qian'an looked at Qiu Tian in disbelief, which made Qiu Jibei and Qiu Jixi on the side hurriedly pick up the anti-sand taro sticks and eat them, and they were so shocked that they asked in unison: "How can this be?" Sweet and salty ......"

Qiu Tian saw the surprised appearance of the three of them, and smiled slyly, "As long as the proportion is right, not only can the salty and sweet be one, but also sweet and spicy, sweet and sour, sour and spicy, and even fragrant and smelly......

Qiu Qian'an looked at Qiu Tian's radiant appearance now, "In the past, when Xiao Jiu was radiant, he was doing nonsense with his brothers, but now he has found a piece of heaven and earth in the small kitchen......"

"Hehe...... Qiu Tian knew about the original owner's nonsense in the past, and smiled embarrassedly: "This is not a matter of wisdom, I will be obedient in the future, and I will not cause trouble for my father and brothers again." ”

"Xiao Jiu, you boiled small dumplings with osmanthus dew, the entrance is sweet, the cinnamon fragrance is tangy, and the taste is even more wonderful." Qiu Jixi did not hesitate to praise him, and after Qiu Jibei tasted it carefully, he said with emotion on his face: "This little ball tastes fine and sweet, osmanthus nectar seeps into the bowl and intertwines with this gold and silver egg shreds, sweet and warm but not greasy or dry, very nourishing." ”

Then he grabbed an anti-sand sweet potato strip and put it in his mouth, "Compared with the thicker taro sticks, I am afraid that I love this crispy and glutinous on the outside but also sweet and neutralized with the slightly salty icing on the outside, and the taste becomes rich and complex inside and out." ”

"Seventh brother, what are you doing?" Qiu Tian watched Qiu Jixi take things and pretend to be anti-sand sweet potato strips and anti-sand taro strips, and Qiu Jixi, who was discovered, smiled at everyone, "Xiao Jiu, aren't I afraid that it will be gone?" You also know that the eighth child has eaten many meals of your delicacies at your place all day, so I will ...... this little dessert."

The words are completely sour Qiu Ji Beitian has been eating and drinking these days, but Qiu Tian hasn't done much, Qiu Tian looked at Qiu Qian'an, but Qiu Qian'an simply took Qiu Jixi's anti-sand sweet potato strips wrapped in oil paper and stuffed them into his sleeves, "Old Seven, Old Eight, you have been bothering Xiao Jiu for a long time, and go back to the study with your father." The Father has something to ask you......"

"This ......" Qiu Jixi watched dumbfounded as Qiu Qian'an took away his anti-sand taro sticks and sweet potato strips, and Qiu Jibei winked at Qiu Tian with a smile, and pulled Qiu Jixi out of the small kitchen, but still left a message for Qiu Tian: "Xiao Jiu, I will still accompany you to dine tonight." ”

Qiu Tian faced Qiu Jibei, the brazen man, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Starling, there's no need." ”

"Since you don't want the eighth, then I'll do it!" Qiu Jixi's ghost came out without dissipation, looking at Qiu Tian greedily, as if Qiu Tian in front of him at the moment was a fragrant dumpling, and he couldn't wait to hide it.
