Chapter 101: Osmanthus Cake

The next day, the weather was sunny and cloudless, and Su Lanxi was instructing her second daughter-in-law to make pastries in the kitchen.

"Lotus, this pastry is similar to cooking, both pay attention to one heart.

There can be no sloppiness in the process of kneading and fermenting.

Today, my mother will teach you to make an osmanthus cake. ”

Osmanthus cake used to appear every day when Su Lanxi watched TV dramas, and she thought it was delicious!

As a result, I bought it back, Emma, it was sweet and sweet, and it didn't taste good at all.

After that, I ate osmanthus cake, which has a sweet and sour taste, but it tastes sweet and delicious. And it also has the aroma of osmanthus, there is a natural fragrance feeling, and the appearance is also very good-looking, white, soft, sweet but not greasy, fragrant and pleasant.

It's not the same as the kind of dry stuff that Su Lanxi bought on the Internet and choked people to death.

Qian Lotus also knows that there are such things as pastries, which are all things that nobles eat.

"Mother, this osmanthus cake is what the nobles eat, can I make it?"

Su Lanxi's hand preparing things paused slightly, and then said: "My mother has never eaten osmanthus cake, but my mother has heard that its taste is sweet and delicious, sweet but not greasy, and there is a fragrance of flowers when it smells."

is different from the osmanthus cakes sold in our town, and the osmanthus cakes in the town are choking to eat.

Take a bite of pastry, you can't drink a bowl of water to press it.

Mother knows the authentic method of osmanthus cake and will teach it to you now. ”

Hearing her mother say that the pastries in the town were unpalatable, Qian Lotus didn't make any movement in her heart, after all, she had never eaten the snacks in the town.

In the past, the family was poor and had no money to buy it, but after that, the food at home was so delicious that the stomach bulged every day, how could anyone go to eat snacks!

Qian Lotus said with a serious face: "Okay, mother, I will definitely study hard." ”

Osmanthus cake is more than 300 years old from modern times. Legend has it that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a hawker named Liu Jixiang in Xindu, he got inspiration from the Guihu Lake Pond where Yang Sheng'an was a child and rested, and the study with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, collected the fresh osmanthus flowers, squeezed out the bitter water, macerated them with sugar, pickled them into honey osmanthus flowers, added steamed rice flour and beat them into cakes for sale, and named them osmanthus cakes.

It's just that osmanthus cakes have appeared in this place now, and it may be that this place does not belong to any dynasty in history.

No matter how bad Su Lanxi's history is, he has never seen Yasukuni in the history books!

So it makes sense that there is something that does not correspond to history now.

After the osmanthus cake is out of the pot, as soon as the lid is opened, there is a fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Qian Lotus put down the lid of the pot, looked at the white osmanthus cake, and jumped happily and said, "Mother, look, this cake looks so good!"

I've never seen such a beautiful pastry. ”

Qian Lotus poked the pastry, and instantly retracted her hand: "Ah! The pastries just out of the pot are so hot!

But it's so soft.

Mother, have we succeeded! ”

Su Lanxi waved her hand and said, "Mother doesn't know, this is the first time my mother has made osmanthus cakes."

Let's take it out first, let it cool, and taste it to know if it has succeeded. ”

Qian Lotus rolled up her sleeves and was about to take the pastry plate, but was stopped by Su Lanxi.

"Be careful, it's not good to get burned.

You're really, how old you are, you don't know how hot things are just out of the pot!

Just poked it with that hand.

It's burned to the eye. ”

Qian Lotus listened to Su Lanxi's criticism of her, and she didn't feel sad at all.

On the contrary, my heart is still hot, and I wonder which mother-in-law can be as good as Su Lanxi.

Qian Hehua, like a little daughter-in-law, naughtily admitted her mistake to Su Lanxi and said, "I'm sorry, mother, I won't dare in the future." ”

Su Lanxi knew from her appearance that this guy would make a mistake in the future.

But he still forgave her and said, "It's good to know that you're wrong, and don't be reckless in the future." ”

Qian Lotus nodded as obediently as a little rabbit: "Mm-hmm." ”

Su Lanxi looked at the appearance of her second daughter-in-law, she became more and more active after the confinement, and she was not as dead as when she was pregnant with a child.

After the osmanthus cake cooled, Qian Lotus picked up a piece and took a bite.

His eyes widened instantly, and he said to Su Lanxi with a look of surprise: "Well~, mother, this pastry is too delicious."

The fragrance is sweet and sweet, soft and glutinous, and there is a fragrance of flowers.

Our osmanthus cake is a success! ”

Su Lanxi also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it.

It tastes similar to what she makes in the kitchen, and it looks pretty good.

Su Lanxi nodded while eating and said, "Well, the taste is almost there."

This osmanthus cake can be made so well the first time you make it, it seems that you have a talent for making pastries! ”

Qian Lotus saw that her mother praised her, lowered her head slightly, blushed and said, "Hehe, isn't this a good mother's teaching?"

If I didn't have my mother, I wouldn't have been able to make such a good pastry. ”

"Hey, what are you humble, you did a good job, but my mother just told you what to do?

You do it right the first time, and you have to know that some people can't do it well several times.

And that doesn't mean you're good. ”

Qian Lotus is very happy, and her mother-in-law is the only one other than her grandmother who says she is excellent.

Su Lanxi stuffed the last bit of pastry into her mouth and said to Qian Lotus: "Lotus, do you want to learn to make pastries, my mother can teach you all the pastries she can make."

How, do you want to think about it. ”

Qian Lotus listened to what her mother-in-law said, and her heart was excited: "Mother, are you telling the truth?"

You're willing to teach me the art of pastrymaking. ”

"Uh-huh, of course, I'm sure."

Qian Lotus burst into tears in an instant, and covered her chest with her two hands, trying to calm her excited heart.

You must know which family's in-laws have a craft and don't teach it to their sons and grandchildren, and her mother-in-law actually wants to teach her daughter-in-law to an outsider.

"Mother, you are really the best mother-in-law, from today onwards you will be my mother, my mother. Woo~"

Su Lanxi looked at Qian Lotus and cried as she spoke.

hurriedly went over and coaxed her to say: "Okay, okay, don't cry, be happy, think about how many delicious snacks you made yourself in the future, isn't it a great sense of accomplishment in your heart!" ”

Qian Hehua thought about it in her heart, well, my mother is right, don't cry, be happy Today is a good day.

Then Su Lanxi went to the house again and took a yellow dim sum book and gave it to Qian Lotus.

"Here, this is a book that my mother finally bought in the hands of a peddler.

It looks a bit old, and my mother's osmanthus cake is learned here.

Take a good look, there are a lot of pastries that my mother has never seen before.

You study hard, my mother is waiting to eat the pastries you made. ”

Qian Lotus took the book in Su Lanxi's hand very solemnly.

The book was so old that I didn't know what it had been through.
