Chapter 120: Rubbing Rice Balls
Xiao Nianzhi took the matter of antibiotics to heart, thinking that he had the opportunity to give the medicine to Guo Bixue.
As for how they will use the medicine once they have it? Will it be wasted?
There is a high probability that Xiao Nianzhi will not be able to help much, because she doesn't know how to treat medicine, so don't point fingers and let someone who understands do it.
Suppressing their thoughts and preparing the ingredients again, Xiao Nianzhi and Aunt Yu quickly went to the kitchen of the temple.
The kitchen was clean and there were very few traces of oil smoke.
I don't think there are many places where I usually use oil, although I know that the temple is clean and clean, but ......
Hardly touch the oil and water.
Xiao Nianzhi only thought about it, and felt that his soul did not want to be bound by this.
She reveres the Buddha, but she also loves good food.
Xiao Nianzhi put the ingredients he brought on the edge of the stove and asked Aunt Yu: "Let's make an ice rice ball, the ingredients are not complete, but they are enough." ”
After listening to this, Aunt Yu only keenly asked one question: "Sweet?" ”
Xiao Nianzhi nodded obediently, and then couldn't help but remind: "Eating too much sweet is not good for the skin, and it is easy to ......."
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Yu had already folded her hands and admitted her mistake with an excellent attitude: "I know, I know, next time, next time." ”
Seeing her like this, Xiao Nianzhi was angry and helpless, but she didn't force it.
Quitting sugar is a painful thing.
So, take your time.
If you want to eat ice dumplings, you have to start with the first step.
Rub the rice balls.
In modern times, Xiao Nianzhi is sometimes lazy, and he will also buy finished rice balls.
Chilled small rice balls, and there is no need to adjust the filling, so there is not much difference in taste, but the difference in taste.
The finished products can be sold, they all taste very good, of course, sometimes black technology may be added or something.
Xiao Nianzhi just opened his eyes and closed his eyes to this, and then comforted himself, eating once in a while, it was nothing.
Nowadays, there is no finished product, so you can only rub it manually.
In order to make the ice rice balls more colorful, Xiao Nianzhi prepared to give the glutinous rice flour some color.
It's just that there are no food coloring powders now, which requires Xiao Nianzhi to find a way by himself.
On the way here, she had already thought about this, and asked the temple for some spinach, and with the water and noodles that had boiled the spinach, she would get a green dough, and then knead out small green rice balls.
There is also purple potato flour in the delicious kitchen, and she also took it out early and wrapped it in oiled paper.
The three colors of green, white and purple are also rich.
The amount of pigment powder added is very small, mainly playing a role in color matching, and the main ingredient is glutinous rice flour.
Looking at Xiao Nianzhi's skillful boiling of water and noodles, Aunt Yu watched with envy for a while.
After the noodles are reconciled, you can start to knead the long strips, cut the agent, and knead the balls!
When I was rubbing pearls before this job, Aunt Yu did it.
Therefore, when she gets started again, she also has a bit of a skilled posture.
And it's about food, Aunt Yu feels that she should be talented in this area!
So, rub the rice balls!
Aunt Yu rubbed four times at a time, and felt that she was super capable!
As a result, he turned his head and found that Xiao Nianzhi rubbed six.
If it weren't for the small hands, she could even rub more at the same time.
When the little cut-up agent came into her hand, it was like an obedient little toy, and it became whatever shape she wanted it to become.
Aunt Yu almost shed tears of envy, and at the same time rubbed the four rounds on her hands with tears.
No, she can't throw in the towel.
She can rub six too!
It's just that it's a process that requires constant practice and familiarization.
Therefore, Aunt Yu can't rub six for the time being.
Glutinous rice is not easy to digest, although it is still afternoon, but eating too much is also very heavy for the stomach and intestines.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi is not ready to do more.
In addition to their master and apprentice, they prepared two bowls for the Guo family's sisters and brothers.
If you want to make the small rice balls soft and glutinous and smooth, there are two key points, one is that the water with the noodles should be hot, and the other is that after cooking, the water that has passed the rice balls should be cold, and the ice water is the best!
Now that the conditions are limited, they don't bring much saltpeter, and Xiao Nianzhi is too lazy to toss it twice, and he has to make smoothies for a while, so he can use cold water to make it.
However, if the effect can be achieved, Xiao Nianzhi will not deliberately pick these details.
Because it is not big, the boiled rice balls are soft and cute, giving people a chubby, cute feeling next door.
Aunt Yu watched from the side and swallowed her saliva quietly.
Actually, there isn't much flavor in boiling rice balls, but it's ......
If you rub it out yourself, it will feel different.
Moreover, Xiao Nianweaving did it, Aunt Yu had already decided that the final product of this thing must be delicious!
Once the dumplings are cooked, the dish is halfway there.
When the glutinous rice balls passed through the cold water, Xiao Nianzhi boiled the brown sugar water of the base juice.
The ratio of water to brown sugar is one to one, and how well it is boiled depends on the feel.
This job can be handed over to Aunt Yu, and Xiao Nianzhi went to tinker with the ice.
Nowadays, the method of making ice has become popular among the aristocracy.
The main reason is that the summer is too hot, and the demand for ice is suddenly strong.
Although saltpeter is used to make saltpeter ice, it can be reused.
But sometimes, the masters can't wait, and the amount purchased by each government will be slightly increased.
Therefore, the price of saltpeter in the capital has been high recently.
What Xiao Nianzhi had in his hand was brought out of the palace by Aunt Yu.
Because she only needed a little smoothie, she didn't use a particularly large amount.
Because the brown sugar has to be cooled after boiling, so that the iced rice balls can be eaten cool.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi prepared saltpeter and tools and the like, and did not rush to move.
The secret red beans were made before, and they could be left for a little time, so Xiao Nian brought a small bottle over, and now there is no need to make it freshly.
Crushed mountain slag and raisins were also brought back by Aunt Yu.
Or it was a reward from the palace, or she bought it on the way.
Of course, there is one of the most important seasoning artifacts - osmanthus nectar.
Aunt Yu said that this was given by Concubine Sun.
When Aunt Yu said before, Xiao Nianzhi was listening quietly on the side.
Now I can ask a few more words: "By the way, how is the concubine's health?" But good? ”
The original plot, Xiao Nianzhi saw it very much, and now I don't know if there is a concubine written in it.
However, the other party's illness can attract so many people's attention, most of them are from the Queen Mother's team.
Because it is the team of the final winner, it will be cared for by His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
Aunt Yu had just brought the brown sugar pot to the window, ready to take advantage of the wind outside, which was not considered cool, to cool it.
Listening to Xiao Nianzhi's question, she nodded: "It's already a big deal, it's also an old problem, the doctor advised, the Queen Mother and His Majesty also said, but the concubine didn't listen, every time she got sick, she could be obedient for a few days, and then it was the same again." ”
