Chapter 159: Rubbing the Ball
In order to increase the gluten of the dough, Xiao Nianzhi added a little salt to the flour.
In order to increase the transparency of the flour, a little alkaline water was put in it.
I didn't bring all the lye water I made before, and I only took some of it in small bottles.
This stuff is used in small quantities, so you don't need to carry a lot.
After the noodles were reconciled, during the time of waking up, Xiao Nianzhi was afraid that the people outside would be in a hurry, and after a long time, the food would be cold, so he asked Yan Changxia to go out and tell them to let them eat first.
Yan Changxia responded obediently, and when he came back, he still had a bowl in his hand, which contained four cute corn balls.
Yan Xingxuan was afraid that Xiao Nianzhi would not be able to eat them, so he specially asked her to pretend.
In this regard, Yan Changxia didn't react in a trance until he returned to the kitchen: "Sister, Uncle Xiao Wang is really good, he is actually willing to give up the food, I look like I'm dreaming!" ”
Xiao Nianzhi was amused by her appearance, and nodded at her with his hand: "Brother still loves you." ”
After Yan Changxia listened, he tilted his head and thought about it, but he didn't understand, and finally he could only nod in agreement: "It's really not good, hurry up, sister, let's eat first, it's not very warm on a rainy day, we have to eat first." ”
While the two of them were working, they showed off the corn dumplings.
The vegetable filling is very good, even if there is no meat and no eggs, but it tastes fresh and fresh, giving people a very refreshing and comfortable feeling.
The corn flour wrapped on the outside is a very thin layer, and when you bite into it, you only have a slight feeling.
The corn flour brought by Yan Xingxuan is naturally extremely finely ground, so it tastes good.
The main thing is that the filling inside is very fragrant, and with the outer layer of corn flour, it is delicious.
After Yan Changxia finished eating, his eyes widened: "Can you still eat corn flour like this?" ”
The corn yield is good, but the taste of this thing is not very good.
Therefore, it is classified as coarse grains with beans, and many times, it is the staple food of the poor people at the bottom.
The families of the powerful still use white flour and white rice as their main food.
Therefore, Yan Changxia eats it once in a while, and he thinks it is very amazing.
Regarding her doubts, Xiao Nianzhi smiled: "This is related to the practice, and it is also related to the environment." ”
After Yan Changxia listened, he thought about it, but he didn't understand, but he still nodded: "Yes." ”
She's not sure if it's right or not, but it's over when it's delicious!
Xiao Nianzhi finished eating quickly, and then went to get busy.
The soaked peony fruit was fished out and the shells were peeled off one by one.
After Yan Changxia finished eating, she was still savoring, watching her get busy, and she also wanted to help.
But she had never done this kind of work, and she had been picking it for a long time, and it was a mess, and the flesh and core were all messed up.
Looking at his masterpiece, Yan Changxia was a little embarrassed, turned around and went to the fire honestly.
Whining!
This world is really unfriendly to scumbags, it's just a shell, she can't learn it!
Xiao Nianzhi moved quickly, and after a while, he pulled out the peony pulp.
The dried peony flesh is not as soft and white as when it is fresh.
It has a slight brown color, and after being blistered, it has a golden and translucent feeling.
At this time, the flesh of the peony, which has absorbed enough water, becomes soft and tender again, although it is not as good as when it was fresh, but it is also very bright.
Xiao Nianzhi put them away, then put them in a mortar and pounded them into juice.
The little novice watched from the side, and couldn't help but want to help.
In his opinion, how much strength can this female benefactor have with her small arms and legs?
But looking at Xiao Nian's movements when he was pounding the juice, whether it was strength or speed, it seemed to maintain a constant speed.
The little novice was a little dumbfounded.
So, really have a lot of strength, can't use it up?
Who almost shed tears of envy?
The little novice turned his head silently, a little autistic.
Xiao Nian's weaving movements were very steady, and he smashed the soft peony flesh directly into juice one after another.
The mortar is not like a juicer in modern times, it is squeezed very clean, with only a little pulp remaining.
However, this does not affect the subsequent operations.
Feeling that it was almost done, Xiao Nianzhi looked at Lai Shun who was listening to orders at the door.
Lai Shun immediately understood, and handed over the small basket he was carrying.
This is the peach blossom that Xiao Nianzhi asked him to help pick up.
There are late peaches in the back mountain, and the flowers have only recently bloomed.
This is what Yan Changxia said.
It rained today, and many of the flowers fell to the ground wet.
Xiao Nianweaving is in the temple, it's not good to pick fresh, it's always okay to pick the ground, right?
It's just that it's a little dirty with mud, so you have to wash it carefully.
Xiao Nianweaving repeatedly cleaned back and forth, and also needed to control the strength, don't use too much force and rub the flowers.
She was extremely patient and cleaned it out quickly.
Then pick off the washed peach blossoms one by one.
These peach blossoms may be of different varieties, pink and white mixed with a very bright red.
It's like someone deliberately left a heavy stroke on a very shallow drawing paper.
The gorgeous red, which seems to have been casually drawn a line, looks crooked, but is dotted on the pink and white peach petals, but adds a lot of bright color to the original plain peach blossoms.
The colorfulness of spring and the magnificence of summer seem to be painted in this peach blossom.
Xiao Nianzhi quite likes this color.
Originally, the dessert she wanted to make needed was roses.
But she couldn't find any ready-made ones temporarily, but these peach blossoms gave her a lot of surprises.
Peach petals don't need to be particularly numerous, it's originally an embellishment.
Xiao Nianzhi prepared some tapioca flour, then put in the washed peach petals and poured in the mashed peony juice.
There is pulp in it, but it does not affect it, but it adds a little texture to it.
As long as most of it is mashed to get juice, you're good to go!
The ratio of peony juice and tapioca flour, this can be quantified, and it can also look at the feel.
Because it needs to be rolled into cute balls later, how to match depends on how to operate more conveniently.
In order to make the taste better, Xiao Nianzhi also added some sugar to it.
After the peony fruit is dried, the sugar is enough, but because it has been soaked in water before, the sugar is lost some.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi made up for it again.
After all, Aunt Yu is not feeling well, and she still needs to be considerate and careful to take care of her patients.
Watching Xiao Nianweaving the small ball, Yan Changxia was ready to move again.
This thing is actually quite easy to rub, Aunt Yu rubbed the pearls for the first time, and they were all very good.
Therefore, it is rare for Yan Changxia not to be frustrated, and according to Xiao Nianzhi's guidance, he can also make the little balls very cute and round!
Most of the small dumplings are snow-white, with gorgeous peach blossoms wrapped in the middle, which looks very cute and beautiful.
Looking at the finished product he rubbed out, Yan Changxia stomped uncontrollably: "Wow, wow, wow, sister, I'm so good!" ”
She was a little excited, her voice was not very controllable, and then it was heard.
