Chapter 275: Black Sesame Mooncake
Regarding the things that may be summoned by His Majesty in the future, Xiao Nianzhi nodded obediently.
Seeing that the little girl was not afraid of this matter, Yu Saijiu was a little relieved.
Everyone talked about it, and it was already dark at night, Xiao Siye suggested that they go back to their respective rooms to rest first, and if there is anything, it is okay to talk about it tomorrow.
Xiao Nianzhi took the opportunity to say that he was going to make moon cakes.
Xiao Siye listened and twisted his eyebrows: "Let's do it tomorrow, it's too late, rest early." ”
In this regard, Xiao Nianzhi explained softly: "Mooncakes need to be oiled overnight to be more delicious." ”
If you make it tomorrow, you can eat it the day after tomorrow.
When Xiao Siye heard this, he nodded with a smile: "Then you call the chef and them, don't be busy by yourself, what do you need, and let Lao Zheng go to buy ......"
Looking at the sky outside, it is obviously not realistic to want to buy at this time.
Xiao Siye also thought of this possibility, and quickly made up for it: "Let Lao Zheng think of a way to see which one has it nearby, and you can borrow it first." ”
Xiao Nianzhi should be again and again.
When discussing serious matters, everyone will not feel tired, but once they are free, Xiao Siye and Yu Saijiu both feel it, and their physical strength is a little weak.
Therefore, the two of them quickly went back to rest, and Xiao Zhou said that he was not at ease at all, so he followed Xiao Nianzhi to the kitchen.
Although they are brother and sister, in order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Zhou called the cook Aunt Niu again, and the three of them were together.
As long as the ingredients are complete, it is not difficult to make mooncakes.
In modern times, many materials are readily available, and there is no need to adjust them on demand, and it is easier to operate.
Nowadays, some materials are cumbersome to operate, but they are not without substitutes.
Honey can also be used as an alternative to invert sugar syrup, and there may be a difference in taste, but not much.
Because honey is also another sweet taste.
Xiao Nianzhi is going to make two kinds, one is a traditional black sesame mooncake and the other is a snowy skin mooncake.
The two types of dough are completely different, so it will take more time.
Xiao Nianzhi first made black sesame mooncakes, which required a small grinding plate, a baking room, or a baking cellar.
Fortunately, Xiao Siye's Zhuangzi has these infrastructures.
Xiao Nianzhi also brought the alkaline water extracted before, and now it can be used.
The black sesame filling is not all black sesame seeds, and in order to enhance the taste, a certain amount of red beans needs to be added.
Red beans are hard to cook, so she boiled them first.
Sugar also needs to be added, but it is too late to put it when it is ground into a slurry.
After the red beans were cooked, Xiao Nianzhi went to adjust the dough of the snowy mooncakes.
The skin of the snowy moon cake is not baked, but steamed, glutinous rice flour is the main one, supplemented by starch, so that the effect will be better.
Crystal clear, soft and glutinous.
Therefore, after Xiao Nianzhi adjusted this, he put it directly on the pot and steamed it.
Then it's time to adjust the filling of the snowy moon cake, which requires the use of milk, which tastes milky and tastes good.
Fortunately, Uncle Zheng got it.
Xiao Nianzhi and a few people were busy in the kitchen for most of the day, snowy moon cakes, she also made patterns, extracted food coloring from amaranth, kneaded a very summery pink, and grinded Enshi Yulu into powder, after sifting, she adjusted a matcha-colored.
Two colors, Xiao Nianzhi felt that it was enough, so he stopped.
The tools for making moon cakes were made by Steward Qiu before, and this time she went down the mountain, and she took them directly with her.
I think about it when I want to make moon cakes in Xiao Mansion, I can use it just right.
By the time Xiao Nianzhi began to cut the medicine and prepare to press the snow skin mooncakes, the traditional black sesame mooncakes had already been sent to the baking cellar.
It's just that the baking cellar here in Zhuangzi is smaller, and there can't be too much roasting in one pot.
However, Xiao Nianzhi was not in a hurry, and while paying attention to guiding Aunt Niu to control the heat, he was busy with the things in hand.
In order to make the final color of traditional mooncakes look good, they need to be brushed with a thin layer of egg wash before entering the baking cellar.
The amount of this egg liquid must be controlled, otherwise the color of the baked will not look good, which will affect the quality of the moon cakes.
Moreover, before brushing the egg wash, you also need to spray a layer of water to prevent the temperature from being too high during the baking process, causing the crust to crack.
When the first original snowy skin mooncake was pressed out, the traditional black sesame mooncake over there also wafted out the fragrance.
In the black sesame filling, a sufficient amount of sugar is put in, and after being roasted at high temperature, the wheat fragrance floats out first, which seems to be quiet, the taste is light, but in fact it is soft and long, constantly hooking the string of the food, moving from time to time, and ringing.
The filling, sesame seeds, red beans and the aroma of sugar, are slowly wafting out later.
Different from the gentle and long wheat fragrance, these incense sticks are intertwined, domineering and almost unreasonable, and they float in all directions strongly, impacting the nerves of every sleeping person.
After Xiao Siye went back, because he didn't worry about Xiao Nianweaving, he didn't sleep well.
Smelling the fragrance at this time, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: Hey, who would have thought that he would be hungry and unable to sleep at a time when he was an old man!
I didn't sleep well, but I can't sleep at this time.
However, he was a little embarrassed.
Moreover, after eating at night, it is not easy to digest, and in the end, it is still difficult to feel yourself.
It's just that I can't sleep this tossing and turning!
Yu Xijiu slept well, but the fragrance was too domineering, especially the sweet fragrance in the air, which seemed to be the hand of the qin, on his soul, tossing back and forth.
Yu Saijiu was also embarrassed, and ran to the kitchen in the middle of the night to eat.
In the end, I could only close my heart and eyes, and began to memorize the knowledge in the books and think about the things of the academy.
As a result, thinking about it is ......
The sugar is in moderation, the taste is sweet, and the food is ......
Reflecting what he was carrying, Yu Xijiu wiped his face with a wry smile, and secretly laughed that he had lived a handful of years, why did he live more and more ashamed?
People in the distance are being teased by the fragrance, and the aunt Niu in the near distance has already raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Without him, it was so fragrant that she couldn't control her saliva.
A steady stream of incense wafted out of the cellar and spewed straight at her, the nearest fire-burner.
Just asked, who can withstand this?
Aunt Niu almost covered her mouth and cried.
Xiao Zhou himself is not much better, Aunt Niu lit the fire, he started on the side, he was not only tempted by the incense in the baking cellar, but also by the snowy skin mooncakes in front of him.
The fragrance of the snowy skin mooncake is the kind of sweet taste intertwined with the light wheat fragrance and milk fragrance, which smells shallow and faint, but it is full of stamina and continues to stretch, making people have nowhere to escape.
There is a strong fragrance approaching in the distance, and a light fragrance is tempting in front of you.
Xiao Zhou felt that his soul had flown to an unknown place.
Approaching a few Zhuangzi, there is no way to avoid the attack of this sweet fragrance.
Xiao Nianzhi didn't notice this, and only lowered his head and worked seriously.
There are still two people with her, she can't waste time, and she does the work as quickly as possible.
At this moment, she is happily pressing the snow skin mooncakes.
This production process is healing and decompressing, and the more you dry, the more addictive it becomes!
The second watch is at 19 o'clock
