Chapter 170: Flower Cake and Salted Duck Eggs
Zhu Yu pointed to the bottom of the pit and asked the pot and the crescent rat, "Is what you said down there?"
The crescent rat stepped on small broken steps, jumped into the hole, sniffed with its wet nose, and pointed in one of the directions with its little paws, chirping, it was down here!
Zhu Yu made a temporary hoe with the sharp gold technique, and with the quicksand technique, he kept digging under the pit, and the crescent rat disliked the slow speed of the shoveling officer.
Chirp, the rats come on their own!
The crescent rat shook its gray fur, doubled in size, its small claws flashed sharply, and the afterimage was gouged out, and the pit was dug deeper and deeper, and gradually the aura leaked out.
A quarter of an hour later, I saw a section of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein exposed under the pit, and there was a small pool in the center of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein, with a radius of no more than one meter, which was filled with a white viscous liquid, emitting a rich spiritual energy fluctuation.
The crescent rat blew triumphantly on its shiny little paws, chirp, and the thing was in the pool.
Zhu Yu stretched out his hand and fished out a crystal clear chalcedony in the pool, the chalcedony was like a crystal worm, constantly writhing, trying to escape.
Chalcedony is a spiritual material born by the coincidence of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, this chalcedony is not as thick as a little finger, because there is an earth fire spiritual vein as a cover, so it has not been discovered.
If it weren't for the crescent rat's recent progress in cultivation and its sense of smell becoming more and more acute, this chalcedony would probably have been missed.
Zhu Yu did not let go of the spiritual liquid in the pool, and put it in a white jade bottle, this spiritual liquid can increase the taste whether it is making soup or making wine, and it can just be used to pickle salted duck eggs.
This time the task of the sect was perfectly solved, and I wish Yu and his party to set off to return to the sect, this time they did not go to Ximofang City, because of the appearance of the Cangwu Secret Realm, Ximofang City has become a place of right and wrong.
After Qian Sanyuan and the others discussed, they first took a flying boat to another Fang City, and changed the teleportation array to return to the Great Yan Sect.
On the flying boat back, Zhu Yu in addition to cultivation is to pickle salted duck eggs and make flower cakes.
The eggs are not large, but they are delicious, and the blue spots on the skin are particularly beautiful.
Salted duck eggs mainly have water pickling method and mud pickling method, the water flooding method pickling time is short, the medicinal properties pass less, the mud pickling method pickles for a relatively long time, but the preservation time is also longer, it can be said that the two pickling methods have their own benefits.
This time, there are more Heqing duck eggs, there are thousands of them, Zhu Yu is ready to pickle some of each, and then put them in the Baiji Lingshan Hall to sell, to see which one is better to sell.
The most exquisite thing about marinating salted duck eggs is not which pickling method is better, but the amount of spiritual salt. Regarding this point, Peng Shandao people did not give a amount, but only used words such as "appropriate" and "suitable", so the specific amount still needs to be explored by Zhu Yu himself.
Zhu Yu took out a small notebook and made a simple plan, and prepared five dosages for each pickling method.
When making spiritual food, Zhu Yu prefers to use red crystal salt, but this time she did not have red crystal salt, but chose purer sea salt.
Although the sea salt of Guixu Sea does not have the color and luster of red crystal salt, it is pure, with fewer impurities, and will not affect the taste of salted duck eggs due to the unstable factors of other substances.
For the first time, Zhu Yu prepared 100 duck eggs, 50 pieces for the mud pickling method and 50 pieces for the water pickling method, and 10 pieces of salt for each type, which was less accurate than the data collected.
Zhu Yu opened a white jade bottle, which was full of spiritual liquid, which was divided into ten equal parts, and different doses of sea salt were added to mix evenly, and two of them Zhu Yu also specially added a drop of monkey wine.
After the turquoise monkey wine dripped in, the salt liquid carried a wine aroma, not only the fragrance of grass and trees, but also the fragrance of various spirit grasses.
The yellow mud used in the mud pickling method was specially dug by Zhu Yu from the cave, and these yellow mud were improved by the roots of the Soul Erosion Flower, which was rich in aura, and the soil quality was delicate and the air permeability was also good.
Add yellow mud to the salt solution and stir it into a dry paste, then wrap the duck eggs in this paste, take five small jars, put ten duck eggs in each jar, and finally cover with a layer of salt mud.
This is the mud pickling method, and the steps of the flooding method are similar, and the washed duck eggs can be soaked directly in the salt solution.
Zhu Yu put a jar of duck eggs in a cool, dry and ventilated place in the portable kitchen, the eggshell of the crane duck has good air permeability, and the marinating time is shorter than that of ordinary duck eggs, so you can cook some tomorrow morning and try it.
Make salted duck eggs, Zhu Yu took out a part of the petals of the Soul Eater Flower, washed the petals, added Ziling honey and Pengcao sugar powder, and made the Soul Eater Flower Sauce.
Lingmai is ground into flour and then added to Tianxiang lard and hot water respectively to make water oil skin and ghee skin.
Zhu Yu spread the ghee skin on the water and oil skin and wrapped it, then rolled it into a skin with a rolling pin, rolled it up, cut it into pieces of dough, and each piece of agent was rolled into a round skin, and the stuffing was made with the brewed soul-eating flower sauce.
In order to make the flower cake look better, Zhu Yu also specially asked Senior Brother Feng Buqun to make some molds with patterns, don't look at Senior Brother Feng looks like five big and three thick, but in fact, his heart is as thin as a hair, which is completely a cute man in contrast.
Zhu Yu put the dough wrapped in the filling into the mold, who knew that as soon as the filling entered the mold, the filling would be exposed, and no matter how many times he tried, he failed.
The crescent rat had its mouth wide open, its cheeks bulging, and its wet little eyes salivating over the blackened loaf on the table.
Zhu Yu put the dough cake into the mold again, who knew that not long after putting it in, the dough would turn black.
"Why did you fail again, what went wrong?" Zhu Yu frowned, opened the small notebook to check, this time each step was recorded and compared in detail, and still no problem was found.
The failed dough aura was mixed, and the medicinal properties were not stimulated at all, so Zhu Yu had to try again.
There is no problem with the tuning hand, and it is normal for the divine sense to sort out the aura, and the only problem may be in the stimulation of the medicinal properties of the spiritual materials.
This time, Zhu Yu was more careful, and his divine consciousness was divided into wisps, which were transformed into small hands of divine consciousness, tentatively stimulating the medicinal properties.
After trying again and again, Zhu Yu's divine consciousness became flexible and sensitive under such a use, and his divine consciousness was finely controlled, which laid a solid foundation for breaking through the Wupin Spiritual Dieter in the future.
Zhu Yu held his breath and shook off the dough in the mold, this time the dough was white, looking cute and delicate. The most important thing is that it does not turn black and show the filling.
"It's finally a success!" Zhu Yu jumped up happily, and his tight little face finally cleared after the rain.
With this successful experience, it was particularly easy to make after that, and a variety of spirit flower-shaped flower cakes were made, and a long table made of spirit wood was filled.
Zhu Yu touched the earthen kiln next to her, the skin was hot, the temperature was right, she smeared one side of the flower cake with egg wash and put it into the earthen kiln to bake.
The baked flower cake is golden on one side, crispy and fragrant, with a natural honey taste.
