Mrs. Zhang asked: "Have you tried this flavor? I remember that Butler Zhang came to me just now and asked for brown sugar and white sugar. I was just thinking about where the sugar would be used, but I didn't expect it to be used in steamed buns.
.”
"But the sugar buns are not obtrusive at all. They are not even worse than the red bean-flavored buns I had a few days ago." After Zhang Mu finished speaking, he recalled the red bean-flavored buns he had eaten a few days ago and felt that this was true.
No, "No, I think red bean-flavored steamed buns are also delicious. They both have their own merits, but why haven't we eaten red bean-flavored steamed buns yet?"
"It probably wasn't done well. Didn't we hear it when Xin'er explained it that day? The red beans have to be soaked for so long, so it must be very troublesome to make. Let's wait." Mrs. Zhang looked at the remaining steamed buns on the table.
After thinking for a long time, he got up and went to the kitchen.
The busy time in the kitchen has passed, and the red beans have turned into sand during this period. At this time, they are basically waiting for the lotus root starch and tapioca starch to settle, so when Mrs. Zhang took a
When everyone came over, they each looked at the fruits of their labor, but did not make any move, so she looked confused. Mrs. Zhang asked: "Is this...have you finished teaching?"
Hearing the sound, everyone immediately stood up alertly and panicked. After seeing that the person coming was Mrs. Zhang, they immediately explained: "No, we are waiting here."
Seeing too many people, it was hard to explain clearly with all the chatter. Wen Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "That's right, we have taught almost all other things, but the lotus root starch and cassava starch need time to settle, so
Everyone is watching these things and waiting until they are almost settled before starting."
Upon hearing what was going on, Mrs. Zhang did not embarrass them. She then asked: "Was the brightly colored buns just sent to us also Xin'er's idea?"
Wen Xin smiled and said: "Yes, Madam. Since I promised Madam to teach you all the recipes, I naturally have to keep my word."
"You are smart. Then tell me how you got that color. If it is inedible, isn't it harmful?"
"Of course not. These are just like the full moon red eggs. They are made with vegetable juice and added to the dough, so they are edible." After Wen Wen finished speaking, he added: "Don't worry, Madam, it can't be eaten.
I don't dare to give the things to Madam. If anything happens, how can our family be able to shoulder this responsibility?"
Seeing that Wen Xin knew what was going on, Mrs. Zhang didn't embarrass her anymore. Of course, she had no intention of embarrassing her in the first place.
Mrs. Zhang said: "Where is the red bean paste? How long will it take for this to be cured? Mu'er is just talking about this."
Zhang Mu did not come with Mrs. Zhang. She had already returned to her room before Mrs. Zhang left.
Wen Yu replied: "These red beans need to be cooked for a while."
After thinking for a while, Wen Wen asked, "Does Miss Zhang like to eat red bean paste? Then Xin'er will make a bowl of red bean paste for Miss Zhang later."
Mrs. Zhang asked with surprise on her face: "Oh, can this red bean paste be used for other foods?"
"Of course. When the red bean paste is ready, I will send a bowl to Madam later."
In fact, eating red bean paste is quite simple. Red bean paste dumplings and red bean paste sugar porridge are two very classic foods in later generations, and they are not cheap. However, these two foods are also simple to make, and they are not expensive.
There is no need to count it as an extra prescription.
Seeing the Wen family being so polite, Mrs. Zhang stopped saying anything, nodded and left with the maids in the house.
After leaving, Wen Wen began to get busy. She took a look at the red bean paste first and saw that the soup was almost gone. Then she ordered: "Prepare some glutinous rice flour and porridge. The porridge should be boiled with sugar. It should be sweet and thick.
You don’t need to cook too much, just one bowl is enough.”
After saying that, someone started to work. After the glutinous rice flour and sweet porridge were prepared, the sediment of lotus root starch and tapioca starch had not completely settled, but this is not particularly difficult to understand. You must know these things
It originally took one night to completely settle.
The glutinous rice flour was kneaded into a big ball, and he warmly explained to the people in the kitchen who were not particularly busy: "Knead these pieces of glutinous rice into small balls, as big as this."
Wen Xin grabbed a piece of glutinous rice and kneaded it for them to see. They worked together and kneaded the small glutinous rice balls in a short time.
Pour the pinched glutinous rice balls into the pot with hot water. Here’s what I want to say. If the glutinous rice balls have been frozen, put them directly into the pot with cold water. After the water is hot, the dumplings will be considered cooked if they float in the pot. However, it is best to use unfrozen glutinous rice balls.
Pour hot water into the pot, but the fire does not need to be very high. Increase the heat after all the glutinous rice balls have been put into the pot. Also wait until the glutinous rice balls float, and it will be cooked. It is easy to judge.
Wen Wen first asked the person who cooked the red bean paste to fill out half a bowl of red bean paste, then put some of the cooked soup into it, and finally added a small spoonful of fermented glutinous rice. After stirring, the small fermented red bean soup was completed.
The taste must be very ordinary for Wen Wen. After all, it is the first time to make it, but for ancient people, the taste is very fresh, especially in such a small county where there is nothing delicious, so
When a new food appears, doesn’t it attract everyone’s attention immediately?
Naturally, everyone in the kitchen had to taste this new food first. Because the red bean paste was not cooked much, two or three men and women shared one bowl. After finishing the red bean paste soup, they moved on to the red bean soup.
Sweet rice porridge, this one does not need to be added with mash and it will taste very good.
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads after eating, and some people even sighed: "If you put this kind of food in the store, there will definitely be many people coming to taste it."
"That's right. It tastes so good. Tell me where you have all these ideas in your little girl's head."
Wen Xin smiled shyly, "That's it, it's just in my mind. What matters is that everyone likes it."
"I like it, of course I do."
After they tried it and found it delicious, they naturally gave it to Mrs. Zhang and her daughter to taste it. However, after they tasted the red bean paste dessert separately, they decided to get together again. Zhang Muren had not yet tasted it.
Walking into Mrs. Zhang's room, the voice came first, "Mother, mother."
Mrs. Zhang heard the sound and shook her head, "This child is not calm at all at such an old age."
The slightly older servant next to Mrs. Zhang said: "Miss is already very calm on weekdays. Let me tell you, this kind of temper is suitable for the young lady's age. Madam just has too high requirements for the young lady."
"With deep love comes great responsibility." As soon as Mrs. Zhang finished sighing, Miss Zhang entered the door and shouted hurriedly: "Mom, mom, have you just eaten these? Mom, this is so delicious.
