However, the jelly itself is tasteless. If you want it to be delicious, you must add some other things to it to enhance the flavor. Taking advantage of being on the mountain, Wen Xin quickly asked: "Is there anything sour and sweet on our mountain?"
It’s an edible fruit, or other edible fruit. This should be added to the fruit to enhance the flavor.”
September and October are not only the ripening season for lotus roots, but also the ripening season for hawthorn and pears. The sour and sweet taste of these two fruits just goes along with Wen Wen's request.
The brothers were very familiar with the mountains. After a while, they found the place where hawthorns and pears were placed with warmth. They chose a place where they could put them. When they were about to leave, they also discovered a wild grapevine. Along the way, they found a place with hawthorns and pears.
I selected a few bunches of grapes and went back.
For the brothers, the joy of today's harvest is comparable to the bumper harvest some time ago. Everyone's hands are almost full. Even the villagers who met them on the way back said a lot.
of sour words.
But Wen Xin didn't care. She had asked before picking these things. These things were free, wild, and ownerless, so why could others pick them but she couldn't? No matter what others said, it was anyway.
She picked everything she could and took it home.
With yesterday's experience, everyone did what they should do as soon as they got home, without wasting any time, and Wenxin also started to prepare the jelly fruit.
She first returned to her room, then realized she had entered the space. She took out her mobile phone and searched for how to make jelly, and then walked out of the room, preparing the jelly she would eat later.
Regardless of what she says is good, no matter how well she talks, it is just knowledge from books. When did her pretty eldest daughter really wash the jelly seeds? So even if she knows how to make it, she doesn't really know how to do it.
Before getting up, she had to check it first. After all, it was not without that condition. After confirming that it was the same as the knowledge in her mind, she really started to do it.
The appearance of the jelly fruit is somewhat similar to that of the small fragrant pear. The size and color are almost the same, but when it is split into two halves, the middle is full of seeds.
Splitting the jelly fruit requires a knife, and Wen Yu didn't trust Wen Wen to do it by himself, so this job fell into Wen Yu's hands. Wen Wen had no choice but to wrap it up with a piece of white cloth, which was used to filter the lotus root starch.
Wen Yu took out the jelly seeds.
There were a lot of jelly fruits picked. Wen Wen saw that the seeds were almost there and asked Wen Yu to stop.
She took a basin, filled it with water, put the white flour filled with jelly seeds into the water and kneaded it repeatedly.
But a new problem came again. She was young and had little strength in her hands. She had to knead the jelly seeds hard and quickly. Her little hands couldn't knead them at all, so this task could only be handed over to Wen Yu.
.
Of course, it was nice to be lazy and warm, but it was quite embarrassing to see everyone else busy and she was the only one idle.
The key is what she wants to instruct others to do, "Shan'er, go and wash the fruits just now. Wash both pears and hawthorns."
Just chop the hawthorn, but she has to take half of the pears and boil them into pear paste and then turn the pear paste into water to replace the brown sugar. Otherwise, the jelly will be tasteless even if hawthorn and pear cubes are added.
Thinking of Li Gao, this was something she could do alone.
After Wen Yu kneaded the jelly for a while, the clear water turned slightly yellow. Wen Wen saw that the color was similar to the brown sugar ice powder she had eaten in later generations and asked Wen Yu to stop, "Okay, second brother,
This should be almost ready, just put this wooden basin next to it and don’t move it, and you’ll be able to eat it in a while.”
After Wen Yu finished his work here, he went to wash the lotus root starch. In short, no one in the family was free.
But when it comes to making pear paste, pear paste doesn’t just need pears. It also needs to add rock sugar and maltose. Only by adding these can a delicious and sweet pear paste be made, so pear paste can only be
Not only did she make it, but she also had to add these two ingredients behind her family's back.
By the time all of this was done, several hours had passed, and this busy work lasted a whole day. Almost everyone in the Wen family was so tired that they lay on their chairs and were unwilling to move.
Seeing everyone's tired looks, Wenxin went to the kitchen to look for the freshly kneaded jelly. In order to prevent it from getting dusty, Wenxin thoughtfully covered her with a thin wooden board. She opened the wooden board first.
, and then stretched out his clean hands and pressed it into the middle of the jelly. It felt almost like jelly, and I felt warm and happy. It seemed that the jelly was made directly in one go.
Wen Wen excitedly opened the small wooden board and pressed all the jelly in the tub. The jelly in the entire tub was already solid. Only then did she shout to the people outside: "Brother,
Second brother, third brother, Shan'er, the jelly is ready."
Liang Noodles? The exhausted people only then remembered the jelly Wen Xin was busy with when they first came back. Several people hurried to the kitchen and looked at the jelly Wen Xin mentioned in the wooden basin, but they didn't find anything different about it at all.
Wen Jin said doubtfully: "Isn't this exactly the same as when I first started doing it? Is there any difference?"
Wen Xin pressed her little hand in the middle. It looked like the texture was the same as water, but she couldn't press it down with her hand. This was amazing. Wen Xin said: "Xin'er, this is it."
"This is done. I put the pear paste that I just boiled in a jar, but I left a little bit in the pot and dissolved it with water first. We will eat it with this later. Everyone can eat this big pot.
I’ll serve a big bowl.”
Not only that, it's already this time. After eating this, we don't even need to eat dinner, and we can save food for tonight. The thought of this makes everyone even more excited.
Wen Wen took the small spoon from home. The small spoon was made of wood. It was relatively thick and rounded around. It was not easy to cut the jelly. After pulling it twice, Wen Wen used the small wood slices that had been hung with lotus root starch before.
All the jelly in the basin was broken into small pieces.
The pear paste in the pot has melted with water. Wen Wen took the bowl and filled it up for everyone. Almost everyone had a big bowl full. The jelly was filled here, and another one was added there.
Spoon the pear paste into water, then add the chopped hawthorn, small pear chunks, and wild grapes that you prepared in advance, and this simple bowl of jelly is ready.
Although this jelly is simple, it is 50-60% similar to the brown sugar ice powder of later generations. In fact, this is enough. After all, the conditions do not allow it. If you can have this, what else is there to choose?
