Chapter 216: Egg yolk cake (first update)
Chapter 216 Egg Yolk Crisp (1st update)
Jiang Zhiluo covered the pot and said, "Mom, it needs to be simmered for a while until the chestnuts are ripe, and the caramel gas can be soaked into the chestnuts, which will give them a strong aroma."
Mrs. Cui said: "I didn't expect Lizi to do this."
Following Jiang Zhiluo, her cooking skills have also improved a lot.
Mrs. Cui used to never touch Yang Chun Shui, let alone cook.
However, if you learn cooking skills from Jiang Zhiluo, even if you only learn a little bit, the food you make will be delicious.
Cui Hejin was in the yard, using the moonlight and the brightness of the candles in the house, cracking walnuts in the yard.
Just because Jiang Zhiluo said she would use it to make porridge the next morning.
Even when he was cracking walnuts, Cui Hejin exuded a dignified and elegant temperament in every move he made.
That is the aura of nobility that permeates from the very core.
After the chestnuts had been simmering in the pot for a while, Jiang Zhiluo counted the time and felt that it was almost done, so she opened the lid of the pot.
A light and sweet fragrance spreads out instantly.
Mrs. Cui said: "Although I am full after dinner, I still find the aroma attractive."
She was tempted to eat more.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "You can eat it after taking it out, but it is a bit hot, so let it sit for a while before eating."
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo took out all the chestnuts with a slotted spoon and put them in a big basin.
One big basin couldn't fit in, so another big basin was installed.
Mrs. Cui said: "These chestnuts have opened their mouths."
Jiang Zhiluo explained patiently: "Cut a slit at the beginning, and it will expand when frying. This will make it easier to peel and not hurt your nails."
It is very difficult to peel the skin without making a cut.
Mrs. Cui nodded and said: "Such a simple method is not easy for everyone to think of."
Jiang Zhiluo didn’t say anything. She didn’t think of this. In modern times, sugar-roasted chestnuts have holes in them, so it’s easy to peel them.
The weather is getting warmer, it’s almost May, and it’s not cold at night either.
The whole family sat together and talked.
When the chestnuts were no longer so hot, Jiang Zhiluo took them and peeled out two. She handed one to Mrs. Cui and the other to Cui Hejin and said, "Taste how it tastes."
Cui Hejin had already washed his hands and put it in his mouth to eat.
Mrs. Cui said happily: "It's delicious, it's really delicious."
“With a touch of sweetness and a caramel aroma, this taste is just right.”
Mrs. Cui had to sigh that Jiang Zhiluo had really good control over the taste when making things.
When making something, it should be salty when it should be salty and sweet when it should be sweet.
No matter what you do, it tastes delicious.
“If it’s delicious, mother, eat more.”
Speaking, Jiang Zhiluo continued to peel the skin, without eating it, and handed it to Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui quickly waved her hand and said: "Mom likes the feeling of peeling and eating at the same time. It feels delicious. You can eat it, just eat it."
Mrs. Cui said this deliberately so that Zhiluo could peel it for her and not even bother to eat it.
Eat together as a family.
But Cui Hejin didn't eat it himself. Instead, he peeled a small bowl of chestnuts silently and handed them to Jiang Zhiluo.
Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were as gentle as water.
People will be involuntarily addicted to it just by looking at it.
Jiang Zhiluo’s heart suddenly beat a few times, “You eat too.”
“It’s okay, you can just eat.”
Jiang Zhiluo pouted and said, "You don't think my cooking is not delicious, do you?"
Cui Hejin looked gentle and good-tempered from beginning to end, and his mood was very stable, "No, it's delicious."
“Then you eat too, and we eat together.”
"good."
The family just ate chestnuts and talked together.
Over the next period of time, Jiang Zhiluo continued to sell bread and chili meat sauce.
But I don’t make braised food anymore.
Because Lin Zhuzhu didn’t show up to set up the stall anymore, and Jiang Zhiluo couldn’t be busy, so she only made bread and chili meat sauce.
Just from these two businesses, you can earn at least two taels of silver every day.
However, Han Bingce did not appear again for a long time after giving away two bottles after the injury.
His father always comes to deliver bottles.
She asked Han Bingce how he was doing and said he was out for something so he didn't come back.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't ask any more questions, but after she knew Han Bingce's possible identity, she didn't feel strange when she saw his father's appearance and saw that he didn't look like his father.
She always felt that Han Bingce might have gone out to do something.
But she couldn't think of it for a moment.
I will never go to war.
In addition to setting up a stall and doing business on weekdays, Jiang Zhiluo also went to Jian's house several times, performed surgery on Jian Yunci, and bandaged his hand. As long as he took good care of it for a few months, Jian Yunci's hand would get better.
Mrs. Cui also took the time to tell Li Zheng that if there was a war, her family would move to the mountains to hide. If the villagers had this idea, they would hide together.
When Li Zheng told the people in the village, the villagers responded positively and said that they would follow Li Zheng's arrangements and hide in the mountains together.
For this reason, everyone has started to prepare on weekdays.
Most people are pickling some pickles because pickles are easy to store.
The people in the village also packed their things in advance and packed some food in cloth bags.
When you plan to move, you can carry your things into the mountains at any time.
Time passed quietly like this, and in mid-May, the weather became even warmer.
The salted duck eggs that Jiang Zhiluo pickled a month ago have also been pickled.
She took out the salted duck eggs and used them to make some egg yolk cakes.
Mrs. Cui was full of praise when she ate the egg yolk cake.
“Zhiluo, Mom has never eaten such delicious snacks.”
Mrs. Cui couldn’t even imagine that there were such delicious snacks.
“I never thought that duck egg yolk can be used to make snacks.”
“When I was in Beijing, some ladies and ladies I knew didn’t eat salted duck eggs very much, and salted duck eggs are not easy to cook, so the price of salted duck eggs is also cheap.”
“If salted duck eggs can be made into such snacks and sold, the price of salted duck eggs will rise.”
She always thought that dim sum was sweet, but she never thought that dim sum fillings could be salty.
“I feel like I’ve eaten so many snacks and breads, and my favorite is egg yolk puff pastry.”
No wonder Zhi Luo had to pickle salted duck eggs before.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "I pickled some more at the end of last month. I will pickle some more now, and I can use them to make egg yolk cakes later."
Mrs. Cui said: "Everyday snacks cost five or six cents each, but this dim sum is ten cents each and there are people buying them."
"But this is here in Beizhou. If we go to the capital, someone will buy it for twenty or thirty cents each."
“The noble family doesn’t care much about the price. As long as something is rare and delicious, they will buy it.”
Jiang Zhiluo nodded, she understood that as long as there are good things in the capital, business will make money.
It’s just that prices in Beijing are high and housing prices are high.
Of course there are hidden dangers.
Without the protection of a background, it is difficult for ordinary people to start a small business.
“Such a delicious thing, you should also bring some for your younger brothers and sisters to try.”
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Mom, you are the only one who understands me and is willing to let me bring things to my brothers and sisters."
Mrs. Cui sighed with emotion: "To be honest, I also have brothers and sisters, and I can't help but miss them. Besides, Hejin also has a younger sister. Parents hope that their children have a good relationship and can take care of each other."
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but ask: "Mom, such a big thing happened to the Cui family, do they know?"
