It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 151 Chestnut and lotus cake (May [-])

Liu De, "W-what? Why, why did this happen? Didn't someone save you? It's just an ordinary sale."

Meng Mingzhou smiled wryly, "What can I do? There must be someone who doesn't want us to live a good life!"

Liu De was nervous, Meng Mingzhou smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, don't worry, I will definitely not go back in the next few years. When I go back in the future, they probably won't remember me."

Liu De looked at Meng Mingzhou in despair, and finally made up his mind, "Young master, no matter what your status is now, in Liu De's eyes, you are the same as the old young master of the Meng family. Miss Su!"

Meng Mingzhou stared into Liu De's eyes, "Have you made up your mind?"

Liu De nodded firmly.

Meng Mingzhou then smiled, "Okay, don't worry."

As for what to worry about, Meng Mingzhou didn't say, and Liu De didn't ask.

The former master and servant chatted for a long time all morning. After Meng Mingzhou left, Liu De stared at the beam in a daze.

In the kitchen, Su Qiao demonstrated her homemade dim sum. She steamed the peeled chestnuts in a pot, and then began to activate the oily skin and pastry.

Su Rui, "...... Qiaoer, I remember that chestnuts are only available in autumn!"

Su Qiao nodded her head as it should, "Yes."

Su Rui pointed to the chestnuts in front of her and asked, "Where did you get these chestnuts?"

Su Qiao pointed to Mrs. Wang.

Wang said with a smile, "It was given to me by my natal family some time ago. There is a large chestnut grove in their village. Every family picks a lot of chestnuts every year and puts them in the cellar. They can eat chestnuts next year."

Su Rui raised her eyebrows, "How big is it?"

Wang was stunned for a moment, "How big is what?"

Su Rui laughed, "How big is the chestnut forest!"

Mrs. Wang came to her senses, "Oh, it's bigger than going from the foot of our mountain to the dense forest."

Su Rui understood.

Su Qiao finished the work at hand, and the chestnuts would take a while to ripen. At this time, she looked at Wang with doubts, "Is there only chestnut trees?"

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Well, I also heard that there were other trees in the past, but after a disaster year, the chestnut tree in the forest saved everyone in time, so after the disaster year, they put the chestnut tree in the forest. All the other trees were cut down, and all were planted as chestnut trees."

Su Rui nodded, keeping these drought-tolerant and waterlogging-tolerant plants, in case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, they are the most life-saving food.

After all, modern technology is so advanced that even natural disasters cannot be resisted, let alone ancient times.

"Rui girl, are you home?"

When Mama Liu heard someone calling Su Rui, she hurriedly said to Su Rui, "Miss, someone is calling you."

Su Rui is immune to this name, and has begun to ignore herself. When Wang came here in the morning, she was shocked when she heard this name, and she got used to it later.

Su Rui remembered what Su Changsheng said yesterday, "Huh? I guess they are here to fetch water."

Mother Liu nodded, "Then I'll drive."

She is still not used to calling herself "me", but Su Rui strongly demands not to call herself a slave or villain in front of her.

Su Rui waved her hand, Su Qiao has already started to crush the chestnuts out of the pot, mix them with sugar, add some lard, fry them dry on a low heat, divide them into small balls and put them aside to cool completely when warm, Here you can wrap the oily skin and meringue together and roll it out, repeat it twice, and finally wrap the chestnut balls prepared before.

Seeing that she was about to be crushed when she was hugged, Su Rui quickly asked, "Qiaoer, what look are you going to do?"

Su Qiao was puzzled, "It's the same as the brown sugar cake in front."

Su Rui was helpless, "..."

Mama Liu didn't care about welcoming people into the yard, they would leave after carrying the water, and when she returned to the kitchen, she heard Su Rui ask Su Qiao what she said.

Stretching out his head to look at the chestnut cakes already wrapped in Su Qiao's hands, he said casually, "It can be made into flowers."

Su Qiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly looked at Mama Liu, "How to do it? Mama Liu will teach me!"

Su Rui actually has a lot of ideas for modern dim sum, but she is just an ordinary peasant girl in this era, she can't say anything, so she has to look at Mama Liu just like Su Qiao and others.

After all, Mother Liu was someone who had seen big scenes, she was not afraid of being watched by so many people, she just smiled lightly.

"Lotus, peach blossoms, both are fine. But this stuffing is relatively hard, not suitable for peach blossom shape, but I think it is suitable for lotus shape."

Su Qiao has never seen a lotus, so she doesn't know what a lotus looks like.

"Qiao'er doesn't know how to do it, please teach me, Mama Liu."

Ms. Liu washed her hands with a smile, then took the chestnut puff pastry from Su Qiao's hand, pressed it lightly, and took a knife to cut three times from the puff pastry. When it came, it stopped.

Su Ya looked at the chestnut cake in Mama Liu's hand in surprise, then saw Su Rui with a normal face, and Su Ying and Su Qiao who were equally shocked, and couldn't help asking curiously.

"Mother Liu, is this the lotus?"

Mother Liu was overjoyed, and looked at Su Ya and the others kindly, "Of course not, it won't show up until after the explosion."

Mother Liu, "Miss San, do you want to pack with me?"

Su Qiao nodded, Su Ya on the side looked enviously, Mama Liu looked up and saw it, then she glanced at Su Rui and signaled Su Rui to look.

Seeing Su Ya's yearning spirit, Su Rui smiled and said, "Sister Ya'er, there are so many things to prepare, and the two of them won't be able to finish it in a while. Would you like to help me?"

Su Ya pointed to herself in surprise, "Can I?"

Su Rui laughed, "Of course."

Three packs, the speed is much faster. After cooking the red bean sauce and apple sauce, Mrs. Wang helped to cook the pot. Su Rui poured lard into the pot. In fact, Su Rui wanted to pour peanut oil, but Mama Liu said that the peanut oil smells strong , will overwhelm the original taste of the dessert.

The temperature of the oil rose slowly, and Mother Liu carefully put the chestnut and lotus pastry into the oil pan.

"Mrs. Wang, please lower the heat. The temperature of the frying oil should not be too high."

Mrs. Wang was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly took out too much firewood and said, "Mama Liu is being polite, just call me Mrs. Wang."

Mother Liu smiled and explained to Su Qiao, "Miss San, do you think the top of the lotus has bulged?"

Su Qiao looked around, seeing that it was indeed the case, she nodded quickly.

When Liu's mother said this, she kept operating her hands, "You have to remember, when the top is slightly swollen, you have to use chopsticks to gently move it to help it stretch out the petals."

Su Qiao, "Then when is the best time?"

Mother Liu picked up the chestnut and lotus cake that was first put into the oil pan, and motioned for Su Qiao to look at it.

"You see, as long as all the petals are unfolded and shaped, it will be fine. Remember, don't over fry, or the color will not look good."

Su Qiao and Su Ya watched together, and saw that the meringue on each petal was distinct, layer by layer, petal by petal, as if it had a fairy air.
