Rebirth Era's Petite Wife

Chapter 197 194 Like to eat or not (720 monthly pass+)

Shen Jiao looked at the clock on the cabinet, it was a little past nine o'clock, and if she made it faster, she could catch up with Grandpa and Zhu Siya and the others for lunch, so she quickly took out a handful of magnolia seeds, black Small, like sesame seeds.

When Han Sigui saw these black seeds that he had never seen before, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What are these? Can I make jelly?"

"This is magnolia seed, the fruit of a plant called magnolia. You don't produce it here. This kind of plant is only found in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. People there like to use magnolia seeds to make jelly and eat it. It's delicious."

Shen Jiao explained patiently, and washed her hands carefully, then took out a clean gauze, put a handful of magnolia seeds into the gauze, tied it tightly with a rope to form a gauze bag, and poured the cold boiled water that had been spread in the morning Bringing it over, holding the gauze bag in his hand, he kept squeezing and rubbing it in the basin.

Making magnolia jelly is actually very simple, that is, wrap the magnolia seeds in gauze and squeeze them hard, then a transparent and viscous juice will flow out of the gauze and mix with cold water.

The key to making jelly is firstly that the magnolia seeds should be plump and high-quality, and the second is that the water quality is better, preferably mountain spring water, followed by well water, and then tap water. Water with poor water quality cannot make magnolia jelly. For example, the water in the farm in Q Province is not good, it cannot freeze, and the water quality is too hard.

Shen Jiaxing used to send people up the mountain to fetch mountain spring water in order to eat the best magnolia jelly.

Shen Jiao only squeezed a dozen times, and some jelly-like juice flowed out, and the clear and transparent water in the basin began to solidify, just like the glue, slowly congealing, which made Han Sigui very surprised.

"This stuff is quite interesting, can it be delicious after making it?" Han Sigui doubted whether this thing would be delicious.

Shen Jiao gently wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with the back of her left hand, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Is it delicious or not, it will be ready after a while, you will know after eating it!"

Qi Huarong and Han Sili came over with cool cakes in their hands. Qi Huarong cut the light green cakes into beautiful diamond shapes and neatly stacked them on a plate. Each plate cost about a dozen yuan, and they brought two plates in total. .

"Ouch, what are you guys doing?"

As soon as Qi Huarong stepped into the room, he saw Han Sigui standing beside Shen Jiao and watching Shen Jiao quietly. The atmosphere was very harmonious, which made Qi Huarong feel a sense of crisis.

When did Han Sigui become so friendly with Shen Jiao?
When Han Sigui turned around and saw her, he smiled and said, "Shen Jiao is going to make jelly, and I'm watching how she makes it."

Seeing that Han Sigui treated her the same as before, Qi Huarong felt at ease, but he became even more angry with Shen Jiao.

She just made the cool cake, you, Shen Jiao, will make jelly jelly, if you don't mean to go against her, you will write her name upside down!
"Sigui, sister Shen, take a break and eat cakes. It's completely cold now, and it's time to eat them!" Qi Hua endured his anger, and smiled and invited several people to eat cakes.

Shen Jiao looked at the cake on the plate, and couldn't help laughing, this Qi Huarong was really good at putting on a show, it was mung bean cake, and he insisted on calling it Qingliang cake!

When did Qingliang cake become mung bean cake?

This girl is really good at pretending!

When Shen Jiao saw that it was mung bean cake, she was not interested. On a hot day, she only wanted to eat some smooth and refreshing jelly jelly, but she didn't want to eat dry mung bean cake. Qi Huarong's mung bean cake seemed to be made in Kyoto, without adding any oil , it tastes a little dry, not too suitable for her taste, she still prefers to eat mung bean cakes from the south.

"You guys eat first, I'll do the work first." Shen Jiao politely refused.

Qi Huarong didn't say anything else, anyway, she didn't want Shen Jiao to eat it, it's better for Shen Jiao not to eat it herself, so that others can't find fault with her.

Han Sili and Han Sigui ate several yuan, but they also drank a lot of water. Han Sili said like an adult: "Sister Qi, your cake is not refreshing at all. I have to drink a cup of tea if I eat a piece of cake. My stomach is full!"

"Ouch, I'm going to pee."

The little guy ran towards the hut very quickly with his legs crossed, and came back with a satisfied face after a while, reaching out to grab the cake to eat, Qi Huarong frowned, but didn't say anything, but Shen Jiao couldn't stand it anymore, He reprimanded: "Li Yazi, have you forgotten to wash your hands after going to the bathroom? If you eat like this, there will be worms in your stomach, and the worms will compete with you for food."

Han Sili was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to wash his hands, and even soaped them up. The washing was delicious, and then he sighed reassuringly: "Now we can keep our food."

Shen Jiao couldn't help laughing, she quickly lowered her head and continued to squeeze the gauze. After kneading for about half an hour, the water in the basin basically turned into jelly, and the magnolia seeds on the gauze also turned into dregs, and no juice could be squeezed out anymore.

Shen Jiao exhaled, put the gauze aside, washed her hands, took out a pack of lotus root powder from the cupboard, and scooped two spoonfuls of lotus root powder into the basin. Otherwise, these juices will always be in a gelatinous state and cannot be frozen.

Then pick a few mint leaves from the front of the house, put them into a mashing mortar, mash them into juice, drop them into a basin, stroke them a few times with your hands, and smooth them evenly. When the water cools down, you can eat refreshing and delicious jelly jelly.

The transparent and crystal-clear jelly is particularly pleasing to the eye, and makes people feel much cooler before eating it. Han Sili swallowed, and asked, "Sister Jiaojiao, when can I eat this jelly?"

Han Sigui also showed a longing look on his face, looking at the pot eagerly, which made Qi Huarong even more jealous.

"You can eat it at noon. I'll put it in the pool." Shen Jiao took the basin and put it in the mountain spring pool in front of the house, where the sun can't shine, and it's as cool and refreshing as well water.

"The jelly we make in Kyoto is made of mung bean starch or lotus root starch. What does sister Shen use to make it? Never seen it before?" Qi Huarong asked intentionally.

Han Sigui rushed to answer: "It's magnolia seeds. Shen Jiao said it's her way of making it. It's delicious."

"I've never heard of magnolia seeds. Is there any evidence? Sister Shen should be more careful, some wild food should not be eaten indiscriminately."

Qi Huarong's words almost made it clear that your Shen Jiao's magnolia seeds are poisonous, but Han Sigui is straighter than moso bamboo, no matter how smart Han Sili is, he is still a seven-year-old kid, the two of them didn't understand Qi at all. Hua Rong alluded to her, and looked at her ignorantly, not understanding what she was talking about.

Shen Jiao didn't bother to shiver with her, and said directly: "If you want to eat something, you have to find out where it came from, Miss Qi, you really know how to make troubles, besides, why can't you eat wild food indiscriminately? What people in the mountains can eat, people in the city can't eat Miss Qi, don’t you just live in the mountains now, drink water and eat vegetables from the mountains every day, and I haven’t seen you get sick!”

Han Sili understood this time, Qi Huarong was saying that the mountains are not good, so he shouted angrily: "What's wrong with our mountains? It's a geomantic land!"

Qi Huarong hurriedly smiled and said: "I didn't say that the mountains are not good. Of course Xinquan Village is a good place. It is a good place with beautiful mountains and green waters and outstanding people. I just asked sister Shen to be careful about cooking, and don't use everything for cooking. "

Shen Jiao said angrily: "Then you should stop eating!"

　I eat a box of magnolia tofu every day in summer. It is very delicious. It costs two yuan a box in the supermarket. It tastes better than ice cream.

　　In addition, the Beijing-style mung bean cake is relatively dry, because there is no oil, unlike the southern mung bean cake, which needs to add a lot of lard, and it tastes very slippery.

　　The monthly ticket has already reached 755 tickets, the old sheep is about to fly, I love you, and we will continue the third shift at night!
