Chapter 38 Chestnut Cake

After lunch, Shen Weinan was doing chores in the yard. He took out the whetstone and polished all the household items used during the autumn harvest. If some were not working well, he would repair them.

Lin Feifei went into the house. The sweltering midsummer had already passed. Although it was hot at noon in early autumn, the smell of stew and dryness was gone.

Thinking about cooking in the afternoon, Lin Feifei took out the secret recipe given by Xiao Feiyou and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, she was dumbfounded, she wanted tangerine peel, star anise, shiitake mushrooms, wine, sugar...why is it so complicated...

Looking at the others, they are quite complicated... The reason why the secret recipe is a secret recipe is because it has undergone countless improvements.

Lin Feifei frowned, skipped those complicated ones, and finally - she saw a satisfactory one.

Not only is it beautiful and nutritious, but it also has the effects of dredging breast veins, smoothing skin, removing cold and heat, treating carbuncles, sending out poison, anti-aging and anti-cancer!That is soy stewed pork feet!
She has seen soybeans at home. Although pepper, salt, dried chili, onion and ginger are not available at home, Uncle Lin has them. It should be easy to borrow and not difficult to make.

Lin Feifei looked at it carefully and felt very satisfied!
Looking at the cakes, there are purple potato yam cakes, sugar taro seedlings, sweet-scented osmanthus Dingsheng cakes, honey rose taro... etc. There is a kind of osmanthus chestnut cake that she likes very much, but there is no sweet-scented osmanthus sauce...

Or, leave the sweet-scented osmanthus sauce?Lin Feifei secretly decided.

Lin Feifei did enough homework in the house, and then went out. Since she wanted to do it, she had to peel the chestnuts first. Lin Feifei went to the kitchen to get a basin, moved a small stool, and then sat at the place where the chestnuts were drying , she found a shady place to sit down, and then began to peel the chestnuts.

Shen Weinan saw it, put down the things in his hands and walked over calmly, "What are you doing peeling this now?"

"I'm going to make chestnut cake this afternoon, and I need peeled chestnuts." Lin Feifei said while peeling.

"You know how to cook?" Shen Weinan couldn't believe it. People who don't even cook can still make pastries?

"Don't look down on me, I will definitely do it!" Lin Feifei gave him a white look and said.

"Then I'll wait, how much do you want?" Shen Weinan asked while stripping.

"Let's peel off a pot first." Lin Feifei pointed to the pot on the ground. The pot wasn't particularly big, but it just wasn't too small. Shen Weinan didn't say anything.

……

After peeling, Lin Feifei cut the chestnut meat into slices according to the recipe, added cold water, steamed it on high heat for about an hour, and took it out after it was cooked.

Then take glutinous rice flour, sugar and cold water, stir and pour in, continue to boil, and remove from the heat when it becomes sticky.

Lin Feifei poured out the chestnut paste, scraped it into two-centimeter flakes, and cut them into the most common small rectangles.

This is the simplest method. After it was done, Lin Feifei squeezed a piece and tasted it. The taste was right. Except that the proportion was not right and the steaming was a bit hard, Lin Feifei thought it was good!
"Honey, ah~, open your mouth!" Lin Feifei squeezed a piece with her hand and ran to Shen Weinan.

Shen Weinan opened his mouth cooperatively, swallowed the pastry in one gulp, and chewed carefully.

"How is it?" Lin Feifei asked proudly, her face was full of the expression of "quickly praise me".

"Delicious!" Shen Weinan was surprised, he didn't expect his mother-in-law to have such a skill, this pastry is delicious...

He had never eaten chestnut cake, but when he ate the one his mother-in-law handed to him at this time, Shen Weinan felt that it was too delicious.

Hearing the compliment, Lin Feifei was still a little embarrassed: "Hee hee, I'm a little dry, my proportions aren't right."

"Hurry up, I steamed a lot, you can eat more if it tastes good." Lin Feifei was very happy to be recognized for her own cooking, and generously shared the pastries she made.

 Good night, fairies!

  I really can't write anymore, see you tomorrow!
