Chapter 48
"I've only heard of sweet-scented osmanthus being used to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Can other flowers be used to make food?"

Lin Yuyan and He Xiaoxiao looked at her even more straightly.

Those eyes don't seem to be looking at people, they are almost like looking at God, the God of Cooking.

Qian Hongxian explained with a smile: "Of course, using flowers to make dishes is fragrant and delicious. It not only helps to increase appetite, but most importantly, it also has the effect of curing diseases and prolonging life. Such as hibiscus, honeysuckle, yellow chrysanthemum, jasmine, etc. It has the effect of clearing heat and regulating qi, and is very effective in treating gastrointestinal diseases; flowers like coltsfoot, rhododendron, and wintersweet have the effects of relieving summer heat, promoting body fluid, smoothing qi and relieving cough; chrysanthemum and safflower can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis; Relaxing the middle and regulating qi, can treat stomach cold and vomiting, chest tightness and insomnia, soothe the liver and relieve depression, irregular menstruation, etc. Rose, rose, safflower, etc. have conditioning effects in blood circulation, stagnation, and labor induction, which are extremely beneficial to women It is beneficial. There are more flowers that can cool blood and detoxify, such as honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, scorpion, cockscomb, rose, peony, etc. "

In addition to learning private cooking from Papa Gu, she also has a lot of research on medicinal food.This is mainly attributable to her grandfather, who studied Chinese medicine and focused on medicine and supplemented by food. He often mentioned the benefits of diet therapy in her ears.In addition, Qian Hongxian was originally a medical student, and he is familiar with the effects of various medicinal materials, so he is naturally able to cook medicinal meals with ease.

"Flowers have so many benefits?" Lin Yuyan and He Xiaoxiao were dumbfounded. This was a culinary world that they had never been exposed to before.

It was the first time they heard that flowers can not only be used for cooking, but also have so many benefits.

"But how do you make flowers into vegetables?"

The two of them are now completely curious babies absorbing culinary knowledge.

"This is not too particular. Generally, the flowers are washed first, rinsed with hot water and then drained with cold water. They can be made into dishes by frying, stewing, or cold dressing. The fragrance of flowers is usually very pure, no matter It can be combined with savory or sweet cuisines, and it is very inclusive, so the way of serving dishes is not rigid. For example, lily and noodles can be made into soup cakes, chrysanthemum can be cooked with pork ribs, or it can be used To cook porridge. Osmanthus flowers can be used not only for osmanthus cakes but also for glutinous rice lotus root. Peach blossoms can also be made into peach blossom wine besides cooking. The wine has a floral fragrance and has a special taste. In short, as long as you can imagine can do."

"Peach blossom wine, it sounds delicious." Listening to her description, the two swallowed unconsciously.

"It is indeed Yuqiong Immortal Brew."

There was a faint fragrance of peach blossoms in the air, Qian Hongxian recalled the peach blossom wine he brewed in his previous life, and couldn't help but read: "Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Immortals in Peach Blossom Temple; Peach Blossom Immortals plant peach trees, and pick peach blossoms in exchange for wine money. It would be great if there was a jar of peach blossom wine now."

He Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "I remember that there are many peach blossom trees in this mansion. After the assessment tomorrow, we will help you collect peach blossoms. Can you teach us how to make peach blossom wine? I think the peach blossom wine made by myself must be different. taste."

Qian Hongxian smiled and said, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, the three of them continued laughing and walking towards the residence.

Across the wall, the garden is full of peach blossoms.

A group of men in white clothes stood quietly under the peach blossom tree. It seemed that he had been standing there for a long time.The breeze rolled the corners of the clothes, the black hair was lightly fluttering, and the rustling petals fell in the hair, adding to the style.I saw him holding a branch of peach blossom lightly with his fingertips, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a warm smile flashed in his eyes: "Bring flowers into vegetables..."
