Chapter 24 Making Osmanthus Cake
Honey has very good health effects.The prices of different types of honey are also very different. The best first-class honey comes from litchi, citrus, linden, Sophora japonica, milk vetch, Vitex, etc., and rapeseed is the second-class honey.
Rapeseed nectar-based products account for half of the production of royal jelly; since royal jelly is an essential food for the survival of the queen bee, the output is relatively small, and many beekeepers do not sell royal jelly. Pure royal jelly is very strong and has a special taste. Difficult to eat, it is difficult for people's stomach to adapt (diarrhea), and it is rarely eaten directly; most of the royal jelly on the market now is the result of mixing honey many times, and the so-called " "Royal jelly" (market product) is already very good, generally the proportion is lower.Generally speaking, honey, especially honey purchased directly from beekeepers, may have inconsistent color and precipitation. If the packaging is exquisite, the color and appearance of the honey are uniform, and the price is extremely low (less than 3 yuan/catties ), which is basically false.
The osmanthus tree in Zhang Taiping's house hadn't bloomed for many years, but it suddenly bloomed again, which was considered a miracle in a small village.Moreover, the fragrance of flowers is so strong that people can smell it from a distance, and bees are even more sensitive to the fragrance of flowers and flock to it.
Autumn is not considered the peak season for bees to gather flowers and make honey. Bees are generally more idle, and will spread out in all directions with a distance of three or four miles from the center of the beehive.
But starting at noon today, Old Man Wang discovered that Fengzi's route for collecting honey was not dispersed into a circle, but a straight line, and the busy frequency was much faster than usual.Out of curiosity, he followed the flight route of the little bee and found Zhang Taiping's middle courtyard.
I was amazed at the scent of osmanthus in Zhang Taiping's house.Osmanthus honey is originally high-quality honey, and the flowers of this osmanthus tree are extraordinarily sweet and rich. The honey made from Fengzi's flowers is definitely the best.
As for the village head and others, they were passing by or going to work on the mountain and were attracted by the grand occasion of Fengzi picking honey.
Zhang Taiping responded to the compliments from the villagers for a while, and looked up at the osmanthus trees that were already in full bloom.
Ever since the osmanthus tree was watered with spring water from the space, it was expected that the osmanthus tree would bloom, and the flowering period would be shortened, but it was unexpected that the fragrance of the flowers would be so strong and pervasive, attracting a large group of "flower pickers".
Old man Wang wandering around under the tree saw Zhang Taiping coming back, he walked over with smoke and said.
"Master, this osmanthus tree was planted by your grandfather himself, right? It has been around for 70 to [-] years, so it can be regarded as an ancient osmanthus tree. I haven't seen it bloom in recent years, but now it is blooming, and it has a strong fragrance. , it was released after saving for more than ten years, and this is a matter of good luck."
He sniffed the dry cigarette and said: "The bees have picked honey, and the quality of the honey produced will not be low. It is also because of you that when the honey comes out, I will give you a jar."
Before Zhang Taiping could speak, the people next to him let out sounds of envy.This kind of honey produced in the mountains is not cheap. The diluted honey can be sold for more than 25 yuan per kilogram, and the undiluted honey can be sold for at least 50 yuan per kilogram.A can is about one catty, and a gift worth about 25 yuan in a mountain village is not a lot.
Until it got dark, the industrious bees left one after another.
After the bees were completely gone, Zhang Taiping asked his wife to pick this lamp to grow under the tree, and then climbed up the tree to pick many sweet-scented osmanthus.He is going to pick some sweet-scented osmanthus to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Osmanthus cake has a history of more than 300 years.According to legend, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a peddler named Liu Jixiang in Xindu County. He got inspiration from the study of the number one scholar Yang Shengan Guizi Piaoxiang, collected fresh osmanthus, squeezed out the bitter water, soaked it in honey, and mixed it with steamed rice noodles. , glutinous rice flour, cooked oil, and sugar are mixed, and sold in boxes, named osmanthus cake.
For more than 300 years, the confectionary workshop that has inherited osmanthus cakes to make osmanthus cakes has continuously improved its craftsmanship, and now uses refined white sugar, caramel, flour, glutinous rice flour, rapeseed oil, honeydew osmanthus, etc. as raw materials.It is formulated in proper proportions and refined through processes such as steaming, frying, grinding, mixing, rolling, boxing, and knife-cutting.The product has the characteristics of white as jade, sweet and refreshing, fine and slag-removing, and strong cinnamon fragrance.
From the origin of osmanthus cake, it can be roughly divided into three types: Xianning osmanthus cake, Nanjing osmanthus cake, and Xiayang osmanthus cake.
Xianning osmanthus cake is produced in Xianning, Hubei, the famous hometown of osmanthus. The osmanthus cake was created in the late Ming Dynasty. The cake is soft and moist, white in color, with a strong fragrance of osmanthus. It is suitable for young women to eat, and it is a good gift for relatives and friends.Hubei Xianning osmanthus cake is characterized by unique ingredients, oily but not greasy, not astringent in the mouth, crisp and smooth to swallow, sweet and salty, fragrant and cool, and is very popular among people.
There are many sweet-scented osmanthus in Nanjing, not only in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, but also innumerable osmanthus trees hidden in the streets and alleys.October sweet-scented osmanthus cake.Nanjing's sweet-scented osmanthus cake is not only beautiful in appearance and soft in taste, but also has a special fragrance, even after eating it, the fragrance will linger for a long time.
The production of Xiayang sweet-scented osmanthus cake has a history of more than 100 years and is famous at home and abroad.It uses natural sweet-scented osmanthus juice to remove slag, and after 3 years in the cellar, it is taken out and prepared with traditional Chinese medicine spices such as cinnamon, woody, musk, mother clove, agarwood, Cyperus, Peilan, etc., and refined into "osmanthus sauce". ", then stir-fried, ground, steamed, and sieved glutinous rice flour, add high-quality white sugar, five-spice powder, sesame, salt water, knead to make a cake, and then moisten it with water vapor to make it stand for a long time When loosened, it becomes a delicious pastry that is sweet, delicious, refreshing and invigorating.Xiayang osmanthus cake is characterized by unique ingredients, oily but not greasy, not astringent in the mouth, smooth to swallow, sweet and salty, and cool in the fragrance.
From the variety of eating methods, it can be divided into sesame osmanthus cold cake, soft fried osmanthus cake, osmanthus fried rice cake and so on.
Zhang Taiping had eaten many kinds of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in his previous life, but he did not know how to make them.Zhang Dashuai has his grandma's method of making sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his memory.
The method of making osmanthus cake in memory is the most common crystal osmanthus cake.
If there is no sweet-scented osmanthus sauce prepared in advance, the flower petals can only be mashed into a puree, and then mixed with glutinous rice flour.
Steam the kneaded cake powder in a basket for about a quarter of an hour.Then wrap the cake flour with wet gauze, keep turning and kneading until the surface is smooth and the cake flour is fine.Then flatten the cake flour, pull it into long strips, smear it with vegetable oil, sprinkle with dried osmanthus, cut into long cubes and serve, or cut into long round strips of about 8cm and put them in a drawer. Minutes or so will do.
After coming out of the cage, first cut a piece of Yaya who is squatting next to her like a greedy cat.
Although it was the first time to make it, it was still a success.Although there is still a distance from the special ones, it is delicious and refreshing, crystal clear and filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
October is the right time to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, chewing soft sweet-scented osmanthus cake, with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, what a pleasure.
Looking at his wife and daughter smiling, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.Zhang Taiping suddenly realized that maybe they were not happy because they had the osmanthus cake, but rather satisfied with the process itself, because it was made by themselves.
In fact, they didn't ask much, and Zhang Dashuai in the past still couldn't give it. Now they only need Zhang Taiping to pay a little more attention, and they are so easy to satisfy.
Before resting, Zhang Taiping took out the red flowers in the box and handed them to his wife.
"Today I went to the mountains to pick up so many medicines, called saffron, which should grow in large quantities in Tibetan areas, and only a small part is hidden in the Qinling Mountains. It is very rare, and only occasionally lucky ones can come across it, so I picked such a big box. "
Cai Yazhi gestured suspiciously after seeing it. Is this the same as the herbal medicine my grandfather gave me some time ago?
"That's right, what grandpa gave you is also saffron, making tea and drinking it is good for your health, and can gradually get rid of the root of the disease in your body that fell during confinement."
"I'll go to the city tomorrow and sell these red flowers."
Does the town not accept it?
"The town also collects them, but the price in the town is much lower than in the city. These safflowers are quite a lot, and the difference is hundreds or even thousands of dollars."
Cai Yazhi still understood, and looked at Zhang Taiping suspiciously.In her mind, the most expensive medicinal material is only a few hundred yuan a catty, and how many catties are the safflowers in the box?Assuming that the difference between the city and the town is tens of dollars a catty, the difference is not that much.
Zhang Taiping went on to say: "I'm not talking about bragging. Don't underestimate this safflower. It is not sold by catty, but by gram. A gram costs more than 20 yuan."
Seeing his wife's bewildered expression, he realized that in the mountain village, people always talk about things in terms of weight, and the villagers have no concept of weight at all.
"Let's put it this way, a catty is five hundred grams, and these are about two catties, and they can be sold for more than 5000 yuan."
This time Cai Yazhi understood, her eyes widened and her mouth couldn't be closed for a long time due to surprise.Pointing at Zhang Taiping for a while, pointing at himself for a while, waving his arms subconsciously, but unable to express any information.
Zhang Taiping understands his wife's current mood, like a city dweller who won the lottery, unable to control himself for a while.
No wonder she behaved like this. For a person in a rural mountainous area, 2 yuan is already a huge number. If it is calculated purely by growing crops, it is equivalent to the total income of more than three years.What's more, Cai Yazhi's money has never exceeded [-], and [-] is a figure that can definitely surprise him.Although it was only herbal medicine and hadn't been exchanged for safflower bills, it had already made his mood agitated, and he held the box nervously and carefully.Gein was really scared before.Honey has very good health effects.The prices of different types of honey are also very different.

"Let's put it this way, a catty is five hundred grams, and these are about two catties, and they can be sold for more than 5000 yuan."
This time Cai Yazhi understood, her eyes widened and her mouth couldn't be closed for a long time due to surprise.Pointing at Zhang Taiping for a while, pointing at himself for a while, waving his arms subconsciously, but unable to express any information.
Zhang Taiping understands his wife's current mood, like a city dweller who won the lottery, unable to control himself for a while.
No wonder she behaved like this. For a person in a rural mountainous area, 2 yuan is already a huge number. If it is calculated purely by growing crops, it is equivalent to the total income of more than three years.What's more, Cai Yazhi's money has never exceeded [-], and [-] is a figure that can definitely surprise him.Although it was only herbal medicine and hadn't been exchanged for safflower bills, it had already made his mood agitated, and he held the box nervously and carefully.Gein was really scared before.Honey has very good health effects.The prices of different types of honey are also very different. The best first-class honey comes from litchi, citrus, linden, Sophora japonica, milk vetch, Vitex, etc., and rapeseed is the second-class honey.
Rapeseed nectar-based products account for half of the production of royal jelly; since royal jelly is an essential food for the survival of the queen bee, the output is relatively small, and many beekeepers do not sell royal jelly. Pure royal jelly is very strong and has a special taste. Difficult to eat, it is difficult for people's stomach to adapt (diarrhea), and it is rarely eaten directly; most of the royal jelly on the market now is the result of mixing honey many times, and the so-called " "Royal jelly" (market product) is already very good, generally the proportion is lower.Generally speaking, honey, especially honey purchased directly from beekeepers, may have inconsistent color and precipitation. If the packaging is exquisite, the color and appearance of the honey are uniform, and the price is extremely low (less than 3 yuan/catties ), which is basically false.
The osmanthus tree in Zhang Taiping's house hadn't bloomed for many years, but it suddenly bloomed again, which was considered a miracle in a small village.Moreover, the fragrance of flowers is so strong that people can smell it from a distance, and bees are even more sensitive to the fragrance of flowers and flock to it.
Autumn is not considered the peak season for bees to gather flowers and make honey. Bees are generally more idle, and will spread out in all directions with a distance of three or four miles from the center of the beehive.
But starting at noon today, Old Man Wang discovered that Fengzi's route for collecting honey was not dispersed into a circle, but a straight line, and the busy frequency was much faster than usual.Out of curiosity, he followed the flight route of the little bee and found Zhang Taiping's middle courtyard.
I was amazed at the scent of osmanthus in Zhang Taiping's house.Osmanthus honey is originally high-quality honey, and the flowers of this osmanthus tree are extraordinarily sweet and rich. The honey made from Fengzi's flowers is definitely the best.
As for the village head and others, they were passing by or going to work on the mountain and were attracted by the grand occasion of Fengzi picking honey.
Zhang Taiping responded to the compliments from the villagers for a while, and looked up at the osmanthus trees that were already in full bloom.
Ever since the osmanthus tree was watered with spring water from the space, it was expected that the osmanthus tree would bloom, and the flowering period would be shortened, but it was unexpected that the fragrance of the flowers would be so strong and pervasive, attracting a large group of "flower pickers".
Old man Wang wandering around under the tree saw Zhang Taiping coming back, he walked over with smoke and said.
"Master, this osmanthus tree was planted by your grandfather himself, right? It has been around for 70 to [-] years, so it can be regarded as an ancient osmanthus tree. I haven't seen it bloom in recent years, but now it is blooming, and it has a strong fragrance. , it was released after saving for more than ten years, and this is a matter of good luck."
He sniffed the dry cigarette and said: "The bees have picked honey, and the quality of the honey produced will not be low. It is also because of you that when the honey comes out, I will give you a jar."
Before Zhang Taiping could speak, the people next to him let out sounds of envy.This kind of honey produced in the mountains is not cheap. The diluted honey can be sold for more than 25 yuan per kilogram, and the undiluted honey can be sold for at least 50 yuan per kilogram.A can is about one catty, and a gift worth about 25 yuan in a mountain village is not a lot.
Until it got dark, the industrious bees left one after another.
After the bees were completely gone, Zhang Taiping asked his wife to pick this lamp to grow under the tree, and then climbed up the tree to pick many sweet-scented osmanthus.He is going to pick some sweet-scented osmanthus to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Osmanthus cake has a history of more than 300 years.According to legend, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a peddler named Liu Jixiang in Xindu County. He got inspiration from the study of the number one scholar Yang Shengan Guizi Piaoxiang, collected fresh osmanthus, squeezed out the bitter water, soaked it in honey, and mixed it with steamed rice noodles. , glutinous rice flour, cooked oil, and sugar are mixed, and sold in boxes, named osmanthus cake.
For more than 300 years, the confectionary workshop that has inherited osmanthus cakes to make osmanthus cakes has continuously improved its craftsmanship, and now uses refined white sugar, caramel, flour, glutinous rice flour, rapeseed oil, honeydew osmanthus, etc. as raw materials.It is formulated in proper proportions and refined through processes such as steaming, frying, grinding, mixing, rolling, boxing, and knife-cutting.The product has the characteristics of white as jade, sweet and refreshing, fine and slag-removing, and strong cinnamon fragrance.
From the origin of osmanthus cake, it can be roughly divided into three types: Xianning osmanthus cake, Nanjing osmanthus cake, and Xiayang osmanthus cake.
Xianning osmanthus cake is produced in Xianning, Hubei, the famous hometown of osmanthus. The osmanthus cake was created in the late Ming Dynasty. The cake is soft and moist, white in color, with a strong fragrance of osmanthus. It is suitable for young women to eat, and it is a good gift for relatives and friends.Hubei Xianning osmanthus cake is characterized by unique ingredients, oily but not greasy, not astringent in the mouth, crisp and smooth to swallow, sweet and salty, fragrant and cool, and is very popular among people.
There are many sweet-scented osmanthus in Nanjing, not only in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, but also innumerable osmanthus trees hidden in the streets and alleys.October sweet-scented osmanthus cake.Nanjing's sweet-scented osmanthus cake is not only beautiful in appearance and soft in taste, but also has a special fragrance, even after eating it, the fragrance will linger for a long time.
The production of Xiayang sweet-scented osmanthus cake has a history of more than 100 years and is famous at home and abroad.It uses natural sweet-scented osmanthus juice to remove slag, and after 3 years in the cellar, it is taken out and prepared with traditional Chinese medicine spices such as cinnamon, woody, musk, mother clove, agarwood, Cyperus, Peilan, etc., and refined into "osmanthus sauce". ", then stir-fried, ground, steamed, and sieved glutinous rice flour, add high-quality white sugar, five-spice powder, sesame, salt water, knead to make a cake, and then moisten it with water vapor to make it stand for a long time When loosened, it becomes a delicious pastry that is sweet, delicious, refreshing and invigorating.Xiayang osmanthus cake is characterized by unique ingredients, oily but not greasy, not astringent in the mouth, smooth to swallow, sweet and salty, and cool in the fragrance.
From the variety of eating methods, it can be divided into sesame osmanthus cold cake, soft fried osmanthus cake, osmanthus fried rice cake and so on.
Zhang Taiping had eaten many kinds of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in his previous life, but he did not know how to make them.Zhang Dashuai has his grandma's method of making sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his memory.
The method of making osmanthus cake in memory is the most common crystal osmanthus cake.
If there is no sweet-scented osmanthus sauce prepared in advance, the flower petals can only be mashed into a puree, and then mixed with glutinous rice flour.
Steam the kneaded cake powder in a basket for about a quarter of an hour.Then wrap the cake flour with wet gauze, keep turning and kneading until the surface is smooth and the cake flour is fine.Then flatten the cake flour, pull it into long strips, smear it with vegetable oil, sprinkle with dried osmanthus, cut into long cubes and serve, or cut into long round strips of about 8cm and put them in a drawer. Minutes or so will do.
After coming out of the cage, first cut a piece of Yaya who is squatting next to her like a greedy cat.
Although it was the first time to make it, it was still a success.Although there is still a distance from the special ones, it is delicious and refreshing, crystal clear and filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
October is the right time to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, chewing soft sweet-scented osmanthus cake, with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, what a pleasure.
Looking at his wife and daughter smiling, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.Zhang Taiping suddenly realized that maybe they were not happy because they had the osmanthus cake, but rather satisfied with the process itself, because it was made by themselves.
In fact, they didn't ask much, and Zhang Dashuai in the past still couldn't give it. Now they only need Zhang Taiping to pay a little more attention, and they are so easy to satisfy.
Before resting, Zhang Taiping took out the red flowers in the box and handed them to his wife.
"Today I went to the mountains to pick up so many medicines, called saffron, which should grow in large quantities in Tibetan areas, and only a small part is hidden in the Qinling Mountains. It is very rare, and only occasionally lucky ones can come across it, so I picked such a big box. "
Cai Yazhi gestured suspiciously after seeing it. Is this the same as the herbal medicine my grandfather gave me some time ago?
"That's right, what grandpa gave you is also saffron, making tea and drinking it is good for your health, and can gradually get rid of the root of the disease in your body that fell during confinement."
"I'll go to the city tomorrow and sell these red flowers."
Does the town not accept it?
"The town also collects them, but the price in the town is much lower than in the city. These safflowers are quite a lot, and the difference is hundreds or even thousands of dollars."
Cai Yazhi still understood, and looked at Zhang Taiping suspiciously.In her mind, the most expensive medicinal material is only a few hundred yuan a catty, and how many catties are the safflowers in the box?Assuming that the difference between the city and the town is tens of dollars a catty, the difference is not that much.
Zhang Taiping went on to say: "I'm not talking about bragging. Don't underestimate this safflower. It is not sold by catty, but by gram. A gram costs more than 20 yuan."
Seeing his wife's bewildered expression, he realized that in the mountain village, people always talk about things in terms of weight, and the villagers have no concept of weight at all.
"Let's put it this way, a catty is five hundred grams, and these are about two catties, and they can be sold for more than 5000 yuan."
