I have become popular in modern times with food

Chapter 74 The 2th Qi ([-])

The eleventh food point of the burning tail feast: twenty-four wontons with different shapes and fillings.

A snack is wrapped into [-] different flower shapes and colors, and the fillings are prepared according to the vegetables corresponding to the solar terms.

If it wasn't for the Chinese New Year, Yu Jian would really be reluctant to make such complicated desserts.

The cabbage of the beginning of winter, the tofu of Xiaoxue; the eggplant of the beginning of autumn, the lotus root of the great summer heat; the water lily of the beginning of spring, the leeks of the stinging; the lettuce of the beginning of summer, the cowpea of ​​Bailu...

The ancients were far more particular about their food than the modern ones.Yu Jianyou remembered that in the early years of the Kaiyuan era, Guanglu Temple once held a luxurious banquet, and the dishes made even those foreign friends were amazed.

This Sheng Jin [-] Qi wonton is one of them.

Yu Jian picked a few dark-colored vegetables, squeezed them into juice, added them to the flour, and kneaded them into dough.Knead doughs of different colors together to create a new color.

The Tang people's grasp of color is like their attainments in poetry, full of romance and fantasy.Vermilion, sauce purple, bright yellow, ice orange, lustrous white, jet black, verdant, fruit green, only you can't think of it, you can't do it without them.

About the current gradient, it was also possible at that time, Yu Jian thought to herself, the movements of her hands were not ambiguous at all.

After the skins of different colors are rolled out, the highlight is to adjust the filling.Vegetables should also be matched with meat, seafood, and seasonings to nourish the body.

Yu Jian instructed Yu Jianguo to cut the vegetables she had prepared into pieces, and then ground the meat into puree, and began to mix them one by one.

Spring bamboo shoots are the freshest in the rainy season. The bamboo shoots are mixed with diced bacon and wrapped in white dough into the shape of pear flowers; Qingming spinach is the sweetest, mixed with clam meat, kneaded into pink azaleas; Xiaoman's cucumbers are the most crispy, add Serve with egg cubes to make purple irises...

"It's too troublesome..." Yu Jianguo sighed while chopping vegetables that eating a meal is not an easy task.

"Don't be too tired, you'll know how good it is when it's out of the pot." Suddenly, Dashou Tao from a few days ago appeared in her mind, and the look in her father's eyes became strange again.

Maybe her father's aesthetic level is in that position, and there is no way to appreciate the beauty of this wonton?
Thinking of this, Yu Jian was relieved.

"Yo, what are your father and daughter busy doing?" Yu Jianping pushed open the door and came in, looking at the colorful table, showing interest.

"Ajian is making wontons!" Yu Jianguo rubbed his wrists angrily, and his hands were sore all the time cutting vegetables.

Yu Jianping picked up a peach-colored wonton and observed it carefully. The color was tender and lovable, and he even made a flower shape, which looked like a peach blossom in full bloom from a distance.

Isn't this...

"Twenty-four solar terms wontons?" He opened his eyes in disbelief.

"Yes! Uncle Jianping is still knowledgeable! Dad, you can read more books when you have time..." Yu Jian nodded in surprise, and there were still people who knew this dish.Then I started to hate my dad again...

"Stinky girl, you even made up your father!" Yu Jianguo scolded in a low voice, and threw a small carrot on her head, causing her to roar.

With the addition of Yu Jianping, Yu Jian's actions became faster, and after a while, he was full of flat baskets.She stopped and put some of the more beautiful ones up alone, ready to send them to Huang Nuan and Chen Xinyi.

The parents of the two have also arrived home. During this period of years ago, everyone was preparing various New Year dishes.

Yu Jian gave dozens of grains from each family, and was stuffed with a lot of ingredients as a gift in return.Dad Chen was even more exaggerated, and gave her a king crab directly, so scared that she put down the wonton and ran away.

Is the world of the rich all scary?
For dinner, Chef Yu Jianping tried his best to cook a few big dishes.

"Sister, can I eat some of the wontons you made today?" The little guy coveted the colorful wontons for a long time, and finally made a small request after the dishes were finished.

Yu's mother said, "I want to eat it too." It's just too beautiful, how can a woman withstand the temptation of beautiful things?

Grandma Yu also held out her chopsticks, expressing that she should not be forgotten.

This is good, the table is already empty, and at the risk of bursting the stomach, the whole family still wants to taste it.

The soup used to cook the wontons is boiled chicken bone soup, and only a little salt is added to make the eyebrows fresh.After adding three rounds of cold water, each wonton floated to the soup surface at the same time.

Yu Jian only gave three of them to each person, and they were only of different colors. There were too many fillings. In the end, even she herself didn't know what was in it.

When the blind box is opened, what is eaten is what.

Mother Yu picked up the deepest purple wonton in the bowl and took a bite. The cucumber was sweet and sour, and the egg white was tender.Then there is a big red camellia flower, which is stuffed with bitter gourd.The last one is her favorite color, pink, which looks like a budding peach, wrapped in spinach and clams, seafood and vegetables are perfectly blended, and green and pink complement each other.

This is not a meal, this is a visual feast!
Yu Yuan roamed in the sea of ​​diced bamboo shoots and bacon. He was so fascinated by the smell that he couldn't lift his head, and desperately stuffed wontons into his mouth.

Grandma Yu ate emerald green daffodils. The filling was beef diced fried with coriander. A large piece of beef was wrapped in coriander leaves. The smell was too delicious.

The whole family of the Yu family was silent at the moment, all struggling with the wontons in their bowls, eating what was in their mouths, thinking about what the next one would taste like.

……

The Chen family almost quarreled over a wonton.

Relying on the rare return, Dad Chen insisted that Chen Xinyi give him the last wonton in the pot.

As a result, Chen Xinyi sneered, scooped it directly into her bowl, stuffed it into her mouth in front of his face, chewed it twice, and swallowed it into her stomach.

This completely angered Dad Chen: "You unfilial daughter, do you have any respect for the elderly?"

Chen Xinyi sneered again and met his eyes fearlessly: "The old man is behind you, and I respect him." Then she asked, "Do you have any love for the young?" Grab it in your mouth, I'm sorry~

These words made Dad Chen choked, and he couldn't straighten his back from coughing.

Chen Xinyi looked at it for a long time and felt that her father would probably not be so boring, so she stepped forward and patted him on the back: "I'll ask Ajian to get some more tomorrow..."

"Just waiting for your words!" Dad Chen straightened up immediately, stopped coughing, and even his voice was the same as normal, he patted his daughter's head, "Go get it early tomorrow!"

Depend on!I was deceived by this dead old man again...
