I run a farm, how can I become a zoo?

Chapter 134 Making Flower Cake

Hearing what Su Mu said.

Xu Suxin couldn't help but think about it.

Then I felt that Su Mu’s idea was really great.

Yes.

In rural areas, there are actually not many entertainment programs.

Most people finish dinner and then stay at home to watch TV or something.

Moreover, since you are in your hometown, you should enjoy it as you want.

"Brother Su, this feels really great!"

"haha, yes."

"Wait a moment, I'm busy first."

"Okay, Brother Su."

Xu Suxin nodded and went to the side.

After all, Su Mu was working, so she couldn't disturb him.

Time flew by, and more than an hour passed quickly.

In front of Su Mu, two recliners had appeared.

Although it looks a bit ugly.

But Su Mu can guarantee that as long as this recliner is not vandalized, it will not break down if you lie down on it every day for two or three years.

"Come on, Su Xin, let's try it?"

"Okay."

Xu Suxin smiled slightly, and then carefully lay down on the recliner.

With her slight movements, the recliner slowly rocked.

It feels like riding a rocking car when you were a child.

"Brother Su, this recliner is very suitable."

"Haha, as long as it fits."

Soon, Su Mu also lay on it and tried it.

Overall, it's pretty good.

However, because it is made of wood, it seems a bit hard.

As for hard ones, they are easy to handle.

When the time comes, weave some bamboo and put a pillow or blanket on it, and that will solve the problem.

"By the way, what do you want to eat tonight??"

Su Mu lay on the recliner and asked Xu Suxin.

"As long as it's made by Brother Su, I like it."

Xu Suxin answered with a smile.

After all, Su Mu is good at cooking.

Even ordinary dishes are delicious.

And she's not picky either.

Whatever you cook is what you eat.

"How about I try flower cake today? Do you want to eat it?"

"Flower cake??"

Upon hearing this, Xu Suxin's face was full of doubts.

She still knew about the so-called flower cake.

It is a snack with flour, rose, magnolia, chrysanthemum, etc. as its main raw materials.

Speaking of flower cakes, there is another allusion.

It is a pastry specially ordered by Qianlong.

According to historical records, flower cakes were created by a cake maker as early as 300 years ago in the Qing Dynasty. Because flower cakes have the refreshing fragrance of flowers, sweet but not greasy, and beautify the skin, they have been widely spread from Kunming in the southwest to the north. It can be seen in Tianjin.

The "Yanjing Annual Records" written in the late Qing Dynasty records: "In April, those made with roses are called rose cakes. Those made with wisteria flowers are called wisteria cakes. They are all foods that suit the time."

The flowering period of edible roses is limited, and this cake only uses the petals of edible roses, which is one of the reasons why flower cakes are so precious.

As the reputation of flower cakes increased day by day, with the tributes from the officials in the court, they became the royal center of the palace. They were deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong and received his approval: "In the future, rose cakes will no longer be used as snacks for worshiping gods. Just please.”

Xu Suxin has eaten it before, and it tastes really good.

But she didn't expect that Su Mu could also make flower cakes?

That's why this surprised her.

"Brother Su, can you make flower cakes?"

"Yeah, I can do it."

Su Mu smiled.The recipes for system rewards and the method of making flower cakes have been deeply imprinted in his mind.

So regarding this technology, he will naturally do it.

"Brother Su, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to try it."

Xu Suxin didn't say anything else.

If it's too much trouble, there's no need.

"Haha, don't worry, making flower cakes is not troublesome."

"The most important one is about materials."

"I don't have any roses or chrysanthemums here."

"So I was wondering if I could use squash blossoms instead."

'I've never eaten the pumpkin flower flavored flower cake. Since Brother Su is interested, why don't we go to the vegetable field and have a look? '

"Well, wait a minute, I'll get a small basket."

Su Mu smiled slightly, then stood up and went to the room, and quickly brought a small basket.

immediately.

The two went to the vegetable field together.

Fortunately, Su Mu planted a lot of pumpkins, and now many pumpkin vines have bloomed.

And most of them are collected by bees.

So you can pick with confidence.

In just a short time, Su Mu and Xu Suxin picked more than 20 pumpkin petals.

"It should be almost done, let's go back."

"Okay, Brother Su."

The reason why I proposed to make flower cakes.

The main reason was that Su Mu wanted to test how good the recipe rewarded by the system was.

Besides, he also has honey at home, isn’t that even better?
If you want to make flower cakes, honey is completely indispensable.

First of all.

What needs to be done is to pick the petals and then add sugar to knead them gently. Add honey to taste according to the dryness and wetness to retain the floral fragrance and remove the bitterness. Seal and avoid light for 2-3 days. Add a certain amount as needed when filling. The cooked glutinous rice flour reduces the humidity and increases the viscosity of the filling.

However, Su Mu planned to eat it today, so fermentation and other things could be prepared in advance the next time he makes flower cakes.

In the kitchen, Xu Suxin and Su Mu picked the petals away together.

The next thing to do is the crust.

You need to use lard, water, and flour to make the oil crust and puff pastry. When wrapping the filling, the puff pastry is on the inside, and the pumpkin petal filling is placed on the outside of the oil crust.

Once these are done, the next step is to bake.

Brush a layer of egg wash on the surface of the pie crust, poke a few holes with a bamboo skewer to avoid deformation and breakage during baking, and bake in the oven at 150° over medium heat for 25-30 minutes.

After Su Mu put the prepared flower cake into the oven.

The two stood in front of the oven, waiting expectantly.

Although Xu Suxin has eaten flower cakes before, she has never eaten flower cakes filled with pumpkin petals.

In addition, Su Mu's craftsmanship is very good.

Xu Suxin is looking forward to this very much.

This flower cake will definitely taste great! !
Time passed quickly, and all I could hear was the sound of the oven dinging.

Su Mu's eyes lit up, then he put on his gloves, opened the oven, and immediately took out a plate of golden flower cakes.

Suddenly, a fragrant smell spread into their noses.

"No!~"

"Brother Su, this flower cake smells delicious!"

"Yeah, it smells delicious, but I don't know how it tastes."

"Let it cool down first, and we'll taste it later."

"it is good."

Just like that, I waited for about 10 minutes.

This flower cake has finally cooled down a lot.

Next, Su Mu and Xu Suxin each took a piece of flower cake and began to taste it.

As soon as you enter your mouth, you feel a floral scent pouring into your mouth.

Coupled with the sweet taste of honey, the smell of pumpkin petals is even more mellow.

As soon as I took a bite, Xu Suxin’s eyes lit up.

This flower cake is indeed great!
At least half as good as the flower cakes she had eaten!
However, if you can use rose petals instead, I'm afraid it will taste even better!
