Chapter 220 Bite of Spring
Nanzhi spoke eloquently, without even a pause, speaking fluently and naturally.

Not to mention the students, even Teacher Zhang and his friends heard for the first time the theory of maintaining health through diet according to the four seasons and the 24 solar terms. They all listened with great interest and were even more excited than the students!
Not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room, they were all dumbfounded!

[Your cooking class seems different from my cooking class...]

[Meow meow meow? Are cooking classes in schools so advanced now? They actually talk about Chinese medicine from cooking? ]

[The wisdom of our ancestors is that one method can be applied to everything! I find it very interesting! ]

[My daughter's school's cooking class doesn't teach this, otherwise I would have to go and take the class! ]

[Who would have thought that I would be so excited to listen to celebrities talk about health care on the live broadcast of Baby Variety Show! ]

[Is everything Nanzhi said true? Will it mislead the students? ]

【The Chinese medicine professional is here, and what she said is very right! 】

[Nanzhi's knowledge is really very broad. Should we say that she is worthy of being a top student of Yanda University? ]

[Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb me from listening to Teacher Nan's lecture! ]

……

Nanzhi puts forward this theory of "eating in season" mainly to introduce the following:
"As mentioned earlier, we should eat spring chives in spring, which should be more spicy and less sour. In fact, the ancients realized this earlier than we do. In the pre-Qin period, there were grand ceremonies to welcome spring. The "Book of Rites·Monthly Orders" records that on the day of the beginning of spring, the emperor would lead the three dukes, nine ministers, and the princes and officials to worship the spring god Ju Mang, in order to pray for timely wind and rain and a good harvest in the coming year. At this time, a kind of food called Wu Xin Pan appeared. Wu Xin refers to five kinds of vegetables. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" explains that Wu Xin refers to spicy and tender vegetables such as onions, chives, Polygonum, Artemisia, and mustard. It is a must-have food for festivals, just like Tu Su wine. However, as you can tell from the name, these five pungent vegetables will definitely not taste good. Therefore, people who love to eat gradually replaced the vegetables in it. By the Tang and Song dynasties, the Wu Xin Pan evolved into a spring pan, which became increasingly refined, and various vegetables were caged in thin pancakes... Do you feel familiar when you hear this? Yes, this is the origin of spring pancakes. In the Ming Dynasty, people only called it spring pancakes, and no longer called it spring pancakes."

[I see! Teacher Nan, I understand! ]

[We still have the custom of eating radishes in our home! ]

[The ancients were so poetic and romantic that they actually described chewing dry radish as chewing spring? ]

[The runbing we eat in southern Fujian seems to have evolved from spring pancakes. There is an old shop near my home that has superb craftsmanship. They beat flour and water into a soft dough, hang it on their hands, and roll it around the hot pot. Then a pancake is ready! After returning home, they cut carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, dried tofu, etc. into shreds, add bean sprouts, chopped celery, coriander and other auxiliary ingredients, and occasionally add peanut powder and powdered sugar for seasoning. It is especially delicious! ]

[This recipe sounds familiar. Wasn't the peanut ice cream roll from the Wanwan Night Market very popular on social media a while ago? It seems to be made in the same way as the Minnan Runbing. The crust is sprinkled with ice cream, peanut powder and coriander. It tastes amazing! ]

[What? Ice cream with coriander? What heresy! ]

[We also have spring rolls in Sichuan. We add shredded potatoes, carrots, and kelp, mix with chili oil, and pour some sweet vinegar when eating... Oh, I can't take it anymore, I'm drooling, I'm going downstairs to buy spring rolls immediately! ]

[Nanzhi and his friends are in our province. Don't you have silk dumplings in your province? They are small, but they contain more than a dozen side dishes, and are served with their own spicy, sour and fresh dipping sauce. In one word, absolutely delicious!]

[Okay, okay, you're showing off here, right? Be careful not to piss me off, I'll immediately...buy a plane ticket to go to your hometown to eat! But humbly ask where should I buy a flight to first? ]

[Hahaha, our country is vast and rich in resources, and the food is also different, so how can it be ranked first? ]

[No matter what, I want to eat the spring rolls made by Nanzhi the most! ]

……

The audience was discussing enthusiastically in the barrage, and the enthusiasm for discussion was unprecedentedly high!
In major search engines, searches for keywords such as "spring pancakes", "biting spring", and "ancient spring customs" have also skyrocketed by hundreds and thousands of times. Who would have thought that Nanzhi not only taught a lesson to the children in the village school, but also taught a lesson to countless viewers across the Internet?
This directly promoted food exchanges among different places and stimulated netizens' desire to discuss food.

Later, even major official accounts joined the PK and stood up for the spring delicacies of their hometowns.

Of course, these are things for later.

Now, after Nanzhi had finished explaining the knowledge of tracing the roots, he began to practice it.

Yesterday, Teacher Zhang temporarily allocated her some funds for teaching. Nanzhi took the money, took a bus to a nearby town, and bought some necessary ingredients and utensils, which she can use now.

Nanzhi took the lead in demonstrating——

Spring rolls have a long history in the history of food. After being developed in different places, different ways of eating them have evolved.

Some are as big as a tea tray, while others are no smaller than a palm.

However, the universal standard is that the spring rolls should be as thin as a cicada's wing, delicate and soft.

There are different ways to make spring pancakes, including steaming, baking, frying...

Nanzhi mainly uses the first two methods. She first kneads flour and water into dough, pinches it into pieces, rolls it into small pancakes, brushes oil in the middle, then folds them together and rolls them into a thin layer, almost translucent. She then steams them in a bamboo basket, and soon the dough is cooked. Gently peeling it off reveals a spring pancake skin as thin as rice paper.

In addition, Nanzhi also uses the baking method, which is to prepare a batter with appropriate moisture and spread it on a frying pan. This requires skills and patience. If you don't grasp the degree, it is easy to make the spring pancake too thick and it will not taste good.

Because the latter is more difficult, Nanzhi only demonstrates it and mainly lets the students choose whether to steam or bake it when they practice it themselves.

Next, it was the students' turn.

It was impossible for all the more than 50 students to be assigned a pot and stove, so Nanzhi simply let all the students form groups and take turns.

The children were all very sensible and everything was in good order. There was none of the chaos and disorder that some people had imagined.

Nanzhi shuttled back and forth among the students, occasionally giving hands-on guidance.

She found that most students chose steaming because it was simpler and the dough was softer.

Only a small number of students chose pancakes, showing their fearlessness and courage to challenge.

Nanzhi looked over and saw a small figure among the small figures making spring pancakes.

It’s Southern Italy.

His angle was just right with his back to her.

Nanzhi didn't need to go around to the front to imagine Nanyi's current expression. He must be gritting his teeth and looking fierce and refusing to admit defeat.
