After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 143 Make delicious food
Then Jiang Xu washed all the green plums, just to remove the dust and impurities on the surface. Don't rub too hard to avoid damaging the peel.

Jiang Xu washed the green plums and sorted them according to size.

The big ones are placed on one side to make carved plums, and the small ones are placed on the other side to make green plum wine.

Jiang Li on the side took advantage of this time to prepare the ingredients for making green plum wine. Jiang Xu washed the large yellow green plums and soaked them in salt for a day.

The production process of green plum wine is a traditional and delicate process, and requires a lot of materials to be prepared.

The green plums that Jiang Xu's roommate sent are of really good quality. These fresh, ripe plums with intact skin, no damage, plump fruits, and green and shiny green plums can definitely be used to make delicious green plum wine.

After all, the quality of green plums directly affects the flavor of green plum wine, so this step is crucial.

As for wine, people generally choose sorghum wine, rice wine, brandy or rum, and the alcohol content should be above 35 degrees to ensure the flavor and quality of the plum wine.

If the alcohol content is too high, the wine may be too strong and affect the taste; if the alcohol content is too low, the flavor of the green plum may not be fully extracted.

Therefore, Jiang Li used rice wine, which she had made herself before, and there was still a lot of it, just enough.

There is also sugar. Rock sugar is a commonly used sugar in making green plum wine. It not only increases the sweetness of the wine, but also makes the wine more mellow.

According to custom, the ratio of green plum, wine and rock sugar in Jiangli is 1:1:0.5-0.8.

The last step is the container. Jiang Li chose a water-free, oil-free and odor-free glass sealed jar as the container.

The glass material can clearly observe the changes of green plum wine, and it also has good sealing performance, which is conducive to the fermentation and preservation of green plum wine.

Jiang Li has a lot of this kind of jars. I can use this jar when I make carved plums tomorrow.

Next, we will officially start making green plum wine.

Jiang Xu drained the green plums that he had just washed, and then Jiang Li spread them flat on a clean cloth to dry.

This step is very important because the moisture on the surface of the green plums will affect the fermentation effect of the green plum wine.

In fact, if time permits, Jiang Li also plans to place the green plums in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally for a while.

But there is still a lot to do today. After making the green plum wine, Jiang Li also plans to make another delicious dish.

Next, Jiang Li carefully removed the stems of the green plums with a toothpick or bamboo stick.

After all the green plums were processed, Jiang Li put them into the prepared glass sealed jars, and then stacked them in the order of a layer of green plums and a layer of rock sugar.

Rock sugar ginger sauce uses large pieces of yellow rock sugar, which is conducive to the rock sugar slowly melting and penetrating into the green plums during the fermentation process.

"Put more sugar in it, sister."

Seeing Jiang Li adding sugar, Jiang Xu on the side asked for help.

The main reason was that the green plum he had just eaten was too sour, so sour that he would never forget it.

"Hahahahaha, ok, I'll add more sugar."

Following Jiang Xu's idea, he liked a sweeter taste, so Jiang Li increased the amount of rock sugar appropriately.

After adding sugar, Jiang Li poured the selected wine into a sealed glass jar until it completely covered the green plums and rock sugar.

However, at this time, you should also pay attention to leaving a certain amount of space so that the gas produced by the green plums during the fermentation process can be discharged.

Finally, Jiang Li closed the lid of the glass sealed jar tightly and asked Jiang Xu to move it and place it in a cool and ventilated place for fermentation.

However, this is not completely done, because during the fermentation process, the condition of the green plum wine must be checked regularly and the air must be exhausted in time to prevent the bottle from exploding. Generally speaking, green plum wine needs to ferment for 3-6 months to reach its best flavor, but the specific time will vary depending on temperature, humidity and other conditions.

As for the green plums that were being soaked for carving, Jiang Li put them aside. So many green plums would be a big project tomorrow.

After dealing with the sudden arrival of green plums, Jiang Li began to prepare the delicious food she had wanted to try before.

"Sister, the wine is ready, what else do you want to cook?"

Jiang Xu, who had just come back from serving the wine, saw Jiang Li still busy in the kitchen and asked with some confusion.

“Make some snowflake puff pastry.”

Jiang Li took out the ingredients that she had prepared for making snowflake crisps from the kitchen cabinet and placed them on the table.

Looking at the marshmallows, milk powder, nuts, dried fruits on the table... Jiang Xu couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Sister, you can also make snowflake crisps, so amazing!"

Listening to the mindless praise from his younger brother, Jiang Li smiled and then explained.

"I tried it once before and it tasted pretty good and simple. This is my first time making it too, so I don't know if it tastes good."

Jiang Xu didn't care about that. In his eyes, there was nothing bad made by Jiang Li, and his cooking skills were maxed out.

"It's okay, sister. I'll eat it all!"

"Okay, okay, if it doesn't taste good, I'll give it all to you."

Jiang Li pushed Jiang Xu, who wanted to continue showing off, aside, found a non-stick pan of suitable size, and prepared to start making snowflake crisps.

Snow flake crisps are a delicacy that she had seen online before. Ever since she came into contact with the Internet and realized its wonders, Jiang Li has been addicted to it.

Following the blogger's steps, Jiang Li first heated the pan, then put in a piece of butter to melt it. After the butter was completely melted, she poured the marshmallows in and stirred them.

Jiang Li kept stirring until the marshmallows were completely melted, then turned off the heat, poured in the nuts, dried fruits, and small cookies and mixed quickly.

Then Jiang Li put on heat-proof gloves, reached out, took the ingredients in his hands, and kept turning them over, allowing the sugar to cover all the ingredients as much as possible.

When the mixture is almost done, Jiang Li puts the snowflake crisps into a rectangular container.

Sprinkle some milk powder on it to prevent sticking, press the surface until it is smoother, then shape it into a rectangle and let it cool.

It was the first time that Jiang Xu saw her making snowflake crisps. He watched with great interest and felt very relieved.

If it were because he was not good at doing it, Jiang Xu would have wanted to try it himself.

Jiang Li saw that there was still a lot of ingredients, so she simply made all the flavors she could at once.

This way, six flavors of snowflake crisps are made, namely: the most classic original flavor, strawberry flavor, matcha flavor, chocolate flavor, mango flavor, and mixed flavors.

The original flavor uses original marshmallows, with some chopped nuts and dried cranberries, and it is a white snowflake crisp.

The strawberry one is made into pink snowflake crisps by adding strawberry powder, and the matcha one is made into green snowflake crisps by adding matcha powder. In short, there are five colors in total.

After they cooled down, Jiang Li cut them into thick slices and asked Jiang Xu, who was free, to pack each slice individually.

There were a lot of snowflake cakes ready. She took a few of each kind and put them in her pocket, and also stuffed a few for Jiang Xu.
