Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 242 Cold Cake
Mu Ai looked at the edge of the chopping board, the girls who were both curious and apprehensive took a piece with their own hands with a smile, and put it in their mouths first, and then the girls also ate a piece with a smile.

Muai's taste buds have been fed by various modern candies. After eating simple toffee or milk cubes with only milk and sweet taste, I feel that the taste is too ordinary, and I frowned slightly, not very satisfied, but several But the girl didn't think so, she felt that it was fragrant and sweet, and she was very happy.

Seeing Madam's frown, Chun Equinox persuaded, "Madam, this candy is only made with goat's milk, which changes the taste. If you add other things, it will be better."

When Mu Ai was reminded by her, she really remembered the candies she ate when she was a child. She couldn't make chocolates, but it shouldn't be difficult to make various fruit candies, peanut toffees, and sesame toffees.

As soon as she said it, she regained her energy and led the maids to get busy. Every fruit in the space took out some juice, filtered it, and added it to maltose.Or goat milk, fruit juice, maltose and three ingredients are mixed and boiled, or cooked peanuts are crushed and cooked sesame seeds are all put in.

In the end, I was busy for almost two hours, and finally I was not tired in vain, and I made all the serious and successful ones.The faces of the girls flushed with joy, and Mu Ai was also very happy that each rewarded them with a silver hairpin.Then told them to keep a few children a secret, and wait until the end to give them a big surprise together.

Sure enough, when the children came back in the evening, they ate excitedly and talked about the lively scene of the opening. Their faces were full of pride and exhaustion. Mu Ai told them to go to rest early with distress. After staying up for an hour, he drew a few molds Come out and ask Chun Equinox to bring it to Mu Wu to find a blacksmith to make it.

On the second day, the children went out early, and she took the maids to make maltose again. After all, they consumed a lot. If they all took food from food, it would be the unit's food to make snacks.
In the afternoon, Mu Wu came back with the molds, and the master and servants baked small biscuits again. After the first pot was baked, Mu Ai thought about combining the oddly shaped biscuits that she had drawn, similar to gourd-shaped ones with skirts On the biscuit, two half crescents are inserted on the right side of the larger part, and a small thin strip is inserted into the smaller part on the front. Turn your hands and stand on the table, just like a fat little sheep.Several girls cheered in amazement, ignored the rules, rushed forward in a swarm, assembled one by themselves clumsily, and kept holding it in their hands, refusing to eat or put it down, only shouting how cute it is.

Muai threw down a few half-crazy maids, and heated up half a bowl of cooked oil in a small clean pot with a smile on her face. When the maids blushed and came to help, she instructed them to start kneading with the oil and a little bit of salt. I took a small piece of golden yellow dough, grabbed a small piece, wrapped cooked peanuts in the middle, rolled it in a sesame bowl, and put it on a round plate on the side.In this way, after wrapping a plate with all hands and feet, it was fried in a [-]% hot oil pan. The fried small sesame balls were salty, fragrant and crispy, very delicious.When everyone was brainstorming and thinking about replacing the peanuts with melon seeds, the autumn equinox actually rushed back.

As soon as he entered the kitchen and saluted, he looked at the many novel foods on the chopping board, and complained with a smile, "Madam studies new foods, and no one calls me, if I hadn't prepared snacks early today, thinking about coming back to give Young masters and ladies cook a few dishes, so you will miss such a great opportunity."

Xiao An said with a smile, "Sister Autumn Equinox has already missed it. Madam took us to make a lot of candy yesterday afternoon, and you didn't see it."

Autumn Equinox laughed and scolded her, "Xiao An, you bad girl, you deliberately annoyed me."

Mu Ai signaled the girls to continue to ponder, then pulled Autumn Equinox to the side, and asked carefully about the situation of food as the sky. In the past, after the birthday cake that we eat for the sky became popular, more and more people came to order the cream cake, and the puffs were sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves every morning. The daily whipping of cream on November [-] was exhausting. I can’t even lift it up. I discussed it with the third shopkeeper, and according to the old rules, there is only one birthday cake per day, and it is best to order in advance, and the puffs are baked for three catties. This will not delay the preparation of other snacks.”

Mu Ai nodded, seeing her beaming with joy, jokingly said, "Our autumnal equinox is getting stronger and stronger now, and we already have the posture of a strong woman."

Strong woman?Qiufen knows that Madam is praising her, but why does this name sound a bit strange, isn't a strong man a bad person who blocks the road? Is adding a woman a good word?
"You and Mu San have taken care of it well. The weather has been hot these days, so you must remember to store the dim sum carefully, and try to sell it on the same day."

"Yes, ma'am, the store has started daily sales half a month ago. However, the weather is hot now, and the number of people who come to buy dim sum is [-]% less than before." Qiufen said slightly apprehensively. Looking at the face of his mistress, after all, [-]% of the shipments lost more than ten taels of silver in one day.

Mu Ai waved her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this is normal, summer is hot in Japan, everyone wants to eat something cool and relieve the fever, most of the dim sum in our shop are dry and crisp, of course it will be affected. Hmm, isn't this month's new variety ready yet?"

Autumn Equinox nodded, "Yes, ma'am, I have also studied two things these days, but..." She lowered her head with some guilt, complaining that she was too stupid. After studying with Madam for so long, she only learned a little. Every time I study dim sum by myself, I need some advice from my wife, otherwise I will definitely fail.

Mu Ai waved her hand, couldn't bear to see her depressed face, stood up with a smile, and said, "It just so happens that you came back today, so give me a hand, let's make some cold cakes."

"Cold Cake? Yes, ma'am." When Qiufen heard the name, she knew it must be a very refreshing snack suitable for summer, so she happily washed her hands and put on her apron.

When Mu Ai was young, she was a little anorexic. In summer, when the weather was hot, she didn't like to eat. Her grandparents tried so hard to get her to eat more.

Later, grandma learned the recipe of this cold cake from an old lady who came from the south of the village. Every time she made it, she would put it in an aluminum lunch box and hang it in the well. The cold hurt her stomach, and he coaxed her to stop before she could eat a few yuan, which was really full of love and affection.

Later, she went to Beijing to study at university. Every time she saw someone selling small glass cabinets on the street, she couldn't help but buy a lot of them. Unfortunately, she couldn't taste the taste of grandma's own cooking. She knew that there was no milk in it. Knead into the sincerity of grandma to granddaughter...

Calm down, think carefully about what grandma did at the beginning, take a few catties of glutinous rice out of the space, soak it in water for [-] quarters of an hour, take advantage of this time, and prepare two bowls of red and mung bean paste with the autumnal equinox.
When the rice is soaked, it is taken out with a strainer and steamed in a large steamed steamer.Then pour it into a clean white cotton cloth, and the master and servant take turns to knead it into a muddy shape.

Mu Ai thought about it for a while, but was still worried that the rice paste would stick to the panel and it would be difficult to take it down. Suddenly, she remembered the soy flour she made a few days ago, just sprinkled a thin layer on the bottom, and then put it in the wooden frame used as a mould. Pour in a quarter of the rice paste, flatten it with a shovel, pour in the red bean paste and spread it evenly, pour in a quarter of the rice paste again, and flatten it, and sprinkle with soybean flour as before.Take down the mold, grab the small iron molds of various shapes used to bake biscuits, and buckle them one by one. After a while, a plate of cold cakes with heart shapes, stars, and other funny shapes is ready. up.

The autumn equinox was full of anticipation and took it to the soil refrigerator. After a quarter of an hour, I took it back. It was loved by everyone. It was waxy and soft, sweet and cool. In summer, there are better snacks than this. .

Although the girls used to make new meals with Mu Ai, they never had the same amount of snacks as in the past two days, and they were all clever and diligent in learning.

Mu Ai has been busy all afternoon, and she really feels tired. She has a little 3-minute passion in her temperament, and it is always difficult to persist in doing things for a long time. Thinking that the snacks and candies are almost done, she ordered A few words on the autumn equinox, reminding her to replace the bean flour with sesame seeds, or make it into a roll shape. In short, she doesn’t stick to the form and style, and she can do whatever she wants. As long as the appearance is beautiful and the taste is good, it is a successful work.

Autumn Equinox started to toss excitedly, and Chun Equinox also took a few girls to start making the remaining materials into finished products. Muai smiled and carried a plate of cold cakes, and picked up a few more candies and sent them to Ouyang to taste.

In the evening, Autumn Equinox cooked the meals with his own hands, and even couldn't wait for the masters to finish eating, so he ran out to Shiweitian to discuss with Musan about launching new snacks.

Mu Ai took the children to finish the meal, and then asked Chun Equinox and the others to bring out various candies and other snacks. Dayu and Tao'er also felt that their shop only selling ice cream was too thin for the past two days, and they were worried. Seeing that mom took out so many good things, I naturally knew that mom made them for them.

I ran to my mother with joy in my heart, wanting to express my gratitude, but my mother, who was too shy to kiss like her younger siblings, was drooling all over her face, and for a moment she just smirked.

Mu Ai embraced them, smiled and kissed them twice on the forehead, making them blush like Fuji apples.

Simba Cheng'er didn't think too much, while her mother was talking with her brothers, one left and one right, stuffing her mouth full of candy, fortunately the little girl didn't eat a few, so she ran to her mother to complain aggrievedly. It was very lively in the time room.

Ouyang stood outside the house and looked at the hall full of laughter. For the first time, he felt urgent in his heart. He wished he could get out of the darkness in an instant and marry that woman in an instant. Then he would sit in that hall and embrace her Looking at the woman he loves, smiling at the lovely children playing happily.

With a long sigh, he flew over the garden gate, pulled out the long knife behind his back, and untied the scimitar at his waist. He had to work hard to do it. The more skill he gained, the more hope he would get out of the secret camp. Similarly, He is one step closer to that woman, to that bright life...

　The weather is getting cold, I have started to wear cotton clothes here, my friends should also add more clothes, be careful of catching a cold! ! ! !
