Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 124 Cold Food Qingming
After passing through the thunderstorm at Yuntai Temple, Mi Xiaoye finally calmed down for a while, and stopped clamoring to go out.Perhaps it was because the last "tasting tea" incident hit Mi Xiaoye too hard, Mi Xiaoye was afraid of going out and encountering some weird things, refreshing her various views.

In a blink of an eye, it is already the Cold Food Festival.

Few people in modern times still know about this festival, but the ancient people attached great importance to the Cold Food Festival.

Regarding the origin of the Cold Food Festival, Mi Xiaoye, as a good student, still knows that it stems from the love, hatred and sadomasochism between Jin Wengong and Jie Zitui, a pair of monarchs and ministers.Just because when Jin Wengong was in trouble, Jie Zitui cut his shares to save him, but as soon as he became rich and became king, Jie Zitui forgot.Jie Zitui got angry and ran into the deep mountains to hide, no matter how Duke Wen of Jin summoned him, he arrogantly refused, and finally set fire to the mountain, and the paranoid Jie Zitui hugged a willow tree and would rather die than see each other.

Therefore, there is a cold food festival, where fires are prohibited, wicker circles are made, and willows are planted to commemorate Jie Zitui.

Fires are not allowed in every household, and Chef Su’s home is no exception. The pot is cold and the stove is cold, and there is no smoke.Of course, there is no fire for cooking during the Cold Food Festival, but that doesn't mean that everyone should go on a hunger strike for three days.

Dashang’s Cold Food Festival also has delicacies——barley porridge, which has the mellow taste of barley and the bitter taste of almonds.

As a cold food and a special food of the Ching Ming Festival, the method and eating method of "饧barley porridge" are relatively complicated.

The day before the Cold Food Festival, Mi Xiaoye finished washing and was waiting for her master to make barley porridge for herself.Su Ziling didn't know why Mi Xiaoye had been depressed since the group came back from Yuntai Temple, and he didn't know that Dashang's tea drinking method had ruined Xiao Nizi's views. He thought it was because she was too tired, so he said to wait until the Cold Food Festival When I was in bed, I would personally cook rice porridge, a special delicacy, for Mi Xiaoye.

Su Ziling, the God of Cooking, cooks by himself, which is not very common in the Su Mansion. After all, no one can taste their handicrafts if they want to.

Therefore, Mi Xiaoye is looking forward to this bowl of cold food food.

Fires cannot be lit during the Cold Food Festival, so Su Ziling has to prepare everything he eats the day before.

Mi Xiaoye watched humbly. Su Ziling first boiled the barley into a pulp, cooked it, then crushed the almonds and mixed them in. After cooling, cut them into chunks.This is different from the "porridge" in Mi Xiaoye's imagination. It is actually a biscuit-like thing after congealing. According to Su Ziling, it is best to pour maltose syrup when eating.

In addition, there is also a kind of "dry porridge" in the food of the cold food festival, which is to fry wheat flour, corn flour and rice flour, and add water to make a paste, which is a bit like modern "noodle tea", "lotus root starch" and "black sesame paste". these things.

However, if you rely on these "porridges" alone, you will definitely not be able to fill your stomach. Therefore, our Chef Su made another representative delicacy of the Cold Food Festival - Zitui steamed cakes!
Zitui Steamed Cake is also named in memory of Jie Zitui, but it is actually... jujube cake!When Mi Xiaoye saw the jujube cake, it was no longer fresh.

However, Su Ziling still took the taste of Mi Xiaoye into consideration. In addition to Zitui steamed cakes, he also made another kind of relatively high-end snack - cold utensils. , Stretch into bunches of thin noodles, twist and bend them and fry them in a frying pan until they are golden and crispy, they will break when you touch them, and they will be fragrant and sweet when you eat them.

This cold tool is still very popular with Mi Xiaoye, just like snacks, Mi Xiaoye can take a little bit to eat, it is crispy and delicious.
