Chapter 258 Sour Plum Soup

Mi Xiaoye thought about it, when she was dizzy, nauseous and had no appetite, it was like eating something sour, or, make a sour plum soup?Or, do Huamei?
However, even if Jun Yijing's appetite is relieved, what else can she do to appetize her?

Jun Yijing hasn't eaten much for two days, she is really hungry and thin.Mi Xiaoye looked at Jun Yijing's thin face, and was anxious to get angry.

"Master, master." Mi Xiaoye came to Su Ziling's room and found that he was not there.

Relying on her intuition, Mi Xiaoye found Su Ziling in the kitchen.

"Master, what are you doing...it tastes sour!" Mi Xiaoye said.

Su Ziling smiled and said, "How do you know Master is here? I saw a few people on the boat getting seasick, so I wanted to make some sour plum soup for Master."

"Master and I want to go together." Mi Xiaoye said, "I also want to make some sour plum soup to appetize everyone. Master, I'm not very good at making sour plum soup. Tell me about the specialties of sour plum soup. "

Su Ziling is actually very happy with this kind of action-based teaching. This is especially true for learning how to cook. You must never do it behind closed doors. No matter how familiar you are with the recipes, if you don't have practical operations, you can't cook a single dish.

Therefore, Su Ziling's teaching Mi Xiaoye's culinary skills pays more attention to practice.

While making sour plum soup, Su Ziling said: "To make sour plum soup, the main raw materials are black plum, hawthorn, osmanthus, licorice, and rock sugar. The authentic sour plum soup must be made with rock sugar."

"Why does it have to be rock sugar?" Mi Xiaoye asked.

Su Ziling said: "Because rock sugar not only combines the acid of sour plum soup, but also has the function of 'medicine inducement', and brings out the effects of black plum and hawthorn in reducing oil and greasy, appetizing and invigorating spleen. Sour plum soup promotes qi and disperses silt, promotes body fluid and quenches thirst, astringent Lung qi, relieving restlessness and calming the nerves, Yijing They don't have any appetite now, so it's time to use sour plum soup to appetize."

Mi Xiaoye carefully watched Su Ziling's method of making sour plum soup. Su Ziling mixed black plum, hawthorn, and licorice in a ratio of [-]:[-], added sweet-scented osmanthus and tangerine peel to increase the taste, boiled it in a pot, and then simmered it over low heat, etc. After the taste comes out, add rock sugar to adjust.

Mi Xiaoye asked: "Master, how do you judge whether the sour plum soup is authentic or not?"

Su Ziling smiled and said: "Look at the color of the sour plum soup, because the master boiled it with smoked black plum licorice and rock sugar. The color is thick brown, rich and moist. In terms of taste, the authentic sour plum soup is not only pure and refreshing , there is also a faint smoky taste. This smoky taste comes from ebony plums, because ebony plums are smoked, so the sour plum soup will have a unique taste.”

"I didn't expect sour plum soup to be so particular." Mi Xiaoye said with a smile, "I hope sister Jing can relieve it after drinking the sour plum soup made by master."

Su Ziling smiled and said: "Not only that, before boarding the boat, the teacher prepared some plums for cooking to prevent you from getting seasick."

"Master, Huamei is going to cook? Great, sister Jing must have more appetite. What is Master going to cook?" Mi Xiaoye asked eagerly.

Su Ziling smiled and said: "Well, think about it again as a teacher. The main thing is to use this sour plum soup to appetize them first."

"That's good." Mi Xiaoye said with a smile, "By the way, master, how do you make plums?"

Su Ziling said: "It's not difficult, but it takes a long time. The yellow plums are picked from the tree, washed, soaked in salt water for more than a month in a large tank, taken out and dried; rinsed with clean water after drying, and then dried; Soaking in sugar, then drying in the sun, repeated so many times, finally became a thick and crisp plum with moderate sweetness and sourness."
