Chapter 157 Making Snacks (2)

Xiang Qin was still warming up rice for Liu Xiaodong on the earthen stove in the yard. Liu Xiaodong opened the lid of the pot, and there was a piece of roasted venison inside, "Hey? Didn't the venison be sold out yesterday? Why are you still here?" Have a piece?"

"I didn't sell all of them yesterday. I kept a piece at home because I thought you liked it." Xiang Qin didn't look up at Liu Xiaodong.

Liu Xiaodong was moved, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten it, eat it quickly."

Liu Xiaodong knew that Xiang Qin had lied to her, the barbecue was still a whole piece, how could Xiang Qin eat it? "You lied to me again, this meat has obviously not been touched."

Xiang Qin didn't feel embarrassed after being exposed by Liu Xiaodong, and said naturally, "I don't like food, you eat."

This is another lie, Liu Xiaodong didn't believe him, "I can't eat so much, you can eat some too."

"You eat first, and I'll eat the rest."

Liu Xiaodong knew that he couldn't persuade Xiang Qin, so he had to eat first. Liu Xiaodong ate very little, and she was in a hurry to make some snacks, so she put down her chopsticks after a few bites.

"Why do you eat so little?"

Liu Xiaodong cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks he had used, "I'm done eating, I have to go and see if there's anything wrong with the date paste and yam paste I made last night."

Liu Xiaodong went to the kitchen to take out all the things that were made yesterday, and dipped her fingers in the jujube paste and yam paste to taste. The taste of the date paste was not as good as when it was just made last night. I don't know if there is any difference in taste.

Although the taste of jujube paste is worse than last night, it should still work, so let's try it first.

To make dim sum, you need to use a mold to press out the shape of the dim sum. Liu Xiaodong bought it in the town yesterday. Now coat the mold with a layer of oil to prevent the dim sum from sticking to it. Then put yam paste, jujube paste, The yam mud, after compaction, pour it out gently, put it in the pot and steam it for a quarter of an hour, and the yam cake with jujube paste is ready.

After putting the lid on the pot, Liu Xiaodong was still a little nervous. He didn't know if he could succeed this time. When making dim sum, the most important thing to pay attention to was the heat. Liu Xiaodong kept watching by the stove, waited for a quarter of an hour, and then carefully put The steamer was taken off the fire, and the lid was opened, and a sweet aroma immediately filled the yard.

Liu Xiaodong was a little excited. This should be a success. The dim sum just out of the pan is the softest. Liu Xiaodong took two pieces out of the plate and chopsticks. When it was a little colder, he couldn't wait to taste one. It was soft and waxy, because the inside Glutinous rice flour is also added, so it still has some elasticity in the mouth.

"Try one, how about the taste?" Liu Xiaodong couldn't help sharing it with Xiang Qin.

Xiang Qin took a sip from Liu Xiaodong's hand, and Liu Xiaodong looked at Xiang Qin expectantly, "How is it?"

"Well, that's right, you can put more red dates." Xiang Qin told Liu Xiaodong his suggestion after tasting it.

That's exactly what Liu Xiaodong thought, "Well, I also feel that the taste of the red dates is a bit weak. I don't know if it's because they've been left overnight. I'll try another one later."

Although these tasted good, they hadn't met Liu Xiaodong's expectations, but she wasn't discouraged, this was already a success for her, but still needed a little improvement.

Liu Xiaodong first took out the dim sum left in the steamer. The jujube paste yam cake is relatively soft, so be sure to handle it with care, otherwise it will easily damage its shape.

Let’s keep these at home to eat, and sell them after mastering the proportion of jujube paste and yam paste. Liu Xiaodong has already mastered the method of jujube paste and yam cake, so I want to try to make osmanthus cake first.

The preparation of sweet-scented osmanthus cake is a little more troublesome than jujube paste yam cake. Liu Xiaodong first sifts glutinous rice flour and japonica rice flour to make the flour more fine, then adds sugar and kneads it evenly with water.

Then put the kneaded cake powder on the steamer and steam for a quarter of an hour. Liu Xiaodong used this time to wash the red dates and take out the date pits inside.

After steaming the glutinous rice and japonica rice flour, Liu Xiaodong quickly took it out, but it was still scalded.

"What's wrong? It's not hot, is it?"

Xiang Qin hurriedly dropped the work in hand, ran to Liu Xiaodong's side and grabbed her hand to see that her fingers were already a little red.

"It's okay, it's just red, and it's not hurt. I'll just wash it with cold water." Liu Xiaodong took his hand out of Xiang Qin's hand, and took a scoop of cold water to rinse it, "Look, it's okay , you don't have to be so nervous."

"Next time you ask me to get it, don't touch it." Faced with such problems, Xiang Qin has always been relatively strong.

Liu Xiaodong took a piece of wet gauze and took out the steamed cake flour. Because glutinous rice flour was added in it, the steamed cake flour was translucent, making people want to take a bite just looking at it.

This cake powder still needs to be kneaded continuously until the surface is smooth and the cake powder is fine. Liu Xiaodong has no strength, so after a few kneading, he can't knead it anymore. In the end, he let Xiang Qin knead it. Give it to Xiang Qin, Xiang Qin has great strength, and it took a quarter of an hour to knead it.

Liu Xiaodong then flattened the kneaded cake flour, cut it into pieces, brushed with oil, sprinkled with the sweet-scented osmanthus, and finally put it on the steamer for another quarter of an hour.

After steaming in this way, the scent of osmanthus permeates the whole piece of dim sum, and when it is taken out, the dim sum becomes yellow and tender, just looking at it makes you want to eat it.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is not the same as the jujube paste yam cake. It tastes better after it has been cooled. Liu Xiaodong asked Xiang Qin to taste a piece first, "How does this taste?"

"Osmanthus cake tastes better than jujube yam cake, you should try it too." Xiang Qin prefers osmanthus cake, because the sweetness of osmanthus cake is not as strong as jujube yam cake, and it also has a smell Fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Liu Xiaodong picked up a piece and tried it, "Well, I also think osmanthus cake is more delicious, but I also like yam cake with jujube paste. Let's save these for ourselves in the morning, and I will send some to my mother for them to try later. Taste it, and I'll make it for sale in the afternoon."

"I'll go with you, and you don't have to rush to make them all in the afternoon. Didn't you just say that the jujube paste yam cake is delicious when it's hot? You should make the date paste and yam paste first. When do you want to sell it? Do it again." , don’t worry about the sweet-scented osmanthus cake getting cold and affecting the taste, you can make the sweet-scented osmanthus cake first.”

Liu Xiaodong looked at Xiang Qin in surprise, Xiang Qin cleared his throat, "What's wrong?"

"It's the first time I've heard you say so many words at once." Liu Xiaodong was really surprised, and he only thought that Xiang Qin was a taciturn person who didn't like to talk.
