463 Lotus Leaf Soup
Huang Sixia is also a very interesting person. When Zhou Dong said this, she immediately smiled and said, "Oh, is it the soup that Master Bao Er is thinking about?"
This "the most grinding teeth" soup comes from the 35th chapter of Dream of Red Mansions. After Baoyu was beaten, she was so painful that her mother was crying, so she asked her, "What do you want to eat?"
Baoyu smiled and said that he didn't want anything else. But the little lotus leaves and little lotus duckweed soup made that time was better...
This soup is called lotus leaf lotus soup.
When Feng Jie heard this, she smiled and said, Baoyu, you really know how to eat it, this soup is too chewy.
The reason for grinding teeth here is naturally not to say that grinding teeth really, but to say that this soup is not easy to make and it is very annoying to work hard. It is a soup that makes people anxious to grind their teeth.
Even the second grandmother Jia Fulian, who was eating in the dining room, said "grabbing teeth"... It can be seen how complicated this is?
Zhou Dong nodded: "Master Huang guessed it right, it was this lotus leaf lotus soup."
"Chef Zhou, I'm afraid this is not suitable, right?"
Huang Sixia frowned slightly, looking embarrassed: "Old Shang has always had no requirements for food, and what he hates the most is luxury.
This lotus leaf lotus soup sounds very simple, but it is considered extremely troublesome in the Jia Mansion, a tooth-graining dish..."
Huang Sixia is right. This lotus leaf lotus pod soup is not only complicated to make, but even the mold used to make it must be customized into lotus pods, and it is best to be silverware.
It is more than just a luxury to create such a set of molds, but it is extremely luxurious!
It is conceivable. No matter how delicious this soup dish is, Mr. Shang will definitely not be happy.
"Master Huang can rest assured, I know what I know."
Zhou Dong said: "This soup dish is called lotus leaf lotus pod soup. In fact, it just borrows the fragrance of lotus leaves. It does not really use lotus pods. Instead, it uses various ingredients to mix into a paste, put it in a mold to steam it, and then use chicken skin to put it into the soup, and then boil these "lotus pods".
The so-called luxury is actually mostly in this set of molds, but how can this be difficult for you and me?
Master Huang is a dragon and phoenix carving knife. Can’t you carve out a set of molds?”
"Of course I have thought about this, but what should I use as a tool?
Pumpkins are not good, and big radish is not good. The taste is not consistent with this soup dish.
Even if you use winter melon. Remember to read the collection site of the Dark Heart. The update here is really fast. It is hard to say that it will not affect the taste of this soup dish..." Huang Sixia came up with a few answers, but was denied by herself.
“Just use winter melon.
Compared with pumpkin and radish, winter melon has the lightest taste, and the mold carved with it should be useful. I will add some water chestnuts to the ingredients, which are sweet and slightly closer to lotus seeds, but they are a little sharper than lotus seeds, which just happens to be neutralized with winter melon.
Master Huang, I'll prepare various ingredients. I'll ask you for this winter melon mold?"
"That's OK..."
Huang Sixia thought it was great, but Zhou Dong made a chopping board by himself, but he called this dragon and phoenix carving knife in vain.
According to the records in Dream of Red Mansions, the lotus pods in the lotus leaf lotus pod soup are made of rice flour ground from Oda rouge rice, green ginger rice, red rice, etc., embedded in a silver mold. The names of these rice are all tall, but what kind of rice are they? I am afraid that only Cao Xueqin knows that many Redologists are still arguing fiercely...
This dish nourishes the spleen and replenishes qi, relieves menstruation and promotes blood circulation, is most suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Because of the system tasks, Zhou Dong has been thinking about how to make this soup dish. He is preparing to complete some tasks and also for his parents to eat. Therefore, he often practices in the kitchen of Cai Yao during this period. Today, when he saw Mr. Shang, he suddenly thought of this soup dish.
According to the research of some Redologists and Zhou Dong's own conjecture, the so-called Oda rouge rice should be what modern people call "purple rice". Isn't the green rice a fly-headed rice? As for the red rice, it is 90% sorghum!
Zhou Dong was thinking about Mr. Shang’s living habits, and he was afraid that there would not be too top-notch purple rice sorghum or something. The old man was used to hard work and simplicity all his life. Even if the people below wanted to get some top-notch good rice for him, he would probably be scolded. As a result, he opened the rice jar and found that he was really guessed. Zi rice is a first-class quality, but it was still a little far from what he asked in his heart.
There are also half a tank of sorghum. Huang Sixia said that this is because Mr. Shang likes to recall the hard years he was in the northern three provinces. He often had to eat some sorghum to prepare. As for the fly-headed rice, there is no such thing as Mr. Shang.
"Master Huang, you have to help me make some of the best fly-headed rice. No need to add more. It's almost done if you have five or six taels. You can also make some water chestnuts. If you lack these two ingredients, you won't be able to make this soup dish..."
"Don't worry, isn't it just fly-headed rice? I've long wanted to get some food for Mr. Shang, but Mr. Shang refused. Anyway, he turned around and mixed it up, so he couldn't see it. I'll get some without him hiding it."
As Huang Sixia's identity, it was just a matter of phone calls to get some top-notch fly-headed rice, and soon someone secretly sent it to you. Zhou Dong took it over and saw that it was one level higher than the purple rice and sorghum in the kitchen.
But even such a top fly-headed rice is far inferior to the green-stewed rice described in Dream of Red Mansions. Although it is fictional, Cao Xueqin was a noble young man from the first half of his life. What kind of ground power was there in that year?
However, these are not difficult for Zhou Dong. He took three or half of the three kinds of rice. When he mixed and started grinding, he just passed by his hands gently, and it seemed to be transformed and showed his glory!
The purple rice, which was originally just a first-class grade, was squeezed and released by Zhou Dong's hand. When it fell, it turned as purple jade-like. Every rice was filled with a thunderous light!
He gently stroked it by the first-class red sorghum, and every grain seemed to be about to flow out of oil.
There is also the fly-headed rice found by Huang Sixia. Remember to read the collection site of the Dark Heart. It is updated here very quickly. He directly consumed the praise value and exchanged it into the ancient tribute "Qian Di Cui" in the system. The color of the water head is purely like imperial green jade.
Most people may not be able to see these changes. After all, Zhou Dong's technique is very fast, but Huang Sixia is different, so Zhou Dong arranged for him in advance the work on the "chopping board". Lao Huang was carving a mold with a big winter melon. How could he think that Zhou Dong had already "stolen the sky and exchanged the sun" and prepared three good rice for Mr. Shang that he could not find at all now?
By the time he carved the lotus pod molds, Zhou Dong had ground all three kinds of rice into rice flour, and added the glutinous rice juice that had just boiled, and was stirring gently.
“Huh?”
Who is Huang Si? He is also one of the chefs in China. Although Zhou Dong was just mixing rice noodles, he could smell the rice fragrance a bit strange.
